Sisters Weekend!!

My sisters and i had sooooooo much fun this weekend on our girls weekend! I have to say i was a little nervous to leave Blake. I didnt know how i would take leaving him and not being able to say goodnight and good morning to him. Surprisingly i did very well! I think i need the extra sleep! HAHA!

We started the night off on Friday night by going to Outback Steakhouse for dinner! It was super yummy! WE got to catch up on a lot of things that have been going on in our lives. We dont get to do that very often without out a baby screaming or kids going crazy! After that we went and checked into our hotel! When we first got there we felt a little uneasy seeing as the neighborhood was really scary and the hotel looked a little dumpy. But we sucked it up and checked in. We told the guy checking us in that we were planning on going and getting some ice cream, he said, " I wouldnt suggest leaving by yourself it is a pretty scary neighbor hood i dont even go out there by myself." O my goodness we were like holy cow!! YIKES! So we bravely go up to our room to find even more scariness!!! Lets just say there was a lot of blood on various places of our room, macaroni in the bathroom and skittles on the floor. After some phone calls to my parents to try to get us out of our non refundable tickets, we decided to go down and show them the pictures and to make a very long story short, we ended up at a very nice Marriott hotel in draper! The room was great! Super cute!

The next day and a half were filled with lots of shopping, yummy food, pedicures, lots of talking and laughing and a yummy trip to Rodizio grill. We seriously had such a fun time! I love that all three of us get a long so well. We have not had this opportunity since high school and i can definitely say we have all gotten A lOT more mature. And in other aspects of maturity we have definitely stayed the same! HAHAHA! For instance Lindsay still makes the same nasty faces in pictures, Macy still makes extremely weird noises pretty much all day long! Of course i am perfect! HAHA just kidding i still crack stupid jokes that i think are funny and no one else does( thanks dad)!

All in all it was the best time i have had in a while. Even though i missed Blake and Chance so much it was much needed! Chance got to stay home and watch Blake and Weston! He had his brother and sister come over to help and things went really well. Chance is such a good dad and so good with kids that we didnt even have to worry! Thanks Lindsay and Macy for the super fun weekend! These pictures are all out of order! O well!
Me and Lindsay at Rodizio Grill. It is so crazy that we both are married with kids. The whole weekend to me just felt like we were back in high school! Lindsay and i got asked if we were twins! HAHAHAHA! I dont see it!
We got our toes done! It felt so nice after 7 hours of shopping!
The massage chairs felt so good as well!
Yummy chocolate dipped strawberries! O man i am craving them! We also got chocolate dipped raspberries.
It was the cutest candy store where we got our chocolate treats!
Typical Lindsay! She thought it was so funny to put this hat on! She was strutting around the whole store laughing at herself!
Ok has anyone ever seen Macys face like this????!!!!! I think i got scared! Honestly she looks like she is going to punch me. She has no idea why she made this face but i am a little worried about it!
Before we left for shopping! Macy hated her outfit but i absolutely loved it! She looked so good!
The much nicer cuter hotel!Look how cute the beds are!! Also the breakfast area in the morning had the best waffles!
This was at outback our first night out! I think our server had a little crush on our table. He was so awkward and couldnt even look any of us in the eye. I found it pretty funny!

I will blog a little later about the kids fun time!!

Trip to Reno

We just got back from a super fun trip to Reno for spring break! We decided kind of last minute to go to Reno for spring break. My mom and dad were dying to see Blake and we didnt have anything else to do. Chance had a final on Tuesday night for his dance class so we left on Wednesday morning at 5AM!!! YUCK! leaving that early was actually not as bad as we thought it would be. Blake slept most of the way. He slept all the way to Elko! HAHA! Then he woke up and played for a little bit and ate some yummy yogurt and string cheese then he went back to sleep for another 2 hours. He is the best traveler! We got really lucky. We made it to Reno by noon which was awesome!

The whole trip there was a lot of fun! The only complaint i had was i wished my dad wasnt working so much, we didnt really get to spend a whole lot of time with him. But you better believe that my dad fell in love with Blake. They were making each other laugh every time they were together. My dad thinks Blake is really funny.

