WTF

I have tried and tried to upload pics and update my blog but no matter what computer i am using it NEVER works! And it takes so long that I do not have the pacience or time to keep trying! I am so mad right now I am done trying to blog!

PACE FACE!

Today we went down to the river to play and when we got back we were rinsing off the sand - his diaper was full of 2 pounds of water so I hosed him off naked! (Tay is worried that our neighbors think we are white trash which makes me laugh cause according to tays parents he was always naked- wearing cowboy boots!) Anyways, as I ran into the house to get a towel I came out to see this!! HAHAHA how could I not take a picture! Im sorry if this offends anyone but if it does... dont read my blog!!! He is such a cutie- I love my life.

ADDIS FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!

I can't believe my little girl has grown up so fast! I seriously feel like it was just last week that I was in the hospital with my family (ya we totally had a party in labor and delivery... kinda weird but I was drugged!) giving birth! She is and always has been so full of life! She is my little social butterfly and a true diva! She has been so excited to start school and although it is hard to let go I am looking forward to this new adventure in our lives! I love my Addi bears!

Addi turned 4 on Aug 12th!! We had Tays fam over that night(I need some of those pics Mj!) and then a couple weeks later we had a combined birthday with our cute little neighbor Daisy who tuned 2 the week after. So.. this blow up slide we got from my aunt Amy was freakin awesome! The kids had a blast on it! (and then after they all left I secretly went down it a few times!) We also had a pinata and root beer floats and some killer cup cakes!(Thanks Shanna!) It was a huge success!

Kelli Jacobson is now under the facebook spell!

Ok so I dont know why but I am always the last to give into these rediculous web page fads, but I have to admit that once I do... I become obsessed! I finally got a face book page so now my blogging has been put (way) on the back burner. Just the fact that I have 2 kids and not a whole lot of time to waste on the internet means that I can only make time for one thing and right now facebook has become fasinating to me! So.. many.. people! Oh yes and I love that all my thoughts are now coming to me in third person! So... even though no one probably reads or even looks at my blogs anymore, I will try to sqeeze in some blogging time anyways! Peace out my bloggin brothas! (Kelli Jacobson just remembered that she is a white 24 year old female that probably isnt as cool as she thinks she is!)

HAIR CUT!

Oh man! I have been talking about cutting my hair for a while now and everyone kept giving me crap about how Im never gonna do it! So stupid me I did it to prove them all wrong... and now... seriously regretting it! What was I thinking! Three long years of my life to grow it out to a length that I loved and now gone with one snip of a 13 inch pony tail! I feel a little bit better that I donated it to locks of love but... not really! Its just hair right?!

My dear friend Krystal (my first friend in St. George!) and her husband Derek just lost their baby, Deyton Kash this morning after his 4 day battle with a heart condition. What a sweet adorable little guy perfect in every way except for his little heart. My heart aches for them, I can not imagine what they are going through. After having children of my own it brings on a whole new sorrow to think about all that you do and sacrifice to get them here. I think about the amazing people Krystal and Derek are and how in the world does this wonderful couple deserve to have these trials they have had the last few years, but I know in my heart that Heavenly Father does not give us trials that we cannot handle and to see what they have gone through just proves how strong and how truley amazing they are. I love you two, my love, tears, and prayers are with you.

Out of practice!!

So... a few months ago I tried to upload Payson's 1st birthday pics among other ones I was falling behind on and after a couple hours of frustration (my computer would not coroperate) I finally gave up and havent blogged since!! So since then we have had tons of fun adventures, lots of BBQ's, camping trip to the Grand Canyon, birthday parties, dance recitals, and lots of fun and sillyness! We got together with Tays family over the weekend and took a few family pics but lets be honest.... with 2 small children and a 20 year old autistic brother in law... it was hard to get everyone looking decent! But it was fun and I just wish my AMAZING mother in law was in the pictures!! I am so greatful to have married into such a wonderful family!

