I have never been more excited for a movie in my life! I cannot wait till Thursday July 16th at 7:00 when my cousin Katie and I (and her husband) go see this movie! This was my favorite book out of the series and I just get chills thinking about it! I hope I'm not disappointed!! Im sure I wont be since I have loved every movie regardless of how much they left of from the book! Ooooo cant wait!
So yea Im not much of a blogger anymore, I dont know why. Anyway, my poor baby broke her leg on Sunday. We have no idea how. We were at church and put her down to go to nursery, she ran to the toys and 2 seconds later she was on the floor screaming her head off. I have never seen her scream like that, it was freaking me out. we took her home to see if she could just walk it off but she was still in so much pain. I had to convience nathan to take her to the ER. Thanks heavens he agreed because it was a pretty big break. Its just one big mystery! She broke her tibia in such a way that the doctors at the ER didn't believe Nathan's story and called CPS on him! He was so mad, and so was I! But we got cleared thank heavens and Jordan is doing sooooo much better ever since we got her bright pink cast on! I think its a lot more comfortable for her. The night she had her splint on was a NIGHTMARE! She slept maybe 2 hours and then screamed for 6 hours straight and I cried maybe 3 straight with her. I hated not being able to do anything for her. It broke my heart! But she is happy again, stopped screaming and slept pretty well last night. So we are headed to Indiana tonight for a 5 day visit, I hope she does well on the plane, Im very nervous! Peyton has been throwing tantrums since Jordan got hurt, I feel bad because I think she feels neglected, poor thing! She knows we love her still! Anyway here are some pics of my poor pathetic Jordy monster!
I thought I would post all these cute pictures of the girls! The first couple are randoms. So cute though! Then there are some from our new swimming pool! The girls love it and love being in the water! I saw it at wal-mart and had to get it, especially with the 100 degree weather we are ALREADY having!! Then there are a couple pictures of the girls helping me and nate throw away rocks that were in our yard. They love helping and get so excited when they do something good that makes me cheer and clap my hands. The video at the bottom is of them do so! Enjoy!
Jordan happy before she tries the lemon
Peyton, for some reason she loves wearing daddy goggles! She brings them to me all the time to put them on her face! Love her!
Love this picture! Peyton just relaxing!
Jordan loves climbing up and down the little slide! Its kind of annoying just because I have to help her go up and down (hence the photo of her being stuck... she says "isssss stuk" its so cute!)
Peyton trying to drink the water but it keeps emptying! 
Jordy monster! Oh I love her!
Peyton throwing away rocks!
I thought I would do a little update since I am horrible at blogging now-a-days! I had a wonderful mothers day! Saturday we all went to Town Square and I had gift cards to H & M leftover from my birthday last year so I got some cute shirts then we ate at Claim Jumper! That is my favorite restaurant right now! So good and they are sooooo kid friendly! Then we came home and put the girls down and watched a movie. Good day!
Sunday I woke up to the little monsters with new shirts on that said I love mommy! They were so cute! I forgot to take pictures of them, dang it, but maybe I will later so you guys can see! Then Nathan made me pink, heart shaped pancakes with strawberries YUMMY!! Then we went to church and I got some chocolate from the ward and had a wonderful Relief Society meeting (the girls got to go into nursery since it was mothers day! Oh I cant wait, 4 more Sundays!!) Then we got fruit pizza! It was delicious!! We got home and I got to take a much needed nap! So all in all, it was a wonderful weekend! Oh, Nathan got me a Kitchen-Aid! I have been wanting one forever, I am so excited! I cant wait till it comes!! It's the Cook for the Cure edition, white with a pink strip, I am very excited! Love you Nathan!
So I hope all you wonderful mothers out there had a great relaxing weekend! We all deserve it!
To my amazing Mother, thank you so much for raising me the way you did! You were my best friend growing up and you still are! I couldn't have asked for a more amaing Mom to have in my life. I have some BIG shoes to fill and its pretty impossible to fill those shoes but Im going to try! I love you very very very much and I can't wait to see you IN 2 WEEKS! Woo hoo!!
To my wonderful mother-in-law! Thank you for raising such a wonderful son! I couldn't imagine my life without him and I know its because of you, your hard work and love that made Nathan such a wonderful man, husband, father and worker! Thanks for all you do! I Love you!
I made homemade pizza for the first time tonight and it was amazing!!!!!!!! We had so much fun making it together. We made the dough the night before (Nathan is so happily showing up how to kneed) and we made it tonight and it was a hit!! We are going to start to make this a tradition in our family and we are so excited! We love starting new traditions and this is a great one to start! The girls loved the pizza as you can tell by the picture. We did half just cheese and half peperoni since the peperoni is a little spicy for the girls to eat right now.
