birthday, first year pictures, bridal fairs!

2011-10-05T17:47:00.000-07:00

tyson and i have been busy putting together booths for the provo and south towne expo bridal fairs, as many of you know tyson does likeness sculptures, he decided to make and sale some custom wedding cake toppers, unfortunately i don't have any pictures of them but if you want to you can go look at his website, it is www.clayconcepts.net he has all of his work that he has done. the fairs went really good and the response was amazing. so if y0u know of anyone that is getting married or just wants a really good birthday/wedding/anniversary/etc... gifts let us know, he can pretty much do anything!!

for some reason when i upload this picture it flips sideways sorry i can't figure out why!! so this was wyatt's cake for his birthday! my brother in law works with a lady that makes cakes and she did such a good job on his cake and it tasted way good too!!

we had his first year pictures taken, my amazing auntie launa took them and she did such a good job. we got to the park that we planned on taking the pictures at and it was closed so we went to a different one and we got all set up with everything, took a few pictures and the sprinklers turned on, on us!! wyatt started crying and from there on he refused to be happy, i had my mom come with me thinking that she would be able to help make him laugh, well it was just the opposite, he held on to her for dear life, he refused to move an inch away from her and would cry if she tried putting him down, we finally sat him down and made him dig into a little cake that we brought with us and about ten minutes after he ate some sugar he finally calmed down and we got some really good pictures!! here are just a few, she took like 300 pictures so it was hard to choose which ones to put on here!!

this one is my favorite one!!

(below)

for wyatt's birthday we went to bicentennial park in provo and had pulled pork sandwiches with salad chips and drinks, wyatt was super tired and so he didn't dive into his cake like i thought he would, but he did pretty good! he got tons of toys and clothes, he is defiantly a very spoiled/loved little boy!! i am so grateful to have him in my life, he brings me such joy i love being his mom, he is the best baby in the world!!

lincoln was such a good helper, he helped wyatt open his presents!

i love this picture of wyatt and his great grandma marge!!

that's pretty much been our life the past month or so busy busy busy, it's been good though!! also I'm pretty excited breaking dawn comes out and guess who has tickets to the midnight showing!! that's right ladies, its me!! i know you're all jealous!!

he thinks he bigger then he really is!!

2011-06-07T15:42:00.000-07:00

i went outside to water my plant and when i came back in this is what i saw wyatt doing!! he was mad that i left him inside so i guess he decided to follow me. the little stinker cant crawl but he is climbing the stairs. he also walks along the couch, around the coffee table and ottoman. i'm not sure if he will crawl or just end up walking!! he loves to pull himself up to the couch so he can be standing!!!

each day he learns something new!! he brings such a joy into our home and lives, i can't imagine what our life would be like without him!! i'm so blessed to have him as my son, i love being a mom!!

life

2011-04-24T21:16:00.001-07:00

wyatt does something new on a daily basis! his first tooth finally popped through on the 24th of march and his second one came a week later! he got so use to me holding him and loving him for several weeks while he was teething that now he thinks he needs me to hold him and play with him all the time. he has picked up screaming just for fun, he screams when you don't pay attention to him, he screams at his toys, he screams when you don't feed him fast enough, he just loves to scream, and he is not quiet when he screams, it is an ear piercing little girl scream but i love it!!! he rolls all over the place, i can't leave him on the bed, he has rolled off of it 3 times (you think i would learn) even if you place pillows and blankets around him he somehow wiggles through them!! he tries so hard to crawl, and he gets frustrated when he cant move where he wants to. he has started to try and pull himself up to the couch and he gets mad when he can't, so i hold out my hands and he grasps them and pulls himself up, i wonder if he will figure out walking before he crawls!!

tyson and i went with my sister and her husband to Zions National Park on Easter weekend, we left wyatt with my mom which was hard cause i've never left him for longer then a night but it was nice to have sometime away! we got there at like 1 in the morning and set up camp and went straight to bed, we woke up the next morning and hiked angels landing, it was super hard...well for my sister and i, it was worth it though. we started the hike at 11 that morning and finished at 4:30 in the afternoon, after that we sat in the pool for a few hours then made tin foil dinners and went to bed, it rained all that night but stopped as soon as we got up for breakfast, we headed home later that morning after we did some shopping in town!! we had tons of fun and i think i want another vacation, that just wasn't long enough, though it was long enough away from wyatt, i missed him so much!!

on easter sunday we went to my parents house and they had a little easter egg hunt for everyone!! wyatt made a haul! actually all of these eggs aren't his we just dumped them all over him and got pictures!!

i love this picture he is such a cute baby, i love him to death, he brings so much joy into our lives. you can't really see is easter outfit but it is super cute (thanks to grandma cork!!)

the best day of my life!

2011-04-11T10:19:00.000-07:00

3 years ago today i married the most wonderful man in the world, it was the best day of my life! i am so grateful for him and all that he does for me and our son. he is the most loving person i have ever met in my life and i am the luckiest woman in the world to have him as my husband. tyson is the man he is today because of the way he was raised, i am eternally grateful to his parents for the exceptional son they raised. i love him to death and i am excited for what the future holds for our family!

mr wyatt

2011-01-30T18:32:00.000-08:00

wyatt is now 4 months old, almost 5, he now weighs 19.2 lbs and probably even closer to 20 since

we went to the doctor at the first of the month. i asked the doctor if wyatt could have rice in his bottles because he was eating 6-7 ounces every hour and a half, he was constantly hungry, but the doctor told me he would try not to but if i couldn't handle feeding him that often then i could use my own discretion, but not to feed him any solids until he is 6 months old. well i tried putting the rice in the formula in his bottle but it didn't seem to help at all, so i decided i wasn't going to

listen to the doctor instead i took my family's advice.

