allyson is going to be...

A BIG SISTER!

Due March 20th:)

I am a little over 11 weeks. Morning sickness hit me FULL FORCE starting at week 5. I have been super sick:( oh the joys of pregnancy! pregnancy is so horrible for me that I am seriously debating being DONE with two! we'll see:) and all you women who 'enjoy' pregnancy, I HATE YOU. seriously.

on a more positive note, I am super excited for a new baby! can't wait:)

25

I kinda took a few weeks off of blogging in August, so I also missed my birthday! The big 2-5 on August 15th. Man, I feel old. I had a great day...my sisters gift was an hour long massage and then my dad took us all out to Olive Garden for dinner! This is the only pic I got of the day...a cell phone pic from ash! haha.

On this birthday, I am feeling very blessed. I have an education, , an awesome house, a wonderful husband with a good job, a gorgeous daughter who makes me smile every day (who I get to stay home with every day!), great friends, a family who loves me, and most of all - the gospel in my life. I just hope I can live worthy of all of these blessings:)

summa time

So I was watching CMT Countdown this morning and this video was #3. I just love it:) reminds me of summertime and goodtimes:)

And a sweet sidenote: they interviewed Jake Owen during the countdown, and it turns out that the guy wakeboarding in the video is actually him! awesome.

an addition to the family...

not the kind you are thinking!

my sister Alissa moved in with us last week, attending ASU (go sundevils!). she is a good helper and we are glad to have her:) i think allyson might like it the best though...she likes aunt wissa better than her parents! she about had a heart attack when lissa left for school this morning. hurry up and come home so we can play aunt wissa!

happy anniversary to my love!

I am a couple weeks late on posting this, but better late than never, right? August 10th marked five years for Ben & I. It has been the best five years and it seems to have to flown by. Ben and I don't typically make our anniversary a big deal, so I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to this! Along with a card that almost made me cry:)

He made me dinner earlier in the week and the night of our actual anniversary, Uncle Richard watched Allyson while we went to a movie. We watched 17 Miracles (movie about the pioneers which was awesome). I hadn't been to a movie in forever so it was nice to get out!

I can truly say that I married my best friend. No one else can make me smile and laugh the way he does:) He is the BEST daddy and husband and I love the fact that I get to spend eternity with him:) Love you babe!

annual trip to Roosevelt!

If you are a fan of my blog, then you know that this trip happens every year! family, food, boating, beautiful SRP homes WITH A/C, great views, awesome monsoon storms, card playing...do you see why my family continues this tradition?! :-)
