going private

I am going to finally go private, so if you want an invite, leave me your email address :)

Ears pierced and more!

Yesterday was a fun day! we spent the day hanging out as a family :) we pulled weeds...went to mall and walked around, and Emree got her ears pierced! she did so good! she screamed for 2 min, and then she was done! she took it like a champ! I was more scared than she was! I made Darrell hold her, lol! thank goodness for the lady who talked to me while Emree's ears were pierced, so I wouldn't have to think about it! it was a fun, and good day!

6 years!!!!

I can't believe it has been six years since Darrell and I got married!! All I can say is I am so happy with him! He is my rock, and my strength! Even though we are going through tough times right now because he is in school, and I just barely went back to work from maternity leave, there is not a day that goes by that he doesn't tell me that everything is going to be ok! I believe in him, and I trust him with my whole heart and soul! we have grown so strong, and we have our amazing kids to thank! they have showed us so much love! I am thankful for the gospel in our lives that we are able to know that we can and will be together for Eternity! I love you baby, you are amazing, and I wouldn't want our life to be any other way! like I always say "we are living on love"

Emree

My Pretty Princess had her 2 month check up, and she is in the 80th percentile! she is such a big girl!

She is growing up so fast! she has the cutest smiles, and loves to watch Talin! she always gets a grin on her face when we talks to her! she is cooing now too! she will try and copy the sounds we make! we love this little girl so much, and are so happy that she is a part of our family!

Talin's 4th birthday

Talin Turned 4 on Friday February 17th! I can't believe it, he is getting so big! It makes me feel old, or that I just keep getting older and older! It is so hard for me to think of my kids growing up, and going to school. That will be Talin next year, a big ol' kindergartner! so crazy! well this year we didn't really do a birthday party, but we had a family one, and it was tons of fun being there together to celebrate the birth of our amazing, smart, handsome, lovable, and stubborn little man! we love him so much and couldn't ask for a better boy! Happy birthday Bubba Ray we love you eternally!

Emree's Blessing Day 2/6/11

On Sunday Emree was blessed! it was such a wonderful blessing, and of course a very spiritual day! All my family was able to come, but we sure did miss some of Darrell's family that were not able to make it! we love our families and friends so much, and don't know what we would do without them! they are our strength, and have helped Darrell and I through some of our toughest times! We LOVE you all!

Snowboarding trip

Darrell finally got to go snowboarding this year! He has been wanting to go so bad, and then the ward did an elders quorum trip to Sunrise! Not very many people went, but they still had a blast! Darrell had a pretty good fall, but that didn't stop him from having a good time! He also got to go again on Friday with a buddy of his from school, and had tons of fun! lucky guy! both time he has gone since we have been married, I was either pregnant, or just had the baby! next year is MY year :)

Emree Marie- 12/24/2010

We Finally had our pretty Princess!!
Here is her story:
So the plan we originally had was to have her the second week in Dec, that way she wouldn't be born so close to Christmas, We walked and walked, and did just about everything to try and get her out! my doc knew how bad I wanted to have her, so she stripped my membranes at 38 weeks....but nothing happened! at my next appt she said I could do an induction, but the only opening they had was on the 23rd and it was at night, so I would still end up being in the hospital on Christmas! So Darrell and I decided to just wait and let her come on her own, and hopefully she would wait until after Christmas! Talin was so excited for Christmas this year, and I really wanted to be home for it! Well on the 23rd I was at work, and was having the same contractions that I have had for awhile, and they were not consistent AT ALL! I got home, and we went and did some last min Christmas shopping, and then went out to eat, but by that point my contractions were getting stronger, but still like 15-20 min apart, and then they would be like 7 min, then 12, then 5! they were just very inconsistent, but they were hurting! So I told Darrell that maybe we should wrap all the presents tonight just in case. So we started wrapping, and they started being consistently 8 min apart, and hurting pretty bad. We were done wrapping at about 11pm, and then went to bed....well I tried, but they were pretty bad. I didn't want to go to the hospital and them tell me to go home, so I waited them out, until about 12:45 I decided to get in the shower, and see if that helped, but.....it didn't! I had like 4 contractions in the shower about 3 min apart! I yelled at Darrell to wake up, we were going to the hospital! its a good thing we went when we did, because 20 min after we got to the hospital, this was about 2:30 in the morning. they told me to walk for a little bit, because I was only at a 4. I could barely walk the contractions hurt so bad, and they were like 2 min apart. we didn't even get around the floor when my water broke right at the nursing station! not fun at all!!! everything went so fast from that point, and we had our pretty girl at 6:05 am!
