Cute Jack Picture

2011-06-17T13:50:00.000-06:00

This was just a cute picture of Jack while we were camping last weekend. That is all. Stole it from my sister's blog.

Jack Turns Two :)

2011-06-16T23:17:00.000-06:00

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY JACK!!!!!!

Jack has been the best thing to have ever happened to us and I can't believe he is 2! So fast...

He is the coolest dude. Right now he loves dinosaurs, hammering things, animals and learning their noises, beginning to like his little brother, Luke.

Loves watching 'Roar' (How to Train Your Dragon)

He loves to do his own thing and will sit in his rocking chair and read his books.

We love you Jack!!!!!!!

Randomness

2011-05-18T16:30:00.000-06:00

So here are a bunch of pictures that loaded randomly.

This is Jack's chair. He sits here when he first wakes up in the morning, from naps and when it's 'night night' time. He always has to have his 'Jue jue' (his drink of milk in the morning) and his two blankets (which were mine when I was little and yes they're girlyish). Most of the time he also wants his doggie (which he is perched on) and his turtle.

Jack 'helping' dad with gardening. Jack loves to be outside and has learned how to open the sliding door and will disappear when mommy is getting ready. Mom will have to figure out a way to rig it so he can't figure out the door.

This is Luke. He just had his 2 month appt today. He is 12.12 lbs and 24 inches long. He's a tall kid and a good baby. Too bad he has a double ear infection right now :(

We recently came back from a trip to Moab and Bull Frog/Lake Powell. So much fun. This is Josh and Jack when we played at Arches National Park. We had a lot of fun and Jack is a little climber.

At Dead Horse Point and Jack just woke up from a nap. I love pictures of him crying...

Dead Horse Point.

Jack on the back of the boat at Lake Powell. He LOVED it. The water was very cold but it was really fun. This picture was one of 50 and the only one he finally looked at me on. He really wanted to jump in the 'bubbles' (water) but kept trying to push me and Josh off the back of it so we would go in first.

Luke in his newborn life jacket. Luke slept most of the time in his car seat. I was worried having him along on the boat but he did so good and the weather was perfect. We would just cover him up in his carseat and we would have to make sure he was still in there because he was so good.

Jack likes to wear his SL Bee's baseball helmet around the house. He never stands still enough for me to take a picture.

This is Jack holding Luke for the first time....No words...

Jack kept pointing at Luke because he was crying and saying 'Uh-oh Mama.'

Jack wanting to be the baby. We set up the playpen for when Luke would arrive and Jack had to be in it...

Jack and Emery playing at my parent's house. These two are pretty funny to watch play together. They are only 3 months apart.

Luke and his sad face. So cute.

Baby #2 Pic

2011-02-22T20:54:00.003-07:00

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to share a cute pic of Luke, or baby #2. We got this cute face pic from the ultrasound on Monday.

things are going well with the pregnancy, just hanging in there this last month. PS, this pregnancy is totally different than the last one. Luke definitely is moving more than what Jack did and I'm already starting to feel the smaller contractions. I even had to call the hospital to ask what Braxton-Hicks felt like because I had no idea and the nurse I was talking to had to ask if this was my first baby... So that was fun. that is all, I'm sure Josh will post some stuff on here once we have the babe. So long.

Mommy is moving up!

2010-10-29T15:44:00.002-06:00

Whazzzz Uppp everybody! Guess what, mommy got a sweet promotion today at work. She will be the new HR Rep at St. Mark's Hospital. Daddy says this is his ticket to staying home and play XBOX while mommy brings home the bacon; whatever that means. Anywas, if you see my mommy, tell her congratulations and super duper job sticking with it.

Also, I will be a tiger for Halloween, so if you see me on your doorstep trick or treating, don't give me Snickers and Twix. Daddy says that he will go through and pick out all the bad candy that I wont like, such as, Snickers and Twix's.

P.S. My daddy helped me write this, so don't think mommy is conceited.

2010-10-21T16:10:00.002-06:00

Anyone there? I figure since mommy hasn't posted anything and really let the blog world down, I would get my chubby little sausage fingers on this computer and give you some gossip.

First off, I am going to be a big brother. Yep, someone to boss around and drool on. Mommy is due around April 1st, April Fool's.

We just got back from Hawaii and I spent a full 2 minutes in the ocean before I got scared of the waves and cried. But I did get some quality pool time in and worked on my tan. I didn't realize Hawaii was four hours behind Utah time, so I decided to wake up a 2 am. Needless to say, by noon, I was melting down and we only had 8 more hours to go. Luckily mommy & daddy spent a lot of money to hang out with me at the Polynesian Cultural Center while I cried and was bratty. I went to Pearl Harbor and was attacked by some Asian people, that kept telling me how cute I was and taking pictures. Mom & Dad were so perplexed that random Asian people would just kneel down and take pictures with me; I believe I could be the Asian Brad Pit. Finally we arrived in Kona where Grandma & Grandpa was. After a sweet week in Kona, we had to come home.

Any who, I hope my mommy downloads some pictures of the last few months from her camera, then I can post them. See Ya!

Ashley is a Educated Lady

2010-05-03T09:52:00.001-06:00

Congratulations to Ashley, she did it and is a official college graduate. It was a long road, but Jack and I am super proud of her for stick with it through pregnancy, a baby and a needy husband. I can't wait until she is my sugar momma and I can stay home and eat sandwiches and bon bon's all day. Love you and we are so proud. Love you Mommy!

Best of Utah!

2010-04-07T19:01:00.003-06:00

I just wanted to say congrats to Josh for being named, 'Best of Utah 2010 for Best Big Bang For Your Buck.' Well, they didn't really name Josh right out but he is over Utah with Lantis Fireworks and they listed his phone number, AND he is the best (I'm not being biased). Josh got a call today from someone from CityWeekly letting him know that he made the cut. Hopefully he will find out who nominated him for this cool thing. He will be on Fox Morning News tomorrow and on X96 for anyone who watches or listens during the 8am hour. Congrats Josh!!!!!!!!

Help! I think Josh's dog, Makaila, is going crazy.

