savannah in comp dance?

me and savvy dropped jarrom off today because savannah had dance today. She did awesome! :) i just love watching how good she is getting at dance. I also looked into compition dancing and i want to register savannah for it next fall and see if she will make it. They travel all over having competions including disneyland this year, jazz games, logan and many more! I want her to dance until she doesn't like it anymore or dance forever whatever she wants to :) I decided i am going on a diet tomorrow too i am going to try the special k diet and see how it works you are supposed to lose 2 dress sizes in 2 weeks so we will see.

night out with friends

Today we went to church and had another wonderful day :) still love our ward! Then some elders from our ward came over to visit for about an hour and it was very nice. We then headed to Jessica and Kelby's house. They have been our best friends forever but we haven't hung out with them in a while because everyone has been sick then we had the baby and so on an so on lol. WE had a great night ate dinner and just caught up! It is so nice no matter how long we don't see eachother or hang out we never miss a beat. Savannah and Kollyn got along for the most part and had fun chasing eachother around and going up and down the stairs over and over. I am so greatful for our friends in our lives :)

game night

We woke up early this morning because jarrom promised korrun and brayson that we would go to their basketball games. Korrun's game started at 10am so we went to his first and in the middle of it cheri called me to go shopping with her and my mom (they wanted to use coupons) so me and tanner left while jarrom and savvy stayed with his mom. Me my mom and cheri went to kents first because RoLayne told me about the huge sale that they were having. Then we went to walmart. Kristie (my aunt) called me because she hasn't met tanner yet and she really wanted to meet him. Well after walmart we went to costa vita and by the time we got home we realized they gave me someone else's food so i drove back got my meal, they gave me a free meal card and i got to keep the wrong order (i gave it to jarrom he eats everything lol) so i guess it pays to be nice because i wasn't rude about them messing the order up. Kristie came over and stayed for a while and told us about her trip to disneyland over christmas i was so jealous! Sounds so fun and i can't wait to go this year. Amanda and Cory showed up and jarrom and savvy came over and then so did cameron we had another game night full of fun. We played a game called "boxers or briefs" it was so much fun lol

favorite day of the week

Friday's are always my favorite as everyone knows. I decided how i want to make the superbowl cake but i needed a football cake pan to do my design. So we woke up and went to joanns to get the cake pan (i got a gift card for christmas there and i had a 50 percent off coupon) We get there and the cake pan i needed was all sold out but they told us they had one at their centerville store. Me and Jarrom decided it was worth it to drive out there because we wouldn't be paying anything for it. I got my cake pan from the centerville store and then we went next door to the DI and we found me some ice skates in perfect condition! We bought jarrom some a while back so we were excited! After the DI we headed to walmart to see if they had anything on sale that i had coupons for (i know i am crazy right) We got a few things and our total before coupons was 24 dollars and after was 10 so i was happy! Our storage room is looking so nice and full and it is nice to have things we need and a good stock of them. We spent the rest of the day at jarroms parents house. They bought chicken nuggets from mcdonalds and i couldn't believe when they told me that it was the first time that they had ever had chicken nuggets from mcdonalds! isn't that just crazy?!? I grew up on them! lol. We were talking about how we wanted to get rid of our car and get a van for cheap so we wouldn't have to worry about car payments. Well his parents offered us their van! can you believe that? I am so greatful for my inlaws we might not see eye to eye on everything but they help out so much and are always willing to do anything for us. So hopefully all works out and we will be able so sell our car and take them up on their offer and have no car payments! We stayed their until about 8 and then went over to my moms and played "things" with cameron and cheri it was alot of fun.

addicted to coupons

I took Jarrom to work today and went grocery(coupon) shopping with savannah and tanner. i then went over to my moms house and cheri and cameron were their making spegetti together. They have been spending so much time together :) I like cameron it feel like he just fits in with our family already. We sat up to the table and ate as a family which was nice. Me and mom watch hawaii 5 O the new one on tv and it is a really good show! It has a character from lost on it so it cant be bad right?!

finally getting stuff accomplished

today we had a productive day. I did alot of laundry and cleaned house! Even Savannah's room which is a miracle lol. Oh and then me and Savannah made homemade (from scratch) cheese and broccoli soup. I love that i can make that even though i don't like it too much Jarrom and savannah just love it :) I didn't go to my moms house today because for Christmas me and jarrom bought my mom, cheri, my grandma and grandpa jazz tickets. They played San Antonio and lost :( boo. I used my new wii workout games from christmas and i loved them i felt the burn for sure.

