Drew, Stephanie, and Audrey

I know...It's about time!

2009-09-14T17:27:00.001-07:00

Wow! I has been forever! So much has happened, I don't know where to start! Things are still going great with us it has just been really busy! Audrey is so full of life and keeps us hoping every minute. Our summer has been filled with fun, shopping, hunting, camping, crafting, lots of softball, trips to lagoon, visits to the zoo, playing at the park, swimming, and making a whole lot of memories! I will get photos up soon!

Catching up...

2009-03-29T14:54:00.000-07:00

I haven't had much spare time for blogging lately so we have some catching up to do...

Of course Drew has been Mountain Lion hunting every Saturday because it's winter. Don't worry, he hasn't killed one! They just go let the dogs chase them and tree them so they can take pictures. It's apparently and adrenalain rush to play with danger! Whatever makes him happy!

Audrey loves pizza! And everything you you give her except milk! She is almost 1 so we have been introducing the wonderful world of food to her, she loves everything and despite her looks doesn't ever want to stop eating unless you give her some milk! She spits it out and gives the funniest look I have ever seen, like she can't believe I would even try to give her something so gross! If any of you have any ideas about how to get her to drink it I would love to try them out, we seriously feel like we have tried everything!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We celebrated by going to Layton City's Family Recreation Night at the Library. We meet the Lepercans, played games, and listened to story time. Of course my dad was a lepercan, as you can see! Audrey had a lot of fun!

As most of you know I am a craft-a-holic! This is my newest creation! A onesie all dolled up with a flower that buttons on so it is interchangeable! Audrey is my little model and this was her St. Patrick's Day outfit. I have gotten involved with craft fairs so I have to come up with new cute ideas all the time. I am selling these, each shirt comes with two flowers for a different look each time they are worn! I also have hair bows that match sold seperately. I am going to be making a blog for all my crafts soon so stay tuned if you are interested!

She is such a good sport! She hangs out with my manning the booth at the craft fairs and models all the cute stuff we are selling! She waves and says hi to all the people...and people just flock to see her! Here she is all sprawled out napping after a long day at the craft fair...looking just like the little princess she is!

So this picture is giving me fits, sorry it is turned wrong! Aunt Barbara spoiled her and made her this adorable princess dress! She looked darling and was acting so cute in it!

NEW JOB!

2009-03-12T10:12:00.000-07:00

Yeah...That's Right...I Got A New Job! I can't believe that it happened so fast! The first job that I applied for I got! Everything really does happen for a reason! I will be working at America First in the Collections Deptartement and I start on Monday. Starting a new job is always stressful but I think there are some great opportunities for me at AFCU so I am excited. I will have to start full time until a 30 hour a week position opens but that shouldn't be more then a few months, it will be hard to be away from my princess more but I think the sacrifice for right now will pay off in the long run and this move will be good for our family.
Thanks so much for all your prayers and support! It was really nice to know that I had so many people pushing for me and giving me leads on jobs. I have to best family and friends in the world!

Idol Chatter!

2009-03-05T13:31:00.000-08:00

It's that time of the week again! How about American Idol this week! I was pretty happy with who made it through but I was really hoping that Jun'not would be on the wild card show! I can't believe that they are bringing Tatiana back for the wild card show...are they insane, nobody will vote for her! And if they do then they are insane too! I'm also not a huge fan of the weird tone voices like Megan's but we will just have to see what happens! Tell me what you think!

Layoff...

2009-02-26T10:14:00.000-08:00

So...although we never thought it would affect us in this way, the economy crunch has hit home for us this week. I was laid off from my job on Monday. It has been a rollercoaster of emotion as I have dealt with the questions why and what now. They had to make cut backs and so my position was eliminated...they couldn't give me any reasons why and so I have had to come to my own conclusions, but no matter the reason it is done and we have to move forward. Hopefully this will be a blessing in disguise and through the hardship we will learn a lot and become stronger while finding something better for our family. I have started looking for something else and have got some great leads but if any of you hear of anything please let me know. I am looking into translating for the courts and things are looking great for that, I also have some great leads with FedEx, America First, and a few others but I want to look at all my options. I am sure that my experience and being biligual will help me find something great. So I guess the reason I am writing this post is to see if any of you know of any leads that I can follow up on, as we all know it's who you know that often gets you in the door and then I can definately take it from there. Thanks for all your help...I will keep you updated!