We don't know what to do. When she is home alone, she digs holes . . . into our walls. She has never done this before until two summers ago and she has been working on this hole here.Isn't it pretty

I'm afraid that this coming summer she will tear through the other side and we'll find her in our garage one day when we come home.
Back story . . .

We've had to close her doggy door to the outside world because she would tear open our chain link fence and get out. Yes, she would tear through metal fencing which has totally ruined her teeth. We think she would try to find Josh because she couldn't handle being left behind. One night she got out as usual but we could not find her for a week until our next door neighbor found her running along the street three blocks away from our neighborhood. So now to make sure Makaila stays around, she is a prisoner in our home. But really, I don't think she minds as long as she is with Josh, her master. My theory is that she has separation anxiety from Josh. But these episodes don't happen all of the time, it comes and goes, it is so weird. Then, I get home today from work, and she has started to rip up the molding outside our bedroom door.
Yes, that is blood smudged around it

We don't understand what is going on with her. Any suggestions would be fantastic!

Southern Utah Extravaganza

2010-03-02T19:17:00.011-07:00

We went down to Southern Utah this past weekend to relax and to get out of town. But we should have realized that Jack was going to be a pill during the trip right from the beginning. The first sign was when we were going down the road to get on the freeway. Josh and Jack had picked me up from work and we were heading straight to St. George from there. I reached back and gave my child a ritz cracker bite and he started to gag a bit. Well that gagging led to him puking out the mass amounts of apple juice (which he loves) he just guzzled down on the car ride over to pick me up. It was ALL over. Ugh. Jack wasn't terrible, he was just really whiney which I cannot handle. Although, every moment I spend with Jack helps me realize more things about myself.
One- I have a lot more patience than what I thought I had.
Two- No matter what your plans are, a child can change those plans if they are in a bad mood.

(this picture is hilarious)

Three- Josh has less patience than I do. Well I guess that's not about me but I end up picking up some of the 'Patience Slack.'
Four- I never thought this was possible, but I CAN function even though I never get a full night's sleep. I envision a full night's sleep as the Holy Grail. Maybe it is something that only Jesus can give me. I mean, I realized that sleep was going to be tough to come by at the beginning, but c'mon Jack, give me a break here! (sorry, this subject is a sore one for me)

Oh well. Here are a few pics of our trip.

I have so many pictures of him trying to put his mouth on the bottle
but he couldn't get it, this one is the funniest one.

One of the happier moments of the trip
We ran into a squirrel on one of the trails in Zion's. It distracted Jack long enough to stop crying. Ah, memories.
This picture I imagine Jack flipping me off if he could
This one is a framer

Carzy Month

2010-02-24T15:40:00.003-07:00

Hey guys,

I was just checking my stock portfolio and decided I needed to update my blog, I am following my mommy. Anyways, I finally got over the fear of crawling and I am all over the place; my favorite place to visit is the furnace vents, I like to play them like a guitar. I am also interested in the hall night light and electrical sockets, its weird, every time just before I get my hands on them to investigate, mommy and daddy come running over and tell me no; I guess there is something reeeeaaalllyy good in there so I will keep trying. I am also climbing on stuff and able to stand on my own. Today I got up in my crib and scared daddy as he came over to my crib, I was squatting down and then popped up and scared him, it was funny. Any was, I am going with daddy on his work trip to St. George and when he is done we are going to Zion National Park. I can't wait, we are going to stay in a cabin. I get to spend the whole day with mommy on Friday, I think I might get to go swimming for the first time if it is warm enough, cross your fingers. I am also really proud of my mommy, she is going to be getting her Business Degree in the next month or two, she really smart. I went to mommy's work the other day with daddy and had lunch, it was fun; here is a picture of me at the cafeteria.

Well, I will let you know how my trip went and post some pictures soon.

Peace out homies, Jack

Hey Guys

2010-01-27T10:33:00.004-07:00

Hey guys,

I am back to blogging and ready to gnaw on the computer. Since my last post, I have been trying a lot of new things. I still am a fan of my oranges, but I have been shoving a lot of other things in my mouth, I find the messier the better. Mom and Dad got me a high chair, so I have been doing some more food experiments on the tray. The other day, I mixed a formula bottle with puffs and corn; delicious. Mom gave me some soft black beans yesterday, sorry to whomever gets to change me today. I love me some baby back ribs.

I am so close to crawling, but just can't figure to move my arm with my leg. Does anyone have advice on preventing rug burn on my knees, I think sub-consciously I am afraid of rug burn and that is why I don't want to crawl. I am rolling all over the place, daddy thinks its funny when I get stuck under the couch and he has to come get me. Any who, its nap time, so I gotta go. Talk to you soon.

It's Jack!

2010-01-19T20:30:00.015-07:00

Hi Everyone, this is Jack. My mom totally sucks at blogging so I've decided to take over and let you know about me. I'm 7 months old and I weigh 20lbs. I love to eat mandarin oranges and sweet potatoes. I like to spit out all of my baby food and rub my hand all over my face because it's fun to see my mom try to wipe it out of my nose. I love to roll and I'm close to crawling and have two teeth in my mouth. Here are a few pictures of me because I'm the cutest.

This is my cute butt and thigh roles. The girls drool for me. No, literally, they drool.

Here is me and my cousins. Emery, the littlest, will be my favorite because she's my age. Boston is fun but he gets mad when I drool on his toys. Brynlee was one of the first people to make me laugh. She funny.

I know I got a lot of presents for Christmas this year, but this paper was sure good.

Here's me and Santa. He's cool, his beard was fun to hang onto.

I was a little freaked out here . . .

My mom dressed me in layers because it was really cold in beautiful Elko. PS, look how huge my hand looks here.

I'm tired of my mom always taking pictures of me.

My dad thinks that I am a Utah fan . . .

Here is when I first met my cousin Emery. I could crush her with my thigh.

Here is my massive foot. It's fuzzy because the camera couldn't focus right on it because it's so huge.

Here is the last picture for you.
I love the open shirt look. Now all I need is a gold chain and a tan and I will be ready for the "Jersey Shore."

