Two Year Anniversary.. and a Baby on the way!!

Jon and I hit are two year anniversary mark a few weeks ago! It was great we had celebrated early by going down to San Diego for the weekend and then on the night of we went out to this great restaurant that played Jazz music for us. But really what made the day was hearing the heartbeat of our sweet baby to come!!! Yes it's true I am pregnant and have just hit my 12 weeks mark. We are super excited and felt very blessed to see that the baby was growing and had a heartbeat. We are so excited to start our family and I'm due on Nov. 19th!
It was the perfect anniversary and I am so lucky to have married such an amazingly sweet husband who takes care of me so well. I have been so appreciative of him while I have been sick and not able to eat most things, he does most the cooking right now and just knows how to make me happy!

P.S. The photo was done by Tara Bekker who is amazing, she just took these pictures of us a few weeks ago and I will be posting them next!

And Finally... a new post!

It has been too long since I have last blogged, I am unsure of even where to start. You know once you get out of the habit of doing something, it takes a lot more effort to even do it again! But I am back and will try to be better at updating.
Here is a glimpse of the things we have been up to these last few months.

We took a trip over to Arizona to spend spring break with my sister and her family. They had a really sweet house to stay at with memberships to the country club, where we spent most our time. I love being with these boys and my sister.


On our way back home, Jon and I popped over to Joshua Tree and took a little hike. We didn't have much time there, but we can't wait to make a camping trip out of it and rock climb.


Here is a picture of us on a local hike a few weeks ago with some friends, it was beautiful, however our destination was to make it to this great waterfall.. we made it but it was not much of a waterfall.
The picture is a bit blurry but it works.

A few weeks ago we ran the Cheeseboro Half Marathon.. and it was amazing. 7.5 miles of the race is all on trail, and unfortunately about 9 of the miles were all uphill. The course was absolutely beautiful and they had the best after half marathon party! Jon and I plan to run this course ever year we live out here.


Here we all are, Amber, Jon, Me and Bekah. We convinced Amber to run her first race, she did the 10k and was amazing, she is a natural runner. And Bekah joined us in the Half without even really training.. it was fun!And finally Jon and I went to San Diego Last week and met up with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins. We had a great time! Here we are just outside of the temple, which was absolutley gorgeous.Well that is all for now.. and I will try to get back on track with my posting.. thanks to all of you who have told me I need a new post!

At Last Christmas Pictures!

Jon and I took 2 1/2 weeks off to head to Utah and Colorado for the best Christmas Vacation Ever! I know that Christmas is long gone but it also looks like our camera cord that downloads our pictures to the computer is also long gone and it has taken me till now to find alternative measures. I now bring you to our Christmas Vacation!
First we spent time in Salt Lake with the Cook side for some parties.. in which I have no photos of but I am hoping to get some soon. Then we went to my sister Jill's house in Colorado where we played games, stayed up late, hot-tubed, played in the snow, working out.. you name it we did it, and then we stayed in the Nelson's sweet cabin in Hobble Creek(thank you thank you Nelsons) where we played massive amounts of guitar hero, played with friends and I watched Jon do cranberry shots every morning! It was a great time!

You may not know this but Jon was Santa this year!

Just call us crazy!

My first night in Grand Junction Colorado, my sister informs me... we are running tommorrow at 6 a.m., for those of you that know me that is already a crazy idea but I love the way you feel after running and wanted to go. We got up in the morning got dressed and in the car only to find out it was -1 Degrees outside.. and yes we still ran our 3 miles.

Here we all are before the run!

And the after photo... I think white mascara could be a really good look for me!

Turkey Weekend Fun

I know it's past Thanksgiving but Jon and I made Homemade Rolls as part of our feast and I have to post a picture due to the fact that we were so proud of ourselves. We did Thanksgiving with Amber and Chris and their family and also with another couple in the ward so we divided everything up. Jon and I cooked together from 11-3.. it made for some great memories! All of the food that was made was super delicious! The rest of the weekend Jon and I just relaxed and enjoyed the sun.. can you believe it is still warm here I am still in shock these pictures are from the end of November!

Craft world here I come??

So I would not consider myself in particular a crafty person but I sure am going to try! The other night I made these cute little hair clips with my friend Claire!They are so cute and so easy to make! So I also bought material and have great plans to make bibs, burp clothes, and aprons.. I'll keep you posted as to how that all goes!

Vote Tommorrow.. Yes on Prop 8

So here is a little picture of our lovely Prop 8 sign, this is our fourth sign as the rest have been stolen. This sign however lasted 2 weeks, we glued it to the wood, stapled it on, and then screwed it into the tree, I thought for sure this one would be the winner, but sadly to say last Friday it was spray painted. Don't worry though we now have our fifth and last sign way up in the tree, nobody will be able to touch this one! This week has been crazy as we have done two Prop 8 rally's, one on Saturday and one tonight, no matter what happens it just feels good to stand up for what you believe in.. Go Prop 8!!
