How about those JAZZ
There is nothing better then a Jazz game in the middle of the day, a Jazz party with seven layer dip, and stuffed mushrooms....

Bitter but Sweet
We all go through life hoping that we will become what we want to be and accomplish all that we can. Having a family and being a mom is such a great blessing. Todd and I have been blessed with 2 beautiful children a home and for the most part good health. Audrey and Jaxon have brought so much joy and happiness to us, that making the decision to have another baby was easy for us. Though we both knew that 9 months of throwing up, IV therapy and sleepless nights would in the end all be worth it.
As Todd and I planned our first family trip to San Diego getting pregnant was at the back of our minds. Sea World, Wild Animal Kingdom, and the San Diego Zoo awaited us. Spending the first night in Primm NV was a blast, till Audrey started throwing up and running a fever. The next 6 hours were long and boring. Todd drove and I read a book. Getting to the end of my book crying with every page that I read, Todd turned to me and said, you are so pregnant. He took the next exit and stopped at some dollar store to get a cheep pregnancy test. Who would of thought that a dollar test would show positive and be right. We were pregnant. Needless to say that the rest of the trip went by to fast. But we had a blast. In November I started to get really sick and the Dr wanted me to get on IVs so I would not get dehydrated and that the medicine would work faster. A nurse came to the house and taught Todd how to clean, change, and inject the medicine into the IV. This helped so much with the morning sickness. I was able to take care of Jaxon and Audrey and do a little of the house work. Thanksgiving came and went by. December 6th I started cramping. I called the Dr (my Dr was not on call) he said not to worry that this is normal and to come in tomorrow (it was a Sunday) for a ultra sound. I was really worrying that something might have been wrong. I asked Todd to give me a blessing. Todd and Jake a neighbor and a good friend came over to help with the blessing. Todd and I both knew that I was going to be fine, that I would make it through anything with the love and support from my family and heavenly father. ( In the back of our minds we both new that we would be able to raise our baby, but that it would not be here on earth.) Monday morning I found out that I had miscarried. Our sweet little baby was gone. As I tried to take this all in I called Todd. Through the tears I told him that our baby was gone. I drove home to meet Todd, which felt like a 2 hour drive. When I walked in I fell into his arms and we both cried. Both praying for comfort and for some understanding.
You here about people having miscarriages but never think that it will happen to you. You become bitter, and want to know why and what happened. Nothing makes sense. Heavenly father has a plan for all of us. We know that part of his plan was for us to give our little baby a body. A body was all that was needed. Together as a family we know that we will be able to raise him, get to know, and as Jaxon would say " we can't wait to play with him". Jaxon talks about the baby all the time, so we have given our little baby a name, Hayden. Todd and I both felt that it was going to be a boy. What a sweet little boy Hayden will be. Hayden we think of you often, miss you and can't wait to see you some day. Jaxon and Audrey prays for you every day along with mommy and daddy. We Love you.

Funny, Little, Thankful Things
Mom, the weatherman said that it is going to snow for four more days then Santa is coming.
Mom, thanks for letting me sleep on your floor.
Dad, you stay here and watch TV. I am going to snuggle with mom in your bed.
Mom, we can name the baby aunt Janie.
Your are not the mom, I am and do not talk to me like that!
Mom are you okay? I am sorry you don't feel better
Mom remember when you threw me on the couch and I have an owee on my eye, that was funny.
Mom, Audrey is buggin me.
Mom, Audrey is not being nice.
I asked jaxon if he farted, he so no it must have been a cow!
I am thankful for so many things. My kids, my great husband, the new baby ( even though I am sicker then a dog and am having to get IV therapy). I can truly say that I have been blessed

A funny little story..
Todd and I woke up this morning and drove to Brigham City, and thought, "We haven't been to the DI in a while. Let's stop by and see what they have." As we were wandering through the store I had found a wooden snowman that I can paint and put together for .75 (it still had Walmart's price tag on it for $3.00) Great buy for me. We went over to the glass cases where all the special items are. There were snow globes, music boxes, spoons, Barbie's, and books, all of which are collectibles (Ya, right). Todd and I noticed a little leather book for $150.00 That's right- something was really priced over $20. This book was signed and even had a photo of the author. It was dated 1914. The nice gentlemen did a great job selling this, because Todd and I both left with vision's of money (paying off our house, student loans, getting a new car, anything and everything we ever wanted.) When we got home I put the kids down for a nap while Todd looked up the book on the Internet. He didn't say too much but when he did it didn't sound good. "$8.00." He looked again. This time a different site. "$10.00," nothing that was going to pay off our home. We felt betrayed. The lovely little helper (with the bright orange bike helmet (what were we thinking?)) told us that they looked up the book and it was priced at $250.00. Needless to say, it was overpriced. Long story made short, we got our money back and no longer have the book.
Remember this: Things at the DI can be over price like any other store.

Is it that time of the month again????
Ever had a day that where you want to cry, and no matter what anyone says it is never the right thing. Your kids drive you nuts, your husband asks you when you are "going to start." Nothing sounds good to eat, and you want to make a really big purchase, like a car.
People I feel like I am going crazy.
On another note. Audrey's first tooth FINALLY broke through. Todd, was so excited, he told her that she was growing up and that next she would be starting her period. Leave it to dad to always say the right thing.
Jaxon. is learning to talk back, and when he is in time out he is always telling me that I am a mean mom. He is a pro at rolling his eyes, and even when he is telling me that I am soooo mean, he seems to keep me laughing. Even if it is for only a second. But he is really good at pressing my buttons and knowing when to do so.
Till next time....