Unemployment

2009-12-11T11:56:00.002-07:00

We just received this email from work and it is INSANE!!!! It just makes you realize how great it is to have a job. Check out the link below.

4 Month Check Up

2009-11-02T12:20:00.003-07:00

So Jack had his 4 Month Doctor's appt today. He is in the 80th Percentile of head, weight and height. It was so funny, he kept tooting away while laying on the table. So Jack is on his way to becoming the largest,stinkiest cutest baby lizard ever! See picture below :)

Jack is so much fun. He talks and sings and loves going to daycare. He loves it when other kids are around. I have a feeling he is going to be a very social kid. He has also just found his feet and is starting to roll over all on his own.

Happy Birthday Ashley

2009-10-01T09:50:00.001-06:00

Happy Birthday Ashley, the big 2-7. Hope you have a great birthday and we celebrate many more together.

2 Month Check Up

2009-09-03T15:19:00.004-06:00

Jack had his 2 month check up yesterday. I can't believe it's been over two months already, time flies by so fast. Well, Jack is now 24.5 inches long and weighs 13.7 lbs. So he is in the 80% in height and 75% in weight and head size. So we are on our way to a football player ;) I felt so bad for him when he received his shots, poor kid. He did really well though and just wanted his mom to hold him after (he loves me).
Jack has turned into one happy baby. He loves to see everything around him and be part of the conversation. The only time he cries is when he is hungry or has a poopy diaper, just like his dad. Hee hee. He basically sleeps during the night depending on when he falls asleep.
This is mine and Jack's last full week together with me at home before I go back to work. So sad, I've basically done nothing but play and hang out with him every day so far this week.

What a cute little boy

2009-08-31T15:48:00.003-06:00

Here are a few pictures of our Rowdy Little Rhino.

End of Summer

2009-08-31T15:17:00.008-06:00

So I think we have done more in the month of August compared to the whole summer. Well, I guess we did have a baby in June, I guess that counts as something . . .
I thought I would mention that Josh was asked to throw the first pitch at an Orem Owls game which was pretty awesome. I didn't get an actual picture of him throwing the pitch because it happened so fast.

If you look close you can see Josh there on the field right after he threw the pitch

Jack watching the game

We've gone to REAL Soccer games . . . Then we went to the Zoo with Shea and her family. The pic below is Jack's reaction to everything. What else would you expect from a 2 month old?

Good Times

2009-08-17T22:26:00.007-06:00

So where has August gone to? It's already past half way over, what's up with that. It always seems like after the 24th of July summer is over. I'll be back to work soon too which I'm excited and nervous for because it will be hard to take Jack to Daycare. Seriously, how cute is he?On Sunday, Josh and I were invited to attend a fundraiser/prom for the REAL Soccer Players. Josh's work donated some services to the event so they let us crash their party at La Caille. Josh was definitely star struck over the players. It was really fun to watch the players letting loose on the dance floor. Josh and I waited until the end of the evening to ask for pictures with them because they were a bit looser with a few drinks in them. I even got kissed on the forehead by a tipsy player, a bit weird, but funny story. Plus we sat by the men's restroom so the players had to pass by us. This was not intentional but it worked out perfectly for us.

Josh and Robbie Finlay

Josh with Clint Mathis

Josh with Nat Borchers & his Girlfriend
(They both grew up in Pueblo, CO where Josh went to College, how weird is that?)

There are more pictures but I'll have to post them later . . .

Diaper Changes

2009-07-21T17:58:00.005-06:00

So I just thought I'd post this picture of Josh changing Jack's poopy diapers. So hilarious. I try to get him to change his crap diapers just so I can get a good laugh. Josh is definitely getting better but it is still great to see Josh gag during the whole change. Seriously, he gags thee whole entire time. So he tried to tie a receiving blanket around his mouth to mask the smell but that didn't work out too well.

Kristen

2009-07-19T22:25:00.003-06:00

I decided that I would post this pic of my sister, Kristen, and her roommate that was posted on Facebook. They are up in Logan for the summer and obviously having a good time. I keep looking at Kristen's face and laughing. Good times. I miss college :)
(I apologize Kami & the boy in the pic)

Jack's Pictures

2009-07-07T16:23:00.005-06:00

So I went to the mall and got Jack's pictures taken. He did very well after being man handled by the photographer. Below are some of the pics. Apparently, Kiddie Kandids doesn't have a soccer ball prop so I brought one for Jack to pose with. The Manager said that they will more than likely use the soccer ball pic for the marketing, which is totally awesome. Jack looks exactly like Josh in these pics.
Sidenote -- At Jack's two week appt last week, he weighed 9.10 lbs and has grown to 21 inches. Officially, we can no longer force the newborn diapers on him (I'm tired of getting leaked on).

Two Weeks

2009-06-30T20:01:00.006-06:00

So it has been two weeks today since Jack was born. It's crazy how time flies. Jack is as cute as ever. He looks more and more like Josh everyday (so if there were any questions if Josh was the father, you should have you answer just by looking at the kid). He definitely looks like Josh from the nose down, but it seems like he has my eyes. He's a really good baby so far (I'm crossing my fingers it stays that way). He only cries when he's hungry for the most part. Below are some more pics of Jack.

We need more Jack

2009-06-18T20:28:00.001-06:00

Jack has Arrived

2009-06-18T18:55:00.002-06:00

Our baby Jack came on June 17th at 2:56am; after 18 hours of labor. He weighed 8.12 and is 19.5 inches long. Momma is doing great and Daddy can't be any prouder or happier. He is a little chunk with super chubby cheeks.

Totally Freaking Out, But In A Good Way :)

2009-06-09T20:44:00.004-06:00

So I had my appt with my OB today and we found out that our Doctor is going to be out of town on my due date, the 18th through the weekend. And we want him to deliver Jack because we quite enjoy Dr. Watts. Mostly we like him because he tells funny jokes with us and he looks like Cal Ripken Jr. Anyways, he's really great. So we (Josh and I) decided to be induced next week on Tuesday! Um, ya, that is only 7 days from this moment. We, mostly me, are totally freaking out because Jack's due date has always been so far away, but as of tomorrow, it will be less than a week.
Am I ready? Are we ready? Of course we're not, but we'll be just fine.