Nelson Look-alike Meter

2009-02-20T07:41:00.001-08:00

Wow! I thought she looked more like Drew but I guess I was wrong!

THE OTHER JUDGES COMMENTS...

2009-02-18T07:46:00.000-08:00

Ok...it's time for another American Idol run down!

So...WAY TO GO DANNY! All I can say is WOW he really nailed it! But, hey, I really wouldn't have expected less since I have been a fan since the beginning! Brent Keith really surprised me! We haven't seen him really in any of the prior shows this season but I thought he did really good. Unlike the judges, I am a country fan so I liked his song choice and he was right "Country fans won't forget it!" Also unlike the judges, I thought that Casey Carlson's preformance was cute. She really showed her personality and I thought she did well. I am a big Ann Marie fan but she could have done better last night. I agreed with the judges, for once, when they said she just didn't show off her voice enough! But of course, I still voted for her because I know she can do better! Michael really showed off his personality and I just continue to love how down to earth he is! I thought he did awesome! So those were my favorites! After the show I ran hot bath water and took a nice bubble bath while I voted for an hour!
Maybe you are wondering what I might say about my least favorite contestant...Tatiana. Well, she was much less annoying last night as she was very subdued and I unlike the judges liked that much better but I still don't like her! She was all over the place on her song and as far as I am concerned she just isn't good! If she makes it through I will know the show is rigged and I will cry!

Happy Valentine's Day!

2009-02-18T07:21:00.000-08:00

My wonderful husband never ceases to amaze me! He is just so sweet! For valentines he surprised me with a dozen red roses (which is amazing all in itself because he doesn't buy flowers), chocolates, and the sweetest note from Audrey and him telling me how much they love me! It was just so cute...he even wrote Audrey's part as if she was writting it to me! Then he got a babysitter and took me out for a romantic date! I did the 14 days of Valentines for him giving him a different fishing lure everyday with a note that told him why "Out of all the fish in the sea" I was so glad he picked me! I must admit, I came up with some pretty good ones!

Since Audrey was our little valentine she got a little spoiled as well, but I just couldn't help it! We gave her a pink teddy bear, some darling little books, and of course her first purse! She was so excited when we took her in the front room on Saturday morning and she saw her new toys, she just squilled with delight and practically jumped out of my arms to get them! Then she made me so proud...she took the purse and put it right on her shoulder! I could have cried I was so proud that she knew exactly what to do with it! Ya...I'm sure some of you are really laughing right now that I would be so excited about something like that but hey, are you really surprised?! It was the cutest thing ever! Now she just takes it around the house with her!

Here are some pictures...

As you can see it was just a really good Valentine's! I really learned this year that Valentine's isn't just about romantic love but celebrating every kind of love that we have in our lives! Experiencing this Valentines Day with Audrey opened my eyes to that, so what I used to think was just a lovers holiday has turned into a holiday to share my love with all those that are special to me! Don't get me wrong...the romantic part was wonderful...now I just have more reasons to celebrate!

Disappointed!

2009-02-12T08:24:00.000-08:00

Ok all you American Idol fans...here's my run down of last night...

It started as a regular Wednesday night for me...snuggled up on the love sac pretending that i'm the judge on American Idol, but it ended with me wanting to shake the judges! What were they thinking?! I seriously can't believe that they would put Tatiana through! It makes me so mad! She can't sing and she is the most annoying person ever! And what about Jamar! He is amazing and they sent him home! I thought that this competition was supposed to be about talent!
Oh well, I guess since I can't change it I will just keep cheering for my favorites that are still there...and sending in lots of votes next week! Go Danny, Ann Marie, Michael, and Lil! If any of you vote for Tatiana I will really have to hurt you, she better be the first one voted off!

Vive Las Vegas!

2009-02-06T08:55:00.000-08:00

Drew and I just got back from Las Vegas...our little getaway for our Anniversary. We had a blast! We missed our little Audrey a ton but it was really nice to get away from work and just relax! Here are some pics...

Our Hotel...South Point. It was quite the hotel!

We even had curtains around our bed!

