1 year

so today spencer and i celebrate our 1 year anniversary! crazy i know, and i bet some people had bets on if we would last! lol but we made it! HA! anyway, life couldn't be any better!
we didn't really get to celebrate it. this weekend we went to longview.....my grandpa became the patriarch of the longview stake!!! amazing huh! it was so much fun to be with family and so amazing to be there when he was ordained! i am so happy for my grandparents and the adventure they have ahead of them! ady got to meet her great grandparents and she loves them! she loved to be rocked to sleep by great g-ma. we got to take the 4 generations picture too!
well today was spent heading home. we had to take the long way and due to the fact that we're traveling with a baby and then the weather.......yeah we're still not home. we took a pit stop at laskas and tomorrow we plan to do a little shopping and such, so kinda celebrate the anniversary tomorrow...but anyway....
all i have to say is that this past year has been FULL of excitement. we got married and had a baby! adyson is so so so cute. today she laughed at me! shes learning to smile really well! she holds her head up really well too! shes getting so big before our eyes! shes so beautiful and we are so amazed with her everyday!

well, i figured its been a little bit since the last blog, so heres what i got

Adysons growing up fast! on monday she will be 4 weeks old! its hard to believe shes been out of me that long! Tomorrow shes getting blessed! we are super excited! i think spencer might be a little nervous too! My mom made her a very cute blessing dress and we're excited to see her in it! um.....lets see what else......her sleeping habits are...ok...if we try to keep her up during the day she does really well and lets mommy sleep! she wakes up about 2 times...but if she sleeps most of the day.......lets just say its not good at night! but all in all.....adyson is so beautiful and i love being with her! she loves her daddy and when she hears his voice she looks for him everywhere! well here are some picture of our little angel!

black friday boredom blog

so.... since today is black friday, and spencers at work and adys sleeping, i decided to do this little questionaire.... oh and i hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving!


Four, Four, Four, Four...
1) Four places I go to over and over: Walmart, my room, the kitchen, the living room (i don't get out much! lol)
2) Four people who e-mail me (regularly): um...my mom, elder byington,.....thats about it.
3)Four of my favorite places to eat: sushimori!!!!!griffins bakery, the firefly cafe and danas or da pineapple gril.....haven't been in a LONG time!
4) Four places I would rather be: home, london, hawaii, sleeping
5) Four TV shows I watch: CSI:NY, Law and Order CI or SVU, Bones, Amazing Race

oh and i just wanted to say that i went and saw twilight, and well.....i really liked it! i haven't read the books, it just didn't interest me AT ALL and i still prob wont read them....but on wed my sis wanted to do a girls night out, so we went, i wasn't too excited and i didn't want to go, but i went to be nice, and i was very impressed! i love romantic drama movies and this was great! i will so have spencer buy it for me when it comes out, and i will be going to see the next movies that come out, as long as they have the same people in it! it has become one of my favorite movies!

love and pain

well i decided to name this post love and pain....let me explain.......

first i'll start off with pain.....so......birthing hurts so bad and esp since i had one heck of a time and i'm STILL recovering. its frustraiting! i can't ever feel better and i'm always, ALWAYS in pain, even when i'm just sitting here typing this! BUT the pain is so not as bad as the first night. its so getting better, but i just wish it was totally gone. its hard to eat too....don't get me wrong i LOVE food, but i'm on like 5 drugs and i think one of them is making me feel sick sometimes when i eat, but i just go and take a nap and it goes away...maybe its not the drugs and its just lack of sleep. speaking of sleep, i don't really get any at the moment becaue i have to feed the little one all the time, and thats making me bleed and fall apart....... but thats getting better, i won't go into detail, but oh my heck what i'm doing now is way better!

now after i have ranted and raved about the pain part, i'll talk about the love.......i'm afraid i've fallen inlove with another person.....my daughter! its so amazing to be a mom....very hard at times, but i love her so much. i love her even when i have to change her way stinky and way poopy diapers....she even shot poop all over me and i still love her! LOL when she looks at me with her big bright eyes, i just melt. shes so cute and she makes the cutest faces. right now she really doesn't look like me.....kinda, but theres one thing that she took after me.....so i was finishing burping her and she let out the biggest burp i have ever heard...and anyone that knows me knows that i can burp and burp loud! but she outdid me! i'm so proud! LOL j/k...... her cry is even cute (the start of the cry, deff not the hard core cry). shes my little angel. i still can't believe that i'm her mom and shes sealed to me and is going to be with spencer and i forever.

another love of mine is spencer. he has been the biggest support! i can tell he loves adyson so much and hes such a good father to her. when we were in the hospital he was such an amazing husband too. even when i was killing his hand through the contractions! oh man, and my hormones are going crazy and hes been there every step of the way. i think i've cried out of frustration about a million times and spencer has always comforted me and told me that i can do it and i'm strong. its a big help, even though it makes me cry even harder. i don't think i've ever cried this much in my entire life! i sometimes want to give up, but spencer always reminds me that hes here and theres another person here helping me too, and He would never give me something i can't handle. this whole experience has been a roller coaster so far, and i've fallen all over again for spencer. i love him even more then i did when i was the little 14 year old crushing on him and thinking that i'm going to marry him someday! and i love him even more then when we first started dating! i can't even say how much i love him and our little girl! life is amazing!

well thats about all for now! my heart is so full and i have so much to be thankful for!
