Annie's tricks.

So, I'm lounging at my house (lets just say, it was past breakfast time : S) I'm not dressed, Annie isn't dressed..So I hear someone at my door and I was a little well, paniky. (pathetic I know, but I was a little embarrased I hadn't started my day) I throw on some sweats and pull my hair up and go to the door to find...A PACKAGE! I love LOVE love getting packages from UPS. Also, a package won't judge me if I have B.O! I open it and there it is, my camera. I had reciently got an email saying they couldn't fix it unless I had the reciept to prove it was still under warranty, so I was thinking they just sent it back because I hadn't gotten back to them. . Turns out they found out it was still under warranty and totally fixed it! I was super excited, Annzlie has started to do really fun things that I wanna remember forever and so I could show my far away family (and any close family that doesn't get to see us very often -poor saps-) Anyway , here are a few of her new tricks!

meeting Annie's great GREAT grandparents

That's right, two greats...and that's not just because they are amazing and inspirational (which they are) My Grandma and Grandpa Young are Jennifer's grandparents making them double great to Annz! Annzlie was actually born on Grandpa Young's brithday, April 10th. He is exactly 90 years older than her.

She was also blessed on their wedding anniversary. Jennifer and I drove over with the baby and had an awesome little visit. They have always been so sweet to me, and welcomed me into their family with open arms...I consider myself extremely lucky to be a part of their family!

As of late...

My girl is gettin so big! She is rolling all over the place now! My camera is getting fixed, but when it gets back I'll post a video. It's a little scary though, becuase I put her to bed on her back, and this morning she had rolled to her belly in the night..freaked me out. She also had her first tast of cereal..she LOVED it! It was so funny, she ate it better than she takes a bottle. She takes after mommy, we love to eat!



We also got to meet Cayden! I was so excited to finally see him in person..he is even cuter than his pictures(!).. Can you believe Annie is a week older than him! He is getting to be a big boy - I think they will be good friends. We had such a good time hanging out with everyone, I married into an awesome family.

I have been working really hard to get my bows made and get **jam** started. I put Annie in a chair so she can visit me while I work on it all...I think she is getting pretty tired of it...and tired in general. She has been such an angel for me during this busy busy time.

....until next time. lots of <3

We went to the parade in Scofield, it's so fun to watch the kids watch the parade - it was more sunny than Annzlie likes though. We went home and watched the fireworks in Huntington that night. Fireworks are my favorite part of summer, I friggin love em!

There is something so sweet and spiritual about a baby blessing. Annzlie and my nephew Gatlyn were blessed last Sunday, it was a seraphic sort of day. Rue blessed them both, Gat is big enough that he just wanted to love on everyone and take their glasses! Annie whined. haha Jennifer and I designed the gown and Jennifer and Irene made it. It turned out so beautiful! Grandma Jenn also made her a pearl bracelet. We went to the Old Fire House and had lunch - Subways - salads - and BIRTHDAY CAKE! Haygen's birthday was the next day so Charlene got a pinata and some cake, it made it lots of fun for the kids. They were also able to play in the playground. It was such a nice time to just hang out for a while. It was such a great day and I'm so glad for the family and friends that were there to share it with us!

Do you know if this hotel is pager friendly?

I have a new understanding of the Vegas hype. Bob took my mom, Aaron, Katlin and I to Vegas while he played in the world series of poker. It was a friggin blast! We did everything we could fit in. The first night we went up the Stratosphere. Katlin and Bob were hugging the wall the whole time - mom was a little braver - and Aaron and I, well, lets just say we are totally bad asses. We rode the big shot and insanity and it was AWESOME. The next day we went to the shark reef aquarium (I kinda had to drag everyone, aparently I'm the only one so facinated with fishies)
Of course we walked the strip. . we watched the Belligio fountains (mom LOVED that) Aaron accepted some porn, and I got a picture with Elvis! I also sat very very close to a passed out homeless guy. We also went to Mystere by cirq du solei...it was my very favorite part, and we went to the wax museum. That was a blast and a little freaky at the same time. When I went to hug on John Wayne, my heart was pounding a little! We went to Tournament of the Kings and it was pretty fun. It was in the hotel we stayed in so that was convienient. It would have been a lot funner with little kids - but our dinner didn't come with utincils and the show was pretty cute. We went to the show in the sky at the Rio. I loved the show, Katlin loved collecting beads from the dancers! They have their platforms attached to the celing and it goes around the whole casino..Lets just say Katlin made about 20 trips and got lots and lots of beads. There were booths all over the place with some Iris Impressions dresses, it's like a wrap around skirt that you can wear 100 ways. I eyed them the whole time, and finally broke down and got one. I played and played with it. My mom even got a couple! (you have to know my mom to know how unusul that is!)