Baby Shower Extravaganza Day

2009-05-31T22:22:00.011-06:00

On Saturday, I had 2 Baby Showers, which meant for a LONG day for me. Below are some pics from both Showers. Thanks to my family for being so patient with my emotions (you know what I'm talking about). And thanks to my friends for everything on Saturday as well. It was a very fun day for me :) Also, just disregard the chubby girl in most of the pictures. People tell me that I need to take more pictures of me so I can look back on them after the pregnancy so I'm being brave and posting more of me.

Brynlee hardly left my side while I opened presents. You will see in other pictures.Here are the Warner Girls.

Yep, that's Brynlee next to me again.
The Ladies who threw my Friend Shower. Thanks Cassie, McCall & Erin!
Brenda & Mandy from work. I don't really know what my Mom is staring at here.My sister, Kristen & Brianne & Lindsey :)

Here I am, and there is Brynlee again.

I do too Blog

2009-04-27T19:18:00.008-06:00

I do too blog . . . when I feel motivated to do it, which is rare. Josh and I have been pretty busy lately. We went to our Birth Prep Class on Wednesday and Saturday. As you can see, Josh really liked wearing the pregnant belly. I'm not really surprised. But he did keep complaining about how it sat right on his bladder. "Poor Guy."
After our class on Saturday, we just had this realization that Jack will be here so soon. Less than 2 months. Crazy. Kind of freaks us out a bit, but we're excited and ready. I don't know anyone who's excited more than Josh. Oh! Something so funny during our Birth class. For some reason, Josh kept rubbing and tickling my back through the whole class which is very strange because usually I have to make a bargain/beg him. But I wasn't going to say anything in case he realized his mistake and stopped. After, as we were driving home, he brought up the fact that he noticed all of the other husbands/partners were rubbing the womens' back SO that made him feel like he had to too. Hey, I'll take a guilt back rub any day.
Then we went to the REAL game that night where they won 6 to 0. That is the highest scoring soccer game I've ever been to, which really isn't saying much because I honestly haven't been to a ton. But it was fun. And the Nachos were delicious :)
And as promised, here are some pics of our completed kitchen. (minus backsplash and molding)

We have lots of magnets!!!

Its getting close

2009-04-27T16:16:00.002-06:00

So Ashley never blogs anymore, so I thought I would throw something on. Saturday we went to our "labor ready class." I have never been so excited for this little baby, I can't wait. We got to see the nursery, wow, what a awesome site. Anywho, glad Paul Kreuger and Shaun Smith got drafted in the second round, with Bryce McCain going a bit later, Awesome.

Catch Up

2009-04-11T23:00:00.013-06:00

So I am thinking it's time for me to post something, what do you think? I am terrible at this whole blogging thing. Why did I start it again? Well, Josh and I have been sort of busy lately. Well, mostly Josh. I'm still going to school and Josh is still dealing with my pregnant mood swings. Poor guy. I get tired, I take it out on him. I get hungry, I take it out on him. I can't sleep, I shove him because he's breathing on me. And every time I apologize to him after I feel better (sometimes).
Well, Josh and I have been talking about remodeling our kitchen since we got married. We were planning on getting it done before baby Jack is here but we had to do it in March before Josh started getting really busy at work. The first week goes by in March, we don't do anything. Second week of March goes by, we don't do anything. Here comes the third week, and Josh decides that we don't need to wait any longer and he starts hammering holes in the walls with the theory in mind that if our kitchen is a mess, it will force us (mostly him) to get it done and stop being scared to do it. First thing on the list, knock down some walls. Our kitchen was basically a cave with original everything from 1986.

Josh and his friend Brian about to knock out this wall

Then Josh tore down another wall and built in a pantry. He could be on "This Old House." He's amazing.
So instead of giving a step by step of everything we (Josh) did, I'll just post some pics and describe if needed. PS, why is it so difficult to post pictures on Blogger?

Some Before Pics

Before Pics

The fridge was moved to the middle of the kitchen, it used to be to the right where the wall was before Josh knocked it down

This is Josh gettin' ready to install our flooring.

Here is the almost finished product.

The kitchen is basically done now. Josh just painted the cabinets white and we got a cool new sink. I keep forgetting to take pictures of it to post. All that needs to be done now are the little things that aren't vital for a kitchen to be functional. Seriously, it was horrible having no kitchen for awhile. But Josh got it done in less than a month due to working until 2 am and getting up at 6 am so he could get it done. He's one of those people that actually finishes things that he starts. Weird. Plus, it seems when your house is a complete disaster, so are other things in your life, doesn't it? With help from Brian, Josh's coworker, Matt, Josh's brother and Scotty, Josh's BFFer, this was all possible. And thanks to me, always looking over Josh's shoulder bothering him.

San Diego Fun

2009-02-15T21:50:00.006-07:00

So Josh and I went to San Diego a couple of weekends ago to celebrate two things. One being our one year anniversary. The other being our last Hurrah of being a childless couple. We wanted to go on vacation without having to pack a child one last time. It rained on us just about the whole time while we were there. That meant that my hair was pretty much unmanagable, so I had to have top ramen hair :) We decided that it would be an awesome experience to go Whale Watching. I get motion sick very easily but I had taken a Dramamin that morning to be prepared. I had taken this picture of the Seasickness Bags on the boat thinking it was pretty funny.It was a nice ride while we were in the harbor and Josh and me were taking a few pictures and having a good ol' time. But then we hit the open water and I was a goner. For about two thirds of the 3 1/2 hour boat trip I was horribly sick. Some volunteer whale watchers were even trying to get me to look at the whales but I ignored them. I didn't realize that having another human being rolling around in my stomach combined with my motion sickness was a lethal combination. Horrible. Josh then got sick as well and we were quite a pair for the boat employees. It's hilarious now but at one point during the ride I started crying because I was angry the captian wouldn't turn the boat around because I was puking my intestines out. We both just got to the point of trying to survive.

