BUSY BUSY BUSY

Here are the past couple of weeks in review. Sorry so many pictures, enjoy!!

Halloween was full of Parties Parties and more Parties. We had a blast this year showing off our Halloween costume. Devin and I aren't really big on dressing up, but we thought that since I am pregnant this year then we better go big or go home and I have to say that I was pretty impressed by our costume. WE won best couples costume at Derek and Nicole's party. Thanks to everyone who voted for us! And thanks to Joe, Melinda,Scott,Leslie,Derek and Nicole for putting on all the fun parties this year. We look forward to next year!

Devin's cousin Josh picked the back off the money tree with the $100 in it, Lucky Duck! The rest of us picked either a $1 or $10. By the way josh you owe me $25 for helping you out with what bag to pick!!

The same night as my Baby Shower my brother's wife went into labor with their third child. I was fortunate to watch the birth of my new niece and what a joy it was. The miracle of life is absolutely amazing and watching it happen is undescribeable. Scarlett Eliza Green came 2 weeks early she's healthy and weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz. and was 18 1/2 inches. She is so precious and it has made me anxious and excited for our little boy to come. Congrats Zach and Jenny!!



Thanks Becca and Lacey for putting together a super fun Baby Shower for me with all our friends. The food was delicious and the games were fun. Thanks to everyone that came. It was so much fun to see all of those who I haven't seen in awhile. We missed those of you who were unable to come. Thanks again everyone for a great night!!



My cute Mother-in-law threw a Baby Shower for me with Devin's aunts, cousins, and grandmothers. There was such a great turn out and we got so many wonderful things. Thanks everyone for coming to the shower. Sorry I didn't take very many pics.


GREAT DAY TO BE A UTE!!!

10/24/07 and FOREVER

I know it's past the 24th, but I just had to say "Happy Anniversary" to my amazing husband of one year. I know it sounds crazy that I've only been married one year and I'm 8 months pregnant, but Devin and I didn't want to waste any time! This past year has been a wirl wind of emotions and events and in some ways Devin and I are happy to see it go, but sad at the same time. We stated in Utah when we got married and three states and 8 months later we finally got back. One of Devin's cars was stolen and wrecked in Detroit and then he traded in his truck for a "family" SUV. It was getting difficult caring for our puppies from out of state so we eventually had to give our dogs Tank and Nala away, I had to leave Star 21 but now I am doing esthetics out of our house, and last but not least we found out we are PREGNANT. So Devin and I have had quit the year, but I wouldn't have wanted to experience it with anyone else then Devin. I have learned so much about myself over the year and couldn't have done it with out him. He is my strength, my love, my best friend, my light, my joy, my happiness, my life, my everything. I feel so lucky and blessed to have him in my life and to be sharing a life with him. I am so excited to start a family with him and look forward to all the years to come. Thanks babe for always being there for me and helping to shape the person I am today. I love you always and forever!!

Lots of catching up to do!

I am so so sorry I haven't updated in quit some time, but I feel like I haven't had anytime to do it. I'm sure many of you are saying, wow she doesn't think she has time now to update just wait until that little baby comes he will take up all her time. I admire all of you who have kids and are very good about keeping your blog updated. Hopefully I'll get better!! Devin and I have been busy moving in to our new townhome and are starting to feel settled. I can not tell you how nice it is to feel settled in one place! It is so nice to have all of my stuff out of boxes and in cupboards. When we moved for the summer we had to pack up so much of our wedding gifts and decorations now I am able to have it all out and be able to use it. I have loved being able to decorate. I'm not that great at it but I sure love to do it. I love how decorations make your house feel more homy! While we were gone for the summer I had no decorations just a couple pictures here and there, it made each of our apartments feel so empty. Sorry I don't have any pictures of our new place, but I will take some soon!! I've also been busy getting our nursery ready. WE finally set up the crib, moved in the dresser, and moved in the rocking chair. I'm still in the process of decorating it so that is my reason for not having pictures just yet, they'll be coming soon aswell. I have been alittle stressed out and overwhelmed by this whole nursery and decorating it. I have changed the bedding 3 times now and you know that when you change the bedding that changes all your decorating ideas. I don't know why I have made it so stressful, But I am happy to report that I have finally decided on bedding so now I can move on to the decorating. I'll be really happy when I'm all done with this nursery!! I have pictures below of the fun things we have been doing with friends and family lately. At the beginning of October my family got together for our Halloween FHE. Devin and I were in charge of it so we had pizza, decorated sugar cookies, and carved pumpkins. It is always so fun to get together with family, especially around the holidays and have fun holiday activities. I just have to brag about how cute all my nieces and nephew are. I love the picture of them standing proud by their carved pumpkins. They were all such good helpers!! Our friends Colin and Jamie Kent had a birthday party for their adorable daughter Presley, she turned one. She looked so dang cute at her birthday party and her mom, Jamie, did such a good job with decorating the whole room pink. Thanks for inviting us guys and we can't wait for our little guy to be apart of all the action. The best part of the whole party was watching Presley dig into her cake. I guess I shouldn't really say "dig" cause she didn't do that she very carefully would stick her index finger into the icing and lick it off her finger. She is such a girly girly not wanting to get messy!! WE had so much fun, thanks for inviting us!! One last thing that Devin and I have really enjoyed doing is going to the Utah Football games. My cousin RJ Rice plays for the Utes. He is a senior this year so it's been alot of fun to go to the games over the years and have a family member out on the field to cheer on. WE love you Rj and are so proud of you!! WE are so excited for the TCU game that's coming up in a couple weeks and can't wait for the BYU vs Utah game. WE are hoping that I don't go into labor at that game with it only being like 9 days before my due date! WE'll just have to wait and see what happens. GO UTES!! Sorry this is so long but like the title of this post says, I have alot of catching up to do. Enjoy!!

