Our New Truck

Jody and I have been looking for a good 4 wheel drive for a while now! We have decided we need one due to the snow and for Jody to go racing as much as he wants! We found a GREAT deal on a Black Lariat F-150 in Hurricane, UT!! It has all the little extra's that Jody wanted so he was excited! We drove down together today to pick it up and I really didn't want to do that whole drive back and forth in one day thing, but Jody told me he would buy me In-N-Out so I was sold! It was really so much fun taking the day off from work and going on a little road trip!!!! The things I do for In-N-Out....it's seriously SAD!!
And the weather was gorgeous!!

He was SO excited...

Seriously??

So....Anyone who knows us, knows we have been wanting a baby for a good year now! We have been so patient and are fully aware that it takes alot of couples some time to concieve at first! We went to see our Specialist and he is absolutely wonderful!! He always assures us that we are two great healthy people who will eventually conieve, but it does take time at first for some couples! Luckily, we both know that there is a plan and a family waiting to come down to join us but its all within the Lord's timing! That makes everything ok! ....Jody and I are loving our time with just the two of us, going on great vacations, loving our jobs, and trying to strengthen our weaknesses so we can be the best parents we possible can for our future family!

In the meantime, the Doctor gave ME some requirements that I need to meet to help make things hopefully more successful and me more healthy!! He told me he has had great success rates on doing all of these steps! Seriously???...........Ha, while Jody gets to continue being a daily "Pepsi/Red Bull/Monsters/RockStars/No Fear" drinker, (which he's cut back a TON, just for this reason....SOO grateful for that!!) living life as normal, I am busy on my 10 step plan! He's been great to go to the gym in the morning's with me but when we eat dinner, and he orders Pepsi....that's when I get jealous! That's okay though!! They are all great things that I need to put in my life anyways, so I'm excited to get in the best shape possible!!! Here we go!

Amy's Daily Steps......
1. Drink a gallon of water a day, 1/2 by noon, and the other 1/2 by 6:00 pm! (Is this possible?)

2. Exercise a minimun of 3 days a week!

3. Take a MILLION vitamins! B vitamins, Pernantals, Multi-Vitamins, all the above!

4. Eat healthy foods, spinach, salads, WATER!!, fruits, and veggies!

5. Take Fertility Pills 5 days a month!

6. Dont Stress! Minimum of 30 mins baby talk per week....(Really? Don't Strees? Let's be honest!)

7. Certain Tricks..... (You all know what I mean!)

8. Ovalarian Tube Surgery Test....(Painful!)

9. Take a bath weekly and a massage montly to relieve stress!! (I'm ok with this!!)

10. Find out my Ovulating Days with Ovulation Sticks....
(Ovulation Test and Pregnancy tests, have officially became a Montly Bill!)

So...... When I first got this list, My Doctor and I were in a fight, (not really!!) but I've decided to be positive and be thankful that there are simple things I can do to help the long journey be more succesful!! I'm excited if anything else to just be healthy and get in shape! Can't be that bad of a plan right? ....BUT, just wanted to remind everyone who can have kids easily, to be FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!!!

YaY...a BBQ!!

Gotta love BBQ nights!! We finally put together our BBQ that we recieved from Jody's family at Christmas!! We Love It!!! Jody made a great Sunday dinner for us... with yummy steaks, potatoes and baked beans! Thanks Leavitt Family for the great present!!

He was glad to finish putting this together...

Lately, the winter has been so great up here! All the snow had pretty much melted by Saturday afternoon and it hadn't been that cold! Yesterday, reality hit us....we had SO much snow! Here's a picture of our backyard while we were out BBQ'ing! Our poor dogs hate the winters here but here is Frank in the snow!!!

Church Ball...

The lastest excitment in our lives is Jody joining the church ball team!! YAY...!! He's loving it!!! Each ward in the stake has a team and they play every Friday night!! Today was his first game and he did great!! It really is fun being a spectator at these events...Ha, men from all different ages getting fired up in church ball, (gotta love it!)!! Here are a few pictures of the Cherry Hill 5th Ward team!! We are going to miss the great times in our ward!!! It truly has been a great one...





































Final Score....We Won!! 29-25

Lately...

So...I have been lacking on the blog posts! We have been so busy with the little things in life I seem to never get the free time to catch up!

Jody and I have been doing great! Last weekend, all of Jody's buddies (Ben Flynn, Taylor Anderson, Jared Hickman, and Tyler Waite) came up and stayed with us for the weekend and went snowboarding in Park City...Jody had never been before, and of course they took him to the Black Diamond Slope, (the most intense slope on the mountain)! Luckily, he used great judgement and did most of the video taping on the side why the boys (who had the experience) did their crazy tricks!! We had a good time at dinner and enjoyed the company...So thanks everyone for the great time!!

(I will try to get the video downloaded of the great adventure!!)

2009....

We are so excited for the New Year!!!! It feels so good to start out fresh again, especially after the crazy holidays!! We have set some really great New Year Resolution's so we are hoping this year we can accomplish them all! So Far, So Good, Ha...for the 7 days we are already in!!

Jody's been having this theory forever that 2009 is going to be our year to have great things happen. I really hope he's right!! We are ready for some great changes. He is launching his own business with MWI, the second week of January down in Pheonix, AZ. He has been working so hard on it and I wish him the best of luck and I am so proud of him with sticking it out and getting it ready to start the new year out right! I'm buying my second piece of real estate (with the help of my wonderful husband) down in Spanish Fork, UT! It's an older home that needs some attention but we got a great deal. Luckily we are pro movers...since we love to move about every 6 months (not really!!) but it will be nice to have a project for a while! We are starting to really love Utah (which I never thought would happen!) and we love our ward, so we will be sad to move but excited to get out of the city and live in Spanish! And last but definitly not least, we are hoping to be pregnant sometime this year! We feel ready and will be excited to expand our family when it does eventually come! So, we are excited for all the changes, physically, emotionally, and spiritually and wish everyone a the best in 2009!!

Finally Some Snow...

We had snow!!!! I don't know why I'm so excited about it, but I was! There wasn't to much but I thought the mountains looked so beautiful as always so I had to snap a picture on my way to work!!
