Zack, Kara and Eladee

What can I say.....

2011-01-12T09:14:00.001-08:00

I am not a good blogger anymore! I still get on and look at everyones elses blog but I never update mine? So here is my update! I need to find my camera to upload picture. I will try and do that tomorrow! Where to start? Eladee turned 2 in December! She is such a big girl and talks really well. She tries to say her ABC'S and does really good at it! She got spoiled rotten on her birthday like always! We had a Dora themed party and Santa came to say hi! She was scared of Santa but we got her to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted for Christmas! Christmas was fun. I kinda wish she was a little old so she would have been more excited about Christmas! Christmas was a very busy day! We had Christmas at our house then went to Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's for a little bit, then off to my parents house! After my parents house we went home and had a little nap! We headed of to Keith's house and had to wake Eladee up and she was not happy. It took her a little bit to play and open presents! We all go spoiled rotten and had such a good day! Zack got me a dishwasher for Christmas! I was so happy:) I hated washing dishes by hand and its took all my counter space. New Years was here before we knew it and we just went over to a friends house to celbrate! 2010 has brought lots of new friends! We have such great friends and we can always count on them! 2011 is going to be a wonderful year! My brother Curt and sister in law Brittanie are having a little boy in March:) We are so very excited to have a new little boy! Kenden is the last boy of our nieces and nephew and he is 4! Also Shara and Brandon are having a baby! We don't know what they are having yet but I sure hope its a girl! Everytime Shara watches Eladee for us, she gets her all dressed up and does her hair! If its a boy we will also be happy. Happy and healthy baby is all we really need! Our good friends Jason and Hayley are also having a litte boy this year! Zack and I want more kids but I think perhaps we waited too long! Plus with all the new babies coming we will be good! Eladee is hitting the terrible 2's. She plays by herself really good but she always seems to get into trouble! We got her a kitchen for her birthday and she is always trying to get food out of my kitchen to cook! Which needless to say makes a huge mess! We are working on potty training! We aren't trying to push her into it. When she is ready she will let us know. She kinda doing things backwards! She will go number 2 in the big girl potty when she needs to but when she has to pee she will just pee anywhere! She is really good about telling us when and if she pee her pants! Well that pretty much all we have been up to! I will try and get pictures up! Have a wonderful New Year. I know we will:)

Not a good blogger anymore....

2010-06-04T12:30:00.000-07:00

I am horrible at blogging lately, so here is just a bunch of picture of what we have been doing.

penny and ear tubes

2010-01-20T11:08:00.000-08:00

The last month has been an interesting one. First off we went down to mesquite for new years with some friends and decided to stay in st george an extra night with zack's mom. Eladee started getting sick and would eat anything. she tried and she would like cough it bakc up. She had a doctors appointment that tuesday so zack and I just gave her what she could eat. the doctor checked her for strep throat and it came back negative. We just thouhgt she has a sore throat and is getting a cold. Well that friday she cough was so bad and she still wasn't eating anything. so i took her into the ER to check for RSV. well they did a chest xray and she had what we thought was a quater lodged in her throat. The ER doctor sent us to primary childrens to get it removed. We just drove up ourselfs and it was such a long ride. everytime she cough i was in a panic thinking she was going to cough it up and block her airway. we got there and spent five and a half hours in the ER and then they were going to do the surgery to remove the coin the next morning. When they were moving us into a different room they told me that surgery was with in the next hour. She went into surgery at 11pm and was done 20 minutes later. after surgery the doctor brought zack and i a little cup with a penny in it. she it wasn't a quater like we thought when we seen the original xray. she took a ten minute power nap and got really hyper. she was back to normal so fast it was great. now she is eating like a little pig. and she is oh so happy which makes me happy.
Next on the list of things for her to have done was ear tubes to help with her constant ear infections. She went on this morning and it onlt took like ten minute and she is back to being happy as can be. she is such a good baby and it has not been fun having her moody and unhappy. I am so glad she is getting back to normal and hopefully we wont have any more surprises. i will post some pictures of her at primary childrens and from the hospital today.

birthday, christmas and Eladee's first Jazz Game

2009-12-28T15:29:00.000-08:00

Eladee had a great birthday. Got lots and lots of present. Christmas was good once again Eladee got really spoiled. The day after christmas we went to the Jazz game. Eladee's first Jazz game so she had to have a jersey and a jacket lol. She loved the game she clapped and laughed. Every year Hermansen's gives a tickets for one of the box suite up at the top. Its so much fun. They feed you dinner dessert and snacks. There was alot of room for Eladee to run around and be free. I don't think she would have had any fun in normal seats. Zack and I wouldn't have been able to keep her entertained if we had normal seats. Here are a bunch of pictures of her birthday christmas and jazz game. We also took Eladee sledding on saturday for a minute. she didn't know what to think about it lol.

1st birthday and getting ready for christmas.

