So this weekend was Jed's Birthday and Easter so we had lots going on! I love being with our families-- nothing is better than just hanging around and laughing with everyone, making memories, and loving on our nieces and nephews. The hubby turned the big 2-6! What a fabulous guy he is... I love every little thing about him!!! Mmm I love my husband!

I made him carry this cupcake around for a bit... ha

Happy Birthday, Husband

Thanksgiving & Tree Hunting

2009-11-29T17:33:00.010-07:00

This year we had Thanksgiving with my family up at my grandparent's cabin in Bear Lake. Ash and Ty were with Ty's family and Britt and Jer were with Jer's family. We missed them! But we had lots of fun with everyone that was there! The next day we went and cut down our Christmas Tree! One of my favorite traditions!

Halloween

2009-11-01T17:04:00.001-07:00

October is "National Beard Month" and the past 2 years Jed has felt the need to grow a beard... This Halloween our costumes were inspired by his beard because by the end of the month I thought he looked homeless. Ha! We had a fun and busy Halloween season. My family dressed up and went to the pumpkin walk in Logan and had soup and a little party afterwards. Every year Jed's Grandma Taggart throws a big Halloween party and we dress up and have dinner. On Halloween I helped Dani and Thomas with their makeup & costumes again and we had the usual trick-or-treaters and the only trick-or-treaters we ever get... Adam, Haylee, Kyla, and Laici. Jed's mom & dad. Tyler, Ash, Chloee, and Grant and a surprise visit when Jer, Britt, Halley, Brin, and Cash showed up at the door. Later on Jed, my dad, and Jer attempted to scare a few of my Aunts and Uncles and then we hung out at my grandma Hardy's for a bit.

This October we went with some of Jed's family to Yellowstone for a couple of days. It was Jed's parents, Jed's sister Kristi - her hubby BJ - and their kids Brayden Adi and Jace and Jed and myself. We had tons of fun together! It was my first time there and Jed had not been since he was younger and he was super excited to be able to take me. It is a gorgeous place!!! We love the fall and thought it was the perfect time to be there! I now know why it is my mother-in-law Connie's favorite place in the world! I LOVED it! I can't wait for us to go back!

Bear Lake in August

2009-08-29T14:43:00.000-06:00

Every summer around my Mom and Ash's birthday we go to Bear Lake... this year it was just a couple weeks after their birthday. It was the last ha rah for the summer and we took the boat up and we were all ready for some fun in the sun and it was a tad too chilly so we did a little hot tubbing and just made the most of our time together!

Funny story behind the next few pictures... this little cow is just down town in front of one of the shops/restaurants... Me and Reese got left a little behind while she was playing with the cow and I was taking some pics....

...Well this is where she waved me over and INSISTED that she take a picture of me...

... It was hilarious, pretty good for a 3 year old!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY... she was just a little shocked!

So Long Sweet Summer...

2009-08-23T16:47:00.006-06:00

Jed's grandparents both turned 80 this year! Grandma & Grandpa Taggart's birthdays are just a few weeks apart so there was a big party planned to celebrate them both! They even had some of their old friends and siblings there. 80 years is a pretty big deal!!!

A great couple!

School

2009-03-21T14:05:00.004-06:00

I am finally starting the Master Esthetician program at Taylor Andrews in about 1 1/2 weeks. Yay! I am soooooo excited!!!!!!!!! Finally! It will be a busy year... I will still be working full time and going to school at night Monday - Thursday. But I have to do it NOW because it's only going to get harder and it is what I have been wanting to do for some time! I will miss my lazy nights at home with the hubby though. But it won't be so bad when Jed is going to school at night too! I should be done just around our 3rd year anniversary. Jed is just getting started with the Rocky Mountain Football League for fun this summer... His first game is next month. Spring is practically here and I am so excited for it to warm up! We have got alot of fun plans ahead in the next few months. Hopefully I can just do a better job of updating this thing with all we are doing!

Christmas Shopping and then some...

