August 2011

I love my Sunday naps with my baby. Life does not get much better than this.

Me and my girls!

My beautiful baby girl, three months old!

J.J. got to pick out a new bike after earning a jar full of warm fuzzy's for going to bed like a big boy! ( he has been not wanting to lately so we had to do this to get into a better habit!) He loves his bike and wants to ride it all the time.

He loves his sister!

Sisters!

These two could bathe all day everyday.

Working Out

August 2011

These two love to play on the treadmill and act like they are working out! J.J. always says "Mommy, I need a little treadmill for me." Ha, what a silly boy.

Potty Training

2011-11-21T13:54:00.000-08:00

August 2011

Bailey kept climbing up onto the toilet as you can see in the picture, so I decided I would try to potty train her. She caught on great and did really well. She had a hard time learning to go number two on the toilet, but we finally got that down too! I got sick of waking up in the middle of the night to take her to the bathroom, because I was already getting up with Addi every few hours, so we have gone to pull ups at night. ( I never did the whole pull up thing with J.J. He only had a few accidents, then learned how to hold it through the night.) When Addi starts sleeping better, maybe then we will try and get the night thing down!

Bailey at 22 months.

Proud of her princess panties.

5K

2011-11-21T13:48:00.001-08:00

July 30th, 2011

Heather and I ran a 5k run. It was great to be able to have a goal to try and get back into shape after having a baby! It was a lot of fun to run this with Heather, and hopefully can run another sooner than later!

Twenty Fourth of July

2011-11-21T13:18:00.000-08:00

We look forward to the fourth of July every year. This year we took the kids to the carnival and the absolutely loved it! (Unlike last year, J.J. just cried!) They were begging to ride more and more. I love that they have cousins their age to enjoy all the festivities with. We also walked to the booths, and up main street to the shops. We had a ton of fun and got some fun stuff.

Notice all of the kids have their arms in the air. They think they are so big and brave!

We also went to the parade. The kids were quite bummed out that nobody was throwing candy this year. Thank goodness Mimi and papa had heard that they would not be throwing out candy and brought some of their own to throw to the kids. It was so fun to see the kids really enjoy the parade and get excited.

That afternoon we let the kids play in the pool and had a barbecue. Then ended the night going to the rodeo. To bad the weather was not the greatest. We spent about fourty five minutes sitting inside waiting for the rain to pass because the little baby could not be in the cold. Thank goodness for Brandon and Heidi for coming and saving Addi so that I could enjoy the rest of the rodeo. We had a great day.

SUMMER FUN!

2011-11-21T12:47:00.000-08:00

We have spent a ton of time in my parents backyard this summer. We have ran through the sprinkler, played in the awesome pirate ship pool aunt Heather got, played in the play house, rode bikes, picked lots of raspberries and strawberries, played in the dirt and helped papa mow the lawn! The kids LOVE being able to just run around. I can not wait till I have a big yard likes theirs one day.

Papa's girl. This girl absolutely loves and adores her papa. Every time we go to my parents house he is pretty much the first one she has to run and see, and I know he loves her too!!

CHEESE!

Shooting the pirate gun!

The kids being Super Heros!!

July

My parents went to Disney World this summer and brought J.J. back this pirate outfit. Until now he has been afraid of it! Today, Bailey along with J.J. wanted to wear it! Of course though, she still has to have her baby in hand!

I can't believe this little girl is two months old! The time has flown by. She is starting to smile a lot. It just melts my heart every time I see her precious smile. She is extremely happy every morning when she wakes up. She is just full of smiles. I love it.

Bailey and J.J. absolutely love and adore Addi. Sometimes almost too much!! They love to kiss her and often ask to hold her.

Bailey loves to hold Addi, but Addi is not to sure about Bailey holding her.

J.J. also loves to hold his little sister. He has been such a good big brother. He is sooo sweet to her, and is constantly hugging and kissing her. He is always telling me how cute and precious she is. It completely melts my heart to see the sweet side of J.J. I know he is going to take such good care of his little sisters when they get older.

It makes me so sad to see how fast Addi is growing up. With each child it seems to go faster and faster as life just gets busier and busier. She looks so grown up in this picture to me. She is two months old here.

I told the kids to make funny faces and this is what I got! Aren't they just too cute! I can not get enough of them.

Blanding- July 4th, 2011

2011-11-17T15:20:00.000-08:00

It has become a tradition to go down to Blanding every year for the fourth of July. We look forward to going down and seeing all of the family that we never get to see. Blanding has a huge celebration for the fourth of July. They have a softball tournament, basketball tournament, fun run, parade, carnival, new swimming pool, and of course fireworks and music that night. Josh usually stays really busy when he goes down there because he participates in most of the events. This year, having a six week old I spent my time pretty much playing at the pool with the kids, napping with the kids, and going to bed with the kids! When you have a six week old you have to sleep when you can! We also have a nice family fireside on the Sunday. Josh was in charge of speaking this year and as always did an amazing job. He is a wonderful speaker, and we all felt the spirit very strongly.
J.J. and Izzy!

Bailey soaking up the sun.

Jerry and Addi.

Addi snoozing through the fireside.

Bailey stuffing her mouth full of candy because she thought daddy might take them from her and not let her eat them! She couldn't stuff them in fast enough. Too cute!

They Loved the carnival! J.J. didn't want to leave.

All of us together. Not the best picture ever, but hey we are all in it!

Priceless. Love this picture of daddy and his two little girls.

Mommy and her little snuggle bug. I love to cuddle this little girl. I simply can not get enough.

The Hogle Zoo!

2011-11-17T14:59:00.000-08:00

June 17th, 2011

We went to the Hogle Zoo for the first time in years. It was perfect weather, and the kids loved it. We rented a wagon and the kids were in heaven. We were so glad that Josh was able to come. We love when he gets Fridays off so he can spend time with our little family. You can tell I am still trying to get use to three kids, because I am still not very good at getting pictures of our adventures yet!

Swimming lessons!

2011-11-17T14:27:00.000-08:00

June 2011
I put the kids in a survivor swim class this year. J.J. did it last year but I was unable to go to any of them because I had just started my job and was in training so I was working everyday. So this year, I was so excited to be able to see the kids in action. Their teacher was the same teacher that I took swim lessons from when i was little! Both of the kids hated it for the first few days. J.J. would literally wake up and start crying saying he did not want to go to swimming lessons. Thank goodness by about the fourth day they both got use to it, and actually started enjoying it a little I think. The class basically teaches the kids how to flip over to their backs and float in case they were ever to fall into water. It was amazing to see their little bodies jump in the water, flip over and float all on their own. It was so cute and made me so proud at the same time!

The last day of their class they have to jump in with all of their winter clothes on so they know what it would feel like if that really happened to them.

I felt so bad for Bailey because she had the added extra weight of her diaper pulling her down. She did so good though and was able to flip over and float on her own. Definitely makes me feel a little more at ease for when they are around water.

Playing at the Park

2011-11-17T14:12:00.000-08:00

June 7th, 2011

We are loving the warm sunny weather we have been having and have been spending lots of our time at the park. Especially at the splash park in Spanish Fork.

I LOVE J.J's expression in this picture. I wish I could be a child again.

They both love swinging and have recently discovered the "under dog"! They beg for it every time they get on a swing! I totally remember having my parents do this to me when I was little.

I love this picture of the kids swinging spider style! They were having so much fun and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Blanding

2011-11-17T13:47:00.001-08:00

June 4th, 2011
We took a quick road trip to Blanding to see Josh's grandparent's. J.J. did extremely well during the ride. He is finally getting to the age where he understands he has to stay in his car seat, and also enjoys watching movies and looking for trains along the way. Bailey on the other hand was the wild child for the ride. She does not quite understand that she has to stay in her car seat, does not have a long enough attention span yet to watch a movie, and you can't rationalize with her yet. So the ride was not the best for her. Addi did great. Other than waking up to eat, she slept the entire time.

It was this little ladies first road trip! Bailey had to share her sunglasses with her little sister.

We got to stay in the round, pink room in the "castle house". The kids LoVeD it! That is usually all J.J. talks about before and after going to Blanding.

The girls and I did a lot of sleeping while the boys (Josh, J.J., and Johnny) went branding cows!

We also managed to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.

And like always got spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa Slavens.

We enjoyed our little get away, and always love getting to go see Grandma and Grandpa.

First Visit To The Dentist!

2011-11-16T15:09:00.000-08:00

June 2, 2011

J.J. and Bailey had their first visit to the dentist office. We took them to a pediatric dentist and for the most part they really liked it. They loved the waiting room. J.J. was so excited that there was a train table to play with, and Bailey loved looking out the submarine window.

J.J. did very well considering he has a really sensitive gag reflex. They were able to get most the x-rays they needed. He also did very well while they were cleaning his teeth and while the Dentist was looking at his teeth. I was so proud of how well he did, but not to proud to say that he had three cavities! No fun! I really do brush his teeth morning and night, but he still had cavaties.