2009-12-22T14:53:00.001-08:00

Well the time has come and gone, Eladee turned one. What a great day filled with family friends and lots and lots for birthday presents. Eladee was so very spoiled on sunday. I am not even kidding spoiled. When we got home from her party and unloaded our truck we had to make a path in our livingroom between all the toys and clothes. She wasn't to interested in opening her birthday presents. I opened most of them with a little help from all the other little kids there. Eladee loved her birthday cake. She has never been shy about eating lol. she digs into everything. Poor girl was sugar buzzed the rest of the day. She was so good and visited with everyone that came to her party. Well Eladee's birthday is all over and done and its soon christmas. Zack and I were so worried about making her birthday the best we forgot about christmas being this week. We still had alot of shopping to do before last night. Last night we went up north and got almost everything done. which i must say took a load off my shoulders. I am so very excited for christmas with Eladee. I know she is only one and she won't remember christmas this year, but i have want to play santa for a very long time and i get the chance this year. I have keep all her presents hidden from her lol. and i want to wake her up early christmas morning and let her (or me) open her presents and just let her play eat and do whatever she wants because thats is what we used to do when we were kids. Christmas we played with our new toys ate all the yummy christmas goodies and did nothing. I have been asked a bunch of times what I want for Christmas and honestly I can't think of anything. I want Eladee to have it all. Zack is getting annoyed with me because I don't give him any ideas for me. It great to hit the point in life that you don't think of yourself:) Now I just need more kids to share everything with.

I will get pictures of Eladee's birthday posted very soon;)

I guess its time......

2009-12-01T14:35:00.000-08:00

Sorry I have been such a slacker:) Things got busy and I never had the time to update. So here we go.

Eladee is 11months old time is going by so fast. Since my last post she has learned to: crawl, wave bye bye, clap, pull herself up to furniture, walk around furniture, say mom and dad, throw fits, and of course she gets into everything unless we keep her locked in the living room. She has just got her first tooth yay. I have been waiting. And now she is learning to walk. Last night Zack and I wanted to take a vidoe of her walking to send to everyone. Gotta love cell phones lol. Sometimes she will just get up and take off and sometimes she is just happy to crawl around. She is a good eater. Zack and I never get away with eating dinner without giving her a taste. Infact if we don't share she will just yell at us until someone gives in. Brandon was able to finish her crib in may and it is amazing. So thanks again brandon. She love to watch tv. Her favorite things to watch I know its crazy, but she loves sports. Zack will watch golf basketball and football, and Eladee will clap and make all kinds of noises. I guess that just goes to prove that she got everything from her dad. She looks like him acts like him. I think I might have my hands totally full with those two. The newest thing Eladee has learned is to shake her head NO at us. When we tell her no she just shakes her head. We are working on teaching her to say yes. You can tell she is getting a little attitude, because when I tell her no she starts swinging her arms and throws her body back. lol The hitting thing is mostly my fault cause awhile ago when she would hit me I would laugh and think its cute well its not so cute anymore she can hit pretty hard.
So what have we been up to besides keeping up with the little one. Well we went to Park City with some friends to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and for them to celebrate their 10 year. It was so much fun our hotel was amazing. We had two hot tubs. The biggest bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel. It was so much fun and hopefully we can go back and do it again.
Halloween was so much fun also. Eladee was a little elephant and she was so good in her custome. She never tried to pull off her hat or anything. We went to the trunk or treat in mayfield. man oh man that was craziness. lots of little kids and lots and lots of candy. Eladee looked around at everyone and smiles. she never got scared of anyone. and when the day was all said and done she had a lot of candy she couldnt eat lol.
On a sadder(if that is even a word) note, my grandpa Tony had a stoke Nov 13 2009. My parents have been spending alot of time in South Dakota with my grandpa. He has really good days and then of course really bad days. The most recent bad day was the day before thanksgiving. My mom got a call from my aunt and so they left the night before thanksgiving at 130am for South Dakota, needless to say it was really different not having them there on thanksgiving. We are all very hopeful that grandpa will get better. we love him very very much.
Thanksgiving was great, although mom and dad werent there, my grandma and grandpa came from vernal to spend thanksgiving with us. It was so nice to hang out and talk like we used too. Bobbi and grandma wanted to go to the black friday sales in richfield so I also decided to go with them. Walmart was open 24hr so we got there at 230. We had to wait to actually shop until 5am. I was in line for a trapoline for Shara. It was a good thing we got there at 230 cause after that it was craziness. We waited for 5am to hit and everyone went crazy, i mean people were running pushing and yelling. At one point to stood back in the aile and called bobbi her help. I didn't know where to go or what to do. lol. we got out of walmart at 515am and headed over to kmart and stood out in the cold until six. once six hit people again starting pushing yelling and grabbing. what people will do to save a few bucks. We ended up getting everything we went for and was home by seven:) then the real work came. Bobbi moved to redmond and they needed to paint a few rooms. so we figured we had better get started on that before we all got to tired. We did really good for awhile and then I got tired and ended up fall asleep on the couch for a little bit. Thats about all that has been going on a I will try and keep up on my blog. Its going to hard with her birthday and christmas coming up but I will try my hardest:)

before i was a MOM

2009-10-27T09:14:00.000-07:00

I was blog stalking and came across this poem. I thought I would post it because its so true. Also I know I have been slacking on blogging, but I will do better. I will post pictures of Eladee. Halloween is coming up and we are so excited.

