The Borchert Family

First Haircut, Lake Powell

2011-10-27T16:19:00.000-07:00

Today I became an RD (Registered Dietitian)! I passed the test. Such a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I cant believe that all of my schooling, since I was in preschool, came down to this test. I am just glad that it is over with and I am done with school for forever. Well until Camrik gets in school at least.

Camrik had his first haircut. I did not want to cut it, but Jordan said that his hair was way too long. So I put him is his "pink" bumbo (because we are borrowing it from a friend, thanks Linzi) and gave him a new haircut. He didn't mind it at all.
Such a good boy!
We gave him the cut right before church and here is his new cut with in his cute church outfit. He looks so old, not like a baby at all. Like a little man.
He is too precious.

Every year, the company Jordan works for, Platinum, throws a year end party. It is usually a nice dinner at a nice place and you get prizes and things. Well this year it was sooo much better. They took us all to Lake Powell. They rented a camp ground and provided all the food, boats, boating things, and floating things to jump on. They did such a good job and it was a lot of fun. I had food poisoning though the day we got there so for the whole weekend I was puking and other not so great things. That was not fun. Especially camping, but I felt good enough during the day that we went boating and took a wave runner out.

We took Camrik on the boat and he loved it! I am not exaggerating. He was smiling the whole time and I think he liked the life jacket and how it snuggled him tight. He is such a good baby.

Jordan and some of the guys went cliff jumping. This was before they found out it is illegal.

Me and my sweet baby. He looks so cute in this picture and look at the landscape. Gorgeous.

Jordan and Camrik all warm in the tent one morning. Father like son.

Camrik always sleeps in his crib from 7:00pm till 7:00am. He sleeps all through the night and has been doing this since he was 3 1/2 months. In the mornings after 7 if we still want to sleep he will fall back to sleep in bed with us once he has eaten. This is what he looks like when he does. He loved Camping.

Camrik is 5 months old now. He is thinking about crawling and tries to but cant quite figure it out yet. I gave his a taste of rice cereal one day and he loved it. He kept opening his mouth for more. It was adorable. I cant get enough of my baby and he is growing way to fast.

Baby Blessing and New Job!

2011-10-12T16:53:00.000-07:00

Well a lot has been happening since we have been back. We really are still trying to settle in and get back to the swing of things. I finished my internship and take the RD exam on the 27th of this month. I have a lot of studying to do. I need to pass this test because I got a great job as a part time Dietitian. It is at Provo Canyon Behavioral Hospital. I love it and it is a great job. I get great pay plus full benefits at part time. This is when going to school finally pays off. It is great because I only work on the days Jordan can watch Camrik. Jordan and Camrik have so much fun together too.

Jordan and I went to the world record dodge ball game at Thanksgiving Point. Jordan said it was a lot of fun and it looked crazy. Camrik and I watched he was all bundled up.

In most of Camrik's pictures he has a scratch on his face. No matter how short I cut his nails he still manages to scratch himself.

Jordan blessed Camrik a couple of weeks ago. He gave an amazing blessing and Camrik was such a good boy. He looked so cute in his little outfit. He is sooo strong too. He can stand up on his own for a little and this was at 3 months old. Crazy! I love my boys.

Camrik is 4 months old now and I cant believe all the things he can do. He is sooo close to rolling from his back to his belly. He rolls from his belly all the time because he hates it. He Tries to sit up and it is funny because he looks like he is doing sit ups. He is such a great baby and I cant even imagine my life without him.

2 Month Photo shoot

2011-08-31T22:05:00.000-07:00

Camrik is actually 3 months old now, but here are pictures from his 2 month photo shoot. We went to this antique store and got some cute pics.
He looks like a baby doll in the picture above. I love it.

We are back in Utah and loving it. I always miss my house so much. I have three weeks left in my internship and then I am done with school. I am so excited to take the RD exam and finally be a Registered Dietitian. I am going to post pics with Jordan and I in them soon. I just have so much more fun blogging about Camrik.

Smile!

2011-07-29T13:21:00.001-07:00

Camrik is starting to smile! He had his first smile a couple of weeks ago, but now Jordan and I can get him to smile more often. Sometimes when I try to get him to smile he looks at me like I am crazy! He is getting so big and his hair is still growing. Jordan is so scared that it is going to fall out. He is such a sweet boy! These are some photos I took with him today.

