Halloween 2008

Jaylee's first halloween.. OUR LITTLE BUMBLE BEE.. 4 1/2 mo old. 

This year for Halloween we went over to Shane and Jodi's (My brothers house) in Hurricane to go trick or treating w Brock and Brex. Jaylee lasted about an hour and then was out cold in her stroller. Brock and Brex had a blast though. 

Why this picture is upsidedown, I don't know and I can't fix it but I think its the cutest picture of her and of course her little hands are together. 

Yes people, I had a hair crisis. I went completely dark about a month ago and hated it so i'm slowly going back. Thanks to my brother Shane telling me I looked terrible w dark hair and 4o yrs old, I tried to go back blonde a little to soon and my hair feels so fried. So, I'm stuck being dirty blonde for awhile. BROTHERS..... 

Gotta love the family photo shoot. 

Nolan just loving his little girl. 

Slowly falling over. 

These are my little nephews Brock and Brex and my sister in law Jodi. She was a good sport and dressed up. I think Marcae and I dressed up one to many times even when it wasn't Halloween so I wasn't up to it this year. 

My brother Shane and his boys. 

This is a Mask that makes Brock and Brex cry and FREAK OUT.. Shane told me to get the camera ready and get Brocks reaction. SO......... Here it is... 

Poor Kid.. he about wet his pants he was so scared. 

Shane trying to apologize. Brock wasn't up to talking right then. He was a little upset w his Daddy. 

Happy Halloween Right!!!

JAYLEE 4 mo old and getting so big.

HOW DOES TIME GO BY SO FAST????

I know everyone always says enjoy every min cuz it goes by so fast and it really does. I can't believe she is already 4 + mo old. It seems like the past 2 weeks she has grown so much and she is doing so much. TODAY she rolled over for the first time. I was worried she was behind but she was just taking her own sweet time. These are a few things she has done in the past 2 weeks.

She is holding her own bottle now.

She for some reason holds her hands like she is praying all the time. It is so cute.

She LOVES her bath time and can't get enough of it.

She sits up in her bumbo all by herself w out a bobble head. Finally strong enough to hold her own head up.

She loves watching cartoons and giggles now. Her first giggles/laugh was last friday.

She gets so excited under her play gym and is grabbing and gripping things so hard now.

Her first sleep over w Kenyon Fritzsche. Gina's little boy. He's already all over her. Leg, arm and all. Isn't he the cutest little thing ever.

She is saying her prayers already. What a little angel.

I love my little girl so much and love being a mom. It has changed my life more than ever and I am loving every little moment w her.

HARVEST 5K IN MEMORY OF KATE ROSENVALL

My Best Friend Marcae put together a 5K Walk/Run and Harvest Fest in Fillmore in memory of her daughter Kate Rosenvall. "Kater Bugs"  Kate was born on July 15th 2006 and returned home on March 25th 2008 w her heavenly father. Kate touched many lives while she was here for a short time and was such a special little girl. Marcae and Bryan spent most of their time at Primary Childrens hospital where Kate spent many months of her life. You never once heard Marcae complain as she found the best out of all the hardships they had to go through. What amazing parents Kate was blessed to be with while here on this earth. They truly loved Kate and I know Kate knew how much they loved her. Kate fought until she couldn't fight anymore and is now watching over her loving parents and sister while she is now free from all the hospitial machines, poking and prauding and pain. She is a perfect little angle and we all love and miss her so much. Marcae and Bryan have been through so much but they somehow find the best out of everything and keep moving forward. All the money that was made from the Harvest 5k/Apple fest was donated to Primary childrens hospital in Kates name. It was held in my home town "Fillmore Utah" and there was an amazing turn out.  Thanks Marcae and Bryan for putting this together and for all the hard work and time you put into it. It was so much fun. 

This is where it all began. The starting line up fillmore canyon. 

Teresa Nielsen and I up bright and early ready to start the 5k up fillmore canyon.

Cute little Jaylee was so excited to run it w us and the smile shows it. She loves being outside and in the jogging stroller. 

The Nielsen girls. We are just missing Martha. I used to practically live at the Nielsens house. Good to see you girls.  

Jen, Cheryl Ocamb and Jill Larsen. 

Taunie Stott, Lisa Beckstrand, Brady Robinson and ME!! Haven't seen these girls forever. It was so good to see you all again. 

We all made it. This was after the race at the finish line at the Barn. 

Marcae, Teresa and I. 

My uncle jeff getting the apples ready. He was having a blast. There was a dinner that night along w a band, dancing and apple pressing. Everyone had a great time. 

Teresa and I went up to the cemetary to visit Kates grave site. It was placed a few weeks ago and I know Marcae was so excited to get this put in. She always has it looking so nice for little Kate. She is actually buried right by my dad. It was good for me to go up there. Marcae it turned out perfect. 

