Oh.. And I made these to match all my new decorations in my kitchen.
You can just call me Crafty Sue.
Well, I already had the board but it didn't match.
So I redid it!
And the little box is a recipe box!

Goodbye Life
I might die soon.. yes, you heard me right. Scott is going to KILL me.
So, we just moved into a little townhome and the kitchen was kind of blah. So I took the liberty of making it beautiful. After SEVERAL (and by several I mean three) trips to Tai Pan I have made my blah kitchen an amazing work of art.
Scott has only noticed the 1st time I went (and I got the "I could've used that money on bills" talk). And since then he hasn't paid too much attention. Or maybe he has seen it all and thinks that it was all from the 1st trip?
..I don't know. I just know that if he finds out all the things that I have bought he is going to murder me.
This might be the last time I'm posting on here.. ever.

My "Job"
I'm a "nanny".. yep.
All my tears and raging emotions with finding a job and leaving my sweet Summer with a babysitter was all for nothing! (Well, not really.. if I did have to leave her to go back to work I would go into a serious depression.. really.)
BUT.. Great news! After we moved to Kaysville my moms cute cute neighbor asked my if I would babysit her kids 2-3 days a week. My prayers were answered! I was kind of nervous at first. I haven't babysat any other kids since high school.. especially not 3!
Three kids + my own is much harder than I thought it would be to balance.. but I'm doing it and I'm doing it well! (The kids & their mom love me.. YAY!) And, to make matters even BETTER I absolutely love, love, love the kids. 8 year old, 5 year old & a 2 year old. They are all adorable.. and SO GOOD!!
I really and truely am so happy. I was worried though that it wasn't going to last long.. and then the mom told me that she actually got a part time job and that she wasn't just filling in for people anymore.. MORE great news!!
And of course for the most important.. Summer. I hope so much that I am giving her all the attention she needs while caring for these other kids as well. But I think that with the attention I can't give her she is getting it from the other kids. They all love and adore her. It's so cute, especially the 5 year old girl. She asks to play with Summer, hold her and feed her all the time. Summer eats all the attention up.. she loves attention. And, I think it's great that Summer is around other little kids. She's not around a lot of people that are under the age of 16!
Anyways.. so so so happy and hopefully it lasts for as long as Scott is still in school!

V-Day is over.. thank GOODNESS!!
WELL, Valentines weekend was HORRIBLE, well, at least Saturday was. We started the day looking at houses in South Ogden, Roy, Sunset, Layton and Tooele. I think we found some that we really liked.. yay!
After loking at houses we dropped Summer off at my in laws so Scott and I could go out for V-day. We went to go see The Wolfman (not my choice!).. soooo lame. Don't go see it. We went back to Scotts parents to pick up Summer and she was super happy! After we were there for a little while she just started screaming her head off.. I think her teeth must've been really hurting her.. she's teething & her teeth have been cutting through this weekend.
So we decided to go home and she sounded like she was in a lot of pain so stopped at Target to get some baby tylenol and teething tablets. Scott stayed in the car with Summer & when I got back out she was fast asleep. Two seconds after I got back in the car Summer started throwing up.. like 5 times! She was covered head to toe in throw up. We FREAKED out & calling a ambulance seriously crossed my mind, but then I decided I was over reacting. I took Summer out of her car seat & held her tight.. (getting puke allll over my new coat.. not that it matters.. I'm just glad she's ok now.) I put Summer back in her car seat and we drove to Urgent Care. When we got there Summer was acting ridiculously happy! I has so happy!! I guess throwing up made her feel better! Scott drove us home and we decided not to go to the Dr.
When we got home I checked her temp she was normal.. weird! Anyways, we decided that I should sleep with her just to make sure that she wasn't throwing up anymore. No puke that night but she did decide to wake up crying at 2:00 & 5:00.. I didn't dare give her any orajel. I was worried that was what was making her throw up in the 1st place.
Anyways, needless to say.. I feel so bad for poor little Summer and would take all of her pain if I could. But I guess if she doesn't feel pain & sadness then she wouldn't know of the happy and good things in life, right?
Oh, and I think I deserve another Valentines date!

Exhausted
My day:
6:00- Summer wakes me up. I hurry and get out of bed to get her because my parents room is right above Summer & I didn't want her to wake them up.
6:01- Decided I was too tired to get up so I wrapped Summer back up hoping she would fall asleep.
6:15- She's back up.
6:20- Get Summer fed and changed for the day.
8:00 - Put Summer down for her nap.. and took one myself
10:00- Summer woke me up
10:30- Played with Summer, fed Summer, played some more, put Summer in her jumper
11:00-12:00- Ate leftover Superbowl food.. ugh.
12:00- Tried to sort through listings that our realtor sent us all while Summer was smacking the keyboard and I had to pull up the window she closed like 5 times.
12:30- Finally got them sorted out.
1:00- Mom came home and decided she wanted a nap, which meant I had to keep my daughter quiet
1:05- Decided to come clean our room. Summer fell off the lovesac. It was just fluffed so it was up about 2 feet high. She didn't even cry.. big girl!
1:15- Called the Dr. office about a billing question.. then called the insurance company.. and then had to call the Dr. office back to straighten everything out. While doing this I found Summer playing with cords and plug ins! AHH!
2:00- Summer goes down for her nap. Yayyy
2:15- Shelby comes back from Spoon Me and we actually get to sit to watch a movie.
4:00- Go back through the listings & make a new list.
4:15- Talk to Scott about the listings.
4:40- Summer is still asleep.. thank goodness. And I am finishing up this post.
I am SO exhausted. ALL THE TIME. I keep telling myself to not take naps, that my body will get used to Summers new schedule.. but evidently it takes more than a week. I feel like I am going, going, going when really I don't do that much. Today I got to take a nap and watch a movie, normally i'm too busy. ughhhhh I need more sleep.. maybe i'll go take a nap?!