We got to spend a lot of time with my mom. She as well fell in love with Blake. She could not get enough of him! In fact i was starting to miss him because of course she wanted him all the time. I loved that. Blake in turn LOVED his Sheshe! HE seriously a lot of the time wouldnt even come to me because he just wanted to stay with her. I loved that as well. He loved her right off the bat. My mom never wanted to let him go! We spent a lot of time at my moms work when she was working. She has lots of treats and a balloon and a ball for Blake to have while we were there. Blake attracted quite a crowd when we were there. Man can he make people smile! We got to eat at a lot of yummy places, do A LOT of shopping and watch some fun movies. My mom bought Blake some cute outfits! I love spending time with my mom and seeing what a great grandma Sheshe she is with Blake. Chance and I both really wished they lived closer! One day!!

a couple mornings my mom came up at like 6am when Blake woke up and took him downstairs and played with him so we could get some more sleep! That was amazing thank you mom!!

We love you Mom and Dad! Thank you so much for everything!

SheShe and Blake before we left!
I love Blakes new church outfit! He is so happy to be with his SheShe

Funny and sad story........ Blake loved this rocking dog! HE rocked himself! HAHAHA! I didnt know he was old enough to do that! He rocked himself so hard that he started to fall off so i tried to grab him and ended up scratching his face. I was so sad he was bleeding. So in some of the pics you can see his scab. So sadWe got to go to dinner at Outback with my grandmama and her husband Allen. We had a lot of fun. It was fun catching up with them.
So this picture and the next couple pics were at the airport. My best friend toris brother got home from his mission last friday. So we all got to go to the airport and welcome him home. He looked great and sounded so mature. It was so weird to see him so grown up! It sounds like he had a lot of spiritual amazing experiences. We are proud of him for being so diligent in serving a mission!
That is Kevin! He is not normally that tan! HAHAHA! We were all like WOW he is so dark! He served his mission in Guam so that explains it!
Best friend tori her little boy and Kevin.
Here he is when he got off the plane! I started crying because i miss my brother so much! It is really hard watching all these missionarys come home and i dont get to have my brother home. But i am so glad he is serving a mission!
Me and Tori. We have not gotten a picture together in a really long time. How cute are we??!!
Blakers and Kolby! Kolby loves babies. He kept pointing at him and saying baby! It was pretty cute.
Chance and Blake strolling around the airport waiting for Kevins plane to get in.
SheShe and Crampa! Blake loved playing with my dads furry face! HAHA! Anytime my dad was in the room Blake would just get a big smile!
I love this cute outfit! Blake made a huge mess at my moms desk with his saltine crackers.
Most of the time Blake is pretty good at keeping his hat on. But when he finally realizes it is on he of course takes it off!
Ok seriously Blake loves balloons! If we walk through a store that has balloons he goes crazy!! It is so funny!

Blake loves to dance! My mom thought it was pretty funny!

2 Years down......... Eternity to go!

Chance and i got to celebrate our 2nd anniversary on Saturday. I cant believe it really has been 2 years. That was the quickest 2 years of my life. I have to say i feel pretty lucky. I really do have the best marriage. Sure we have our fights and sometimes feel like we are just too opposite, but for the most part things really couldnt get better. Chance is the best husband. He is so in tune with all my needs and makes sure everyday that i am all taken care of. He is so selfless. He always puts my needs before his and most importantly he puts Heavenly Father above anything else. Chance really can brighten anyones days. Even people he doesnt know very well. Chance is very funny. He says the most random things and does the most random stuff. Even my brother Reilly, who is on a mission, constantly asks me to email him stories about the random weird crazy funny things chance has done lately. I love it. He makes us so happy. He is also the best dad. Blake seriously is so attached to his daddy. Chance can get Blake laughing so hard i love it! He also loves his tender moments with Blake like when he can sing to him and rock him to sleep, or when he gets to spend one on one time with him. We have such a great relationship and i just am so excited for what i have to look forward to in the future. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much!

I love you Chance! Thank you so much for making me the happiest i have ever been. You truly are and amazing person.

We went to a yummy dinner at carrabas that night and ran errands all day long! We are going to reno this week and are really going to celebrate when we get there. I got Chance a sweet suit and he got me 2 really cute pair of jeans from buckle!

Almost there!!

Recently Blake has been getting a lot of tummy time because i want him to crawl on his hands and knees soooooo bad! He is almost there! He is so close. It actually sometimes becomes so frustrating that i just have to sit him on his bum and i need to take a break! HAHA shouldnt it be the other way around??? Blake loves being able to crawl but sometimes he even gets so frustrated that he cant go faster, so he will just start crying. Of course i leave him there for just a little bit to see if he will just suck it up and go but my cute little man just always has to do things on his own time. I think i really really love that about him. Hopefully he will be a leader when he is older! He also has 2 teeth and i finally got a picture of them! I know what a miracle! Blake has been really sick lately with ear infections and congestion, so after i give him all his meds he is one happy boy! Thats how i got the picture.

