<br />
when Janelle was compiling stories and memories of Gail i had the hardest time narrowing all mine down. i dont have any major memories but i have a ton of little memories gathered over 12 years.<br />
<br />
little memories like building balloon arches for the new years eve stake dance, singing to music the night she bought her new toyota sequoa and drove Janelle and me all over town, calling her "Sister Evans" for years and each time she'd laugh and say call me Gail, going wedding dress shopping for Janelle, eating at Red Robin with her, Eric and Janelle, and countless other little flashbacks.<br />
<br />
Gail was always welcoming to any and everyone. She instantly made you feel accepted and told hilarious stories from her youth, making you feel like you had known her forever. she was never shy about her testimony of the gospel and of the Savior. she frequently talked about it and lived it. she was super artistic. i always knew Janelle got her artsy-flare from her mom. but mostly she was kind. she truly had a pure heart. <br />
<br />
back in 7th grade when Janelle's dad died i struggled for words of comfort, words of healing, and just pain words. i always thought that was attributed to the fact that i was young. what does someone who is 12 know of death, and comfort. however this weekend i found myself facing the issue once again now at 24. i quickly realized being at a loss of words has nothing to do with age. death at any age is just plain hard. <br />
<br />
the only thing phrase or belief that brings any amount of comfort is that <a href="http://mormon.org/faq/mormon-families" target="_blank">families are forever</a>. i'm grateful for that knowledge. i'm grateful that i know Janelle knows families are forever. i'm grateful that i know i will see Gail again. i can bet Gail will be one of the first people giving out hugs to those she loves when she sees them again. i am grateful she's no longer in pain. as we get closer to Easter i am truly grateful for the atonement of Christ. what a wonderful promise that we can not only live again, but live again as families. i'm grateful to Gail and the lessons i learned from not only being friends with her wonderful daughter but from her example through the years. i truly know i will see her sweet smile again.<br />
<br />
as i looked for ways to give my friend comfort i came across these painting by Brian Kershisnik. i love the sentiment they bring as one realizes the other side is so close to us. so as Janelle struggles with the loss of her mom i know she has angels surrounding her, ready to help uplift her when it gets too tough. <br />

the phrase dark side. If I last through today without crying or having a full blown heart attack it will be the biggest miracle. <br />
<br />
Ty started this morning by throwing up on me and all over my side of the bed. Looks like I won't be using my pillows for a little while. He then proceeded to fall in the bath to clean off the vomit. After a mini crying sess by him, he got out and I made breakfast for us. That lasted about 3 seconds before he threw a massive, laying on the floor tantrum (because I wouldn't let him shove 5 torn pieces of toast in his mouth at once). I got a small break while he took a nap. But he then followed it by falling out of his highchair. That is correct, he figured out how tots and up and wiggle his way out of the high chair. So thanks to a fantastic tumble over the tray the highchair is now in storage and I am on the look out for a booster like thingy for our chairs. As if things possibly couldn't have gotten more crazy or stressful he proceeded to figure out how to climb into our bathtub and was doing headstands. I swear if we make it to 2 without breaking anything it'll be a miracle for his little body. <br />
<br />
Anyone who has used the saying "boys will be boys" just has no idea what little boy I'm dealing with today. Guess I should just prepare to live less from all the mini heart attacks I feel like I'm having! Oh mom problems! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYKQB0EE4CDFXxtBDlx9rxF1mGb2ee0U6Inewk9PMfi3THuarg5gRjixEu_cDG4_QTTxc53KcEEnKPfs2TmKK7WZMIkr-f3yEn0iie_3Dxxrst4QqaUtpc78WsmO8ALnSLa1v2fypOiDM/s640/blogger-image-203820765.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYKQB0EE4CDFXxtBDlx9rxF1mGb2ee0U6Inewk9PMfi3THuarg5gRjixEu_cDG4_QTTxc53KcEEnKPfs2TmKK7WZMIkr-f3yEn0iie_3Dxxrst4QqaUtpc78WsmO8ALnSLa1v2fypOiDM/s640/blogger-image-203820765.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijphOw4zSBS_uxuxJKeG48skpyS3iyFEAuzmp7Rhs3JnoMfGVcpHVDvAnQfyCypB61FzP_BKvGGatEhG_8VHdpQhSLhQkqw_tKvEOutbslu0cyVmZ_oGEw3CzZSiFkw4R_twsfQl_lpyk/s640/blogger-image--1271914228.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijphOw4zSBS_uxuxJKeG48skpyS3iyFEAuzmp7Rhs3JnoMfGVcpHVDvAnQfyCypB61FzP_BKvGGatEhG_8VHdpQhSLhQkqw_tKvEOutbslu0cyVmZ_oGEw3CzZSiFkw4R_twsfQl_lpyk/s640/blogger-image--1271914228.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-aXUG4L2AjcyHUu2Hu2eOPGh66C1GlfVETiUb5oUcBZHHtXk5-qFMUp0rqj-UJS-Ew4t4Hko6WGRSrHclINqpALr9viCRaON6WrQQkH3cwrpKZ3334T2217PlZLgh9lzgxT2QA6HQAs/s640/blogger-image-162831319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-aXUG4L2AjcyHUu2Hu2eOPGh66C1GlfVETiUb5oUcBZHHtXk5-qFMUp0rqj-UJS-Ew4t4Hko6WGRSrHclINqpALr9viCRaON6WrQQkH3cwrpKZ3334T2217PlZLgh9lzgxT2QA6HQAs/s640/blogger-image-162831319.jpg" /></a></div>...http://www.blogger.com/profile/16430812376718913772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515192208814606481.post-43490422535364873512013-03-12T13:23:00.003-07:002013-03-14T19:16:22.790-07:00Life Lately<div style="text-align: center;">