I love the picture below. So alert!

Camrik's hair dries perfectly! I just towel dry it and it sticks straight up with a little curl.

I love it. (i want to put some hair gel in it sometime...)

We are so excited to come home!

Time is flying by

2011-07-22T14:44:00.000-07:00

Camrik is now 7 weeks old and time is flying by so fast; he now weighs a little over 11 pounds. We will be back in Utah in 5 weeks. We are so excited to come home.
Camrik at 4 weeks old. I took this pic becuase it was going to be one of the last times he could wear this outfit.

This is Camrik at 6 weeks! His hair is getting so long and I love it. I took him to the doctor yesterday because he has had such a bad diaper rash that wont go away. Come to find out Camrik is lactose intolerant. This means that I cant have any milk products! This eliminates most of my diet. I love cheese, milk, and yogurt. It has only been one day and I am dying. I guess the acid in his stools are eating away at his little bum. I had to buy some cream for his bum to bind the acid that cost $55. He also has reflux so he is taking medication for that. He is such a tuff little boy because despite all of this he never cries about it. I hope he stops having problems now that I know what to do do help him. For the 4th of July I made t-shirts for Jordan and I with all the wives out here. It was fun decorating them. I was just glad that Jordan was a good sport and actually wore it. It sure did make for a cute picture. (I love that Camrik looks like he is pulling his hat off when he really didn't even know it was on his head)

Camrik was so adorable in his 4th of July outfit.

We went to a baseball game with the office and there were fireworks after. It was the perfect thing for the 4th of July. It was so hot at the game but Camrik found a nice position to keep himself cool.

We each got a baseball hat with our tickets. Jordan is wearing it, but his sun glasses are covering the emblem.

My little boy!

2011-07-09T18:23:00.000-07:00

So I thought I would blog a lot more after the baby was borne but this has shown to not be true. Here are a couple of photos from Camrik's photo shoot. I would load more but they are taking forever. One of the wives out here has a nice camera and said she would take pictures for me. She has never done it before, but she did an amazing job! Thanks Brooke!!!

I have lots of cute photos to blog and things we have done. Gosh, hopefully I will get in a couple of good posts next week.

Camrik Charles Borchert is here!

2011-06-10T17:40:00.000-07:00

On Friday June 3rd I went in to be induced. It was a hard decision, but Jordan and I finally felt good about being induced after praying and much consideration. This is me with my final pregnant belly. Right before I was induced Jordan and I went and saw the new X-men movie and got some dinner since I knew I wouldn't be eating for a while.

I got admitted around 9:00 pm and had a medicine called cervadil (?) placed on my cervix. It is supposed to stay on your cervix for 12 hours to soften the cervix. Below is me about an hour after is was put in. Anyways, about 4 hours later I was having tons of contractions and was in full labor. They took the medicine out and I was off! I got my epidural about 2 hours later because the contractions were hurting so bad. This is the part I was most scared for, but it didn't hurt at all. I was so relieved.

12 hours later I have birth to my beautiful baby boy Camrik at 6:50 pm. He was 7 pound 15 ounces, 19 1/2 inches long. It was actually scary for a bit, he was having a hard time coming out and when he did he have the cord wrapped around his neck twice and his body once. I was so glad that everything was okay.

Me with Camrik right after he was born. I was so happy and was all emotional and crying. It was an amazing experience.

My sweet baby!
I was so glad that Jordan was there. He was so supportive and I could not of done it without him. He actually got to pull the baby out and cut the cord. He said it was amazing. He is such a good dad.

I love my baby Camrik!!!!Jordan picked out Camrik's going home outfit. This is him dressing him for the first time.

It was so exciting to put him in his car seat and take him home. He has been such a sweetheart and a good baby. More posts of him yet to come.

Come on out!!!

2011-05-30T14:43:00.000-07:00

So I am now 39 weeks pregnant and ready for this baby to come out. I really just want to meet him and hate the anticipation. I thought for sure I would not be anxious and yet here I am so excited for him to be here. My doctor last week said he would induce me this Friday if he has not come yet. I really don't feel comfortable with the whole induction thing? Has anyone done it and liked it? I think I am going to push off the induction till next Friday when I will be 4 days over due. I hope he comes before then! Hopefully my next post will be of my cute little baby.