i started to feed him just the rice cereal!! he loves it, he eats so much of it too, i couldn't believe how much he ate the first time i feed it to him, and he is a natural, he didn't spit it out at all!! i only feed it to him at night before he goes to bed, now during the day he eats every 2-3-4 hours which is nice!! he is also rolling over, from his back to his tummy, the doctor said that it is rare that big babies roll from back to tummy first. he was also surprised at how strong wyatt is and how social he is!! he rolled off our ottoman a few days after he learned to roll over luckily our bean bag was there to catch him!!

he loves his bumbo chair!!
he also loves to stand up now, he thinks he is such a big boy when he stands up!!!

tonight grandma gave him his first haircut while he was sleeping!! now it is nice and even and it doesn't look so messy!!!

i can't remember if in my last post if i said we had moved to provo, but we have!!!! and we love it, it's been nice to be on our own again, though i miss being able to just give him to my mom for a few minutes while i needed a break. i also quit my job so i am now a full time mom!! i love to be able to spend all day with my little man!! it is such a joy to be a mom to him!! tyson is still working and going to school, he love's his teachers and he is now on the honor roll!!!

wyatt's blessing

2010-12-15T12:41:00.001-08:00

we blessed waytt on december 5th, tyson gave him such a wonderful blessing. im so grateful to have a husband that is a worthy priesthood holder that can give blessings whenever needed! wyatt is now 3 months old and getting bigger everyday! he wears 6-9 month clothing and he weighs about 17 lbs!! he goes to bed at 10:30 every night and wakes up around 6:30-7 in the morning and eats for about 20 minutes then goes back to bed till 8 or 9!! he is such a happy baby he usually only crys when he is hungry tired or needs his diaper changed. he is grabbing at objects that are in front of him, he loves his bounce chair that has his toys on it, he will sit and talk to them forever!! he loves his fists, he trys to put his whole hand in his mouth, he also loves to scratch his face, i have to put mittens on his hands because he has got his eye a couple of times
he still loves his bath time, he makes me laugh until im crying every time i bath him because he gets so excited, he splashes his water out of is tub everytime!! he also loves to be in just his diaper, he kicks his legs and moves his arms so fast when he is naked!! i can never record any of this though because as soon as the camera is out and he notices it, he stops everything and just sits there looking at it, he is a little stinker but we love him to death!!!

wyatt

2010-11-05T16:23:00.001-07:00

wyatt loves his bath time, he has pretty much out grown his bath tub, he splashes water every where when he is in it. we have put him in the big bath a few times and just held his head out of the water and he wiggles like crazy!! i think he is going to be a little fish and love the water like his mom!!
i absolutely love this picture because of his fat belly and double chin!!
he was a dinosaur for halloween, this is the best picture i have of him, he didn't really like his costume, but i am going to go have some professional pictures taken of him in it and his blessing outfit, which i just bought today and he looks so freakin cute in it!!
one of the girls that i work with bought him this hat and he looks so stinkin cute in it, i love it!!
he has is two month appointment on tuesday and he has to have few shots which im not excited for, i can't wait to find out how much he weighs and what percentile he is in!! he is such a big boy i love it. he usually sleeps about 5 1/2-6 hours each night which has been great! he is growing out of his 3 month clothes already and is not wearing either 3-6 months or 6 month clothes, he is growing way to fast!! tyson and i love being parents and wyatt brings so much happiness into our lives!!

just a few pictures!

2010-09-29T16:35:00.000-07:00

my aunt launa took pictures of wyatt, and a few of us, this is our favorite of all of us together.

this is one of my favorite pictures of him. he is really starting to get fat, i love his fat rolls.

my mom suggested that we use tyson's skateboard for a few pictures and they turned out so stinkin cute!!

this one is another one of my favorites of him!! he was so good during all of this, he slept through most of the pictures and when he woke up he was happy and not fussy at all. he is such a good baby, we couldn't ask for a better little boy, we love him to death!!

Wyatt James Van Wagoner

2010-09-13T16:04:00.000-07:00

this is my last pregnancy picture, i am 40 weeks and 4 days. we had to be at the hospital at 7 in the morning, this is me in the waiting room, waiting to check in. we were there at 7 and it only took us a few minutes to check in, we then went to our room where we were suppose to only wait like 45 minutes to start the c-section but they got backed up, so we ended up going in at like 9:30, they wouldn't let tyson in the room with me when i got the epidural which i didn't like at all, i got really nervous being there by myself. after i got the epidural they strapped me down and got me all ready to go and then they let tyson come in. they started the surgery at 10:21 and Wyatt was born at 10:27

he weighed 10 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long!! when they typed his weight into the computer it rounded it up to 11 pounds!!

when they stitched me up and wheeled me back into my room wyatt was in the nursery, i only got to see him for a few seconds before they took him away and they i had to wait in my room for like 45 minutes before they finally brought him to me. this is me holding him for the first time.

tyson is a very proud daddy!! he was awesome our entire stay at the hospital, he changed all of his diapers and never complained about it at all!!

grandpa van holding wyatt for the first time!

wyatt on his way home!!

im ready, he's not!!!

