Nicole & Olivia

So my best friend since 6th grade finally got to be with her husband. Her husband is in the army and for the past two years of their married she has only seen him a few times. Well they got stationed out in Colorado Springs, Colorado and they left at the end of July. Their little girl Olivia is Jaces girl friend and his best friend. We both miss Olivia and Nicole so much. A week before Nicole and Liv moved we went to 7 peaks and hung out, we had so much fun.

I had a month to prepare for Colie and Liv to move and everyday it got harder. I would be doing my make-up and randomly start crying thinking about them moving. Driving, looking at pictures, hearing jace say their name.... you name it, and it reminded me of them moving and I cried. It was a super hard month for me. Reed laughed at me a lot in that month. It has been just over a month since we have seen them and it is KILLING me. We just moved 4 houses down from where they lived and I HATE that I can't see my best friend everyday. On the bright side, I guess it gives me a chance for a good vacation. I LOVE YOU COLIE & LIV! WE LOVE YOU COLIE AND LIV!!!

California

I can officially say that I have been to California! It has been a dream (lame dream I know) to go and see the ocean ever since I was a wee little girl. Reed's dad decided to send Reed out to a seminar that was in California for a week to gain more knowledge and training on some Hot tubs, well the original plan was that Reed would go down by himself and I would stay home with Jace.... So he thought. There was no way in you know where that I was going to sit back and watch my hubby go to California without me. So we talked to his dad and asked if it was okay and what do ya know, it was! We decided that we were going to drive down and oh boy what a journey that was. We picked up Shane in Springville and then started our Journey at 9 in the morning, well 5-10 minutes on the road a car cut us off and hit our car... we were all okay but my car now has more battle wounds. Finally after about 10 hours of driving we arrived in Orange Califonia at Reeds aunts house! Anyhow, long story short, the wheather was AWFUL ugly the week we were down there and so we were not able to be outside to much. On the days that were a little better wheather we went to the beach and did lots of shopping. Over all it was such an amazing vacation and it was so nice to step away from all of the dad to day drama and breath for a bit.

Easter 2012

This year Reed and I were so lazy with Easter that we forgot to let the easter bunny know that Jace was a good boy and deserved a easter basket, so sadly the easter bunny did not come and visit us this year, BUT thats okay, I covered it for him. This year for easter I snuck out to the store and got Jace some much needed things, CANDY & EGGS of coarse. On Friday I got a call from my sister asking if she and my brother and sis in law and their kids could come down from Eagle Mountain and stay the night so that they can make it out to all of the fun easter egg hunts here in Pleasant grove, I said yes and oh my goodenss what a mad house it was, but it was so much fun! We colored eggs and laughed and had so much fun. The next day we all got up super early and hit up smiths for a candy hunt, then Lindon park for eggs, and than pleasant grove discovery park for more eggs and than Maceys for a hawaiin feast. Than Sunday we had a nice relaxing evening over at Jenn and Barrys for a delisious easter dinner. SUCH a crazy but fun filled easter weekend.


Mother & Daughter

Cousins causing trouble!!


Cousins all wore out after a long morning of hunting for eggs and candy!

HUGE update!

Well ya'all it is nearly december! YAY! I am so stoked for christmas! So much has happened since september when I last updated. Jesse and Lisa moved in right upbove us upstairs and had Michelle move in as well. So now I have two girls to talk to all the time and one really lame brother... haha. No but it has been hard but nice having them up their. With every couple comes arguing and so when they argue reed and I have to deal with it. But Jace just LOVES that they are up there. He will stand at the bottom of the stairs and yell 'Jesse'. Moving on... Halloween came and went so super fast. The ideas that we had were so good of what to be this year but I had gotten super sick and did not feel like doing much of anything for halloween so half hour before the family party started i got up from sleepin all day and through on some facial hair and dressed up as a cowboy, same with Jace. reed dressed up as a lumber jack! He was super sexy too!



and moving on... I also had the chance to meet my neice. For all ya'all that don't know Jesse has a beautiful baby girl named Brooklynn she is almost 1. Jesse has been fighting for his rights to see his daughter and he has finally been given the chance, so here she is.



