Merry Christmas

So I guess after about 4 months I can finally update this..
So since it is xmas eve and my kids are asleep and my hubby is at work gives me some time to reflect on the past year and think about the true meaning of christmas. I know that I have said over and over what a hard year it has been, probably the hardest of the whole time we have been married.. BUT we made it through and we still have each other and our health and all the many blessings that we are able to enjoy each day.
I love this time of year most of all because it gives me a chance to give to those who are not as fortunate and that is the best feeling of all. What a different feeling christmas has as a parent when you are the one doing all the giving. Makes me especially grateful for all I have been blessed with over the years. I hope that this Christmas season will bring us closer to the lord and to each other.
Happy holidays to all of you, may your season be bright!

What's going on...

It's been forever since we have posted anything on here, probably due to both of us turning to Facebook, but for those of you who don't, I thought I would update you on what we have been up to. Mandy has been working at Macy doing Make-up and working crazy hours. It hasn't been all that she was hoping it would be, but she is continuing to look for better opportunities. In the meantime, if you need any suggestions on cosmetic products, she's your go-to girl. I on the other hand I have been dealing with some change at work. We have new management in Guest Services and they are taking the department in a new direction. I'm keeping optimistic and hope that things will get better, but we will have to wait and see. I've learned a lot as a manager and it will be difficult to not have the same role I've had for the past two years. Valet Managers will no longer exist and the new role will be Guest Service Managers who will uniformly run both bells and valet. I hope to continue to be an asset to the company I've spent 7+ years at, even though my role as a valet runner will be more limited. I've recently applied for NHP and I'm currently in background. It is a long process and should be since the responsibilities are great. I also continue to bug Mandy about going back to college. It is hard to find time, with our schedules being so crazy, and our kids already spending so much time at Mom & Dad's house. Mandy and I have also been trying to work with our lender on a loan modification. This process has been a long and stressful one. After 1 1/2 years of calling and faxing paperwork we are hopefully finding the end. I hope and pray the result will be positive since we love our home. Laynie is getting bigger and bossier everyday. She is still quite the toon-aholic and is a total girly-girl. The other day I was playing around with her and she yelled back, "Your gonna mess up my hair!" On the other hand your have Peyton, who is in to everything and has already developed quite the temper. He climbs up onto everything and when you tell him to get down or stop what he's doing he has a evil smirk on his face. He goes on to the next drawer or the next night light to rip out. He has started to talk a lot more and has become a little parrot. Our family is blessed and even with the changes going on we are happy. We are lucky we have such a great supportive family to lean on. Thanks for all the help and love you give us.

Exciting News..

Well since it has been forever again since I blogged I figured I would update this. Since the last time I blogged so much exciting things have happened. I started my new job in the middle of August at Macys Fashion show at Impulse Cosmetics. So Im doing makeup and also selling makeup which is fun but the schedule has definetly be an adjustment for me. Ive never really been a night person and sometimes the babysitting is interesting. I mostly work at night and then on the weekends its always different. I was under the impression that I would not be working every Sunday so Im still working on that part and hopefully get that figured out soon so I dont have to always rely on people switching shifts with me.
We are holding our grand opening next weekend so that should be lots of fun because I have booked lots of friends that I dont get to see all the time. I love doing makeovers but after that weekend I might be burned out for a few days because I have to do atleast 25 appointments for 2 days. Anyhow enough about that....

I cant believe how big my little man is getting. In just 2 weeks he will be going to nursery!!! Yes I am counting because the last few months have been rough trying to get him to last during church. He is walking and getting in to everything and already says so much. He is just a snuggly sensitive guy which I love. I especially love when he see's me he wants to give me the biggest hug. I hope that part lasts.



Laynie has always been mature for her age but the things she says lately truely amaze me. She is such a smart girl and makes me so proud of her. She can write her name and count to 10 and so many other things. She loves playing with her brother and friends. She is such a good sister and that makes me so happy.