seriously? another drs appointment

We woke up kind of early (8:30) and jarrom had been having lung pain all yesterday and it was really bothering him. Well alittle background on jarrom he was born a month early with one of his lungs not inflated and he had to be life flighted to primary childrens hospital for emergency surgery. Well that same lung is the one that is hurting him so i told him to call his mom and ask if he should go in. His mom said go in of course because of his lung history. We got to the doctor and jarrom had to get a chest xray and the doctor informed us that it is possible for his lung to collapse since the did artificailly inflate it! I was so scared that is what was happening....luckly the lining of his lungs are just inflamed so the doctor prescribed him ibprofen 800s that he has to take 3 times a day for 20 days! Isn't that crazy that is so much medicine. After that me and savannah went and got his medicine and then pretty much just stayed home all day while jarrom was at work.

big savings! yay

I was just another very very plain and normal monday. Except i woke up and went to walgreens and winco just me and savannah while tanner and jarrom slept. Well i don't know if i have mentioned this on my blog yet but i am obsessed with coupons! I love that it is free money even if i save 50 cents on something i need that is money i still have to save! Anyway we got all our things we needed and before coupons my total was 23 dollars after coupons my total was on 3! Wow it was such a great feeling knowing i only had to pay three dollars for all of it! Then we went to winco and got a few things, I like going to winco instead of walmart because i am not tempted to buy anything but food! lol. I had to take jarrom to work again and then savannah to dance. She did awesome their little recital is going to be so cute!

l LOVE our ward!!

We went to church at our ward for the first time today since Tanner was born and oh my gosh i love our ward. Our church now starts at 1pm so it is going to be alot easier to go since we are on jarrom schedule. So we got there and savannah went right into nusery and she stayed the whole time without crying and had fun! Relief Society people talked to me and sunday school I had to go to change Tanner in the mothers lounge and talked to a few ladys. It was so awesome everyone talks to everyone there are no "clicks" is this ward everyone is so so nice! I talked to this lady for a while in the lounge and then we went to sacrament. The relief society president asked if i wanted to be a visiting teacher and i told her yes and at the end she gave me my assignment and i am partners with the lady i was talking to for so long and we hit it off! I am so excited! Oh and we scheduled Tanner to be blessed on feb 6th. After church we went to my moms to watch the football game and have taco salad. The superbowl is also the 6th of february and it is the greenbay packers vs the pitsburg steelers. We aren't going to have a lunchon after the blessing because of it lol.

saturday

Today Savannah went to the rodeo with my mom, amanda, cory, trevor and kayelyn. She had alot of fun but there was a chicken that jumped into her lap and scared her lol. Me and jarrom were going to go see a movie with cheri and her boyfriend cameron but it was after six and they didn't allow kids into the theater (it was a R rated movie don't judge) but we ended up going to FYE and buying "the break up" It ended up being a pretty good night considering we got rejected at the movie theater! I forgot to take pictures yet again today but savannah looked so cute we dressed her up and she looked like jessie from toy story lol.

First date night

Today was jarroms day off and we started off the day by going to my grandma's house and my aunt carla was there and she got to meet tanner for the first time. We had to take my mom home because she had a procedure done on her throat today. Before we took her home we went to the layton di (my mom is obsessed) and then we to Beez cafe. We dropped my mom off and headed home for a couple of hours. We went back to my moms so she could watch the kids and me and jarrom headed to the rodeo. It was alot of fun but i missed Savannah and Tanner so much i just kept texting my mom to see if they were ok. I love Jarrom he is such a great husband :) I am so lucky it was a great night.

one more day

Last night tanner slept from 11pm to 8am! I can't even believe he sleeps better than savannah! I love thursdays because i know it is only one more day until me and jarrom have the whole weekend to spend together :) Me and savannh went over to my moms today when jarrom went to work and ate dinner (we got chinese yum) and then we watch the newest big bang theory episode. my mom took us home and we are already laying down going to bed pretty early tonight.

sleep all day!

