Lillian's Birthday at Nani and Papa's

2011-12-05T10:59:00.001-08:00

We went to the Whiting's for Lillian's birthday party. It was so much fun to watch Lily open presents.

This was Lillian's out fit the other day. She wore it all day I could not take it off. She went on a walk looking like this!

Its a Girl!!!!

Spring Lily

2011-06-06T11:22:00.000-07:00

This is the face Lily makes all the time. She does it when she wants food, a drink or is just smiling. When she does it we just crack up. I will be so sad when she grows out of it.

This is Lillian's pool she plays in it a few times a day. Today she got in it with her cloths on.

Tuffs parents got her this robe a few days ago. She always wants to wear it.

Lily found a pen. Coloring is one of her favorite things to do.

This is the rubber bin she is always getting into.

Update

2011-04-19T10:43:00.001-07:00

This is Lillian's first swimming lesson. It went just about like this! We have since been back and she does just fine.

Lillian loves cats more than anything. She also loves being outside, it has been nice outside lately so we get to send most the days in the backyard. Lily cries whenever we come back in.

DANCE!!! So everyday Lillian and I dance. It starts with her dancing by herself and ends with me holding her and dancing. It lasts for about 45min, its my new workout! hahah She loves to spin and try and snap her fingers. When ever she hears music she turns and runs to the TV to dance its so cute.

Christmas in Utah

2011-01-11T08:45:00.000-08:00

Lily had just turned one so while we were there she had some birthday cake!!

CHRISTMAS PUPPIES

2010-11-27T13:08:00.000-08:00

We decided to take some photos of Lily with the puppies before they went home. She loved having a few of the pups in the house, and we think they turned out cute. Enjoy!

Washington

2010-11-05T10:39:00.001-07:00

Lillian went to the Trunk or Treat at my mom's house. She was in heaven. She knew what car had the taffy and kept going back. After that we went into the church for a chili cook off and some games. Lily loved it! She ran around for an hour with other kids and could care less about her mom.

While we were in Washington Lily got to see her great grandparents. This is Lily with my fav. grandpa OPA.

This is Lily with Oma

Lily and I went to the house that I grew up in. It was fun to stop by.

Lillian with her other great grandma Mamaw.

We had tons of fun visiting my mom and going to great places to eat. We also got to see one of my best friends while we were there. It was sooooo much fun. I am going to have to go back sometime soon.

Fall

2010-10-23T19:22:00.001-07:00

Lillian LOVES the fridge. She is always getting into it while we cook dinner, so tonight we decided to get a pic of it for the scrap book.

She has so many teeth now and she loves to show them!

When ever she gets into the fridge she takes stuff and carries it around. A few weeks ago we had hot sauce in the whole kitchen, that was fun!

Dont bug a girl when she has her DEW!!!! The can is empty but she loves to think she can drink it.

I made this onesie for lil.

This is a sign I made for the house.

Lil's mean look!

crafting

2010-09-24T18:36:00.000-07:00

Every week I put a list of meals on the fridge and it looks so ugly. I made a menu board for the kitchen so that it does not look so ugly. I used a frame so that I can wipe it off and use dry erase pens.

This is a bow I made for lily this week with some extra material I had.

Best thing EVER!!!!

2010-09-18T10:22:00.000-07:00

Twice a day we have to go out and do dog chores. It is not my favorite thing to say the least. I hate getting dog germs all over my stuff. I also get my shoes soaking wet when I fill the dogs water bowls. Tuffer went out and out me some Dickies and yellow polka dot rubber boots. I am so HAPPY. I LOVE it all so much. This is the best present ever.

Lily is 9m old now. We took her to her 9m old appointment about a week ago here are her stats

Height: 30in over 100%

Weight: 22.3lbs 95%

Head: 90%

Lily's New Trick

2010-09-02T12:34:00.000-07:00

Lily is now 8m old and wow is she a mover. I knew she would be from the time I had my first ultrasound. hahahaha!

Hot air balloon

2010-08-24T07:39:00.000-07:00

These were the amazing hot air balloons by our house.