Go shorty, it's your birthday!

Childbirth was the best thing to happen to me in 9 months. This in NOT me being sarcastic. I tried so hard to get her to come early..or even on time and she just wasn't having it! I tried dancing, swimmin and even castor oil. Finally 2 days after she was "due" I asked to be induced. We went in at 6 pm and started pitocen. My nurse was a self-procalimed "pit queen". Dr. Gagon broke my water at about 10pm. One of Katlin's habbits that drives me totally crazy is when he eats his sunflower seeds. . . and the boy goes to the store and gets a bag while I'm having contractions, I was so ready to kill him. He made up for it by staying by my side the entire time I was in the hospital, and by being sweet even going on no sleep. I'll never forget my epidural. It was the best feeling in the world! That Dr. nearly had a new stalker. My legs FINALLY relaxed! I couldn't feel anything from the waist down. It was heaven!! Annzlie was born at 6:06am weighed 7 14.5 lbs and was 20 inches. Every time she got passed to another granma she had a litte fit! When they were cleaning her I just cried and cried. I was SO happy to finally meet and and see her! I feel like I recovered pretty quickly. As much as I hated being pregnant, I sure love having my little Annie here!

By far the most common craving of pregnant women is not to be pregnant. ~Phyllis Diller

I had a really really good pregnancy, and still hated it. The only thing I liked about being pregnant was the ultrasounds. The hormones, being so uncomfortable, starving, uncontrollable bladder, my body changing so drastically, no sleep at all...HATED IT! Everyone keeps saying I'll forget, but I'm not quite sure I believe it. I do want another baby so that Annzlie will have a sibling but I'm pretty sure I'm done at two. Katlin would have six if I let him. He will hold our baby and say "look at her, how can you not want a whole bunch?" Uh, helloooooO! He didn't have to be pregnant! Call me selfish..that's just the way it is.

You'll never find a love as true as mine...

I absolutely believe everything happens for a reason. Katlin and I are the same age, went to the same school in a small county..but all 3 years of High School we never spoke a word to eachother. He got married to someone else, I got married to someone else..and we both got divorced. I moved back to Orangeville and started working at Harts and Subway. Our first little exchange I had started the morning working at Subway which is so very glamorous, and it made me smell like itilian herbs and cheese bread, then I changed my shirt and started my shift at Harts. We were getting ready to close and I was mopping the floor when Tyson and Katlin came into Harts. I knew Katlin but never remembered him lookin so smokin hott. He had those curls that were to die for and I was looking for someone that was divorced becuase I had learned so much from my former marriage and divorce. I was spending quite a bit of time with Katlin and Tyson, and talking to Tyson alot more. I decided I needed to take some action so I set Tyson up with my friend from Moroni so that Katlin would hang out with me. We soon spent more and more time together alone. We originally planned on getting married in November, but I was just ready to have it over and be Mrs. Katlin Bell! We were married September 19,2009. We threw that bi**h together in a week! It was very quaint and nice, we only invited immediate family and grandparents and Tyson and Alissa. I walked down the isle to George Strait

"Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete,
And as long as there's a breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see,
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm,
You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine,
A love as true as mine."

I'm so glad this was a part of our wedding because for us..it was kind of like our vows. And as I read the lyrics I not only think of my husband, but my sweet baby as well. Bishop Tuttle married us, and we had some cake after the ceremony. The whole thing was done in an hour and a half. It was awesome! We certainly have our ups and downs - but nothing feels more right than when I'm home with my family.

Let's get it started!

Well, here I am. Blogging. I'm actually not quite sure I'm clever enough for a blog, but here is the thing - my work BLOCKED facebook. Working as a dispatcher in po dunk emery county leaves me lots and lots of down time that was was blissfully filled with hours of Happy Aquarium and pretending I have a social life by reading about everyone else's. It was also the best way to show off my cutie little daughter, Annzlie. Hopefully, though, I can get the hang of this blogging crap and it can help me to fill some time, and keep family and friends updated. I'm going to back track a little bit and do seperate blogs for my wedding and my pregnancy/birth of Annie. Hope ya'll like it!
