Really late B-day pic's :)

Well it took a very long time to get my b-day pic's from Keri.. But here they are! It was a lot of fun.. it was back in March.. lol

Bubbles...

Oh my Lexi is so funny!! I walked in the bathroom the other night.. and she was covered in bubbles.. She always thinks that she needs more and more.. And of course Jonathon took his eyes off her for one second, and she poured more bubbles :) It was too funny! And lately she has started to make the funniest faces, she always makes me laugh..

Good news!

Well do you want the good news? OR the good news?

Well the good news is that we GOT THE HOUSE! Yay! We get to move in on June 1st...
The other good news is that I got a great job in which I only work from 7:30 am to 1:30 and have the whole rest of my day with Alexis! I am a receptionist at a medical office in Lehi. It is called Dry Creek family practice, and then in the same office they also offer Laser and Aesthetics! I want to be an Aesthetician someday so I am so excited that I get to work in an office that does it! I get all and any Laser Hair Removal treatments for free!! And then any other service like facials, or chemical peels and things, we get a really good discount! For a pedicure we only pay like $11 I think. And our immediate family members a.k.a Mom, and Sisters :) get 50% of most procedures! So I'm excited..

Weekend in Ticaboo...

We got to go down to Ticaboo this weekend, and had a great time hanging out! Jonathon had a great time riding his bike all weekend, and the girls had fun visiting! I got to hold Nicole a lot and just love her to death.. Alexis is such a big help with Nicole and is always wanting to be near her. I didn't take my camera, so I guess this picture that Kelly took will have to do. Thanks so much guys for letting us come and stay for a couple days! We had tons of fun :)

Okay.. So we put an offer in on a house in Saratoga Springs today.. Wish us luck :)

Lots and Lots of pics!

Alexis and her many faces! She is squeezing the life out of Nicole.. Poor baby..

Alexis was with her Bumpa all weekend! She wouldn't let him out of her sight..

I love these two!

Combing the hair!

Bummy Ree and Alexis..

My baby girl!

Lexi and Baby Cole :)

Oh boy does Alexis just love her little cousin.. She was putting stickers all over her! She just loves to help with Nicole, it is the cutest thing.. She will make a great big sister someday. Nicole is such a cutie pie...

Draper scenery!

We have really enjoyed living in Draper.. It is absolutely beautiful! We can see the Draper temple when we go to the park across the street! Alexis just loves playing at this park :)

I'm gonna be a Supermodel!

Alexis is such a character! She is always making funny faces.. and just being silly :) Alexis has a neat trick in which she can touch her tongue to her nose! She does it all the time, and is very proud of her trick! She is so much fun :) I love you baby girl..

~Happy Mother's Day~

We were lucky enough to have my mom up here to visit this weekend and have her here on Mother's Day! My mom is the most amazing mom in the whole world! She would do absolutely anything for us kids :) We've always be very close to my mom, and have always been able to tell her anything! She is my best friend, and someone that I look up to in every way! She is an awesome cook, and Jonathon tells me all the time.. that I need to learn how to make her Enchiladas! My mom had kids at a very young age, and somehow managed to have a 5 year old, a 7 month old, and twins all at the same time! I always tell her there is no way I could have done it. I love my mom so much, and hope that she knows that! My mom has always made sure to share her testimony with her children and has helped build mine.. She is an amazing person, and I hope that I can always be the example to Lexi, that my mom was and is to me! WE LOVE YOU MOM! Happy Mother's Day!

Weekend!

We had a fun weekend! On Friday night we went to dinner at Chili's with one of my friends from work, her boyfriend, and another couple.. Alexis even got to come, and my co-worker brought her little boy! We had a really great time and laughed a lot! Jonathon made a new dirt bike riding buddy.. and had a good time making plans to go riding! After dinner we ended up just going home and watching a movie together.. On Saturday I went with Jonathon to do a few estimates he had to do for the Tile business, and then we went out to Saratoga Springs to visit with his Uncle and Aunt. We played Fuse Ball, and Jonathon and I kicked butt! Alexis played with Aleah, and we snacked and visited. After church yesterday we visited with Jonathon's mom and then went home and made Steak Fajitas! I love them!
My parents might come up this weekend for our cousins wedding and I really hope they do! Keri, my mom and dad, and Derek all went to Ticaboo this last weekend.. I'm sad I didn't get to go :( But hopefully I'll get down there soon to see the cute little Nicole!

