February

WOW can these months go any faster?! Time is just flying like CRAZY! February was such a fun month! Lots going on, I am pretty proud of myself for actually being good about taking lots of pictures! YAY! Well for starters Valentines was just amazing! I officially have the most amazing husband in the whole world, we both had to work all day but coming in our door and seeing this just made my day! He had the table all set (note the lit candles) dinner ready, and even flowers! It was so sweet and such a good memory for our "First" Valentines we celebrated together. To top off a already amazing Valentines he surprised me with tickets to go see the VOW. It was such a good movie, bless Colt's heart having to sit through a total chick flick! Boy I landed myself such a awesome husband, words just cannot express how much I appreciate everything he does for me! Love you Colt!! 

The table

My BEAUTIFUL flowers! 

I was trying to get the candles in this one.. They were so cute!

Later on in the month we threw a baby shower for Jess! It was such a blast, and boy did she have such amazing support! Thanks everyone who came, it meant the world! She made out like a bandit, at one point you couldn't even walk through the family room with all the people in chairs, couches, on the floor, and even standing it was a mad house!! Monica and Kensy thanks sooooo much for all your help, you were amazing! They sneaked out before I could get a picture with them and Jess! But anyways these pictures just do not do justice, our balloon wall was sooo much better but we had windows open to let in cool air and some of the balloons deflated.. 

One of the packed moments during the shower...

Two little peas in a pod, Love these girls!

I love this picture! This is Jess with Grandma Arda, and Wendy 

Opening presents! They were never ending for 2 hours! 

Prettiest Pregnant lady EVER, Just sayin!

Also this month we had a birthday! Colt turned 27!! WOW he is getting old, j/k! We celebrated his birthday in Logan, I wish I had gotten a picture but the night before we went out with some of Colt's good friends to dinner, he was so happy to see all of them! It is always a good time! Disreguard the cake, definately not my best creation but hey I tried! haha Next year it will be better I promise!! 

Most handsome birthday boy EVER! 

Kayson saw the cake and immediately climbed right up by Colt, he ate 2 whole pieces! Who knew little kids could eat sooo much??? Where does it go??? 

Blowing out the candles! I can't believe it has already been a year since we celebrated his birthday! Time seriously flies! Well thats all I got for the month of February! Have a GREAT rest of the week! 

JAZZ Time

So this last weekend we got the opportunity to hang out with some of Colt's good friends from St. George. We went to dinner, the Jazz game, and last of all Leatherbys creamery to top the night off with some ice cream! It was such a good time, and so much fun! It was good to see Colt's friends, they are just awesome!! I especially love seeing how happy it makes Colt to see his friend Zac, they are so funny together and had us all in tears at one point laughing at one of their "EPIC" Stories... Oh boys.. Haha It was so nice to hang out with people our age, seeing as how all the people around us, or in our ward are Older... Haha

 The Crew

 We LOVE the JAZZ!!!

It was so fun to hang out with all of them!!

So HAPPY!! 

 Gotta love Bromance...

2 Months in a Nutshell

WOW I am officially the WORST Blogger EVER! Ha I am also the WORST picture taker :( I have not been good at remembering my camera, of which I am promising myself that I will take it EVERYWHERE with me! I don't want to miss out on ANY pictures this next year!! I have to apologize right now because I just feel horrible, I forgot my camera on Christmas! Who forgets their camera on the biggest holiday of the year? ME. Haha anyways here is the last couple of months in a nutshell. Enjoy!  

 With being the newbies in a ward we sure got scouted out FAST to talk in Sacrament meeting. Luckily they chose the sunday after Thanksgiving so alot of people were gone with family :) At the time I wasn't too thrilled but when we got up to speak it wasn't too bad.. It actually turned out quite well. The pic. above is Colt and I getting ready to go to sacrament to give our talks! We were soo nervous!!

 So we were freakin lucky this thanksgiving. We got together with Colt's family in Springville on the actual day, but what happens when your husband comes home with a 21 pound turkey from work??? ANOTHER THANKSGIVING!! Neither of us had EVER cooked anything this big before, it was quite the experience!! Colt was sooo EXCITED! Naturally we couldn't eat JUST the turkey, so we made ourselves another thanksgiving dinner. It was hilarious, we had SOO much left over turkey!

 Colt takin the beast out of the oven. He was stoked to dig in!

 MMMMM....

 Thumbs up!! :)

 The finished product :) For the record, I did offer to make Colt some veggies to go with the glorious meal, but he refused. I think he was just ready to eat the turkey we smelled cookin for a billion hours!

 YAY! Our first HUGE holiday meal that we made all by ourselves!

 Our first Christmas tree! Sadly I failed once again and didn't even get any pictures of it all decorated cute :( this is all I got!

 

 After Thanksgiving we got to meet up with the Pollard clan, and Christensens at temple square. The Christensens treated us all do dinner on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building. It was awesome! After dinner we walked around temple square to see the lights. Kayson was so funny and soo excited to see so many bright lights. We pushed dad in a wheel chair all bundled up in blankets, he lasted in the cold longer than I thought! Toughest man I know, love you dad! After temple square we went up to the Christensen's and played games, ate, and visited all night. It was a great end to a already amazing day :) Thanks again Ralph and Teresa!!

 The girls trying to get a "Girl" picture but Kayson just couldn't let that happen! :)

 For Christmas we got to escape the bitter cold and go down to good ol' St. George to Colt's family. It was seriously the best christmas EVER! It was so nice to just relax, eat, read a book, and I even had a personal tour guide to show me around the city! :) Every time we go there I just don't want to leave, I really love it! I hope we end up down there some day, it is just such a fun town with so much to do! These were the only two pictures we got while we were there, I am so bummed I did't get more! Apparently you can't go to Dixie as a tourist and NOT climb Dixie rock, So we did :) It is so beautiful there, and the weather was AWESOME! We didn't even need coats!