2010-08-25T15:46:00.000-07:00

i'm putting this picture on here against my better judgement, i think i look huge!!

i went to the doctor last week and he told me i was 50% effaced and not dilated at all, i was fine with that because i still had 3 weeks to go. i went to him again yesterday and i am 50% effaced and not dilated, i wasn't to happy when i left the doctors office, and all night it kept wearing on me, i have been happy to be pregnant this whole time but this last week has really worn on me, by the time i get home from work i hurt pretty bad so i was hoping the doctor would have better news for me this week but when he told me i haven't progressed i was a little mad, but today i've accepted that my baby is probably just as stubborn as the rest of us Stubbs and he is going to come when he is ready!! i did ask the doctor if he would start me on the 5th if i haven't come by then but he said that he won't start me because if i'm not ready then inducing doesn't usually work and you end up having to have c-section, so i have to go a week over before he will start me!! i'm hoping and praying i don't go over that far!!

so the past few weeks i've been trying to get everything set up for when the baby gets here! i have set up his little room and put everything in it's place, i re-arranged things a few times until i've gotten it exactly the way i want. we will keep him in our room for a few weeks before we actually use the crib. i honestly just can't wait until he comes!

my grandpa made me this rocking chair!! i love it so much, i just need to get a little cushion for the seat but other then that its super comfortable, i can't wait to rock my baby in it!! but for now its my reading chair!!

this is the crib quilt my mom made me, its super soft and cute, there are different animals, a goldfish, duck, giraffe, whale, elephant, pig, sheep, dog, cat, hippo, bear, zebra, rabbit, frog, dinosaur, and a turtle they are all made out of the minke fabric and they are super soft! she spent a lot of time on it and i love it, and i'm sure our baby will too!!

these are just a couple of the animals!!

7 1/2 more weeks...but whos counting?!

2010-07-15T20:51:00.000-07:00

i dont have any pictures of my prego belly, well my mom does but i really don't want to go get them to upload on here so you will have to do without!! lately i've been getting the pregnancy comments and i don't really appreciate them!! i honestly don't think i look that huge, maybe i am just lying to myself and i really do look like i am having triplets!! but as long as my doctor keeps telling me i am measuring perfect for how far along i am, then that's who i will listen to.

i've always found it amusing when pregnant woman waddle!! now i know why they do it!! i never really thought i would ache to bad, but standing on my feet for a few hours everyday kills me, luckily my hours have been cut back and its super slow so i don't have to stand or walk around too much, though i don't feel very productive at work, but i will make up for it when i go back!!

i am super excited for this baby to get here, everyone keeps telling me that i will wish it back inside after he is here, but i really don't think that i will, i honestly can't wait for him to come, i can't wait for all of the experiences that are heading our way, i don't get much sleep right now and i know its the lord preparing me for when he actually gets here, i hate my sleep being disturbed so i know that these past few weeks of not being able to get much sleep and always being super tired is the lords way of showing me that my sleep really isn't that important, though i know i will gladly lose sleep over the baby when he gets here.

my mom took me shopping a few days ago and we got a few things that i will need including a stroller and car seat and i cant wait to use it, all of our stuff is just sitting there waiting for him to come. everytime i get something new for him i can't wait to show tyson, though he never shows any enthusiasm for the cute outfits, shoes and accessories, he tells me i can't get mad because he is just more excited for the baby to come, he doesn't really care about the things we have to have for him, it doesn't really bother me because i know tyson is going to be the best dad in the entire world. if anyone has any advice on how NOT to get poop on your hands tyson will be very happy, he says he will die if he ever gets human poop on his hands!! and i wont be surprised if i show up one day and he has a gas mask on with gloves changing the baby's diaper!!

well i am hoping the next few weeks go by super fast and i hope that this baby decides to come early i am so ready to be a mom!!

it's a baby....

2010-04-22T20:35:00.000-07:00

we went to the doctor today to have our ultrasound and find out what that baby is! i've been worried that something might not be 100% right with the baby, not that i have any reason to worry about that but i just have. the guy that did the ultrasound first started out searching every part of the baby to make sure every thing looked healthy and whole, we got to look at the brain, spine, kidney's, heart, and stomach, and i was reassured that everything looked and measured to be completely normal! he also made sure everything looked good with me making sure i didn't have any cysts or placenta previa which i don't! it was amazing to be able to see the four chambers in the heart and to see that working correctly, it was also cool to see the ateries that are connected to the umbilical cord and through out the body! according to the measurements of the baby i am due september 5th at 7 AM!! haha not that that will ever turn out to be correct but i thought it was funny that he put a time with the date! though tyson thinks it would really be nice if i did go on september 5th because we could miss church, and all of our families could miss church and have a good excuse!! haha i thought that was funny when he said that!! anywhoo thats kinda what's been going on in our life!!

OH WAIT, i almost forgot to mention the most important part the baby's gender...its a BOY!!! and tyson and i could not be more happy. i think tyson is super excited because now he is going to have a little buddy he can teach to shoot guns, go camping and hunting with and do whatever it is boys like to do!! im also happy because i think i might be a better mom to boys then girls because i don't think i can handle to drama/emotional sides of girls, unless i get girls like me then they will be absolutely perfect!!! that sounds really vain, good thing im not being serious!! i'm really excited to see what the next year has in store for our growing family and i am super excited for this little boy to get here!!
p.s i wanted to put pictures up of the ultrasound but my scanner is not working so you have to make due with out until i can get it to work!

update!!