Jaylee just laying there enjoying Fillmores Fresh air while at the cemetary. 

Trying to look all country and stuff:) 

Just me and my hubby. He really was not excited to take this picture at all. Thanks though sweetie for supporting me and coming to fillmore for all the activities. Youre the best hubby ever. 

Jaylee's Blessing Day!!

JAYLEE'S BLESSING WAS AMAZING. 

We blessed Jaylee on Sunday and Nolan gave the most amazing blessing ever. I was so impressed w him and it was quite emotional. I was so scared that Jaylee was going to cry through the whole thing but she didn't make a peep. Nolans whole family came down for the weekend and it was great to spend time w them since we dont get to see them that much. After the blesssing we went to my brother Shane's house in Hurricane. It was so much fun to be w family and friends. Marcae and Bryan drove from SLC as well and we had alot of other friends that supported us as well. Thank you family and friends for being there on this special day. We love you all so much. 

OUR LITTLE PRINCESS IN HER BLESSING DRESS!!

Auntie Lindsey made this bracelet for her. Thanks Lindz.

Me and my little princess. 

My sister in Law Lindsey feeding Jaylee and giving me a break so I could try to eat. Doesn't she look like a natural. 

My two bestest friends, Jalene and Marcae were there. I love you guys. Thank you so much for always being there for me. 

Bryan and Mia. Isn't Mia a spitting image of Bryan. Thanks Bryan for being the supportive husband and coming down. Jaylee loves seeing her best friend Mia. 

Jalene is officially engaged and is practicing for when she is going to have a little one. SOON.. right Jalene?????? 

 

Just admiring our little miracle. 

Me and Lindsey. Shes a hottie isn't she.

I was going to post a few other pics of us doing our modeling poses but I'll save those for later. I thought this one was more appropriate.  

Family, Friends & FUN...

I've been so bad about keeping up on this blogging stuff. Im going to try to do better. The summer is almost gone but I've been able to spend time w my new little girl and of course family and friends. I don't know what I would do without them and I now don't know what I would do without my little girl. She has been so much fun and I LOVE being a mom.

The past 3 weeks Jaylee has really started smiling alot and she really recognizes us and her surroundings.

SHE'S GETTING SO BIG ALREADY.

We took her in for her 2 mo check last week and she weighs a woppin 9 lbs and is 22 inches long. Long and skinny. She's doing great and even doing better at nights. She only gets up 1 to 2 times a night now but the day that I finally get to sleep clear through the night will a good night. It will definitely call for a celebration when that happens.

Just waking up in the morning. Shes a morning girl and is so happy when she wake up.

Just getting ready for her bath.

This was actually one of the first days she smiled. Morning of Aug 8th. Of course I captured it on camera. What a cutie huh!!!

FRIENDS!!!!

What would I do w out my friends?? I have the best friends and I can't tell you how lucky I am to have the friends I do.

These are my cute St. George Friends. Jalene Ellett, Regan Bastian, and Melanie Nielsen. An afternoon out to lunch w just the girls.

These are my bestest friends in the world.

Mackenzie (Johnson) Boyce, Gina (Quarnberg)Fritzsche, Marcae (Roper) Rosenvall, Teresa (Hinckley) Nielsen, and we are missing 2. Jalene Ellett and Deb Jordan weren't able to make this sleepover a few weeks ago, but are usually there. I brought Jaylee and she did great and loved hanging out w the girls. The 7 of us have made sure we get together at least once every month or two for a gathering and a sleepover. Our husbands wondered if it really was going to keep going the way we do w the whole sleep over thing and now they just deal w it. They think we might be to old for that but we'll be 80 yrs old and still having sleep overs. We stay up all hours of the night, eat LOTS of treats and talk about everything and anything. I know they will be there for me through anything and I love them to death. Thanks girls for being such great friends. I really dont know what I would do w out your friendships.

FUN W FAMILY!!

We were able to go to SLC and spend some time w Nolans family. These are pictures of his nieces and nephews. Aren't they the cutest little things. This is jennies little one Nixon. They actually look alot alike

Nixon, Jace, Leah, Bella and Jaylee. All cousins on Nolans side.

FUN W MY FAMILY IN SUNNY ST. GEORGE!

My sister Tamlyn was able to fly in to come and meet her favorite little niece. We of course had to spend time at the pool and get some sun.

POKER NIGHT AFTER SWIMMING..

Gotta love to play poker. Of course Nolan was the dealer. He's the best. I actually won the first game. I've gotten to be pretty good:) I had a good teacher.

Does NOLAN LOOK SERIOUS OR WHAT.. Or just bored after 4 hours of playing poker.

(Don't worry Peep's that's not his drink. )