There are some things that I am waiting to see how the play out and some important decisions that are awaiting a decision. <br />
<br />
As I talked to one of my best friends about how blah I feel she told me about a quote. The quote talks about how stress is a cover for fear. And that there is no room for fear and faith, only one is present. So I started evaluating my stress or fear of the unknown. As I started to let my fear be replaced by faith I started seeing how I could be a better mom. <br />
<br />
There's so many questions in life, so many changes and unknowns. I can't know the answer to every question. So I have to focus on what I do know. All I know right now is I love being a SAHM. It's the hardest job I have ever done. It's messy and emotionally and physically draining. However the reward far outweighs the negatives. <br />
<br />
And this little boy is the sweetest gift Heavenly Father has given both Jake and me. And he doesn't care that my hair is sometimes (sadly mostly) greasy, that a lot of days I am still in sweats at 2 pm, that I have no makeup on or feel like I am a little lost in this motherhood thingy. He just wants to be loved and played with. So I made sure to put on Ts favorite silly Easter egg glasses and made sure to spend all afternoon wrestling on the floor with my favorite little buddy. <br />

I honestly thought they were kidding considering how many times the news tells me a winter storm is coming and then never does. Boy was I wrong. Good thing late Wednesday we ran to the store to pick up some stuff incase it really was a bad storm like cookies, ice cream, diet dr pepper you know the necessities. <br />
<br />
The weather man said the storm would start at 8 am and last until 12. I have never seen so much snow dump in 4 hours. It started snowing right around 8. 20 min later the visibility was at 0. So everything was canceled/closed for Thursday and Friday. Which was nice because it meant Jake got to work from home. Thursday we ventured out at 1 to see what Kansas looked like. It was perfect. Covered in snow and no one on the road. Only problem was it was the end of Feb and not December. <br />
<br />
For my first snow fall in Kansas it was really fun. We ended up having another storm Monday. This one was intense, the wind was blowing and the snow was so thick! It surprised me because there is no room for the snow plows to push the snow anywhere. So anywhere you go there are just huge piles of snow and tiny walk ways. <br />
<br />
Maybe I'll learn to trust the weather man a little bit more the next time he says an ice storm is coming. <br />