One was getting a little too close and hitting the tree's.

Then it landed in our yard! They told us it was not working right and they needed to emergency land. I guess our yard was the best place.

THe NeW HoUSe!!!!

2010-08-24T07:20:00.000-07:00

Our new house on the left, and the dogs new home is on the right( the blue and white barn). A little over a month ago we went to Nauvoo and as we were driving we both got the feeling we needed to move. That is just what we did. We are renting our house and are renting this amazing farm house. We now live in 12 acers and love it, I don't think we will ever leave!

This is our backyard, it is rented out to a farmer so we dont have to take care of all of it.

This is our long drive way. You can barely see the house from the street.

Nauvoo

2010-08-19T13:42:00.001-07:00

A few weeks ago we went to Nauvoo. It is only 6 hours away from our house. I am so happy that we where able to go down there.

UTAH

2010-07-22T13:16:00.000-07:00

BATH TIME! I was giving Lil a bath and she sat like this the whole time it was so funny.

All the cousins

Canoeing this one is out of order we did this when we were camping. It was not fun for tuff because he had to do all the rowing, I was holding Lillian.

The Stadium of fire!!!!!!! Lillian thought it was ok. She ended up falling asleep before the fireworks even started.

Timp caves, this was really fun. The caves were pretty cool. I liked the hike more than anything. I would do it again

Lily fell sleep on the way.

Nanie and Lil.

Allie and I, this ride was so much fun, we all loved it!

Hot dogs a camping must have.

We went to Heber for the night. It was at the girls camp, It was amazing. I don't think you can call it camping though. While we were their we did four challenge courses that were a total blast, one being a 20ft swing. It is so much fun I recommend going there with your family.

Photos of Lillian

2010-07-16T12:55:00.001-07:00

We just got back from Utah, visiting Tuffers parents. I will post pics from the trip soon. While we were there we got pics of Lillian done. I had not done them yet, and it costs a ton to do them in Minnesota so we decided to do them in Utah. I am so happy we got them done. These are just a few of the pics I am getting a CD of all pics soon!

2010-06-24T21:28:00.000-07:00

I was looking for a pettiskirt for lily and they all where a ton, I decided to make it myself. It costs way less. If anyone wants a copy of the pattern on how to do it I would be happy to send it, just let me know.

This last week we went to the city fair. It was a ghetto but fun. It took about 5 min to walk there. We shared a corn dog and Lily had fries!

Summer Time

2010-06-18T12:50:00.000-07:00

Lillian's Summer Shaddies!

Lillian got some new PJ's at Costco. I absolutely LOVE them. They are so soft and the are snug to her cute body, they show off her best feature, her BIG belly!!

Lillian looked like this every time I fed her while she was teething. I hated cleaning her after she ate, it was a chore. Now she has TWO teeth. The two bottom ones, and she loves to use them, I would know! HAHA

We got a Chariot for Lily. I love it so much. We go on bike rides all the time. It is just like the car, Lily goes right to sleep. Its amazing. Oh and we buckled in a pillow so that Lillian would stay in place and not move around.

We got "Lillian" a pool ( I really wanted it but pretended it was for her). We filled it with half hot water and half hose water. She hated it. she wanted it to be like the bath. Oh well.

This is a onesie that her uncle Jon gave her.

I have been so bad about posting. I felt like we didn't have anything worth updating, then time goes by and its been so long that you don't want to update. But I finally decided to sit down and get it done. Lillian has grown so much lately. She is so observant and loves to ride in her stroller and look at everything. She now tries to jump out of her stroller, so now I have to start strapping her in. She is try to crawl but can get down the logistics of it. We went to the doctors for her 6m check up and this is the stats

Weight: 17.5 75% percentile

Height: 27.5 95% percentile

Head: 50% percentile

2010-04-23T11:16:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I made this dress for Lillian. I had bought one that looks just like it and thought I could do that. Its a little big so I figured she could wear it as a shirt when she is a bit older with leggings.