Bailey was a little more scared, but she did let them do a quick little cleaning and let the Dentist look at her teeth as well.

We had to come back the next week to get J.J's cavities fixed. We decided that since he has such a sensitive gag reflex we would opt to sedate him a little. Well, lets just say he was a fighter. He fought the medicine they gave him and he was kicking and screaming. Good thing I am a nurse and am use to holding kids down when needed, because if not I probably would have had a little melt down. He fought us really hard until they turned on the gas and then he was able to relax. when he started coming out of the sedation and waking up once again he was a wild man. At that point I understood why they tell you to bring two adults to the appointment. Man, that was quite the experience. It took all my muscles and all the strength I had to put him in his car seat. I figured since the dentist was only about two minutes from my house he would be fine on the ride home. Boy was I wrong. He managed to kick and squeeze his way out of his car seat and make his way up to the drivers seat. As I am trying to drive, some how his pants and underwear came off as he got out of his car seat so he was sitting butt naked on my lap with his butt straight in the air kicking and screaming. I was just hoping and praying that we would make it home without seeing a cop or anyone I knew. When we pulled up to the house and my mom and my sister came out they were wondering what in the world was going on. Poor thing did not know what was going on or what he wanted. It was quite the experience and I hope that we won't have to do that again any time soon!

Addi's Two week check up- May 27th, 2011.

2011-11-16T13:52:00.000-08:00

Addi had her two week check up, and is growing great. She also had to go into the Dr's. because she had a nasty eye infection that was not going away. It was just getting worse. So she had to get on antibiotic eye drops and come back and see the Dr. two days later. The eye drops worked great. In just a few days her eye was looking much better. Thank goodness, because I did not have to worry about any major problems coming from it.

2011-11-15T17:40:00.000-08:00

MAY- 2011
I am so blessed to have three healthy kids. Here are a few of some of the cute pics I have got recently.

Bailey is in the stage where she loves sunglasses. She will wear them all day and all night. She even looks pretty cute in them! This is how I found her one morning. Sippy cup, blanket, and sunglasses. What more could a girl need?

Bailey also loves to wear her brothers underwear! She love to put it on and dance around. Lets hope this means potty training will be in the near future!

My little show off! He is loving trains right now, and wants to wear his Thomas the Train pajamas every night. Thanks Aunt Sarah. Those were the best surprise any little boy could ask for.

Miss Addi is ten days old in this picture. Life can be exhausting when all you do is eat, sleep, and poop!

Addi- one week old.

Addison Leigh Redd

2011-11-15T13:53:00.000-08:00

These pictures were taken six days after Addi was born. I think they turned out so cute. She is a beautiful baby. I could just sit and kiss her all the time.

Five Days Old- Finally starting to wake up a little.

Addison Leigh Redd:

Born May 15th 2011 at 1:53am
7 pounds 2 ounces
20 inches long.

lots of dark brown hair. Cute as can be.

Labor story: I started having contractions on Friday the 13th. I thought for sure I would have the baby since my past two pregnancies the day I started having contractions I had the baby. I never had braxton hicks contractions before. So, my sister and I went on a good walk and my contractions continued. I went home and got in the shower waiting for them to get stronger and more frequent then every few minutes, but they stayed the same. I decided since it was getting late I would lay down and try to get some rest incase I did continue to have contractions, but to my disappointment when I laid down they stopped. So, I woke up Saturday morning and again the contractions started. I didn't want to get too excited because of what happened the day before so I just kept waiting. All of the sudden my contractions started hurting really bad. Because of how my labor went with Bailey I decided if the contractions got really bad I would go into the hospital because I did not want to deliver a baby in the car or at home. To my disappointment again when I arrived at the hospital I was only dilated to a 3. What? I had been dilated to a three since I was 36 weeks. I was so disappointed and mad. I wanted this labor to go as fast as Baileys and was expecting it to since it was my third. Then when they checked me again an hour later I was barely a four. I talked the nurse into stripping my membranes to try and help me along because at this point I was still trying to do it naturally with no epidural. she stripped my membranes and by time they checked me again I was at a five. I was moving along but a lot slower than I wanted too. I started walking the halls to try and get my labor to speed up, but it was just intensifying the contractions and wearing me out. After pacing the halls for at least an hour maybe two. I then decided since I was not progressing how I wanted to that I would have the Dr. strip my membranes still before getting my epidural because I still wanted to go natural if my body decided to go fast. They stripped my membranes and I still was dilating very slowly and my contractions were getting worse and I was getting tired so I decided to get an epidural. Once I got my epidural and my body relaxed I started dilating quickly. I hate how you feel when you get the epidural and you can't feel anything. I start feeling really anxious and like I can't breath so I always end up on oxygen! No fun. Thanks to Josh, my mom, and sister for rubbing my back, holding my hand , and taking my mind off of things we made it through. Once it was time for me to start pushing Addi was posterior so the Dr. had to manually turn her and then things went great. We think that is why she was not wanting to drop and why I was not dilating. When I finally was able to see her and hold her in my arms it was all worth it. It was love at first sight. She has been such a joy to our family. J.J. and Bailey absolutely love her. J.J. is so sweet and tender with her. Such a good big brother. It is so fun to have a little tiny baby in the house again to snuggle and love on. I don't think there is anything better. It's a little taste of heaven on earth.

These pictures were taken the day after Addi was born, in the hospital.

Getting all ready to go home. I always forget how little they look in the big carseats. Is this even safe?!

Maternity Pictures April 2011

2011-11-15T13:26:00.000-08:00

Heather was kind enough to take time out of her busy schedule to take some maternity pictures before this sweet little girl comes. I also wanted to get some pictures of J.J. and Bailey since it has been a while. So here I am at 36 weeks ready for this bundle of joy to get here!
Bailey 18 Months

JJ 3 years

Bailey was not in the mood for pictures! We were lucky enough to get a few cute pictures.

I love this picture. Bailey never sucks her thumb or cuddles. I was enjoying this moment when she was doing both. I think she knows she is not going to be the baby for much longer!

They love feeling my tummy and feeling the baby kick. J.J. is especially excited for his baby sister to get here. Bailey on the other hand does not really understand.

Thanks again Heather. You did a great job!

Priceless

2010-09-09T20:16:00.001-07:00

I came home from work the other night to this....

and this...

Need I say more? I thought this picture of J.J. and Josh was just priceless. I saw them holding hands and had to grab the camera.

On another note, Bailey and J.J. are starting to become little buddies now that Bailey is able to get around a little better and interacting more. It is so fun to see them play together. Even though J.J. still likes to pick on Bailey, they sure do love each other. They are going to be best buds!

J.J.'s first day of preschool

2010-09-09T19:54:00.000-07:00

J.J. went to his first real day of preschool last Friday. He was so excited he could hardly stand it. He looked so cute all ready for school with his back pack on.

His teacher Mrs. Redd (AKA Granny)!! J.J. is so lucky that he gets his Granny for his preschool teacher. Josh's mom runs a preschool out of her basement called The Little Redd School House. This makes it so much easier and funner for J.J. He also has his cousin Chase in his class who he absolutely loves and adores.

J.J. hanging up his backpack for the first time! SO CUTE!!

He was so excited for his name tag and for class to start, but not to excited about mom taking a million pictures!!

Each child was asked to bring five things to help everyone get to know them better. Here they are looking at everything J.J. brought.

It was so fun to see J.J. so excited for school, but a little sad for me to see that he really is growing up. I never thought this day would come that I would be taking my child to preschool. I wish I could freeze time right now. He is at such a fun age. He is learning so much, discovering new things, and becoming his own little person. J.J. I love you!

Thanksgiving Point Petting Zoo

2010-09-02T16:21:00.000-07:00

We have had such a fun summer, and have really enjoyed the nice warm weather outside. We took the kids to the Thanksgiving Point Petting Zoo and they loved it. J.J. Loves to see the animals and try and make the all the noises they make. Bailey loved to see all the animals too and she loved the pony ride. J.J. was a little nervous at first to ride the pony, but after seeing all his little cousins do it he decided it would be fun.

This kid is all boy! He loves to run, climb, jump, and get dirty. He has so much energy. He is always keeping me on my toes.

She is all Smiles!!

2010-09-02T16:03:00.000-07:00

Bailey is now almost eleven months old! Where did all the time go? She is the sweetest baby you will ever meet. She is always smiling and is always happy. I do not know how I got so lucky to be blessed with such a little angel. She truly is the best little girl ever. She is very quiet and very calm and always has a big smile on her face. I just love her smiles and had to show them off. Whenever she smiles you get this huge cheezer that can just put a smile on anyones face. I love you Bailey Grace.

I can not believe how big my little girl is getting. She can now climb the stairs and thinks she is pretty hot cool.

This past week she has also started to stand and balance all by herself! She has been standing with the support of something for a while now, but she can now stand up all by herself and balance and take about one step before she falls. It is so exciting to see your kids grow and meet each new milestone, but at the same time it is so sad. She is suppose to be my little baby and she is growing up right before my eyes way to fast. I wish I could just freeze time and make them stay little forever.