We had a great fun Easter weekend. Nathans dad and sister came for a visit. Nathan and his dad worked out in the back yard 24/7 for 3 days and got a lot done! We had to use a rototiller to dig up the back yard because our grass was dead and our sprinkler system was busted so we had to fix that too! I will post pictures of them working later but here are some pictures of the girls at their first Easter hunt and Easter morning! I love my sweet little girls and am so blessed to have them! Enjoy!
I am so excited to start this program! We got it off of Craigslist for $25 bucks!! And it came with everything! Im sure everyone has seen the infomercial on this workout program! It sold me and I have a couple friends who do it and love it so we will see how I do!
I did my first day yesterday and I am soooo sore its not even funny! I can't wait to get into shape again and feel good about my self. Lame, I know but all you moms out there know how hard it is to get to the gym. Yes, I do have a gym membership but just the thought of going wears me out... this is what goes through my head...
-I have to get dressed
-I have to get the girls fed, dressed and a diaper change before I leave
-I have to get them in the car
-I have to drive 15 mins to the gym
-I have to get both out of the car and to the day care area
(by now Im already sweating and tired)
-I have to work out now.... weights, cardio and stretching
-I have to get the girls from the day care
-I have to get them (usually screaming their heads off) back into the car
-I have to drive another 15 mins back home
-I have to get them out of the car into the house change more diapers, fed them again...
Get my drift... its just exhausting!
So, I am SOOO excited to be able to work out at home and actually get an amazing workout! I was sweating so much yesterday in my hour workout, it felt so good to go at my own pace and not have to worry about the girls (because Im going this during their nap time). So anyway.. I am sooo excited and I will def. keep you guys posted on how Im doing because Im sure you all care SO much!
I lot has been going on here lately but first let me say that we finally have the internet so I can keep you people updated!! So yay, thats fun I can finally get back into the real world!
We had to get out of our rental home before April 1st because our landlord was foreclosing, bummer I know but it worked out perfect!! We bought our own house! We absolutely love it!!! I love the feeling this house has, it actually feels like a family home! Im so excited to get everything put together and make it look like a home! We moved the the Northwest side of Las Vegas so basically just 35 mins from our old house.
Here are some pictures of the house!! I HATE how blogger uploads my pictures! They always show up in a different order than how I actually want them to be! So sorry they aren't together but you will get the jist!
I have to admit, I haven't been in the blogging mood lately. I think its just because we dont have the internet at the house anymore since we have to get out of here April 1st we are just going to wait til we get into another place. Thats a whole different story... we have been house hunting and there are a couple we (I) like but we don't know what we are going to do at this moment but hopefully we will be soon. Here are some pictures of my girls! They are getting so big!! I just can't believe it, every morning I notcie something different about them... they are just getting so big! They are running all over the place, they love love love Dora the Explorer and High School Muscial. Once I put any of those movies on they are in a trance!! They love to eat anything and everything, most of the time, they are talking more, during dinner Nathan will hold a conversation with Peyton while she is eating.. its so cute. I have it on video hopefully some day I will get it up! Jordan is my little diva.. goodness.. if she doesnt get what she wants or if Peyton has something she wants... she lets you know. Starts hitting and crying, boy am I in trouble with that one! They love stuffed animals, Peyton loves her Monkey (curious George) and Jordan loves every other stuffed animal we own!! Doesn't matter which one it is she always is carrying one. They love to look at the picture of Jesus on our wall. I ask "where is Jesus?" and they look right up to the picture and point and will start at it for ever! Peyton trys to say it, its so cute! They are offically out of their baby carseats and now face us! They love it, just kicking their feet and loves to look at us while we are driving! Never knew that would make such a difference in car rides for them! They love the park, anything out doors, dogs, swings, multch, rocks... anything they can put in their mouths really... they are just happy little girls! I couldn't have asked for better ones! Its just really surreal that this is going by so fast, my mom always said "once you have kids, time goes twice as fast." and boy is she right! Now its time for another.....
HA! Just kidding, not yet at least!
Here are some pictures of them from the past month or so!
My poor little Peyton fell tonight in the bath tub really hard and hit her lip on the side and now has a fat lip, she is a sport about it though. She cried for 5 mins and then wanted to run around with jordy! Poor thing though...
Peyton pooped out, and yes that is he monkey next to her
They love fruit!!! They could eat it for every meal, and I mean every fruit!
Peyton eating her apple and sporting a mullet at the same time!
mmmmm.... ice cream! (Jordan)
Peyton... stylin' ha
Jordan with her chapped lips
Peyton running from daddy after her bath!