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom

Eladee has never had her pictures done at kiddie kandids. So here are the pictures.

update

2009-08-06T19:25:00.000-07:00

Summer is such a busy season. We have been doing alot this last month. Eladee is growing like a weed. She army crawls around the house. She is getting closer to really crawling. Here are some pictures of what we have been doing.

4th of july

2009-07-05T17:16:00.000-07:00

We had a great 4th of july weekend. It was a little hard to keep Eladee out in the sun for to long. so we went to the pararde in gunnison and then went to the park for some games and came home took a nap and then we to salina for the parade and fireworks. so here are a few pictures of us this weekend

this is eladee and her friend jaylee they played all night and it was so nice of jaylee to share her toys with eladee

my little princess

2009-06-23T15:13:00.000-07:00

So Eladee is 6 months old. I can not believe fast everything has been. She can now sit up by herself although i have to sit by her cause sometimes she tips over. She has been eating baby food for a few months now and she still love to try new things. I have been giving her new treats and baby cookies you know that really messy ones. i am not a fan of a messy baby so she has to be naked when she gets a cookie. She used to sleep through the night, but the last little while she has been waking up, but i just feed her and she is right back to sleep. i just can not believe how big she is getting. I am trying to teach her to walk while i hold her hands and she is starting to get the hang of it. she will want to walking around all the time in no time. she love to talk every morning while i get ready she sit in her swing and just talks. here are some pictures of her growing so fast.

update!

2009-06-04T09:47:00.000-07:00

sorry it has been so long, but we have been busy the last couple weeks and weekends. we to bryce canyon camping on memorial weekend. it was alot of fun, but it rained and the wind was blowing so we couldn't bring Eladee out of the trailer very much. the tuesday after memorial day I went to a taylor swift concert with shara kim and kylie. that was alot of fun. taylor swift was so full of energy and she sang forever almost two hours. then that weekend zack and i went to vegas with some friends. we had a really good time, but missed Eladee. We dropped Eladee off at Loralee's. She had fun and was a good girl. so here are a bunch of pictures from our last couple weeks

just getting ready to go for our first swim

she didn't really know what to think about swimming. the water was really cold at first and she didn't like that.

trying to take a nap with daddy

while in st george we stopped and got Eladee some summer clothes. they have the cutest little short and tanks for baby it was had to decide what to get.

last night i was went to get some pj's out of Eladee's dresser and noticed these pj's so i put them on her and it was huge. she looked like she was going out in the snow or something and she thought it was pretty funny too.

I am so glad this look alike meter say she look like me. Its not alot but 90% of people that see Eladee say she looks just like her dad.

warm weather fun and 4months old

2009-04-24T14:08:00.000-07:00

The weather has been so good the last few days and I am so excited about it. I am ready for some fun in the sun. Bobbi came home to visit and stayed for almost a week. It was great hanging out with the kids. They stayed at our house so we really go to hang out alot. Sunday was my birthday so we went to denny's that morning and then went out and played at the park. When we got to the park I didn't even think about sunscreen for Eladee so her little cheeks got a little red, but it was a really nice day. Of course Shelton Kenden and Teagan had a good time running around, flying kits and riding the bike. So here are some pitures of our weekend!

Eladee is still growing so fast. She loves to roll over and still loves to talk and giggle. Poor thing got an ear infection the week before last and had to have an antibiotic. Her ear infection is all gone now. I took her to the doctor cause she had some rashs on her arms and legs and he said that he would do her shot that day. I wasn't totally prepared for the shot last time she got shots Shara went with us. It makes me so sad to see her cry hard, because she never really cries really hard. But she did really well. And this time after her shot she didn't fever that much. When she got her 2months shots she had a fever for like three days. Well since she is 4months we decided to try some rice and sweet potatoes. She did really well, and of course she liked the sweet potaotes.

Easter!

2009-04-15T21:06:00.000-07:00

Sorry it took me so long to post pictures from Easter. Some of our friends invited us to go camping with them so Zack and i bought a camp trailer. Its really nice and I am so glad we ended up buying it. I like camping just not in a tent. It was a little cold and rainy so Eladee had to stay in the trailer the whole time. Friday night we had to go up north and get stuff to supply our trailer and saturday morning we got up and started packing. I packed the trailer and the baby and zack went to get a genertor. That turned out to be a most of the day thing. It kept braking and when we got it up the mountain it didn't work so zack went back down and got another one. And that one didn't work for us either so we just ended up hooking on to someone else. thank goodness cause we would have had to come home. we had a good time hanging out with friends. then sunday we got up and packed everything up and had lunch at Zack's grandma's house. Then we went over to Keith house and had an Easter egg hunt with all the little kids. Aniston went crazy, she had her bucket full. It was alot of fun. Tyzack just wanted to run around. It was exhausting chasing him around. It was again to cold bring Eladee outside so she stayed inside and play with her aunt Marcia and cousins. On sunday i did manage to take so pictures of Eladee in a Easter basket. she looked so cute.

