Parker leaves:(

2009-09-02T09:10:00.001-07:00

It's so weird another one of my brothers has left for their mission. Parker seemed so excited and has said nothing but good about the MTC. He leaves for Canada this coming Monday! I'm so excited for him. They changed the MTC so you just drop off the elder at the curb. You have about 2 min to say your goodbyes!! Kinda different then when we dropped Riley off, but it almost made the whole experience a little bit easier. I'm excited for Parker! I know he'll be an awesome missionary!

4th of July/ Draper Rodeo

2009-07-15T12:18:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged for awhile and there's a lot to catch up on:) The end of May Ty had another accident. He was mountain biking with his dad and he flipped up over the handle bars and landed very wrong. He broke his neck and tore a disk in the front of his neck. It was very scary but luckily everything will be ok!! He just has to wear this ugly neck brace for 3 months. So that's what the blue thing is around his neck! He can't do any physical activity whatsoever so it's been a mellow summer for us.

The 4th was so fun. Easton loved the fireworks! He was so entertained by them. We went to Thanksgiving Point to watch them this year with my family, Jenny and Lindsay and their husbands.

The Draper rodeo was so great this year too. If anyone went Friday night and watched the Bull riders you know what I'm talking about! I went with my mom and dad because Ty was out of town. The summer has been a little crazy for us!

Jamaica!!

2009-05-10T21:32:00.000-07:00

Ty's parents took all of us kids to Jamaica to go back and see Ty's mission! It was gorgeous and I couldn't get enough of the water. Ty and I even got to wakeboard and ski in the clear blue water! It was so awesome to get a little break and have time to relax. I graduated right before we left so it was much needed:) I loved visiting the people and seeing the island where Ty served his mission. Church was incredible and we had some awesome spiritual experiences. It was such a fun trip and so fun to be with Ty all day every day!! Now we're back to reality... Hope everyone is doing great!!!

Tulip Festival!!

2009-04-23T20:00:00.000-07:00

The tulips at Thanksgiving Point were so pretty! I loved it so much. If you haven't gone yet you need to:) E and I went with Grandma Bell and cousin Kennedy. It was so fun! Easton loved it!

My baby turns one!!!

2009-04-07T21:23:00.001-07:00

I can't believe I have a one year old!!! Easton has been the best thing in my life. He has taught me so much in the year that I've had him. He has taught me so much selflessness and I love him so much!! I feel so blessed to be a mom and have him in my life. I had no clue being a mom would be so amazing!!!
E was so cute at his birthday party! We had mine and Ty's family, both of my grandparents, and Sarah and Kevin over for cake and icecream. I took E's clothes off and let him go for the cake! He was in heaven. He got sooo many toys and clothes! He is very spoiled and has so many people that love him. Happy birthday Easton!!

The Bachelor!

2009-03-03T14:17:00.000-08:00

K I have been obessed with the Bachelor from day one, and I loved Melissa from the beginning!! I was so happy when Jason proposed to Melissa and they seemed so happy and I thought nothing could go wrong.... What happened?? It was like my seat was taken out from under me!! What!! He dumps Melissa on TV and then goes out with Molly? I'm so confused. I've heard that he cheated on Melissa while he was dating her with Molly and that's how this whole thing happened? Does anyone have a better idea of what actually happened?
Ty and I are moving this Saturday as well!! I'm so excited!! Hope everyone is doing great!!!

Easy E

2009-01-29T13:56:00.000-08:00

We just took Easton's almost 10 months old pictures. Our photographer is Andrea Tuft and she is amazing!!! This picture is one of our favorites!! Riley, my brother, also got home yesterday!!! He is so cute and awesome. We're trying to break him in:) Hope everyone is doing great!!

Oh Christmas!!

2008-12-29T10:48:00.000-08:00

Christmas was so great this year!! It was so much more fun having a little kid and getting to be Santa for the first time! Ty and I had so much fun picking out presents for E and setting them up that night! E was so cute and loves all his new toys!
About 2 weeks ago Ty had a little accident. He was playing ball down at open court and was trying to save the ball. He went to brace himself against the wall, but it was a window and he went straight through! It was the scariest thing I have ever seen. I saw the whole thing happen and when I saw the puddle of blood on the floor I thought he hit an artery or something horrilbe! We went to the ER that night and he had to get over 80 stiches!! I took better pictures with my phone but I don't know how to get those on the computer. I'm just so mad that there were windows in the gym and that they were so easy to break! I really am just so mad that it happend!! He's good though and luckily nothing serious happened:)

Temple Square!

2008-12-16T10:18:00.001-08:00

We went downtown with my family to watch the Joseph Smith movie, eat at the Roof, and look at the lights! It was so nice to just be with Ty! I love him so much, and I couldn't ask for a better best friend:)

Go Cowboys!!!

2008-12-01T08:28:00.001-08:00

My family decided to drive to Texas for Thanksgiving to watch the Cowboys game!! We lived in Texas for 10 years when I was little and we hadn't been back. We went to all my old houses and saw a few old friends! It brought back so many memories!! I loved it!

We love the Cowboys!!! It was so fun to be with my family! After the game we wanted to go to our favorite bbq spot for Thanksgiving dinner! We were all so excited but when we pulled up it was closed!!! Almost every place was closed! We ended up eating Thanksgiving dinner at our hotel!! HA we won't ever forget it!

Easton was so good the whole trip except he didn't love how loud the stadium was! Every time people cheered he would cry! ha it was sweet!

My little Cowboys fans!!!

We took an RV so it made the 2 day drive a little better. This is E reading his Winnie the Pooh book! He loves it!!!

