Hawaii

Last week my Dad took me and all my sisters to Hawaii.. we went to Oahu and stayed more on the North Shore at a place called Turtle Bay.. it was so much fun just spending time with all my sisters, laying on the beach, playing our daily games of beach volleyball, and lots of cards at night. It was so ridiculously pretty with perfect weather every day!

We did a little hike to this waterfall,my sisters were trying to get

under the waterfall, while i was just trying not to drown

The Laie temple.. I was so mad, it is closed for reconstruction, so

we weren't able to go to a session..

summer

Yes, I disappear from this thing for months! We've been at rodeos like usual, we just got back from going to rodeos in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Utah.. we were able to come home for a couple days and Jason has already left to go to a rodeo in Missouri. In between rodeos we had the chance to spend some time up at the ranch in Co, it was fun just getting to hang out, fish, canoe, and hunt.. I can't believe the summer is almost over! it has gone so fast.. Jason's Bday is tomorrow and since he is going to be gone we celebrated with his family a couple days early. He is going to be 26!

Here's some pictures from the last couple months.. i am the worst at remembering to take pictures but I'm getting a little better at it!!

Colorado

Presley

I had another ultrasound, this is the one where your supposed to find out the sex but I am way to impatient to wait that long, but they confirmed that yes, she is a girl.. Her name will be Presley.. when I was 16 I was a lifeguard and there was the cutest little girl that was there swimming everyday for tennis camp. She would come talk to me everyday, her name was Presley and i fell in love. Since I was 16 I wanted a little girl so I could name her this. When Jason and I were engaged I told him about this name and luckily he loved it as well.

When I went to my ultrasound last week, the technician thought she saw some things wrong with the heart. I went to the specialist the next day and thankfully they think everything is fine, I just have to go back in three more weeks when they are able to see things better. It was an interesting experience because for the 24 hours that I didn't know if it was ok, I was concerned but I wasn't freaking out. And I realized that I don't really care what condition she gets here in- broken heart, down syndrome, etc.. She will come exactly how she is supposed to..All I want is her.. She is the most loved baby in history.. so if these next 4 1/2 months could hurry up, that would be fantastic.

Summer is here and things have gotten crazy busy! Jason has been back and forth from Canada and will be up there for the next week.. we spent the last couple days in Reno going to the BFI and WGR( two of the biggest ropings of the year) Jason roped great but unfortunately we didn't have any luck.. We picked out our crib and we both love it! I can't find bedding that I love, so if anyone knows where to find cute girl bedding let me know..

Here's a picture of the crib but the one we got is black.

A Little....

Girl!!!!!

We went to one of these ultrasound places in Vegas and found out we are having a girl!! 16 weeks down, 24 more to go and I can't wait until I get to meet this perfect little one.

Yes, she still looks a little alien like, but beautiful nonetheless..

Georgia

Mother's Day weekend we went with Jason's whole family to the golf course in Georgia.. We had such a good time, the guys played golf all day and the girls hung out by the pool and relaxed. I'm so proud of myself, I actually brought my camera and took lots of pictures! Jason took me out to play golf a couple of times but I still suck, there's no hope for me..

My Mother...

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers.. you are the most beautiful and wonderful people on the face of this earth. I have been influenced by so many mothers; my friends mothers, my grandmothers, my wonderful mother-in-law, and of course my mom. If you know me at all you know my mom and how she is the most perfect and special person who has ever lived. The only reason I am scared to become a mom is because I will never be the mother that she was to me. I use the word perfect because that's what she is. I never once remember her raising her voice. She always put her daughters first, even if it meant her giving up sacrifices so that we had everything we ever wanted or needed. She has taught me that the only things that matter in this life are the gospel and your family. She instilled in me an undying love for the gospel, my Heavenly Father, and Savior. She has been there for me always, no matter what, and I know she always will. Even when she has hard to go through hard things, things that nobody deserves to go through she has kept her head up and has always had such a love and energy for life. I love her more than she will ever know and am so very grateful to have her as my mother.