2008-12-20T18:55:00.013-07:00

The past few weekends have been very eventful and busy! This year we were with Jed's family for Thanksgiving. We had a great weekend with the family! I took part in Black Friday (shopping) for the first time with Jed's sister Kristi! We got started at about 4:30 and were done around 10. It was lots of fun :) :) Christmas is almost here....YAY.... and we have been very busy getting ready for it. A couple Saturdays ago Jed was off to the Weber State vs. Montana football game so I got together with some of my girlfriends..Steph, Annie (baby Hazel), Lauren (baby Brody) that I had not seen in what was too too long. I miss them dearly and we all need to slow down and do it again more often!!! That same day Dani had a drill team competition at Davis High School so I stopped in for a few dances and hung out with my mom and aunts for a little bit. I also got started on my Christmas shopping. Last weekend was the Annual Girl's Overnight CHRISTMAS SHOPPING Trip with my mom and sisters. Dani had another drill competion on Saturday in Salt Lake so that is were we stayed so we could drop in for some of her dances also. We left Friday morning... shopped all day long and crawled into bed at about 2 in the morning. We literally shopped as much as we possibly could!!! Saturday morning we woke up to a nasty snow storm. We went over to the High School where the competition was going on and watched Dani and in between made about a dozen trips back and forth to the mall and other stores. It got to be kinda funny but it was fun. By the end of the day everyone had headed home but I stuck through it with my mom and stayed for the awards. We headed home about 9 and made one more stop in Riverdale at Target... as if we really needed to... ha ha! I finally made it home to my hubby and missed him lots!!!!!!! Just overnight is too long away from him. It was a good weekend though. I love my mom and sisters!! Thanks for a fun weekend!

Our Christmas Tree!

We didn't get many pics.... too busy shopping!

Happy Halloween...

2008-11-07T17:58:00.007-07:00

We had a fun Halloween! Haylee & Adam brought over Kyla as Minnie Mouse (I did not have my camera out yet...sad) Then Dani and Thomas came over as Anikan Skywalker and Queen Amidala. Ash and Tyler brought over Chloee as a little Dragon. I made caramel apples and cupcakes the night before and Jed's parents came and trick or treated for those. I wish the rest of both our families was closer so we could have seen the rest of the kids in their costumes. We love and miss those who didn't come over. Happy Halloween.

Star Wars...

Ha ha...

Pumpkin (?) Pizza

Flag Football

2008-11-07T17:43:00.003-07:00

For the past three years Jed has been playing in the Tremonton Recreational Flag Football league. Tyler plays too so Ash and Chloee are there also. The team is Haws Family Dentistry and Jayson Haws is the "owner". Jayson is Tyler's cousin and Ash works at his office. Jayson's wife Melissa sits with us occasionally too. The games start in September and end about the end of Octoberish or the first of Novemberish so throughout we are either fighting off mosquitos or freezing our butts off. Jed really loves it and has a few friends that also play with and I really have fun watching him and hanging with Ash and Chloee. This year they went undefeated up until the Championship game and lost a REALLY close game. Nice job boys!!!

Tutu's....

2008-11-03T19:01:00.006-07:00

In the past month two of our nieces, Halley and Kyla, had Birthdays and I decided to make them both tutus. What girl at any age doesn't love a tutu!!! They turned out so cute and from what I hear they both love them! I better have a girl myself one day!!!!

Halley...

Chloee LOOOVED it... she was funny!

Kyla...

Halloween Party

2008-10-27T12:19:00.009-06:00

Dairy Wives Convention

2008-10-25T11:56:00.006-06:00

So I am not a Dairy Wife but.... my grandma is :) and my mom, aunts, and the grandaughters have been going to this for a long time. This year I finally took off work and went a few weeks ago (still catching up). Lunch was great and the motivational speaker was Mary Nickels from Channel 2 News. She has a really fun personality and had a great little message about taking care of yourself... sure pedicures, facials and that sort of stuff is nice but she was talking of screenings...and seeing the good old Dr. so that you will always be there for the ones you love and the ones that love you. She was really funny and sweet. After that we walked around the little shops of Gardner Village. SO much fun to have a little day with the girls!

I Love the Fall, Love the pumpkins, Love the leaves, Love Halloween, Love Witches, Love it all....

BYU vs USU

2008-10-25T11:24:00.003-06:00

A few weeks back we went up to Logan to the BYU vs Utah State game. GO COUGS! They won! (not as big of a blowout as we could have hoped for...but they won) And I am a BYU fan ok!!! Let me explain... I lived in Cougar town for 2 years and if I had to pick someone to cheer for in College... that is who it would be. I have a brother-in-law (Jed's sister Kristi's hubby) who is a huge BYU fan and has season tickets but refuses to wear the BYU attire. He wears blue to the games and that is about as far as he will take it. Then I have two brother-in-laws (my older sister's hubbies) that grew up in Pleasant Grove and have been surrounded by crazy BYU (zoobies they call them..ha ha) their entire lives so I don't think either of them would really call themselves BYU fans. What team doesn't have crazy, obsessive, "thinks their team is the best" kind of fans though. BYU gets a bad rep for fans for some reason but you're all thinking of the zoobies and not all BYU fans are zoobies. I am going to leave Jed's opinion out of this because I feel like it :) :) Come what may... I am a BYU fan. (even if they lost miserably to TCU)

We went to the game with Ash, Tyler, Jayson, and Melissa. Lots of fun!!! Jayson is Tyler's cousin and also a 3-year flag football buddy of Jed's. After getting something to eat at Olive Garden...we headed to the game and it was perfect weather.