I'm not even going to pretend/sugarcoat it. <br />
<br />
When I took T for his 1 year check up they gave me labs to get his blood drawn to check iron levels and some other things they keep an eye on with whole milk. Needless to say I walked out of the doctors office with a teary eyed baby with hurt feelings (4 shots will do that him) and thought haha ya right. So I put the lab in the back of our file folder. I ignored the drs office calling and emailing me. It wasn't until I was driving home from lunch that I thought about how ridiculous I was being. I firmly believe in vaccinating T And if I can trust a random hair person to do what color they think is best along with wide range I give them since they studied hair, I better trust my amazing dr for the se thing. <br />
<br />
See the problem was I didn't want to admit to myself how nervous I was. The last time T had his blood drawn we were having to admit him to the hospital at just 2 days past turning 1 month. And let me tell you that wasn't fun. They pricked him 5 times in both arms trying to draw blood before giving up and going through the vein in his forehead. There was blood everywhere. Total nightmare that I conveniently realized I hadn't dealt with until asked to draw blood again. <br />
<br />
So as we walked into the Quest I thought I was being such an idiot before, yada yada. Only to find myself .5 seconds from a practical repeat. The lady although very nice had to stick him 2 times, the second time she wiggled the needle around inside trying to get blood, when she finally got it T wiggled his hand free and yanked it out, he's screaming like I've never heard, both nurses are trying to help me keep him still and then finally she replaced it and filled up the two small things and we were on a way. <br />
<br />
Needless to say I walked out of there happy to have it over and cried for the first time (medically related ha) since he was in the hospital. I gave him anything he wanted...including letting him push the elevator buttons and walk the whole distance to the car only holding my hand 1/2 the time. (That took forever!) <br />
<br />
If I thought shots were a breez before they're going to be a joke now for me. I truly think that was harder for me than T. He was laughing and singing and dancing the moment we walked out of the Quest, while I was fighting back tears and all angry they can't take my blood instead of his. <br />
<br />
I'll just chalk that while experience to another first and cross my fingers, toes and any other body parts I'm not doing that again any time soon! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1DwKScSUSdWjW5lg1xDSgK83gZG5S1OXBoc-Q-i_KwVgRzfrggNum0z7xunSZbx1ylMdwEbOrYZ-TMBgp3TSw-9M2-rpKE2MDIg1535FLl9vjZ1asKMRDBtyEyOkPdE25Dl0gl3c61YU/s640/blogger-image--1912860319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1DwKScSUSdWjW5lg1xDSgK83gZG5S1OXBoc-Q-i_KwVgRzfrggNum0z7xunSZbx1ylMdwEbOrYZ-TMBgp3TSw-9M2-rpKE2MDIg1535FLl9vjZ1asKMRDBtyEyOkPdE25Dl0gl3c61YU/s640/blogger-image--1912860319.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qVdV-bQgetK9UCI5rY2ejzxNcLVAqxzQN1IM9ERdepJNYoAVgXq2fomdWR6bKXIqhz4-EmXK91B7teoNi3oL3Kak0QVHUdFaNSMtmUW6HX8eW6tCJ7a0wjZEaiooO4Y0I8k8KBOfWok/s640/blogger-image--1879102630.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qVdV-bQgetK9UCI5rY2ejzxNcLVAqxzQN1IM9ERdepJNYoAVgXq2fomdWR6bKXIqhz4-EmXK91B7teoNi3oL3Kak0QVHUdFaNSMtmUW6HX8eW6tCJ7a0wjZEaiooO4Y0I8k8KBOfWok/s640/blogger-image--1879102630.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRo5iC-797JM_MqJ4pnjcC5zeFcs6mcypvfvX9BRZW8DIGNHJFdho2bBBftgmKYmq4Ko8O4MmVmL2bgHS-FQD6erPrWhWmt6LCjUVJwM5X5hre0dyXlcYhK_84N2Ki-vVZyMDRuBUU8CM/s640/blogger-image-1670958925.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRo5iC-797JM_MqJ4pnjcC5zeFcs6mcypvfvX9BRZW8DIGNHJFdho2bBBftgmKYmq4Ko8O4MmVmL2bgHS-FQD6erPrWhWmt6LCjUVJwM5X5hre0dyXlcYhK_84N2Ki-vVZyMDRuBUU8CM/s640/blogger-image-1670958925.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlrR-5OD2s2avs8-mEB4LHqVodjsYiWFVnl_rfg_TslggS_8kHKWr0RAyvpzWPnHVBu6eda82h1GsXvIW2gsO_nwUdQTz9w4xLMLMNlwcs8_UtpyWhGIVOYPFQ1He5zcl0PVgeV_MlmJU/s640/blogger-image--320197089.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlrR-5OD2s2avs8-mEB4LHqVodjsYiWFVnl_rfg_TslggS_8kHKWr0RAyvpzWPnHVBu6eda82h1GsXvIW2gsO_nwUdQTz9w4xLMLMNlwcs8_UtpyWhGIVOYPFQ1He5zcl0PVgeV_MlmJU/s640/blogger-image--320197089.jpg" /></a></div>...http://www.blogger.com/profile/16430812376718913772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515192208814606481.post-62944858981064749642013-02-15T20:09:00.000-08:002013-02-15T20:09:04.789-08:00Valentines Day<br />