2010-04-19T08:44:00.000-07:00

This is one of Lillian's church dresses that Tuffer mom got her. Tuffer thought I was crazy but I made her wear the bonnet to church. I told him that she is only a baby for so long and its ok to look like one, plus I thought it looked hilarious. The last pic was just so funny I had to put it on.

2010-04-11T13:54:00.000-07:00

Lillian, Tuffer, and I went out for the afternoon to run some errands. It was such a meautiful day to do it too! Lillian didnt have a bow to match her outfit, so of course I had to make one!

2010-04-11T08:40:00.000-07:00

Lillian went for her first walk in her stroller. She was out like a lite the whole time. Lillian loves the dogs she just stares at them and reaches her hands out to pet them.

Cereal Time!!

2010-03-31T19:15:00.000-07:00

VIDEO!!!

2010-03-31T13:49:00.000-07:00

The first pic is of Lillian sleeping in her car seat she LOVES it. I swear anytime I put her in it she falls asleep instantly, I love it! The next pic is of the onesies I have been making. They just have a ruffle at the top of them.

CRAFTS

2010-03-16T19:40:00.000-07:00

Tuffer is on spring break this week, so I have some extra time. I decided to do some crafts I have been meaning to do for a long time now. So far I made this awesome oil cloth bib, and a flower bow for Lillian. I got the Bib idea from my sister in law Stephanie. the oil cloth makes it so all the spills just wipe off. Which makes it easier on me!

Lillian's new friend

2010-03-15T10:53:00.000-07:00

This is Lillian' s new friend, her name is Minnie. Lily loves to watch all the puppies nurse, she finds is very interesting. I think it's so cute!

This is a new church dress I got for Lily at the gap right after Christmas. They had this amazing sale and I got a few dresses for only 5-7 dollars a piece. Thanks to my mom and Lily's Christmas money she got from her. I loved the shoes that went with the dress but she would not keep them on. They were a little big on her but by the time the shoes fit the dress will be to small, oh well.

This week we went to a ward dinner group and social. We made a key lime pie for it, everyone loved it. But maybe it's not good we went because right after we went I got a new calling. I am on the relief society activities committee, it will be lots of fun though.

New Dress

2010-02-21T12:34:00.001-08:00

I had some extra material from Lillian's bedding, and Lily needed another dress for church, so I made her one. I could not find a pattern so I decided to improvise, and make one up. It was so easy and look no time at all. I love free projects!

Lillian's Room

2010-02-17T16:12:00.000-08:00

This is Lillian's bedroom. It is not completely finished yet. Tuffer and I are going to make some wall art and letters of her name over his spring break. I made the bedding for her crib. I couldn't find anything I wanted at the stores. I also got all the decorations at places like TJ MAXX and Marshalls, they have the best stuff.

Our Valentine

2010-02-12T17:47:00.000-08:00

Daddy got Lily some gummy worms and Lily's (her fav. flower ) as you can see she would not take her eyes off them! Mommy ate the worms because she cant eat them yet. Dad is making sure that his little girl will always have an amazing Valentines Day.

Lillian is officially two months old! Wow, I cant believe it. She has grown up so much already; when I think about it I want to cry. She went to her 2 month check up and here are the stats

11 pounds 3 ounces 50%

23 and a half inches 90%

head circumference 50%

I never knew how amazing it would be to be a mom until I had Lillian. It is so much better than I had imagined. She is so perfect in every way. Lily is constantly changing and learning new things. She has started cooing, that is our favorite. She doesn't do it much but when she does I get so excited; and try and make her do it again. I love her so much and do not want her to change not one bit.

2010-01-17T11:17:00.000-08:00

Today was Lillian's fist time going to church, so we needed to take some pics of her in her dress. She did very good and didn't cry. I was very happy!

The other pics are just some random ones I took one day.

Lillian's Blessing

2010-01-05T19:52:00.001-08:00

We blessed Lillian while we were home for Christmas. I am so glad that we were able to go home so that both of our families could be there.

Taking these pics was impossible, Lillian hated the way that her dress felt and cried the whole time!