We woke up today and just laid in bed seriously all day! We watched a marathon of the big bang theory and jarrom took the car to work and me and savvy just stayed at home and watched more. We also gave tanner his first bath at home in his bath tub not just a spounge bath. He loved it believe it or not and didn't cry at all. It was a nice relaxing day since savannah is sick and just wanted to snuggle anyways.

sick sick and sick

I am so sick of everyone being sick! It feels like I can't talk to anyone without them saying that someone in their family is sick! Well we took jarrom to the doctor today and he has broncitis so they put him on steroids, antibiotics and very drowsy cough medicine. I took him to work (which he really didn't want to go lol) and went and hung out with my mom and cheri again. Savannah is getting worse so we might take her in soon too. I am just glad tanner can't get any of this sickness since i am breastfeeding. Lucky.

what a fun busy day

Today we woke up early because Tanner had a Doctors appointment at 9:40 am (yuck i hate mornings) He is doing good we just went back in for a weight check and he is now past his birth weight and he weighs 7lbs 13 oz. We also told the doctor about how we are worried about his hearing because he doesn't even flinch when people yell or the dog barks or anything which is weird so he scheduled an appointment for autiology on friday. Then after we went to FYE and didn't find anything so we went home. Well my mom called and asked if i wanted to go run errands with her, i told her yes and she came and got me at one. We went to her work, the layton DI, then to savannah's dance class, then to the ogden DI, cal ranch store and then to finally we went to winco. It was such a long day but it was fun.

Sunday dinner

I woke up this morning and me and Tanner got ready and headed over to my moms so i could do Cheri's hair. I decided to let jarrom sleep and i would go get him later . Me and Cheri watch another playoff game for football and there were so many injuries! My mom got home with Savannah from church and Cheri left for church and I went and got jarrom from home and we headed over to jarrom's parents house for his dad's birthday dinner. We had some yummy chicken and sides. For dessert we had cookie dough ice cream cake it was so good! Oh i forgot to write yesterday that Teesha, RoLayne, Korrun and Brayson were in a pretty bad accident! I guess they got the green arrow to turn and some crazy lady ran the red light! That is so scary. We are so glad they are OK i will post a picture from teesha's facebook to show the damage. We left a little early because jarrom kept falling asleep on the floor.

our superboy

saturday

Yet again we laid around all day i hate when we are sick. Well around 2 we decided to go to my moms to watch the football game. My mom ordered pizza and it was so good! I love papa johns pizza with the garlic sauce. My mom wanted savannah to sleep over to take her to church which savannah loves because trevor goes with her. When we got home me and jarrom wanted to watch different shows so i was in our room watching lost (season 5 now and my favorite so far) and jarrom was watching prison break season 2. We don't have cable so we just watch movies and tv showes on dvd.

relaxation

Well as you all know i am sick and guess what so is jarrom go figure. He just has a cold though which is good that it isn't the nasty flu that is going around. Well this morning we didn't go to bed til 6am because all the excitement about yesterday and then Savannah decided to wake up at 9:30 after only three and a half hours of sleep! So we called Amanda so she could take her and we could get some rest. Amanda asked if she could have her all day and if she could spend the night and we were just fine with that. So me and jarrom slept off  and on (we had tanner lol) until about 4pm and it felt so nice to get some much needed sleep. When we woke up jarrom went and got my medicine and a few things from the store and we layed around some more. Too bad we didn't get around to cleaning today oops. There is always tomorrow!

what a long day

Well today was quite the day! I woke up having some rather strange symptoms and throughout the day they just kept getting worse. Well the tanners pediatrician told me that i had the warning signs of mastitis which you can get from breastfeeding so he prescribed me some cream and told me if i get any of the other symptoms go to the doctor immediately. Well i got progressively worse so Amanda was headed to my house to take me in (i kept blacking out and had a fever to name a couple of things that were happening) and Cheri showed up to bring me her left over food. Too her surprise i was totally out of it. So Cheri watch the two kids as Amanda took me to the emergency room. they ran tests, drew blood, gave me a catheter, IVs, morphine and chest x-rays. Well i have mastitis which is an infection in your breasts and it is horrible!!! But they said it was a good thing i went in because i could have been hospitalized if i waited and got worse. So antibiotics here i come.

more drs appointments

Today was tanners 2 week check up! I can't believe it has already been to weeks it is crazy how fast time flies. We went to his appointment and he has already grown to 20.7inches and 7.9 lbs and his head circ. is 14inches. We have to go back in on monday to check his weight again because babies are supposed to be back up to their birth weight at their two week appointment he is only an ounce off which i didn't think was a big deal. But honestly savannah wouldn't gain weigh so i think tanner might have jarrom motabolism which will be nice when he is older. After we all took a nap together which was so nice to hold both savannah and tanner while jarrom was holding me. It was the highlight of my day.

