Some New Stuff

Sorry its been so long!!! Here are a few random pictures from over time. :)

Nursery Time

Hayden's first bath, she wasn't too happy















Emory and her Aunt Jen peeking in the nursery
for a look at Hayden















They had rushed Hayden away from our room
because she had started to turn purple. She was
breathing really shallow and not normal. They had
hooked her up to all their cords and put an iv in her
tiny arm.















She was on oxygen for a while until she started
breathing better on her own. But they kept her
in the nursery over night to keep a close watch
on her, because she had a few issues here and
there.















This was the first time I got to hold her since I
delivered. It was like 6 hours later. They wouldn't
let me get up until I could walk on my own from
the epidural.




















We finally had her in the room with
us the next day. This is one of the outfits
I brought to dress her up in. She still
had the iv in her arm just in case,
they didn't want to have to poke
her again.

Finally an update on Hayden!!

Just getting settled in before my induction!

Tyler anxiously waiting...

Mommy first holding hayden. Tyler had to help me
cause my arms couldn't stay up from all the drugs I
was on

Hayden's first cry















She had a lot of junk in her throat and was having
a hard time breathing and pinking up. It took her
a few minutes to even start crying.

A Second Thought

Today was our 2 year anniversary!!! Crazy. We've been together for a little over 5 years now and every minute has been awesome! I love being with Tyler he's my best friend. I'm so grateful for him and all that he does for me and helps out with. He's more than I could have asked for.

Tonight we went out to dinner ALONE, which was very nice and relaxing. His parents watched Emory for us. We enjoyed a nice quiet dinner at our favorite restaurant Outback, then went and grabbed some ice cream at cold stone. It was a fun little date. We dont go out for nice occasions very often so it's nice when we do.

But I love my "tywer" and I'm so glad he's all mine. I Love You Hunny! Happy 2 Year Anniversary!!!

One week later...

Ok.. So slowly but surely I am dilating! I'm at a 3 now! Yipee. I'm so excited. I had my 37+ doctor visit today. Things are still going good. I did have high blood pressure, so they want me to start being lazy and resting a ton. I'm even more excited that wednesday is my last day of work. Cannot wait is all I can say about that! But the doc said if I make it to next weeks visit that he'll strip my membranes. I have mixed feelings on that, but if it will help I'll do whatever. I've been really crampy lately and a lot more weak than usual so things are progressing and the countdown is on!!

Dilated to a 2!!

So I'm dilated to a 2!!! YAY!

Ya its not much.. but its exciting to know that things are starting to move along!! I'm only 36 weeks plus, so I'm thrilled to know this.

I had to go in monday, and have that standard strep b test done. Then he checked me. I had my mom come to help take care of Emory for me. It was nice, cause Emory thinks I'm getting hurt everytime I get up on their table thing. I could only imagine how she would have reacted this time! My doctor was like "well I'll see you next monday... unless I see you at labor and delivery!

Ya I'm sure I'm getting my hopes up but still even if I dont go early, I'm really only just a few weeks away and the time will go by fast and be here before I know it!! I'm so excited!

Baby Bump

Baby # 2 :

34 Weeks

I know.. Yucky stretch marks.
So I took these two pictures at the same time. And either the baby moved or something, cause I think the top belly picture looks more pointed than the one below. I guess you can decide?














So I'm thinking this baby will be a little tiny thing too. Seeing pictures.. I don't look very big. But I feel HUGE! I must carry it mostly in my back.. that would explain all that pain :)














Wide load coming through!!

Bye bye Ranger!

So I decided I'm sick of putting up with the dogs.. I posted them on ksl.. and within 3 hours I technically had all 3 dogs sold. I thought I would call Tyler and just see how he felt about me selling yoda. Well he wasn't too happy said I was only allowed to sell Ranger. He sounded like he was ready to cry. I feel bad.. but I'm sick of them destroying my house. Anyways I have a lady coming to get Punkin tomorrow night but Tyler wants me to still call her back and tell her no. I had a lady that wanted Yoda and was ready to come get him.. but tyler got in the way. So Ranger is gone though! Gone for good! I'm so happy and relieved.

Freshly Painted

We painted our front room a few weeks ago. I was having a "nesting" need and decided thats what I wanted to do. I'm still getting use to it, but it makes the house more ours and a much warmer feeling. I love it!

Hairdew

Emory woke up and had the cutest little fro! I thought everyone should see it! :)

Memories

I was going through all of my pictures of emory and remembering all the good times we've been through. I found this one, and it's always been one of my favorites. Just because it reminds me of how small she really was. I'm so grateful for emory. She's been more than I could of asked for in a daughter. My mom tells me every day how lucky I really am. And what a great little girl she really is compared to most children.

I was also thinking about my new little one that I'm gonna have here in about 2 months! Time is flying by and its gonna be here before I know it. I keep trying to imagine how its gonna be with such a young girl and a newborn. I'm definatley gonna have my hands full and I'm not sure if I'm ecxited or nervous or both... I guess we'll see.

My Little Bugar

Here are some fun recent pictures!!!

Here's one of her, she's learning how to dip anything in something dip-able. It's her favorite thing to do now. If we have fries and fry sauce she's gotta dip it!

