Happy Birthday JORDAN!!!!!!

Jordan celebrated the big 25 birthday on Sunday the 30th. So on Saturday we went all-out for the birthday boy!!! We went to breakfast with Kim and Nancy at IHOP- YUMMY. We were going to go bowling, but they had league play all afternoon- Why are bowling alleys so weird? It was a Saturday afternoon.- oh well. Instead we headed down to the U to the Basketball game. This was Brynlee’s second basketball game. She went a few weeks ago with Nancy and loved it. She was in a trance watching the game.

I was SO SO SO excited her Utes Cheerleader outfit FINALLY fits her :) She is the cutest cheer leader around…….Jordan was trying to get Brynlee’s attention so we could get a picture. She kept looking around trying to find him… she finally did and it made her sad………..

Right before the tears started flowing…..

Just playing with Grandpa and clapping for the Utes.

Our cute little family.

After the game we had to stop at In-N-Out in Centerville on our way home- a 2x2 animal style, animal style fries and a strawberry shake- YUM YUM YUM. Then we went out to Ty and Al’s and played the Wii. It was a fun day.

On Sunday we had dinner at the Chatwin’s and Jordan opened his presents. (he also got 4 new dress shirts for work. I got them from Kohl’s- they were $45 shirts that were on sale for $9.00 WITH an additional 30% off- I LOVE Kohl’s! He also got Donkey Kong Country for the Wii a few weeks ago and we have been LOVING it)

Helping daddy open presents.

I went in with my parents to get him the Leather bound Messiah series by Bruce R McConkie. He was VERY excited.

I also got him a Red Velvet cake from Costco. ( last year they had Boston Cream pie which is his FAVORITE, but they did not make any last week) I LOVE Costco cakes!!! It was yummy.

Brynlee was afraid of the candle and wouldn’t help Jordan blow out the candles,

She did LOVE eating the cake though :)

Happy Birthday Jordan!!!!! Hope the big 25 was a great birthday :)

Birthday Lunch date #1

So I LOVE January because Jordan’s birthday is on the 30th. A birthday month means LOTS of great things. SO Jordan got a BOGO coupon for his birthday to The Garden. –YUMMY. So Brynlee and I rode the train down yesterday and met him for lunch.

Brynlee eating animal crackers waiting for the train.

Playing on the train with the Keys.

Eating lunch with dad . She has become a very picky eater. It must be that her mouth hurts. She FINALLY has a tooth coming in, Yes she is almost 15 months old. :)

The awesome view from my seat !!! Brynlee just stood by the window and said WOW

My favorite part of the Garden is there Crème Brule . It is SO GOOD. I had eaten almost the whole thing when I remembered I wanted a picture of it.

On the Trax back to the Train.

She LOVES the train. I think it is because she gets to stand up and play.

This is birthday lunch #1 because Jordan also got a BOGO to Tucano’s at the gateway. SO we will be having us some yummy meat next week.

Hope you are having a great birthday month Jordan. I am enjoying it :)

Movin’ on up… We hope

It has always been our plan once Jordan graduated that we would move, and with Baby #2 on the way it would be nice to move BEFORE she comes ( and I get to big and grumpy to be much help) We will miss all our friends. We are looking at moving to West Layton or Syracuse- So not to far :)

We just found out that they are building an In-N-Out burger 1 block away on main street ( in the Ream' s parking lot) ..... So maybe we don't want to leave :) 2X2 animal style EVERY DAY!!!! I could dig that.... well I would probably weigh 300+ lbs..... so maybe moving away from the temptation is a good idea :)

Baby Deuce update……

I figured i t was time for an update on this pregnancy. I will be 22 weeks tomorrow. Every thing looked good at the Dr this week. Baby deuce is growing right on schedule. I have finally started feeling better. From about 18 weeks on I have felt GREAT!!!!! – I have stopped throwing up!!! –( except for at work … but that does not count, my body does not like staying up till 4 am :) I am finally getting energy back and could eat a house most days. ( I also love gummy bears and could eat them till I throw up) The shots are still happening once a day and going fine. No sign of the Cleveland clot returning just yet.

Baby Deuce is a very active little girl- Just like Brynlee was. Jordan loves to feel her going CRaZy in there!!! I like being pregnant- once I stop throwing up :) This pregnancy is going by so much faster!!!! I am so excited for my 2 little girls :)

So here we are at 20 Weeks…..