Anyway, we were able to redeem the trip by going to the zoo while it poured. The rain wasn't so bad because the crowds were small and the animals were out. The San Diego Zoo is pretty cool. I was trying to get a pic of the animal behind Josh. I can't quite tell if it worked :)This is the only picture of me during the trip. Good Times.

It was a great trip, we stayed at an awesome resort and ate some good food. I love San Diego.
I really appreciate my husband. I've become some crazy emotional lady since I've become pregnant and Josh has been so great. I can't believe that he still wants to hang around me after being married for a year. Love you Josh!

It's a Boy!!

2009-01-19T16:20:00.003-07:00

So, I have to admit, I was pretty positive that Josh and I were going to have a girl so I was pretty shocked when I saw that little extremity :) Josh had his hands in the air with excitement when we saw it. What was the coolest experience for me though was to watch the ultrasound. To be able to see his little face and his little bum and hands and feet. So crazy. The office gave us a DVD of it so we've been playing it to our families. Josh usually sits right up in front of the TV to point out every little thing, he is so excited. I'm so excited too I promise. As the day has gone by, I am thinking about the baby's room and all of the clothes and toys and the things we'll teach him.
I made the Doctor double check to make sure that it was a boy, and she said, "See that, well it's not a third leg." So hilarious. Josh thinks that that meant that he's well endowed :) Once we scan the ultrasounds I'll post them. But I just wanted to announce it to those that see our blog.
PS, I just want to say also congrats to my old roommate, McCall and her husband, Bones, their little boy, Aiden John, was born on Sunday.

I'm Back!!!

2008-12-19T13:58:00.003-07:00

So I thought I would post a little something since I just noticed that I haven't posted anything for 2 months. For those of you who have been hasseling me about not posting anything, you're welcome.
After our Chicago Trip, we went to Hawaii with the Jorgensen Fam. PS, we are not rich, it just worked out that these two trips were right next to one another. So Hawaii was way fun, especially when I was the only one who hadn't been there before so everyone took me to the places that were the super coolest. And it was my birthday during the trip, so that was a sweet present by itself. I am not going to post pics because I'm at a place where I don't have access to them. So maybe in two more months I'll post those pics. And I would like to live in Hawaii.

After Chicago and Hawaii, and inbetween lazy days, busy days and family days. Josh and I were looking forward to Thanksgiving and it was fun as usual. First we went over to my aunt's house to eat. I don't know how it works out this way everytime, but the cousins that don't have kids always seem to end up watching all of the little kids. Why is that? But regardless, it's still fun because I wish I was a little kid at times.
Then Josh and I went over to his Grandma's house. Aunt Sue from St. Louis was in town and it was good to see her. Josh and I sat and talked with her, Donna(Josh's Mom) and Grandma Wesley for hours that night. I have to admit, I am a bit intimidated by Aunt Sue but she is a very neat person and being able to see her in a different light in Chicago was very cool.

King Christmas came next which is always fun. Grandma King made awesome scrapbooks for each girl there at the party that depicted us growing up. Love it and hate it because I have had some major growing pains and I think I'm still going through the akward stage by the looks of some of the pictures. :)

So I know this post is boring because there are no pictures. I have to admit I'm not a fan of long posts without pictures because I read most of the blogs during work when I shouldn't be, so I need pictures to remind me where I left off between people coming in.
Oh, by the way, we're pregnant and due June 18th!

Chicago Fun

2008-09-23T22:07:00.006-06:00

So here are some pics from our Chicago trip. It was super fun. It rained basically the whole time, but it was still fun, at least it wasn't really hot. The reason we went was for Josh's cousin's, Laura's, wedding. It was AMAZING. It was at the Drake Hotel and everyone stayed at the Knickerbocker across the street. All of the cousins went out on the town on Friday night and we all went to a Chicago Blues Club which was so cool. Of course we had to sample some famous Chicago Style Pizza . . . twice. So good, I'm totally hooked and wishing we had some authentic Chicago Style Pizza right now. So much fun and we can't wait to go again.

Here's Josh and I standing in Downtown Chicago.

We went a couple of days early with Matt & Rachel so we could sight see. This is us hitting up an Irish Pub across the street from our Hotel.Here's the famous "Bean."
Rachel and I wanted to make sure we took pictures of everything. I think Josh and Matt were getting a bit tired of it. :)
Here's the Jorgensen Family :)

Here is a selfer of us before the ceremony. (Notice the Bunny Ears) Josh and I like this pic the best of us, even with the extra ears.

Funny Women

2008-08-02T23:33:00.002-06:00

So Josh needed some help to shoot some confetti canons at the Stampin' Up! Conference Saturday afternoon. So Josh, Marc, Matt, Rachel, me and Kristen all drove up to Salt Lake to the Salt Palace to work for a couple of hours to stand and wait to shoot these huge confetti canons. So while standing there, we're watching the end of the 3-day conference. Can I just say that the Stampin' Up Ladies that were packed into this huge Conference Room were so crazy. Stampin Up! really knows how to entertain, let me tell ya. They would give away prizes about every 15 minutes and these women would FREAK out and jump up and down and scream and run around with thier hands in the air. So hilarious. I felt like I was watching a clip from Oprah when she does her Favorite Things Episode. It was really fun. I just wanted to share. PS, this picture is from the Oprah Show, not from Stampin' Up!

Gephart Video

2008-08-02T23:27:00.004-06:00

I keep forgetting to post this video on our blog. On the 24th, the "Get Gephardt" guy was at the SL Bee's interviewing the Josh and the Pyro crew there asking questions about what goes into putting on a Fireworks Show. Below is the sight of the video for it. It's pretty funny. The video is on the right side of the page and down a bit on the page. Check it out!

Holy Crap

2008-07-22T09:14:00.002-06:00

So on Sunday Josh and I put up for sale our old Refrigerator and Josh's boat on KSL.com. And both sold within the day! And I'm still getting calls even though I've marked them as sold. Isn't that crazy. Josh and I are now thinking about selling our first born, we'll let you know how that pans out ;)

Refrigerator For Sale

2008-07-20T13:54:00.004-06:00

Hey Everyone! Josh and I are selling our old refrigerator fro $90! It's a white GE Fridge and it is in good condition and still works great. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested. Below are some pictures.

