Pumpkin Carving

Even though we moved to logandale i still wanted to do the same traditions we did with my family in utah. So we got together for a marshall family pumkin carving at jenn and jareds house. The only way they had ever carved pumkins was by carving their own faces but i introduced them to pumkin carving kits they all loved it. I was so surprised with the amount of kids we had running around that it was going to be a mad house butt it wasn't all kids were way into carving their own pumpkins we only had one major accident dalton cut his finger butt it was no big deal. We had so much fun of course i made my moms traditional hot apple cidar can't pumpkin carve with out it. Are pumpkins didn't make it to halloween forgot how hott it is here but oh well it was still a fun activity.

Silly me!! ha ha a couple of weeks ago the field across the street from our house they forgot to turn off their share of the water so it flooded around are house and made it really muddied. but what i forgot was that the mud here is different becuase the dirt is clay not dirt so i was taking the back way that goes right beside and behind my house to go to janets house aka grandma and i totally got stuck i had to get out of my car grab the diaper bag and jace and walk back to my house and call someone to come pick me up it was so funny every one was laughing at me. and in the process i lost my flip flops in the mudd and they were my favorite too!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACE!!

Well Jace just turned 1 on june 13th. so crazy how fast they grow up. we had a hectic birthday jace and i traveled up north together last wed to be with my family we were having a family reunion at my parents house on Jace's birthday it was fun still. i wanted to go since i was having jace last year during the reunion and wasn't able to go. it was so fun to see all my cousin's married and with their first baby's as well.

We ended up celebrating his b-day that night at 7:30 after everyone had left but by then jace was cranky and just wanted to go to bed. so Sunday morning we tried again even though it wasn't technically his b-day he wasn't sure how he felt about his cake even after he tried the frosting he could of cared less ha ha it was so funny. we drove back home Sunday so that we could be back for his birthday party at grandma Marshall house. we had a double b-day party since his cousin lynsie b-day just one after his. we celebrated theirs together is was so much fun!! Jace got a monster tonka truck from his dad which was so cool he loved it. anyway tired and need sleep since now that i live in Nevada it's so hot i have to get up at 6 am to go running so i can beat the heat!! PS only 3 pounds until i reach my pre preggers weight ya me!! it's been a lot of hard work! but it was worth it i am now wearing my pre preggers jeans shorts and shirts hooray!! love you all tootles! :)

Angels and Demons

Went out on saturday night and saw this movie i thought it was really good action packed kept my entertained and on my toes. sitting next to Justins brother jared also helped with keeping me entertained he kept saying the funniest things.. I didn't even read the book but the movie was easy to follow and very good i thought. It is kinda gruesome in some parts but i have justin thier for me for those parts i just close my eyes and he tells me when to open them. haha i know i'm a wuss i just dont like blood even if it's fake. anyway you should all go see it very very good.

Update

Jace is now 10 months and walking all over the place. It's so funny i watch him run around like he's a big person yet he still has no teeth it's so wierd... ha ha Well a lot has been going on around here for Justin is finally graduating in two weeks on may first!! yes school is finally over!! Second we are finally moving out of the basement apartment we have lived in for 4 years so crazy never thought i would see the day. We are moving to logandale neveda where justin is from. He is going to be working in Vegas for his brother. It's a crazy change and but i think it's a good one we are ready for a change. anyway here are some cute pic's of jace i'm tired so i'm heading to bed.

One week till 9 months

It's so crazy how fast life passes us by i thought i would never make it the 6 to 8 weeks everyone told me it would take to get used to the whole baby thing and now Jace is almost 9 months old and practically almost walking! It is so fun to see your child learn all the new things they learn everyday and it seems they so it all at once then they take a couple of months off and then they start doing a whole bunch of new things all over again. Jace has passed the mile stone of being able to eat finger foods himself which is so fun to see his little fingers pick up food and shove it in his mouth! He's been making noises for awhile now but now he is actually trying to talk noises he just started that two days and he hasn't shut up since but oh how i LOVE IT!! but now i really have to watch because he started putting anything and everything in his mouth already had are first scare yesterday.. boy i don't like that feeling :) and now that jace has conquered crawling standing up and standing up with no help i mean by having a hand on the couch you know.. he is all about walking it's so crazy by crazy i mean WONDERFUL!! it took his first steps yesterday (Saturday) we went over to my moms to fill up are emergency essentials two week supply of water from my moms pure water tap and i was walking with jace and i let him try to walk to my mom and he took 4 steps with no help to her it was the most amazing feeling to me! i know it's going to be crazy when he is walking but there is no stopping jace once he wants to something so i might as well try and help him so he is happy. :) then today we went over for Sunday dinner and he walked to Justin about 3 steps and then to me about 4 steps it was so cool i wish i had it on tape or a picture but it was all such i surprise so i have to write about it.

