29 weeks



yea im 29 weeks!! this pregnancy couldnt be any more different than when I was pregnant with Kherrington. (I have space between my boobs and belly! what a difference this makes!) I am still throwing up just about everyday and cannot enjoy any fattening foods!! :) Whats the point of being pregnant and needing to gain weight if I cant eat some yummy greasy foods or lots of ice cream?! This little girl for sure knows what she likes and does not like. It has been very fun to be pregnant and have a little one at home. Kherrington LOVES going to the doctor apts and seeing the baby and listening to the babys heart beat. She even has some pictures of the baby that she carries around in her purse! She had her hand on my belly one morning and the baby kicked her she quickly removed her hand and screamed then giggled. I know that Kherrington will be an amazing older sister and a big helper. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband who works hard all day but still finds the time to come home and play with Kherrington or get her into bed when I need to just lay down. What a wonderful husband he is and a wonderful father! He loves Kherrington and they have a special bond together! We all are super excited to have another little girl in our home and what a joy little girls bring!

and we are moving again!

lol i think that if u look at the past almost 4 years that jordan and I have been married you will the see the HUGE number of how many times we have moved. Moved to Spanish Fork when we got married. Then to Cleveland, Oh. Then back to Spanish. Then to Provo. Then to Orem. Then to Spring, TX. Now back to Provo Ut. O my goodness boy do we like to move. I guess it doesnt help that when I was little my dad loved to move so I was always living in a new home in Las Vegas. And Jordan grew up moving too. I guess its a good thing because then we know how to pack and Jordan can load up a truck very well. Lol. We are moving back to Utah because for a couple of weeks jordan started feeling like he was supposed to get back into school. Then out of the blue a school counselor from UVU emailed Jordan and told him that she would like to get him registered for fall semester and help him get his gpa back up so that he can get his grant back. We then learned that he cannot transfer to another school out here for a couple of reasons one of which being that he would lose a year of credits and he doesnt have residency so school would be ALOT of money. We then looked into having him do online courses through UVU and maybe staying here until the following semester begins. This was not possible because A. all the online courses were full and B. we then found out that we would loose residency in utah because we would have to register our cars in Nov and if we register them out here then thats no good. So the last week of July we made the decision that we needed to go back to Utah so he can focus on passing his classes and finish school before our kids get too old and our lives get too busy. I am so very proud of Jordan for taking the step back to school. I always feel that school is something important for him to do. I do know that we were meant to come out here for some reason. We didnt move out here just because we thought it would be fun we fasted and prayed and knew that God wanted us to be out here for some reason. I can think of a few lessons learned out here and maybe why that might be but our time out here is up and we are moving back. I am sad that its only been a couple of months since we got here. We both have really enjoyed the time spent with Jordans family. It was so much fun for me to get to know all his aunts and cousins our here since i have never met them before. We have had tons of fun and great times together! I am also very excited to be close to my sisters again. Kherrington has missed them so much and her little cousin and tells me everyday that she wants to go home. I am also excited because Heidi will be moving to Provo to start BYU this fall. What a fun experience to have all of us there together. We all could not be more excited. I am happy to say that we do have a place to live. My very kind and generous parents are letting us rent out one of their 4 bedroom homes. We love them so much and appreciate all that they do for us!
We are excited to start another new adventure with our family. I will about 10 weeks away from my due date once we move and that is a little stressful but I know that moving is the right thing to do and we cannot wait for this baby girl #2 to come!!

home again home jigidy jig

Thats right after being in Las Vegas for a little over a month Kherrington and I have found our ways back home. We once again had tons of fun staying with my parents. They are so nice to always let us stay forever. My parents are the nicest people ever they are aways willing to help out no matter what!! we went swimming with them just about every day and of course went shopping. We even did a little adventure up to Utah to my sisters again. Some of my favorite things that K did in vegas were
Grandma and Grandpa come home K run to Grandma and says "GO SHOPPING!"
K had decided that my dads favorite black chair was hers and if anyone was in it she would scream "GET OUT THATS MY CHAIR!" hahaha
she loved to swim with my dad in this raft that would let water in looked like a little floaty kid pool.
The list could go on. We had so much fun with you guys and thanks again for always letting K and I stay forever and ever!! We love and miss you guys!
 But we are back to this yucky hot humid weather. I swear Houston makes Vegas feel tons better! Kherrington has gone back to being in her diaper everyday. lol We are so happy to be back with Jordan. K never leaves his side its so cute. Thanks Babe for being the best hubby and letting us play longer than you thought we would in vegas! we love you!

happy 4th of July








Last year on the 4th of July Jordan was in Texas with his family and my family came up to Utah. I was very sad that he waS not able to see how much Kherrington enjoyed the fireworks. I asked him to come to the beach late so that he could stay a little longer in Las Vegas and see her watch the fireworks. Well like I said earlier Kherrington liked the fireworks this year...well not so much. She curled up into a ball in my moms lap made my mom hold her hands and laid there with her eyes closed pretending to be sleeping lol. It was very funny. We still had a fun time. My parents had some people come over for a bbq and swim party it was tons of fun!

Beach vacation 2011













Its that time again when all of us get together and play on the beach! Well this years vacation was a little different. Adam brought his girl friend Tracee and it was fun to get to know her. Jordan and WOody came a little late they both flew in during the week. Then the biggest difference this year was the SICKNESS. Poor little Kherrington got sick on SUnday. She wouldnt stop throwing up and the quick care wouldnt give her anything and made me bring her into the ER we then got her some meds which made her not throw up. (if i didnt give it to her she would throw up) she would wake up for about 20 min then sleep for 4 hours. she was this way until Friday. Amy got the sickness then my dad, then Chris, then Brighton. Luckily none of them were as bad as Kherrington. We still had tons and tons of fun. Its always fun to be on the beach and its always fun to be with your family. We had tons of fun and we are so grateful for my parents and for letting all of us go with them on this vacation!

Heidi Graduates!






I cannot believe that our little Heidi is done with high school!! Where does the time go? We all could not be more proud of her. She was valedictorian, and got tons of other awards. She gave an amazing speech in front of thousands of people. And she got a 5 on her AP Calc test (which means she scored perfectly) we are so excited for Heidi to go to colledge! We love you Heidi and we are so proud of you and all you accomplished!