Platinum Cruise!

2011-05-17T08:46:00.000-07:00

Well, Jordan and I got to go on our annual Platinum Cruise. This year we were in the western Caribbean. We went to Grand Caymen and Cozumel, Mexico. We had a lot of fun. Below is our ship the Inspiration.

Here is Jordan getting ready to snorkel at Grand Caymen. He said it was really cool. I was too much of a whimp to go out that day. I was scared I would topple over and float with my belly.

Here I am with 7 mile beach behind me. It was such beautiful weather.

Jordan and I at formal night.

I always think it is fun to dress up and have a nice dinner.

Jordan got to have a bunch of birds eat and sit on him. He said that the blue parrot was scary because he kept eating really close to his ear and he thought it was going to bite him.

This is us snorkeling in Cozumel. It was actually a lot of fun and they gave me some noodles to swim with so I wouldn't have to worry about floating.

A picture of me in my pregnant swimming suit at 6 months pregnant.

Jordan went boogy boarding at Cozumel with a bunch of guys.

Here are the guys. They never got very far out. The waves were really strong and they were all so tired after.

The girls I was with that day.

The ice cream was the best! I would get at least 2 every day. Mmmm. I want some right now.

Jordan participated in a schuffle board competition with Brady. They almost won. They got 3rd. They had a lot of fun though.

We had a lot of fun, but more importantly little Camrik is almost here. He is getting so big and I will post a picture of my full term belly as soon as I take a pic.

baby's room, crafts and baby belly

2011-02-24T20:14:00.001-08:00

So I have been sewing, painting, and modge podging (?) for the past little while to keep me occupied at night. Below are the results of my craziness!

Jordan and I working on painting Camrik's room.

The end result! So I am done with his room. Well, so I say. I still have to get a night stand and I am working on recovering a lamp to match the room, but other then that the room is done.

So I also decided to make my own diaper bag and wipe case. I kept looking for cute ones, but everything I liked was around $80 so I decided to make my own (besides, it is a lot more fun that way).

I had fun learning how to make flowers and look up tutorials on how to do everything. I am always so surprised by how many blogs there are that tell you how to do crafts.
Okay, so now for my belly. This picture is me at 24 weeks (6 months pregnant). The picture isnt the best and it is really awkward taking a picture of yourself sideways. I can believe how big I am getting!

Now for some more crafts. A Taggie blankie! Its a really small blanket, but I hear babies love to play with them.

A clock for his room. (I got this idea from Britt G. Thanks Britt I had so much fun making it!)

Summer Sales

2011-02-11T06:52:00.001-08:00

Jordan and I found out where he will be selling this summer. It is Oklahoma city!

It should be a good summer. The only stress is that I am having my baby beginning of June and I will be here and Jordan will be in Oklahoma. My doctor said he would induce me early, so Jordan can book a flight home to be here. It would be horrible if he wasnt. The reason I cant go out with him is becuase my internship doesnt end until June 3. There is no way I can travel to Okalhoma, find a doctor, and have my baby in a week after my internship. After I have the baby my mom is going to drive out there with me as soon as I feel up to it. I hope I have a speedy recovery.

Sewing and waiting!

2011-01-28T17:23:00.000-08:00

As soon as I found out I was having a boy I couldn't wait to get started on his room. I went and picked out my fabric at the cutest fabric store in South Jordan. If you haven't been there you need to go. It is called Material Girls. Anyways, I have been sewing any chance I can get and here are the results so far.

This is the crib bedding I sewed. (I didn't make the quilt!)

I also painted an old dresser that used to be Jordan's. It was the color of the brown trim on the drawers. It was fun turning it into something for Camrik.

This is the curtain.

I also made some cut things to hang on Camrik's wall. I am obsessed with scrap booking. As soon as Jordan and I chose a name I started making these.

I still have some things to do. I cant decide if I want to paint or not. I am also recovering a glider. I got it on ksl for $10 and I am trying to make it work. So I am (obviously) really excited for the baby to arrive and hope I have enough things to do for his room or else I am going to get really anxious.

