Here are a few things that you may not have known about Josh. 
1. He is madly in love and addicted to video games. His favorite games that he could play for days and days is Call of Duty Ghosts. 
2. He has another obsession with computer games. He plays Terria all the time, and is always wanting me to play with him. ( which i have and its a really fun game) So for all you married people out there that have hubby's that play video games and they want you to play with them. Download Terria on the computer right now.
3. He loves to eat and eat. I can always count on him to finish eating my food, and even sometimes he will eat my food even when i'm still hungry. haha
4. He has had the same friends since he was a little kid and they have man nights that last clear to the next day.
5. He hates lil wayne with a passion and thinks he is the worst rapper.

ChRiStMaS 2013



                   This year was Hallies first Christmas, and it was a lot of fun. I have been mostly excited for her than myself, I never really got excited for Christmas but since having my little girl around i have been more excited for things.. Like Christmas,going to the park, holidays, just simple things. This year we had Christmas at our home. We all went to bed around eleven and than Hallie and i woke up around nine in the morning while josh was already awake. We got Hallie a huge stuffed animal, she loves it. She gets so excited everytime she see him ( we named him Wilfred) haha. Than we got her a toy laptop since she loves playing with ours. She got a walker and then a few other toys, Of course she was more interested in the wrapping paper then her toys but what baby isn't right. 
Josh and I did something a little different this year, previous years we've got each other alot of stuff but this year we wanted to spend most of our Christmas money making it fun for Hallie. So we set a twenty five dollar limit for each of us. I got him a video game (thats kinda old that him and i can play together) Lego star wars. Than i got him some old movies and A few BYU things. His gift to me was tons better and meaningful, he got me school supplies and then he gave me a cool looking glass jar that he had put memories in there, and than he wanted us to add more to it. It was so thoughtful and sweet! I loved it! 
We both went and visited both our familes and ate so much food and candy, i almost started my parents house on fire, when i went to get rolls out of the oven using a dishcloth. woops haha it is my parents new house that i have never lived in so i had no idea where the hot pads were. I enjoyed spending time with my family and his family. Christmas is such a great holiday full of love and giving and celebrating the birth of our savoir. I'm so grateful for him! 

I hope you all enjoyed Christmas as much as i did!

       
My sisters and Mommy. My best friends yup! 

                                                       Hallie having fun with her presents. 

                                                     Love these moments with my baby girl!

                                                             My Twin Brother and I. 


Josh and Hallie always make the same face in pictures. lol

2013 Coming to an End...

Oh my heck, We seriously only have 27 days left of this year! How crazy is that!!!
This year has seriously flown by so quickly, i swear when i was younger the years never went by this quick... it must be because i'm getting older..Dang it! So many changes have happened since January, we moved, had a baby, went to Washington for two months, went back to work, and started working full time. By far my favorite has been Hallie, she is the biggest blessing to Josh and I, She has the funnest personality and is always so happy. I do have to throw in that last night was her first night since she was two months old, that she slept through the whole night without a bottle.. Boy was it amazing.. When i woke up this morning i had to go check on her and make sure she was okay, cause i didn't hear her last night.. but she was just sleeping away. I've heard that as soon as you have a baby it makes marriages harder, because all your focus is on this brand new baby and giving the baby everything they need. I was talking with Josh last night about what his thoughts were and if he thinks its been hard, and he said that it has made our marriage greater than ever. I couldn't agree more with him, we are always laughing with each other and playing with Hallie as a family is so fun. It really has made our marriage just as great as it was before!
So a few updates, Hallie has started to army crawl, she is so close to actually crawling.. we have to bribe her with food of course, but she is learning haha... She has two teeth on the bottom, she loves music and will grunt at us in the car if there isn't music playing. She thinks that when we put her to bed at nine that its play time and she starts kicking and laughing at herself till we grab her and play with her. She loves to watch soccer games, when we go and watch an indoor game before my game starts, her focus is on the feild pretty much the whole time.
Josh is on his last real semester of school, FINALLY.. He has one class left next semester but the hard part is done! He is still working for the same company and loves it! For Christmas i bought him tickets to go see his favorite NFL team, we just got back from going to see them play in San Francisco.. he loved it so much!
I recently just got promoted at my work, Funny story about that. I had applied for the job but i didn't plan on getting it, because there were others that had applied that i thought would be better for the position, so i kept a positive attitude and interviewed. Before i went to my interview Josh had told me you probably wont get the job but it'll be good practice for you, ( your probably thinking how rude of him to say that, haha but honestly it was true thats what i was thinking in my head and he had said it in a nice way too) So after my interview that i thought went really well, I found out that i had got the job about two day later.. I was SOOO excited and happy about it, i wanted to call Josh right away and tell him. but i thought i would play a joke on him. i text him and told him i hadn't heard about the job and that i was kinda bummed about it.. haha.. When i saw him in person, all he kept telling me was that i shouldn't feel dumb for applying for it and if anything it was really good practice.. So after he said that i told him i didn't feel dumb, because i got the job! The look on his face was seriously priceless! We celebrated by going out to eat! i love my new position at work, alot of learning but its so awesome!
I also got accepted into Weber State University, most probably think that's not that big of a deal but to me its huge! When i was in high school, i never went to school and got caught up in the wrong things, things that didn't matter.. I loved learning and regret not going as much as i should have.. I ended up getting my diploma about a year after i got married, which only took a week to get. i always wanted to go to college but didn't think i would ever get accepted. So when i got that letter in the mail, it was like Christmas to me! I'm going this next spring semester and i'm going into Psychology and then from there going to apply to BYU to get my PHD in Neuropsychology. I have jumped from what I've wanted to study for so long, jumping from cosmetology to business and medical, but psychology is what I've always been interested in, and i'm beyond excited to start!