Eladee is getting so big, today she started rolling over. She did it once and now that is all she does. She cant really get her arm out from under her yet so she gets mad. then tonight she rolled over and then rolled back over. she will be 4 months on monday and i can't believe it. so here is a video of Eladee rolling over.

Eladee laughing

2009-03-26T10:30:00.000-07:00

I have been trying for the last couple of days to get the right video on here. But the other night Eladee was laying on the floor and she got a little fussy so i picked her up and said "hi" and she just started laughing. it was so cute. I am really glad we got it on video. so hopefully i can get the video to work this time. enjoy!!!!!!!!!

i am a slacker :)

2009-03-13T22:15:00.000-07:00

I am sorry everyone i have been a slacker. I have been pretty busy the last couple weeks with work and the blessing.
Well on March 8th we blessed Eladee. It was a great weekend. My grandpa drove all the way from south dakota to come to the blessing. I was the first time he had seen Eladee and it was really nice to see him. The last time I saw hime was at our wedding over a year ago. I also got to see alot more family I have not seen in awhile. It was a crazy weekend, but well worth it. Eladee was such a good girl in church. Eladee smiles at all the men the blessed her. They were so amazed that she was just smiling at them. She really is a good baby. I know I have said it alot, but I always thought I would have a needy baby, only because I was the baby of the family and was really needy lol. I still am. It was an overall great weekend. So thank you to all our family member that traveled so far to share the special day.

Eladee is getting so big. she is almost three months old. Its so crazy. she is starting to sleep threw the night. which is great. she is getting so big yet is so small. she is just starting to wear 0-3 month clothes. I bought her a little outfit the other day that was a newborn and it was a little big, but still fit. I love shopping for her. I really will buy her something everytime I go anywhere. She hasn't even wore some of her clothes we had before she was born, because I keep buying her new ones.
She loves to smile and talk. She is still doing really well at laying on the floor for hours. her new favorite things are fans. when she is laying on the floor she love to smile and squeal. We try and get it on vedio, but of course as soon as we get the camera out she stops.

Zack is starting be be more interactive with her. he has changed 2 diapers :):)(she is 3 months old its about time lol) i went to club one night and when i got home this is how i found them. its so sweet

addicted to blogging

2009-03-03T15:34:00.000-08:00

Hahaha I thought this was funny. Everyone should go see how addicted you are to blogging. You don't have to sign up for the dating website at the bottom just click on "no thanks see my results.
I thought I would be 100% addicted, I feel like I am. Enjoy!!!!

2months!

2009-02-25T11:00:00.000-08:00

Eladee is 2 months old. My how time flies. She is doing great. She loves to smile. The last week she has been really happy while laying on the floor so Zack and I got the video camera out to record her, but she just looks at the camera. She won't even kick her legs when the camera is on her. I tried to be sneaky and sit on the couch and she still some how knew the camera was out lol. She is getting really big also. Not chubby just tall. We went to the doctors on monday for her 2 month shots. They weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. Mondays are really bad for Zack to take work off so I had Shara go with me. Eladee handled the shots really well. She cried really hard for a minute. I almost cried because I had never seen her cry that hard. When I picked her up after the shots she calmed down. Shara helped hold her arms and stuff while she was getting the shots. Thank goodness she did cause I don't think I would have been able to. So thanks Aunt Shar for helping. While at the doctor of course Eladee was weigh and she came in at a whopping 9lbs 10oz and 22inches long. I just can't believe she is getting so big. I will take a current picture of her and post it later.

happy valentines day

2009-02-15T23:12:00.000-08:00

LOVE MONTH!!!!

2009-02-10T08:52:00.000-08:00

So I have decided that since it is love month(as I like to call it) I would list five things that I love. so here we go.

1. I love my crazy husband. He is the best husband anyone could ask for. Even though he can drive totally crazy he is still the best. He is also the best daddy. I love when he hold Eladee and just looks at her. It totally melts my heart. Zack and I have been through so much together and since we have hard the baby we have been so much closer. So thanks Zack for being so amazing!

2. I love my little sweetheart Eladee. She is our whole world. She is such a good baby. I love being a mommy and seeing her sweet little smile. There is better then to have her just look at me and smile.