Its a boy

2011-01-26T19:57:00.000-08:00

Thats right! I am pregnant. Right now i am 21 weeks along. So I am halfway done. I am so excited to meet the little guy. Jordan and I are so excited and I have been busy at work sewing the baby bedding and other things for his room. We do have a name and it is Camrik. Jordan came up with it in his sleep one night. He woke up and told me the name and we decided it was a keeper. I got sick of blogging about just Jordan and I so hopefully the baby will encourage me to do better. I am due June 7 (i think, they just changed my date).

Ummm... whats a blog?

2010-10-14T16:49:00.000-07:00

So I havent wrote on here for a long time. I have a few free seconds and decided to do a quick update. Jordan and I are back from DC this summer and still loving the new house. I have started my Dietetic Internship and Jordan is back in school. I have been so busy with the internship. I just finished my first clinical session at American Fork Hospital and loved it. I cant wait for it to be over though and I still have till June 2 till it is.

This is us at the Brad Paisley concert. We have been so excited to be back and hang out with all our wonderful friends. I really missed them all. Well I am going to try and update more.

Random Updates

2010-05-14T15:39:00.000-07:00

Jordan and I have been working on our yard for the past two months to get it done. We first put up our fence. It was fun and we had great neighbors come over and help. We then did our sprinklers, top soil, planters, plants, and sod. It was sooooo much work, but very rewarding when it was all done. I never took a picture of the finished product, but i will and will post it.

I also graduated from BYU in Dietetics. It was great to be done with school and I actually liked the graduation better then my high school graduation. This is me and my little sisters.

My parents and I. They did so much for me and it was so fun for all my family to be at my graduation.

Recieving my fake diploma.

Jordan with me at my graduation reception.

My grandparents.
Jordan and I are now out in D.C. It is really nice here. The apartments we are in are really nice. I feel like I am in hotel. They even take the garbage out for me. Love it!!! Every Sunday after church we have decided to do something free in D.C. This past week we went to The American History Museum. We were there for 3 hours and still didnt get to see half of the museaum.

Here I am with some of the guys from the office we went with. I am excited for this summer and look forward to all that I get to do in DC. If anyone has done something really cool in DC let me know so I can do it too.

Bahamas Cruise

2010-03-08T16:30:00.000-08:00

Well... all I can say is I love cruises! I already want to go on another one. It was mine and Jordan's first cruise. We had so much fun!

This is our boat the Carnival Destiny!
Our first stop was Grand Turk! It was really pretty!
Jordan and I enjoying a virgin Pina Colada.

This is who we sat with at dinner for most of the cruise. This was our formal night. It was fun to dress up!

One of our stops at Half Moon Cay was cancelled because of bad weather and 6-8 foot waves so we didn't get to go there. We wanted to go snorkeling, but oh well. Another time.

The next place we went was Nassau in the Bahamas. We went to Atlantis all day. It has been my dream ever since I saw Holiday in the Sun, with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I was little, don't worry. I have to say it exceeded my expectations. I loved it!

Here is a cool glass sculpture they had in the hotel. They had a lot of them!

This is just one of the amazing views at the Resort. Ahh, I want to go back!

Here we are under the bridge.

This is in front of one of the slides that drops you into a pool with shark's swimming around you.

This is us at the aquariums at Atlantis. They were really cool! We had fun taking pictures with all the fish!

Jordan really does look like this fish!

The fish were posing for me!

I love the landscape here!

We were in a tube waiting for this saw shark thing to swim over us because Jordan wanted a picture, but it is cool.

Us in the King of Atlantis chair. we just had to take the picture.

All in all, we loved the trip. I am sad to be back at school, but only 5 more weeks left and then I graduate!!!!!

"What Jordan says!"

2010-03-03T21:48:00.000-08:00

I hacked into Brittanys Blog and I dont feel bad about it because it is titled "Jordan & Brittany's Blog". Brittany would never approve of these pictures on her blog so I posted them behind her back. I thought these were the coolest ones we took on our trip to Atlantis resort.

Jordan

Thea's Birthday!

2010-02-20T10:11:00.001-08:00

It was Thea's first birthday a couple days ago and I just had to celebrate!

We got her a bone and a new toy. She ate her bone in about 45 min. She loved it. We are paying for it now though. She is so stinky!!! She seriously can fill up a whole room with her stinks.
She didnt really like the hat but I made it so I wanted her to wear it. She is so cute. I love her!!!