Christmas

2010-01-05T19:47:00.000-08:00

Tay showing Lily her Hanah Montana light stick. The one thing that Lillian hates is light! hahah

Tay, Lillian's cousin wanted her to come and play in her tent that she got for Christmas. It was so cute. Lily was also wearing pooh Pj's that her uncle T gave her.

Lillian at the hospital

2009-12-13T16:43:00.001-08:00

While we were at the hospital there was a photographer that took pics of new babies. These are some of the pics she took.

Lillian is now 5 days old and we are all doing great. She is amazing! She never cries, and she sleeps all the time, it’s awesome.

Lillian was 8 pounds 8 ounces. My labor went great; I could not believe how easy it was I didn’t feel any pain at all. I am so grateful that everything went so smoothly and that we are both doing wonderful.

LILLIAN IS HERE!!!

2009-12-08T07:11:00.000-08:00

8 WEEKS AND GOING TO THEIR HOMES

2009-12-02T09:18:00.001-08:00

Christmas

2009-11-27T17:18:00.000-08:00

I love christmas! I love nothing more than a christmas tree a fire and hot coco. I am so happy that we had time this weekend to put up the tree before Lillian comes.

6 Week Old Puppies

2009-11-20T06:32:00.000-08:00

36 weeks

2009-11-09T08:27:00.000-08:00

I am getting closer. Wow how time fly's by. I thought I would have so much time to get everything ready before the baby came. I have not finished making the bedding, I do not have all of the furniture, I have to paint some stuff and order some other things like a car seat; that is kind of important. But I am doing great.

I do not sleep well anymore and most the time I have to fall asleep sitting up so that the acid reflux is not so bad. Then I have to get up about four times to use the bathroom.

But most of all I just want the time to pass because I want to play with little Lillian I am starting to get really really really excited to see her for the first time.

Puppies!!

2009-10-08T18:12:00.000-07:00

This is our first litter of puppies. They were born on Tuesday! We found out a week prior that we were having puppies. We were not planning on having puppies right now, but when we went to Utah on vacation we had them kenneled. When we took them there we told them to keep our dogs separated, they obviously didn't. We have 4 girls and 1 boy, 2 boys didn't make it. They are so cute I love them all!

My Dad

2009-10-06T16:14:00.000-07:00

My dad passed away this last Tuesday. I cant help but smile when I look at these pictures. They were taken this last year fishing with friends. My dad loved fishing more than any thing. He will be missed. I will never forget him and what he has done for me.

27 weeks!

2009-09-01T17:50:00.001-07:00

I am 27 weeks and doing great; besides having to pee every five min, and the acid reflux that is killing me! Today we had to go to a opening social for vet school. It was very interesting to say the least. Tuffer is starting school this week and is going on a mandatory camp out with the other vet students for two days and a night! He is pretty excited NOT.

2009-08-24T17:40:00.000-07:00

I have made some quilts for Lillian. They are all unisex because when I made them I did not know if I was having a boy or a girl yet. I have some more that are almost finished that are more girlie.

Lillian's Room

2009-08-15T14:42:00.000-07:00

I wanted a place to put all of Lily's bows that I have been making. It is so much fun to do. I know that she is not here yet, but I know I will be very worn out when she gets here so I am trying to get a lot done.

This is the wall of bows. I love it because its behind the door so its hidden but it also fills up the whole wall and looks like a decoration.

I bought a hydrangea and cut it apart to make and only used a tiny bit of one flower. Then I glued it to a clip and added real crystals.

Lillian's Baby Shower

2009-08-11T16:20:00.000-07:00

This last week Tuffer and I flew to Utah to have a baby shower. It was amazing, I could not picture it any more perfect.

Tuffers and my nieces playing in the backyard.

Izzie and Allie

Kate, Karen and I. They threw me the best shower ever. I love them!

Kyra, mom, baby Jensen, Jenn and I

The amazing treats!

Brit and I

The food was endless

Party favors

2009-07-31T13:57:00.001-07:00

So this is me at 22 weeks. I hate getting bigger. None of my cloths fit and I only have one pair of maternity shorts so I am wearing skirts that stretch. It’s awesome!

