Just a little update on life!

Just a little update since it's been a bit. Jon's eye looks soo much better, it's pretty much healed all but a little bruising, thanks to everyone for their concerns! We are still on the job hunt for him, he didn't get the one job in Cedar City that we were hoping for but hopefully something better will arise. It would have been pretty good pay but the commute would have been rough. He had an interview today so we'll see if/where that heads, it isn't a great job but will be something anyway if he can get it, until then we keep looking...
In other thoughts, pregnancy is going good, I'm just past 37 weeks now. Had a doctor appointment this morning and am already dialated to a 3 and 80% effaced so hopefully everything will go smoothly these last few weeks for us. I don't see how I can get much bigger, I feel like a whale, literally like a pumpkin under my shirt. But it's close, so I'm just trying to prepare myself for our soon to be big change..
Zoey is doing great with her potty training and it's GREAT! She honestly goes to the bathroom like 100 times a day and will ask to go like 5 times if we are out anywhere with half the time if we talk to her she won't do anything, but at least she is going in the potty and not in a diaper.
Ella is growing up so fast. She is so silly, she has lately got this little forced laugh that she'll do and will get me and Jon going sometimes with her silliness. She can always make me happy on some of my roughest days.
We are doing a substitute paper route for a guy to get some money. So far we've done 10 days. It's a struggle on our already messed up schedule but it's money and temporary. Not sure for when the guy is coming back, I think sometime around the week of the 6th.. Idk. I've got a few things waiting to do with vinyl once I get another roll in, we are awaiting another color that I am hoping will match. I love to work with the vinyl just so indecisive on what to make!! If you haven't already I've got a blog attatched to this one kinda with some of the things I've done. I had thought a while back about all the people selling their cars so I got some white vinyl and made a few little cards/ads to stick around with cars for sale with the shoe polish painted look, but so far no one has called. I thought it was a good idea anyway..
We have our up and down days but all in all I am grateful for all the we do have. We have a wonderfully supportive network of family and friends that we would just be lost without. We are so lucky to live in the house that we do and that we have each other. There has been so much tragedy just in the area around us with accidents and multiple family members dying (car wreck killing mother/son, plane crash killing 10, two of which were father/daughter and father/son). I am so grateful to wake up everyday with Jon by my side and my two beautiful girls. I wouldn't know what to do without them or my family lives so close.
Anywho, pregnancy heartburn calls loudly for tums.... :) Ta ta for now

Eventful Softball Game..

Well Jon plays on a National Guard Softball team and tonight we had to leave early.. this is after about 2 hours of having ice on it so it looks probably 90% better than it did at the game. He took these self portraits with his phone. Jon says "at least we won both games!"

Horray!

Well I am not sure how it started this time because it feels we have never stopped trying, but Zoey seems to be well on her way to being potty trained!!!! She hasn't peed (or otherwise) in a diaper during the day in a whole week. I still put pull-ups on her when we leave the house just in case of accidents but she has been so great about going on her own and telling us if she needs help. I am so proud of her. I thought this would never be over and I was so worried about the soon to be big change and having THREE in diapers.. so now at least we are hopefully going to be down to only two. I've read not to push them until they are two so I'm holding off on Ella for now, just gotta get her to GO to sleep in her crib and that'll be two of my major 'try to do/need to do' before baby comes things checked off. So far right now Ella will fall asleep in my bed with me (and Jon when he's home) and then we will carry her to her crib which she sleeps all night. We dont do anything special to get Ella to fall asleep, so I just have to get her to go to sleep in her own bed... So anyway. Horray for Zoey!! She is getting so big I am so proud of her.

Wedding memories...

Well a friend of mine(Suzie!) had this in her blog and I thought it was cute, got me thinkin of my wedding so decided to fill it out too...Just thinking of it I attatched a photo from our wedding to go along with all the little details and stuff.. :)

1 -What month were you married in?May

2- How did he ask you? He never did really, we just kinda planned it.. Idk sounds stupid now..