2010-02-02T13:21:00.000-08:00

i'm not very good at keeping up to date on this thing. the past few months a lot of things have changed in our lives. we moved in with my parents, its been an easier transition then i thought it would be, at least for me, im not really sure if its beem easy on tyson or my parents, but we are grateful that we have such great families that help us out in so many ways.

tyson started school at UVU and he really enjoys it and he has done amazing on all of his tests and homework. he is taking math english criminal justice and an automobile class. he really enjoys that criminal justice class, his teacher is a retired FBI agent so he has some really cool stories and tyson really enjoys it and is thinking he might want to go into that field!! im personally a little jealous because i've always wanted to be an FBI agent or work in special victims or something, but maybe this way i can kinda live it through my hubby while i get to be a mom which is something i'm really looking forward to!!

i'm still working at mr mac and i do enjoy it for the most part!! i'm also trying to keep up on my dad's job as well, though i have been slacking the last few months but i'm getting better at working since we've moved in with my parents.

we had a calling the first week we moved into the ward, we are primary teachers, i know big surprise, we are teaching the 6 and 7 year olds and we only have 4 kids that come and they are super hyper, we have had to start a "good star/bad star" chart so that if they earn enough good stars we have a class party, we just started it last week and it worked really well!!

for those of you who don't already know tyson and i are expecting a baby, im due on the 5th of september and as of today i'm 9 weeks. i've been sick and really tired, but my doctor just told me about some medicine that helps morning sickness and it has a mild sleep aid in it, so i take it at night and its suppose to help, i guess i'll have to see if it will! tyson and i are really excited, though i think tyson is more excited then me, don't get me wrong i am excited its just hard to enjoy being pregnant when your sick all the time!!! hopefully when i can actually start feeling the baby move it will really sink in that i am actually pregnant, until then the sickness is the constant reminder that i've got this baby inside me!!

we are excited for what this next year is going to bring for our little family and i can't wait until september!!

halloween!!!

2009-11-15T10:38:00.000-08:00

this year we were our miis (from the wii)

so i know it's been awhile since halloween but i don't ever take pictures with my own camera so i had to get these pictures from my mom, and i am putting last halloween pictures up too, because i failed to do that last year. so for halloween my mom's side of the family always throws a party and this year my mom had it at her house and we have this mystery dinner i'll try and explain it the best i can but it is super fun, i look forward to it every year!! so everyone gets a menu and it is a three course meal, but instead of the actual name of the food/drink/utensil there is a mystery name for it, so you have to figure out exactly what each of them mean, and you don't know what food has been cooked either so you are totally clueless as to what everything means, and sometimes you don't think it would be very hard but believe me it gets pretty confusing, for example here are some of the items we had on our menu:
guts of an oinker (ham), cooked underground parts(potatoes), blended remains, swamp garva (sprite/kool-aid), catapillar crawls (greenbeans) greasy yeast(roll w/butter), moon glow (water w/orange slice), tenedor (i think this was the fork), blob of brown(brownie), creepy crawlers on a log(celery with pb and choc chips), ghostly cool down, and cuchara(the spoon i think). so you have to write down your first second and third course meal, and then one course at a time you get your food, so some people would get ham potatoes and a roll but nothing to eat it with, then others would get their fork and spoon and a drink but nothing else, while others did really well and they had ham potatoes and a fork. its pretty entertaining!!

these are last years pictures, we were a pregnant nun and a preist!!

the joys of working at mr mac

2009-10-23T09:00:00.000-07:00

some of my favorite reasons why i love to work at mr mac (only a certain amount of people might be able to relate)

1. listening to dave haden (the witty australian store manager) tell his outlandish lies, for example: (let me just give you a little back ground history, mr mac was out of missionary sweaters/sweater vests for about 6 months and we kept telling the missionary moms that they would be in, "in about two weeks") #1 favorite lie: mom comes in a little upset because we still haven't received our shipment of sweaters and we keep telling her "two weeks", she asks to talk to our manager, enters dave, quote (in australian accent), "ohh the boat has been docked in san francisco for about two weeks and the captain wont pay the port fee so they can't unload the ship, i have sent two of our men down there to pay the fee and get those sweaters here!!" i don't know if these people actually believe him but they seem to walk away happy, all the while all the employees try not to laugh. #2 favorite lie: (still dealing with sweaters, jennie told me about this one i didn't actually witness it but it's sure funny) mom calls on phone wanting to know when the sweaters are going to be in, jennie asks dave, dave says "tell her that the boat got caught in hurricane katrina and that we lost the shipment of sweaters" i'm pretty sure jennie thinks this is a ridiculous idea but she tells the lady on the phone what dave says, needless to say that is one lie the customer didn't believe!! #3 favorite lie: this happened about 2 days ago, a mom and her daughter bought several of the same tie for the daughter's wedding, we only had 3 or 4 in stock, dave tells tyler that we can get more of the ties in from our sales rep it wont be a problem, well tyler proceeds to tell this to the poor girl getting married, she needed like 10 extra ties. we went to the warehouse on wednesday (dave's day off mind you) and find out that we cant get anymore of these ties in tyler was pretty ticked off. well thursday rolls around and the mom and daughter are back for their ties, jennie calls tyler (who was like seven hours late to work that day) tyler tells jennie to talk to dave, (enters dave with a total different tie, a tie we actually sell to the chef table waiters) quote " ok heres the deal they (they-being the tie makers) sent me your ties but they came in red instead of burgundy, they are a totally different color, not even close to what you want, the dye they make the ties with must have been completely mixed up, BUT they sent me this gorgeous tie instead, now i know its a different tie but it is just gorgeous, it has the black and burgundy to it with a little white, i think it will look just perfect, plus this is an all silk tie we sell for a lot more money but i will give it to you for the same price, and i have enough in stock and i've put them in the back so no one will sell them." i'm sitting there trying really hard not to laugh as i am watching the brides hopes shatter, she was so in love with this certain tie and was able to find boys ties to match and now she is going to have to change her mind, she wasn't to happy, poor girl.