New bedding

2009-07-16T12:35:00.000-07:00

We finally got new bedding. I was so happy to have it. We got some when we were married but the dry cleaners ruined it. I have been waiting until we move and the dogs where out of the house to get it. I am one happy girl!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

2009-07-13T13:44:00.000-07:00

Today we found out that we are having a little girl. I am so excited. We both thought it was going to be a girl for a while now, so I was not surprised. The first thing I thought about was going and getting a new cute baby girl outfit. I hated waiting because you can’t get anything.

Right when the ultrasound person walked out of the room the first thing tuffer said was “well that’s one wedding we are going to have to pay for."
I said “really that came to your mind that fast, are you kidding."

We went to lunch after the doctors and tuffer told me I could get one outfit for the future Lillian. So I went to a few stores and this is what I got. It was really hard to only get one outfit, I wanted them all. When I picked it out I said all it needs now is a really big bow!

Oh and we decided on a name its Lillian Claire Whiting

Random

2009-06-26T15:38:00.000-07:00

To all of you that think I am the worst blogger in the world. I am trying to be better now that I am settled in. These are just some random pics of us.

I just got this headband off of etsy.com. Its a really cool site with lots of homemade crafts everyone should check it out. I wanted to get something new because, I feel big and prego and nothing looks good on me, headbands always fit.

I didn’t think I looked pregnant enough so I tried this!

This is me at 17 weeks. I feel enormous but I doubt anyone can tell besides Tuffer.

This week I went to a you pick strawberry patch with some girls from our new ward. It was really nice to get out and meet new people, oh and get good strawberries.

Minnesota

2009-06-25T14:48:00.001-07:00

We are finally starting to get settled into our new house. The one thing that I really wanted was a table and chairs so that we can eat outside, which is my favorite thing about summer. We eat every meal we can out here.

This is our massive backyard. We got a lawn mower and it takes about an hour and a half to mow the whole thing.

I love gardens! Nothing is better than fresh home grown veggies. It just happened that the house we got had a really big garden! We planted tomatoes, basil, rosemary, pumpkins, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and many other things. Since we moved in a little late in the season I am hoping that all of the plants will take.

This is the tiny part of the garden that we actually planted in. Next year we want to use the whole thing and plant lots of stuff.

Minnesota is very hot and humid. The dogs to not like that very much at all ( especially because they can not come into the house). We got them a pool for $5 so that they can cool off; they absolutely love it.

When we where moving we had a lot of cleaning we had to do. Being pregnant I am a little paranoid about breathing in too many chemicals. I didnt know what to do because I can lift a lot being prego. I came up with a plan I made a mask out of paper towels and a dog leash so that it would block some of the chemicals.

Our new house

2009-05-11T11:35:00.000-07:00

I hate looking for houses. I really mean it. I love to look at homes but when it comes to buying a house for us, I just totally hate it. We flew into MN on Wednesday and found our house in Friday. We are under contract now, so I think this will be the one. We will be moving around the 27th. I have a feeling it will come faster than I think. But I really am just glad we found a house and we do not have to make another trip out. I am also glad that it has a big back yard so that the dogs will have lots of room to play, now that they are going to be outdoor doggies.

April Fools Day!

2009-04-05T08:27:00.001-07:00

So this was the most memorable April Fools Day ever, I found out that I am pregnant. But the problem with finding out on April Fools Day is that no one believes you. Originally I was going to play a joke on my family and tell them I was pregnant and I didn’t think I was. But I was a few days late so I though I would just take a test for fun. Come to find out I was pregnant so it really wouldn’t be a joke to tell everyone. It took a positive pregnancy test, and me over ten minutes for my mom to believe me. ( I had to take the test to her) My favorite thing was telling all my family, and listening to their responses. The best ones where my dads; he said " HOLY CRAP". Also my little brothers was funny he said, " The joke is on me."

Moving!