Needless to say Valentines Day was perfect. It was spent with the two people I love most in this world, filled with my favorite cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory, tacos from CPK, a family lunch date, and cuddles with my favorite little boy! ...http://www.blogger.com/profile/16430812376718913772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515192208814606481.post-50451260467894492572013-02-07T15:26:00.001-08:002013-02-07T15:26:57.929-08:001st in a long list of firstsToday Ty did a new first. He climbed up into my lap and laid his head back on me. <br />
<br />
We always cuddle during the day watching a movie or a tv shoe but usually I'm the one who grabs him and puts him on my lap or right next to me on the couch. Today was the first where he initiated the cuddle. It made me stop in my tracks, so incredibly grateful. It was another way for him to show and express love. He has long been giving sweeping hugs after naps or bad dreams and kisses on cheeks without being asked, but now it's climbing up and sitting in laps. <br />
<br />
I loved every minute sitting there together. Every time I experience a new first I am equally sad that my little baby is growing up and excited for all the excitement that comes with him growing up. Either way I'm just plain grateful I have him here to cuddle with. Times like these are just an affirmation that I'm doing things right. I know for sure I'm loving this mom thing and I'm loving the way this year is turning out. Things just seem to get better and better. <br />
<br />
Plus I love a good cuddle, especially around Valentines day. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFqdWfNcSlKuOZxNFYjpcFL-gzV7T6k8nyB4vjterminf7WIvWhzafnmOstgq6BQocW7RDjnodWAlGNJGH7_w37Ta5kH1fRjd9TGYmcq5l7UGOZY8IEaUrQ7RTw-QbyTRYPYZSOZkJIg/s640/blogger-image-697564475.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFqdWfNcSlKuOZxNFYjpcFL-gzV7T6k8nyB4vjterminf7WIvWhzafnmOstgq6BQocW7RDjnodWAlGNJGH7_w37Ta5kH1fRjd9TGYmcq5l7UGOZY8IEaUrQ7RTw-QbyTRYPYZSOZkJIg/s640/blogger-image-697564475.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcWLBPJnUKfsXAIcQcvKVXuE_h8gWQ7XoCoAgmMyYJP3_5slK90JoXB95hw6KA_S5H7U1_Wh5QGS-tmgYDgmnxkiQYnqvEeyuGYgG9Qj7rpuK_BOmNyatH6ySoqjfJFMIysRwVPeGifSg/s640/blogger-image-837724337.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcWLBPJnUKfsXAIcQcvKVXuE_h8gWQ7XoCoAgmMyYJP3_5slK90JoXB95hw6KA_S5H7U1_Wh5QGS-tmgYDgmnxkiQYnqvEeyuGYgG9Qj7rpuK_BOmNyatH6ySoqjfJFMIysRwVPeGifSg/s640/blogger-image-837724337.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3PQHZHf08d3l1dgqN627vQzOSvzLDTbA4RxXhGLI_j5E8Jkb6N60SvWMUYtRjCfW9Lq0_00myxajH-_RV-2STjn_QoEpIeb7_2r2Bcv4v4z1398gVZ6Y5K5U8EbrjUws2uBHO10IjyUA/s640/blogger-image--679469884.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3PQHZHf08d3l1dgqN627vQzOSvzLDTbA4RxXhGLI_j5E8Jkb6N60SvWMUYtRjCfW9Lq0_00myxajH-_RV-2STjn_QoEpIeb7_2r2Bcv4v4z1398gVZ6Y5K5U8EbrjUws2uBHO10IjyUA/s640/blogger-image--679469884.jpg" /></a></div>...http://www.blogger.com/profile/16430812376718913772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515192208814606481.post-87663964374930433592013-01-31T07:13:00.001-08:002013-03-14T19:20:17.553-07:00A,B,C as easy as...I am always on the lookout for new apps that entertain Ty. I swear my phone only has kid apps on it. Lately I have been working with Ty on teaching him the basics (colors, shapes, abc, ext) you know actually starting to use my teaching degree lol. <br />
<br />
There is a new app we have discovered that is a HUGE hit in this house. The best part is that it's free, those are always the best apps. It's called Endless ABC. <br />
<br />
It's great! Sounds out each letter of a word, tells the definition, has you unscramble the words and put them in their correct order. It keeps Ty entertained for a good couple of minutes which is always a huge help! <br />