2. you wouldn't think that men would create drama, but let me tell you, working with about 13 of them all day is worse then a squad of high school cheerleaders on their periods. i guess it all has to do with the money.

3. roses are red violets are blue....listening as dave tries to tells us all why the sky is so...blue. dave likes making poems up

4.convincing dave that madison and i have to go to the mtc because there is just too much stuff for one of us to handle.

5. rick giving all of his missionaries his fatherly advice, watching their faces because they really wanna leave but are just trying to be polite.

6. when joan brings us chocolate from mrs cavanaughs (i think thats how its spelled)

7. the pure joy of shattering some poor teenagers hopes and dreams of completing the mac challenge.

8. the hours we sit listening to callin talk about politics, sports, watches, golf, food, everett, byu football, politics, sports, watches, golf, food, why max hall is the shiz, food, golf, obama, byu, what he is going to buy in twenty years for his 25th anniversary for his wife, did i mention food, golf, politics, watches and byu football?

9.desk girl conversations

10. cartwheel contests, playing frisbee with suit sizers, scaring employees, baseball with umbrellas, trying to guess the date on pennies and keeping it if you get it right...oh the fun we have when we are trying to pass time when its slow!!

oh the joys of working at mr mac!!!

4 generations!!!

2009-09-18T14:19:00.001-07:00

we took this picture at my grandmas hansens funeral today, four generations of the stubbs men! my amazing grandpa eldon john, my dad jerry john, my brother trever john and my nephew lincoln john! my grandpa is the best grandpa in the whole wide world, i love to brag about him because he is such an awesome man! he lost his left arm in his early twenties and he as acomplished so much in his life since then. in california he was known as the fastest brick mason around, he could lay brick faster then any two armed man could, one time when he was laying brick with my brother, trever thought he would have a contest with grandpa, they each had a wheel barrow and shovel, they were to fill the wheel barrow up with sand and then haul it over to where they were building the mail box, trever didn't think it was going to be to hard to win, my grandpa filled his wheel barrow up and deposited the sand before for trever could even fill his up half way! my grandpa is an amazing man i could brag about him all day long.

this picture is of the newest great grand babies from oldest to youngest, lincoln is the biggest one out of all of them and they are all only a few weeks apart, the one laying down is only a week old and she is the cutest little thing in the world, i can't believe how tiny she is!

this is a picture of all of the grandkids and great grandkids that were at the funeral not a very good picture but yeah!! my grandma had 38 grandkids and 20 great grand kids, i think my grandpa has 40 grandkids and 20 great grand kids!! pretty much this is the coolest family in the world!!

my grandma's funeral was amazing, my aunts all gave great tributes to her, recalling/thanking her for all the things that she taught them and all the things that she gave them, and my dad gave a great talk, i didn't think i would cry cause i don't like to cry but all bets are off when you see your dad cry. im so very thankful for my grandmas example to me, she was such an amazing woman and she always stood up for what she believed in no matter what, she was such a strong woman and i love her so much, im really going to miss her, i am kicking myself for not going to visit her more often the past few years! im so thankful for family sometimes you take them for granted until its to late to really tell them how you feel, i wish i would have been able to tell my grandma how much she meant to me!

it's been forever!!

my brother and sister in law just had their first baby, and the very first grandkid in my family. he was born on august 12th and weighed 8 lbs 8 ounces and was 21 inches long! he is the sweetest little thing in the world! and i admit i do want one!

tyson and i don't have much new that is going on. he found a job painting apartment complexes in slc and it has releaved a lot of stress from our lives. i am still working at mr mac and and dad's as much as possible. i have applied for utah valley dispatch and i have to go take a 2 hour test next wednesday, i guess to see if i qualify for the job or not, im not sure what they are testing me on but im kinda nervous. even if they offer me the job im not going to take it if they make me work every sunday which with my luck that's probably what's going to happen!!

other then that we are living the good life, playing video games, trying to work out (on my part), cross stitching (just me!!!), working, movies, sleeping, eating, teaching primary, and just being together and with our families!!

Finals

2009-05-08T14:43:00.000-07:00

My finals this semester was really stressful, I had to do group projects in both of my classes. I am in the Construction Management program and I am the only girl. Im not a very social person especially when it comes to people I don't know. So I was put in a group in both of the classes with 3 other guys and we had to work together the whole semester. I was kinda stressed with the final projects that we had to put together and present in class. After that was over (it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be) I stressed about the written final, I didn't think i would do very good in my second class, I was actually hoping to just pass the class. But when I got my grades I was surprised!! I got an A and a B! YAY!!! I was so happy!

Sin City!

2009-04-21T20:51:00.001-07:00

Okay so its been forever since i've updated. Tyson and I went to Vegas for our year anniversary and we stayed in the Stratosphere. We went to the Shark Aquarium at Mandalay bay on Friday and that was pretty cool! They had sea turtles and jelly fish and sharks and stingrays and all sorts of cool fish. It was pretty cool! On Saturday we went to the Blue Man Group and that was way cool! They were kinda scary because they don't talk and they just look at you and sometimes they come down into the crowd and walk around. They were hilarious though, I would definately tell people to go see them! We loved the Venetian Hotel the paintings stuff were really cool.

As you can see Tyson was super excited about having his picture taken!! (He actually tried really hard to look ackward in this picture, i think he succeeded!)This is Tyson's favorite picture! For some reason he is obsessed with the humor of segways!