Lagoon Fun

2008-07-20T11:09:00.002-06:00

Josh and I went to Lagoon last week, it was way fun. Going to Lagoon made me realize that I have become the biggest baby when it comes to roller coasters. I am so scared of going on them because I get motion sickness so easily. I'm even getting motion sickness sitting in the front seat of a car. It is getting ridiculous. Anyways, Josh and I wanted to get an Old Western Picture done. So since we don't have a scanner, I just took a picture of it so sorry about the picture quality. It was so hard for me to be serious with everyone watching. It was fun.

4th of July

2008-07-20T11:05:00.003-06:00

So here are some pics from the 4th of July. We all went to the West Jordan Fireworks on the 4th because that was where Josh was going to be and it was one of the biggest shows on the 4th in the valley. This was thee first show that Josh was able to sit with me and actually watch one of his shows. It was fun. My little sister, Kristen, was with me too. Below are some pics.

Bathroom Fun

2008-07-20T10:56:00.006-06:00

So here are pics of our bathroom. It's actually been done for quite awhile now, I just kept forgetting to post about it. The only thing that is still missing is me installing the hand towel holder, which I have to admit I keep putting off because it took so long for me to install the towel rack. And we also still have to put the doors on the vanity. Josh and his BFF, Scotty, did a really good job on the tiling, it looks really good.

Never See

2008-07-11T23:24:00.003-06:00

So Josh and I just got done watching the movie, "The Ruins." Don't ever watch it. It even made me queezy. This group of kids go on vacation to Mexico, they meet this stranger from Mexico and he tells them about this archeological dig his brother is on with his girlfriend. Hello!, Stranger Danger!!!! So they get to this temple ruin and as soon as they get there, a guy is shot and killed by the locals because he touched the vines growing on the temple ruin. And then the locals force the rest of the 5 kids to the top of the temple and just wait around it to make sure they don't get off. So if you're hurt on the temple, the vines attacked and consume your body and can make noises to mimic the noises that are made to trick you. So really, it's an uplifting movie that the whole family should enjoy.

FRUSTRATION!

2008-06-30T20:26:00.003-06:00

I'm taking a break right now. It took me 45 minutes to hang up this stupid towel rack. I'm just lucky that I only had to drill the holes once and I didn't have to start all over. Now I just have a hand towel rack and the toilet paper rack and I'm set. So I'll be done in about 2 hours.

Summer Day

2008-06-29T11:06:00.010-06:00

On Saturday, Josh and me started our day off by trying to catch Maikaila, our dog, in the act of getting out of the backyard and wandering the streets of WJ. She's been eating her way through our chain link fence and making a little space where she can shimmy through! What a crazy dog. So Josh and I would act like we were leaving and drive away so she would see that we were gone and then we would come back and hide and wait to catch her. It took a good 45 minutes and catching her three times and Maikaila still doesn't care. She just wants to go with her Master Josh. After that we went to IKEA to get some stuff for our bathroom, that's always a good time.

Then we went to East Haven Rodeo. Josh was doing a show there so a bunch of us went to the Rodeo. There was Matt, Rachel, Scott (Rachel's Brother) and his wife, Nosomi (sorry if I mispelled her name!) and Nick and his wife, Mandy (Nick works with Josh and Matt). A little girl gave Rachel a frisbee so we played around with that for awhile. Here are some pictures of Matt and Scott "freestylin" in East Haven, not to be confused with "West Haven."

Josh has had KJZZ's filming crew following him around for the past couple of days and a camera man was there last night to film the fireworks. They told Josh that they were going to put it in all of Larry H. Miller's Movie Complexes and play it before the movies start. So that's exciting! Here are a few fireworks pics that I took last night.

Bathroom Fun

2008-06-24T20:39:00.004-06:00

So we are remodeling our bathroom, good times. Here are a bunch of pics of before and of Josh tearing out the flooring. I'm not going to post any pics of it yet until we're done.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!

2008-06-01T15:08:00.004-06:00

Happy Birthday to Josh!

He turned 27 on June 1st.

Camping

2008-05-26T21:52:00.006-06:00

So this Memorial Weekend, Josh and I went camping with my Dad on Boulder Mountain in Central Utah. So on Saturday, we had to wake up and be on the road by 4am because Josh had to be down in Leeds, Utah by 9am to teach a Pyro Class to their Fire Department. Then we made a trip to Brianhead to drop off a load of fireworks to their Fire Department. Then, we were on our way to meet up with my dad on Boulder Mountain. Josh had to rely on my not so good direction giving to try to find where my dad was, but we found him driving around on the 4 wheeler around 6pm. So we had an awesome time. Josh was really excited that my dad let him hold onto his gun during our all day 4-wheeling drive on Sunday. We drove all around on Sunday, and poor Makaila, Josh's funny dog, was not having a fun time. This was Makaila's first camping trip, and we learned that she is a City Gal. She's all tough here at the house, but take her to the "Great Outdoors" and she is so scared. I slowly became her protector because I was the only one not shooting a gun. We took her along on our ride and Josh had to hold her for most of the time(I wish I would've taken a picture!) because she wouldn't be able to keep up with us, but by the end of the day she would hide from Josh because she was so tired of riding on the 4-wheeler. Thanks to the Josh's Boss, Ken, for letting us use his truck and 4-wheeler, and thanks to my Dad for letting us hang out with him over the weekend.

Here is a selfer of me and my crooked sunglasses. And the other is my Dad and Josh (posing) fixing the 4-wheeler.