Moving to.....

2010-02-08T10:32:00.000-08:00

Every summer Jordan and I move somewhere for 4 months for him to sell security systems. So far we have been to Richmond, VA and San Antonio, TX. Both places have been so much fun. We just found out where we are going this summer and it is Washington D.C. I am so excited to be moving there and see all the sites. I am sad to move when we just moved into our house, but it will still be here when we get back.

Just an Update!

2010-02-02T09:58:00.001-08:00

I have great news.... I got an internship at BYU! To become a registered dietitian, RD, I have to complete a BS in Dietetics, complete a internship, and then take the RD exam. I was really nervous about not getting an internship, but I have one and am one step closer to become and RD.

Jordan and I are loving our house. Now that we are in it though I feel like there is still so much I want to do with it. It so fun though, Jordan and I are loving living alone.

Our New House

2010-01-09T14:03:00.000-08:00

Jordan and I are finally all settled into our house. We just got Internet two days ago so I couldn't post any pictures of our house till now. Below are the pictures and there is a lot because I could never find the right angle to show the whole room, so there are multiple pictures of each room just at different angle.

Here is the front of our house. It is at night so you cant see the colors too well, but you can get the picture. We moved to Lehi right behind Cabellas. The area is called Traverse Mountain. We love the area and there are a lot of nice parks for our dog. The ward is really nice as well.

This is our office room.

Here is out Kitchen!

This is our front room/ living room.

I love having a fire place and so does our dog Thea. She just lays by it all day! She is so cute!

Our bedroom.

Our master bathroom. I love the double vanity/ two sinks! It is so nice to not have to share anymore.

Well this is our house. We love living on our own, but hate the bills that come with it as well. Overall though we are so happy and love taking this next step in our lives.

Jordan and I are both in school still. I graduate this semester and I am so excited. I then am applying for an internship. Jordan is pushing through school and is working hard at his job.

Thea, our puppy, well she is only 10 months but is huge, is loving the new house. She is such a good dog. We leave her just roaming the house while we are at school and she protects it for us and is such a good girl. Here are some pics of her on Christmas. She loved opening her presents.

Life Update

2009-12-11T08:11:00.000-08:00

Haven't posted in a long time because this semester of school has been so time consuming. I only have one semester left though so that it exciting!

Jordan and I are in the process of buying a house and all I have to say is "DON'T DO IT"!!!!! I have never been more stressed out in my entire life. Nothing goes right the first time around. We were supposed to close 2 weeks ago, and yet we are still waiting.

Well, I hope I move in soon so I can post some pictures of the house.

Bowling!!!

2009-08-10T12:52:00.000-07:00

I haven't been bowling for such a long time! It was fun to go bowling with the whole office.

Ginger and I with a pink bowling ball. Ginger is actually really good and bowling!

Here are all the guys that went!!

Tyler, our Regional Manager, told the guys that anyone who beat his score in bowling he would give $20!!! Well, that ended up being everyone but me, and two other guys. Even Ginger got $20!!!!

The guys had a lot of fun beating Tyler. He is such a good sport!!!

Jordan's Pizza!

2009-08-03T13:27:00.001-07:00

I made pizza for Jordan the other night and he said that he could make a better one then me. So, yeasterday Jordan made me a pizza. We got all the stuff to make it the night before and he was so excited. He was so proud of his pizza he wanted me to take a picture of it. So I did!

It actually was a really good pizza and we had fun making it together. I love sundays for that reason. Just being able to hang out with my husband all day!!!

A Rainy Day!

2009-08-03T13:22:00.001-07:00

Saturday there was a big storm. It was raining hard and a lot. I was working at the office so I had Thea outside back at my apartment. When I came home she was huddled up against the door and I could tell she was cold. I felt so bad so I put one of my shirts on her. She look so cute that I just had to take a picture. I love her so much!

Office Contest = Sick Stomach

2009-08-03T12:58:00.000-07:00

On Friday last week Jason held a office relay swimming challenge. The group that won added points to their car group in that chances of winning a flat screen TV. So the boys were pretty excited. Well, that was until they found out what they had to do before they swam.

