Jamba Juice LOVER

There a few things in life that just go with being pregant... jamba juice is one of them. It's cold and refreshing and seems to be the perfect fit eating. Most the time eating just makes me mad, cause I feel sick afterward, regaudless of what I just ate. So, needless to say... I love my "juice". Well as it turns out, so does Memphis! You should have seen her, she had one taste and I never really got it back. Brain freeze and all she just kept drinking.

Heart Burn anyone????

speaking of things that a prego girl cant live without... Memphis is obbessed with my tums. One might run and save their child from such behavior, but no... we choose to grab the camera instead.

more memphis madness

we call her tornado... for good reason

This was a typical Sunday afternoon... Memphis here, there and EVERYHWERE!!!!

lots of babies...

lauren was in town for the 4th of July, and we were able to go to her baby shower while she was here... so we caught the family pregoness in action!!!!

Umm, Hello?

Ok ok, so can I please have the award that goes to the worst blogger ever? It's been a crazy few months. First of all... WE MOVED. We now live in Riverton with my mom. We have over taken the basement and saving some money to buy a house. Yea! It's been fun to have so many extra hands to help with Memphis. It will be even more nice when baby #2 moves in too. Which by the way is only four weeks away! WHoooo hoooo! Memphis still isnt walking, just crusin' the furniture and standing when shes not paying attention. Dont you worry, she is still into everything despite the fact she's not walking. She loves purses... so if your near by, gaurd it with your life. She can have your wallet emptied in 2.4 seconds. Mike and I celebrated our two year anniversay in June. It's hard to believe... but it's true. I made him a video and will posted it tomorrow after google approves it. It's "processing" in their world right now. So things are still the same, only a lot diffrent. LOL.
I'll be better, now that the video is finally done. As for now... I'll just post a few updates... play a little catch up.

Jen and Ben

Jen got married on June 5th. It turned out to be the most beautiful day. I am so happy for her and Ben (minus the fact that she is now 10 hours away).

Wedding Hair

I was lucky enough to be Jen's "hair dresser" for her wedding. This was the day we took her bridals. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun for me to be a part of.

If you like what you see... good-it's the only up do I know how to do. :)


You will NEVER guess who gave her this idea...


Oh yeah, and here is where Jen and I perfected such an up do...

This is my cousin Lauren, who married Jen's little brother... turns out we do one good wedding up do AND make GREAT match makers!!!!

Are YOU man enough?

For Chases birthday we all went to Fuddruckers.

So the boys decided they were going to do the 1 pound callange. Mike finished first, then Nick and Chase at times didnt think he could do it... DID it! I guess thats exciting, right? The meal consised of 1 lb of beef, a giant bun (im talking huge), cheese fries with bacon bits (sick) and ice cream. It was A LOT of food... but they did it and now have the shirts to prove it. Good job boys.



Oh yeah, the next day... NICK was really really sick!

The Host

In May, Marie who is married to Brett (my best friend from HS) got to take a trip to Utah minus kids and husband to go to the Stephenie Meyer book signing for The Host. Thank you Brett. :)

I couldnt believe how many people were there. It was fun to see and meet her. We tried taking pictures, but it was not easy and they didnt turn out the greatest but we had a really good time! Thanks Marie... It was a fun day.



Side note: Nevermind the fact that it's taking me a really really long time to read the book. It's very diffrent from the Twilight Series and I am TIRED... a lot. Go figure. No worries, I'll get through it eventually. (I just hope it's before Breaking Dawn)

happy birthday memphis!

Our Little Ducks Fan... just like her daddy.

It's hard to believe it's been a year already!

We had her birthday party on Saturday... it started as a BBQ, but it was a little on the chili side, so we finished with the cake and presents at Grandma Straw's house. Memphis wasn't so sure of the singing and everyone staring at her. It was actaully pretty funny. I really thought she would dig right into the cake, but i was WRONG. It's ok... it left more cake for me! Ha!



It was a fun weekend... I never knew when people said "they grow up fast" that they meant THIS fast.

Baby Towels

Giraffe Bath Time

I catch myself taking pictures often of Memphis in her towels... she just looks so cute...

Happy Easter

For Easter we took Kyah and Memphis to have their pictures taken... it's fun to take them together. It wasnt the greatest shoot ever, but still cute!




Look how much they have both changed since July...

double trouble

Memphis and Kyah so a lot of fun to watch...sit back and enjoy the show. As they are getting old they are interacting more and more.

Mission Reunion

One of my favorite people in the whole world, would HAVE to be my mission president. This years reunion was an all president reunion... so it was long, but a good time. It's always nice to see old friends, catch up and laugh the night away.

I left on my mission 8 years ago! How can that be???
I learned a lot and got to teach some amazing people...but mostly I love my mission family and the bond that unites us forever.

Look how cute! Mike was such a good sport.

Cousin Fun...

two little munchkins... having a good ol' time at Costco! :)