So I know Brynlee really has no idea about what is about to happen to her world….. but she loves the baby. She loves to kiss my belly and say Baby!!! So last night she was kissing my belly and started blowing raspberries. You would have thought she died and went to heaven. We were both laughing so hard!!!!

Here is a video, just ignore my pasty white belly :)- and remember the noises you hear are her blowing raspberries… not us farting :)

The beginning of the end!!!!

So today Jordan started his FINAL semester of his education!!!!! Yahoo!!!! He will graduate with his MASTERS in Computer Engineering on May 6th!!!!!  I NEVER thought we would get here and it will be weird to get to be “real people” at the end of the semester. “Real People” means – NO homework , taking vacations whenever we want not over school breaks. and having Jordan home :)

Jordan is super busy so I want to publicly thank his for being AWESOME!!! He works full time AND is going to school full-time. He has 5 classes this semester. He is such a hard worker!!! Thanks boy for being AMAZING!!!!!

I am SO excited to get my Best friend back in 15 short weeks !!!!

We Love you Jordan!!!!! Thanks for being the BEST!! We are all counting on you!!!

Family Pictures 2010

We got some cute family pictures taken while Katie and Kendall were in town.

The cute Chatwin Family.

Brynlee did not know what to think. This is her first time at a photo studio :) Between all of us we got her to smile

Mom and the Girls…….

Thanks mom!!! They turned out GREAT!!!! We will have to get another one once baby Deuce comes :)

Playin’ in the Snow

Brynlee got some snow clothes for Christmas. They are size 6-12 months and STILL too big. She LOVES the snow, she calls it “no” and a snowman is “noman”…… she just loved walking around…..

I am hoping it will snow again so we can go sledding.

She just walked around saying “no”.

Thanks for playing with her Makall. She sure loves the snow.

Christmas 2010

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! We had a great Christmas this year. I have already blogged about the great Christmas SURPRISE :) click here to watch the great video of mother opening a box that contained Katie. I worked on the 24th, so we figured we would sleep in. I woke up at 7:45 and was too excited to sleep. I was sad that I missed the Squire Christmas candlelight dinner….. and gift exchange. Kevin and Alysia had us and Alysia gave us Snuggies and a guide book… It had pictures of them wearing our snuggies and “ doing Yoga, exercising, cooking etc.” it was WAY funny…… I wish I could have been there…. But Jordan did a great job at fooling me. It was a great gag gift. They gave us a food processor. THANKS guys. Kim and Nancy are celebrating there 35th wedding anniversary this year. They decided to rent a house right on the beach in Newport Beach for a week!!! We all are invited to be beach bums for a week for our Christmas gift!!!!! YAHOO we are SO SO SO excited. We are going over Labor day, so that will be something fun to look forward to. We will probably take Brynlee to Disneyland. THANKS Papa Kim and Nancy!!! We are SO EXCITED!!!

Back to Christmas……Jordan and I exchanged gifts. We got a new camera which we LOVE. Katie and Kendall got here at 8 and we prepared for the surprise. After they opened the Katie filled box Brynlee woke up. I don’t know if she was more excited to see everyone or her gifts.

She LOVES anything that has to do with balls.

She did like opening presents but gave up half way through :)

She was very excited to open her new piano. She LOVES playing the piano with Makall and Katie. She started playing it before she got it all the way unwrapped.

We were so excited to see Katie and Kendall

Brynlee was SO happy.

We headed over for breakfast at Squire’s. Boo got a cute outfit and a fun little peoples camping tent. Brynlee was so good. I crashed on the couch once I had a full belly I was a gonner….. thanks Jordan for letting me take a nice nap.

Lunch was Fondue with the Chatwin’s. It was very yummy….. and fun to have the whole family together.

My dad found this duck and gave it to boo for Christmas…. she was in HEAVEN !!!! She would not put it down. She loves to give it hugs and kisses. She got a cute outfit that she loved.

And also a mailbox toy…. which she LOVES!!!!

My parents got us tickets to see Les Miserables at Capitol Theater in May. We are SO SO SO excited!!! it is our favorite show!!!

We had WAY YUMMY desert fondue. We dipped fruit, cheesecake bites, creampuffs, and marshmallows ( just to name a few) in A chocolate and a caramel fondue….. SO SO SO GOOD!!!!……….. but look what I found in a raspberry…….. GROSS…… good thing I did not eat it……

Thanks to all the family for making Christmas GREAT!!!!!! Brynlee was so much fun!!! I can’t wait till next year.