3. My nieces and nephews, they are all so much fun. I love to spoil them. I love them all so much!

4. My family. I love to see them all. I love family reunions. I love to see how much everyone has changed and how much the kids have grown. Its so much fun hanging out and catching up on things.
5. Last but not least I love my friends. I love hanging out with all of them. I don't really have any pictures for this one, but I still love them

Fluffy :(

2009-02-04T21:24:00.000-08:00

Today is a sad day for me, because I had to put our cat to sleep. We have had this cat for over 15 years. One of our cats when I was little had Fluffy and so we have had her since she was born. I loved her so much. She was so cuddly and still played with the dogs like she was a kitten. Because my parents work out of town so much she would stay at our house and when we had the baby she went back to my parents. Zack and I were worried she would jump in the babies bed. And my parents are back to work out of town. We put her to sleep because she was so old and she was loosing her hair and throwing up all over the place. I will miss her so much. She really was a good cat and still acted like a kitten. This isn't the best picture, but all i could find. Tyzack is giving her a kiss

Superbowl

2009-02-01T22:04:00.000-08:00

We went over to Zack's dad's for the superbowl. We had a good time eating lots and lots of good food and painting our faces. We even put a little bit of paint on Eladee's face well long enough to take a picture. Tyzack looked really cute in his little Stealers shirt. He could even say go stealers lol!!! Zack was going for the Cardinals. I didn't really care who won. I am not really a big fan of football. I just go to hang out. Eladee was of course going for the Cardinals, because that is the team daddy wanted to win. It was a fun night and a good game!I decided because it was february to dress Eladee in a little valentine outfit that grandma Loralee gave her. It looks so cute. I have a couple more valentine outfits for her wear the rest of the month.
Eladee is six weeks old! Time is going by so fast. And she is still a good little girl. She loves to lay on the floor and watch tv. I can lay her on the floor for hours. She will just look around kick her little legs a hundred miles and hour and talk.

On friday Keith gave us tickets to the jazz game. We left Eladee with Keith and it was a little hard for me. Zack and I have went out and left her before, but only for like three hours. So going to the game was a little bit longer. I really missed her, but had a good time at the game.

happy and healthy

2009-01-28T11:26:00.000-08:00

We went to the doctor on monday, and everything is good. Eladee weighs 8lbs 10oz. Which I can't believe. She is growing so fast. She is also starting to stay wake more. I lay her on the floor and she will watch tv and play for hours. Its nice when I need to get things done. Today she has been super happy. She has smiled at me alot. I was lucky enough to get a picture while she was smiling.

5 weeks old

2009-01-24T13:06:00.000-08:00

I can not believe Eladee is 5 weeks old. She is growing so fast. We weighed her the other day at my dad's lab and she was 8.6lbs. That was with her clothes on so she is about 8lbs. When we left the hospital when she was born she weighed 5lbs 8ozs so in 5 simple weeks she has gain 2lbs. WOW!!!! She is still a great baby. Her sleep schedule is still the same. She only wakes up once in the night. It is so nice. She also sleeps like me. When she wake up at seven in the morning I feed her and she will go back to sleep until eleven. I am going back to work at the first of the month so I need to learn to stay up at seven when she wakes up. Eladee is also starting to be alert. She will lay on the flooring and look around for hours. We are so very blessed to have a good baby.

Best Friends!!!

2009-01-16T08:16:00.000-08:00

Atley Coates is here. My best friend from high school had her baby on Tuesday. Atley weighed 7lbs 5oz and is so cute. I am really excited for her to be here. Eladee now has her best friend here. Our two little will be best friends for life. I took this picture of the two of them and Eladee look so big compared to Atley, but Atley weighed more then Eladee when she was born. In every picture of Atley I have her tongue is out. lol.

This picture is so funny. Eladee is dead asleep and her hands are in the air. She has done this a number of times. Most of the time she just put one arm up, but that day it was two. Its so funny!

My sister took these pictures of Eladee when she was home for christmas. They turned out so good. I was going to go and get picture done up north, but I think we will wait until she is a little older so we can get some family pictures. I am so glad Bobbi took the picture not only did it save me money lol, but its something fun for Bobbi to do. She did my pregnancy pictures also. So thanks so much Bobbi Zack and I love the picture. Eladee always has her hands up by her face. We didn't put her hand like that. I have so many cute pictures of her with her hand up by her face

Baby update

2009-01-02T18:44:00.000-08:00

Eladee is doing good. She is still a little jondus, but it is slowly going away. A couple days ago she was 14 and so the doctor told me to start feeding her formula. I took her in to have her checked today and her bili level was 8.9. So a few more days of formula and I think she will be all better.

Zack and I are doing good. It wasn't to hard to adjust to having a baby. Well at least not for me. Zack can't stand to hear her cry. He also doesn't like to be home alone with her. My friend Mindy has been in the hospital for the last couple days so I went and saw her and left the baby home with Zack. We are still a little nervous about taking her places. I stayed at the hospital with Mindy for just over an hour and when I got home Zack was stressed cause she got fussy for a minute. He has yet to change her, but he is really good at helping me feed her when I am making dinner or cleaning up. The nights are pretty easy. She sleeps most of the night. She is starting to stay awake more. When she wakes up at about seven she won't go back to sleep until like nine. And during the day I will just lay her on the floor and she will just look around.

