our baby

today i got to see our baby!! it is a little angel and i just love it, you could see it's little arms moving around on the ultrasound and its little heart beating. This whole pregnancy is so much more real now that i actually SAW our baby! After the ultrasound i had to go to the lab for some blood tests and they took 10 viles of blood. After about 4 my arm stopped cooperating and they had to switch arms. I sometime during the switch passed out long enough for her to get the last 6 viles of blood, wake up on a gurney with about 8 people around me trying to wake me up. They said i got so pale that they could almost see through me. They had to call skyler to come pick me up and wouldn't release me till i stopped shaking...which took forever. i have no clue why i went out but i was so confused when i woke up and was completely COVERED in sweat. Even though the appointment ended bad i was still so excited to have the pictures of baby in hand!dont mind that i am holding the pictures upside down or that i look deathly, this being sick business has taken quite a toll on me.

everyone dreams

Skyler has something new that he wants to be probably every week. Throughout our marriage he has wanted to be a helicopter pilot, cop, homicide investigator, firefighter, ski instructor, truck driver, ski lift technician, a bounty hunter, lawn man, a country singer or rockstar, a back country paramedic and so many more i can't even recall.

Driving into oregon we drove through many mountain passes and through one of them there was lumberjacks cutting down trees with some huge machines. Skyler's eyes lit up and he made me take a picture of him with a log so he can "see himself as a lumberjack." The whole ride home all i heard about was how great it would be to be a lumberjack.

Yet...with all these hopes and dreams he is majoring in accounting

more announcements..

save the date....december 8th






....YES i am pregnant! I had to wait to tell until i got to california to tell my mom in person. She FLIPPED [video below] I had her "help me carry in some stuff" and gave her a bag i got from the doctor FULL of all kinds of pregnancy stuff. As she was walking in the house she kept trying to see what was in the bag then after she set it down, it hit her..and then the craziness happened.

But the important stuff, i am 5 weeks along and so far so good. I am SO tired all the time and pee every 2 seconds but no sickness. Skyler and i are so excited!!

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Skyler and I are moving to Portland...In a few days. I don't know how i forgot to announce it to the blogging world but we are moving out of rexburg, for 5 months. Skyler is going to work all summer in Portland, then we will come back to the burg in the fall. I am SO excited for a change of scenery...and free rent! This should be an adventure!!

sunn diego

The other weekend Skyler, His brother Ladd, and I took a quick weekend road trip to San Diego to visit family that was there on spring break. There was A TON of driving but we all had so much fun and the driving didn't even phase us too much. We spent a few days at the beach, got to stay with the Hazens and spend some time with them, See little brother Zach before he leaves on his mission to Mexico, got some sexy sunburns, and just had some genuine fun laughing with the Evans family alll day long.

SLACKER!!

I have been slacking bad when it comes to blogging, so here's a little catch up of the last month or so...

1. Skyler DID NOT buy a motorcycle. He was just trying to be a little jokester, i would never NEVER let him buy a motorcycle.

2. VALENTINES, so so so fun. Skyler took me out to eat the night before and then blindfolded me. We drove around for a while and then we walked me [blindfolded STILL] into a hotel room. He had decorated the room earlier in the day and it was so cute. We just relaxed, went into the hottub, ect ect..Then on Valentines we woke up and drove to Grand Targhee and went snowboarding for a few hours. That night we went out to eat with some friends and after words had a mini prom at the clark pest control building, it was actually kinda cute!3. Skyler has a new obsession with building snowboard ramps. He borrowed a tow rope from a friend and he connects it to the back of our friends car. The driver gets up to about 30 MPH pulling skyler till they get to the ramp and skyler thinks he gets "good air"...not the safest obsession in the world.4. There is so much snow here that it is higher than our mailbox...sad.5. FHE, we try to do FHE every week with our family that is here in town. The other week Skyler tried to be creative and came up with "7 minute craft box". He filled a box with random stuff from around the house and we had 7 minutes to make our own creations. After the time was up we all explained our inventions and had a good laugh.6. We got to babysit a friends little boy HUNTER and he is an ANGEL! He is about 4 1/2 months and Skyler and him were buddies, it was SO cute. We had so much fun having him over here, but it get's us both a little baby hungry...watch out mom!potty training hunter7. This last weekend some friends of ours were in Utah. They kept trying to get us to go down there to go snowboarding but we had other plans for friday night and didn't have time to get there before saturday. SO friday night we got home about 11:30 and at about midnight Skyler decided that we should go on an adventure and we went down to Utah. We got there about 4 a.m. and had to wake up at 7:30 to go boarding. The day was absolutely beautiful, it was warm and the sun was shining. I had no goggles because they got stolen a few months back and i got the WORSE sunburn. My face had ugly tan lines from my beanie and my eyes were blood shot. My under eyes and eye lids were so burnt that the next morning i could not even open my eyes and my face looked like a freakin tomato. Even though i felt like death after we had a ton of fun, but by the time we got back to rexburg we were EXHAUSTED. [yes, we drove home that same night and got back about 3 a.m.]

OK there we go, welcome to my life for the last few weeks!!

Skyler's new addition to the family!!!!!

This is Skyler I have some news to announce, just thought I would show everybody my new pride and joy! Now that the snow is melting Rexburg Motor Sports is making some sweet deals!!!!!finalizing the purchase

(just a joke)

moose hockey

This last weekend we went out to watch the Jackson Hole Moose hockey game with a bunch of friends. I developed a love for hockey. Just a few reasons...1. Skating is SO much more fun to watch then running around on a field
2. They let the players fight!! The ref's don't break it up until someone is on the ground
3. Figure Skating during intermission
4. The crowd...INSANE, loved LOVED that
5. You aren't in the BURNING SUN or FREEZING COLD, you are inside
A hockey game was definently out of the norm but we actually had a REALLY good time. We became big fans just being in such a pumped crowd. Definently a good date idea!!

ballin'

Every wednesday night a group of guys play basketball at the stake center. Back in the day Skyler used to be baller and loves to go play. Last night i went to go cheer him. Turned out that they had an odd number of guys there and I had to jump in and play. I have NEVER played basketball before and i was probably NO help but it was fun to be able to play with Skyler. He was a stud out there!!

6 months

Yesterday was Mine and Skyler's 6 month anniversary. SO we decided to celebrate!! My cute husband took a break from work and brought me a card and some goodies, it was so cute to see that he 1. remembered and 2. thought about me!! Then that night we went out to eat, [since Skyler got laid off we haven't eaten out once and have been CHEAP so it was so fun to be able to get out!!] We went out to hardhat steak house and had the yummiest dinner, and the scones there...to die for!! The whole day he was like "this time 6 months ago we were in the temple, at our reception, and so on." He really made the day special for me and i am so lucky to have a husband who loves me SO much!!