Paris on the Strip! We obviously spent some time on the Strip seeing all the sites, it was Drew's first time so that made it even more fun!

The dancing water at the Belagio is one of my favorites so we stopped and watched a couple shows there.

All the lights looking out over the Strip is pretty amazing!

At the Silverton there is an amazing salt water fish tank with sting rays and all kinds of huge fish!

We got some free slot play credits to the Riviera so we went and tried our luck but came up with nothin'! I really don't see how people get addicted to playing slots, it really wasn't that entertaining!

I know...wierd that I put the pic of the temple right after the gambling pic but that's just how it happened! While we were there we went and saw the Las Vegas Temple, it was beautiful and a nice break from the rest of Vegas. We did some sealings and the Temple was absolutely georgous inside.

The Freemont Street Experience was amazing! There is a canopy over the street that they show a laser light show on every hour and it was incredible. It was like visiting Vegas the way that it used to be! They had some really fun street vendors and lots of free entertainment!

While we were on Freemont Street we visited another amazing aquarium with sharks in it at the Golden Nugget. It had a waterslide that took you right down through the middle of the aquarium that was so cool!

We also spent some time shopping of course...at the outlets for me and Bass Pro for Drew! We ate at lots of great buffets, relaxed by the pool, and in the evenings enjoyed the hot tub. It was beautiful weather...in the 70's the whole time! All in all it was just a really nice getaway but there was nothing better then getting home to our little darling and having her be so excited to see us!

Picture Update!

2009-02-05T10:04:00.000-08:00

So...we've been really busy having fun and it's time to give you some updated pics!

Audrey is crawling all over the place these days and it is the cutest thing in the world to watch her wiggle her little butt as she gets ready to go!

Audrey loves the camera! We were just playing around taking pictures because Audrey thinks it is so much fun to pose for the camera!

Audrey is a busy, busy baby!

We went Ice Skating the other week for FHE and Lil' Audrey is a pro! She had a blast laughing and chatting the whole time!

Fun for the whole family!

Quote of the Day

2009-01-20T09:55:00.000-08:00

Isn't having a baby around just priceless! It makes you see the world from a whole different perspective. So many times I will have so much to do around the house when Audrey and I get home but I find myself sitting on the floor playing with her, reading her a story, singing songs, or just cuddling on the couch for her nap instead. Even though my house may not be in perfect order all the time I wouldn't trade those moments with Audrey for anything.
I read this perfect quote on my cousin-in-laws blog and wanted to share it with you all...

Cleaning and scrubbing

Can wait 'til tomorrow

For babies grow up

I've learned to my sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs

Dust go to sleep

I'm rocking my baby

And babies don't keep.

Isn't that the truth?!

Pictures!

2009-01-16T07:30:00.000-08:00

Audrey and I celebrating New Years! She had a darling sparkly halo and necklace thanks to my cousin Mady and she had a very fun time. We went to my Grandma's house and played games with my family all night. There was lots of good food and fun, it was a great way to end last year and begin this year!

This is a pic from our Anniversary that kind of shows my new beautiful necklace. This is right after he gave it to me and put in on me, we took the picture ourselves (i'm sure you can tell).

Drew and I enjoying our walk around the Temple Square and down memory lane. It was such a beautiful night and Drew made it so romatic!

2nd Anniversary!

2009-01-15T11:44:00.000-08:00

Wow! Two whole years! On one hand I can't believe how fast the time goes but then on the other hand I feel like we have been together forever! Drew and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on the 12th and Drew really spoiled me! Drew planned the night out for us and even got a babysitter without me knowing! He took me to Salt Lake to walk around Temple Square since we were married in the Salt Lake Temple. We walked through the grounds and the visitors center and then he stopped us to sit on a couch with a beautiful view of the Temple in the South Visitors Center. After a minute of just admiring the temple he said that he wanted to give me something that really meant something for our anniversary and pulled out a jewelry box! You can imagine my shock since he swore he wouldn't give me anymore jewelry after my wedding ring because I have so much! He said 2 years ago he gave me his heart and he would do it all over again and gave me the little box with a beautiful heart necklace with pink stones (I will post pictures soon)! Of course I cried! It was really gushy but I loved every minute of it! He is just so sweet! Much more sentimental then I am since I got him camo seat covers for his truck! Oh well, I think he was as happy with those as I was with the beautiful necklace he got me! Then we were going to go out to dinner at the Macaroni Grill for old time sake but when we got there we found out that it has gone out of business, how sad! So we headed over to the Gateway and enjoyed a nice dinner together, got a movie and headed home to cuddle up on the Lovesac and watch it. It was a wonderful night and an incredible way to start our 3rd year together!

