High Jacked

So I have successfully High Jacked Our blog. Liana has no clue this is going on. Its a tad late but she was so busy updating from our anniversary I had to wait. Liana you are the most amazing person I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know. From the day I meet I could tell you were a special person. To this day you still make me nervous sometimes. It has been 3 seemingly short years since we were married. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. Looking at you so beautiful deep into your eyes. Me wondering I don't know what she is thinking to marry me, But i hope she waits 5 more mins to realize what is happening. :)

The last three years have brought many weird and difficult situations. I injured my back and could not walk for months. In the mean time we moved to Pennsylvania. PA of all places the armpit of the east coast. All the trips to NYC who would have thought we would have gone to NYC as many times as we have been. The many Musicals you have seen on Broadway. Me a fan of the Phillies! The many days at the beach in New Jersey.

Missouri Moving to MO was unexpected and sudden. But anything is better than PA! Mo was a fun place to live so close to St. Louis and Navoo. All the friends we made and of course this is where we welcomed Jaxon into our lives that little miracle of ours. He took so long to come but was worth the wait! watching you hold him for the first time was to say the least weird. But to take him home with us was something I'll never forget. You are such a good sport about letting me get so many sports things for him!

So we once again packed our things and brought our little family back to Utah to restart. A road we had been down but were not fond of. However the things we have learned both about life and each other we knew we could work through it. Much to my surprise and the surprise of countless other people I and now in school again. With of course the continuing support of my Beautiful wife. Jaxon is now almost a year old whether or not we are ready for it, and thanks to a dad that loves sports, Jaxon is obsessed with footballs and any other ball he can bounce on the floor or throw.

To the best things to happen in my life so far Liana and Jaxon I love you and think about you both constantly!!!

Exactly 3 Years Ago.....

Joel and Liana were married!
January 25, 2007





This was one of the happiest days of our lives! We have been married for 3 years already! It seems crazy, but we have been through so much together! Lived in 3 different states (Pennsylvania, Missouri, Utah), moved 4 times, had a baby and of course LOVED HARD and FOUGHT HARD! :) We are perfect for each other and he always keeps a smile on my face!


Exactly 1 and 1/2 years ago we were sealed for "time and all eternity". Another AMAZING day in our lives! We were so thankful for all of the love and support of the family members and friends who were there that day!

21st Birthday!

This Wed I turned 21! I had a few different celebrations with my fam and of course got some great gifts!!! Here are a ton of pictures!

So Joel has school every night Monday-Wed. But because Monday was a holiday, we went out with my mom and my sis for my dinner! I chose Los Hermanos! YUM!!! (And the give amazing fried ice cream for birthdays!)


They came and sang me happy birthday... with of course the "mexican" screams and singing! Well it scared the LIVING CRAP out of Jaxon... he was so upset!!!

But after a little of mamas ice cream he was fine! :)

On my actual birthday, Joel skipped his first class and we had a YUMMY cake and opened a couple presents before he left for school!


The next night my dad and his fam took me to Macaroni Grill! Yeah AMAZING!!!!! They brought me the most amazing chocolate cake!


Present breakdown was AMAZING this year! I am very spoiled I know! iTunes card, vinyl sheets, block of wood, paint (for crafting), my very own pink SNUGGIE, MOOLA.... lots of it for shopping, and my sister got me a giftcard to get my nails done! I love it!
Joel took me out on Friday night for CAFE RIO and a movie! Leap Year was cute! I love Amy Adams!
Thanks everyone for everything! I had a great Birthday week! Love you all!

This weekend

Our weekends are usually JAMPACKED with family stuff, shopping, dates, etc! This one was no exception! Here is what our weekend consisted of.....
Date Night!
Yep I know great pic! Haha

{ We went and saw Avatar in 3D. I was very skeptical of this movie!! I HATE HATE HATE Sci-Fi, but I will say I liked this movie and so did Joel! It was pretty cool! }

Living Legends!

{ My mom, sister, her friend Tony and I went to BYU to the show! As usual it was incredible! If you have never seen it, you should! It's worth the $! }

I love my hubby and family for making this weekend so fun!

**Special thanks to Joels parents for watching Jaxon on date night! :) **

YoBaby!

As I have said before, Jaxon is obessed with yogurt!!! He will eat almost any flavor I give him. Which is surprising cuz he is not a fan of fruit. But he loves him some fruity yogurt! I was at the store and saw this....

They are YoBaby meals.. Fruit, Veggies, and Yogurt combined together. I know its sounds NASTY! They have 3 flavors: Apple and Sweet Potato, Pears and Green Beans, Peach and Squash. They cost more then regular yogurt, but I decided to give them a try to mix things up a little! And the result is...

MMM MMM Good! He likes them! Hope its worth the extra money, but they are healthy, organic and different from the same ol' cherry, strawberry, etc... So that's worth it right???

Thought of the Day

I found this quote... due to the current drama in my life right now I wanted to share this:
"Feelings of worth (and love) can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, and where communication is open."
** I feel like this applies in EVERY relationship that matters (Family, jobs, church,school) ! Oh and the drama is not in my marriage don't worry! We are happy as can be!**

My Bubba is 10 months old today!

He army crawls/scoots like a maniac, and loves to chase his toys around on the hard wood floors. Loves his new Christmas toys, and spends all day playing and exploring! He LOVES people food! No more baby food for this kid unless I can trick him into it when we are out and about! If I let him, he would eat yogurt for every meal! Every flavor!

He has had 2 1/2 hair cuts - 1/2 because when he was a little baby we had to trim his mullet! :) I think he forgot that we taught him how to whisper... he loves to vocalize his opinion - Loudly! Gives kisses on occasion, gives "5" like a pro, and only gives cuddles when he is tired. He also sings at church during the hymns.

He is the happiest boy I know and I love him sooooo much! Doesn't he look so grown up? Ah and look at those cheeks! I love kissin them!

New Years Eve PARTY!!!

For New Years Eve this year Joel and I stayed home with Jaxon and partied it up! Haha It was pretty crazy around here! :) LOL!
After we put Jaxon to bed we worked on a puzzle in our PJs! Joel was not thrilled with the puzzle idea, but I thought it was fun! We also watched the New Years festivities in New York on TV.

I can honestly say spending New Years with my little family at home was GREAT!