My first half Marathon

2010-09-02T15:03:00.001-07:00

My sister in law Tavah talked me into running the provo half marathon in August. I had been wanting to do something like this for a while, but never was brave enough to. It was so fun to have a goal to do something and then actually accomplish it! Thanks Tavah for running with me. It was a blast. I can't believe I actually made it to the end. Josh and Brandon and the kids came to support us at about mile seven and eleven. It was so nice and gave us so much more energy when we saw them. Then at the end of the race my parents and my brother and sister in law were waiting. It was so nice. When I thought I could not run anymore, I spotted all our fans and instantly I was reenergized to finish the race. My final time was two hours and six minutes which I was very proud of for my very first race.

Twenty Fourth of July- FIESTA DAYS

2010-09-02T15:02:00.002-07:00

We always look forward to the Twenty Fourth of July and the Fiesta days rodeo. This year we started the day off with going to the parade. The kids loved it and loved running after all the candy. Then, as usual the guys all ditched us and went golfing. After the parade the girls and kids made our way down to all the booths to do a little shopping, and then took the kids to the carnival to ride some rides. I was so glad that this year J.J. actually enjoyed most of the rides instead of being scared of them all like last year. After the carnival the kiddos were exhausted and so we headed home for some naps. That night we went to the rodeo where Josh was treating all the Cowboys so we were able to get free tickets! It was a great fun filled day as usual.

Fourth of July in Blanding

2010-09-02T15:02:00.001-07:00

Every year Josh's family all gets together in Blanding for the Fourth of July. The city puts on a huge celebration with a parade, a bunch of different sports tournaments, a carnival for the kids, a firework show, and much much more. Josh and I have not been able to go for a couple of years since we have been in Texas going to school. We were definately excited to finally go back down to Blanding. We always have a good time. All the grandkids love to play together at grandma's house.

This trip we actually decided to take a hike up to Bears Ears where Josh's uncle Johnny had placed a time capsule many years ago. We decided we would hike up and dig up the time capsule and see what was in it. We took J.J. and at the last minute we decided to leave Bailey at the bottom of the mountain with Grandpa Slavens. We soon found out that that was a very good idea considering the hike was a much more difficult hike than originally estimated! We had a great hike even though Josh had to carry J.J. the majority of the time.

On the way back we decided to stop at Bridges National Park. It was pretty amazing and we were surprised we had never been in all our trips to Blanding. It was Beautiful and we will definitely be making another trip there the next time we go to Blanding.

J.J. was completely exhausted after the long hike, and visit to Bridges! He was sound asleep after about three minutes of being in the car! What a hard life.

On our way out of town the boys decided that the trio would not be complete if they did not go jump in the lake in there speedo/underwear!! If you know the Slavens you know they are all crazy and always up for a fun time! So all the boys jumped in the water. It was pretty chilly, but J.J. did not want to miss out on the action and had to jump right in after his dad. I love these boys.

2010-09-02T14:58:00.002-07:00

December 2009
This little boy loves to wear little dress up shoes and high heels everywhere! Josh hates when I take pictures of it, but I think it will be great for when he gets older!! What a funny boy.

Best buds- Once again notice the high heels!

We decided to spend the day at Gardner Village. It was the first time I had ever been. It was decorated so cute for Christmas. Unfortunately this was the only picture I got because I was trying to keep little Bailey Boo warm!

Bentley, Mimi, and J.J.

Can you tell I tell this kid to be quiet a lot? He thinks he needs to tell us to be quiet because his sister is sleeping!

Bailey looking like a sweet angel.

This little monster has started to test his mommy. So yes, we have started putting him in time out. As much as I hate punishing him, I sure think he looks pretty cute sitting in his time out chair!

I love this picture! So exhausted I didn't even bother taking his shoes or coat off.

November 2009
For Thanksgiving we loaded up the two kids and drove to Kansas to spend the Holiday with Josh's family. Other than Bailey wanting to eat all the time, the kids did very well on the long drive. We stayed at Gary and Janes house and had a wonderful time. The boys played a lot of nintendo, played basketball, and watched football. We had lots of delicious food, and great company. After Thanksgiving I had to say goodbye to josh (tear!). I flew home with Beverly and the two kids to go back to Utah, while Josh had to go back to Texas to finish up school and all his finals. Thanks again to great family that helped me out during this time without Josh. I couldn't have done it without all of you.

Beverly meeting Bailey for the first time

Grandpa Slavens and Bailey taking a nap together. Precious.

J.J. all bundled up to play outside in the freezing cold with the big boys!

Halloween 2009

2010-09-02T14:58:00.001-07:00

We had a great Halloween. J.J. was not to sure about his costume at first, but he warmed up to it after a while. My mom was nice enough to stay at home with Bailey since she was only about two and a half weeks old, and we met up with a bunch of our friends for a get together and then some trick-or-treating! The kids loved getting all the candy, and by the end of the night they had the routine down of knocking on the door, saying trick-or-treat, and then picking some candy.
Bailey was a tiger for her very first Halloween, and J.J. was Pluto.

Don't they all look so cute! They were all exhausted by the end of the night, but were loving all the candy they had got.

Happy Valentines Day!!

2010-02-14T09:59:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentines Day to the best husband and father anyone could ask for. I feel so blessed to be married to my best friend. Thanks for all you do for me and our little family. I am the luckiest girl to have you in my life. Hope you have a wonderful valentines day. Love your little family

Brock and Chantell and my Dad all drove down to see us and meet Bailey for the first time. My mom not only was great for coming and spending a few weeks with us, but her and I also packed up our entire house by ourselves. Josh lucked out that he was out of town with his school for a basketball tournament. Then my awesome brother and dad loaded it all up into the moving truck. Thank you so much for your help. I have such wonderful family. Mimi with Bailey, Brightyn, and J.J.

Dad meeting and holding Bailey for the first time. Love this picture.

I love this little boy to pieces. Doesn't he look so sweet?

More pics of my sweet angel.

Exhausted from a long day with Mom and Mimi.

Still his crazy self with all of his energy. Oh how I love this boy.

Love dressing this little girl up.

J.J.'s favorite thing to do lately is play in the rain or jump in puddles!! Yes, he is a 100% boy! He gets so excited when his daddy comes home so he can rough house a little and get out of the house!

You know you just had a baby when. . . . .

2010-01-09T13:49:00.000-08:00

Your son likes to play with your breast pump stuff!!

You place your child infront of the t.v. so you can feed the baby and get stuff done. Notice he is watching Mickey Mouse, with his favorite stuffed animal Mickey!! Does this make me a bad mom??!!

2010-01-09T13:27:00.000-08:00

I know this is an overload of pictures but I wanted to have all my pictures of my little princess together. My friend took all these and they turned out so cute! I love them. Bailey was so good and such a little angel the entire time. She slept almost the entire time except for the couple of times she decided to pee and poo!! Yes, she did that more than once. She is ten days old in these pictures and just as cute as can be.

Bringing Bailey Home!

2009-11-14T12:22:00.000-08:00

Bailey all dressed and ready to go home! Doesn't she look cute with her bow! I am so excited to dress this little girl up in bows and bracelets! Especially with all the wild and crazy hair she has. None of the pictures really show how much hair she has and how wild and crazy it can get.

I forget how small the babies are and especially how small they look in their carseats! Bailey hated the carseat until we started driving and then she cashed out.

Reuniting with brother. He seems to like her here. Don't let him fool you! It has taken some time to get JJ use to his little sister. We went through the jealousy stage, the tantrum throwing stage, and acting like he is being so kind to her only to catch him seconds later slapping, pinching, hitting, or stepping on her! I think he is finally starting to like her and realize she is here for good. Every morning when he wakes up he asks "where's baby?" It is so cute. He loves to say Hi to her, give her kisses, and laugh with her. (Even though she is not laughing!) I can't wait for her to get a little older so they can play together. I think they will be the bestest friends!

First Bath/Meeting Mimi

2009-11-14T09:21:00.000-08:00

Bailey's first bath. She doesn't seem to be liking it too much!

Awww that feels good!

All cleaned up and looking pretty!

Proud parents!

Meeting Mimi for the first time! Mimi arrived about four hours after Bailey was born. If only she had waited a few hours to come into this world!! I guess she already knows who is the boss!

Ready for baby Bailey, who would've guessed I was dilated to a nine?

