3 Month Pictures / TV

Well, my mom & I tried our hardest at taking some cute pictures of Summy without having to go get them done some where. We didn't do too good & Summer was very tired and just wanted to sleep. Here's some funny & cute ones.

Here's her happy picture.

Here's her self soothing picture.

"I want my binky!"

"NOW!"

"Nope, not good enough!"

She wiggled out of her prop so much she completely slid out.

And finally she gets her nap!

Summer has been focusing in on the TV so much! It's so cute. We love watching her watch TV.

HAHA I LOVE this picture. She's propped up on her pillow watching TV.

A new beginning

SCOTT STARTED HIS NEW JOB TODAY!

We are so excited! Scott got a new job at AmericanExpress in West Valley. For those of you who don't know, Scott got laid off at Key Bank ONE MONTH before we had our baby. We had plans for me to quit me job when Summer was born. We were both really stressed out, but thankfully my dad got Scott a job at Intertape Polymer in Tremonton really quick. The job was super hard on our relationship, he worked 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. We were SO grateful that Scott had a job in such a crappy economy. But we were only seeing each other on weekends & we didn't think he would be able to go to school in the Fall. We filled out tons & tons of applications. We saw that AEXP was hiring and were really excited because we heard that they were a great company to work for. Anyways.. long story short.. we couldn't be happier because Scott got the job. We are so grateful. Heavenly Father was really looking out for us, making sure we were ok. Now we are just in the process of looking for houses & figuring out where we are going to live come November when our lease is up. We want a house SO bad. I really hope that we can find one, especially now that we have the little one here.

He would kill me if he knew I put this pic on here.

But here's my hottie on his 1st day of work! : )

The new toy!

Summer got a new mobile for her crib.. She loves it!

I love this picture. It's so bright & cute.

Her face says it all.

Loving life..

I have been busy busy busy..

Kissing these chubby cheeks.

Watchin this cutie try to suck her thumb.

(She LOVES her thumb.)

And cleaning up all her slobbers! : )

One year anniversary

WOW! I can't believe Scott & I have already been married a year. It really flew by. It feels like just yesterday we were walking out the Salt Lake Temple & headed to Scottsdale (our honeymoon). We went camping on our anniversary.. with Sumer & my in-laws.. So not the most romantic of 1 year anniversaries. We're having a cheap anniversary by going out for dinner & a movie.. (which I am actually stoked about because since Summer has been born we haven't had ONE night out on our own.)

SO much has happened in the last year. One month after we were married we found out we were pregnant. It was the scariest/happiest/most nervous/excited i've ever felt in my life. Scott has gone through 3 jobs in the past year because of the economy. And for the past 9 months the apartment has been (for the most part) spiffy clean.. and then after the munchkin was born it turned into a nightmare. No matter how stressed, tired & overwhelmed I feel I can always turn to my Scott & it's always better. He is so great. I really picked a great guy.

Well we saved the top of our wedding cake for our one year anniversary. It brings back awesome memories.. but I think it's just going to sit there. I don't think either of us wants to try a year old cake. I smile every time I look at it though. YES we had a lime green cake! How many people can say that?

Happy Birthday Scott!

Today was Scotts 24th birthday! For those of you don't know he has a horrible habit of having to know everything he's getting for Birthdays/ Christmas/ Valentines/ Fathers Day etc. He thinks it's hilarious.. I hate it because I love surprises. He get's so antsy about his presents that he snoops and if he can't find them he'll somehow guess by process of elimination. This year I got him a float tube for fly fishing and the new hugo cologne. Summer got him the new Daughtery CD. : )

It was a fun day. The day included getting up, I made him one of his favorite breakfasts, went to church, came home, took a much needed nap, woke up to Summers screaming because her headband fell in front of her eyes (I HATE it when that happens), going over to Scott's parents to go for dinner with the family, talked outside on the swings with everyone, came home, went swimming, put Summer's feet & legs in the pool for the first time, went inside because it started to rain, put Summer to bed, watched some Harry Potter, Summer didn't really go to sleep (she tricked us) so Scott had to go get her and try to get her to really fall asleep this time, and now i'm writing this blog. : )
I am so proud of Scott, he is such a hard worker. He got laid off at Key Bank & my dad hired him at Intertape Polymer. For those of you who don't know Scott too well.. Intertape is NOT the kind of work that Scott likes. He works horrible hours on a line at the plant working with shrink wrap. It's going to kill him if we don't find him a job soon. (He does all this while letting me sit at home.. not working.. taking care of munchkin). I'm just grateful that he has a job. Hopefully we can find something soon with better hours. He's too good to me and Summer. If he wasn't willing to work these horrible hours I wouldn't be at home doing what I'm doing now.. and I love what i'm doing now! (I LOVE YOU HUN!) Anyways, I am very grateful for him.

I love this picture

July 4th Weekend

A great weekend!.. Summers 1st holiday! We went to Cherry Hill on the 4th with Scotts family & then went to East Canyon Resort on the 5th. Swimming, camping out, fishing, 4 wheeling & smores!.. some of our favorite things.. no wonder we had such a great weekend. Now we'll see what's in store for this upcoming weekend.. we're going to VEGAS! (again) This will be the 3rd time we've been there this year. Here's some pictures of the 4th weekend:

Newborn pictures

Amy did Summer's newborn pictures last week. They are all so cute, i'm going to put my favorites on here. So here they are!

Pregnancy, labor and delivery

Everyone has been asking me how everything went at the hospital, so I decided to just write about it & you all can read it.

I went into one of my prenatal appointments on May 13th & my Dr. said that the baby was ready to come & asked if i wanted to be induced the next day.. I of course said yes! Prior to this appointment I had the best pregnancy. I hadn't had any contractions, no morning sickness & hardly any vomiting. Anyways, I went to work the next day because I wasn't supposed to be admitted to the hospital until 8 p.m. I was so excited the whole day! Around 5 p.m. the hospital called and told me that they were full and they would call me when there was an opening.. they didn't even know when the next opening would be! I cried the whole night. So Scott called around 9 p.m. and told them that we needed to know when we would be admitted. They told us to come in at 7 a.m. the next day.

So we woke up bright and early.. i hardly got any sleep! We checked to Ogden Regional at 7 a.m., they took me to the room (the room was huge! I stayed in the same room the whole time) and started me on the drops at 9 a.m. Around 11 a.m. my mom and sisters were in the room with me and Scott & I was starting to have my first contractions. I thought I was going to rip everyones head off if they didn't stop rubbing me. So my mom went out and told the nurse that I wanted the epidural.. NOW! They gave me my epidural at 11:30.. after that I was on cloud 9.. I couldn't feel a thing. I slept off and on until 4 p.m. My whole family was in the room with us when the nurse came in to check me at about 4. She said I was dialated to a 10 and kicked everyone but Scott out of the room. By 4:30 they had everything ready and my Dr. was on her way. By the time that the Dr. got there I pushed 3 times and Summer was born at 4:41 p.m. She was 8 lbs 7 oz. & 21 inches long. Before my Dr. got there I started coughing and the nurses told me that if I didn't stop the baby was going to pop right out. It was the easiest labor and delivery in the world.. especially for a first time. My Dr. told me that I shouldn't expect it to be this easy ever again.

Here's some pics of us at the hospital..

Our 1st family picture.
