What's Better?....

What is better than Christmas?... not much in my opinion. It brings family together, people seem to be in a better mood, the music, the smells, and the sales!! It also reteaches us of the true spirit of Christmas and why we feel better and happy. The birth of our savior..

Long ago, a man and a wife
had traveled very far.
The rested in a stable
underneath a shining star.
That night the mother had a child,
a gently baby boy.
"his name is Jesus!" angels sang,
and shepherds smiled with joy.

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful and fun season! Merry Christmas

We Love October!

It has been such a fun October. It's gone so fast, but I'm ok with that :).
Exciting things that have been going on... My sister Elissa had a Harry Potter Party! It was a blast. We had so much fun dressing up in our character, I think Jordan more than me, (he's a Harry Potter nerd, big time)... Jordan and I got to visit our beloved Vernal and spend some much needed time with our families. We loved it. Jordan also got to go to North Dakota for some hunting and my little sister and my mom gave me my first baby shower. It was so fun getting a start with baby things, it made it even more real and exciting!And while we where in Vernal my sister law, Veronica, had her sweet baby girl. It got Jordan and I even more excited.... if that's even possible.... And last... Happy Halloween! We didn't have any plans for halloween night, so we headed to Jordan's grandparents house so we wouldn't have to ignore all of our trick-or-treaters (we didn't get any candy) But the night was still fun!

Prego Update.

Me: I am feeling so good now. I get really tired all the time, that's just because I already can't sleep at night so I'm always welcoming a little nap here and there. My tummy is stretching and growing, making it hard to breathe and hard to want to eat cause I feel as if there is no room. But i guess that's just what stage I am at right now... all until he comes.

Jordan: He finally felt baby boy kick two days ago and he says 'WOW he's strong!'. I just think, yes I know, he is always kicking me. Jordan is the best husband, he caters to any of my needs (which mostly consist in messaging my feet or legs) He is so excited and he can't wait to have a little distraction for church.

Baby Boy: Kicks and kicks and kicks. Loves to kick my bladder making me have to always pee, I get up at least three times a night. :(. But all of it's ok, cause I love to constantly feel him. 

I could stare at his cute profile all day!!!

So little funny/embarrassing story. Today during my ultrasound, I started feel very dizzy and sick but I didn't want to take my eyes off the screen, afraid I might miss something. It got worse and the doctor notice and asked if I was ok? (I must have been pulling faces) I asked if we could take a short break so I could go get a drink of water real quick. But as soon as I sat up, I had to make a run for the bathroom. Jordan thought it was funny that I got motion sickness watching the screen. I felt super bad I had to stop the doctor.

21 Weeks

Most my weight is going to my face. Soon I will look like.......

Time and All Eternity

We did it!! we went through the temple and we now get to be together forever. 

It was a very full and busy day, but I loved every minute of it. The experience was beautiful and silly as it may sound our baby boy was just wiggling away the whole time during everything special happening. We have been extremely blessed lately and I know it's because of our choices we have made. 

I just want to thank everyone who came and supported us and also for all those that couldn't make it but still was there supporting us. Thank you!

Cute baby Paige and Elissa

I love love the 4th of July. Jordan thinks I get a little silly and over bored on this holiday, but it's one of my favorites... I just can't help it.. This year we celebrated it with a BBQ at Jordan's grandma and grandpa Brown's... So many choices of yummy food and fun games, then we had our own little fire work show and played with sparklers.

Something Exciting!

On May 11, 2013 Jordan and I Celebrated our first year together and it was such a fun fun day! And two days later we received some very exciting news... At first I thought "No, No!.. not true." But later I got the exact same answer. And after the shock and nerves calmed, I got very excited and called Jordan to inform him of our exciting news...

Yes we are expecting
  January 20, 2014





So to inform our families, we bought Jordan this shirt and just had him wear it to see how long and who would be the first to notice.
We headed to breakfast to meet up with my family and we made sure to be fashionably late to make sure all eyes would be on us when walking in... and before we could even take a seat my brother TJ asked, "Are you guys trying to tell us something?" and my little sister Amber just started snapping her fingers. Then mom started crying and it was a  fun experience.
That night we headed to Jordan's parents house to see if they would get it.. When we walked in, his sister Carlie laughed and said, "Jordan you need to have a baby first before you can wear that shirt." and it ended there for about 45 min. then Jordan and I started giggling to each other and decided we better help them out. Five more minutes and Jordan's sister Carlie was the first to notice we were trying to say something. Then it was just excited cheers.

10 weeks

Now I always told myself I wouldn't put a sonogram up but its so different and fun when its your own. So I'm sorry.. kind of.
We had our first appointment last Monday on the 24th and it was just amazing to hear peanuts little heart beat. There is something actually there! And then to be able to actually see little peanut. it was just such an amazing experience. Even though I was terrified. It was the best!
But this is our little peanut. Already such a wiggler and a thumb sucker.. uh oh.

I am 11 weeks now. Almost done with the first Trimester

Catching Up

A lot has happened sense November, so I'll do a quick catching up to bring you up to date.

• So we headed to Salt Lake in December and moved in with Jordan's grandparents. They were so nice to us and took care of us a lot more than they needed.
• Shortly after we found an apartment in Sandy and we are still there. We love our ward we are in right now, such great people. 
• This was our first time living on our own since we have been married and we were ecstatic. But you better believe we had the full on force of the "first years the hardest" in just a couple of months. But the great thing about being in love, is that none of the matters. As soon as we got our differences figured we have forgotten all about those months. And now we can say we think we have a pretty great life right now! 
• On May 11 we celebrated our first year together. Its crazy how fast time has gone, yet we look back and realize everything we've done and accomplished and think, yup it has been a year. Crazy!
• We were wanting to move back to Vernal at the end of this month, but things... or people have done everything in there power to make sure we stay here. And now we are. We miss Vernal so much and can't wait for the day we get to move back to our beautiful town. But we need to be here in the city. We don't know why yet... But why ask questions, just trust and follow.

So now you are caught up. There are some very fun and excited things happening here in the very near future... I'll be better at updates :)
