Blog Slacking...

I have NO excuse for my blog slacking!! I guess other prioriteis have takin' place but we are really doing GREAT! First of all, the weather is GORGEOUS and we are soaking it all up!! I love spring/summer time!! Everything seems prettier and people seem so much nicer... I don't know why but I LOVE it! :)


Jody started in the Orem Community Softball League where he plays every Monday night so he is loving that.. and I love going with the dogs and watching him!

We are also counting down the days for SUPERCROSS this year!

We are hoping to make it because last year, we missed it and it was a rough day for Jody! Ha.. He was so sad but I was able to get the weekend off and we are hoping he can too!

What a Beautiful Spring Day....

I woke up this morning....and here's my yard!

What a Beautiful Spring Day....

Honestly, is it December or April?!? We really only get 2 seasons here.... Winter or Summer! Take your pick, because that's literally ALL you get!! :)

ALSO...

I know it's THURSDAY but this week is really dragging on! Jody and I had such a great weekend together and being at home made it absolutely perfect! We got back late Sunday and Jody flew out to Phoenix early Monday for work! He REALLY didn't want to go... Usually his business trips last for a day or two, but this one goes clear until Saturday!! Can I really make it until then?!? Ha... I've been making new dinner recipes, cleaning my house spotless (and even a little shopping!!!).... and it's just not going by! We are both counting down the days and it really is almost over but I will be so READY to see him!!!

LUCKILY!!!!! I have some great friends up here, who knew Jody was going out of town and they had a great night planned!! We went to Karaoke Night at Applebee's and had a great girls night crashing at my place! It was fun to hang out with them and catch up on all there doing!! Thanks Crystal and Lisa for the fun night!

HOME...

We finally made it down to Logandale!!!!! YAY!!! We have been trying to get home for a couple months now and it seems to never work out everytime we would get a free weekend!! Luckily, we made it down for the Fair which we were really excited about! We really look forward to it every year so we can see lots of family and great friends who we haven't seen in forever! We went Friday and Saturday and had a great time eating YUMMY Fair Food, and watching the great entertainment they always have!

Saturday, we had a Family Brunch for EASTER with all my brothers!! It was so nice to visit with everyone! Ella was the center of attention and she was loving it!!!! She has so much personality and is so stinkin cute! (Even Jody, who gets terrified of little babies...couldn't resist!!) He asked Ashley if he could hold her, and loved playing with her! It was really cute becasue normally....Jody would NEVER ask and he gets so scared with little ones but he did GREAT with her!

ALSO....Jody was in HEAVEN with the GREAT Nevada Weather!! He was so excited to get down there and ride for a couple hours! He was definitley due for a good ride and I'm glad he was able to go enjoy it...

The Month of April...

We are so excited for the month of APRIL!! We are making a huge decision that we have been contemplating for a while, and it will be great to see where it leads us!
It's my BIRTHDAY on the 5th! YAY!!! That's not really the excitement of the month but you gotta love birthdays!
What is so exciting is....that for my birthday, we decided to take our next step in the Fertility Process!!! We both can't wait!! It's so expensive to do anything! Just to talk to our doctor for 30 mins is 175$! BUT...he gave us a great deal on artificial insemination so we thought that would be a great place to put our money for a birthday gift this year! We are trying SO SO HARD to not get our hopes up but just can't help that maybe great things could happen by the end of next month! We have prayed long and hard about procedure's and what we should do from here and we feel strongly that giving artificial insemination a shot, would be a great place to continue!
So.... lots of mixed emotions right now for Jody and I, but we know if we keep trying to do what's right, the Lord will hopefully bless us!!

The only place in this crazy world....

Jody and I have put off going to the temple for WAY to long! We have no kids, nights and weekends are mostly free, and we have one that's maybe 5 minutes away, so there is definitely NO EXCUSE!! It seems like everytime we plan, somehow we never make it, but everytime we go, it is such a GREAT, GREAT experience!! We have had so much to be thankful for and we're glad we have been able to make it monthly like we should! It brings so much joy into our lives and how comforting it is to know there's one place in this crazy world we can go and reflect on everything that's important!

A Great Weekend....

Jody and I have been SOO busy lately! Life has been crazy, crazy, but we are so thankful for all the new changes! Jody is doing great at work! He just designed a real estate coaching package for today's market and it's AWESOME!!! They are selling like crazy! I can't believe the things he puts together and how he makes it all work! Amazing!!! I wish him luck in Chicago this week and wish I could go with him but I'm stuck with work this week too!

We are also busy working on our latest rental property! I'm loving all the remodeling we are doing!! It was okay when we bought it, but since we are going to live in it for a little while, we are trying to make it as "HOMIE" as we possibly can! We have been spending all nights after work painting, ordering furniture, and finishing the batheroom but we are really enjoying it!

And last, it was so good to see Alyssa this weekend! Nothing is better then seeing old friends and picking up right where you left off! We had such a good time and appreciated her and Chelsey TONS for the help down at our new place!

Thanks for the visit Alyssa and can't wait til you move here in August!

Finally a Nephew :)

Ethan James Bowler was born on Feburary 23rd!! We are so excited to have a little boy in the family!! We spent all weekend at Nate and Lezlee's hanging out with my nieces and helping out where we could! My parents also came up and it was all a great time!!

While the other girls were at school, Becca was posing for the camera! She's such a fun girl!




Jody and I had a busy weekend besides being with the new baby! I posted ALL my furniture on KSL and it sold in minutes!! (Not a good sign... I probably should have sold them for more but oh well!!) We sold our TV, our Sectional, our 2 black leather couches, dining table, desk, and seriously everything else!! Jody and I are moving next month and we are going from a 3 story house to a lot smaller place!! We are really excited to get down there and fix it up to have another rental property but it will be an adjustment for a while!!! :)
