Carley and Chad's Kids

This is my other cute niece and adorable nephews.  On my side of the family none of my brothers have kids but when I married Josh I became an aunt.  I love it!  It is so much fun having little kids at family things to play with.

Braden is 8 and is going to be getting baptized this Christmas break.  He is very tender hearted and sweet.  One time while we were at Josh's parents I came down for breakfast and didn't have any makeup on.  Braden turned to his mom and asked her: "why does aunt Jenna look funny?"  I think he was truly scared that something had happened to me.  He is a sweetheart.

Kade is so fun and playful.  He is 6 years old and just started Kindergarden.  Carley just told us that he had a parent teacher conference and she was rehearsing with him and when she asked him what his name was he couldn't remember.  Then when he got to the conference he forgot his name again.  Such a cute kid!

Shea is 2 and is too cute and full of personality!  She is a perfect mix of a girlie girl and a tom boy!  It is amazing she will just sit there for half and hour while I curl her hair and paint her nails- and she likes it.  Also, she just acquired a new nickname: Princess Potty-mouth.  She was titled that because she loves saying things like butt crack and poo-poo-ria with her brothers.

SODA aka: Liquid Satan

I have a new goal to not drink soda.  I didn't drink soda for five years and I didn't miss it at all.  The first time I drank it after the long drought was during a road trip I got a coke to stay awake and I hated it!  I slowly started drinking soda again and honestly at first I had to make myself like it again.  Now unfortunately I really like the stuff.  However, I know it is terrible for you and so unnecessary.  My problem too is that I don't want to drink diet soda because of the chemicals so I drink regular soda which is full of sugar and calories.  So basically I want to and need to quit.  The picture I posted has some facts on the negative effects of soda.  If I know why behind why I shouldn't be doing something it really helps me not want to do it!

My Little Niece CHLOE!

This little girl is the cutest, sweetest thing ever!  She belongs to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Danny and Collin.  It has been so fun to see her grow and develop this past year.  From finding out Collin was pregnant, to being there for Chloe's baby blessing when she was an infant, to seeing her crawling around right before her first birthday- it has all been so wonderful!  It is amazing how much you can love your family members!  Also, it has been so fun seeing Danny and Collin become parents.  They are some of the best parents I have ever seen- they love that little girl so much.  It was so cute, right after they had Chloe Danny was trying to convince Josh and me that we need to have a kid ASAP because how wonderful parenthood is.  I can't wait to see this little girl grow up- it's amazing to think I will know her my whole life!

20 weeks!

I am finally starting to poke out!  I have been so anxious to get a "belly."  People aren't asking me when I'm due yet, but at least I am on my way.  Also, I have started to feel the baby move.  To me it is the best part of pregnancy!  It makes it seem so much more real!  Also, now Josh can feel the baby kick too!  We still haven't come up with a name yet so we just call it "baby."  Too, if we do come up with a name I don't know if I want to tell everyone.  I don't want to have to deal with people saying they don't like it or not giving the reaction I am hoping for.  Also, I think it would be horrible if we decided to give him a family name and then when he was born we realized that he wasn't supposed to be named that.  I don't think the honorary member we were naming the baby after would appreciate that.  So we will see, were still undecided for now though.  

Halloween!

Can you guess what we are?  Josh is Johnny Lingo and I am his eight cow wife!  Josh of course came up with the idea.  At first when he told me I thought I was going to have to dress up as a cow and I was not for that.  In the end I actually ended up really liking it- it was fun and easy!  Halloween was on a Monday this year and we did absolutely nothing; however, we had a great Halloween weekend.  On Saturday was Bronwyn's (my sister-in-law) baby shower/Halloween party.  It was super fun!  Great decorations, food, and games.  It was a great Halloween!  I can't wait till next Halloween and we have our little baby!  I already bought his first Halloween costume.  He is going to be a little chicken!  I think the best part will be that I finally have an excuse to go trick-or-treating again!  

HorseBack Riding

Josh had a work party the other weekend.  It was up in Park City at the head doctor's house.  We got to his house and it was amazing!  It was at the top of a hill and in the middle of the mountains.  We first went on a 4 mile hike that about killed me.  The fifty year old doctor was in better shape than I was!  I was in the very back the whole time panting (at least I had the pregnancy excuse).  Then we had a great meal and went horse back riding!  It was so fun being on a horse again.  The best part was definitely the trail.  It was in the middle of Fall so all the leaves were bright yellow, green, orange, and red.  It was the most fun I had had in a long time.  I had forgotten how fun it was to ride horses.  Overall it was a great work party!

My Cousin's Blog

My cousin Kylee was the one who helped me start my blog so I figured I would pay a tribute to her blog.  Her blog is about her life and her passion- photography.  She is quite the artist.  It is amazing what you can do with a decent camera and some talent.  I feel like a lot of people try to do photography but there are so people that are definitely better than others.  My cousin, Kylee definitely has a knack for it.  That is one talent I would love to have, especially with our baby on the way.  I love looking at newborn and baby pictures, it is such an important time to capture.  So if you like to look at photography blogs you should definitely check her blog out!  Some other good photography blogs I like to follow are: http://chealambphotography.blogspot.com, http://madelynwphoto.blogspot.com/2011/11/elles-newborn.html, http://www.katiehagen.blogspot.com/.   Chea Lamb was the one who took our engagement and wedding photos.