2009-03-11T16:43:00.000-07:00

It's official we are moving. Tuffer got a letter yesterday. He got into the best school he interviewed at. I know that we got in because the day that we got the letter in the mail that he had an interview their, it was -40, and I said that I would never live their. That sealed the fate. I should know by now that if I ever say I am not doing something, that is exactly what I am going to do. So we are moving to the Twin Cities. I think it is funny because I constantly complained about how all the vet school were in small towns and I would not be able to survive and now I am going to the biggest city that has a vet school. I am happy that they have so many good places to eat. It is very animal friendly. No sales tax on food and cloths (love that one, but I will not be doing much shopping). They even have DMD out of the fountain; if you really know me, you know what that means. Oh and best of all the mall of america. Overall it’s stressful and fun. We have to move in two months, tuffer has to finish a million classes, I have to finish classes to graduate, and we have to pack, sell a house and buy a house. Life is crazy but its a new and awesome adventure!

Oh and a little story about where I will be moving; a man went sleepwalking and died because it was so cold. I will keep all the doors locked, so that does not happen to me.

Best investment ever!

2009-03-11T16:33:00.000-07:00

Today we got a new vacuum, which was long awaited. We already had one, but it didn’t cut it with three indoor dogs. We took our end of the year money back from Costco and used that money and put it towards a new vacuum. I never though I would spend so much money on a vacuum in my life and be so happy about at the same time. It works wonders.

Twin Cities

2009-03-05T20:21:00.000-08:00

This is Hercules a horse I got to pet while we where in St. Paul. I fell in love with him; he was such a show off that loved attention. It made me really want a horse. Oh and he knows how to paint. They sell his paintings for $50, and all the money goes to charity.We looked up restaurants to eat at on the food network. Man did they know what they were talking about this place was soooooo good. Talk about AMAZING Italian food.

This restaurant was also in the food network. Victors serves Cuban food. The food was very different but reminded Tuffer of his mission.

The last place is called the Nook also featured at the food network. Our burger was filled with cheese, Yummmm!!! All of our trips were based on eating if you cant tell.

In our amazing hotel, We were a little bored. Tuff was very excited, not so much!

Alabama

Tuskegee University. It was so pretty here. All the building on campus are old, brick and beautiful. I loved it.

While we were driving to our hotel there was a waffle house on every exit and sometimes more than one. When there are more waffle houses than Mc Donald’s we had to try it. It was disgusting but I am glad that we went there.
The girl serving us was completely shocked that we didn’t have waffle houses in Utah.

Alabama is truly different. Everyone is very nice but they are always in your business. It’s a little weird. I know that if we ended up moving there we would never have a dull moment.

A funny story of the many funny events while we were there is when we were checking into our hotel the lady working at the front desk grabbed my hand. (While this story takes place she is holding my hand the whole time, and she is a very big black lady that makes tuffer look small)

Front desk lady: let me see your hand, oh my gosh did he get you this.(looking at my wedding ring)
me: yeah
Front desk lady: how long you been married?
me: two years
Front desk lady: Is this your first ring?
me: yeah
Front desk lady: this aint an upgrade?
me: no

Front desk lady: well most girls get a little thing and then they get upgrade. I want to see your upgrade.

WSU

2009-02-19T19:34:00.000-08:00

The school, it is a very pretty campus.

This last week we went to Pullman Washington for an interview. It was the smallest place I have ever been in my life. The biggest city is an hour and a half away ( Spokane ) and I would not call that a big city. But it was fun and different, a little adventure. This pic is of a statue in front of the vet building.

While we were in Washington it was Valentines day!!!! Tuffer got me some new luggage that I had wanted for all of our trips.

He also got me chocolate coved strawberries, 1 pound of fudge and a box of chocolates. He also took me to get a pedicure, something that I love more than anything, but never get to do. Last of all when we got back to our hotel he cooked me an amazing dinner.

This is what it looks like in Pullman Washington.

Our hotel had two bedrooms but no TV in the bedrooms so we decided to move one of the mattresses into the family room so that it would be more cozy.

At another hotel. I am very sick of traveling, traveling is not my thing!

