I'm awesome

It has been called to my attention that there actually are many people faster than me at typing! My friend Charity got 102, only to be beat by her own mother who got 125! Anyway, I've been working very hard and this is the best I can do. I think it is impossible to beat 125, but I won't give up!

Becoming Jade

She's growing up so fast! I love to see her personality developing. She will be 6 months on Monday, and she has just recently started inch-worming herself around. She can move pretty far, but she hasn't quite figured out how to move when she's up on all fours. Here she is in her first Easter dress.

Still stunned by the camera
She does this new thing where she chews really big on nothing. She's in the middle of a big bite right here.
Her first ponytail! It slid right out though a little while later. But hey, I tried.
Watching Friends...I know, I am a bad mother. But sometimes it helps me get things done.

"Eating" sweet potatoes.
Spring is finally here! Well, at least in Rexburg. This is us at the gardens at BYU-I. Its still snowing in Driggs.



Jade was dancing with her dad.

We went bowling during my birthday-week with Daryn, Jon, my old roommate Amanda, her husband Jeff, and their little baby girl (who is due to arrive next month). I got a 59...

My First Tag!

Thanks Brigitte! Here we go...

Rules of this Tag:
1. Answer the questions about the list of friends and/or family on your blog.


2. If you don’t have 18 names answer the question about the next name that you have not had a question for on your list.

3. Tag 5 people.


When did you first meet the first person on your list? Christianne is my cousin and Adam is her husband. So I guess the first time I met her was when I was a baby and the first time our families visited eachother?

What do you like about the third person on your list's blog? I love all the videos that Amber adds all the time! Her little girl Quinn is the cutest thing (next to Jade of course, haha). I watch her videos and it makes me really excited for Jade to start doing all of the things that she's doing.

What do you like best about the fifth and sixth people on your list? Well since the 5th "person" on my list says "family cruise", I'm going to skip that and go to the next two. So next is Greg and Allice. I still haven't met Greg, who is Allice's husband...but I'm sure he is aMAZing :) Allice and I danced together in college, and she is so talented and so funny! I also love her red hair.

Lucky for Brigitte, she is next on my list! Like most of the friends that I have, I danced with Brigitte...and also with her husband Jeremy actually. They are an awesome couple, and have such a cute new little baby! Brigitte is so much fun and I love that she keeps in touch with me. She makes it easy to keep up with whats going on in her life. She's a woman after my own heart. I also like that she was at BYU-I as long as I was, and that she is as upset as I am that we just barely missed the bachelors degree in dance.

How long have you known the ninth person on your list? I've known Kristen for like 12 years? I don't know...wow I'm getting old. I met her when she moved into our ward in Grand Rapids and she definitely made going to young women more fun. Once again, I haven't met her husband Matt. But I've been stalking their blog for a while now and he's really funny.

What impresses you about the eleventh and twelfth people on your list? Well since I have so many things on my list that are not people, I'm going to skip a couple more and go on to my MOM. So many things impress me about her, I could go on forever. She raised 2 girls as a single mom, and did it more unselfishly than I ever could. She's back in college and doing so awesome! She's like a straight A student and I'm sure she's all of her teacher's favorite. She was a Broadway performer which makes me way jealous. She mows our whole backyard by herself!! haha. Good job mom.

Next is Tara. I have a million things I could say about Tara too. She was always a great example to me in college in all aspects of my life. I was always impressed by her kindness and spirituality, her hard work, and how talented she was. She was a great friend to me and got me through a lot of hard times. She's just an all-around impressive person.


What is a memory you have with the sixteenth person on your list? Oh Jenn :) I have lots of memories with her. Just too many too count...watching Friends, making videos about our boyfriends, talking in our room, the first time Stan came to visit, getting facials right before my wedding...Thanks for the memories!

Say something nice about the eighteenth person on your list. I don't have an 18th person, so I guess the next person that I haven't had a question for would be Derek and Lynette. I've known them both since my freshman year of college. Lynette was one of the best friends I ever had in college. She and I had a lot in common and she helped me through a lot. She is very kind. She and Derek make a perfect couple and I'm so glad they're together and have a sweet little boy.

Tag five people: Well I'm not sure who will see that their name is on here, but I will go ahead and tag my mom, Jenn, Katie, Tara, and Amber.

My happy girl

This little girl just makes me smile all day long. I feel so lucky to be her mommy! She's growing up so fast, I even think she may start crawling in the next month or so. She's such a quick learner. Anyway, here are some moments I couldn't resist getting my camera out for.

Conference Weekend

We visited Aaron's brother Tyler and his family in Twin Falls this weekend to watch General Conference for our church. It still wasn't that warm there but at least all of their snow is melted! So we took a couple of walks and played with the kids. Here is Jade playing piano with her cousins, Madison, Haley, and Kael. She plays by ear just like her family!



Here are some more pictures of her in her exersaucer. She loves this thing! Thanks Aunt Amy.



Jade falls over in both of these videos but I still thought they were cute. She wants to be standing all the time.