Tomorrow Jake and I are doing a 6 day juice fast. We have been juicing since the new year but we have always been amateurs, only doing like orange juice, and the good tasting ones. Tomorrow we are committing to the kale, and full on veggie one. <br />
<br />
I just dont know if I can go all week with out diet coke. Luckily I already have Ty's meals for the week cooked and frozen so all I have to do is heat them up and cut up his daily 3 oranges which will help me not feel hungry since I wont be cooking all week. So here is my last week which I celebrated by going out for frozen yogurt (no surprise there that Ty loved it), watched Monsters Inc everyday, split a pizza at our fav pizzera with my fav little guy, and forced him to take a picture with his momma. So I'm rolling the dice and hoping that this juice fast doesn't kill me or make me accidentally kill someone from hunger. Between you and me I'm more worried about the second. <br />

However I thought I would rather remember last Monday instead of today. Since last Monday was full of laughter, learning and of course Ty pooping the bath which is a stark contrast to today which was full of puffy eyes, dark circles from only getting 3 1/2 hours of sleep (nope not cuz of Ty he slept perfectly all through the night), yoga pants, and only leaving the house for a Diet Coke to help pull me out the awful mood that lovely drama caused late last night. Like I said lets go back to last week, when I went back into semi-teaching mode and taught Ty about colors <br />

Sometimes I wish life was easy like when you were little and all you had to do was dip your hand in paint and spread it all over paper.

There is an ominous feeling hanging over today. </div>
<br />
It could be attributed to the fact that some little person woke up for the second day in a row at 5:45 (have to figure out why this is and fix it before I go insane).<br />
<br />
Or<br />
<br />
IT could be attributed to the fact that today our neighbors set a new record for screaming how much the effing hate each other, punching something and then slamming the door... Today it all went down at 8:43 am. Nothing like hearing that as you're reading books with your little person. (More thoughts on this subject later).<br />
<br />
Or<br />
<br />
It could be the fact that Friday it was 60 degrees and today its 15. I might as well just say hello to the inside of my house because I'm not leaving it anytime soon today.<br />
<br />
Whatever it is, the meh is still hanging over my head like a giant cloud. Guess I'll grab my 2nd diet coke of the day and watch some Real Housewives and wait till my favorite little person wakes up from his nap to play with. Maybe some baby giggles will help the meh cloud disappear. ...http://www.blogger.com/profile/16430812376718913772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515192208814606481.post-10663859192610638652013-01-08T08:44:00.000-08:002013-03-14T19:18:40.552-07:00Ty's Birthday (recap)Theres something so magical about Christmas-time and I'm so glad that we get to mix the magic of Christmas with the magic of the birth of a child. I love the significance of having a child born right before the world celebrates the birth of our Savior.<br />
<br />
Dear sweet Ty,<br />
I can't believe we were lucky enough to be blessed to have you a part of our lives for eternity. Thank you for showing us what it means to love selflessly. I cant wait to watch you grow and continue to see who you will become. We love you! <br />

Celebrating Ty's birthday was more than a little bittersweet for me. It
is hard to believe that it has already been a year since Ty was born.
What a wonderful year it has been! Although I miss the fact that he is
growing and not so much my little baby anymore, I love this new stage of
his personality. <br />
<br />
We celebrated with my immediate family and my grandparents. It was small and simple and full of love, everything a birthday should be! My mom asked a girl in our home ward to make Ty's cake. It literally was fabulous! Everything on the cake was completely edible. It was so funny to watch Ty shove the cake in his mouth. <br />

So we picked the day the world was supposed to end, because if the world is ending I might as well be at the "Happiest Place on Earth" with the people I love most, celebrating the best thing in the world for me. <br />
<br />
Jake flew into John Wayne airport Thursday night and we stayed about a block away from Disneyland. We got there right when it opened at 8, and hit all the little kiddie rides that we thought my sisters might not want to do. Then most importantly we visited Mickey Mouse. T's reaction when we walked into his house and saw him was priceless. After a few seconds of shock he had the biggest smile I have ever seen. We were luckily the last people to take a picture with Mickey so he took us on a tour of his house and showed Ty all the little things inside. <br />
<br />
Then we found ourselves a nice little park bench, called the airport to see if Jake's bags finally made it, and ate while we waited for my sisters to arrive. Once they did we ate again (typically how I spend my breaks) and did all the rides. We had an amazing day! I loved every second of it, and cannot wait to go back again soon! There is nothing better than watching Ty's face, completely amazed as the rides sing and dance at him. <br />