 My true blue Dixie boy :)

 For New Years we decided to make a trip to Loganland :) it was way good to see my favorite people, especially my Kayser! Heck this kid even got to light off the fireworks- in the HOUSE. haha What kid gets to do that?? He was sooo EXCITED!

 What a fun mom :) it was way too cold outside to light these so she just opted for the kitchen. HA

I just love these guys, who wouldn't love faces like this?!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was such a good time!! We got to spend it with the Cox side of the family in Springville, and Colt's family drove up from Saint George to celebrate it with us! It was so much fun! I truly am the most blessed girl in the world, I married into such a amazing family! Everyone always makes me feel so welcome and at ease! We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend thanksgiving with the people we love! We ate ALOT of yummy yummy food, and then Steve (Colt's uncle) went and saddled up a few horses. I didn't ride, but thats okay cause it was just so fun to watch everyone else running around on them! They were all pro's of course, it was so much fun to watch! After horse riding we played a giant game of bingo with everyone who was there.. This was a blast! Everyone got into it, and won many fun little presents! Such a fun way to all be together for the holiday, I am already looking forward to next year!!

The Gang

Colt and I by the pasture where they were riding, such a GORGEOUS day!!

My Cowboy

Best. Husband. EVER.

I am a HUGE fan of twilight, I guess you could call me a twihard, or even just a NERD haha but I don't care I love it! The books are so good, even tho the movies can be kind of cheesy, those of us that have read the books appreciate those cheesy moments that do happen on screen. As you all know Breaking Dawn came out last weekend.. It was literally like Christmas for me! Normally I go with girl friends, and Jess but since I am not in Logan I had no one else to go with :( so Colt (being such a good husband) said he would go with me! It seriously made my day! Haha he just wanted me to be happy and knew it was killing me to wait to go see it... When he said he would go with me I ran to the theatre and got some tickets.. :) 6 hours later we were watching Breaking Dawn!! It was such a treat! I am so lucky to have a husband that will put aside his pride and come watch twilight just to make me happy :) I love you Colt, thanks for being so amazing! 

 

Before the movie.. SOO exciting! haha 

Trip to Logan Land :)

I was sooo excited when I was able to go to Logan! I got to spend some much needed time with my best friend Samantha, my MONKEY, and Jess!  It was such a good trip! The purpose of me even going to Logan was so I could meet with my school advisor and figure out what I needed to do next semester. Well the one day I decided to meet with her she was so busy, and out of the office all day long. When she was there, it was such a huge line I would have never gotten in before she closed. I was pretty frustrated, but it was okay cause I just got to spend more time with Jess and Kayser. J Haha While being in Logan I got to go with Jess to her Ultrasound, cause Bry couldnt get away from work. I was so excited and happy she wanted me to go because we found out the sex of the baby! It was so exciting! Technology these days is truly amazing! When we would ask Kayson if it was a boy or girl, he was just so insistant on it being a girl. If you asked him "what will you name it if it is a boy Kays?" He would say "ITS A GIRL BUGZ!!!" all put out. He would walk around the house talking about "His Sisters".. Oh man Jess and Bry it looks like you have at least another one up there :), or maybe a set of twins!! That would be just great! HAHA It was hilarous to hear what Kayson wanted to name the baby, Chicken Boo Boo Rain Rain Sun. He is not going to let up on this name, good luck Bry and Jess! To sum it up it was the best trip ever,  

While I was at Jess’s house they were pulling out all of their Christmas J Kayson was so excited and saw this hat, he immediately put in on a was running around.. I had to get a picture of him

He wanted to do a silly face one J

Waiting to see BABY! SOO EXCITED, can you tell??

BEAUTIFUL Momma J Anxiously waiting..

CRAZY the images they can pull from a Ultrasound now..

Here is the Back.. It is crazy how you can see every rib, and the spine..Baby Looks like a ALIEN!

And.. IT IS A GIRL!!!! WAHOO! :)

Sooo excited about finding out its a girl!!! Best. Day. EVER. Love you Jess!!

I couldn't do a post without putting a picture up with my dear Sam!! I sure do miss this girl! Love you chicka!

Life Update :)

WOW It has sure been a crazy last couple of weeks!!! I started my new job last monday and trained all week long, and this week I started on the teller line, I never knew they had to know and do so many things for just one transaction. It is going to be such a good job, we are super excited! I am thrilled I no longer have to work Sundays, now I can go to church and spend time with my husband all day long! :) I am the luckiest girl alive, Colt and I have now been married for a month and two days! Time has FLOWN by! It feels like we were in the temple getting sealed just yesterday. I came home from work on monday after working a long 9 1/2 hours of on the job training, I was so exhausted! When I came in the door I saw a rose ( in a water bottle, Colt's makeshift vase :) ) With a note that said: "Happy 1 month anniversary Jen!! Love ya!! -your husband" AWE man it melted my heart, sweetest thing ever! I am so grateful to have such a awesome husband, he is so good to me and is constantly building me up! I ask myself everyday how did I get so lucky to marry a guy like Colton? He is my best friend and I cannot wait to live the rest of my life with him! We decided we seriously needed to start working out (not working for two weeks I was making goodies ALOT) haha Colt is always saying he doesn't want to be the typical newlywed couple who gains a billion pounds, SOO we signed up for planet fitness for now because it is cheap :) Colt has been going faithfully, but I cannot say the same! Haha hopefully we can both get into the habit especially before the holidays really start...