Christmas break

2008-12-22T19:37:00.001-08:00

It was bath time for Oliver and Jim. They are so cute playing with Bubbles.

It was a great snow day. Chritmas break has been great so far. Besides the fact that tuffer had to have his appendix taken out 3 days ago. We have been staying in Alpine with Tuffers family. Also we have been taking pictures like crazy lately because we got a camera for an early Christmas present thanks to my parents. Maybe now I will do a post more than once every few months.

Bear Country USA

2008-10-20T09:56:00.000-07:00

While we were in South Dakota we went to Bear Country USA. It was really cool. We were in our car and could drive through exhibits with all different kinds of animals. Almost all animals were able to roam free. Mountain lions were not one of them. I loved seeing the bears; I could not believe they were right next to the car. I really wanted to just roll down the window and pet one.

South Dakota

2008-10-16T16:08:00.001-07:00

So we are in South Dakota for a dog show. Today we went to Mount Rushmore, it was amazing. This place is crazy we saw some deer and they were not even scared to see people, most the time they run away. Also their are little chipmunks everywhere they are soooooo cute.

I guess this is what people drive here. We were walking around some shops and I could not help myself I had to take a pic. I think we might get one just like it.

Must have

2008-09-27T18:39:00.001-07:00

So I just got these a week ago and I am totally in love. These are so comfortable and cute. I advise everyone to get a pair. I swear you will love them too!

Donuts!!!

2008-09-19T19:29:00.000-07:00

I have been so bad at updating my page lately. So I am just now posting some pics of when I was at home a month ago. While I was home we went to a donut place in Portland or. They have some of the most crazy donuts that you could ever think of. We all had tons of fun ordering and eating all these crazy concoctions.

At the lake with Boston

2008-07-13T21:22:00.001-07:00

We had a great weekend. It started with Friday going to sushi and a movie with Mike and Nicole. I had never been to the sushi place before, it was really good. The movie was good also( Get smart). My favorite part was the popcorn, I love movie theater popcorn. We got the dogs some life vests; so they would have more fun in the water. Sunday we went to a lake up A.F. Canyon with our neighbor Mike and his dog Boston. They had tons of fun. Boston is the sweetest dog. As you can see all of the dogs got very dirty. We had to give them all baths right when we got home. Overall it was a very fun weekend!

Summer Time Fun!

2008-06-28T20:59:00.001-07:00

So we went to a petting zoo at thanksgiving point it was lots of fun! I loved all the animals.

This is the rodeo in P.G. I hated it. I thought they were mean to the animals. I will never go to one ever again.

Jill loves tuffer!

this is tay. She is trying to smile!

Hike

2008-05-30T20:24:00.000-07:00

Today Tuffer and I went on a hike. It was so much fun. The view was absolutely gorgeous. We hiked to the place were we got engaged at. We had a romantic picnic.

Nana

2008-05-09T22:04:00.000-07:00

This is the newest addition to the family. Her name is Nana after the saint bernard on peter pan. She is she sweetest dog ever, we love her very much.

With the family

2008-05-01T18:11:00.000-07:00

Last week we went home and spent some time with the family. Tuffer was pushing the nieces in a luggage cart at 11:00 pm. People could here us in the lobby and we where on the 4th floor, so you can say they had a fun time. Tuffer and Trevor tried on some very hot coats at zumiez they were that they were not able to get them.

Ten years ago. I was 12, wow was that a long time ago. It was my first year of middle school and was totally in my element. I thought that I knew everything and was so mature. Yah right. I played basketball 6 days a week tournaments most weekends. I was tomboy mixed with diva. I always wanted the new cute cloths from the Gap. I was awkwardly tall 5’8.

Three things to do today

1.go to school!

2.Do homework

3. Go to dog classes where we teach our dogs manners.

Jobs I have had

1.Cold stone. I loved this job I got it when I was a senior in high school. The cold stone had just opened in our town. I become very good friends with the owner and stay in touch with her still today. My favorite thing about the job is that I got free ice cream every day.

2. I was paid to decorate my dad’s credit union. Wow I thought I liked shopping until I did that. After that job I never wanted to shop again in my life. Eventually I got over it.