We loved the Venetian Hotel, it was our favorite one, these umbrellas happen to be in between the Venetian and Pallazo Hotel/Shops. We thought they were pretty cool! The Shark Aquarium! Some of the picture were hard to take cause of the glass but some of them turned out pretty cool!

This is what I got Tyson for our anniversary/his birthday! He wanted a tactical light for his gun so I found a pretty cool one and bought it.

Tyson got me My wedding band! I have wanted it for a year but I didn't think that he would get it because it was to expensive so I was really suprised when he gave it to me.

It looks so pretty with my ring! I love it! He did such an awesome job picking out my ring!

Update!

2009-04-01T16:26:00.000-07:00

Okay so i have been super busy the past few weeks. Tyson got laid off from his job after being there for only one month, it came as a shock to both of us. The investors in his company lost half their assets over night so they had to lay off a lot of people. So the past few weeks Tyson has been trying to find a job anywhere, but unfortunately nobody is hiring, it seems as if everyone is on a hiring freeze. So i started working at Mr. Mac in Orem, again, it's not something i wanted to go back to but it is a job that i enjoy...for the most part! I am still working for my dad, he has been slow the past few months so we haven't had a lot of work, right now i only work for him once a week. But everything is going really well for us. We really enjoy our ward and our primary children! We are going to Vegas for our year anniversary next week and we are super excited! I will write about that when we get back!!

Valentine's Day!

2009-02-16T12:23:00.000-08:00

I've never been into Valentine's Day, I kinda think it is overated! Even now that I am married I still don't really care about it! So Tyson gets a break from having to really celebrate it! But this Valentine's was actually a good day, Tyson made me breakfast and it was super good! Then we went to Porter's Place for dinner, I had never been there before but it was really good! I liked the place cause it was so olden day!! We then rented a movie (it was kinda lame) then we went to Best Buy cause Tyson was bored and he just wanted to look around, we started looking at the I-pod touch (i've been wanting one since they first came out, even though i have a perfectly good ipod!!) and to my surprise Tyson bought me one!! I'm pretty excited about it! So it turned out to be the best Valentine's Day ever!!

I give in!!

2009-02-07T18:04:00.000-08:00

Okay so I'm finally going to give in to this 25 random things about me. I've had like 15 people tag me on facebook and through emails so I guess I'm going to finally do this even though its going to probably take me FOREVER to figure out 25 random things about myself! So here goes...

1-I'm always right no matter what, even if I'm wrong and i know I'm wrong, I'm still always right!!

2-I once fit 65 pieces of double bubble, bubble gum in my mouth. All of it was chewed too. And i probably could have fit more but my stomach was starting to really get sick because of all the sugar i was swallowing!!

3-I would love to work on crimes, you know be a crime scene investigator that would be cool. I would also love to be an Attorney, but i hate school so there is no way I would survive the 7 years of it!

4-I like Micheal Jackson, I love his music and his dancing.

5-If i would have had $200 dollars last year, I would have bought a ticket to the Spice Girls concert in Vegas.

6-I can quote the whole Liar Liar movie, word for word, and i could probably act out 85% of it too! I love it!

7-I love reality TV shows, and it doesn't matter which ones, i like them all, and for some reason I love the ones with all girl drama! like The Hills!!

8-I love games, board games, card games, video games, night games...I'm a total gamer!

9-I once worked at a surveying company, you know the people who call you and ask you to take a survey, yeah I did that, except I never really worked, I usually just sat there! It was an easy job, paid pretty good too!

10-I like sports, I like to watch football and basketball. Probably even more then my husband does!

11-I love mud, I love playing in it, i like the feel of it between my toes!!

12-I hate toothpaste, I hate the taste and the texture of it.

13-I have a really good memory!

14-I love country music, 90% of the music on my I-Pod is country. I've always like it and that will never change!

15-I don't consider Spanish Fork a small town.

16-I love horror films, I'm not sure why because they are usually pretty stupid, but I've never been scared in any of the ones I've watched.

17-I love baby/kids clothes, I always have, I think once I get pregnant I'm going to go crazy with the kids clothes!!

18-I could watch commercials all day, I find them so funny, well most of them!

19-I hate hot tubs, they are too hot for me, I feel like I cant breathe.

20-I love trucks, if i could choose a vehicle to drive it would be a truck.

21-I am secretly the biggest fan of Harry Potter, I don't think people realize that I'm a total nerd when it comes to those books and movies!

22-I love to chew ice, I would much rather have ice in a cup then the actual drink.

23-I would much rather raise boys then girls.

24-I hate dancing, but when I was younger I did dance and in the drill down i won first place out of like 60 other girls, and my cousin (who is an amazing dancer) got second place! I was so happy I beat her!!

25-I've never been to Disneyland, but it's never been at the top of my vacation list, even when I was little I think I was more interested in going to DC and going through all the museums out there.

Whew! Im done! That was hard!

Grumpy!

2009-01-16T10:21:00.001-08:00

I love the Disney move Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Grumpy is my favorite. So for my birthday Tyson sculpted me Grumpy! He is so cute, I just want to take him everywhere!! I think it is by far the best sculpture that Tyson has done so far, but I might be just a little biased!! I also got season two of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! I mentioned a few months ago that I would love the seasons of it, Tyson could only find the second one but I'm so excited to watch it!!

Happy! Happy! Happy!

2009-01-12T13:53:00.000-08:00

I can't really remember the last time I was this happy (okay that sounds like I haven't been happy for a long time...I have). Its crazy how one phone call can make all your worries disappear! The past few months have been so stressful, we had so many things happen we were wondering if we were ever going to see the light! But we have!! I got the best birthday present ever!! Tyson got a job, and he is working at a film studio, which is something he has really wanted to do! We can see how this might lead to the big studios in L.A.! We are so happy and it seriously feels like a load of bricks have been lifted off of our backs! Tyson has again been able to look forward to going to work in the mornings! Hopefully with this new job we will be able to save some money and be able to actually live on our own again!!