Mommy and Bailey

Daddy and his little girl

Wow!! It's been a while since I have updated. I guess thats what happens when you have a baby! I will start with my labor story since I want to remember it. Sunday October 11 I went to church feeling fine. During sacrament meeting I had a few contractions, but nothing major. I started getting excited thinking maybe they would continue, but did not want to get my hopes up! I then went on to the next two meetings during which I teach the Sunbeams class. I had a few more, but still thought nothing of it. When church was over I came home and started feeding JJ lunch. It seemed as if all the sudden my contractions started to become regular and a little more uncomfortable. At that point I seriously started thinking that my little girl could be coming soon, but still did not want to get my hopes up. I put JJ down for a nap and then went and tried to take a nap myself incase I did go into labor I would be well rested. Well, my nap did not last for too long because I was trying to keep track of how far apart my contractions were, and they were uncomfortable enough I could not fall asleep! I decided I would get up and pack a hospital bag since the last time I went into labor I only brought a few needed items to the hospital because I really thought they would just send me home. I started packing my hospital bag and at that point I realized that I really was in labor and that the contractions were not going to stop. I called my mom to let her know and was a little disappointed because my mom was flying in the next day and I really wanted her to be here. She immediately called the airport and got on the first flight she could. I was so excited thinking my mom would fly in and then at that point I would be ready to deliver. Little did I know that would not be happening. After packing my bag I called my friend to see if JJ could go over to her house, and if needed spend the night. Good thing I have such good friends out here. I then continued to try and put off going to the hospital, because I did not want to have to just sit in my hospital bed and wait for the baby to come. So being the clean freak I am I decided I would straighten up the house before leaving. I just hate coming home to a messy house, so I knew I better make sure it was clean. It had now been about two hours since I had been having good regular contractions so I decided we better start heading to the hospital. We woke JJ up from his nap, packed up the car, and took JJ over to my friend Amber's house. I was a little sad leaving JJ knowing that when we came home he would have a little sister, and his whole life was going to change. He would no longer be getting all of our attention. We then had to make a mandatory stop at Panda Express for Josh so he would have the strength and energy to get through the labor!! Ha ha. I had no interest in eating, but last time josh was starving so he thought he would be prepared this time. On our way to the hospital my contractions started coming even closer together and getting more uncomfortable, but I still was thinking I would not deliver for a while. We got to the hospital and did all the routine stuff. Since I didn't seem to be in to much pain, the nurses nor I were in a hurry to check and see how far dilated I was. After getting all checked in and filling out all the necessary paperwork they decided they would check me to see how far along I was. The nurse I had had been working in labor and delivery for about ten years so she knew what she was doing. When she checked me she was having a hard time finding my cervix. Much to her surprise it was because I was almost completely dilated. She was so surprised she thought I was dilated to 8 1/2 or 9. Since I was not in too much pain she thought she would have another nurse check to make sure before calling the doctor in to deliver the baby. The other nurse came in and checked me and yes, I was dilated to a 9. I was completely shocked!! How was I dilated to a 9? I was worried I would get to the hospital and they would send me home!! So I immediately told them to call the anesthesia doctor so that he could hurry and place my epidural. They tried to in a round about way tell me I would not have time for an epidural, and when I finally realized that I was not going to get an epidural I started feeling a little anxious and not to sure if I could deliver this baby. I always thought that in order to go all natural and not have an epidural you had to prepare. Wow was I wrong. I guess when you have no choice you have to do what you have to do. I then also realized that my mom was still not going to make it to this delivery even though she was already on her way. The rest of the delivery was very fast. I had great nurses and doctor and husband that were great at talking me through it and helping me breath. They were also good at cheering me on when I did not want to push anymore because of the pain! I luckily only had to push for about four sets of contractions until Bailey made her way into the world. When she finally came out it was the best feeling of relief and accomplishment. I finally got to meet my baby girl and hold her in my arms. What a wonderful and touching moment. All the scares she put us through and to finally have her here and completely healthy was such a blessing and miracle. I am so grateful that I have been blessed to have two healthy children and have been trusted to be their mother.

Maternity Pictures

2009-10-04T18:46:00.001-07:00

Last time I was pregnant I did not take any maternity pictures because I felt fat! After being pregnant and looking back I was so sad that I didn't have any pictures to remember so this time I decided I had to. Although it is never fun to take pictures while you are prego and see yourself bigger than normal, I knew I would regret it if I didn't so I had my good friend and babysitter take a few for me. I think she did such a good job, and am glad this time I will have some to remember. So here I am at 36 weeks pregnant. Thanks so much Amber. You are the best!

We are counting down the days until we get to meet our little angel. I had my last ultrasound last week and she is head down which was very good news for us. The baby looks good, but she is only measuring in the 25th percentile. How is it that they say the baby only weighs about 5lbs 5ounces, but yet I have gained a whole heck of a lot more weight then that??!! So not fair. Anyways,I was not dilated at all which was a little disappointing because with JJ I was at this point. I have a feeling that since this whole pregnancy I have been assuming she is going to come early (because JJ came two weeks early) that she is going to stay in there and cook until she has to come out! I guess you never know and we will just wait and see.

Playing with the hose!

2009-10-04T18:35:00.000-07:00

I came home the other day from a primary activity to find my boys cleaning the garage and playing with the hose!! Now I know why JJ loves his daddy so much, because he lets him do all the fun stuff! JJ was absolutely loving playing in the water and getting wet. He thought it was even cooler when Josh showed him how to spray mommy and get her wet! Oh how I love my boys.
Say CHEESE!!

Aiming for mommy!

Thinking he is so funny getting mommy wet!

Still trying to aim at mommy and get her wet!

Nursery

2009-10-04T18:17:00.000-07:00

JJ went to nursery for the first time a couple weeks ago. He was a little hesitant walking into the room, and kept trying to pull my hand so we could leave the room. As soon as they pulled out the play dough he was very intrigued and I snuck out while I could. When I checked back on him about five minutes later he was crying:( I felt so bad, but knew that If I went back in it would only get worse, so I left him. His teachers said he only cried for a couple of minutes and then was fine. Josh and I are so glad that he is finally old enough to go to nursery so we can actually attend and teach our classes. Although, it is not going to last long since our little princess is going to be here very shortly!!

My handsome boys before church!

JJ's first artwork from church. So cute! Notice how he is smiling and cheesing for the camera. Looks like he is wide awake.

About sixty seconds after the last picture he was completely out! Man, nursery must have just worn him out. I was trying with all my might to keep him awake so I could just lay him down when we got home but nothing was keeping him awake. It only takes us a couple minutes to get home from church and he was just cashed out by time got home!!

Great Shot!

2009-10-03T14:46:00.000-07:00

He was making a bunch of these so Josh ran and got the Video camara and this happened.

Do not attempt this at home even with adult super-vision! :)

Grandma Redd

2009-09-12T20:16:00.000-07:00

Grandma Redd came to visit in July. We sure loved having her here. She took care of us and spoiled JJ as usual!! I did not get very many pictures while she was here, but I did get this cute one.

We were flying home to Utah for the 24th of July so Grandma took JJ home to Utah a couple days before Josh and I went home so he could spend some time with all the family in Utah since he doesn't get to see any of them very often. He got spoiled way to much by everyone and was sad to come back home with his boring mom and dad.

While at Grandma Redd's JJ loved playing outside in her back yard, playing on the swing set, eating popsicles, jumping on the tramp, going to Chuck E Cheeses, playing on the tramp and most of all getting spoiled by grandma!

Fourth of July!!

2009-09-12T19:44:00.000-07:00

We had a fun fourth of July weekend. On friday we had a barbeque at our house with a few friends and then set off some little fireworks for the kids. JJ was not to sure about the party confetti ones, but enjoyed the sparklers and the spinners! On saturday we started off the day going to our ward breakfast, then to the coppell parade with some friends from the ward. This was JJ's first parade and he really enjoyed it! I think it was because they threw out so much candy! He was on a sugar high by time we were done with the parade.

Waiting for and watching the fireworks! I love this boy.

JJ loved the sparklers for the short second he got to play with it!! We found out that it wasn't a very good idea to let toddlers try and do sparklers!! We almost found out the hard way. Luckily nobody got hurt:)

Helping daddy with the fireworks!

RANDOMNESS!

2009-09-12T19:29:00.000-07:00

My handsome boy is getting so grown up! Isn't he just the cutest thing you have ever seen!

We decided to have a little campout one night in our living room. JJ loved playing in the tent, jumping on the mattress, and of course all the goodies we had! JJ was enjoying the tent so much that it ended up staying set up for a couple of days until I could not stand it anymore!

Mmmmm... Spaghettios!! One of JJ's favorite things to eat, and also one of his first times eating it. As you can see he is making a complete mess, but man he sure was enjoying it!

JJ is learning early!! I don't really know if this is a good thing, but they really enjoyed the father son bonding:) I love that JJ loves his daddy so much. Whenever Josh gets home from school JJ gets this huge smile on his face and runs into his daddy's arms. Poor Josh, he never gets a break and can't ever enjoy dinner because his son wants all of his attention. Josh is such a good dad and plays and adores JJ. I love to watch him in action because he is the best dad anyone could ask for.

Babies!

2009-09-12T19:21:00.001-07:00

For my memory!! Brock and Chan had their baby Brightyn May 30th. She is a precious little angel and it makes me so excited to welcome my little angel into this world. It is so fun to have family members that have kids around the same age. It is going to be so fun when all the little kiddos get a little older and can play together.