While Bobbi was down for Christmas we put Eladee in her little tutu and took so pictures of her. She was not happy about it, but we got so pretty cute pictures. Bobbi is working on cropping and fixing the pcitures so as soon as she is done I will post them. This is just one of the pictures I took with our camera. I just love dressing her up. I just can't wait until she grows into more of her clothes. Right now she is still on preemies. Some newborn stuff fits her just not that well.

Merry Christmas!!!!

2008-12-25T12:11:00.000-08:00

This year christmas is a little weird for Zack and I. We have a little family this year. The baby is still under the lights for her jondus, so everyone has come to us this year. It doesn't feel like christmas. Last night was really hard for me. I stayed up all night long with the baby. She was really good she slept the whole night I was just worried about keeping her little mask over her eyes. I finally went to sleep about six and woke back up at seven thirty. I just want to hold her all the time, but again we can't take her out. I told Zack this morning that we should just take her in and have them check her again so that maybe she could be out of the lights, but we both knew that she needs to stay under there. Its just really hard. I know she isn't hurting or anything its just hard to watch her just lay there. Well this morning when we took her out to feed her I really want a christmas picture so we put her in a stocking and took a little family picture. Its our first family picture. Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Jondus

2008-12-24T21:28:00.000-08:00

My little baby has jondus. I know its common, but it just brakes my heart to see her under the light. They make it easier these days, she gets to be home with us under the lights. The only time we get to take her out is to feed her. She is doing really good with it. At first it was really hard because she wanted to pull the little sheild down the protects her face. But we got her so light glasses. She has to be under the light for two days. I wish it was only one day, but i guess whatever will get her though this. At night when we are just watching tv I always hold her and just lay there, but now I can't. When I take her out to feed her I just love it. Hopefully the jondus will go away so that she doesn't have to be under the lights. Bobbi and the her family are coming on friday and I want them to be able to hold her cause that is all Bobbi has wanted to do since I had her. I guess we will do what the doctor orders and hope she gets better. Wish us luck.

home at last

2008-12-23T08:04:00.000-08:00

kenden just loves her

checking out daddy

it took him three days to hold her. When we took her he wanted her back

We got home yesterday morning. Its really nice to be able to shower and sleep in my own bed. Things are going really good. I have a good little baby. She never cries, unless she is getting a diaper change. I have to wake her up to eat. I love having her here. We couldn't have asked for a better baby.

our bueatiful little girl

2008-12-20T09:46:00.000-08:00

Well she is here. its been a long process but we finally have her here. Yesterday I told Zack that I had not felt her move so we decided to come it and get checked out. Well as soon as we got here I was having contractions. At first my contractions were about six minutes apart and were really big. I was not in pain which was great. I had to ask people if I was even having a contraction. Everyone was amazed I wasn't in pain. Well of course my blood pressure was high and so the doctor wanted to keep me until it went down. It didn't go down so they gave my a pill to induce labor. The first pill didn't do much, so then they gave a second one. After that, every time i would have a contraction the baby's heart beat would lower. The doctor decided it would be best to get her out, so we had to do a c section. Everything went good. She weighed 6 lbs 1oz and measured 19 in. She had almost no problems and was able to be with Zack and I the whole day. We are glad she is here and thankful everything is good with her and I. Thanks for all the support.

update

2008-12-15T13:22:00.000-08:00

I went to the doctor this morning, and my blood pressure is ok. I had a non stress test before seeing the doctor and the baby looks really good. I am having another ultrasound on wednesday. My fluid level is getting low so he want to keep an eye on that. My fluid level at this point should be 11-12 and it is 9.5. which isn't reall bad, but if it gets down to around 5 they will have to take the baby. I am still on bed rest and I am sure I will be until the baby is here. I will know more on thursday when I go back to the doctor.

bed rest :(

2008-12-08T15:32:00.000-08:00

Well as everyone know I have had high blood pressure and protein in my urine. I went to the doctor today and my blood pressure is still high and my protein level is the same so my doctor put me on bed rest. Bed rest is not fun. I always told zack that it would be great to stay home all day and do nothing, but reality has hit and it is not fun. I am on strict bed rest, which means I can only get up and go to the bathroom. So many different things I could be doing keep running through my head. I could be cleaning my house and doing all kinda of things. I am still working just from home. I can't do much, but I can just about do everything at home besides helping the costumers. Being on bed rest this time of year is hard because its close to Christmas, and we normally go to St George for Zack's moms birthday and Christmas. But I guess we will get to see his mom soon when the baby is here. Today the doctor said that he want to get me to at least 37 weeks which will be next week. So if everything goes ok he will wait longer. My doctor put me on blood pressure pills which should get me closer to my due date. Wish me luck with bed rest. :(

my first customers this morning!!!!