It doesnt matter how sick he is this little boy is still so happy. Except at night when he wakes up 100 times! How do you like that yummy drool! Gross! Worst part about teething!
This is his favorite ball. He goes crazy when he sees it. And the walker sitting next him, he actually uses. I will video that another day it is pretty cute.
There they are! Yep they are sharp and hurt really bad when he bites you!

So it has been brought to my attention that my blog has not been updated in a really long time! So here i am! It has been so crazy lately! We moved out of one place and then was told the next day we had to move out of that place and we had a month to find another place!!! Well tomorrow is the last day we are able to live in this place and dont really have anywhere else lined up!! So needless to say i have not really had a whole lot of time! But we have had alot of things going on that i know i need to update about! So this will be a long post but well worth it!!!

First off Valentines day was great!!! We have so many holidays and birthdays coming up that we felt we could do something small for Valentines day! So i woke up in the morning and Chance had beautiful flowers for me and some yummy chocolate strawberries!!! Chance had to go to school so i took Blake and got Macy some cookies and flowers and dropped them off to her at her dorm! Then Chance got home and we dropped Blake off with my friend Nicole and we went to dinner at Rodizio Grill. It was super yummy!! It was the perfect day!! For Blake for Valentines day we got him a bag of balloons and blew them up and let him go crazy!!
O boy did he love his present!! He still has 2 balloons left and plays with then everyday!
I love him in just a diaper!
We took Blake to the park the otherday because it was a beautiful day and he loved the swings!!! He just relaxed and loved it!!

Pretty cute!!Chance and i have been so stressed lately and we just felt that we needed a night out! The thing that makes us the most happy is seeing Blake smile and have fun! So we decided to take him to a place called Pirate Island. It is like a Chucke Cheese but all Pirate! A man Blake had so much fun! Here are some pictures!This was right before we left! I love my little man he looks so cute in hats!
Such a big boy!
This is when we first walked in! Blake kept look at that pirate like, " Who the heck is that??!!" HAHA!
Look how cool this is!
He didnt really know what to think about the slide.
Just really enjoying some ranch! This boy loves to eat! I mean i dont even know if he ever gets full!! He loves anything and everything.
He loved watching all the kids! I couldnt even get his attention to give him some bread!

Vroom Vroom!!
Skee Ball was his favorite! Of course he loves balls. It is so cute. I kept rolling them and he would try to get them and get all excited about it! It was pretty cute.
These were the prizes we got Blake with our tickets! Trust me i wasnt too excited about all the candy bu that was all they had!So this is random...... Chance brought out one of his shirts that he wore when......... lets just say......... he was a lot bigger! HAHAHA!!! Blake fit inside the shirt no problem!


He has really been in a stage where he thinks everything is funny! I love this stage! He is so funny! He smiles at everyone and when they smile back he thinks it is funny! in my family we joke about Blakes PERMA smile! It is so funny he stares at people forever with a hug smile on his face! I just love it!!

Teeth

Just about 8 and 1/2 months and Blake has teeth!!!! Yep not 1 tooth but 2 teeth!!! YAY!!! All that being sick and grumpy finally paid off!!! He got his 2 front bottom teeth! It is so cute! He is always moving his tongue over them trying to feel them! This is a little bitter sweet. I love how cute he is but when they really start to show he is going to look so much bigger! Man he is just getting so big so faster it is making me a little sad! Almost making me want another one here soon! haha just kidding mom, Lindsay and Macy no need to call me freaking out! HAHA! Blake is also loving pulling himself up. Whenever i go to sit b y him. He grabs my arms an pulls himself up. Its pretty cute! He wont let me take a picture of his teeth but hopefully soon i will get to!!! Here are just some random pictures of the past couple days.

On a side note............ We finally moved into our new place and then the day after our landlord comes down and tells us that his wife never wanted to rent out the basement and she feels like her privacy is lost so we have to find yet another new place to live!!!! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I cant stand moving! O well i guess there is something better waiting for us! He gave us this month free so with the money we saved we are going to buy food storage! Pretty excited!

For a very long time now Blake has been obsessed with mirrors and now he as found that he can use the TV as a mirror and he is really excited about it!
He likes loxes
Chance thought this was really funny! I did to! Blake just goes up and down and all around! He thinks its fun!
I dont know what it is about his highchair but he loves being in it!
When we moved in i sat him in this box with toys and he played for over an hour!
So in my old ward i went over to this ladies house and she had this built for her granddaughters! Is that not the cutest thing! I have to have it in my house for my daughters!
O man we definitely have an athlete on our hands! And sports ball he finds he goes crazy over!