Jewelry...Already!

2009-01-09T09:16:00.000-08:00

Audrey and I went to a Lia Sophia party last night and Audrey didn't let me down! She is already in love with jewelry...definately her mom's girl! She just layed and looked at the magizine making adorable sighs and then when we went to look at the jewlry table she just got so excited pointing and squilling with a huge smile on her face! I was so proud!

9 Month Doctor's Visit

2009-01-08T08:47:00.000-08:00

So, we went to the doctor yesterday for Audrey's 9 Month checkup...
She is a whopping 15 lbs. and is 27 in.! My little string bean! The doctor says that she is in the 5% in weight and 75% in height. She said our little Audrey is doing great and is right on schedule for everything, she growing at her own little pace and she is perfect. She is just a daintly little girl with an excellent matabolism!
Audrey loved the doctor's office until she got her shots, she let out a few little crys and then in went her fingers to console her. The only thing that would make her smile again where the smarties that we got on the way out! You'd never know it by looking at her but that little girl loves food and a treat can always put her in a good mood! She is definately her mothers daughter in that department!

Pictures...Finally!

2008-12-30T08:03:00.000-08:00

So I finally have some pictures to post! This month has been so much fun with Audrey, we have made lots of fun memories!

Audrey's first time sitting on Santa's lap! She didn't even cry, she just looked at him like he was crazy but she was happy with her candy cane!

We went on a hayride in the Layton Park to see all the lights. Audrey was in awe! She just chatted the whole time and was full of smiles!

I tortured Drew by making him take a family Christmas picture, but he was a very good sport and endured it well! Audrey loved sitting in her new rocking chair that he dad fixed up for her and she just couldn't stop smiling and giggling!

We went over to Drew's sister Brittanie's house to decorate cookies but Audrey had more fun decorating herself! She ate the cookies faster then she could frost them but she was having so much fun I just couldn't bring myself to stop her!

Audrey and I had matching Christmas Dresses this year...even though Drew thinks it's dorkey that we always match! I love it and Audrey looked absolutely adorable!

Audrey had so much fun on Christmas! She wasn't quite sure how to unwrap the presents but she loved them once they were unwrapped. Once we got the wrapping paper off she would clap and then start to play with the toys! The first thing she did with her dolls was give them kisses, she is already such a girlie girl! Of course, her favorite thing about Christmas was the wrapping paper and boxes! She got totally spoiled and so did Drew and I! We really had a wonderful Christmas!

Just a little update!

2008-12-22T10:39:00.000-08:00

So I have so many cute pictures on my camera to put on here but things have been so crazy that I haven't had a chance to do it yet. I will asap, I promise. Things are going great for us this holiday season. Drew is super busy with work, of course! Audrey got to sit on Santa's lap for the first time and she didn't even cry! She loved him! We have been having so much fun at the family parties getting to see everyone and catch up. Audrey is growing up so fast and already has her first two teeth! She says Ma Ma and Da Da all the time, it is the cutest thing ever! She has the sweetest little voice. She loves the presents under the Christmas Tree and of course she is into everything! I think her favorite thing this Christmas will be the wrapping paper! She looked so darling in her Christmas dress yesterday and even though Drew thinks it is dorky Audrey and I matched with our Christmas dresses! It is so much fun to have a baby at Christmas time and get to enjoy all the kid things of Christmas again!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a very Merry Christmas!

What a little sweetie! This picutre is just so Audrey...with her little fingers in her mouth! She just loves those two fingers...but right now it is pretty darling!

The Latest...

2008-11-12T09:48:00.000-08:00

So Audrey is just growing like a weed! She is 13 lbs. 5 oz. now and 7 months old! I know that sounds small but she just keeps getting taller and taller forgetting to get any fatter! The doctor says she is just petite but growing very well. She must have got the Nelsons genes! She is sitting up so good and moving all over the place! She is just so active! I love to just sit and play with her so I can hear her jibber jabber away! She is just so much fun!

