Hello Again.

Alright, alright. Shame on me. It's been almost 3 years since I have posted a blog, but you cannot blame me. Blame the little person that takes up all my time and energy.

This little guy.

He's not too little anymore. He is 1 year old. He is so much fun. He's a busy body boy, so I'm wiped to 1% at the end of the night, and the remaining 1% is the energy I have to climb into bed.

Seeing that I have missed 3 years, I'll go back a little bit. We found out we were pregnant November 2013! We were excited, nervous and scared all wrapped into one crazy emotional day. It's the month of Thanksgiving but we weren't ready to tell at Thanksgiving dinner. We told our family at Christmas. And we had a Gender Reveal party in February. 

One of the best days of our life! I would have a mini-Eric!

My labor and delivery was ordinary. Just like most first time mom, sitting at the end of my seat with anticipation. Was it time? Are these contractions? I had no idea!! We went to the hospital 3 times before they admitted us. We had no idea what we were doing. I immediately asked for the epidural and I slept a blissful 8 hours and then pushed for 45 minutes. And entered Ezra! 

Fresh out of the womb.

He didn't sleep through the night until he was 7 months old! And by through the night, I mean the ENTIRE night. 12 hours. We were so happy when he figured it out.

Right now we're just enjoying everyday and taking everything a day at a time. Eric is on his last semester of school and graduates Fall 2015! I stay at home with Ezra while working an hour a day from home. We're also moving to Herriman at the end of the year as well. We're so so excited! 

Now, I mentioned this blog is my online diary. Something I look back on and cherish and enjoy. I'll be better, but as you know, my hands are full. 

Thanks for reading! 

Haven't blogged in ages!!

Well here I am again. Blogging. Not sure if its worth my time but I will try to start back up again. Eric is back in school now and he is there 13 hours a day on Tuesday and Thursday. It sucks but its the only thing that works. But good thing this
semester is over in 4 weeks. Hallelujah!!!

I'm still working full time and that keepsake busy.

PROJECTS

I've been wanting to redo this nasty chair and table for the longest time. It was beige and white. Hated it. So we painted it white and put a cute fabric on it.

Before

After!!!

I also put up a mirror and two shelfs above our washers and driver. Too bad it's not centered with the w/d.

HALLOWEEN

We always make our own costumes

Right before we peeled off the stencil 

I think it turned out pretty good.

Anytime I can get this guy to wear tights, I will take advantage of it ;)

Oh and it snowed. Kill me now.

Honestly, life has been pretty good so far to us. We are really blessed with a great place to live. Good people around us and school and a job to go to. We are constantly busy with work and homework. (for Eric at least) We feel like life shouldn't be so easy right now but for reason we haven't had any bumps. Except for Eric's idiocy sometimes. HEHE. I can't WAIT for CHRISTMAS. It's my favorite Holiday and what's best is that my parent's are coming to town! And I finally get to buy a christmas tree. I'm super excited.

ZIP-PE-DEE-DOO-DAA!

So several months ago, I saw this great deal on Groupon. It was zip lining down provo canyon. And I had a coupon so it was a great deal! Today, Eric and I finally went zipping down the mountain. To be honest, I was pretty scared at first, since i'm deathly afraid of heights, but it got better and I had a ton of fun!!! This would be such a fun first date! Too bad it wasn't for us lol Afterwards we went to Sonic during happy hour and got some deliciously limeades! WOOOOT!!

Such a stud

On the ranger about to go up!

Kinda freaked out... 

Exploring new hobbies.

The last few weeks, I've been contemplating wether or not I want to go on another camping trip. Two in a row is just too much for me. I wish I had stayed home but it turned out to be very fun. Except sleeping is not very comfortable. I couldn't get any sleep at night and I just couldn't stay another day! Plus Eric was getting sick too. I also went to my best friend, Cara, family cabin. It was her family reunion so we only stayed there for 1 night. It was so much fun! I shoulda took more pictures.. :(

Bear Lake! The only picture I got :( 

 Brothers.

 Love this child.

This baby girl turned 1!!!! Ahh!

Holy Cucumbers! We've got plenty!

:)

Backpacking adventures

Well the transformation to a "Lee" is still in process. Eric comes from a family of campers. And I come from a family of couch sitting. So it's a bit different transitioning to hiking, running, exercising, biking and using my muscles. He loves being outdoors and smelling the trees and playing with rocks. Teehee, just kidding, but really, he loves being in nature. And I love that he has a hobby and he spends a lot of time with his family, but i'm still getting used to it. My dad loved hiking, until he married my mom and she hated it. So I promised him that I wouldn't make Eric quit because I'm not used to it.

This weekend, we went up to Rasmessun lakes with his family and friends. Our neighbors, his cousins, his brother and friend. It was way fun except for the natural bathroom process. I hate it!!!! I can't be happier that I was born in this century and not the 1800's. I wouldn't have survived.

Here are some pictures from my first back packing trip ever!

Heaviest thing I've ever carried for 45 minutes.

Not paying much attention to the camera! The crew looks good though!

So cold up there!

 Drinking mountain Dew in the most beautiful place on Earth. He is in HEAVEN!

 The Women!

Love this man. Standing in the middle of a water fall.

Summer continues

WHAT THE AUGUST? (in 3 days)


It's getting so hot here! Theres no pool or beach to soothe my pain :( Hopefully winter/fall comes quickly and I won't be sweating every moment of my life anymore! It's been a while since the last time I blogged. Lots of things have happened. Like our garden exploded! We only get 4 rows of space, and we are stupid. We planted our tomatoes and cucumbers on the outer rows, so it's going into other people's stuff. And our pepper plants are getting demolished! But we were actually fruitful (plantiful?) this season. Too bad we can't eat a million cucumbers. If you want some, come and get it!

The tomato plant! It's bigger than me.

cucumber plant!

Weird looking peppers. It's all spirally

Huge cucumbers!!

Next week, we have 2 vacations in a row! Wahoo! So excited! I can't wait to take break from work for 3 days! That's the most i've ever had. Peace out!!

Hiking Saturdays

Today, we went to cecrect Lake. It was a pretty easy hike, until we climb a switch back mountain.. It was ridiculous, but I kept the complaining to a minimum. It turned out to be really cool on the other side of the mountain. Filled with bugs and annoying crawlers.. okay i'm done complaining. It was really fun. Then we got our weight back on at the Philildephain.

On another note....

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

I love this man. He bares with me on all my obsessive pictures, complaining and annoying habits. He's the best!!

AWSOME 3 MONTHS!