HOMECOMING DANCE

2008-10-25T10:58:00.006-06:00

Back in September (I am SLOWLY catching up) I did Dani's hair and makeup for the Box Elder High School Homecoming Dance. Dani went to the dance with her boyfriend Thomas and they made an adorable little couple that night...

Dressing up is so fun!!! As you can see Halley wanted in on some of the posing action. My parents were babysitting. Halley and Brinley while Britt and Jer were out of town for a few days.

The #1 Summer Moment...

2008-10-14T19:11:00.013-06:00

I made an honest effort to play catch up on the entire summer but I just couldn't do it. I AM SORRY! The computer was uploading the pictures too slow, I was getting irritated trying to setup the timeline of the summer in an organized manner, and the site went down for maintenance for about 25 minutes during all of this. I am almost gave up on blogging altogether! Excuses I know but there is too much and those I really care about sharing this with were there with us for the most part this summer. And I want to tell you what we are up to NOW. So I quit with the summer catch up and decided to share we you the #1 best part of my summer....

June 16 was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Being married to Jed is a pretty special experience. He is an amazing husband and my best friend. He is my inspiration and my life! He is the most understanding, compassionate (.....sexiest) person I know. And he is going to make the best dad EVER! I am so excited to have kids with him. They will adore him as I do. I am so thankful each day to be married to him. We had a really fun summer together... from doing just nothing to everything. We had lots of fun with our families and made lots of good memories together.

The Top of our Cake...a year old

Most of the coconut has fallen off...

Jed loves Rainbow chip so I made sure the top of the cake was just that....thought it might help increase my chances of getting him to eat it a year old....IT WORKED!

WEDDINGS!!

2008-08-23T19:28:00.002-06:00

Tuesday our friends John and Mandi were married in the Salt Lake temple. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Walker. Mandi was a beautiful bride! Weddings always make me happy! For those of you who were in close encounter with me throughout my engagement... you know just how much I loooove weddings! I had about three different types of notebooks/portfolios I carried around with me the entire 4 months that contained all my ideas and plans for my wedding. Don't laugh... they are nice to have as a keepsake now and they were helpful then! If the occupation of a wedding planner was a high demand around these parts I think that would be such a fun job! I would love it! And I am sure every bride and her mom would love my OCD organizational skills (see everyone they come in handy sometimes) I would be a dream come true :) SO if you invite me to your wedding I can assure you I will be there because I just love the atmosphere and feeling at weddings! Takes me back to my special day! CONGRATS JOHN & MANDI!

On our way to John & Mandi's wedding dinner...

4th of July

2008-07-12T20:05:00.008-06:00

Watching the Fireworks!

We are having sooooo much fun this summer!!! Sure we are still working our 40 hours a week but we find lots of time for fun together! The morning of the fourth we headed to Jed's parents and had a little breakfast bbq in the backyard and spent some time hanging with the family. Later that night we headed over to my parents and had another bbq then headed out to watch the Brigham fireworks from Watkins park. It is so good to spend time with our families. We LOVE seeing our nieces and nephews. Happy Birthday America!

Don't worry!

2008-07-06T08:47:00.009-06:00

We are alive... just very busy. Nobody likes posts saying... Sorry it has been so long I will post with pics soon. But that is what I am doing!! I will post with pics and an update on our summer fun SOON! Since my last post...We have had our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, gone to Bear Lake, I started my new job, coaching a girl's softball team, spent lots of time with our families, miniature golf, go-carts, Jed went through a laser tag obsession lasting a few weeks. So we were doing that once a week...sometimes a few times a week... ha. I need to do a REAL post soon with pictures of it all. We have so much fun together and we are having an awesome summer so far!