The other exciting news is that in just a few days my Matt is going to be 30!!! Holy cow where did the time go, its crazy to think that we have been together going on 8 years. I dont think it has hit him yet, but that is good because I think the two of us are very young at heart. He is my best friend and my eternal companion and Im so glad and thankful for him. We always have so much fun together, laughing and raising our family, and Im glad to say that after so many years. He is a good husband and a good father. He has been currently talking about a career change and I support him in whatever he chooses. I have planned a cute little date for us to go and celebrate which should be fun because we havent been on a date in 4 months!! I love you more and more each year babe!! and even though you are losing some of your hair you are still hot to me! Happy BIRTHDAY !!!

Now Announcing!!!

Baby Brielle Elizabeth Swallia born 7/27/2009 6lbs 11oz and what an adorable healthy baby girl. My sister Rachel did great and she is going to be a great mom. Im so excited for them and this little girl is going to be spoiled and cute! I was trying to get my sister to go into this nesting mode last week by making her do laundry and we did some shopping and some other stuff and what do ya know... she went into labor!
Congrats you guys!



So Im not sure if anyone even reads this blog anymore but I guess thats not why Im doing it but here is a little update on what we have been doing lately. I am planning on starting my new job in the new next few weeks doing what I love. So Im super excited about that. I had an interview at MAC which has been a dream of myne to work there but it didnt work out but life goes on and this other job will be just as good.
I have been trying to just enjoy my time at home with the kids but sometimes it definetly is hard. My kids are getting so big and getting a mind of their own. They like to play with each other most of the time and they are the cutest little kids. Peyton is talking so much and walking ang gets into everything!! Laynie just loves dress up and playing with her friends and swimming.
Matt joined a hockey league a few months ago and is enjoying one of his nights off playing with the guys. He is just trying to figure out what direction he should go in with his career so he has some thinking to do.
Lots of things in our life right now are still up in the air but we are still being blessed and life is good!

So much exciting news!

So I have been meaning to get on here and blog but no one told me that since I have been a stay at home mom that I would be way bussier than when I was working! I have hardly had anytime to do anything on the computer.
There has been a lot going in the last month that if I didnt do this now I know I would start forgetting some of it. My baby sister Haley graduated high school with is crazy to me because I cant believe she is all grown up now. She is a beautiful young woman and I am so proud of her. (she just needs to meet a cute lds guy to date!)

Matt and I shared our 7th anniversary which was really nice to go on a date we had plans to go to melting pot but that was the day that they all closed down so we settled for cheesecake factory and went to a real cool show called The Mentalist.


Matt and the Mentalist
I had my inlaws visiting for a week which was fun we got to do a lot of shopping and eat a lot of yummy food. I also took Laynie and myself to the circus. I have been trying to do something with just me and her lately so that she knows she hasnt been replaced.


Laynie and I getting ready to go on our date

I also threw my other sister Rachel a baby shower which turned out so cute! There were more people than I have ever seen in my house but Im glad my sister had a good turn out and got lots of fun stuff for her baby. I cant believe her little girl will be here in just a month. Im so excited for her, I have always been excited for my other nieces and nephews but because its my own sister I feel like I want to help do everything. I know Rachel will be a such a good mommy and the baby will be adorable.

I also got a new job! I dont want to give out too many details yet because I dont have them but I will say that I am so excited!! If everything works out the way I expect I will get to spend more time with my family and also do what I love. This will involve doing makeup!!

My last thing that is going to be keeping my busy for the next few weeks is my ebay store. I started doing this about a year ago where I would buy a lot of stuff for a cheap price then turn around and sell it to make a profit. I love shopping so this is perfect for me. I bought A LOT of stuff at victorias secret now im going to sell it. Its a little time consuming but the end result is so worth it.

this is only half of the stuff (yikes!)

Life is good for the most part. Spending time with kids is great and I have loved actually spending time with my husband which has never happened because we have always worked opposited. Im just trying to have a positive outlook on so many things in my life right now that are up in the air, but I have faith in knowing that it will all work out...

Happy 7th Anniversary!!!

Seven years have flown by and as I look back at it I'm so grateful that I made the right choice, found the right person, at the right time. Mandy has been such a wonderful wife, mother, and friend. I know that she has helped me to be the person I need to be and to become. She has been a great strength and good example. I just wanted to tell her how much I love, appreciate, and look forward to forever together. You are my everything. Love you babe!