Thats the update, ill post up some pictures of little Hals, and the NFL game we went to and of Hals halloween costume!

In honor of Throw back Thursday

Throw back Thursday is the greatest!



I always love looking through old pictures and remembering so many good memories... I first was introduced to throw back Thursday through Instagram, Im keeping up with the times.. I think posting pictures of past memories are fun, but today i wanted to make a blog post about my throw back Thursday picture, So in the future i can look back on this and smile! :) 



Josh and I first met at a grocery store in 2006, i was a sixteen years old, with braces and just starting my very first job. I remember the first day working i was getting a tour of the store and i remember Josh stalking the shelves with cans of soup, i only barley got a glimpse of him but i noticed he did have really nice hair.  Through out the day i bagged peoples grocery towards the end of the day i needed to put the go backs away, i had no idea where most of them went.. i wondered around the store hoping to find where the food went. i turned around the isle and there was Josh walking right past me as he said hey in a manly deep voice, i being the shy sixteen year old with braces didn't say a thing.. I know i know its pretty rude, but as corny as this sounds he really took my breath away haha seriously though.. while i was working one night josh had came in on his day off to buy drinks, he came through the line that i was bagging in and while i was just standing there cause he didn't want a bag, he than turned to me and said i like your hair... hahaha i than again didn't say one word and i actually just walked away and scuzzed him off! ( why i did that i have no idea) I was so nervous around him, and i usually wasn't like that.. i would have considered myself kinda a flirt. but i was totally different around Josh, i would get so shy and not know what to say and sometimes even sweat! haha! Well after a fews weeks working there, one of the other grocery guys came up to me and wanted me to try this drink in the back.. So as i was walking back there with this kid and Josh, Josh turns to me asks me if i knew this girl that went to my school.. she was a year older than me and i for sure that it was his girlfriend.. i told him i knew of her and than that was that conversation. Still wondering if he had a girlfriend or not.. Well after a couple months had past, Josh and I really only said hey to each other when we worked together. On one special day, i wondered the isle trying to find fruit snacks to eat on my lunch and of course Josh was down that isle facing it... He said "Hey" to me and than we had maybe our second conversation ever... After we talked for a few minutes he casual asked me for my number so we could hang out sometime... Oh my heck, i so excited and nervous, I probably had the biggest smile on my face! After i gave him my number, i went back to work.. as soon as he got off work i went to the bathroom and read my first text message from him.. haha I was so happy! 

So after a week of texting he asked me if he could take me on a date.. Well this story gets even better, the day of our date someone at work had told me it was his birthday that day.. i thought it was so weird that he was taking me out on a date on his birthday.. I sure as heck wasn't complainin though.. He picked me up at my house and that is the picture below, my brother had taken the picture and told Josh that this was in case he needed to hunt him down in the future, what an awesome and protective brother! 
Josh took me to Applebees, and than we went to his friends house to watch the UFC fights.. It was a very fun night. Josh opened my door and walked me to the door at the end of the night. I remember not really saying much.. he was just too good looking, he made me nervous! This was almost 7years ago! Gosh, how time flies!

Hallie is 6 months



          I can't believe that my baby is already 6 months old!  Pretty soon she is going to be a year old and walking and talking.. ha im very excited for when that happens! I love this stage, you start seeing there personalities and they are learning so much! She is the sweetest baby, before i got prego Josh and I discussed how many kids we wanted and we would jump around from having only one baby to maybe three, but than we would aways jump back to having one.. I think God blessed us with an amazing baby so we will have more.. haha She is really the best baby, and i won't lie it makes Josh and I want alot more than just one! So we will see, i love babies so im thinking maybe two more would be great, i gotta have me a mini boy version of Josh, since Hallie is pretty much a mini girl version of her daddy! She has two teeth on the bottom popping through! She had her six month appointment yesterday and she is doing great! We love our doctor she is always so jiddery and happy, she answers all my questions i have! So glad we have a pediatrician that is awesome!   



                                                           She's a little Diva! haha

Tribute to my Sister Christine



    
   
When the month of September comes, I get so excited and a little emotional. I feel special that me and my twin brother have our birthdays this month and my older sisters is two days before mine and my brothers. I get a little emotional knowing that i have an older sister that i have never met before.  When i was younger and i remember my mom talking about Christine to me, and i remember not understanding why. I remember when i was ten years old right after my grandma passed away with cancer, i would kneel down and pray every night before bed and i would ask him to tell them i said hi and that i loved them both so much. I've always wondered what she looks like or what her personality is like. I bet she is beautiful inside and out. I know that she is watching over me and my brothers and sisters. And i cant wait for that day i get to met her and give her the biggest hug! Keeping watching over us! :)

                                       So to my sweet sister Christine Happy Birthday! :)