One person had to do 20 sit ups, push ups, and jumping jacks then drink a cup of pickle juice. (Jordan did this one)

Another person from each group had to eat 2 raw hot dogs, bologna, and chug a can of root beer. Another person had to finish shots of mustard, mayo, and hot sauce. Another person had to eat a banana and onion. And then another person had to eat a huge pickle and chug a can of root beer.

Needless to say, almost everyone was sick. The boys who drank the pickle juice, my husband, were the sickest. They were throwing up for a while. Jordan didn't feel well the rest of the day.

My brother about to throw up.

Another guy who drank pickle juice.

I would like to say that the wives had fun watching, but I think the boys were all pretty sick.

Thea is a little over 5 months now and she is so much fun. She is not in the puppy biting on everything stage anymore, but she still is full of energy. She loves to be outside, play fetch with Jordan, and loves to get treats by doing the commands Jordan and I tell her to do. More than anything Thea loves to cuddle and not just laying by you but loves to lay with her face right by yours and is so cute!!!

We just lover her so much and cant imagine our lives without her!

Artichoke Chicken!!!

2009-07-30T11:32:00.000-07:00

Since Jordan has been selling amazing this week I decided to make him a nice dinner. I like living in a model apartment because it comes with cool decorations, so I had this nice flower thing to put on the table. This is my table set up. Oh and I got him a funny card too!!!

Jordan and I loved this meal. We both said that it is the BEST meal we have ever had. That is saying a lot, but everything so all so amazing!!!!

1) Main Course: Artichoke Chicken: It was so yummy. It was way better than any chicken I have ever had. It had artichoke hearts, sauteed mushrooms, and an amazing cheese white sauce.

2) Side Dish: Potatoes: I actually kind of made up the potatoes from a bunch of ideas but they were so good. I just cut up red potatoes so they were bit size and then used a garlic and herb dressing packet and oil to coat them. Then I cooked them and put Parmesan cheese on them at the end to melt over them. They were so good!

3) Side Dish: Asparagus: Nothing fancy with these, but asparagus is always so good. I just sauteed them with some butter salt and pepper.

Jordan loved the meal and we had a great night. If anyone wants the recipe let me know and I will post it, but if not I don't want to type it up for nothing. It was so good though.

(I am not bragging about my cooking skills because I am not an excellent cook, it was the recipes that were so good so I am complementing them)

I just Love my Husband!!!

2009-07-25T18:56:00.000-07:00

There really is no one in the world I love more than my husband! I was just looking through some old pictures and came across this beauty. Jordan is honestly such a fun guy and he is always trying to make me calm down and just have fun! He is so perfect for me and I just want to let him know how much I love him. I waited so long to be married to him and now that I am I absolutely love it. Sorry this is really mushy, but I am just so happy to be with someone who is so perfect for me.

Baby and Bridal Shower!

2009-07-25T14:49:00.000-07:00

So Casey's baby is due in a week and she was supposed to have a baby shower out here a while ago but it never happened because the office has been moving around so much, so we decided to finally throw her a shower. While we were at it Kiyoko is getting married in November so we decided to throw her a shower as well. So We went out to lunch at Logans. We had a horrible waiter and we wernt all that satisfied because we wanted to go to Texas Road House but it wasnt open. Okay so we ate there and came back to the office and had some AMAZING cake.

They both got some cute stuff! After cake Casey decided to try and induce her labor as was doing squats. It was so funny. Casey I love you!! (She is going to kill me for posting this pic)

We had a fun day though and was better than sitting at home in this small town we live in.

Missing School

2009-07-21T17:43:00.000-07:00

Okay so I usually dont just post without a picture, but I just felt like writing. I am in a bad mood and I really just want to go back to Utah and start school. I miss school a lot and cant wait to see all my dietetic friends and start doing projects and studying for tests. I know it sounds weird, but I really do like that kind of stuff. It is also crazy because I am graduating in April. I cant imagine life without school. Well, I guess that's all I have to say, but Jordan and I are doing good. He is selling well and hopefully when we get back we will be able to buy a house. I just cant wait to come home back to Utah. Only 1 1/2 months though!!!!

In the Office

2009-07-18T14:48:00.000-07:00

Sarah, Thea, and Kiyoko!

This is just a cute pic and I wanted to post it. We were watching something at the office and Thea decided to go and sit right inbetween Kiyoko and Sarah. Thea loves Sarah and always wants to sit by her. I think my dog thinks she is human. I love her so much though.