We just got Audrey's pictures taken and they turned out darling...here is a little peek...

Winning Streak!

2008-10-04T16:18:00.000-07:00

SUU won again today for second win in a row and their third win this season! Austin did awesome with 5 tackles, 2 1/2 tackles for losses, and a Quarterback sack! Final score was 14 to 7! It rained the whole game but being soaked was worth watching such a great game! Audrey was such a good sport and the best ball game baby...all decked out in her SUU clothes she didn't even fuss, just cheered for Austin and slept! Back at the hotel we are having a bunch of fun with the whole family since we don't get to be all together very often!

Scraps of Simplicity

2008-10-01T08:50:00.000-07:00

I am part of a way fun boutique that is coming up so I just wanted to let you all know! It is called Scraps of Simplicity and it happens every April and October. There will be lots of darling stuff, prizes, and sales so come if you can!

I will be there all day so come see me and have fun shopping!

SSU Football

2008-09-12T13:53:00.000-07:00

Austin started his last season with the SUU football team and that means a lot of weekend trips to Cedar City for us! We went to his first home game last weekend and had so much fun! Audrey was the cutes cheerleader there! She was all decked out in the cute SUU outfit her uncle Austin bought for her and topped it all off with a matching bow and an SUU tatoo on her cheek! They won 35 to 7 and Austin had a great game!

Bow Hunt

2008-08-24T16:04:00.000-07:00

We're Back! Back from a week of camping and hunting! We spent the week with Drew's family relaxing and fourwheeling while Drew and the guys hunted deer. I'd tell you where but apparently it is against hunting rules to give your spot away! Drew shot a 20 inch 3 point! We had a lot of fun just being together as a family, enjoying a little bit cooler tempatures, and of course Drew loved hunting! Back at camp while the boys were busy us girls had fun painting fingernails, putting makeup on Audrey, riding the fourwheelers, and chasing kids! Camping is great in the trailer Drew bought for us! He knows how to take care of his girls! Needless to say it was a lot of fun and you'll be able to tell by the adorable pics!

After we got back from the hunt I got my bows and baby bracelets in a boutique. It's called Shop 46 and it is on Hillfield Road by the south gate to the Base. Hopefully they will do well there!

Girls Weekend

2008-08-12T07:43:00.000-07:00

Audrey and I had so much fun this weekend with all the girls! We went and stayed in Morgan at my Aunt CJ's parents house since they are gone on a mission...we did crafts, played games, watched movies, laughed tons, and of course we went shopping! We spent the day on Saturday in Park City shopping and got lots of great deals! It was fun to just hang out together and relax! Pictures will be coming soon!
Of course while we were doing girl things Drew kept himself busy with boy things! He went to an archry shooting course to practice for the big hunt this week! To say that he is really excited for the hunt would be an understatement!

Audrey's Update

2008-08-07T07:39:00.000-07:00

We went to the doctor yesterday for Audrey's 4 month checkup and she is doing great. She weighs 11 lbs. 9 oz. and is 24 inches long! She is in the 25% in weight and the 50% in height...so she is just a little string bean! She rolled over twice for the doctor...I think she is like her mom and likes to show off because at home she will never do that on command! The doctor said that we can start feeding her baby food! I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

Roy Days

2008-08-05T12:11:00.000-07:00

So...Roy Days went great! It was a long day in the hot sun but we did really well selling Hair Bows and Baby Bracelets. Audrey was such a good girl...she didn't cry once all day and was the perfect modle for us! I'm not surprised that we did well with how adorable she looks in her bows and bracelets! I still have lots of inventory so if any of you want any darling things for your baby girls let me know! I'm now getting ready for a big boutique in October!

Katie is going to be leaving for school in just a couple of weeks and we are going to miss her so bad! She is counting down the days but it is going to be so crazy not to have her here! She is taking every chance she can to tend Audrey and I know Audrey will miss her while she is gone! This weekend we are having a girls weekend making jewelry and shopping before she goes and it is going to be a blast, i'm so excited I can't wait!