3. Hollywood juice café. That job was special. I worked their for one month and everyone was complaining about how they were not getting paid and I never received a paycheck for the month that I had worked their. So I went to the work meeting to tell my manager I was going to quit. At the meeting I got worker of the month. That made it even harder to tell my manager I was going to quit. I am glad I did because I then got the best job of my life.

4. Costa vida. I loved this job because it was not like going to work it was like going to hang out with my best friends everyday. I met some of my best friends working their and ate a lot of Mexican food ( it was free and I am a college student).

5. Pediatric office. I currently work for my father in law who is a pediatrition. It is lots of fun I am a receptionist and get to play with little children everyday.

Things you didn’t know about me

1. I am a homebody. I would rather spend a day at home in my sweats then go out any time. I love to just hang out in comfortable cloths and relax.

2. I love chocolate cake from Costco. Honestly I would not trust myself alone with one of those. Once when the twins and I went to Britt’s house in Az. Her mom had bought a chocolate Costco cake ever since then I have been hooked.

3. One thing I totally hate is a dirty refrigerator. I do not know why but I have been this way ever since I was young. I hate looking in their for something to eat and having it look disgusting. That makes me not want to eat. I like it to be clean and not overly full. Its weird I know.

4. I love to garden. Yes I know you are thinking am I an 80-year-old woman. No I just love to be out side and I love flowers. Mom my and I gardened a lot when I was younger and ever since then I have loved it. When I was in high school my mom would cut me a huge bouquet every week and put it in my room. I always want fresh flowers in my house when I am older.

5. I love to ride my bike and go on walks. A few weeks ago tuffer and I where on a bike ride and four kids stopped me and told me I had the cool bike. So basically I am the coolest kid in the neighborhood. To bad I didn’t have the bike when I was 6. No but really I like to just be out side and have fresh air and forget about school. It’s a fun way to relax.

Easter with the Sunbeams

2008-03-23T19:49:00.000-07:00

so today was a great Easter Sunday. As many of you know we teach the sunbeams at church. This Sunday was prob. hands down the best! We got their are their was more kids than normal their were six of them. I thought we could handle it; we obviously had no clue what it was going to be like. First Owen was curled in a ball under a chair and would not get up. Then Clark a visitor ran out of sing time crying for his mother. I sent Tuffer to get him. When tuffer got back Owen was in the front of sing time screaming and crying. When Tuffer went to get him, he was mad and would not let Tuffer touch him. So we went and got his mom. We thought that everything that could go wrong did. I was very wrong. Anna my favorite sunbeam was sitting on my lap she got up and my lab was completely wet. I leaned over to Tuffer and said " Anna peed on me". Tuffer just laughed. I then had to go tell the primary president and I went home and changed. We then went to class and asked all the totally hyper kids if they had eaten candy this morning. They all went on to tell us things such as YES I had a chocolate Bunny. It was a great time!!!

For Steph E. Pic's of the house

2008-03-18T13:33:00.000-07:00

Steph always tells me that I need to put pics up of the house but I never do it so this is for you steph. I know it took forever but it took us so long to get it decorated and we still are not done. It costs so much money and time. So we have to do it a little at a time. So hope you enjoy and I cant wait for you to come.

Spring Break

2008-03-18T12:03:00.000-07:00

So this last spring break was busy but not at the same time. My mom came to stay with us and we did lots of fun stuff it consisted of shopping, sewing and eating all the best things. I made a quilt for my future baby. It was tons of fun.

Spring Time!!!!!

2008-03-04T19:15:00.000-08:00

It's starting to feel more like spring time and I noticed that I didn' t have any fun spring flowers. So Tuffer and I made a spring bouquet together. It was really fun and it looks great on the dinner table. It makes me happy to think of nice weather coming soon.

Just another sunday

2008-03-02T15:10:00.000-08:00

I dont know what you like to do on sunday's? Tuffer and I like to put his sweatshirts on the dogs for intertainment. It actually was really funny so we took some pics and wanted to share them with everyone.