Something else about the office is that on monday night we all watch the Bachelorette and I love Ed. I want him to win so bad. He has actually declared his love! Okay, I know I sound silly but I just love Ed and think he would be so good with Jillian. I cant wait for monday to see all the boys get back together.

The 4th of July and a Great Deal!!!

2009-07-11T14:50:00.000-07:00

For the 4th of July we went to Jordan's brother Dustins family lakehouse. It was so much fun to see his family and have fun on the lake. We went boating the day before and the day of and had so much fun. This is Rachel and I on the boat.

We took Thea on the boat with us the first day. I think she liked it?
Brandon and Thea on the Boat!

Dustin on the tube!

Here is Jordan and Brandon on the tube.

This is a pic of us after boating all day. Jordan got a little burnt as you can see. I dont know why he is making this face?

This is Kaylea, my niece. She was so cute in her 4th of July outfit, and look at the huge tomato that I had her hold so i could take a pic of both. She wanted to eat it!

This is Dustin and Kaylea with a Sparkler. It was fun at the Lake becuase there was a firework show out over the lake and you could also light any fireworks you wanted so Jordan bought a bunch. He loved it and we all had so much fun!
OKAY SO HERE IS MY GREAT DEAL!!!

I got both of these items for $20 from Vanity. I got a pair of jeans and these shoes. The deal was actually two jeans for $20, but I only found one I liked so they let me get these shoes instead.

Here is a pic of me with the jeans on. I told my friend Sarah to only take of pic of the pants but she said she wouldnt so she made me pose. Sorry, its really cheesey but look at the pants! I love them and they are so comfy!!!

Amanda and Colbie Caillat

2009-06-18T21:47:00.000-07:00

My friend Amanda from Georgia came to visit me for 5 days and arrived today! I am so excited to spend all this time with her. It is perfect too becuase Jordan is gone so I have someone to be with me. Today we went to the Colbie Caillat Concert at Six Flags. I have a season pass and a coupon let me get Amanda in for $10. Sweet Deal!

We were sl close to the stage. I think only 3 or 4 rows back. It was so cool to be so close.

Brittany Fish and Kim came to the concert as well. It was a lot of fun to have all of them there and we all got along really well. Thanks guys it was so much fun!!!

Look! She is such an amazing singer! It was a great concert!

Here is her and her whole band at the closing song singing Bubbly! I love that song!!!

At the end of the show Colbie walked down to shake peoples hands!

Amanda and Brittany both shook ger hand!!! They were way excited!

After the concert we went on a ride and took this fun pic with whoever this guy is? We went on the ride that drops you like 40 stories and we were getting on the ride when they made us not get on and it was becuase Colbie and her band were getting on VIP. So we almost got to ride the ride with Colbie but we got to watch the ride she went on!!!

It was such a fun day and I am so excited to spend these next 4 days with Amanda.

Alone with the Girls!

2009-06-15T11:07:00.000-07:00

Jordan is gone for the week selling and so it is just all the wifes without their husbands for the week. It should be fun but I am still going to miss my husband and so will Thea. She loves it when Jordan comes home and is always so excited to see him. I will miss Jordan a lot!!!

Happy Birthday Brandon!

2009-06-15T07:27:00.001-07:00

Brandon turned 20 today so Jordan and I decided to have some people over to celebrate Brandons birthday!

Here is everyone over and Jordan lighting the candles.

Brandon opened his presents and got some cool stuff!

After everyone left the couples stayed and we played Last Word. It was really fun and I loved it becuase I love all the couples that are out here with us. Love you Fish's, Griffin's and Smith's!!!

Thanks Ginger, I love it!!!!

The Beach in Texas

2009-06-02T13:52:00.000-07:00

So Jordan and I and 13 other people from our office took the two hour drive to the Gulf of Mexico to go to the beach. We went to Padre Island and it was so much fun. The water was so warm and the sand was really fine. You can see in this pic how all the cars are lined up of the beach. I thought it was so cool that you could just park on the beach. Here is Jordan with Thea in the ocean for the first time!

Aw! They are so cute!

Here is our little family on the beach.So I think that Thea didnt really like the sand all that much becuase she seemed to always by laying on top of people. But it was really cute and made good pics! This is Thea and my brother Brandon.

