Happy 28th Birthday Jason!!

Today we celebrate Jasons 28th Birthday! We have had a really low key day(and that is exactly what he wanted), I kept asking him what he wanted to do and his response was simply......some Ben and Jerry's Ice cream, a day in with US and lunch at Wendy's, and for those of you that know Jason this should come as no surprise. He has got to be the easiest person to please....time with family, some ice cream and lunch at his favorite place. Happy Birthday Jason....We love you and are so grateful for all you do for us!
Happy Birthday Jason!

7 Months

Brielle is now 7 months, and we marked it by having our first taste of sickness with her. Last week she started to get a little cough, which then turned worse, by Saturday she was miserable, I took her into her pediatrician and at that point she had a minor viral infection and a ear infection in her right ear, so we were sent home with antibiotics and high hopes this was the worse of it. That wasn't the case, Sunday night things took a turn for the worse, at one point she had a fever of about 103! Now its Monday and we have returned home from another trip to the Doctor and now Brielle has Bronchiolitis! Poor baby, she is just miserable, and I hate that the fact there is nothing I can do but cuddle and rock her! So lets hope this is the worse of it and from here on out things will finally get better for her. But on a better note I thought I would share some highlights of this month with Brielle, she is consistently saying ma ma, da da and ba ba, and I think I have even hear Mom, but then again that just may be me hoping she is saying that, she has started clapping her hands, and while on her belly she is attempting to get on all fours but quite hasn't mastered it yet, she is officially eating all baby foods, although to get her to eat her veggies I have to mix it with her cereal, but she eats her fruits like a pro. We just love this little girl and can't wait for this sickness to leave us and have our sweet baby girl back!
This picture just breaks my heart....she is in so much pain and just miserable and the fact that I can't do anything about it makes it worse!

I {Heart}


Being that today is the day of LOVE, I thought I would share some things that I love oh so much!


My sweet baby girl and her adorable personality! She amazes me everyday and I just love her to pieces!





MY BOYS! Enough said......I love these two and Daniel seriously can change a tense and stressful day into putting me on the ground laughing kind of day! Jason, he just gets me, through all my stubbornness and all those days where I'm a little less than pleasant he just knows how to turn it around for me and make me feel special!

FAMILY! I feel so lucky to have such a great family, I think i'm a pretty lucky girl, I have amazing parents and amazing in-laws! Both my parents and Jasons parents are so supportive and willing to go the extra mile for our little family, and I don't think I could ever thank them enough for everything they have done for us!



My Diet Coke.....I know its a terrible habit, but I love it and can't go a day with out it! And I think for my sanity and the sanity of others around me, we should probably keep it that way, because I have to tell you I'm not a very pleasant girl with out it!





My cell phone.....how did we ever live with out these!

I LOVE my DVR! Very rarely do I ever get to watch T.V. or at least any shows that I want to watch....so its so nice to be able to just record them and then once Jason gets home from work and the kids are in bed we can just lounge on the couch together and catch up on our shows!



Seriously, I'm obsessed, I don't know what it is about it but this show completely draws me in!



After looking for what seemed to be forever for a heart rate monitor that suited me,I finally found one! I found one on the Internet a while back but it was like $300 and was aimed more towards runners (And I am definatley not a runner) and it was mainly for those who want to keep track of there distance/pace and so forth, but all I wanted was something I could take to the gym and keep me on track, and help me know how hard I'm working, and what am I really burning off! And then I found this! I can not live without it!

I love a good workout....especially the classes, I do okay out on the floor by myself, but I seem to get distracted easily and find myself slacking, but in classes I kick major butt! My new obsession as of late is Boot Camp, all I can say is Holy Crap! It really kicks your butt into gear and by the end of the class I'm just dripping in sweat ( I know, great image). When it comes to classes I become majorly obsessed, especially once I find one I love! Since moving and now going to the American Fork Gym I have had a really had a hard time finding a class that gets me excited to go to the gym, then I found Boot Camp! I love it! Its different than any other class I have ever been too, it challenges your body in so many ways and you find yourself doing things you never thought possible!

sleep, funny faces and TEETH!

Our routine got a little messed up last week with Daniels surgery and taking a week off from school. As we started up again this week, naps went out the door and now when he gets home from school he is just exhausted. As I got done making dinner I came out to grab him and this is what I found. Poor little guy! Hopefully we can get back in the swing of things and get Daniel back on his schedule with school.
once again......Brielle and her funny faces, she can't just smile at me, but that is okay, because I get a kick out of her!

We have 2 teeth! They just broke through the other week and surprisingly she hasn't been that grumpy, she sure has been chewing on things like crazy, but I always hear these horror stories about when kids are teething, and well I guess I got lucky, we never had problems with Daniel and it doesn't seem to be bothering her all that much either.