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

2008-05-14T11:00:00.012-06:00

May 9 was my BIRTHDAY. Thanks to everyone who made my day special! But 23 does sound a little old... it is weird! I woke up early with Jed as he was getting ready for work and opened my presents with him. I got lots of goodies!!! Jed loves taking care of me. I'm lucky to have him. He is an amazing husband! I love him so much! I spent the rest of my morning figuring out my new blackberry pearl :), eating a bowl of cereal, and watching TV. It was nice to have a morning to relax rather than bolting out the door to work. My mom, sister Ash w/ Chloee, and grandma took me out to lunch at 5 Buck Pizza... they have a really yummy salad bar we love! When I got home Jed was there!!!! He got off of work early... How sweet! Then I had to leave for my second job interview with Nucor for a position I applied for a few weeks ago. It is like 5 minutes from my house and a fantastic company to work for. And I've had enough of the 40 minute commute every morning to my current job!!! The interview went awesome! After, I came home and just laid around with Jed for a bit. Later, as we were getting ready to go out to dinner, I received a call from Nucor wishing me a Happy Birthday and offering me the job. YAAAY! I start on the 27th as an engineering clerk and I am ecstatic! Jed then took me to dinner in Logan and we grabbed some Cold Stone BIRTHDAY CAKE REMIX Ice Cream on the way home... my FAVORITE! We of course had to make sure we got home in time for the Jazz game though! Thanks to all my wonderful family and friends who called or text me! I LOVE YOU ALL!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

2008-05-11T11:57:00.016-06:00

She is a wife, a mom, a grandma, a daughter, a sister, a best friend... and MY AMAZING MOTHER. She has 5 daughters which over the years has resulted in many bows, curls, dance classes, carpools, shopping, drama, laughs, cries.... She has always been involved in everything 100%. How she does not run out of energy I am not sure. She always puts her best face forward!!

At the age of 35 her doctor discovered a heart murmur and after a cat scan discovered a hole in her heart. She was told that she would be having open heart surgery!! Heart surgery did not stop her from carrying on as a wife and a mother of 5. After many prayers and priesthood blessings she had surgery at the LDS hospital and my dad was by her side through it all. I was able to see her only a couple hours after the surgery and I remember being so scared! She was still in the ICU and just coming out of it. After a few days at the hospital she returned home to our family where we took care of her and helped her in her recovery process. I made myself a nurse badge just like the nurses taking care of her at the hospital had (ha). I remember everyone telling her over and over that she needed to take it easy and make sure to get the rest she needed. She wanted to immediately carry on as if the surgery had never happened. Not once did she show fear in the whole process. She handled the situation as if it was just another task on her list of things to do. If she was scared she never showed it... Which was a huge comfort to the rest of us. She of course knew everything would be OK!! You would never believe she had had the surgery if it wasn't for the scar on her chest.

She also owns her own business and does the work of about 10 people all on her own!! She is incredible. She is one of the busiest ladies you'll ever meet and also one of the most compassionate, giving, unselfish! She is constantly putting others before herself and wants to make sure everybody is happy. She has many, many talents such as decorating! She is funny and she also has great style!! I completely trust her to shop for me.. she always picks out cute clothes! One of my favorite memories is going with her to Relief Society and also listening to her lessons when she taught there (at that time I was living at home and going to Weber). I think at that time when I lived at home is when my mom really became a friend as well. She is one of my best friends! I am so lucky to have her for a mom and to have her in my life. She has always been there for me and I will always be there for her! ...... I LOVE YOU MOM!

Birthday Wish!

2008-04-29T21:44:00.015-06:00

Last Wednesday was my cute husband Jed's Birthday and he got a whole week of fun for it!!! The Sunday before his Birthday my whole family was around so we got together for cake & ice cream for Jed! On his Birthday we BBQed and ordered out for dessert and an appetizer. Jed opened his presents, we had dinner, and watched a movie! Jed got new running shoes, swim shorts, clothes...etc, and Utah Blaze game tickets!

Saturday afternoon we had family pictures with Jed's family. After pictures we went to Jed's parents and had another Birthday party for him with his family! We ate lunch/dinner and had MORE cake & ice cream!

I LOVE YOU! I hope you had a great Birthday sweetie!

HAIR CUT!

2008-04-19T18:27:00.029-06:00

Some of you may have already seen Jed's new haircut from a couple of weeks ago but I still want to post some pictures to show what a drastic, fabulous change it was. He finally gave in (after weeks of begging on my part) and let me cut his hair. He looks soooooo HANDSOME!! He loves to have it long during the winter for his beanies. And don't get me wrong.. I think his curly, long hair is so cute. And I am super excited for our kids to have his natural curly hair..and the little curl that I have left. But it hits a point where he starts to look a little raggy. And that's about the time that I say... "PLEEEEASE LET ME CUT YOUR HAIR!"

