On December 27th at 5:22 p.m. we got to meet our beautiful little girl! She weighed 8lbs 10 oz and is 20 in long!! For measuring small my entire pregnancy, we were sure shocked at what a chunk she is! She is such a sweetie, and we love having her in our lives.

At four o'clock that morning my water broke so Josh and I packed up and headed to the hospital. When I got there I was 2cm and 80% effaced. Around 8 o'clock there was still no change, so we waited another two hours... Even then I was only a 3. Two more hours passed with no change.. I had been having contractions all morning, and they got to be very painful so I got an epidural which helped a lot, but only worked on one side at a time! It was very frustrating.. I was also very sick and throwing up. So I was pretty miserable by the time my Dr said they could FINALLY start me on pitocin. Within a couple of hours I was a 5 and within one more hour I was a 10! They had me do an hour of rest and descend and then told me it was time to push. My nurse said I would be pushing for 1-3 hours, but within 10 minutes I was holding my little girl! It was such an amazing experience, I can't believe I did it! My Dr was out of town the 26th-28th, so I had the on call Dr. Which made me really nervous, but he turned out to be really nice. Plus Josh and our parents were so sweet and supportive the entire time, I don't know what I would have done without them!

Merry Christmas!

We had a very white Christmas this year! We thought we might be snowed in, but thanks to my sister and brother in law we were able to make it out to see family. Josh and I went to his parents house on Christmas Eve and to my parents house on Christmas for dinner and to exchange presents with family. It was so fun to be able to spend time with both families! Christmas morning we went to my sisters house and played in the snow. Phil built a huge jump with his tractor so everyone had a blast sledding and snowboarding.

Christmas Morning

Happy Holidays!

So much has happened in the last couple of months! Josh and I moved, so its taken a while to get settled in. We found a cute apartment in Saratoga Springs that we love. Its close to both of our families, school, and work. so we really like the location! I got a job working from home, that I am so excited about! We feel so blessed that I will be able to stay home with our baby and work. Josh will be starting school at UVU in January. He will be going full time, so he will be really busy! He is working towards getting his bachelors in Criminal Justice. Then he will apply to law school. He is so excited, and I am so proud of him for working so hard!

Josh and I were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple on December 4th. It was such an amazing day! We have been waiting so long and are so happy we could finally go through the temple together. It was so nice to have our family there, thanks for all your love and support!

I had two baby showers in November, it was so fun to see family and friends. Both of the showers were so fun, thank you to everyone who helped! We are ready to have this baby! These last two weeks are so tough.. I went into emergency labor and delivery on my 21st birthday because of some complications, but everything turned out fine! Then I actually went into labor two days ago, but they gave me a shot to calm my contractions because I wasn't progressing quick enough. So I got a taste of what this will feel like and I'm pretty scared.. 3 hours of painful contractions and thats all I need! My Dr said he thought I would have called him later that night, but the contractions calmed down a lot. So we were kinda disappointed after going through all the excitment! I am sooo uncomfortable so I can't wait till she comes. My Dr said he didn't think I'd make it to my next appointment ( On Wednesday ) But ya never know! Cross your fingers!

Trick or Treat!

For Halloween this year Josh and I decided we wanted to dress up and take my nieces and nephews out trick or treating. Josh is a bounty hunter and I am some kind of nerdy hippie (whatever would fit over my big belly!) The kids looked so cute in their costumes and got so much candy! It was so much fun, and we can't wait to take our little girl next year!

Halloween Fun!

Over the weekend Cari and her family came to Springville and we decided to go to the pumpkin patch! The kids were so excited to pick out their own pumpkin, it was so cute! Josh and I had so much fun spending time with family and making a mess!



The pumpkin my nephew Kaden, Danny, and my Dad carved! They did an awesome job!

Our 1 Year Anniversary

For our 1 year anniversary Josh and I went to Park City for 3 days. We had so much fun together! We went to the Park City Mountain Resort and raced each other on the Alpine slide, shopping at the outlets, on an early morning hike, and to dinner. We were able to get a 1 bedroom suite so we had fun swimming and just hanging out in our room! He made me my favorite dinner one of the nights, it was so cute he wouldn't let me help at all! I was slightly nervous, but it was so good! Thanks Josh for the best year of my life and the fun weekend, I love you!

Wedding Day

1)What date is your anniversary?
September 28th, 2007


2)Where did you get married?
The Coloniel House in Lehi, UT


3) Who proposed and how?
Josh told me we were going to The Roof for his sisters welcome home dinner. About half way through the dinner the waitress brings ME out roses! I felt a little akward at first because I didn't want to take the spot light off of Jessie.. So then I notice that his whole family is staring at me with huge smiles on their faces and I knew something was going on. Another waitress brought me out a silver platter with roses, chocolate covered strawberries, and the ring in the middle. Then he got down on one knee and proposed! It was so cute!


4)How long were you engaged?
A month and a half


5)What was your favorite part of your wedding day?(and it can't be your husband)
Well the ceremony, but our wedding line was hilarious.. We still laugh about it with our friends.


6) What would you change if you could?
My wedding cake! It was horrible.. My mom even said well what else can you do but laugh! Then my nieces and nephews made it even better by poking their fingers in it :) at least it tasted good!


7) Wedding colors?
Pink and Brown


8) Remember anything special about your wedding ceremony?
I really can't remember anything except looking at Josh and feeling so nervous, but so excited at the same time! Luckily my Mom recorded it.


9) Were you clean or messy when your cut your cake?
Haha messy! It was fun, until Josh got frosting on my dress!


10) Where did you go on your honeymoon?
7 day cruise to Mexico!



Our room had a fun little balcony, at night we would go sit outside and listen to the elk. They were so loud!






The amazing dinner Josh made me!

Park City is gorgeous! We couldn't get over the mountains and their color!



Haha Josh getting ready to go down the Alpine Slide. I smoked him ;)

Summer Fun Continued...

Josh and I were so excited to go to the ultrasound! It was the most amazing thing we have ever seen. We loved every minute of it! She was being a little stubborn, so the pictures aren't that great, but I wanted to put some up anyway. I am just starting to show, being pregnant is a fun experience! Especially now that the morning sickness and headaches are gone. She has been kicking a lot and Josh was so excited to feel her for the first time!

All the boys in my family LOVE to paintball, so Josh and Danny built a course on the mountain behind our house. They worked so hard all weekend and I think it turned out great! It looks like so much fun, but you'll never catch me out there! I'll post more pictures of their welts and bruises..

We went to Cedar City for Josh's best friend Tylers wedding. And the week after that Josh's sister Jessie got married! It was so much fun to be able to be there for their special day. Congratulations!

Josh and I will be getting sealed in the Salt Lake temple towards the end of September! We are so excited, and would love to have family and friends there.
