Late night ER trip

Jared and I were just getting ready to have our fun night in together. We has just finished watching Vampire Diaries and were getting ready to watch a movie when we heard Quintin coughing like a seal and then he starting crying.  I ran in there to see him throwing up and trying to catch his breath. So we decided to rush him to the ER to see what is wrong. He had pneumonia last month and wanted to make sure it wasn't something associated with that. So after X-Rays and breathing treatments and steroids he was diagnosed with the croup. We were glad it wasn't anything too scary. My poor baby. We were there until after midnight so when we got home we hit a wall and slept. 

Here he is at home on the couch not wanting me to take a picture of him. :(

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Since my children are part Irish (not me at all) I thought it would be a good idea to "celebrate" St. Patrick's Day with our family. Ian kept telling me, It's not Patrick's day it's Sponge Bob Day. Once again another thing that too much TV has ruined. :) Anyways, I am fully against corned beef  as well as dying your food an unnatural color so we went with stuffed bell peppers for dinner. The boys actually loved it!! I have to admit I was a little worried if they would even try them but they did, and it helped if you hold dessert over their heads. For dessert we had green lime sherbet with 7-UP. Super yummy. Oh and some "homemade" shamrock cookies. All in all we had a fun and memorable dinner. 

5 years and counting

I can not believe that it has been 5 years since I married my best friend.  It all started the week I got home from my mission. I didn't think I would meet my future husband so soon but when it is meant to be it is meant to be. The first time I saw Jared was at a movie night at a mutual friends house. I had gotten up to leave because I had to be somewhere early the next day. After I stood up I saw him sitting with his back against the couch and my heart skipped a beat. Since I had already gotten up to leave I couldn't exactly sit back down again, so I took my chances and left and hoped I would see him again. Well as luck would have it I did see him again that following Thursday and Friday and Sunday. Then he went out of town to Mammoth for a week and didn't tell his family about me at all. After he got back into town we had our first official date to Santa Barbara and we spent every day together since that day. We got married March 11, 2005 for time and all eternity in the Los Angeles Temple.

No here we are 5 years later celebrating with 2 kids!! A lot can happen in 5 years. I love you Jared.

This is my 20 lbs bouquet. My arms we super buff after carrying it round all day. 

I had to throw in a picture of my cake because it was so yummy and we designed it ourselves!!

It's My Party

I was able to host a Pampered Chef party for my favorite Pampered Chef consultant, my sister in law, Katelyn!! I had so much fun looking at all the cool cooking stuff and even more fun eating the yummy food made from that stuff!! Thanks to some very generous friends that came to my party I get to buy some cool stuff!! I can't wait for my Utah party!! Even if you don't want to buy anything it is still so much fun to go and learn about different things!! Thanks Katelyn!!