2008-12-03T09:15:00.001-08:00

This morning I was looking stuff up on the computer and heard a bunch of noise outside so I looked at the camera and our dealership lot was just covered in sheep. yes i said sheep. they were in between cars and right next to my door. I am not affaid of sheep, but they totally out numbered me. lol There was hundreds of them. I just thought it was funny. Its not every day your first costumers are sheep lol. I know lame joke up. I am laughing on the inside.

UPDATE!!!!

We had a great thanksgiving. Thursday we went to Zack's dad's house it was nice hanging out with the family. Then Friday we went to my mom and dad's and had dinner and also hung out. We got the babies room painted during the week, so I started putting baby stuff away and it was so much fun. Everything is so cute. I was hanging up the babies clothes and Zack said " you don't even put our clothes on hangers," so I told him that it isn't as fun with our clothes. lol. Its just so much fun to see all the tiny things. I spent most of the day friday and saturday putting the stuff away and washing clothes. Saturday we had tickets to the Jazz game. The Jazz game was alot of fun. Tyzack was a little scared at first cause of all the noise, but the he started playing. We taught him to "boo" when the crowd was. So he walked around saying "booooo". Before the Jazz game we had a free visit to fetal studios for an ultrasound. We got to see her and get a few pictures. Her estimated weight is 5.5lbs and she is still going to be long. So we so far have a healthy baby. Its a relief, because of all the problems we have been having. My ankles have been getting really really big. So my mom and sister told me I should have my blood pressure checked, so last week I went over to the hospital just to have my blood pressure checked and ended up having yet another non stress test. Everything looked ok, they just told me to keep my feet up. The following monday we went to the doctor and he told me I was to have two non stress test a week, because I had protein in my urine and my blood pressure was still a little high. So zack really cracked down on me. We started really watching my sodium. The first day was really hard, because I didn't want to eat healthy and low sodium stuff and its hard to find stuff that doesn't have alot of sodium. I cried alot that night, but was over it the next day. I also started to drink alot more water and I have seen a huge improvement. Its so hard to drink water all day long. But I have learned to just deal with it. My blood pressure has went down and my ankles do not swell near as big as they were. Hopefully everything will be ok when I go to the doctor tomorrow. Now that I have wrote a book here are picture of the ultrasound. In the first picture its kinda hard to tell, but she is smiling. when he froze the ultrasound to show us she was smiling it was a really good picture. it was so cute to see that she is a happy little girl. My placenta was up by her face also so the picture aren't great, but they are good enough for me.

hospital visit

2008-11-11T10:13:00.000-08:00

on thursday last week i wasn't feeling very good. my stomach was cramping and i just felt like crap. around noon i was going to head to manti to do some stuff for work. mindy didn't have to work so she was going to ride with me. i thought before we left that i should call the doctor to see if i needed to come in since i hadn't been feeling good. well the doctor was gone and his nurse was out to lunch so i left the nurse a message and told mindy that we should wait until we heard from her to go to manti. so we stopped and got a drink. i got 7 up since i wasn't feeling so good. i took a drink and it made me sick. so then we decided that we just run up to the doctors office. the nurse sent me over for a non stress test. so i call zack and my parents to let them know what was going on. they got me all hooked up for the non stress test and then came in and told me i was having contractions. i was so scared. we were not totally prepared for her to come right then. my contractions were 2-3 minutes apart. they gave me a shot to stop the contractions. zack and i were freaking out. my baby shower was this weekend and all i kept thinking was that she was going to be here before the shower. the contractions finally stopped and they sent me home. when i got home i took a nap. when i woke up i had something to eat and felt just fine. the next day i felt fine and still feel really good. we figured that i had the flu, which can make you have contractions. we went to the doctors yesterday and got flu shots and the doctor said everything was okay. thank goodness

my baby shower was great. i got alot of stuff and alot of blanket which i really needed. it is safe to say that we are most of the way ready for her to come now. it was great to spending time with my family and friends. the morning of my shower my sister took so pregnancy pictures of me. i will post some as soon as i can. we also took some family pictures later that night.

babies room, halloween, and our weekend

2008-11-06T08:44:00.001-08:00

we started painting the babies room and i am so excited, and a little nervous. everything is going by so fast. i am so happy with the color. pink is my favorite color so its so much fun buying pink. we are going to paint three of the walls pink and one wall brown and i think i will put brown polka dots on the pink walls. i can't wait to start setting her room up. i am sure when she is older she will hate the color pink because it will be everywhere.

zack and i started our prenatal classes last night. everything is becoming so surreal. zack didn't have to much fun at the class, but its all information he needs to know, and stuff i need to prepare for.

