CHristMas 2010! FInalLy ALl CAUghT Up!!















Christmas this year was awesome! Tate is at such a fun age now! while he still doesnt quite understand, and yes, he is terrified of santa, he still gets so excited
when he sees all the decorations and lights! Opening presents was hilarios too becuase he couldnt get over all the balloons!! Next year santa might just have to get balloons and not waste time on presents! (doubt it though!)

TaKIn A CRuISe WiTH My SwEEtheARt & FrIEnds!

We planned it for months and it FINALLY came! Our cruise to cozumel, mexico and The Cayman Islands! We left right before my birthday on a midnight flight thinking that NOTHING could go wrong. Boy were we wrong! First, our connecting flight was cancelled in Atlanta Georgia. They couldnt get us a flight in time to actually catch our Ship! We were freaking out when the NICEST lady from out the blue helped us out and took us off stand by to give us the last 8 seats to tampa! We would arrive just in time! However, when we get there it turns out weather has permitted the boat to come into dock, so we ended up losing a whole day on the ship! which meant that we didnt get to go to the cayman islands :( Which actually turned out to be a GOOD thing becuase our luggage got lost on another flight and didnt end up coming to Tampa until late that night! And all that took place on my Birthday!! BUT BUT BUT!!! once we got on the ship, we had an AMAZING time! I have never had so much fun with my loving husband. he made the experience rememberable! Ofcourse, we had all our great friends there with us to make the experience even batter! Michael and christa Clonts, Tanner and Amy Larson, Seth and JosyLyn Larson, And Shawn and Val Beals! Thanks everyone!! It was awesome! I cant wait to take another trip with you all! But maybe next time, not in Dec to avoid weather issues :)





































NeW LIfe CHAngInG EVentS!

Well, in the midst of our Crazy life, we decided to make 2 life changing decisions. Our First decision was to buy a new home! Yes, we already own one house, but its still being rented out right now and werent too sure we ever really wanted to live in that house again. (due to the whole drug bust incident) If you dont know what Im talking about, then youll have to contact me lol ANYWAYS!! Our new home is a 4 bedroom 2 bath house. it also has an extra large room in which we use as Tates playroom, for now. Jon wants to turn it into his own pesonal gym. It has an enclosed backyard, which makes us want to new puppy BAD! We're excited to start over in a new house thats located in safford. We are also starting over in a new ward; 6th ward. So far, the ward has been very friendly and welcoming! We love our new place and it beats renting!!!

Our Second life changin event was a little bit more out of our hands, but we welcome the news and surprise! We are expecting another baby. This little firecracker is due on July 4th and we cant wait to meet her/him! First ultrsounds so far have proven a healthy baby! there was a while when the docs thought it could be twins, but its only one for sure now! (thank goodness!) I will keep you posted as more information becomes available! Cant wait though!

My LiL MaNS 1St BIrtHdaY!!!

So I have to admitt, I have NOT been keeping up very well with our familys blog. Not that i believe people are waiting day or night for my next BIG post or anything :) But I do want to keep updated for my sake and for my family. So Im going to try and remember all the exciting events I have missed in the lastfew months. Starting with one MAJOR one; TATES FIRST BIRTHDAY


For Taters first birthday we had a "farmed themed" event. We got everything from the cow print balloons to the barn shaped pinata! We invited all of our friends and family. There was TONS of pizza and a BEAUTIFUL cow print caked that my sister Christa made special for Tate! He was overwhelmed with the birthday song, but he LOVED the cake afterwards! He also didnt quite understand how to open presents, but he liked what always came out! Thank you everyone who brought him gifts! He was WAY WAY too SPOILED that day! But thats my baby boy! Love you tate!