6 for 10

My uncle and his wife asked me to come up north and stay with his four girls for 10 days while they were in Mexico, I knew it would be tough cause I would also have my two kids but I figured what the heck! They will have so much fun with their cousins that they dont see very often. They had tonz of fun playin, dancing, painting, we made smores, they took bubble baths, had matching hair styles every day, they all were in heaven! We even made it up to temple square for a picnic! Lisa (my aunt) bought them prizes, matching pajamas, bears, dressups... It was rough on me cause tay had to stay home for school, but some how I made it through and at moments even had a little fun myself!

Thanks NANA!

My sweet grandma helped me so much! Im so glad that I got to spend time with her it was so nice to have her close by. Payson took his first steps that week! Nana and I kept having him walk back and forth to us and she thought it was so cute that he would hang his tounge out like he was concetrating so hard!

Four days of Birthday!

My birthday was in Jan butI am trying to catch up from 4 months of no blogging!! I got to have 4 days of celebrating this year... my neighborhood girls got together and took me out for a fancy dinner, fried doughnuts (yummy!), and then we went and saw bride wars... I had soo much fun, thanks girls!!

Tay and I got to spend the next day together eating, shopping, and then we hit up a movie ( all my favorite things to do with my favorite person!

We had dinner with my family Sunday and then the next night my wonderful mother and brother in law took me to Samuri! It was such an awesome birthday! I felt so special!!

Caribbean Cruise!!

So Tay and I, along with our friends the Riley's (Dan and Nichole) decided back in March that we were gonna go on a fun caribbean cruise! We first thought of going down to the Bahanmas but because of Tays love for Regae and Bob Marley we thought... what the heck, lets go to Jamaica! We sailed on a brand new ship, the Ruby Princess that was really nice! We had a blast... only problem is that we took about a million and a half pictures and on the second to last day something happened with our camera and they ALL got erased!!! ALL OF THEM! I was sooooo upset cause I have to say we got some good pics! Luckily the Riley's got a few pics with us in them and so atleast we have a few good ones. I guess we will just have to go back again!:)

Ship Fun!

Three reasons why I love cruisen... 1. Limitless, wonderful food! 2. lots of good entertainment! 3. You get pampered like little adult babies... (I loved having my room cleaned and my clothes folded for me) and I also have to admit that its fun to get all dressed up once and a while!

I love the little old man in the picture! ( I wish I could remember his name) He was aWorld War II hero and had such awesome stories! We told him he could be in our pic and he got so excited! Old people are so dang cute:)

JAMAICA!!

Jamaica was amazing! We stopped in Ocho Rios and decided to hire a Jamaican to be our personal tour guide and take us up to the house Bob Marley was born in. We drove an hour or so towards the middle of the island and up through the lush green country side! We went to Bob's house as well as his grave and the grave of his mother who passed away about a year or so ago. One of the best parts was that the guy that gave us a tour was this older Jamican guy that was actually friends with and grew up with Bob Marley. He said that they were "cousins" but then he also said that in Jamaica they are all "one love" and one family. It was such a cool experience and Tay was in heaven! We got some good pics but since they were erased we used some of the Riley's pics. They got some good ones too:) I tried to upload this awesome video of "Fuzzy" aka bob's cousin singing some songs but it was too long... bummer!

Cute old Jamaican Lady... I love their accents!

Bob's chair where he did his "thinking"...

Cozumelle, Mexico!

I have to admit that I wasn't as excited to go to Mexico as I was our other stops but once we got there it was so gorgous that it ended up being one of my favorite places! We had so much fun that day! We went to this beautiful private beach where there was no one and snorkeled for a couple hours, we also went rock climbing, repelling, and ziplining!! It was such a blast I can't wait to go back!

Grand Cayman and Snorkeling pics!

We did some AWESOME snorkeling in Grand Cayman and Cozumelle. The water was so clear and beautiful! Tay found this really sweet conche laying at the bottom of the ocean. He was so excited and I have to say its one of my fav souvineers!

MJ's new pic!

Savanah, (not my sis) but Tays awesome cousin brought up a good point. When I did my tribute to my bro in law Mj, why did I not post this awesome pic of him doing his famous herkie? Truth is, I didn't know where to get ahold of it! Thanks Savy! ...haha, Mj you amaze me!