10th percentile

We went to our wic appointment today and savannah weighs 28 lbs now and she is in the 25th percentile for her weight and her height she was in the 10th lol i don't think she has ever been over the 10th percent for height the little shorty. Tanner weighed in at 7.8 and he is in the 25th for both weight and height so he might have a tall jean.....yeah right have you seen me and jarrom! They had to weigh me too and i am down to 148 i know that sounds like alot but i have lost 20 pounds in 13 days! Only 33 more to go until i win my bet with jarroms dad :) oh Tanners umblicord came off tonight which was very gross lol. Me and jarrom went to the store today after our appointment and he put his arms around me and asked if i worked out because my stomache was already feeling smaller to him :) he is so sweet lol i know it was corny but he didn't know i worked out and it gave me motivation.

so accomplished

Today I woke up did laundry, cleaned the living room, bathroom and kitchen! I was so happy to get things kind of back normal. It was monday so I took savannah to dance and then went to my moms and i worked out for the first time since i had tanner. I ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes! YAY ME!! I know it doesn't sound like much but it was enough to break a sweat! I then came home and me and savannah danced with the wii to workout. I want to start a new nightly routine to work out before we go to bed to keep us active. I got a new workout outfit which always motivates me lol. I have to thank nintendo for inventing the wii it is going to get my butt in shape! Oh yeah this past weekend one of the movies we watched was called "in the prusuit of happyness" with will smith and i loved the movie! It just made me and jarrom more thankful for everything that we have. Even though our house is small at least we have a home! And it is bigger than most apartments and cheaper :) we are so blessed to have our "litte" house :)

first time to church

Today we debated on going to james' farwell because tanner is not even two weeks old yet but we decided to go. James did an amazing job on his talk and had alot of good things to share. After sacrament we went to rodney and suann's house for the lunchon and they had so many people show up and had so much food! And wow the desserts were amazing! They had more cookies then i have ever seen in one place! seriously! We then went over to my moms so savannah could play with trevor and had to leave not too long after that because savannah got tired and onery suprised? not me! :) anyway it is only nine o'clock and i am sitting in bed watchin a movie with my wonderful husband what a great way to end the weekend!


after church. I love his shirt my friend jaimie made it, it is so cute thanks jaimie!



family fun

Today we went to my moms before we headed to jarrom's cousins mission fairwell party. Jarroms mom was in charge of the party and it was so fun and we played games and had great food! His cousin james leaves on his mission on the 19th and he is going to carlsbad, california which is where legoland is that is so cool! Today was the first time Grandma Adams got to see Tanner and she thought he was cute. I love jarroms family i wish we would do more things together with all the extended family! But it was a great night ended with lots of snow on the ride home.

everyone ready for bed

TGIF

Today was jarroms day off  so we hung out around the house mostly until after three so his siblings would be out of school. Then we went over to his parents house for a couple of hours which was nice. Then we got hungry and wanted to go on a date :) Korrun (jarroms brother) was so cute and said hey we will watch the kids and me and jarrom thought that was cool but we told him that we like to go on family dates :) We went to tgifridays my favorite place in the whole world then we went to my moms and played the wii with them for a bit. It was a good date night.

after our date night

terrible three's?

Today my mom came over to let me get some rest. I took a nice long shower, cleaned alittle, and then took and hour nap it was so nice :) oh i love my mom! Then she took me to her house and we watched the big bag theory and grey anatomy. Tanner is still having a hard time he is fussier than normal i am pretty sure he is still in pain from the surgery yesterday. Savannah has been such a turd the past couple of days i wonder what that is about she tells me no like she could care less what i say. Then she goes and askes jarrom! what is that about? How do i get a almost three year old to listen to me any ideas?

don't let the princess face fool you :)

poor little guy

This morning we took Tanner to wee care in roy to get his man hood taken away lol just kidding he just got circumcised, since he has been sleeping alot but when he wakes up he just cries :( poor guy. We have been pretty lazy today i have no motivation to do anything still.....but cheri and my mom came over and brought dinner and we watched an old movie called "corina corina" that we used to watch alot when we were little. I forgot to write that Jarrom bought me 2 dozen pink roses the day we had tanner it was so sweet! But now they are dying it makes me want to cry. I can't belive our little boy is already a week old! They weighed him today and he is now 7lbs 3oz. He is just sticking around that weight i guess. Savannah is in love with tanner now and wants to do anything to help it is so cute!