There is no place like home!

I know I know it's been awhile since I have posted anything, but I do have a really good excuse why! Devin and I have finally moved back home to good old Utah and we couldn't be more excited. This whole moving process has been quite the process to say the least. I didn't realize how much stuff Devin and I have so all I have been doing since we moved in is sorting through boxes figuring out what to keep and what to get rid of. I am seeing an end in sight so that puts a smile on my face! We have moved into a townhome in Lehi and are absolutely loving it. We are slowly but surely getting to know our neighbors and so far loving the neighborhood. Our ward is wonderful and look forward to getting more involved. I will soon post pics of our new home once it is clean and worthy of taking pictures!
Besides being busy with moving in we have really enjoyed spending time with family and being able to attend different family functions that we surely missed while being away. When we first got home we enjoyed spending time with the Rice Family up at my sister-in-laws cabin. It was super fun to see everyone and catch up. And I just wanted to say congrats to my cousin Mike and his new fiance Elizabeth. We are so excited for them and look forward to their wedding in January. A week later we spent time with Devin's family up in Park City. We had fun at the Alpine Slide, lunch at the Yummy Main Street Pizza and Pasta Company, and at the Olympic park. I couldn't really do much because of obvious reasons but I had fun anyways spending time with the Johnson Family. We have also enjoyed family dinners on Sundays. Nothing bets a super good home cooked meal! Last but not least we had so much fun at the Utah Football game on Saturday night. I love love love going to football games and I'm so happy to be back just in time for football season. Hopefully it's a good season! Go Utes!! I have some pics of all our fun adventures but not much so I hope you enjoy.

My trip home to SLC

I had such a fun time when I came home to visit this time. It was full of so many fun activities like Sun Valley, Lake Powell, buying a baby crib, FHE at Silver Lake, and a doctor's appointment. Thanks to my mom and dad for taking care of me and to my little sis for sharing her bed and bedroom with me, I know it wasn't easy. I love you all! But as much fun as I have had coming home every month to visit I will be even more happy to come home to Utah for good with my Devin and get back to normal life!!
I had the great opportunity to go to Sun Valley, Idaho with my family. We haven't been there for like 6 years, but we have decided to make it a family trip every summer now. There was so much to do and we all had such a blast riding bikes, swimming, makeing ice cream stops, and having tennis tournaments on the wii. Thanks mom and dad for such a fun vacation. We all look forward to it next year and Devin is excited to join us next year aswell.

In Sun Valley there are all these fun bike/walk trails everywhere. I asked Devin if he would get me a new bike for my birthday this next year so I will have one to ride in Sun Valley next year, we'll see what happens!!




We had such a fun time at the pool with all the kids and my cousins. Can't wait to go next year!

During my visit I went with Devin's wonderful family to Lake Powell. I had an absolute blast even though I couldn't really do anything because of the baby. I look forward to next year when I can actually participate in wakeboarding and the fun tube wars and making memories with Devin and our baby boy! Thanks Joe and Melinda for a wonderful time! I feel so lucky to have married in to such a wonderful family.

It is probably the hardest video game I have ever played and I really need to work on my skills, but what a great workout. Hopefully Devin and I can get one some day soon!

Devin and I are now official crib owners! I bought this darling crib at Downeast, it's the first thing I have purchased for our babies nursery. I'm excited to move back to Utah and start putting together a nursery!!