anyway on to other stuff that doesn't involve kids ha ha which is my life so this is going to be pretty short. ha ha Was everyone else as excited about the warm weather as i have been the last couple of days i actually been able to take jace jogging again outside and not freeze are butts off i can't wait for the nice weather to stay!! I am also excited about basketball i have been playing free style basketball with woman in my stake for about 2 months now and i love it so i signed up to play regional bball in march where they are really games with ref's so fun.. its so nice to play sports again i love playing sports it makes feel good and like my own person aside from being a mother. and the girls are really good that show up every week so it's been fun and challenging which i love. i just need to get in better shape which i have been trying to do so I'm getting their just slowly but anyway got to go jace is waking up

Recap from dec 9th till now

Sorry guys i know its been a long time but a lot has happened in our busy lives. I'll do a short summary.
1. December we went to Justin parents house in logandale Nevada were their for over two weeks in was really fun. and we DIDN'T GET SICK!!! yeah!! if you didn't know that was the first time we never got sick while down their for Christmas. Jace started moving like crazy down their because all of his nieces and nephews are walking and running all over the place he wanted to keep up with them. and so he first starting crawling at the end of 6 months at grandpa and grandma Marshall's house.

2. we got home he was crawling all over the place crawling in circles around house it was fun. some peoplethink that crawling is harder for them to watch their kids but with Jace crawling made my life much much easier because from the time he was born all he has wanted to do is move move move... he is a mover and a shaker that's for sure. after about a week and half to two weeks of crawling that ended up not being good enough for him he started pulling himself up on anything and everything and then acting like he could walk and just fall down i was geez kid slow down!! ha ha it's so fun to see all the stages your kids go through even if its earlier that you had anticipated so this is the beginning of is 7 month in January.

3. WE WENT ON A CRUISE WITHOUT JACE!!!!!
and it was FABULOUS!!! So we went on a 5 day Cruise at the end of January to Mexico with only 2 stops Ensenada and Cabo san lucas we had already been their before on are last cruise but decided to go again anyway we went with Justin two brothers Jared and Nathan and their wives. I have to say the best part of the cruise was sleeping all through the night with know interruptions! it was just a nice relaxing cruise we didn't do anything just relaxed it was so nice and weather was good too their was a few choppy nights with the waves but i had a patch on so that helped. Justin's parents watched Jace for us man did we appreciate that!! When i got back Jace didn't want anything to do with me i think he was mad at me he gave Justin two big hugs and i got nothing it tool him a couple of hours to warm up to me again. butt it was ok he had a blast with Janet and Berk.

4. Last week till now
Man this last week and half has been tough last week Jace was really sick sick enough he didn't even want to play for two days and if any of you know Jace that is not normal he is a crazy kid who never lets anything slow him down. I remembered people telling me how their kids got ear infections and how miserable they are. well i finally took Jace into the doctor on Friday and it turned out he had Pneumonia and a ear infection i was shocked i was like he has what!! so that was a little scary but we got him on antibiotics since Friday and he is doing way better acting like his old self again minus talking way longer naps than normal. so i have been stuck in the house for a week and half now because i am just keeping Jace inside away from the cold. needless to say i haven't had any sleep for that long man it's crazy what we moms can do... now that he is acting like his old self again he is all over the place pulling books off the book shelf crawling under are kitchen chairs grabbing everything and trying to walk at the same time i love it!! anyway i tried to make this as short as possible here are some pictures