HALLOWEEN

2008-11-04T19:45:00.000-08:00

Easton was a little turtle for Halloween and he was dang cute!! It was so fun to dress him up and take him places. We went to Ty's work first and then I took him to South Town Mall for trick or treating. Ha I got all his candy :) It was so much more fun this year though having a little baby to dress up. Ty and I got to dress up twice. For my family party we dressed up as each other and for our friend party we went as cowboys. It was such a fun Halloween!

My cute little E

Ty was such a pretty girl it was freaky!! He has such a pretty face ha!!

Randomness!!!

2008-10-02T21:32:00.000-07:00

I put all my pictures on a CD so I finally have them on my computer!!! So these are a bunch of different pics since we've been home from Virginia!!

How much sweeter can Easton get! I love his face so much! He is the sweetest baby in the world. He is constantly laughing and making new noises! Gosh I love him!

We went to Olive Garden with the girls! I love being with just the girls(and E of course!) It's a nice break from everything we do all day every day!

This was at Market Street Grill with my parents. He is the only grandkid so he is just a little spoiled by his Grandma and Grandpa!

This was at Tuachan down in St George with his family! Have I mentioned that I love my husband? His birthday is in 2 days!!! He'll be the big 23!!!!

St George!

2008-09-16T19:26:00.000-07:00

So I lost the cord that plugs into my computer to get my pictures off of my camera!! I think we left it in VA or something so I haven't been able to update forever!! My friend emailed me these pics so thats how I have some. Ty and I moved into a little apt and we are both going to school! Our schedules are crazy and we hardly ever see each other! He goes during the day and I go at night so one of us is always home with E. When we are home together we're doing homework ha!! Crazy lives right now!

This past weekend we went to St. George with some good friends! We stayed at Ty's parents house there and had so much fun!! It was so nice to take a little break from everything! We went swimming, out to eat, bowling, many many night games in other people's backyards!! We had some intense games of Mafia as well! So much fun!
Can I just say that I have the best baby in the world!! He was so good the 4 hour drive down and was so happy just to be around everyone! He is laughing so hard now and is getting his hands into everything! He is really teething now! Ha he is getting 2 little teeth in his bottom middle gum!!
My husband is so sweet to our little boy and to me! I couldn't ask for a better husband! I have wanted to marry him since I was 15 years old and now he's so much better than I ever thought possible! I love being married to him and having him be the dad of my sweet little boy! I love my boys!!!!
These are all the cute girls that went! Heath, Whit, and Amy! They made the trip so much fun!!!

Gettysburg/D.C.

2008-07-30T13:09:00.000-07:00

We went to Gettysburg with Ty's family and Lindsay and Tyler on Sunday. It was so fun to have family out here! They got to come see our apt and just hang out. We went and watched a movie about the civil war and Gettysburg and I loved learning about it. Lincoln really has been the best president we've had in my opinion. Easton was perfect as usual and liked all the sights too :)

This picture of Lincoln was on a wall when we were walking out of the museum. The Gettysburg address was on the window right next to it.

Me and Ty in front of the Unions flag.

All the bells....

This was at the cemetery in Gettysburg. There were so many graves and cannons everywhere.

This is in front of the Lincoln memorial. This one of my favorite things we did. We went to a bunch of sights the next day in D.C. We went to Arlington as well and watched the changning of the guards. So cool!!

Baby E

2008-07-23T14:04:00.000-07:00

This video is mainly for the Grandmas!! It's kinda boring... I tried to get him to laugh and as soon as he saw the camera he couldn't stop looking at it! It's better than nothing though!! I sound so funny... Sorry

1st tooth!

2008-07-16T13:23:00.000-07:00

Easton has had a little runny nose and cough lately and I couldn't figure out why! I noticed this little white dot in his gums and thought I could scrap it off!! When I tried it wouldn't come off. Somehow my little boy is already teething!! I couldn't believe it! He's only 3 months old and he's getting tooth!

Tyler messing with E. I'm sure E is so bugged but he can't do anything about how much dad messes with him!

engagement and wedding pics!!!

2008-07-16T12:39:00.000-07:00

Ocean City!!

2008-07-14T15:40:00.000-07:00

We went to Ocean City on Sunday with Tyler and Lindsay. It took us 3 hours to get there and Easton slept the whole time!! I have such a good baby!! They all went boogie boarding and Ty tried to make me go but I was being a baby. I usually love stuff like that but I didn't want to be sandy and salty..Ha! It was so nice to go out and do something with Ty! I feel like the only time I see him is when it's time for bed!! We had so much fun though and I can't say enough how good Easton was. He chilled underneath an umbrella and loved the sand between his toes!

Of course we got our funnel cakes and the best drink I've ever had!

I couldn't tell you what I'm pointing at. I love Lindsay!! She's such a good friend. It was weird to think we were in Maryland. Ty kept saying he felt like he was in Mexico!! Wasn't even close to feeling like that!

us 4 on the beach!! I want to be there right now!

Ty and Ty got all this supplies from random people on the dock to catch a crab. Lindsay and I thought there was no way they were going to catch one! The first time they pulled the cage up there was a tiny crab in it!! It was so cool!!

Linds and I went on the little sling shot ride and it was the best ride I've ever been on!! I screamed the whole time. It shot us 220 feet up in the air and then we fall back towards the ground facing it! It felt like we were going to face plant into the ground. It was such a rush!!

4th of July

2008-07-07T12:33:00.001-07:00

We decided to go to D.C. for the fourth to watch the fireworks. It was so cool to watch them behind the Washington memorial. They were some of the best fireworks I've ever seen!! The finale was amazing. Easton loved watching the fireworks. He stared at them with his huge eyes the entire time!! It was fun to spend the whole night with Ty!! I miss having him around!!

Our little family watching the fireworks!!