It's already MAY???

I can't believe that it is already May 1st... What the heck? Where does time go?

I have been working for Premier Mentoring (our company sells real estate programs, I DON'T sell though, just do Orientations!) since Feb 24th and am just now starting to get used to working again.. LOL! I think I got a little spoiled when we lived in Ticaboo. I started working a little after a month after Jonathon bought Precision Tile. The main reason for me working is so that we can buy a house while the market is SO DANG CHEAP!! And so that Jonathon could get the business up and going! It would've been kind of hard on him to have to do the business stuff and work to... So he actually stays home with Alexis!! He does the majority of the business stuff from the phone or computer, so he can stay with her wich is the ONLY WAY I can work and be okay with it. There is just NO WAY I could send her off to a day care or something. So the deal is that when Jonathon starts getting busy to where he can't give her his FULL ATTENTION.. than I quit! For the first month of me working.. I cried almost every morning when I had to roll out of my comfy bed and leave my beautiful baby girl :( But I keep going because I really really want a house.. And I get Health Ins. in a month! (so we can start trying for another little angel from heaven!) So those are the reason's I get up every morning! The girls that I work with are really awesome and I'm so glad that they make me laugh all day! One of the girls I work with is a single mom, and her little boy does go to day care. Anytime I start complaining about not being home with Alexis she reminds me that other people have it way worse.. And that my little girl is home with her Daddy and not some stranger..

Jonathon is starting to get very busy, and we are taking every day at a time.. He knows that when he can't give Alexis his full attention that I will no longer work. So we want to get into a house soon!

I know that I could probably complain a lot about me working, but I am so blessed with what we have! I don't have to work like some people do, I work because I want to, and that makes it better.. I know that if I can stick it out that we will be able to accomplish the things that we want to! So it is a sacrafice, but if I get a house and a baby out of it.. IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT!

It is so hard as a mom to not feel so guilty that I'm not at home with my little girl, and it still just kills me some days when she asks me over and over not to go :( It just breaks my heart.. But I know that if me working helps Jonathon focus on the business that is starting to really take off! Then I'll get to stay home with all my children forever!! I've never had to be away from Alexis, I've been so blessed that at such a young age Jonathon has always been able to provide for us, in every situation! But it is my turn to do something for him :) It is a good thing I have so much faith in him.. and I know that the business is going to be successful.. or I probably wouldn't be able to make it through the day... He always says if we want the life we know we want.. that right now we have to make sacrafices. I'm just so glad that he is home with Alexis!

You can tell that she is a lot more attached to her daddy now! She loves being able to hang out with him, and he has loved it so much! Sometimes I wonder how men go their whole lives as the bread winner.. and work so hard to provide for their families. It is so crazy to me. Just is to much pressure for me... I COULD NOT do it.

I don't think I have ever heard my dad complain about having to work, he is such a hard worker.. it is almost unbelievable. We always had everything we needed and more.. Jonathon says we were all very spoiled! My mom was home with us till we were in high school and then just worked part time for a little bit. My dad has always done hard labor jobs and I just want him to know how grateful I am for everything he did for our family.. and the hard worker he still is today. I'm so blessed that I married someone that knows exactly what he wants in life.. and knows that he will not settle. A lot of people can't believe that he is a business owner at such a young age... But he wouldn't want it any other way. I love you babe so much!!

Okay so I didn't mean to write a novel, but I thought that I'd just let everyone know what I'd been up to. I'm so excited to start looking for a house soon. And I'm excited that Jonathon is getting busier because that means that the business is doing good! With the economy and so many people without jobs.. I just cannot complain, therefore I'm going to say that Life is Great! I have a good job, I make pretty good money to just sit around and play on the computer.. and I work with great people! I know that I am contributing to us getting a house :) YAY! and yeah I think that is all.

Sorry so long :)
