Thankful.

You know the quote when life gives you lemons make lemonade:) I love that:) I am so thankful for my wonderful family I am so excited for thanksgiving this year.
We are having it at my brothers house this year so it should be exciting!
Me and my mom met at his house lasto week to get it all cleaned up and ready
it was for sure a project.
But it was so fun lil J and his uncle got along like two peas in a pod just following him around the house it was fun to see.
I am so thankful for Josh and hope he makes right choices so he can be around for ever.
I am thankful for good friends that continually are good examples to me that are so involved in the church and love it just as much as I do.
With my new calling I have met so many women that are just plain amazing!
I talked to a mother who recently lost her son, I asked her how she was doing and how she got out of bed every morning.
Well her reply made me cry as she said I know with all my heart I will get to see him again. And that families are forever.
Wow! That just made my heart hurt a little but I know if I am doing what I am suppose to be doing and have faith hope and charity. And the pure love of Christ. That my family can someday be a forever family:) and that makes me happy!
I am so excited to meet our little girl I am trying hard to prep J for it I think he will love her.
He has a doll kinda a scary looking doll that he carries around and he feeds it it's pretty cute:) well just thought I needed to blog. Here are some pics from our house cleaning party.

Halloween!!!!

Oh my I never knew Halloween would be so much fun!
Jasper is seriously the funniest little boy and he absolutely LOVES candy!
We went so many places in one day we did the main street thing and we brought our little peyton with us, and i soon realized i needed a double stroller! then we did the trunk or treat!
And after that we went to friends and family and around our house lots of candy and a extreme happy boy!:)
oh by the way Peyton is our little boy we are watching for a friend he is 6 months and just so much fun! Jasper was a dragon slayer this year we used his dronkey costume from last year that was the dead dragon. And I pretty much threw it together! But it worked out fine we did have to tape the breastplate on because he wanted it off pretty bad!
But it wasn't complete without it!

Girl.....

Awe we are having a girl and I am so excited ! And just in awe I really thought I would have all boys.
When she told me it was a girl I know this sounds silly but I actually cried!
I mean who does that!
I asked Paul what he thought it was and his words were "I'm going to say its a girl because I know it's a boy" I was like what ever that means!
During the ultrasound I couldn't believe how much she was moving for a moment all I could see was legs and arms just flinging.
And then she kept on trying to smack us away from her!
Awe she's a cutie she looked so small and petite.
Now we have to start looking for girl names.
We are just so happy and excited and We feel so blessed :)
I told jasper he was having a baby sister and showed him the pics and he said awe kitty. Lol he is so funny!
We went on a hike yesterday with some friends and it was slot of fun the weather was so nice.
Here are some pics of the hike and Jasper's sister.

So domesticated....

My neighbor had a lot of purple grapes just sitting there.
so me and Olya decided to ask him if we could pick some.
His reply was pretty much please do so we did it was so much fun, the grapes were so yummy. Jasper and Emma were just gobbling them right up . I love canned fresh grape juice so we knew we what we were going to do with all the yummy grapes.
Then our good friend Sandra had a butt load lol of green grapes so many so we had a play date and picked those as well.
I never thought I would have so much fun Canning but I just got right in there. And kinda took over whoops!
Thank goodness Olya didn't mind I am excited to plant a garden next year and can some stuff!
Here is a pic of my cute little juices all canned:) sitting on a super cute table runner that my super talented sister in law made for me:) and my little helper in his diap.

Relief society calling...

Well it's official I am a relief society teacher and I must say the first time teaching last Sunday was a little scary!
But it was a great lesson that pretty much taught itself it was about staying on the lords side of the line.
It was great because I think I needed the lesson more then anyone.
I thought it was crazy that the blessings you receive here on this earth, are blessing that Heavenly Father already knew you would get before the earth was made.
And you just have to stay on the lords side and you will receive these blessings AWESOME!!!
Anyway I have had so much fun with the ladies in my ward and I am so blessed to have then in my life.
I also have been crafting a lot but not finishing the projects.
So today I might get to finish some and post some pics.
Jasper poor little fella fell off the couch and put his tooth threw his lip it was so sad luckily it didn't go threw the other side just left a huge hole in it.
And it is begging to heal so he doesn't have a fat lip and drilling uncontrollably ..
He is so sweet I love my little guy I can't believe we are having another one in march!
It just its unreal we are finding out the gender tomorrow so exciting:) I've got to start sewing up some stuff!
It feels like this blog is becoming more of a journal more then anything it feels good just to get it out:)

Farewell soccer:(

Well I'm almost five months along so I had to tell my team see ya next year! I had so much fun playing it was great to get away and just play.
Luckily my last game we got to play my great friend Stacy's team so much fun! I almost got 2 goals! This last game yay!!! Almost though but it's been fun I just thought I should slow it down a bit.
I'm feeling so good and eating probably to much but I can still run and do everything I did before being pregnant.
Jasper is getting cuter and cuter every single day! He makes me laugh because he has this great personality! I love my little boy so much he's a lot of fun!
We got to go to Cately's softball game and we had a blast little J was even cheering for her she is the sweetest little girl! She must have got that from her mama:) and Alex is a sweetie too!
Well that's it for tonight.