Jeremy and Sarah had their baby Crew May 18th. What a cutie he is. We have yet to meet him since they live in Singapore, but can't wait to. We are all going threw withdrawls here, but love to see pictures.

Mom comes to visit!

2009-09-12T18:49:00.000-07:00

My mom came to visit in May before she headed down to Brock and Chan's to see the newest arrival of the family Brightyn. We always love when mom comes to town. It means home made meals, clean house, help with JJ, and wonderful company. We had lots of fun. We went swimming, shopping, went to the zoo again, and as always got much needed pedicures. I didn't get very many pictures but here are a few that I did get.

JJ has become quite the little fish since he has gotten use to his floaty. He seems like such a big boy when he is in the pool and just floating around by himself. He sure is growing up fast.

There was a little birthday party going on one day when we were at the pool. They were nice enough to share an extra cupcake with JJ and he inhaled it!! He had blue frosting all over. Oh and don't worry that his poop was blue the next day as well! Haha.

I think he enjoyed the zoo even more this time around. He was pointing to all of the animals and saying his favorite line "whats that?" By the end of the day he was completely wiped out and passed out in the car within minutes.

Fort Worth Zoo

2009-09-12T18:23:00.000-07:00

I have been horrible at updating my blog, so I am going to try and catch up! Sorry this is so long ago, but this is more for my own memory! We took JJ to the zoo for the first time a couple months ago. He loved looking at all the animals, but was a little afraid of the gorillas!!

JJ Loved the elephants,

was very intrigued by the tiger,

but his absolute favorite was feeding the birds! There were so many birds flying around JJ was having the time of his life. Daddy did a good job teaching him how to get the birds to land on his stick.

p.s. JJ threw up all over his clothes on the way to the zoo. I was not prepared with an extra outfit and the only article of clothing that we could find was a onesie. Therefor JJ got to run around in a onesie all day, but it was probably a good thing since it was so HOT that day!

Our Trip Home

2009-08-24T20:41:00.000-07:00

Rockport Texas

2009-06-15T10:33:00.000-07:00

Well, we thought we had lost our camera, but little did we know it was just hiding in the car!! So to say the least I am really behind on blogging, so hopefully I can get caught up. In April during Josh's school break we took a much needed vacation to visit Brock and Chantell. We had so much fun. We went swimming, went to the beach, made a trip to corpus cristi, the boys went golfing, and we went on a helicopter ride over rockport with Brock. We had so much fun and always enjoy our time with Brock and Chan. Thanks for letting us crash at your place.

JJ loving his uncle Brock

We had so much fun on our helicopter ride. That was the biggest helicopter I had ever been on and it was pretty cool. I have no idea how anybody could fly one of those. Brock made it look like a piece of cake. I wasn't even scared to fly over the ocean! Thanks for the ride Brock we loved it!

The Beach

2009-06-15T10:29:00.000-07:00

JJ wasn't to sure about the beach and the ocean. Maybe because it was a little windy, or maybe it was because the seagulls were trying to attack us! Yes, it was hilarious. We were sitting there and JJ was holding a cracker in his little hand and the next thing he knows a seagull swoops down, hits him on the head, and steals his cracker from his hand. He had no idea what had just happened to him. We were laughing so hard.

The pool

2009-06-15T10:19:00.000-07:00

JJ was not to sure about swimming and the pool at first, but by the end of the trip he was starting to like it. We had so much fun soaking up the sun and just relaxing by the pool. To bad we all soaked up just a little bit to much sun and got FRIED!!

. . . . . and baby makes FOUR!

2009-04-19T18:39:00.000-07:00

That's right! If you have not already heard we are having another baby! We could not be more excited. I am about thirteen weeks along and due October 24th! We can not wait to have another little one and feel so blessed. Other than being a little nauseated and really tired I have been very lucky and have felt pretty good. We will keep you all updated on the little peanut!

Easter Fun!

2009-04-19T18:32:00.000-07:00

We had a great easter! Saturday we took Jr to his first Easter egg hunt. I don't think he had any idea what was going on, but he sure enjoyed all his candy and prizes he got. Sunday we had a great Easter dinner with some of our friends and enjoyed all the yummy food. We hope everyone had a great Easter!

Birthday Party

2009-04-19T18:21:00.000-07:00

Sorry so late! These are the rest of Jr's birthday pictures. We had so much fun with all our friends and all the little kiddos! Thanks everyone for coming and spoiling Jr, and thanks mom for making the cute cake.

Jr's Birthday

2009-03-23T17:50:00.000-07:00

Joshua Jr's birthday was in the middle of the week this year. Josh has been really busy with school lately, so we decided to celebrate at home with just our little family and then celebrate later with all our friends. We made cupcakes and got him a few small gifts since we knew we would be having a real party later. jr loved all his balloons, and had fun playing with them for weeks.(literally they lasted forever.) Although, I think his favorite present was the huge bag of dum dums his dad bought him! I think he even enjoyed them more then the cupcake that he devoured.

BiRtHdAy PiCtUrEs

2009-03-23T17:32:00.000-07:00

I had my wonderful babysitter do Jr's one year pictures! As usual they turned out sooo cute. I thought it would be cute to take him to the park and take some of him there, little did I know he would be way into all the little kids running around to even look at the camera! So needless to say we did not get many smiles out of him, but I still think he is the cutest thing ever. He was a little confused when we put the cake right in front of him. He looked at me like are you sure this is ok? It took him a little while to warm up to the idea that he could dig in and get dirty, but after a few minutes he was enjoying it!

Brits "Bubba Gump" Shrimp Challenge

2009-02-11T17:26:00.000-08:00

Warning All Women!! This is a male post. I Repeat, this is a male post!! So I told my poor wife that if she ate 1 little (it was pretty big actually haha) shrimp (which she absolutely hates) then I would give her 100 dollars to go buy this running stroller she has been wanting for a while and this is what happened. She told me I can't post this anywhere on the internet so don't tell her. LOL! While I'm here I just want to tell her that she is the most amazing wife and mother in the whole entire world. She takes such good care of her Josh's. Not to mention she is smoking hot too!! Holy Smokes I am the luckiest husband in the world!!! Thanks for all you do honey and if you are reading this you are probably really mad that I posted this so just take a few deep breaths and clear your mind before you come talk to me about it. Ha HA : ) Love you!!!

Eleven months old!

2009-02-09T09:59:00.000-08:00

My little baby is eleven months old! Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant. Now it is almost time for his first birthday! He is such a fun and cute little boy. He is getting so big, and has quite the little attitude. He loves to be busy all the time and loves to get into anything and everything.

Some of his favorite things are:
*Getting into the tupperware and lid drawer
*Playing with all of his many toys
*Playing and splashing in the tub
*Going for walks in his stroller
*His mom and dad

He still has six teeth. He pulls himself up and will walk with the help of anything he can find, but still has not taken his first steps alone! We love our little man so much and are so thankful that he our son.

First Trip Golfing

2009-02-09T09:52:00.001-08:00

Brock and Chan came up for the Super Bowl weekend. We had so much fun as usual. We watched movies, went shopping, the boys went golfing and we rode along on the cart. Jr loved driving the golf cart with aunt Chan and playing on the grass! We found out that Jr absolutely loves golf balls! Maybe we have a future golfer?! We also enjoyed watching the super bowl and enjoying some delicious food.

Wilson Christmas!

2009-01-17T19:26:00.000-08:00

We had so much fun with Jr. on his first Christmas. Can I just say he is one very loved and spoiled boy. Between both sets of grandparents, us, and santa he sure made a killing. He got lots of toys, some books, movies, and of course some christmas pajamas! He liked playing with the wrapping paper and bows and did not really understand the whole idea of unwrapping the presents!

We were lucky enough to have my whole family in town. We celebrated Christmas a couple days early because Brock and Chan had to head back to Texas early. We enjoyed my mom's cooking, opening presents, playing games and eating way to much food.

My parents neighbors had this cute little snowman so we could not pass up taking pictures of the little ones in front of it. (Don't mind my boots in the picture, they are my brothers. I did not think that I would be getting my picture taken!)

We were also fortunate enough to get the chance for Chad to take us for a helicopter ride. It was fun to get to see utah valley covered in snow. Good job Chad I didn't even get sick!

My mom and I made a quick trip up to Idaho so everyone up there could meet the baby for the first time. I especially wanted to see my great grandma Webb so she could meet Jr and we could get five generation pictures. Jr loved Grandmas dog and chased her around trying to give her kisses the entire time. although our trip to Idaho was short we enjoyed getting to visit with the family up there.

We also went tubing as a family and had a blast. I can not remember the last time I had been tubing or sledding so I was so excited. We really had a fun time and enjoyed dinner afterwards. Thanks mom and dad for everything.

We had such a good time in Utah for the holidays and enjoyed seeing everyone.