I don't know if its Kansas or the fact that I remove myself from a lot of political stuff but this was new to me. I had a heard bits and pieces but didn't really know what it was about. After talking to my mom, sister and googleing stuff I got the idea. According to these women wearing pants is a step toward equality and closer to the argument of women receiving the preisthood. <br />
<br />
At first I found it odd and somewhat silly. Then I found myself feeling a little sorry for some of these women. I truly do not mean to be offensive or ridicule them for their opinion but I don't see where they are coming from. If you feel that being able to wear pants or hold the priesthood is needed to be an equal in this religion then I truly feel sorry for you. <br />
<br />
I love this faith. I have never not felt respected or an equal. I know I am valued and respected. I know that being a woman holds a different meaning in this religion as opposed to the world. I know that to the world I have only gotten married, graduated from college, had a baby and now stay at home and don't even "use my degree". I know it's rare or odd that I am married and a mom at 23. But in my faith and in my own family I am doing the most important thing in the world. I am being a mother. <br />
<br />
In my own marriage and life Jake and I are complete equals. We make every big decision together. He does not rule our family just because he has the priesthood, were a partnership making decisions together as one. It was this same way growing up in my family. My mother and father were equal partners. I always knew how much my father respected and valued my mother. He never saw her as less of an equal because she was a woman. I can easily say the exact thing for both grandparents as well as my in laws. <br />
<br />
That is one of the things I love most about being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The value placed upon women in this faith is incredible. Lessons and talks are given on the power and influence of various women and how we can strive to learn from their wonderful examples. If you listen to the amount of respect and love shown when a member of the 12 talks about a woman it's hard not to see just how special they feel we as women are. <br />
<br />
I see the priesthood as a blessing and responsibility that men carry just as women have the privilege and blessing of carrying babies. Men and Women are just different however both equally loved and cherished by God. <br />

Ty did not show up early or on time, and as I think back I sometimes laugh at how completely clueless I was. Thinking back to last year and how much our lives have changed. I can no longer deny that I have a one year old (next week!!!). Looking at that first picture reminds me once again that Jake and I had no clue that in a few shortish hours our lives would change in ways we didn't know were possible. <br />
<br />
I am grateful everyday for this precious gift Heavenly Father has sent us. I know that most 23 year olds don't dream of staying home and having their lives revolve around nap schedules, eating schedules, diaper changes and all the other things that go into being a mother or a parent but for me its perfect. I couldn't imagine being or doing anything else. It has challenged me and changed me for the better. Every day I am blessed to call this little boy mine and in return be called a mother by him. Thanks little T, I can't imagine my life without you...love you<br />

Needless to say it has been a life long dream. Well this year we found ourselves in the position to fulfill this dream. The Niners were playing the St. Louis Rams the weekend after his birthday. We found a great deal on two aisle (aisle baby) tickets from a season ticket holder who was selling his tickets. We drove the 4 hours to St. Louis and had ourselves a grand ole time. <strike>Minus the time the we stayed up until 3 am trying to help a sick baby with a super high fever (102.6) </strike> All in all this years birthday was a thousand times better than last. I made a pretty stinking good apple pie, Ty helped Jake open presents, and we fulfilled a life long dream...success in my book!<br />

It's been so long since I've been here for Christmas. The last time was 2009 and Jake came to ask permission for us to get married. Needless to say a lot has happened since then! <br />
<br />
Ty and I luckily got out of Kansas just as the cold came blowing in. Before arriving in CA I was actually missing the snow from Utah. It took a whole half a second of 70 degree weather for me to change that idea! Ty and I have honestly been having a blast in CA. He loves my family's dog Rascal, crawls after him and constantly giggles whenever the dog looks at him. Seeing Ty yelling gage (doggie) every time he sees him and interacts almost makes me want to get one! Then I realize I don't want two kids just yet! <br />
<br />
Living so far away from family has made truly enjoy and appreciate my time with them. We're loving are three week Christmas vacation and making every minute last. Can't wait for all the fun activities we have planned for when Jake and Kenzi get here! Here are some of my fav pics from being home so far. <br />