A Perfect Reminder, At a Perfect Time

2008-12-19T21:55:00.001-08:00

Ever since Glenn Beck's book The Christmas Sweater came out (and then had to be re-printed because it was sold out every where) I have wanted to read it. I finally found a copy yesterday at Sam's Club and my mom bought it for me! I read it tonight and it is such a great book! It truly is the best gift, and it is something I will treasure! I've had a few books make an impact on my life but this one is definitely at the top. I'm not going to go into detail about the book, but if you do read it make sure you read every page, a lot of the time I never read the acknowledgement page or about the author but I did this time and I'm really glad I did, his acknowledgement page really made a deep impact, I think I really needed to be reminded of the amazing gift Christ gave to me and like Glenn says, I don't want to stand at his feet and look in His eyes and have Him say "is this the gift I gave you", that won't make much sense to you unless you've read the whole book. My number one fear in life is disappointing my parents, this book has changed that fear to second in line, my number one fear is seeing the look of disappointment on the Savior's face. I'm so glad I read this book and I will always cherish it. It is such a great reminder of what I should be doing in life and that the hard times is just a storm I'm passing through and I know that the Lord will always help when I ask.

To shave or not to shave, that is the question!!

2008-11-17T16:03:00.000-08:00

So Tyson didn't shave for about two weeks, and he grew a pretty decent beard! On Saturday he decided to shave but wasn't to sure of what look he really wanted!

I don't like the mustache AT all, it reminded me of some creepy molestor guy!! I like the beard but I also like the clean shaven face to! I also liked the goatee but Tyson doesn't like it at all!! Anyway it was kinda fun seeing all of these!!

Oh the good times...

2008-11-14T16:05:00.000-08:00

So today is a day that I thought might never come...okay actually I never thought about it until about 3 weeks ago!! Claire (my car) reached her 100,000 mile marker today!! Oh I have had such great memories with her!! From dragging main and singing Spice Girls at the top of our lungs (Haley/Stephanie), to dressing up as "sexy mexis", and all the ditching school/getting kicked out of class for asking our teacher if we can go get a drink (we just didn't tell her that we were going to the gas station)!

Anyways, the memories are so great and I just cant wait to share some more special experiences with Claire. She has been such a great car and I'm so happy to have her!! Hopefully she will make it through another hundred thousand miles or so!!

6 Months!

2008-10-16T14:04:00.001-07:00

So for our 6 month anniversary we decided to eat our cake!! We didn't want to eat it on our year anniversary because we knew that it would be disgusting! And after 6 months the cake still wasn't all that great, actuall the cake itself was good but the frosting was kinda gross!!

Tyson's first few bites!! He ate his whole piece but I could only eat a bite of mine!! I'm glad we didn't wait a year!

Notice there aren't any pictures of me!! Because I was taking the pictures! and I was in my PJ's so I didn't want pictures of me!

4th Folder, 4th Picture

2008-10-15T12:47:00.001-07:00

Newest Tag: Go to your 4th picture folder and pull out your 4th picture and describe it for everyone.... This is when Tyson and I walked out of the temple as husband and wife!! The best day of my life!! I tag Brandie, Jesse, Jason, and Katie.

Lake Powell!

2008-09-17T10:57:00.000-07:00

Last week I went to Lake Powell with my family! (unfortunately Tyson wasn't able to come) We had a total blast!! My cousin owns a boating business called Invert Sports, he has 6 boats, wave runners, and all the equipment you need to have fun. He and his wife took their vacation with us and Jason spent some time teaching us how to wake board, wake surf, air chair, and we did some tubing!

Lance was brave enough to try and wake board! He is a lot braver then I ever was at 6 years old, and I loved the water! He was able to get up on the board but then he would get worried the water was going to get up his nose so he would let go of the rope and plug his nose!

Wake surfing was a lot of fun but I wasn't very good at it because it hurt my ankle that I broke 3 years ago. Jason is amazing at most everything, I guess he should be because that's what he does all summer long! With the wake surfing you can actually let go of the rope and stay right behind the boat and its actually like your

surfing!

I think that the air chair was the coolest thing to watch, I would never do it because I think I would end up getting hurt, but Jason was getting pretty good at it by the end of the week, he could actually get the fin out of the water and jump the wake, I'm pretty sure by next year he will know how to do back flips!

We also did some knee boarding which was really hard but I think I liked that the most! We had a lot of fun and I can't wait to go again next year, I just hope that Tyson will be able to go! By the end of the trip I was actually kinda moody because I hadn't been able to see him for so long!

Jason jumping the wake,
and doing a back flip over the wake!

The first day we were there it rained on us, we were stuck on the boat in a middle of a rainstorm, it was so scary because lighting was striking so close, Jason and Stephanie (his wife) got struck by the static electricity that ran through the heater of the boat! My mom and friend Haley were stuck on the wave runners, the two people who should have been in the boat because my mom hates water and Haley hates thunderstorms!!

Grateful!