Jordan and Thea!

This is Jon and Thea.

Some of the technicians came down with us to the beach and he happend to have a Platinum sign in his car so I took a pic of all the Platinum boys at the beach. This was taken right after we had pizza delivered right to the beach. How cool is that!So a couple of the guys were buying skin boards to use at the beach and of course Jordan just had to get one so $70 later here is Jon and Jordan on the beach with thier skin boards.

Just me and Thea!

It was a really fun day and we are going to go back more times for sure. Thea was so exhausted from the beach that she slept the whole way home which was great. Gosh I love the summer!!!

Random Flashback

2009-05-25T10:57:00.000-07:00

So I dont have anything really meaningful to post but I need to post something. I was looking through some pics that I have on my flash drive and I came across this one. This is two days after Jordan got home from his mission, however long ago that was. I remeber I was so nervouse to see him and I thought he wouldnt like me anymore. Gosh that was so exciting when he came home!

A Couple Random Things!

2009-05-13T16:02:00.000-07:00

For this summer I decided that I needed to do something with my extra time for my applcation to dietetic internships in Feburary. I decided to volunteer at a hospital. It it the Baptist Medical Center in downtown San Antonio. Today I just got my badge and parking pass. I have gonw to orientation and all that already. I start next thursday and I am so excited. I am going to shadow a dietitian. I hope I learn a lot. Just another random thing about Thea. Sometimes I think she looks like a little piggy! I took this pic one time when I was thinking that about her. Dont get me wrong she is still cute, but doesnt she look like a piggy!

A Day in Waco, Texas!!

2009-05-05T13:46:00.000-07:00

So my sister in-law Rachel and her mom were in a horse show in Waco, TX this Sunday so Jordan, Thea, and I got up at 4:30 am to make the 3 hour drive to see them. We havent seen Jordan's brother Dustin or his wife, and their cute kids since Christmas, so we were way excited. Here are some pictures of the events of the day.

Thea had so much fun at the horse show. She was able to just run around, poop, and pee everywhere and we didn't get mad at her. This is a collar that Jordan wanted to get her. You can tell she doesnt like it.
Here is my nephew Nathan with Thea. We would hand her off to him and her would wear her out. It was great!

Here my cute little niece Kayleea. She is just under a year and she loves to ride horses just like her mommy.

Here is Jordan on a horse.

And me on a horse.

This is Jordan's brother Dustin and baby Kayleea.

Here is Rachel, my sis in-law in her way cute outfit about to go compete. She actually did really well. It was her first time competing and she placed.

So that was are eventfull day in Waco. By the way the water tastes like dirt! We had fun and Thea was so tuckered out she slept the whole way home and the whole night till 7:30 am. It was so great!!!

Our New Puppy, Thea, Is Here!!!

2009-04-28T13:50:00.001-07:00

We got her a week and a half ago and we just love her. This is her in the car on the ride home from her old house. It was so sad that she had to leve all her sisters and brothers.

This is me holding Thea at home. She loves to cuddle with me.

Thea is the so adorable. She loves her blanket.

The day after we got her she played outside all day. She loved to chew on the pine cones.
Look at her cute little face. She was only 7 weeks old when we got her.
This is the night that we got her and grandpa is holding her.
Jordan and I love Thea so much. I am actually now in San Antonio for the summer and have been away from Thea for a few days now. I miss her so much. Jordan is driving down here as I post this though, so I should be seeing her soon. I am so excited!

Home to Utah!

2008-08-30T16:59:00.000-07:00

So it has been a while and that is becuase I have been on the road. Jordan and I left from Va to come home, finally. So we left and drove a straight 20 hours to Jordan's grandparents house in Minnisota.

This is the Mall of America! It was only 10 min away from Jordan's Grandparents. It was the coolest mall I have ever been to. It was 4 stories and had an amusement park inside of it. Jordan made us go in every store on all 4 floors. It took a good 4 hours. We didnt even buy anything!
That is the amusement park behind us!
This was a gun at grandpas house. Jordan really wants a gun. I really dont.

We will see what happens.

Jord and I in the car going out to lunch.
This is Jordans cousin Ashley. She works at Burlington Coat Factory so we went there and I got a shirt on her discount. Score!!!

There is no place like home!