Peyton!
Grandpas here!!! Jordan got sooooo attached! Anytime he left the room she would cry her little heart out! It was so cute!
Papa and Jordan!So I think I should do a quick update.
The girls had thier first bday on the 7th of this month! It was sooooo much fun! I had some of my best friends come up from Utah(thanks guys, I love you!!) and all of our families came from Indiana, Utah and California! I love family get togethers!! THe girls got sooooo spoiled! So many gifts! So the will be having a small Christmas, at least from us! They were such good sports until they started eating their cakes, well Peyton ate hers but I was putting on Jordans birthday hat and I ACCIDENTALY let the rubber band go too soon and it smacked her skin and that was the end of it! I felt soooo bad! She didn't get to eat her cake! I put her down for a nap after that because she wasn't happy, Im such a bad mom :(
All in all, it was a WONDERFUL weekend I loved having a family here! I miss them all so much!
You guys will NEVER believe this but it has been snowing here, in Las Vegas, allllllllll day! And its still on the ground, covering EVERYTHING! You cant see the ground, cars, trees, street... its NUTS! I thought when we decided to move to Vegas we would never see snow again but boy was I wrong! Its so good to see the white though, brings back great memories of Indiana weather!!
Everything else is going great here! I still hate hate hate not having a monitor to our computer but I can live! Nathan is doing great at work, he loves it which is good! I will try and keep every updated on things... here are a couple pictures from the party I stole from Chrissi!
So... our monitor is offically busted! So sad since its just a year old but it just stopped working! So we just bought a Wii, and Wii Fit and Mario cart and Wii play, plus 4 contollers so we really dont want to forked up the money to get a new monitor right now. Therefore, I cannot post any new pictures till that day comes. I am so bummed because we went to Disneyland last week during the Chirstmas decorations and I took lots of pictures, I cant post pictures from my bday, the girls birthdays are this weekend and now I cant post about that AND Christmas is almost here so I wont be able to put pictures of that up either... sad I know! I am extremely bummed! So sorry to all who check my blog regularly... I will try and convince my sweet husband to let me upload the pictures to his work computer so I can blog then!
I want to say congrats to all of my friends who are pregnant and a few of you (2 to be exact) who are pregnant with twins!!!! I am so excited for you!!! Twins are great let me know if you need any advice!!!
So please bare with me as blogs will be limited to just my boring writing or nothing at all! Sorry!
So, I cannot get on my computer at my house because our monitor does not work!!! AHh!! The internet was my life line to the world and now its gone! I made my husband bring home his computer from work so I could get on here for a bit!! But I had a wonderful birthday weekend and I will blog about that later with all the pictures... i didn't take many but I took some none the less! Hope everyone has a wonderful week and get out and go see TWILIGHT!!! Im so excited! A bunch of us from my relief society are going friday and I cant wait! I am scared that it is going to be horrible though... compared to the book but lets hope not!
My mom came to visit this week and it was so nice to be able to spend time with her!! Today was a sad day because her and my dad had to leave! Man I wish they lived closer!! Anyway, while she was here she helped me on my little book that I wanted to make for Jordan and Peyton. Its a book that will hopefully keep them quiet during church! Im very proud of it and it turned out great!! Its a little too thick so I think I am going to take it to Kinkos to see what they can do to turn it into a better, less thick book. But for now it will have to do! Here are a ton of pictures of my book! Please excuse the pictures of me and my mom, its was 1 in the morning and we were both very tired! Especially me, I look like death!! Ha! Enjoy!
Over the past 2 weeks or so we have gone to a little pumkin patch that was located in a Casino/Hotel parking lot, thats Vegas for you, we have carved pumpkins and tonight we went to the ward Halloween party. I love this time of season, it is just so fun planning things to do with the family and with all the Holidays coming up! It just makes me so happy and grateful for all the things I have! I have been blessed with an AMAZING husband who loves, absolutely LOVES, his family and would spend every minute with them and two beautiful daughters who complete me! This time of season really makes you think about family and what that word really means!...
Back to our past two weeks! So yea, we went to the pumpkin parking lot and picked out pumpkins. Here are so pictures from that parking lot. The girls did not know what to think of it! They did not like the hay when we sat them down, did not like the scary animals so basically we got the pumpkins and got outta there! It was fun though!
Mine
Sick I know!!! Its been in the 80's the past week and they just withered away!! They look like 90 year old men pumpkins! Sad, we had the throw them away tonight! The night before Halloween! So so tragic!
Jordan
Byron and Becki + Baby Luke!
The Fam, I LOVE this picture!
