17 again

I am sure most of you don't know but I basically love Zac Efron. When I saw he had a new movie coming out I knew I ha to be there. Katie and I decided to go see it the day it came out- and Mother joined us. It was such a cute movie. It must be the pregnant lady in me but I got a little teared up a few times.- katie and Mother just laughed at me. I totally recommend this movie and would go see it again :)

Happy 21st birthday Kate

My dear sweet sister Kate had her 21st birthday on March 28th( I know this is a little late , but better late then never.) Kate is basically my best friend and we go way back- like 21 years. Now not all those years were full of sisterly love...... I mean the oldest has to torture and tease all younger siblings. Also to freak out every time they wear your cloths. It is lots funner now that we are older. Hope you had a great birthday Kate - and don't kill me because I found some great pictures of you ( I know you only look at the pictures on my blog and don't read it ) :) So enjoy.

Me and Kate camping at Tony Grove. I love her little red cowboy boots :)

Halloween was always very adventurous at our house. Mother always had a theme for us. I was a witch and Kate was a bat. The little pumpkin is my cousin Devin. I love the Kate's bow tie.

Here we are at the Bountiful Ice Show. As many know I was a competitive figure skater in my younger days. Many more do not know that Kate tried her hand at the sport as well. Kate was a very opinionated little girl and decided it was not fun so she skated off in the middle of her lesson never to return. She then spent her time at the ice rink watching me and eating Laffy Taffy.

A Christmas photo. We always had matching dresses.

This is my favorite Halloween picture. It even was hung up at kiddie kandids. I loved the Jewelery. We got it from our grandma. This must be the day we both began our love of princesses.

This is quite a jump in ages, but this is when we were friends again. I left out the "Awkward Years" pictures. It was so much fun to be in High School with Kate. This is PROM my senior year, her sophomore. Yes she is taller then me and from that day on always will be.

We had SO SO much fun in the choir together.

The California trip was great. I am glad Kate always hung out with me and Jordan. The 3 of us still have such a fun time.

The 3 of us at Halloween

This is the ONLY picture I found of Kate's AMAZING curly hair. It is beautiful!!! This is her and dad at a young women's thing.

Kate and I at Jordan's mission farewell. Kate took good care of me while Jordan was on his mission. The glasses make her look WAY older then me.


Sisters :) OK Kate, don't hate me... Kate had surgery on her knee her Senior year. I love this picture because it shows Kate so well. She is such a happy girl and even after surgery she is still her funny self. I do have to say I hope she has to have surgery on the other knee so I can hang out with the "drugged up" silly Kate.
On the beach in California. Me and Mother were chaperone's on the choir trip. It was lots of fun,

Mother, Kate and Me one year at Christmas.
Just hanging out camping.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

Since Kate and I both worked at Surf-N-Swim we had the same friends from the pool. So we hung out a lot. It was great fun. This is our trip to Lava Hot Springs

Hanging out on the 4th of July

CrAzy Kate wearing mothers Life Flight helmet camping. Kate is full of surprises!!!

More camping pictures

Sisters make the best of friends!!! She still worked at the pool- that is why she is so SO tan and I am not.
Kate I hope you had a great birthday!!!! I love you so much and am so proud of the women you are growing up to be!!! You are truly my best friend and I am so grateful to have you in my life.

Coming Clean..........

I thought I would be a little tricky. 2 weeks ago I put a countdown ticker to announce that Jordan and I are expecting a new edition to our family. I did not tell anyone, I did this. So extra points go to those who discovered it on there own. I decided to post today because I am 12 weeks. Our little bundle of joy will be coming Nov 10th (or around then sometime). This is the main reason it has taken me SO SO SO long to get a post up. I have been SO SO SO SO SO SO SICK. Ever since 5 weeks I have done nothing but throw up almost everything I eat. It does not make for a fun life. My "morning sickness" is really all day everyday - it gets worse the later it gets in the day; not so fun. Work is especially "fun" since after midnight I throw up at least 2 times before I get home and always once as soon as I get home. This made for an exciting trip to Denver. The 8 hour car ride there was not my favorite, I did only throw up 3 times on the drive. I threw up basically everything I ate every day we were there. The worst was the plan ride home, It took all my strength not to vomit on that plane.

So needless to say my family figured out that I was expecting early on. We told Jordan's family at the annual Easter egg hunt on April 11th. Every one is so excited. The thing that made me the most excited was going to our first Dr. appointment and seeing our little "Peabody" (that is what we call the baby) - oh and telling the Dr. all about my vomiting and loosing 10+ lbs so he gave me some medication to help!!!! YAHOO, it did not solve the vomiting and it makes me really sleepy, but I don't throw up EVERYTHING. I throw-up now just half of what I eat. Work is still not very fun. I get the sickest after midnight - I figure that is because most - ok ALL - normal people are asleep :) But I guess that will be something I can't change.

Jordan and I are SO excited. I just hope that I feel better soon. I have accepted the fact that I will just be tired for the rest of my life and I can live with that.

I hope that this is a good enough excuse to why it has taken me so long to post :) I have however recently discovered that the baby likes fruit, Chinese food and chocolate covered strawberries. :)

This is our babies " peabody" first picture :)

Wicked Girls Night Out !!!!!

My awesome mother in law takes us all on a girls night out every year. This year was the best one EVER. We all went and saw Wicked at Capital Theater on April 18th. Thanks Nancy for the great night.

All us gals at the show.

Before the show we went and got pedicures. So much fun.

Every one took such good care of me since I had been throwing up that day. I am happy to report that I felt GREAT and had an AMAZING time. I did learn that not all people enjoy the smell of rubber cement as us girls do :)

Thanks for the great night Ladies :)

Denver Adventure

With this post I am completely caught up!!!! Yahoo.

So I have an Uncle that lives in Denver. Mother decided over spring break( for Makall and Jenna) that we should go visit them. So 8hour later we arrived in Denver. On the drive I threw up 3 times, so that is not to bad. Wyoming is super boring to drive threw.

Once we got to Denver It was late so we were just getting ready for bed. We informed my Aunt and Uncle about the reason I was so sick. My Uncle said so when are you due? I said Nov 10. he replied Oh we are due in October. So my aunt is pregnant too. So we had fun being pregnant ladies together.

This is lunch at Maggiano's. It is THE BEST Italian restaurant in the WORLD!!! So sad for me because I threw up my amazing meal a few hours later. This is Kate Aunt Megan and cute cousin .

more lunch ( sorry Jim there is no picture of you )
Jenna and her HUGE lasagna. It could feed a small country.

Since this was an "All girls trip" we did a lot of shopping. The little girls loved the Disney store almost as much as us big girls did :)

The little girls did not like shopping for big people cloths. They were however always entertained by the sun glasses ans shoes in all the stores. They loved Makall.

This is how I spent most of our shopping days.

At the out lets. It was nice to be outside. This is all the girls.

All the girls and there new cloths.

Kate and Makall. They are so Crazy when they get together.

The little girls loved to be in pictures so we took a lot!!!

A kiss good bye from Kate.

Well It did not stay an All girls trip. My aunt Susie and her family came a few days after us. She has 5 kids so it was a full house. We went to the temple with the older kids and had lots of fun.

Kate and I flew home on the Thursday of the week long vacation. As I said It took all my strength not to throw up on that plane. But Kate took good care of me. Thanks for the fun trip mom.

I am not dead .................just a looser

So ....I know that I have not posted in like ....well.... A MONTH!!!!!! My bad. Of course I have plenty of excuses and I will tell you all of them in due time. I will now be playing "Catch-up" for the last month. So bear with me but I promise I will do better :) ( that is for you Jord :)