My little stinkeroo... I thought this was the cutest little picture. Emory is now walking, she's been practicing for about 3 weeks now and has it down pretty well. My dad took her for a little walk so I hurried up and snapped a picture.. so cute!! Her little personality has changed drastically in the last month. She's got attitude, she's walking, and she thinks she owns the world. She's just the cutest thing to watch I never do get bored.

Our Temple Sealing

Tyler and I were Sealed in the Mount Timpanogos Temple on August 1, 2008

We had our little Emory sealed to us as well. It was such a wonderful experience. Our family is that much closer. We are so grateful to have the church in our lives, it's helped us out so much. We still have a hard time being good about going. But I know where I stand I just need to kick it in the butt.

Mikelle's Delivery

And here is cute little mikelle. Still waiting for little kambry to come. I had just done her hair and pulled it all up for her. Good thing I did cause her labor was quite long and dreadful.. at least it seemed to me. Mikelle was such a good sport and held out till the end. She's such a good little mommy and loves her little kambry. She's a doll!

Scary Lady!

I'm probably going to get in trouble for posting this picture, but isn't she just the cutest thing you ever saw? This is after staying up all night waiting for mikelle to have her baby. We stayed up watching cinderella (the old school one), and dancing and playing... while poor mikelle sat in bed in pain for over 30 hours.

Emory's First Birthday

This was Emory's first birthday! I'm a little late on posting it but here we are. She wasn't quite as messy as I thought or hoped she would have been. She just kind of picked at the chocolate. Tyler decided to push her hands in the cake and she started freaking out cause she hates stuff stuck to her fingers (like tape). It was hilarious!

She finally started to get into it, and then it just got messy. She was so cute to watch! It was hard to find room in our little house because both sides of our family came, like EVERYONE. It was very fun and exciting. She still didnt know what was going on and why everyone was trying to get her atttention.

We had a surprise visit from Santa Claus! But as you can see it didn't go so well. She is terrrified of him! We tried to get a picture as fast as we could but she was pissed when we finally did. Hah, it was so funny. But now we know not to torment her cause we dont want to ruin it for it for her. Now when she sees old men with white hair and beards she will not let them hold her. So hopefully by next year she will have forgotten all about it. We had all the other nieces and nephews sit on santa's lap and tell him what they wanted. It was such a fun little birthday!

And last but not least... Present time! She got quite a bit of toys. She wasnt much of an opener.. she hasn't quite gotten the opening the wrapping paper yet. But she loves all her toys and it was fun to watch her see new things that were for her. She's growing up so fast and has such a personality!!

My hubby and I

I guess I did this backwards...but now is the story of me and tyler. We met way back when we were 13 years old. We had only dated a short time and he had broken up with me. It was so sad. All of our friends started hanging out in high school and we started to become friends again. One thing led to another and we started dating again around our junior year. We were together non stop. We went to every dance together and hung out till we had to go back home. Time flew by and next thing we knew we were graduating high school together. We had decided about a year later to move in together. We figured since we were together every second, why not. Not much had changed we loved being together and decided to take it to the next step. We were married about a year after that in March of 2007. Our wedding was wonderful and very memorable. Besides the fact it was in a church and the decorations sucked, we just enjoyed being in eachothers presence.

Our honeymoon was awesome. We spent a week in vegas and just relaxed. We had a cute little suite that overlooked the strip, we were only on the 3rd floor but to see the lights was still exciting for me. We had fun walking up and down the strip and checking out all the little shops. We had picked up some memorabilia from the m&m factory and go figure all I would look at were little baby clothes and a cute sippie cup. So of course I bought it and would just save it until I would get pregnant. Little did I know... our little Emory was just starting to surprise me. I found out about a month or so later that I was pregnant. Boy was I sick!! I was miserable till about 20 weeks along. After that it was smooth sailing. Tyler was very excited, but I could tell he was very nervous. He's such a good little daddy. I think he enjoys it even more now that emory is much more outgoing and can play back. Even though emory has come along Tyler and I still enjoy eachother's company. We spend as much time together as possible.

Our Little Girl

This is Emory. She is our little bundle of joy. She was born December 13, 2007 at 2:15pm. She weighed in at 5 lbs. 1 oz. and was 17 inches long. My delivery with her was fabulous! I would say it was one of the easiest things I've done. The worst part was probably the shot for the epidural. Since everything went so well at the hospital I knew she would be the best thing ever. She is the sweetest and and easiest baby I have ever delt with. Not just because she is my own, but she really is amazing! She is so content and will play on her own for hours. I'm so thankful for her to be apart of my life. She has the cutest personality. In this picture she had found a sucker and had never seen one before. she unwrapped it and figured out that you hold the stick part of it and suck on the candy. It was just so cute to watch her figure it out all on her own.

Emory is now 1 years old. We had a fun little birthday for her, and all the family came to support her. She's grown up so much and so fast. She's almost walking! So close but not quite yet. We bought her a little walker toy to help her walk and its so fun to watch her. She just goes to town and walks all the way down the hallway till she runs into the wall. She hasn't quite figured out how to turn it around. I'm sure there is much more to come with our little Emmy and we can't wait to experience it with her...
