hemp

Do you remember when this was supper popular? Well I was going through my things at my moms house and found my collection of hemp necklaces. I had one for every color and almost every outfit. sweet huh...lol

Logan's Blessing

Logan's blessing was a wondering experience. He was blessed on the 25 of July in Rexburg, Idaho. Jason was the one who administered the blessing. Many of our family members were able to be there.

But to be honest this was taken way later then the actual blessing. the day of the blessing was pretty crazy. In the morning we had to take graduation pictures- hoping to have time to take the blessing pictures as well. But we forgot his outfit so we could not do it before church. Then after church I had to feed him while we scrambled to put a meal together, because someone took half of our food-bread and salad. So all we had was dessert and the lasagna.  So we ended up having lasagna and trail mix and some fruit. It turned out fine. Just a little stressful. But right after dinner we cleaned up loaded up and got on the road to head here to Cheyenne.

playing Uno

Logan stayed up with us one night and so we were just hanging out and I thought this was just such a  cute picture. Of course the pose that i wanted to catch Logan did not stay in long enough to get but it sure was fun.

Sisterly Love

Hailey sure loves to spend time with her brother!

She is a great helper with changing his diaper. 

Hair

Oh how he has grown up so much since I last posted. He is starting to grab onto more objects and enjoy them. He is supper smiley and is so close to start giggling. He is getting so tall. Last time I weighed him he was 14 pounds and 27 i think inches long. So he is just tall and skinny and adorable!

When we went to the rookies game I did Hailey's Hair in a star. My friends from Rexburg old me how to do it-the did it for the fourth, but I thought I would give it a try. Hailey was very patient with me. It turned out really cute.

Swimming

oh it has been so fun. We have a swimming pool in our complex. So we have been going swimming a lot lately. Hailey took a little while to warm up, but is doing a lot better. We even let Logan jump in for a little bit. but It is just a Tish bit too cold for him.

Testing out the water

It is so fun to be able to get in the water with her an play. She has not been daring enough to get her head under the water, but she is getting closer.

Jason is trying to help her learn to swim.

It has helped for her to have something to go get- Like her octopus.

Walking

We finally got a double stroller. It has been so nice. At first I wanted one that seats side by side, but after trying and comparing we decided to get this one. It is perfect for us. They both do really well  in it and Hailey enjoys being able to move her seat in different directions or spots. So its fun. I have been going walking every day and it has been enjoyable.

My parents only live a mile away but the hill so we headed over there on Sunday for dinner. It was a fun walk, we went through he neighborhoods and looked around on on Sundays Hailey skips her nap because we do not get out of church until 2 and that would be too late. But i guess it took long enough that she fell asleep-pretty funny. 

Football

Jason and I were able to go to a football game together. It was a lot of fun. We were able to sit with a couple from our ward (Marc and Chelsea) in the student section. Our original seats are actually in this picture on the other side. They are alumni and have family still going to college, so they sit over there. But it was a lot of fun to get to know them and go to a game. The last college football game I went to was in third grade at the Air Force. So it had been a long time. Jason is thinking about going to the Boise vs. Wyoming game this Saturday. It is so nice to be close to so many different things to do.

Pretend

We have been having visitors lately. It has been a ton of fun. Bullseye and Monster have been playing with us. i even have to get them snacks with Hailey. it is pretty cute. They come all over with us. on our walks and sometimes they walk us to church. It is just fun to see her mind work.

My Luck in Cheyenne

I think I have been injured more here than I think I was in Rexburg and I lived there for 5 years. And we have only been here for almost two months- Ridiculous I say ridiculous!!!

I was leaving our friends house at like 9 at night and their court yard does not have any lights. I wanted to run home- they live just up the street from us. So I started running but in order to get out of their court yard you have to go up a couple of steps,well I did not make it up those steps as smoothly as I would have liked. So I must have tripped on the top of the step. So I went flying over the side walk and into the parking lot. It hurt a lot!

You can still see each on of these. They are not gone yet but hopefully soon. At least they do not hurt anymore.

So we tried to do a home history. Before we were married I Lived in the Dorms. I lived in Barnes hall but it two different Apt. 

Mean While Jason lived:

Then After two semesters: I moved to:

And Jason Moved back home while we were dating in the winter semester of 2006.

Then in the Fall of 2006 We got married and moved into the one bedroom apt.

We lived here until Hailey was born.

Graduation

So I know I am behind on posting. I have been waiting to get pictures from my mom's camera.

It was a wonderful day. It started out with Jason finishing all his finals and then my parents arrived. shortly after the Marcum's came. I served them a wonderful salmon dinner and cupcakes.

So we had baked Salmon, steamed carrots and green beans, wild rice, and popcorn shrimp. 

And graduation cupcakes-yellow cake, Reese cup, fudge covered cookie, star burst for the tassel. 

So after dinner we headed to commencement. There was wonderful speakers.

Hailey and Logan did great! Hailey had a fever and was not feeling really well, but she was a great trooper.

Then we had a little break, until convocation. Luckily I was able to join Jason and walk in his department so we all did not have to split up. 

But in his department of Accounting it took a long time so it was to dark to take picture after.

Little Logan with my cap and Miss Hailey!

SO on Sunday before Church we went and took some pictures in from of the sign.

With my parents

Jason's parents

and US!!

WE DID IT!

OUCH!

So I was unpacking things here at the apartment and i went to step over a box and then...

Heel + plug of a blow dryer= OUCH!

It went through so many layers it did not bleed very much but wow I was limping for over a day. I have been walking bare foot or with flip flops so luckily my feet were worn and hard.

Last Day in Rexburg

We woke up nice and early to go have breakfast with some good old time friends- the McBride's and the Flap Jack Shack in Rexburg. It was pretty good. wish we went there more. Then Jason and my Dad went to go get the moving truck. Jason, his Dad, my Dad, and a couple guys from the ward helped us load up the truck. It went pretty fast. --thanks for all the help--. Then we started cleaning and got that done pretty early too. It is amazing how dirty the apartment can get and then i always ask my self why did i let it get that way! lol. But then we had some fun.

Grandma Marcum taking Hailey on her last three rides on the Merry-Go-Round

While we were watching Jason got his leg stuck in the railing around the Merry-Go-Round. I could not help but to laugh because it almost happened to me just before he told me he was stuck--Those who are still in Rexburg, be careful it hurts-lol.

Then we headed over to the play ground and hung out there for a little bit. enjoying the perfect evening- was Poter park always this quite on saturday nights? if so I sure missed out on a lot of fun good park nights.

Just relaxing

Just can't go to Porter Park with out getting wet. And Grandma could not resist. They had a lot of fun that night.

4 Years!

Well 4 years ago, 8 moves, 3 states, and 2 children ago Jason and I got married on August 4th.

What a beautiful day it was. We got married in the Bountiful temple. 

I was 20 and Jason was 23.

 We were madly in love and still are! Here we are starting the next stage in our lives. We have grown in ways I did not know we could. It has been a wonderful blessing being together through all the times we have had. I am so grateful for Jason and all that he has done for our family. I love being married to him. Each day is an adventure.

 I am so thankful for where my life has gone these four years .

And now here we are four years later...

I am so excited to see what is in-store for our little family!