Redd Christmas

2009-01-17T18:56:00.000-08:00

This year we were able to go home to Utah for two weeks. Josh gets three weeks off for school and my work is nice enough to let me off each year at Christmas time. Having so much time we were able to spend a week with my family and a week with Josh's family. While with Josh's family Santa came to visit. Jr. absolutely LOVED santa. He would not leave him alone. He was pulling on all his bells, and trinckets, and really liked his beard. I was glad he liked santa and was not afraid of him. Hopefully next year it will be the same way.

We also went to a ton of movies. (Thanks to Bev who was nice enough to stay home and babysit Jr.) It was so nice to actually go out with my husband and just be with each other.

We also celebrated Brooklyn's fifth birthday! Wow, she is getting big. We went to Chuck-E-Cheese's and Jr. just loved it. He loved riding on all the rides with his cousin Chase and every time we would take him off he would throw a little fit because he wanted to go on it again. Yes, we are in big trouble. He has the biggest personality and He definatley lets you know what he wants.

We enjoyed spending time with Josh's family and seeing everyone. Although we did miss Jeremy, sarah, crew, Tiah, and Justin.

ICE!

2009-01-17T08:54:00.000-08:00

These are pictures from an ice exhibit that they put on every year in Texas. Everything you see is made of ice. It is so neat to see. They keep it at nine degrees so it is absolutely freezing in there. They give everyone parkas so that you can stay some what warm. They also tell you to keep your cameras close to you or else your batteries will freeze! Some other things that they have in there that I was not able to get pictures of because my battery died was a whole nativity scene, and an actual ice slide that you can slide down. The slide was actually funner than I thought it would be. The exhibit is quite pricy, but I think it is worth it and a fun thing to do during the holiday season. Maybe next year we will be able to bundle Jr. up enough so he can go see all the fun things!

Thanksgiving

2009-01-17T07:53:00.000-08:00

Josh and I both had a couple of days off for Thanksgiving, so we decided to pack up and head down to Brock and Chan's! We had so much fun. The baby did pretty well on the drive. The first couple hours he did really good, but by the fifth hour he was more then ready to get out of the car.

Chan and I had never cooked a turkey or been in charge of making a Thanksgiving dinner so we were both excited to get to do it together. Thanksgiving day we made up our menu and headed off to the grocery store to get all the needed items. We made a wonderful turkey, ham with a honey glaze, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cauliflower with velveeta cheese, pretzel jello, and for desert banana cream pie and cheese cake. Man did we have a lot of food for just the four of us. I must admit that i thought everything turned out wonderful and our wonderful husband only had good things to say about the meal.

Since we never really get a chance to relax, most of the trip was spent laying around watching t.v. and movies. We did however make it to the beach. The weather was wonderful and Josh Jr. loved his first time in the ocean. We can not wait to go down again so we can spend some more time at the beach and swimming in the ocean.

Some of the highlights of the trip:
Making a mess of Brock and Chan's spotless clean house! (Sorry Chan)
Jr. peeing on their brand new carpet! I guess he just wanted to break it in for their little one:)
Going to the beach.
Getting to see Brock's work.
Our thanksgiving dinner.
Our dinner by the ocean.

Thanks Brock and Chan for everything. We can't wait to come visit again.

Surprise Trip Home!

2008-12-06T17:52:00.001-08:00

A couple weeks ago we were lucky enough to get to go home. Josh's brother Jeremy and his wife Sarah moved to Singapore. Since we did not know when we would get a chance to see them again, we made a quick trip home to see them. It was so fun to be able to see everyone. Not many of our family members have seen Jr. since he was two months old, so everyone was so excited to see him.

We wanted to surprise everyone and not let them know we were coming, but Josh's family ended up all finding out. My family on the other hand had no idea. It was so fun to be able to surprise them all. When I walked into my Mom and Dad's house my Mom's face was priceless. Her jaw completely dropped, and you could tell she was so confused trying to figure out what was going on. It was a great surprise to be able to pull off.

Although our trip was way to short, we were so glad to be able to go and see everyone. Sorry to all those who we did not get a chance to see. We will be back for Christmas for a longer time and be able to see everyone then.

Josh Jr. absolutely loved playing with all his cousins. I can not wait until we move home because he is going to have so many playmates.

Jr's first Halloween!!

2008-11-09T16:29:00.000-08:00

Getting ready to go trick-or-treating!

All ready to go in his cute turtle costume. He was such a trooper and did not even cry once with his hat on. I thought for sure he would try and take it off as soon as I put it on, but he happily kept in on the entire time!

We took Jr. to a couple houses to show him off to some friends. We only visited a few houses and he managed to get a ton of candy! I guess they all could not resist how cute he was in his costume!

We decided to let him try his first piece of candy. What the heck Halloween only comes once a year! He had some licorice and just loved it. At first he was just sucking on it with drool running down his face but before we knew it he had bit a huge piece off! I had to hurry and pull it out of his mouth before he choked on it. I already know he is going to be addicted to candy just like his dad!

Jr. with all his goods after trick-or-treating. To bad he didn't get to enjoy any of that good candy.

We have made it a tradition every year to make caramel apples. This year the baby got to join in on the fun. The entire time he was just trying to grab the sticky apple and put it up to his mouth. What a cute boy he is!

Our little family and Leu. (For those of you who have never met or even heard of Leu he rents our basement room. He is from China and is a research doctor at Josh's school. His wife and child are still in China so we try and include him in some of our activities from time to time. Oh and he makes some awesome chinese food too!)

Our friends Lyndsey and Jeremy.

We had a great Halloween and look forward to many more fun ones to come.

The Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-25T15:19:00.001-07:00

We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday for Josh's class party. We had a lot of fun and had fun taking some cute pictures of Jr. Although he would not look or smile at the camera, we still managed to get some cute pictures of him. He loved looking around at everything going on and absolutely loved the hay ride. He stood up and held on to the side of the trailer the entire ride and looked out at everything. It was so cute.

After the pumpkin patch we dressed Jr. up in his Halloween costume and headed over to our ward Halloween party. I was planning on getting some pictures of him in his costume, but our camera died so we were unable to. So you will all have to stay posted until Halloween to see pictures of our cute little turtle!!

Congratulations Honey!

2008-10-24T13:47:00.000-07:00

Josh took his first set of National Chiropractic Boards about six weeks ago. We have patiently been waiting for his results and woke up bright and early to find them out. Sadly, they were not posted before I had to leave for work, but Josh called me as soon as he saw they were posted and read the good news so we could both find out together! He passed his first set and has three more to go. Way to go honey. I did not have any doubts that he would pass. He is a little smarty pants! Who would have ever guessed!! HaHa!! I love you. He is now one step closer to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic.

We are also excited because he is now half way done with school. We are officially on the down hill slope! It seems as if we just moved out to Texas and started school and now we are half way done. I am sure the rest of the time we are here in Texas will just fly on by.

Good job honey! I am so proud of you. You are amazing. I love you!

A day at the park!

2008-10-04T18:45:00.000-07:00

We took Jr. to the park the other day and he loved it. He enjoyed the swings and going down the slides with his dad. He loves to be outdoors. If he is ever is getting a little grouchy for no specific reason I just take him outside and go for a walk and he calms right down. I know all the pictures pretty much look the same but I just love this little man and can't get enough of him!

My Little Cutie!

2008-10-04T17:54:00.001-07:00

Isn't he just the cutest thing. He is so handsome and looks just like his daddy. He is going to be such a little stud muffin!

My wonderful babysitter took all these cute pictures. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful babysitter who takes such good care of my little one while I am at work. Not only does she do a wonderful job watching over my little one while I am gone, but she does a wonderful job taking pictures. If any of you are in need of a photographer she does a great job. She is just getting started so all of you students out there like us she does a great job for such a good price. Check her stuff out at www.amberleighphotography.blogspot.com. Thanks Amber for everything you do for my little family. We appreciate it so much. You are the best.

Florida- Chiro Games

2008-10-04T17:24:00.000-07:00

Josh is on the Basketball team at Parker College. Every year they participate in the Chiro-games which is like a miniature olympics. It was held in Florida this year. Chiropractic schools from all over come to compete in the different sports. They had basketball, flag football, volleyball, softball, track, swimming, and more. Since he was going to be gone for a couple days and we have not had a vacation in who knows how long, I decided I would tag along and make it a little getaway! I was pretty much the only wife that tagged along this year, but it still was fun. Josh's team did very well and won the tournament, along with his school taking home the gold for winning the overall.

The Beach!!

2008-10-04T12:09:00.000-07:00

While in Florida we were able to spend a little time at the beach. The weather was so nice, I wish that we would have had more time to relax by the water. The water was not cold at all, but there sure were some big waves. When I finally decided not to be chicken and get in the water I was not in there too long because the waves were taking me out. It was exhausting! The boys had a fun time jumping and playing in the water.

For all of those who know my husband you know he could not pass up a chance to get in his speedo! Man, he sure did surprise all his friends when they all turned around and saw him. What would I do without my husband to keep everyone entertained?!

We left the baby home with Josh's aunt Glenna and uncle Johnny. Were were so thankful that they were so willing to watch Jr. for the weekend. It was sad to be away from the baby for four days, but at the same time it was good for the two of us to be alone and have a little break for us. We sure missed the baby, but enjoyed are time together. Thanks Johhny and Glenna for babysitting. Your the best!