Good Times

2008-05-18T21:47:00.004-06:00

For those of you that don't know, Josh works for Lantis Fireworks and Lasers. His job has had a lot of perks and we've experienced a lot of things together, when he's let me tag along. My favorite things to go with Josh to are the High School Events, ie Homecoming, Dances. Josh has worked with Kearns HS for a couple of years now and he loves them. They're always to gratful for what he does for them and their Advisor, Bob, likes working with Josh. I think he gets along with the High Schoolers so well because he's a kid at heart. He loved high school so much at Jordan that I think he just wants to make sure they have a good experience too. Anyway, they invited us to be a guest to their Senior Dinner Dance at the Gathering Place at Gardner Village. Which happens to be the place where Josh and I were married last January. So it was fun to go and reminise about our wedding day and back to our High School days. We didn't stay for the dance portion but we did walk around and see where Josh proposed and stuff. Then classic Josh and Ashley, we went back to our house and decided to veg out and watch a movie from On Demand. We're so crazy. Go Riverton Silverwolves! And I just so Josh is represented . . . Go Jordan Beetdiggers!

Love this Duffy Gal

2008-05-15T17:25:00.004-06:00

I just wanted to share how much I LOVE this new artist. Her name is Duffy. At first when I heard her name, I thought it was Hilary Duff trying a new name like Puffy Sean Diddy Combs, or whatever his name is. But she is from the UK (I think). But I love her music. It's like Amy Whinehouse, but w/o the swear words, and a bit of the 50s/60s music influence. I don't think I've listened to anything else when I'm at home or in my car. My computer skills basically are non existent when trying to post a video. So you can just go to her MySpace page if you would like to check her out. It is: http://www.myspace.com/duffymyspace.

Beckham

2008-05-07T21:39:00.004-06:00

I just wanted to blog a bit about how Real SL played against the LA Galaxy, the team that David Beckham is on. I will admit, I was excited to see David Beckham. One, cuz he is good looking and two, because he was probably better looking in person. No really though, it was a good game and it was very cool to see Beckham take his signature shot. A Penalty Kick where the movie title, "Bend It Like Beckham," comes into mind. You almost couldn't be mad seeing him make the two goals that tied the game, because it was David Beckham making those goals. Quick story, the second half of the game, Beckham was running back and forth right in front of our seats, there was a pause in the game so he was in front of us for a good 5 minutes. I swear he was posing for us, so I bent down to get my camera out of my purse and then the crowd started to scream (mostly girls). I looked up and missed whatever they were getting hot and bothered over. I guess he had reached up his shorts to fix his jock strap and showed his cheek, and I totally missed it. I took a lot of pictures trying to get a good one for the blog, but my camera isn't the greatest, this is the best I can do. Also, the other is my hot husband cheering after one of the goals made by Real.

Last Girls' Night Out

2008-05-07T21:24:00.005-06:00

So last Friday, McCall and I drove up to Logan to have one last hang out night with Cassie before the Campbell's big move to Las Vegas, sniff sniff. With Cassie leaving, it just makes me wish I would've done more things with her! But I'm excited for her big move. So this is just a picture of us documenting our good times that night. Eating at the Bluebird, driving around Logan reminising (sp) about when we were roommates Freshman Year. It was fun. Then we watched a classic Chick Flick, "27 Dresses." Which I've been wanting to see! PS, I really am not very good at taking self portraits. This is a formal apology to McCall for cutting half her head out of the picture! It kinda looks like me and a couple of floating heads in the background if you look at it right. Hee hee. Now I'm rambling. Anyway, Viva Las Vegas!

Award Winning Picture

2008-04-30T19:09:00.003-06:00

This Picture was taken by my sister, Kristen. She submitted this and another one to the Riverton High School Arts Competition (I think that's what it is called). And this one got First Place in Colored Photo. Congrats Kristen!

Josh Photo by Kristen Warner

2008-04-22T21:44:00.004-06:00

So this picture was created and by my little sista, Kristen. She is very talented with the camera. I think Kristen thought that Josh wouldn't like what she did to his face, but Josh loves it. I need to print this out for him. Kristen has submitted a few of her pictures to contests here and there and has gotten a fair amount of recognition. I just wanted to hand out a compliment to Kristen. Check out her Flcker page if you want.

2008-04-15T22:59:00.002-06:00

So, Cassie informed me that I am slacking on my blogging responsibilities, so I decided to take a little quiz from web.tickle.com and post my findings. It is this weird site that has nothing but random quizzes and surveys for you to take. So I took one on what kind of cake I should bake. So with some help from Betty Crocker, they decided that I wanted to bake a Red Velvet Cake. Now, being 11 o'clock at night, I don't really feel like baking a cake right now. But now looking at the picture of it while I'm typing this up, I know it's all that I'll be dreaming about. Maybe I'll make it when I get motivated and when I need a little excitement in my life, as it states below. Who knew that Red Velvet Cake was so daring.

Ashley, you should make a Red Velvet Cake
Decadent, tasty, and just a bit sinful (and we aren't just talking about the cake!), you should definitely get fork-deep in a delicious red velvet cake. Who doesn't love that idea? It's true that many people haven't tried it, but who better than you to introduce them to this truly tasty dessert? Though it's an especially popular dessert in the South, everyone is a potential fan, right?We know you don't always take the biggest risks, but this is your chance to try something new. So leave those boring vanilla cakes and safe bets to the people who aren't looking for a little excitement in their lives, and turn on the color tonight! We guarantee you'll fall in love.

"Old Couple"

2008-04-01T19:09:00.003-06:00

So on Monday we went to the Jazz/Wizards game. My mom got tickets for the married children (sorry Kristen!). So we all met up at the SkyBox. When Josh and I walked it we told the Host that we're meeting up with my family and some were probably already there. First thing out of his mouth was, "Is it an older couple?" And we said, "Ya, really old." Just kidding, but the Host really did ask that and pointed us right to where my Mom and Dad were sitting. Hilarious. I think it's my Dad's white hair and my Mom's cane that she uses. Well, she doesn't really use a cane, but she gets Charlie Horses really bad and probably needs one at times. Anyway, good stuff. Also, today is April Fool's Day and I didn't know what I was going to do to Josh. But at work during lunch I called him telling him that my debit card was stolen and someone had used it at Gateway last night and had already spent like $600. I got him pretty good until my sister-in-law told them that it was probably April Fools. I could've had it going for longer too but I didn't know how I could keep it going without laughing. Love you Josh!