2008-08-25T12:50:00.000-07:00

I've just finished reading The Other Boleyn Girl, it's a good book and based on true events, told from the point of view of Mary Boleyn. Mary was forced to do a lot of things that she did not want to do, because back then you couldn't disobey your family, she was married at 13, taken from her husband at 14 and made King Henry's mistress, after a few years of that she was replaced by her rival sister Anne and was able to go back to her husband. Mary had conceived twice and had a daughter and a son, both belonging to the King, she was just starting to fall in love with her husband when he got the plague and died, she was forced to go back to the court and help her sister rise to the power of the queen, she was forced to betray Queen Katharine whom she loved and then had to step aside as her sister forcefully adopted her son and then became queen. It is a good book but it has a lot of sexual content in it, I didn't realize that it was an actual true story till the end of the book, it's basically about 'The Great Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn' told from Mary's point of view! It made me realize how lucky I am to have a family who respects me, who wouldn't force me to do anything, and most of all to have a husband that i could marry because i love him, I'm grateful that he loves me and respects all of my decisions and he never disrespects me in any way! I'm so happy that woman actually have choices in this time of life and that we noticed as equal to the men!

I Got an Eagle...in Golf!!

2008-08-15T12:11:00.000-07:00

So Tyson and I bought a Wii like a week ago, and it has been the most entertainment we have had in a long time!! Plus it gives you quite a work out! We were playing golf and I got an Eagle!! Tyson wasn't to happy about that, but I have to admit I haven't been doing very well since I got that eagle, maybe it's because Tyson doesn't like it when I win him at something, so he has gotten better!! We have spent more money on it then we probably should but it's tons of fun and it gives us something to do together for hours at a time!!

Yes, I'm a Nerd!!

2008-08-01T09:55:00.000-07:00

Today is the day that we have been waiting for (we as in Brandie and I), waiting for like a year I might add! We are going to the Breaking Dawn party at Borders tonight around 8, where we will surely take part in the great debate: Edward VS Jacob! I am an Edward fan, and my personal opinion on the matter is this: If Bella chooses Edward BUT stays human
the book is ruined, if Bella chooses Jacob the book is definitely ruined, so basically the only thing that can happen is...Bella choosing Edward AND becoming a Vampire. I compare it to Harry Potter, if JK Rowling would have killed off Harry, Ron or Hermione she would lose all her fans, so if Stephanie Meyer chooses not to make Bella a Vampire or to be with Edward she will lose a lot of fans, and if this does happen I don't think I will continue to read The Host series!! I am very passionate about this if you haven't already figured out!!

I have also decided I'm not really that big of a fan of the Twilight series anymore, I started reading a series all The House of Night series (the first book is called Marked), which is also about Vampyre's (that's how they spell it in the book!) granted its not by an LDS author so there is some swearing in it that i don't appreciate and some other things but all in all I've decided it is definitely better the the Twilight series which is hard to believe I know but I've made my decision and I'm stickin to it!!

What are we gonna do?

2008-07-28T10:03:00.001-07:00

So we decided to name her Zoey! And as of now we aren't to sure whether we are keeping her or not. Tyson thinks we could give her a better home if we give her away, and I agree but I don't want to give her to someone else because I love her. So by the end of today we are going to decide whether to keep her or not! This morning She woke up at 3:30 so I took her out to go potty and she went, as soon as she was done she ran back up the stairs and into the apartment, she started playing with her toys so I left her alone, then she came back into our room and climbed on top of Tyson's shoes (she has claimed them as her own) and went to sleep. When Tyson got up this morning he found that she had pooped right by our bedroom door, he was so mad, so as discipline she was locked in her cage on the balcony for like 15 minutes. Now today she is going to sit at my parents outside all by herself (well my parents dog Sadie will take care of her) so that she can learn to be away from us humans!! I really don't want to get rid of her, I think with a little patience and hard work she will be the best dog in the world!!

Our New Addition!

2008-07-25T12:21:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I fell in love! As my mom and I were driving down the road we noticed there were puppies for sale at the Library, we decided to stop and play with them for awhile, that was probably not such a good idea because I fell in love with one and wanted to take her home, so I sent Ty a text and I was able to convince him to get one!! She is a purebred Lab and she was only $100 dollars, her dad is a show dog and her mom is an amazing hunter and fisher!! They were going to sale the puppies for $1000 dollars but they just weren't selling and they wanted to get rid of them! She is such a funny dog and she is very spoiled, she can't be alone at all or she starts whining and yelping! Tyson wasn't to sure of her at first but I think that she has grown on him!!

P.S. We haven't found a name for her but we really like Paige!

On Sunday we got pulled in and asked if we wanted to be primary teachers, of course we said yes!! So I THINK we are teaching the 6 year olds which will be really fun, I'm kinda nervous I'm not gonna lie, I've never really had a calling before but I'm pretty sure this one will be a blast, plus I'll be with my hubby!! Speaking of which, he is totally excited about this calling, actually now that I think of it so am I cause it means i wont have to sit in Relief Society by myself YESSS!!!

1. I thought that this one would be fun to look back on memories.Here are the rules:1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Late Night Drive!

About a week ago Tyson and I were sitting around the apartment at about midnight, we weren't tired so Tyson asked me if i wanted to go on a late night drive! So our late night drive consisted of us taking out my remote control Hummer that I had gotten for Christmas! As we descended our stairs all of our neighbors were outside, they started laughing when they saw what we were doing!! The sprinklers had been on so the sand in the volleyball court was wet and and there were a few puddles! It's kinda funny what keeps Tyson entertained!! As for me I was entertained just watching him drive the H2 (okay so I cant really drive the thing) through the puddles and holes in the ground! Then we preceded to the parking lot where we took the Hummer off of a few jumps (jumps being the speed bumps)!! It was actually pretty fun, but after we ran the battery dead we found out we were even more awake then before!! I think our neighbors think we are crazy!!!
