Lindsey's Birthday!

Happy 22nd Birthday to Linz! (it was the 23rd...like I said I have struggled with blogging!) She was very nice to invite us to her college birthday party and start it an hour early so my girls could go before bed time! She called me all panicked about an hour before that she had burned cupcakes so could I go and get some more boxes of mix! It was pretty funny and the whole time at the store Emma kept asking "why did aunt lindsey burn the cupcakes?" I kept saying "I have no clue...ask her when we get there!" Her apartment was totally decked out in halloween decorations...it was so cute! They even had extras to give to Emma! I felt really bad because an 8 pm party does not sit well with college students so nobody was there! Linz was freaking out that no one would come to her party and I kept telling her she had 100 people last year at her party I am sure people would show up after 9! I told her I would text her later that night and if nobody was there I would come back and get her! Of course I didn't have too! She said it was a blast! Emma had a great time decorating her cupcake and eating it!

This is just a random picture from the other night when Sophie was so tired she just layed on Emma's lap and let Emma rub her hair. It was so sweet!

Costa Rica!

***WARNING GROSS PIC***


Costa Rica was not quite what Jon was hoping for, but he still had a great time. It rained for 3 straight days while he was there! Which didn't make the best fishing/golfing weather! Unfortunatly a little friend must have bitten his arm! He noticed a little bite Thursday morning...and it just kept growing and growing! On Wednesday it looked horrible and I could tell it was causing him some serious pain (he was trying to be macho) we finally had to go to Instacare and have them lance and drain it. He also had to get an antibiotic shot....which the nurse said was like peanut butter. It must have been pretty horrible because Jon just about hit the floor! After Jon having to witness and ER visit with me for a bloody nose, and two babies...I was just not ok watching him in pain! I felt so bad! Now I know how he feels just standing there watching and not being able to really do anything! I would much rather be in pain than watch someone in pain! I know Chelsea and Lindsey are dying of shock right now! They don't handle pain so well! The next day it was WORST and we just decided to go to the ER where it was drained and lanced again and he had to get an IV of antibiotics. They decided that he would need more so they left his IV in and he has to go back for the next 4 days to get more meds! POOR GUY! He has both arms wrapped up now! Anyway we took a picture of it! I don't want anyone to die of shock so I put it at the bottom....let me just say that this is a huge improvement of what it was yesterday! I will keep you posted!

California

So I hope I am not the only one who is having a hard time with blogging lately! Everytime I sit down to post, I just get right back up! I haven't really even read anybody's blog! I am going to play catch up this weekend...so watch for comments! (I really hope everyone is in a slum too...or I might be glued to the computer!) We had so much fun in Cali! It was great to spend lots of time with Grammie and aunt Ne ne! I was really bummed about the byu game...but life goes on! It was nice just to spend a few days in jammies! We were so lucky to go to Disneyland 3 times! The last day we got to meet Jack and Jami there and see them! It was fun to do a little catch up. I think I am already ready for a dental school reunion (speaking of which...if people are going to be in Utah over the holidays let me know and maybe we can try to get something together!) We of course did a little shopping! And I think I watched Wallace and Grommit Were-rabbit movie at least 15 times, but it is actually a really funny movie! We were really excited that Brandon and Jana and their boys could go out for a few days too! My mom took some really cute pictures of Emma with them at Disneyland but I of course forgot to burn a disc from her computer!

It's my pity party....

So we have been in cali for a few days...and really it has been a blast...I will post on that part later though! I am so bummed! I was supposed to go to the BYU game in vegas with my mom, ryan, whitney and Lindsey this weekend and my aunt was going to watch the girls. Of course they both woke up with colds, and Emma started crying when I asked if I could still go! So I decided I better be a good mom and stay home and take care of the kids. I am hoping that it is some sign that if I went BYU would lose...but if I stayed home they would win! I love my girls, they are so much fun! But I was really looking forward to one full night of uninterrupted sleep and some adult only time! (Jon's in Costa Rica! Lucky him! But it is a good break for him before his vacation time comes to a stop!) Anyway I just felt like I needed to have a little pity party for myself! I am feeling better already just getting it out there in the open! GO COUGS!!!

Not much to say...

Well I really can't think of anything exciting to blog about! But I know my mom is dying to get her hands on Emma and Sophie. So I thought I would put a few pics on for her. We took these last week before school one day. I also wanted to show Whitney that Sophie fits into the pink shirt! (she has the same one!) We can't wait to see My mom, and Ryan and Whitney next week! Then I will hopefully have some fun stuff to post!

Happy 7th Anniversary!

So today (sept 30th) is our anniversary, and I have loved on other blogs how they shared what they did on each anniversary....

2001: We stayed the night at Little America (where we stayed our first night), and went up to Park City. I just remember that we decided to walk from one place to another and it started pouring! We also got a cute key with our wedding date on it from Little America. And we had a great brunch the next day!

2002: Unfortanately I had to have surgery after realizing that my pregnancy was a molar pregnancy (fake...their was no baby) We were really bummed, I left the next day to go to my parents to rest a little. (I must mention in hind sight this was really sad...but also a big blessing)

2003: We had only been in Louisville for a few months and I was 6 1/2 months pregnant with Emma. I don't know everything we did, but I know we went to Shogun (a great japanese steakhouse) for the first time! We loved it and went lots more while we were there.

2004: Once again I ditched my husband and went to California to watch my cousins while my aunt and uncle went to Ireland! I am sure we went to dinner and a movie to celebrate...sorry Jon!

2005: Our fifth anniv. was great! Jon surprised me and took me to the Galt House (a super nice hotel downtown!) It was also our first night away from Emma (I am still grateful to the Stohl's for watching Emma!) When we checked in there was a ring box on the bed with a note that we got to go to a store and I could choose a ring! I was so shocked! We went to the store and Jon had selected a few rings with 5 diamonds and I got to choose which one I wanted! We scored even more when they had lost the white gold one that I wanted and got the platinum one for the same price! Then we went to dinner at the hotel on the top floor over looking the River...it was one of those cool restaurants that circled while you ate! He scored HUGE points!

2006: Oddly enough I remember every year but last year! I know I was pregnant with Sophie and not feeling super great. And we had just moved into a house we rented. I know we said that our trip to Hilton Head SC was going to be for our anniversary! Which was a great trip with the Shipp's and Stohl's! It was such a great break!

So happy anniversary to Jon! I am so grateful for his love, hard work, and devotion to me and the girls! I love him lots and lots! We were really lucky to go to his best friends (Ryan who was Jon's best man) wedding yesterday. It was such a great reminder of our sealing. The sealer told Ryan that he probably thought he loved Alexis as much as he possibly could..but that years from now it would be thousands of times greater! I thought this was so true! Every year we just get stronger and stronger...I am very blessed!
