These are the days...

I have to admit its a lot harder to keep up on this with having 2 kids but here is a little update on what we have been doing lately.
I had company here for over 2 weeks so that was a little crazy but its always good to visit with family. Peyton I know its sounds crazy but is almost 2 months old!! The time has been flying by probably because I dont get to much sleep these days. I switched him to formula about 2 weeks ago and he was spitting up constantly and very fussy so I took him to the doctor and just like Laynie and myself he has acid reflux. So he has to go to a specialist and have some tests done and probably go on some stronger medicine. The good news is Laynie grew out of it at about 6 months so hopefully he will too. He smiled at me the other day which just made my heart melt <3

Laynie is just busy being a big sister most of the time she wants to help with him other times she doesnt want to be bothered. She started having this new phobia of bugs and wont go outside, so we have been trying to work with her on that. Every day she surprises me by the things she says. Most of you who know me, know that I put random words with things and give it my own meaning, well she must having been listening to mommy a lot because the other day she called my sister a gift! Like mother like daughter I guess.

Im in much need of a vacation but I doubt that will be happening anytime soon. I finally passed my 6 week mark so I can finally start working out and losing some of this baby weight and fit in my shorts and my cute new tankini. I am a weight watchers addict so I am going back to meetings!! I love them! and I swear by it.. it really works as long as I stick to it. I also only have one more month off from work
:( its going to be hard to go back but its only for a few hours a day.

Well this was kind of a random post but most of mine usually are :)

Busy Busy Busy

I cant believe it has been this long since I posted anything but things have been crazy busy the last few weeks! I also cant believe that my little Peyton is going to be 4 weeks old tomorrow.
I have had company in town for the last week for the blessing and it was also Laynies 3rd Birthday so we had a party for her that was lots of fun with lots of friends. Then on mothers day we had Peytons blessing so we had a luncheon for that after so we have had a lot of parties. Mothers day was a really nice day with doing his blessing and I felt the spirit so strong. It made me grateful to be a mother and also grateful to have such an amazing mom. My wonderful husband also surprised me and got me a spa package to Euphoria!!!
I really thought staying at home I would have more time on my hands but I feel like the days just fly by and I am always busy. Being a stay at home mom I decided is much harder than going to work because there are definetly days where I wish I could go to work!! I love these kids more than anything and when I do go back its going to be really hard to leave them with my hubby.

Being with my family has made me realize that it is the small things in life that really make us truly happy and I am so grateful for what I have in this time of a bad economy and so many problems in the world. I am so glad that I have the gospel to fall back on.
Well here a some pics over the last few weeks. Enjoy!

Happy One Week

Wow I cant believe that it has already been a week since little Peyton was brought into our lives. The time has really been flying by. He really is a good baby and has already brought so much happiness into our lives. Laynie is so good with her little brother and just wants to help with him. The day after I had him and came home from the hospital she told me that she had a baby come out of her belly and his name was Evan Evans.. haha she is so cute. I have to admit that it will be nice when he is a little older and he can actually get out of the house a little bit because sometimes it feels like the walls are closing in on me! After my 6 weeks of resting Im so going to the lake!! What can I say other than I love this little guy more than anything!

Peyton is HERE!!

So I am so excited to say that my little man finally made his arrival on Tuesday April 15,2008 at 10:50 am he was 7lbs 10 oz 19 inches long. The labor went a lot faster than I had expected but that is never a bad thing! It only took about 3 1/2 hours and I have to say it is much easier the second time around. I came home from the hospital yesterday and so I am just trying to adjust to everything still but so far it is going really well. He has been such a blessing and he hardly ever cries! I hope it lasts, but if it doesnt I will love him anyway. I think that he is so precious and his looks remind me so much of Laynie. I am so grateful that he made it into this world happy and healthy. Thank you to everyone for visiting and for your phone calls it made my day. I will have more pics to come but here are some for now.

The time has finally come....

I cant believe that I am finally saying this but there are no months or weeks left only 2 whole days... I have so many mixed feelings right now I am so anxious but yet a little nervous at the same time. I know I have said this so many times but I have waited for this day for what seems like forever. This last year has been hard on me because of the many personal trials and family trials that I have been through but amazingly the lord has blessed me and my testimony has grown leaps and bounds. At this same time last year I went through my second miscarriage and I think it is a little crazy that this little guy will be born only 2 days before the day that I found out last year. Having this baby has brought some much happiness and closure to those events in my life that I know the lord has continued to bless me. The last few weeks of pregnancy are always hard with the aching body, being exhausted, clothes not fitting, and what I love more than anything are the random comments! But I know that when I held Laynie for the first time I forgot about it all and it was all worth it and I know it will be the same when I finally hold Peyton. My life has truly been blessed with so many great things that I am so happy to have my husband who is my best friend and truely the love of my life, my daughter who amazes me everyday and my extended family who are always there for me no matter what. I am finally on maternity leave from work which Im sure will be missed but it is my time to be with my family. This blog was a little random but I guess thats what you get from a hormonal pregnant lady. haha
This is the last preggie pic that I am taking for sure!!
But pics of the baby to come this week when I get home and get some time, wish me luck <3

Not soon enough..

Here are some new pics the first one is of Laynie's new big girl hair cut! I love it and it is so adorable on her. It was time for her little mullet to go. She looked really nervous sitting in that big chair and I almost got a little teary eyed as we cut her hair but she loves it too! She is starting to look so grown up to me lately, its hard to watch them not be babies anymore!! The hair cut she has I actually had a few years ago and I love it and its making me want to cut myne I just dont know if I am ready yet since I have been growing it out forever.
This is my 37 1/2 week pic, I dont know how it can get any bigger because I am definetly out of room these days. I went to the doctor yesterday and nothing has really changed since last week. so I guess I will just have to wait for tax day. I know it will be worth the wait to have him here and be healthy. The other crazy pic is another one where my sister was getting creative. I love her but I dont know how she talks me into these things.
I cant complain to much because I only have one more week to work until maternity leave which im sure is going to go by fast. I am going to miss going to work because I seriously have some of the best co workers and it will be hard to not see them everyday!
I guess my hubby has started to notice my nesting as well and decided to help me out by cleaning the whole house today! It doesnt get any better than that. Life is good and yes it will be worth the wait.
Hope everyone has a good weekend....

What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire...

Wow very unlikely that this would ever happen BUT if it did I am pretty sure I would pay off my house by that Infiniti FX35 I have always wanted, a new boat and new wardrobe for me and laynie and of coarse something fun for Matt. I would invest a lot of it because I have always been a saver and probably help my family out with there financial needs too.

Things people don't know about me...
I was born and raised in Las vegas, I met my hubby on lds singles and he is the first member I ever dated even though I was raised in the church, I secretly obsess about everything, I wanted to be a forensic scientist, I like punk rock music, If I could be any crayon I would probably pick white, I always had way more guy friends than girls and sometimes its still that way, I love to dance even though I am horrible at it, I love suspense movies, to hide my insecurities I try to make other people laugh, I love to watch hockey, I dont like cats, and lastly I wear my heart on my sleeve, I may come off as being cold at first but I really am sensitive and take things personally (all the time and probably to much).