Relief society conference= LOVE

I went to Relief society conference and it was so much fun. I am truly blessed to have these woman in my life. They are so much fun I love just the sisterhood of relief society and how we are all in this together and we all have our trials and tribulations and we are all different yet we are always there for each-other.
Whether it be we are just having bad days and we need to have a cry or when we need a babysitter these sisters are always there.
I loved the talks in conference I love through the atonement everything will work out. I'm not going to lie I think about this all the time if it will work out in the end but it just reassures me that it will.
And that god knows me personally and knows the trials and worries that I have.
What a great conference I can't wait for conference weekend.

Winnemucca is fun to say.

We took the train to go see my sister and get her ready for baby #3 awe:) I can't wait to meet him.
It was quite a ride on the train an adventure I like to say. It was a night ride so we got on in salt lake at 11:30 at night and we arrived in winnemucca at 5:30 in the morning.
I didn't sleep and jasper finally got to sleep around 2:00 and then when he fell asleep it was smooth sailing the rest If the way. It was crazy to hear the trains horn every so often and realize that I am actually on that train.
It was dark so I didn't see a whole lot and all the people on the train were either asleep or trying to sleep.
So it was really quite. Until around 3:30 4:00 when we picked up a new batch of people this load was quite interesting there was a elderly gentlemen in particular that I was the most amused by. He was loud everything he did was loud his cough the way he talked was hilarious he was hard of hearing so whenever he spoke he would yell! And I mean yell! He was cracking me up.
We loved visiting with them and jasper and azure were always together! Jasper loved his cousins and when it was time to go he kept giving them kisses. We did tons of fun things and we loved there big yard and trampoline :) and there dog Annie jasper still talks about her. So fun can't wait to go back ! The train ride on the way back was from 7:05 to 3:05 it was better we met this really nice lady going to Chicago with her husband so nice. We will be going back to see them soon!

First Utes Game! And soccer?

I got to go to my very first Utes game with my sweet father in law.
It was so much fun I thought I would end up walking around and I wouldnt be able to sit threw the whole thing but that was certainly not the case!
I was standing up and cheering and high fiveing everyone in sight.
It was so exciting the environment of a football game is so unreal.
And I really got to talk and get to know my father in law and I felt like we got a lot closer.
And hopefully I will get invited to another game.

I love fall because that is soccer season, I missed playing so I signed up to be on a summer/fall league.
Well our first practice was yesterday and I thought it was a lot of fun but realized I was seriously out of shape!
I do realize I am 3 months pregnant but I really wanted to do something to keep me going.
I can't wait for our little J to start playing sports I really enjoy watching the little ones play.
I got to go to a few softball games for my super cute niece she looked adorable in her little uniform and I enjoyed going.
So did little J he would run around and eat candy.
But I'm just excited to be a soccer mom and excited to see what this next babe is. :)
Paul is so funny he got these apps on his phone and they are hilarious. I will post some pics:)

Fall Please!

Well I have about had it with summer it is hot and I dont like the smell of it! And having the super powers I have now Its just not working out!
 (By super powers I mean everything that comes with being with child hehe)
 I just cant wait for Fall I cant wait for the cool fresh crisp air , Football and the beautiful leaves and pumpkin spice candles.
 Awe I love fall with all my heart I love Halloween and Haunted houses and not to mention my birthday! I have the perfect idea for Jaspers costume this year he is growing so fast I know I always say that but I really feel like its true:(
But it is a good thing he is at the climbing stage where he climbs on everything and he is talking so much just words come out of his mouth and its crazy because yesterday he couldn't say it but today he sure can.
I think the cutest thing he does now is when we all sit down to eat he starts saying the prayer all I get out of it is heavenly father... and then the rest is in his own language and he folds his arms and closes his cute little eyes.
I am so happy that we have prayer in our lives I feel so much better after every prayer I say, especially when it is with my family.
It just makes me feel closer to my heavenly father and my family.
We have been going threw a lot of changes and Some are awesome and some just are ok.
 I feel like I am in a pretty good spot right now, but by all means I am not a perfect person and I slip a lot but you just have to get right back up because life is to short.
Just always try to improve yourself and keep moving forward there is no use in going back.
I need to start eating healthier and making more meals I struggle with being around food right now but that is no excuse! I am just going to have to buck up and make healthier meals for my family.
Wow I am going on a little tangent.
Well Life is Good and that is all that matters.

The Knotty chair

I started sewing these chairs because I thought it was a brilliant idea, The knotty chair is a portable high chair I love it heres why!
It folds up nicely so I can just keep it in my diaper bag.
I dont have to worry when there are no high chairs in sight.
No worries, Jasper is at the stage were he falls a lot! He is climbing on and off chairs so Im not worried about him falling off the chairs anymore.
I can just throw it in the washer!
It is comfortable and snug:)


Its easy to use Just loop straps around the chair and threw the front flap and tie a little knot to keep them snug:)
here are some Pictures and I am selling them if you are interested let me know:)

Deseret Lake







We went hiking it was so much fun and so nice to get out with my little Perfect Family:)
 This hike was just the right length it took us about a hour and a half to get to the lake and we passed alot of hikers so we were cruzin.
And all of the hikers we passed had never been to the lake so, I was begging to ponder if there really was one or not... finally we made it and there was tons of water the whole trail so it was nice to stop and cool off a little bit. Jasper absolutely loved every minute of it. He would grab the leaves as dad passed the trees and on the way back he fell asleep. It was a cute little lake I wanted to just jump in but it was FREEZING so I just waked in it. What a great Hike though!
Cant wait to go on our other adventures with our new car:)