My New Venture

2008-07-29T07:36:00.000-07:00

So I'm making and selling hair bows, flowers, headbands, and baby bracelets! I made tons for Audrey and she has so many that I decided if I wanted to keep making them i'd have to sell them! They are perfect for babies when they are cliped on the interchangable headbands and perfect for little girls cliped in their ponytails or even just their hair! Let me know if you want any!
Bows and Flowers are $4.00 or 2 for $6.00 (unless otherwise priced) and the baby bracelets are $4.00 or 2 for $6.00.
They are fun for your girls or make a great gift!

Weekend Fun

2008-07-28T12:01:00.000-07:00

Yeah! Drew is almost done with summer semester! He had some major homework over the weekend but got it done and now he only has his final to take! I know he will be excited to have it over with just in time to start a new semester! While he has been busy with homework I've been busy making bows for this weekends big event...my sister-in-law and I are selling bows and baby bracelets at Roy Days on Saturday!
We had lots of fun at the Raptor's game with all of my family! They won...wahoo! Katie and her friends entertained us as they asked out all the players during warmups! Then we had fun getting together with all of my Dad's side of the family on Sunday for a farewell dinner for my cousin Curtis and his family. It is so fun to get together and see everyone!
Audrey held her bottle by herself for the first time and it was darling...those tiny little hands don't even get all the way around the bottle!

Big News!

2008-07-25T12:57:00.000-07:00

Audrey rolled over for the first time this week! Once from her back to her stomach and once from her stomach to her back! I can't believe how fast she is growing up! I laid her on the love sack and turned around to check on the CD I was burning and when I turned back around she had rolled over and was so proud of herself as she just looked at me with the biggest smile and laughed! She is just absolutely adorable! Also...we just weighed her again and she is now a whapping 12 lbs.! Although i'm not sure where she keeps it since she is so long and skinny...probably in those darling chubby checks of hers!

New Pictures

2008-07-22T08:28:00.000-07:00

I just added some new pictures to show you what we have been up to! We've been busy but with some fun stuff. Some of it may surprise you! We certainly have been sharing some special and fun moments together as a family.

Summer

2008-07-17T08:46:00.000-07:00

We just bought a new camping trailor...cuz' I told Drew that was the only way we were going camping with a new baby...so we have been having fun camping and making memories as a family!

We've been to Otter Creek, East Canyon Resort, and Hoop Lake. Drew is teaching me how to fish and I even got my first fishing license...but don't you worry I only agreed to get one if he knew that there was no way I would ever touch a fish, so he takes care of that part. We've also been enjoying Baseball, watching the Raptors and Drew's Softball team!

Obviously Audrey is learning all about camping and sports but of course I am also teaching her all about shopping! She loves walks around the mall and we all know how much I love that too! And she is quite the girlie girl...you won't see her without her hairbows and bracelets, she even has her first doll (even if she doesn't have a clue what it is yet)!

Just a little update

Just a little update on what is going on with us...
Drew is staying busy with work, school, 2 big church callings, and making time to hang out with Audrey and I! He is the Scout Master and the 1st Counselor in the Young Mens in our ward so the boys keep him hopping. He is back in school part time working on a degree in Technical Sales and still working at FedEx. I'm back to work at SOS Staffing after 3 months off with Audrey, it was a little tough to come back but I'm only working part time so that makes it a little easier. I'm staying busy with work, taking care of the baby, and being 1st Counselor in the Relief Society Presidency in our ward. Plus I have started a new venture...making and selling baby hair bows, headbands, hair clips, and baby bracelets (so if you need any they are adorable and I have a lot on hand)! It is a lot of fun and hopefully will bring in a little extra cash for us! Audrey is doing great! She is so alert all the time and with those big beautiful blue eyes she just looks at us and it seems she has so much to say but just can't quite make the sound come out! She is full of smiles and is even starting to giggle...everyday holds a surprise with her!

Then there was Three

Audrey was born April 3, 2008 and a wonderful addition to our little family! We had a few sleepless nights there at first but now at 3 months old she is sleeping through the night! She is smiling all the time and even giggles! Just a couple of days ago she played with her first toy...it was absolutely adorable!

Oh listen to me...I never thought these kinds of things would be so fun to talk about but she has opened the door to a whole new world for us and we just love her!