it was our one year anniversary on monday. i can't believe it has been a year. we went to st george last weekend. we had alot of fun. zack wanted to golf all weekend. he went on sunday, but i didn't think he was going to get to go because of the rain. but he was up bright and early excited as ever to go. saturday we went shopping and just hung out together. it was nice to get away for a couple days. before we left i wanted to see the kids all dresses up for halloween. kenden was bam bam. by the end of the day he was really good at saying "trick or treat". we didn't get to see tyzack, but earlier in the day he wasn't feeling to good. aniston and emerson where little witches and they were so cute. kbrina does a great job at making their little outfits. when we got to st george we were able to see britania and the boys. they were ninja's and cute ones at that. they are cute little boys. zack and i haven't had the chance to hang out with them very much so it was nice. they had zack's name down really good. his name is easy for little kids. i was very surprised when dylan said my name. it took the other kids forever to say it. so over all we had a fun weekend.

the utah jazz

2008-10-30T08:18:00.000-07:00

the season offically opened last night. zack is a huge huge jazz fan. last night when he was watching the game i was in the bedroom laying down and all i could hear is him yelling at the tv. it was getting close to the end of the game and the jazz like to make it interesting and zack freaks out. i tried and tried to get a picture of him jumping and yelling at the tv, but they all came out blurry because he was moving so much. i like the jazz, but i don't go crazy at the games. zack sister shara was able to go to the game last night and zack was so jealous. he was looking at tickets online the other night, but they were pretty expensive. he even asked me if he could get a new jersey this year. i will try and get some picture of him going crazy when the next game is on.

ultrasound

2008-10-22T08:25:00.001-07:00

i went north yesterday and got an ultrasound. the guy told me i could come back for free because she was sleeping and she was also breech. he didn't get any really good pictures of her, but we did find out that she is going to be HUGE. she already weighs 3.31lbs and she is two weeks ahead on her height. so she will be tall like her dad. she was very stubborn like her mom. and she like to sleep. she would not wake up throughout the whole ultrasound. we tried different positions and pocking at her. i am glad she is healthy. i am just a little bit nervous about how big she will be by her due date. my regular doctor has not changed my due date, but the ultrasound showed that i was a week ahead and the estimated due date was 12/31/08. My due date now is 01/08/09. so we just might have a new years baby. this picture is about the only good one he could get. i will post others next time i go.

2008-10-04T10:23:00.000-07:00

Bobbi and Trux had to make a quick trip to St George so they dropped the kids off with grandma and grandpa. So my dad went and got some pumpkins for the kids to decorate. we tried to find paint so they could just paint on them, but couldn't find any. So walmart had some things you just stuck into the pumpkins. They turned out so cute and the kids had so much fun doing it. here is a picture of the kids and their pumpkins!

labor day weekend!!!!

2008-09-05T17:19:00.000-07:00

zack went to mesquite labor day weekend for some poker tournaments so i went to my sisters house. it was so much fun. on saturday we went to lagoon. of course i couldn't do much, but it was so much fun watching shelton and teagon go on the rides. so here is a picture of shelton on one of the rides he was so excited to be on the ride. then sunday we just kinda hung out i took the kids with me to park city and went shopping. there were alot of sales so i had to buy baby clothes. it was a little hard taking two kids into stores with me. i don't know how bobbi does it. its for sure something i would have to get used too. then monday i met mindy and her sisters in provo for more shopping. i thought zack was going to kill me when i got home with all these baby clothes, but all he said was "it looks like you had fun." lol i got really good deals on the clothes i bought and i got a lot of clothes. our baby is going to be very spoiled. but why else do you have kids right!!!!

ITS A GIRL!!!

2008-08-13T17:13:00.001-07:00

Zack and I went to the doctor today and had our first ultrasound. It was really cool seeing the baby. It made me feel like there was really a baby in there because i haven't felt her kick or anything. It took awhile to determine the sex of the baby because she had her legs so close together, but we finally got to see the three lines which meant a girl. Zack wanted a boy, but he is really excited about having a girl too. I also got the go ahead for shopping. :) I have wanted to buy baby stuff since we found out I was pregnant, but Zack thought it was a waste of money until we knew what we were having. So I have been looking at baby stuff online. I am really excited for a girl. But if she is anything like me and her cousin Teagon I will have my hands full of attitude.

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!

2008-07-29T09:00:00.001-07:00

After we got married I was always telling Zack that we needed to have a baby and he finally gave in. I am 17 weeks right now and we get to find out what we are having August 13 2008. I can't wait. I really want a girl, and or course he wants a boy. I have been really lucky through out my pregnancy as far as getting sick. I had one day that i was sick, but it didn't last very long. I have a couple for friends that are pregnant too. Its been really fun being pregnant with someone. Hayley is one of my friends that is pregnant and she is having a little girl. When Hayley got pregnant I started pushing Zack alot more. Zack is really excited and love to go to the doctors with me. When we first heard the heart beat his whole face just lit up, it was really cute.

since we got married

2008-07-29T08:52:00.000-07:00

Zack and I got married in November. Before we got married we remodeled a house in Centerfield. Our house is out on the farm so we don't have any neighbors and its very piece full. We plan on staying in that house for a while. We were able to buy it cheap and it is a great little starter home