3- Where did you Honeymoon? We didn't, maybe when we are like 50 we can take a vacation together if we make it that long and call it our honeymoon hehe

4- Can you still fit your dress? No! I was teeny then, I barely fit in it the day of the wedding i think haha. I've still got it though.

5- What was the worst gift you got? I don't like to say anything was the worst gift, we appreciate anyone even getting us anything!

6- What flavor was your wedding cake? White, I think? I only had the bite Jon fed me.

7- Where you a bridezilla? I dont think so, it was fun! I would love to plan weddings!

8- What is one thing you would change about your wedding?I would make our photographer take pics another day or something.. we didn't get to eat or really talk to any of our guests because we were always being pulled into pics. And I would want better more candid pics.. we have a ton of those me and so and so, then add one person, then one more.. so they all look about the same just with diff people in them. One of my favorite pictures wasn't even planned, just me and my dad talking and he came over and snapped a pic of us.

9- Do you still look at your wedding pictures? Yes, we both look so young and skinny! (me anywho..)

10- What colors did you use? Yellow were the dresses and things and spring colors/flowers

11- Where were you married? The Kentucky Horse Park

12- What's one funny thing that happened that day? The worms and bugs! Anyone that was there could probably remember the little fly type bugs stuck in my veil and dress (all 13 layers) and the weird catepillar worms that were everywhere that year. Oh, and to try to keep my flowers fresh looking we had put them in a cooler and they had touched the ice and like killed/browned half the roses.. so we had to adjust them in some pics to always have the ugly side towards me.. :P

13- How many showers did you have? none

14- Loss any friends over you r wedding? yes kinda, just a girl that I worked with didnt wanna be in the wedding because she wanted to spend time with her boyfriend that day.

15- Did you give any wedding favors? No.. Our wedding was kinda laid back casual I think.. We didn't have anything too fancy.

16- Who caught the flowers and garters? Don't really remember.. I think Jon's neice Devin caught the flowers..

17- Who was your officiant? Our good family friend 'Rev'. He is one of Jon's friends dad kinda.

18- How much was your dress undergarments and all? I honestly don't remember, I did buy the first dress I tried on though.. not that day but we looked and looked and ended up going back, I wanted the big fairytale looking bottom. And I wore just white flipflops hehe.

19- Was there dancing? No, we were in the middle of a field!

20- Where was the reception? We didn't have one.. kinda another thing I would change maybe.. but it was still good I think. Did the job anywho.. hehe

21- Would you go back and do it all again? Yea, there are a few things I would change but not much, i loved the simplicity of it but would have been more prepared and organized.

22- How long did you have to plan the wedding? Gosh i don't know! It wasn't that long anyway..

23- What kind of car were you in when you drove away? We had to stay and clean up after everyone left but Jon's mom let us drive her White Malibu home.. we were exhausted, his little brother followed in our car.

24- How many people in your wedding party? 8(4 for Jon and 4 on my side) plus Hali and Zeke

25- Did you do anything different in your wedding for reception? no...

26 - Did you save the to layer of your wedding cake for one year later? Yes but we moved and it thawed out and got yucky so we threw it away, never ate it.

27- If you saved it, did you eat it? see above!

28- How much was the grand total of your wedding? Not too sure - but everyone helped us out a lot! My mom helped me with the fruit/veggie trays the night before making and putting them together and bought us subway subs to have there at the wedding and then I think she helped pay off the last $100 on my dress too.. and my friend Tina's aunt made the cake for us but I don't remember how much she charged.. , Jon's brother-inlaw made us our wedding rings as a gift! I did the wedding invitations at a print shop for not too much..and thank you notes were just purchased, Suzie's mom (and suzie maybe.. I forget!) Made our ring pillow which turned out WAY cute just like I wanted(without the big lace and stuff.. simple yet cute!) We went to a hair school for the girls and my hair to save money but still be fancy, I got dresses borrowed from Tina's wedding and Trisha's wedding (we all had yellow hehe) Oh, and my mom helped me make my flowers and things for the guys and my boquet the night before too.. All in all it was stressful but fun, everyone helped us out a ton,I think it turned out nice!
