About Me and My Loves

About Me and My Loves
Howdy Y'all and Welcome! I have been married to my studly hubby for almost 5 years now; who is an energetic, outgoing, handyman helicopter pilot. We recently made our first big move cross country from Utah to Texas with our now 20mo. old "Rae of Sunshine" Azure. We love experiencing anything and everything and holding nothing back. We love dreaming and creating things of all kinds together. I hope that this blog will help our families back home keep up with our busy life, and maybe inspire some along the way...from family to home, money to food, holidays, travel, photography and crafts. this... this is my life!.... Enjoy.

ITS A .........

Ok people so we know what our baby is!!! We went in yesterday to the Doc and as clear as daylight! Unfortunately none of you get to find out for a couple more weeks, because we haven't told our families yet. So once we announce it, we will let you know!! Other than that exciting tidbit, our baby is healthy and very active and VERY stubborn! While measuring the babies anatomy, at one point it was relaxing as if my uterus was a hammock on the beach. It was lying on its back with both hands behind its head with its legs sprawled out and ankles crossed, (my nephew sawyer sleeps like this every night so we thought that was ironic) It was so CUTE! Then once the doc started poking and prodding trying to get a frontal photo of the babies face, it rolled over on its stomach in the fetal position and covered its face with its hands! Its as camera shy as I am! So we were only able to get profile pics of the face. But it did cooperate very nicely for when the doc took a picture of its bum! So there was no mistaking! We are super excited for the rest of the journey and cant wait to meet our little one!
Pictures to come soon!

BOY or GIRL?

2 days people!... 2 DAYS!!! Til we find out what we are having! I'm so excited I think I just peed a little!

But we won't be telling anyone what we are having for a few more days. We are wanting to do something fun and special since we really didn't get the chance to tell them we were pregnant in a fun way.

But we will keep you all posted!!!!

What do You think we are having?!

Baby Bump @ 13 weeks


It's True!! We are having a Baby! And we couldn't be more excited! These are some (not that great) pictures of the bump at 13 weeks, ultrasound pics coming soon. If I could only get my scanner to work!
We are going in Oct. 6th for the unveiling of the this child's gender!! Don't care what it is, as long as its healthy (love how everyone says that but never really means it).
I am currently 18 1/2 weeks and a couple weeks ago in sacrament meeting I finally felt for the first time the difference between gas and the baby; and the baby is a Goer! Anytime its quiet or Im relaxing, or even at work on the computer that thing is kicking up a storm! Brett loves feeling it move around and we love watching for my stomach to Pop like Popcorn!
Such an amazing thing.
But more to come soon... the gender.... more belly photos.... lots...lots...more!

2yr Anniversary on the 19th!!!

I can't believe that its been 2 years already, but at the same time I can't remember my life without Brett.
So to count the miles we have gone this year in hopes that the years to come will keep getting better and better:

February 2009
We celebrated our 1st year anniversary, and my 22nd Birthday.
Brett had just received his private helicopter pilots licence the month before and started training for his instrument licence.
He also started working part time as the Marketing Director for Mountain Ridge Helicopters as well as working full time for Thermo Fischer.

March 2009
What a whirl wind this month was! We discovered that we were pregnant and the very night that I told Brett I landed myself in the ER with a freaking Kidney Stone (not recommended for anyone to experience). But after 32 hours in the Hospital bed that little (and when I say little I really mean a size of a rock, that was pure black!) sucker finally mad its way out.
I also started to work part time for Mackley Designer Portraiture as the Photo Editor/Graphic Designer

April 2009
Nothing too exciting happened in April I guess. I started doing some graphic design work for Mountain Ridge Helicopters.

May 2009
Started the month of with a miscarriage at 12 weeks. Not recommended for anyone either.
Brett then started to work full time for Mountain Ridge and quit Thermo Fischer.
We also pulled off a very successful open house for the Heli School. Brett worked very hard in planning it and it was awesome!!

June 2009
I "quit" working at little wonders and started working full time at Mackley.
I also started working part time for Mountain Ridge. I clean the offices and the bathrooms because face it...men are disgusting!! And they need someone to clean up after them.

July 2009
We went to Yellowstone with my sister Sevana and her family. It was great! We saw tons of Buffalo, a moose, and a mama and baby black bear!

August 2009
Brett and I moved from our basement 1bed 1bath apartment in Logan to a 4bed 3bath home in Smithfield on the golf course. We live on the main level and Brett's brother Ty lives on the bottom level. Its great!

September 2009
Brett turned 29 this month.
Brett also became a Commercial Helicopter Pilot!

October 2009
We went to Torrance, California for a Robinson Heli Training Course. We went down with some friends of ours, Jeremy also goes to Mountain Ridge. So while the boys were flying over the ocean. Me and Kinta shopped, and we shopped and we shopped!! They had a 3 level inside and outside huge mall. It was like the gateway, fashion place and southtowne malls combined!

November 2009
We went to California again this time with my Aunt and Uncle Alan and JoAnn their kids and grandkids and my sister and her kids. We stayed in a beach house and went to Disneyland!!! Brett's first time! It was great! We also were able to go and do sealings in the San Diego Temple.

December 2009
This month was filled with family and holiday parties... busy!

January 2010
We rang in the new year

February 2010
We will be celebrating our 2nd year of marriage as well as our 3rd year being together on the 19th. Then the week after that we will be celebrating my 23rd Birthday!

Our love has grown and deepened I look forward to many more years with my Brett! I love you B and can't imagine life without you! You are my best friend, and the only one I share my soul with!