Today is Jake's birthday! We (as in T and me) have a couple of little things we made and put up around the house and tonight the 3 of us are going out to dinner! Last year I remember we were so anxiously awaiting Ty to get here that Jake's birthday wasn't really about Jake. We had a couple of family issues that put a slight damper on the day. Although we both aren't sticklers on celebrating your birthday on your birthday, this year is a little bit of a make up for last year being so awful.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Happy Birthday Jake! </div>
This is now the 4th birthday I've spent with you. Time seems to fly by so fast. I am so grateful that I have every birthday forever to spend with you. Thanks for all your hard work and effort to provide the life we have, I couldn't imagine life without you! I'm excited to celebrate another year together and look forward to many more. Love you!<br />

I sometimes feel there is way too much hype for a meal of mashed potatoes and turkey. I understand the significance behind the idea of coming together to be thankful for what we have, but I struggle to see why so much emphasis should be put on doing it one day out of the year. Why can't every day be spent trying to show our loved ones how much we love them and expressing how grateful we are for the lives we each live. Maybe if we did it more, it would get lost and turned into another mundane activity of life. All I know is as our family gets back into our routine (for 2 weeks) I find myself wishing I expressed my feelings more frequently.<br />
<br />
There are a million things in my life that I am grateful for. So many that I think I would bore anyone reading this including myself. So instead of making people want to vomit, or break their computer I'll do just the basics. The things that I can't imagine my life without.<br />
<br />
I am most grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and my Savior. I truly would be lost without the knowledge of them and who I am.<br />
<br />
I am grateful for my marriage. So many countless, wonderful things have stemmed from that decision. To be sealed to the person I love for time and all eternity. Including the opportunity to be a mother. It has changed me and consumed me in ways I didn't know were possible. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who quietly whispered it was time and that I was ready for this sacred and special responsibility. <br />

I am grateful for my parents. There have been distinct moments in my life where I have noticed how blessed I am to have them and how different my life would be without them. They are two of the kindest/funniest people I know, and I hope to always strive to make them proud.<br />

My type A, first child, semi perfectionist personality conflicts with my ADHD project personality. I start a project make the beginning perfect but half way through I'm totally bored and have found something else I want to do. I decided that Ty really needed a quiet book for the traveling that's coming up during the holidays. Of course I only thought of this on Wednesday and we fly out Sunday. So now my kitchen table looks like this. And I am covered in glitter. Luckily I'm thinking this short deadline will force me to actually finish. <br />

But on a positive note Ty really likes the 2 pages I've done so far and Jake gets home tonight!

That is how I feel about Mondays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They disgust me. Not in a funny way like those people on the TLC shows My Strange Addiction, or Virgin Diaries. But in a very serious I hate you way. They remind me that my lovely weekend as a family is now over and everyday life and reality smack me in the face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This typical Monday was worse than normal Mondays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A: It was a reminder that one of my besties was gone. Who was I going to relive hilarious high school moments with now? Or lounge around eating and drinking cokes with? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
B: Where did the nice 70 weather go?!?! It says 29 but my cars a liar, 2 seconds later it dropped to 26...gross </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
C: Hate waking T up at 4:30 to go to the airport because when we get home around 5:30/5:45 he thinks it is go time for the day and doesn't want to sleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
D: Once again for the next 4 days I am a single parent. The single parent part isn't too bad its everything that comes with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Becoming a crazy pariond person. I blame it on growing up in Hemet. You never know who might be waiting in the shadows to shank you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Doing the dishes, because my dish washer is out making a living.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Meals for one. I hated cooking for myself in college and I hate it now. Thus I live on eggs, waffles and baked potatoes. Not together though because that's sick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will definitely be spending my afternoon walking around Target sharing popcorn with T and drinking a LARGE diet coke. Because even when I leave Target with nothing I am always in a better mood. </div>

I decided to add bubbles to Ts bath and it was literally the funniest thing. After a couple of minutes of staring at them he proceeded to try and eat them. He repeatedly dipped his open, mouthed face into the water and then stare at me. It's these little moments that crack me up and remind me how precious it is having him in our home. I am so lucky to be a mom. </div>

I don't know if its the fact that T is getting bigger and doing more
things that I want to document or the fact that its the holiday season
and we are definitely taking advantage of living somewhere fun by doing
various activities. Whatever it is it has me filling up my phone with
pictures of this little guy!<br />