ONE WEEK BEFORE THE CUT

LOOK AT ALL THAT HAIR

RIGHT AFTER...OH HE LOOKS SO GOOD!

I'm Sorry!!!

2008-04-18T12:28:00.003-06:00

I'm no good at this blogging business. We have been so busy lately it seems. I promise a NEW POST with pictures letting you know everything going on.... SOON

My first tag!!!!!!! (actually Britt gave me a hubby tag I have yet to get to..COMING SOON)

The rules of the game: The player answers the questions about themselves then they tag 5 others and leave them a comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged.

TEN YEARS AGO...I was 12 and I was in 7th grade! Ha! (that's a hard year to remeber) My best friend was Shay Poulsen. I basically went to school, hung out with my buddies, and I was also taking dance at VaDels in Tremonton. I was a 4.0 student back then.

FIVE THINGS ON MY TO-DO LIST... (I have like ten to-do lists...Yikes. My family and husband like to make fun of my sticky note addiction) 1-Dinner for me and my hubby (we might go out tonight:)) 2-Get in comfy clothes and watch a movie (we are always so tired on Friday nights but nothing is better than cuddling) 3-COLOR EASTER EGGS 4-Write my talk for sacrament!!!!!! Oh man! Don't worry though its the next Sunday, I've got about 8 more days. I am not excited! 5-Clean my car

FIVE PLACES I HAVE LIVED...1-Brigham City 2-Orem 3-Brigham City 4-Orem 5-Brigham City (So I know thats only two places but thats the order I went back and forth ok)

THREE BAD HABITS...1- I am super indecisive! I hate it!!!! 2-Buying Purses 3-I take REALLY long showers

FIVE JOBS I HAVE HAD...1-Idle Isle Cafe - Waitress 2-VOX Promotions - Sales Assistant 3-Utah County Division of Subtance Abuse - Office Specialist/ Secretary 4-Pioneer Care Center - CNA 5- McKay-Dee Behavioral Health Institute - Secretary

IF I WAS SUDDENLY A BILLIONARE...Build a beautiful home!!I would put money into savings to give to all my children. I would share with my family and Jed's. Buy new cars for Jed and I. We would go on lots and lots of vacations . I would buy every shade of MAC eye shadow and all their makeup brushes. EVERYDAY I would have new clothes & shoes! I would have a chef because Jed is so picky! I would have my very own personal trainer and nutritionist. Jed and I would be life-time season ticket holders for The Colts, The Braves, and the Jazz. Buy a boat and jet skiis. I am sure I could go on and on. BUT I would also share with those in need!!!

FIVE THINGS I ENJOY...1-Being married to Jed and sharing our lives (and eternities) together 2-Spending time with family 3-Shopping 4-Going for Drives with Jed 5-Sleeping in

FIVE THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT ME... 1-In 5th grade I was playing baseball at recess with Jed (who is now my husband) and some other kids and I got my front tooth knocked out with a baseball bat. Now I have a lovely fake tooth :( 2-I was the 2004 Box Elder County Dairy Princess 3-I SERIOUSLY believed in leprechauns when I was little (my two older sister convinced me they were real) 4-I am a HUGE Nicole Richie fan 5-I am slightly OCD when it comes to being organized & clean

So after much anticipation I am going to blog!! YAAY! My sisters kept telling me I needed to get a blog and after a few months...I finally set up my page! And then about a week later (ha) ... I am FINALLY going to post something! Blogging seems like the thing to do these days so we'll give it a try! First off... I have been married to my husband Jed for almost 9 months. WOW how the time flies! Being married gets better and better every day! Jed works full time for Nelsen Sheet Metal and is also going to school. He is working towards a degree in physical therapy. I am also working full time at McKay Dee Behavioral Health Institute and trying to figure out my next step in school. After spending my time finishing my prerequisites for respiratory therapy I don't think that is what I want to do anymore... really I am not sure I could do it. I am not sure my stomach and heart can handle the medical field like I once thought it could. I discovered this in my previous job as a CNA. And I guess I have kinda just changed my mind. I am hoping to start again this summer going to school for Hair or Esthetics. Jed and I both come from awesome families and we love seeing them all as often as possible. We love our nieces and nephews! In between all that Jed and I just like to spend our time TOGETHER. We definitely know how to make each other laugh! Marriage is such a learning, growing experience! I never imagined it would be so great! Well that is us for the most part. I'm sure you'll find out more as the posts come! XOXO