Monday Night Football!

2008-10-04T09:41:00.000-07:00

Josh decided that while we are out here that he had to at least go to one monday night football game. I agreed as long as he promised he would not spend more then his alloted amount of money I said he could:) So Josh and his uncle Johnny headed off early to the game with some steaks, pop, and money (no barbecue, utensils, tickets, nothing). They found some nice Canadians that let them join them in their tailgating party and shared their barbecue along with everything else they needed! Then they set out to find some tickets. They ended up getting really good seats (eighteenth row), for a very good price. I do not know how they do it, but Josh and Johnny are very good at negotiating with people and getting great deals. They had a great time and really enjoyed themselves. Josh was also so excited about the fact that he was on ESPN after the game. He was talking to his mom after the game and told her to turn it to ESPN to see if she could see her and she told him to start waving and sure enough there he was. It was so funny because we had the game recorded and when he got home he was so excited to show all of us!! Don't worry about the fact that it is still on our DVR and he will not erase it!!

A Few Weeks In Review

2008-10-04T09:23:00.000-07:00

I have been so terrible about updating my blog so I am going to try and do so. Life has been so busy and crazy lately. It seems as if we are always going, going, going. My mom and Grandma were able to come visit for a week. It was so much fun as always to have them in town. They were here at the perfect time because Josh was so busy with school, studying, and tests that he was not home much so it made it very nice to actually have some people at home while josh was gone at school. They were amazing while they were here. They did all the cleaning and cooking and let me just relax. I think it was more of a vacation for me because they took such good care of us. They also cooked up a bunch of different meals and put them in the freezer so after a long day at work and school we can just put one in the oven and have a nice home cooked meal. It has been so nice and Josh is really enjoying actually getting something decent to eat for dinner!!

Of course we had to get a pedicure while they were in town. We always do!! We took the baby with us and he was so good. He also enjoyed getting his feet washed down and playing with the water. It was the cutest thing.

What a Project!!!

2008-09-22T18:04:00.001-07:00

A couple of weeks ago while Josh was on his two week break for school he decided he would do a project around the house. He had been wanting to tile our shower so he decided this would be a good time, since he does not have much spare time when he is in school. (If it was me I would totally be sitting on my rear the entire two weeks being a couch potato while I had a chance!) Little did he know it would take a little longer then planned. What he thought would only take a couple days turned into a lot more. When he tore down the wall and saw that he would have to do some extra plumbing and move an air vent. Our shower was very tiny and not very nice so he decided he would knock out the wall and extend it a little and add a seat. After all of his hard work and time it turned out very nice. I have to add in that I did help out a little with the tiling and grouting:) I had no idea what I was doing but Josh was very willing to teach me to have a little helping hand. It is nice to have it finally done and after this project I think we will hold off on doing any projects more for a while!

Surprise!!

2008-08-21T17:56:00.000-07:00

So my mom had been planning on coming to visit us for a while now and little did I know that Heather and Bentley would be joining her. My mom had told me that she was bringing Jr. a surprise, but wow was I surprised when I saw that Heather and Bentley were it. My mom distracted me at the airport with her luggage while Heather and the baby snuck up behind me. I guess they had been planning this for about two months. Boy did they sure keep a good secret. I had no idea. I was getting so sad since I had not met Heather's little girl and knew that I would not be going home until Christmas. This was the best surprise I could have asked for. Thanks mom and Heather you are the best.

They were here for a week and man did time just fly. We enjoyed each others company, went to six flags, swimming, shopping, and as always ate way to much. It was so nice to have them in town to watch and spend time with Jr. while I was at work. It was also nice to finally be able to take an uninteruppted nap! Thanks mom!

Meeting Bentley for the very first time! She is sooo cute and even cuter in person. I could not believe how little she seemed. I swear that Jr. was never that small even though he was. It is so sad that you already start to forget how small they were.

Josh meeting Bentley for the first time!

It was so fun to get these two little ones together. I can not wait until they are actually old enough to run around and play together. It is going to be so much fun. Jr. didn't always know what to think of Bentley especially when she would cry. He would just look at her like what is that and why is she making so much noise. It was so cute.

Don't we just look like a cute little family? I think it is time for another one!! Just kidding I think we will hold off on that for a little longer! Isn't it sad that my sister's baby looks more like mine then my own son does? He sure does take after his daddy.

Bentley is so cute that I think I will start claiming her as mine.

We loved having Grandma and Heather here. They were both afraid that Jr. would not remember them but I am pretty sure he remembered them both. How could he forget them?! He was all smiles when he saw them and he even shared some of his cute giggles with them too!

We went and enjoyed the sun and warm weather at the pool one day. Bentley enjoyed the water and was looking very sexy in her little bikini. Isn't she just the cutest little thing ever. Oh I wish I could just squeeze her right now.

One night we decided it would be fun to put them in the bath together! They loved it. Jr. didn't quite know what to think about Bentley, but they both love the bath so the extra company was an extra plus!

Aren't those just some of the cutest little bums!! Every time we would lay the next to each other Jr. would have to take Bentley out with his arms. This time I think he was actually trying to hug and love her:)

While they were in town we decided to take a trip to six flags and take advantage of our season passes. We were there all day long and both the babies did so good. We had a blast and I think the little kiddos did too! We did get some pretty funny looks when just one of us would stay with the babies while everyone else would go on the rides. You could tell people were trying to figure out how in the heck we could have two babies so close in age!

Just as we were leaving the park we decided to take Jr. on his very first ride ever!! He was so cute and loved it! I made Josh take him on it twice because the first time I could not manage to get any good pictures. I can not wait for next year when he really can enjoy all the little kid rides! It will be so much fun!

Jr. and Bentley's first time on the carousel!!

We were lucky enough to get a little visit from my brother Brock on his was home to Utah and then again on his way back out to work in Louisiana. Although it was very short we, enjoyed every minute of it. We hope he can do it again soon. Brock and Chantelle just decided that they will be moving to Corpus Cristi for Brock's job and we are so excited to have some family somewhat close to us. We are also excited that it is by the beach.. I plan on making frequent visits to see them and visit the beach so I hope they don't get sick of us!!

Friends!

2008-08-19T19:02:00.000-07:00

Stan and Ashley came to visit us two weeks ago and we had so much fun! Ashley surprised Stan with the trip to Texas for his birthday. He had no idea. She woke him up early Thursday morning, blind folded him, and took him to the airport. When they got to the airport she told him they were going to Texas and he did not believe her. What a good surprise. I would not have been able to pull that one off with my husband. He somehow manages to find out anything I try to keep a secret!

While they were in town we relaxed, went shopping, ate too much, the boys went golfing, we visited the Cowboys stadium, and went to a rangers game.

Here are a few pictures from the Cowboys Stadium. We wish the new one was done so we could take a tour of it. It is going to be huge! Hopefully we will be able to go to a game in the new stadium before it is time to move home.

Don't worry that Jr. can't sit up by himself yet and he did take a few nose dives in order to get this picture!!

Thursday night when they got into town we went to the Rangers vs. Yankees game. Besides being so hot and our seats being directly in the sun we had a blast!

These fans were sitting up a little bit from us and we could not resist having Josh getting a picture with them! I thought it was pretty funny.

We left Jr. home with a babysitter since we knew we would be home way past his bed time! When we found a couple baseball caps at the game we knew we had to take a couple home for Jr. Doesn't he just look adorable in his baseball hat!

I heard that there was a Sprinkle Cupcakes near by so I have really been wanting to go since I have heard from everyone how amazing they are! Well, we decided to make a trip down there and after spending twenty dollars for six cupcakes we were all a little disappointed! (or should I say the guys were very disappointed) Josh is pretty convinced that he can make cupcakes that taste better then the ones we had. I thought they were ok, and my favorite one was the red velvet. I was glad that we finally went but I do not think we will be going back any time soon!

I love my husband!

2008-08-02T09:49:00.001-07:00

Ok, I just have to start this out by saying how much I love my husband and am so glad he is always keeping me laughing!

So with gas prices being so high I am always waiting until the last minute to fill my car up with gas because it is just so depressing how much money I spend. To make the long story short I decided that the next time I left the house filling up with gas would be the first thing that I would do. I went home and took a nap and while I was napping Josh took the baby to the doctor. Well, he decides to take my car and of course i am sleeping so I can't tell him he needs to get gas first thing. I wake up from my nap and I have about five missed calls and a bunch of messages. Yes, you guessed right. He ran out of gas. My poor husband had to haul the baby in his car seat to the gas station and back in the sweltering hot heat of Texas. As soon as he was almost back to the car a nice fire man stopped to help. (and to take this funny picture!) I am sure Josh was just wanting to kill me, but I must say that he was not even mad or rude about it. I am so sorry honey! I guess I learned my lesson that I probably always should keep the gas tank half full because if that would have been me I would of been very upset!