I visited my daddy last week and found this Oh SO cute picture of me hangin on his wall. Reed said I look super dorky but I think I am cute! Cute, cute,cute!!! I look so much like my dad though it is really weird.

Also my baby boy turned 2 years old. I cannot believe how fast two years has gone by. I was going through some photos and videos of Jace as he has grown up and I started to cry becuase it seriously seems like yesterday that we welcomed this beautiful, fun spirited little man into our lives. Time needs to slow the crap down. But for his birthday we had everyone over to the house and just had fun hangin out together. We had a quiz about Jace and the winner was his Aunt Jenn. Jenn is like a second mom to jace and he just loves her and barry so much. We are grateful for the wonderful family and examples that Jace has to look up to. But as we started to sind to Jace he started to cry. Poor guy. There were probably about 15 or more people there so I think he just got frightened but it was the cutest thing ever.

Night night Jace Allen

Every night around 8 o'clock Jace will usually grab his sippy cup and his diaper and bring it all to me so that I can take him to bed. He is such a happy lil guy when it comes to bed time. The video explains it all.

See what I mean. Also sometimes as I try and walk out of the room so he can sleep he says will quietly say 'mommy' and I will say what? and he just jabbers off for a minute and than says I love you. Melts my heart every time. I LOVE this video! I am so grateful for my little boy!

Time & all Eternity!!!

K ya'all! We sealed the deal! GO US! As we were working with our bishop I got the idea that I think it would be really cool to celebrate our third anniversary receiving our endowments, so bishop said he agrees and so on August 30, 2011 we went to the temple and received our endowments! That was such an AMAZING experience. I wish I could go back right now and do it all over again, but sadly instead I am sitting my butt in school bored as crap! :)and I must say I have the best sister in law in the world, I had asked Jenn if she would be my escort through the temple, and I am so blessed to be able to call her my sister! She is the best. Thanks Jenn for everything. A couple days later which was Friday September 2nd Reed and I were able to be sealed together and than they brought in my baby! Can I just tell you how AMAZING that is. Little jace was so cute all dressed in white. He had the sweetest little spirit about him to. At first little Jace did not really want to stand by the altar by himself and he kept saying mommy. Than I held him and sat him next to me and the second we put his hand on ours he was instantly calm, my goodenss amazing! Than the craziness began ALL day Saturday trying to get our reception put together. It turned out to be beautiful and a wonderful evening!

VACATION!!!

What more needs to be said... I finally got to go on vacation. Ya sure it could have been better BUT I had an awesome time hangin out with just the girls, and kids. Annika(family frined) decided she wanted to move to Texas with some family... so she needed help getting down there so we took a road trip and moved Annika down there. We left early monday and there began our two day long car ride to Houston. The first stop we made was in Moad or right outside of moad at the 'HOLE IN THE ROCK' So very cool. The first night we needed to stay in a Hotel so we stopped in Roswell NM,(Crazy Alien city) I tell ya these people in this city are CRAZY!!! Than the end of Tuesday we made it to the HOT HUMIDE city of Houston TX. Wednesday we got up and went to the Aquarium with the kids. This aquarium was awesome, and the outside had a ferris wheel, a carasel, and a water park. So cool. Than on Thursday we headed down to Galeveston, and......... I finally got to go to the beach. The water was so amazingly warm. We had a blast. On our way back to houston we stopped at the ship harbor... and we road a ferry! We got up Saturday morning and headed out to San Antonio! So GORGEOUS! We did the river walk and saw went to the Allamo. and we stopped in New Mexico and stayed the night with Angie and Chad.(Reed and Jenn's Cousins.) They have the cutest boys. I have never seen little boys so well mannered. So cute. Thank you Angie and Chad. Ya'all are awesome. and during the car ride, the boys were such sweethearts. They had so much fun together. and we finally arrived home late sunday night. I must say a week is a long time to be away from your honey! I missed Reed so gosh dang much. Before bed Jace and I would look at pictures of Reed and give kisses and I would cry. I missed him so much! I love you Reed Allen White.