REAL Game

2008-03-30T11:29:00.003-06:00

So on Saturday we went to the Season Opener for the Salt Lake REAL Soccer Team. Josh's Boss is very nice in letting us use his season tickets. I've never been into soccer but being around Josh and his family, you can't help but get into the game and the players. Saturday we played against the Chicago Fire where they have the "Beckham of Mexico," called Blanco. The stadium was packed with Chicago supporters all because of Blanco. Seemed like everyone from the Hispanic community came out just to see him play. Everytime he passed the ball the crowd would scream for him. So, of course he made the goal that tied the game and everyone went crazy. It was fun though. I've found a new love for Kyle Beckerman, I love him and his dreads. He plays for REAL and I think the only reason why I like him is because we saw him at Gateway last year. :) Earlier on Saturday, Josh and is bro Matt went and got the refrigorator from my parents house that my parents were so nice to let us have. As Josh colorfully puts it, "The fridge weighed an ass load." It took them a good half hour just getting it up the stairs. I watched from above the stairs trying to keep my mouth shut and not be a pest. Finally we got it up the stairs. Josh says now the fridge will have rot in this house, never to be moved again. Basically, it's going to be sold with the house.

Makaila's Birthday

2008-03-28T16:23:00.007-06:00

Makaila's birthday is coming up on May 14th. If you would like to give a gift, she loves cash donations or checks made out to Josh Jorgensen (she doesn't have a bank account, so I will cash it for her). Happy birthday Makaila!

We are having babies!

2008-03-27T12:33:00.003-06:00

Here at work we are having lots of little animal babies. Here are two of the many. The puppy's name is Kona and he has a twin sister Hilo. Here is a picture of me holding our baby Emu. Matt named it wormy. It will probably grow up to be a jerk like its parents. Anyways, if you took a double take at the head line, well, I wanted to keep you guessing.

In response to the "Fright Night Comment from Cassie"

2008-03-26T15:06:00.002-06:00

If Ashley brought her spirits with, I'm moving out. Now you mention it, I do get a little spooked when I go downstairs by myself. Makaila is always sent first. Maybe I'm just used to being scared by Ashley when I come around a corner.

Easter Fright Night

2008-03-24T19:29:00.002-06:00

So, Sunday night, Josh and I are both ready for bed and Josh was chatting it up with his BFF, Scotty. When we heard a noise in the house like something was moving in the house. Makaila even heard it and started running in the house barking. So Josh hung up on Scotty and we both just sat there listening. So Josh grabbed this baseball bat, he put behind our door as a joke when I first moved in, and went searching through the house with Makaila and bat in hand. He came back to the room w/o finding anything. So us trying to go to bed early was basically shot since we both laid in bed just listening to every little noise. Very sleepless night. Next morning Josh was getting ready and he found what made "the noise." It was his Carhart's that had fallen off a hanger and rubbed against the closet door! I love that we freaked ourselves out so bad over that!

Easter Fun

2008-03-23T21:04:00.005-06:00

So here we are, almost done with March and I think Josh and me have done more in the past two days compared with the whole month! On Saturday we went down to Grandma King's house to have some Easter fun. Josh and I could hardly eat anything because we're doing the first two weeks of the South Beach Diet right now which means no carbs or sugars. Talk about tough with all the candy around! But it was fun to see everyone and the kids hunting for Easter eggs. Part of me wanted to join them for sure. Sunday we went to church and hung out at the Jorgensen's (Lamar & Donna's). Lamar made the best impromptu breakfast and we all enjoyed it outside! It was such a nice day. The pic is of some of us at Grandma Wesley's house eating more food of course. I have to admit, I did break down and have a piece of carrot cake, but it was so worth it. Now that I have that sugar in my system, all I want is sugar now! So ridiculii (new word made by me). Anyway, Happy Easter Everyone!

Reply to Playlist Comments by my Husband

2008-03-18T23:03:00.003-06:00

Don't let Josh's remarks about the playlist fool you. These are his favorite songs that he listens to the majority of the time. Especially Hanna Montana. He loves to watch her show every Saturday morning and if he can catch it on the Disney Channel. Also, closet Wham! lover. ;)

Wham! Too????

2008-03-18T16:23:00.001-06:00

Why Wham! ?

Quick Survey

2008-03-18T16:18:00.002-06:00

Does your spouse/significant other pour cold water on you in the shower?

Do they scare you when you have a steaming hot drink in your hand and it spills covering your hand?

When you come up the stairs, do you send your dog first to seek out the person around the corner?

Do you have a automatic flench reflex covering your crouch when your just sitting on the couch?

Just asking questions, not a big deal, just wondering whats normal and whats not...

Thanks, Josh

Why do we have Hanna Montana.....

2008-03-18T16:16:00.000-06:00

Just wondering why we have Hanna Montana on our "playlist."
Thanks for answering when I get home tonight......

Newly Weds

2008-03-05T22:35:00.001-07:00

Hi Everyone~

This is the first entry for us on our new Blog. So we thought we'd hop on the bandwagon and make one and try it out and see we if we keep it up :) I'm going to write a para and then Josh will be next. Happy reading!

This first month of marriage has been very fun. One thing that not a lot of people may know is that Josh is a clean freak. I knew this but I didn't realize how irritating it could be ;) (Love you Babe!) In the first week I caught him cleaning up after me, basically following me around the house. Lately Josh and I have been decorating the house and it seems like we're done. Who knew that Josh had some Queer Eye in him. Everyday he moves around our little knick knacks to try to get them to all "work" together. I've got it pretty good so far. I have a husband that cleans after me and cooks for me and makes me my lunch for work. Ah, what a hard life I lead . .

What long month it has been, who knew that Ash was so messy. She will not allow me to read what she just wrote, so I am just telling the truth. Last night we went to see Angels and Airwaves, best concert ever. i may be prejudice, but eat it if you think otherwise. Ashley was a little wary, but after the 3 hours in line waiting for the doors to open and the gross people making out behind us, she is now hooked on my style of music and she won't "accidently" change what is playing on my ipod. But i did have another one of those "my wife is the coolest"moments, Ashley stuck out 6 hours on her feet and a smokey club so that I could see my favorite band. I do enjoy making dinner and making her lunch, I guess she really deserves it after dealing with me............