This picture was taken last Sunday just as Josh was getting ready to head out the door to go home teaching. As he was leaving I just cracked up laughing. He was wondering what the heck I was laughing at. I gave in and asked him if he was going to go home teaching with his pant leg tucked into his sock! He looked down and busted up laughing too. I really wanted to just let him go looking like that but decided to be a nice wife and let him know! Thanks honey for the good laugh. I sure do love you.

My cute Boys. I love them so much!

Jr's first haircut!

2008-07-31T18:05:00.001-07:00

We decided that Jr's hair was getting a little out of control! He had a little rat tail growing in the back along with a little swirl! The top was getting a little long so it was starting to thin out. We decided it was time for a little trim so Josh took the scissors and trimmers to it! Well what we wanted to be just a little trim ended up being a little more then that! I guess we learned its a little harder then expected to cut someones hair when there head is just moving every which way! I was actually pretty sad at first cause I loved his little mohawk, but It did turn out cute and it is fun to see the new blonde hair that was under the darker hair! Good thing hair grows right!?!

BEFORE

DURING

AFTER

Other then not keeping still whiling Josh was trying to cut his hair he seemed to really enjoy it! He did not even cry or whine. He was actually smiling pretty much the whole time as you can see! Oh isn't he just the cutest little thing! I love him so much and do not know what I would do without him.

Visitors

2008-07-27T10:11:00.000-07:00

Jeremy, sarah, and Daisy (their dog) came to visit for the past week. We had so much fun with them. We had such good weather while they were here, it was so nice. We went to the pool a couple times to try and soak up the sun. It was really sad that they are from Idaho and were a lot tanner than Josh and I. You would have thought they were the ones from Texas!

Sarah and Jeremy were kind enough to watch Joshua Jr. while we were at work and school. I think we had more of a vacation then they did. They were so much help. Joshua Jr. loved playing and spending time with his aunt Sarah and is sure going to go through withdrawls with her gone. I think Daisy is going to be happy to be back home and have all the attention for herself again!

We also went to the movies, went shopping, and did a lot of sitting around eating cupcakes and zingers!! I think we all gained at least five pounds this week from all the goodies we ate. Although we did not do much we had a great time. I hope they did as well so they will come visit again sometime! The week went way to fast and we are already lonely without you guys here.

If any of you out there would like to come visit Texas we would love to have the company!

Joshy playing with Daddy

2008-07-15T13:58:00.000-07:00

Joshy loves to play with his Dad! I am always trying to get him to laugh and smile, but for some reason his dad has the magic touch. Josh will walk into the room and instantly be able to make Jr. laugh! I love when he laughs. I could be in the worst mood and he will start giggling and it cheers me right up! Jr. is such a happy and good baby. We love him so much. He is getting so big and it is amazing to see how much he is learning. He is getting better and better with his hands everyday. Last week he woke up a couple times during the night for atleast three nights in a row. I was getting so frustrated because he usually sleeps about eleven hours. We decided to try adding a little rice cereal into his bottle before he went to bed to give him a little substance and so far it has been a success. He is now back to his normal sleeping pattern which is going to bed around seven thirty and waking up around six thirty. I am so grateful that so far he has been a great sleeper and hope that it stays this way. On Sunday he rolled over for the first time! It was so exciting. We were just sitting on the couch watching a moving and we looked down and he was trying so hard to roll over. Finally it was a success! I guess we really are going to have to keep our eye on him now! I hope you all enjoy this little video. We sure did. (p.s. pause the music at the bottom and you can hear it better)

Joshua Jr. Update

2008-06-30T18:11:00.000-07:00

Joshua is growing up so fast. He is getting so big. He is now fifteen pounds and is so strong. He loves his new exersaucer that we got him. He is holding his head up so well and loves to push off his legs and stand in his little toy. He has started sucking on his hands all the time. He can not get enough of them. He is also drooling a lot. (Let's hope that he holds off on teething for a while longer!) He is getting a lot more vocal and it is soooo cute. I love to just sit and talk to him, and listen to him and his dad just carry on a conversation. Even if there is not one real word in it!! Just today he has really started to giggle and it is the cutest thing ever. I was actually able to get a clip of him laughing at his dad. I am so glad I was finally able to get something on video. Usually every time I pull the camera out he stops whatever he is doing!! Well I hope you enjoy the video and if this does not make you smile and laugh I do not know what will.

Happy Birthday Mom!!

2008-06-30T18:00:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Mom!! We hope you have a wonderful birthday you deserve it. I wish I was there to celebrate with you. Thanks so much for all you do for me and my little family. We love you so much. You are not just a great mom but you are one of my best friends, and now a wonderful grandma! I am so thankful for the relationship we have. I know if I ever need anyone to talk to or cry to you are always there to listen! I love that we talk to each other everyday on the phone and never get sick of each other and always have something to talk about. (Even if it is about nothing!) I miss your home cooked meals every sunday and just relaxing with the family. We miss you so much and you need to come visit soon. We love you! Happy Birthday!

BeNtLeY has Arrived!!!

2008-06-25T19:23:00.000-07:00

My sister Heather and her husband Chad finally had there little girl Tuesday! She weighed in at 7 pounds four ounces and has tons of hair!! (What do you expect with Heather and Chad as parents). She is sooo adorable. It was Chad's birthday tuesday so he will share his birthday with his little girl now. He is going to be wrapped around her little finger! We are so excited for them and wish we could be there to hold that little angel and meet her in person. Now we know how everyone felt with us here in Texas having our little one:( I am dying. I can not wait to see her. The worst part about it is that I do not know when I will get a chance to go home so hopefully it is sooner then later!! Congratulations and we love you guys!

3 Year Anniversary!

2008-06-25T19:02:00.001-07:00

For our three year anniversary we decided we would celebrate early since it fell on a Wednesday. So on Saturday Josh surprised me with a massage. I was so excited. All of those who know me know that massages are one of my most favorite things!! It was much needed (They always are, right?!) and it was so relaxing. Then that night we got in the car and he said we were going shopping and I could buy whatever I wanted! What a nice husband. We went shopping and I ended up with a few new outfits! How fun! Then we went to a very nice restaurant called Texas de Brazil. It is a Brazilian steakhouse with all varieties of different meat. We had never been there and while in Texas we are trying to check out all the restaurants that we do not have in Utah. It was very good and we left very full! It was nice to have a night alone with my husband. Thank you so much to our wonderful friends that watched Josh Jr. for us so we could enjoy a wonderful night together! Thank honey for taking such good care of me and spoiling me. I love you!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

2008-06-14T18:35:00.000-07:00

Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there.

I wanted to say Happy Father's Day to my dad. I Love him so much and could not of asked for a better dad. Thanks for always supporting me in everything I have done and always being there for me. I know if I ever need anything you are always there. Thank you also for taking such good care of our family and especially mom. You two have such a good relationship and I look up to the two of you so much. I love you and wish I could be with you to enjoy this day.

Happy Father's Day honey. I am so thankful to have you in my life. I love you so much and so does little Joshy. I am so grateful that my children will have a wonderful father just like I do. It is so fun to see Joshy when you walk into the room. It is so cute to see how excited he gets and to watch his legs start kicking and his arms start flying. I can already tell he loves you so much. Thanks for being such a good father to our son.

Fun In The Sun!

2008-06-11T15:41:00.001-07:00

After work and school we decided we needed a little break and headed to the pool. This is the second time Josh Jr. has been swimming. I think he liked it a little better this time then he did last time! He actually enjoyed sitting in his tube for a little bit even though he is not quite big enough to sit in it by himself!!

Aren't his sunglasses cute?! He actually enjoys wearing them! He doesn't even cry. If he is riding in the car with them on he usually falls asleep immediately after we put them on him.

We are enjoying the warm weather here in Texas and look forward to many more days in the sun and at the pool!

I'm all Smiles!!

2008-06-08T19:42:00.001-07:00

The dreaded day of going back to work came and went!! I have survived two weeks of leaving my little one and hopefully I will survive until Josh is done with school. I have to say that the days prior to starting work were some of the hardest days I have had in a while. I have not been away from my little one for more then a couple hours at a time so the thought of leaving him five days a week made me so sad. Luckily for me he has been asleep every morning before I have had to leave so I have not had to see my precious angel and feel so bad leaving. Work has been going good, but I always look forward to the end of the day so I can rush home and hold Joshy in my arms. I truly love him so much and am so thankful that I am a mommy. I never imagined that being a mom would be so rewarding. I love him so much. I love to hold him in my arms and to see his smiling face. I love when he wakes up in the morning and he is just full of smiles. I love the way he smells. I love rocking him to sleep at night. I love everything about him! I am so thankful to have the opportunity to be a mother. I love you Josh Jr!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

2008-05-31T07:24:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Honey! I hope you have a wonderful day! I am so grateful for my husband. He is such an amazing husband, friend, and father. I can not believe we have almost been married for three years! Here are some of the many reasons why I love my husband!!

1. I love that he always puts me first no matter what.