Dear diet,
I hate you!
Ok so I am doing what I said I didn't want to do.. HCG. I'm so lazy, but I wanted to lose weight. The plan is to do the 26 day diet wait 3 weeks then do it again. Then be done with the diet & eat better and excercise my life back. I've never been (except when I was pregnant) this big.. 155 lb. Not that that's that big or anything, but it's just not where I want to be. Today is day 3 of the diet & day 1 of the 500 cal. diet. This diet better work because I am starving myself! : )
I am going to die.
1/13/10 Day 8- lost 7 lbs.
..I guess it works! I don't feel like I'm getting as good as results as other people though : / There have been days I've lost 3 lbs. And there have been days that I've lost nothing! ..Frusterating!
1/18/10 Day 13- lost 9 lbs.
..NOT doing good lately. I have cheated.. a LOT. uggggg. Tomorrow will be a better day & NO cheating!
1/22/09
I suck!

Christmas 2009
Christmas time seems to just keep getting better & better for us. Last year me & Scott were in our little apartment having our little Christmas the 1st year we were married. I will always remember last years Christmas. It was so tender. This year we got to house sit so we had our own Christmas & had quite a bit more money to use for presents because we're not paying for rent. We love having our little sweetheart here and can't imagine the holidays.. or life.. without her. She has her moments like all babies.. but she is such a good, happy baby. I am so blessed! I have a wonderful husband and the best little girl. I can't wait till next Christmas, I can't wait to teach her more about Christ & his birth & read Christmas stories to her when she'll actually understand a little more.

Most of you that have kids i'm sure you already know this and feel the same way.. but now it's all about our child.. everything we do evolves around her.. and this Christmas we totally went overboard on presents for her.. but we were so excited for her I think we forgot about buying presents for each other a little.
Summer got from Santa & Scott and I: a few books, 2 Disney movies, a sit & stand walker, some stuffed animals, new blanket, sippy cup, some bottle caps for her bows, crawl toys, bath toys, sock monkeys, stuffed soft doll, elmo toy, blocks, binkys, socks and toy rings.
After we opened presents at 4:00 in the morning (Iactually work up at 2:00.. woke Scott up at 3:00 and then we finally decided to get up at 4:00.. we were a little excited) the 3 of us took a much needed nap. Went to Scotts brother, Travis' house, had breakfast, went to my parents house. Opened presents there, had a late lunch, and then came back the the neighbors house that we're sitting.
My parents/sisters gave Summer tons of stuff as well.. 1st grandbabies get the royal princess treatment in my family. I think she's getting a little spoiled.. from Scott & I as well. I keep telling Scott that we need another one soon so the spoiling stops.. that doesn't go over well with him! : ) My parents/sisters got Summer: a bath seat, a sit & stand walker, Shelby drew a beautiful picture of her, some clothes, bottle caps for her bows, LDS Childrens Songbook, bath stuff, hangers (her favorite toys), heated stuffed animal, baby scrapbook & paper and baby food. Thanks grandma, grandpa, aunt shelby & aunt abbey!
Grandma & Grandpa Garton gave Summer clothes, Christmas outfits, a discovery toy, a Dora book that sings, soft farm animal books, hat with a cute flower on the side, a warm dog hat with matching mittens.

Blessed..

I have been thinking a lot this holiday season about how blessed we are. I love my family so much, they are my whole life, everything I work towards! I cannot imagine living a split second of my life without them. I say this a lot but I love my life.. I am so happy.

Ohhhh I looove Christmas
YES! That is my sweet baby girl sitting up all on her own.
We wrapped Summers Christmas presents last night till our fingers bled!.. Not really, but we did it until our backs hurt so bad, we had plans to watch a movie after, but then passed out on the bed after!
My sister comes home in 8 days.. I haven't seen her since September! Yay!!
I finally squeezed out of Scott what he wanted for Christmas! (OF COURSE.. all things of which come from Sportsmans Warehouse)
..Did I mention that I LOVE the holidays?!

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for..
.jpg)
&
I love my family and am SO thankful for Scott & Summer. I can't imagine living my life without either of them in it. Scott works hard & goes to school full time to provide for our family while I get to stay home with our cute baby. Summer brings joy to my life every day with her sweet, happy personality. They are both perfect & I couldn't ask for more.. really & truely. My heart belongs to my sexy fisherman & a smiley little chubby chunk.
I love my life.