nap time

nap time for him too

so greatful

I am so greatful for my wonderful family and how my mom raised us. Jarrom had to take my car to work because his is acting up suprise suprise and I was stuck home. Our house is pretty boring because we don't have tv lol we have a tv but no satalite so no channels whatsoever. Anyway my sister cheri came and picked me and the kids up and took us over to my moms. Me and savannah made cookies while we were there. I am just glad to have the family i have and i hope savannah and tanner cant go a day without talking to eachother like me and my sisters do.

cooking at grandmas

the binky is huge

tanner crying

Another day in our now busy lives

Today we woke up and we all got ready to take tanner to yet another drs appointment to check his bilirubin levels again. This was a treat to get ready holy cow while jarrom was in the shower I got savannah and tanner ready and dressed. Then I had to pack the diaper bag which I had to include savannah's dance clothes it was crazy. We finally were ready to get in the car and wow it is like we are loading up for a road trip these days lol. I am nervous for jarrom to go back to work tomorrow and i will have to get two kids in the car myself! We got to the drs office and they checked his levels they were at 15.7 and his weight was 7lbs 4oz now so they said we didn't need to put him under lights we just need to keep supplementing formula to was all of the stuff out of his system. Needless to say I have a freezer full of milk lol. When we got him all dressed and in his car seat ready to leave the drs office he wouldn't stop screaming and we couldn't figure out why until i put his beenie on he was just fine! Like father like son! Me and Jarrom couldn't stop laughing. After we went to target jarrom sat in the car with tanner while me and savannah had some mommy and me time. We got some more outfits for tanner since he only fits in newborns right now and those are even too big so we found alot of clearance which was nice. Then when we got done we went and got lunch because savannah kept saying she wanted chicken nuggets lol and we went and ate it at my moms. By this time it was time for savannahs dance so we got her dressed and packed up and headed to dance. Savannah was so good at dance the teacher couldn't even believe it she listen and did everything she was told. I guess being a big sister has changed her alot. We then went back to my moms and played jeopordy and went home not too long after that because someone in the ward was bringing us dinner. We finished off the night cuddling and watching a movie as a family. :)

at the drs office jarrom liked the bed paper lol



muddy buddies in a bag!!! we were so excited! lol



living the dream

Today was a normal day Tanner slept good through the night and i actually felt like i slept. I woke up early and got in the bath and i relaxed for an hour!!! I was so happy because that was my biggest fear with having two kids was i wouldn't get any "mommy time". We then took Tanner to the doctor to get his jandice levels checked again since they were alittle higher than they would like and he is yellow. Well their machine wasn't working right so we had to go to makay to get lab work done. I thought they were just going to poke his foot like they did when he was born to do the test but no they poked it and squeezed the blood out of his little foot into a tube and they just kept squeezing it it was so sad and so much blood for this little four day old! His bilirubin levels were 16.9 and his weight was 7lbs 3oz. We go back tomorrow to get it checked again. We then went to my grandmas to have cake and ice cream it was nice to see the family i love my family! I am sure living the dream life it seems like everything fell into place over night or something.

just chilling

First day of the year

My new years resolutions........
1-to take more pictures. This year I want to take more pictures of the whole family extended and everything. Also everyday I want to take at least one picture of each of my kids no matter if we are doing anything fun or not or if their hair is done or not. Just no matter what!
2- To post the pictures on my blog everyday and write everyday like a journal for the next year. After the year is up i want to print my blog out in a book for my kids to be able to see how much fun we had this year.
3- To take my kids trick or treating in disneyland with cash no credit cards. I know tanner in going to be too small to remember anything but savannah is the perfect age she can name every disney character she has ever seen :) I have never been to disneyland and jarrom hasn't been since he was six so i think we would all have a blast I want to stay there at least three days and get autograph books and make memories that we all will remember forever.
4- I want to be back to the weight i was when me and jarrom got married by july 1st. Me and Ray (jarroms dad) made a bet. I bet that i would be able to fit in my wedding dress by then and he said i couldn't so if I win he owes our family dinner at the place of our choosing and if he wins we owe their whole family dinner at a place of their choosing. I don't know if he realizes it but that just motivated me more because I don't want to buy dinner for 5 people! :) Oh yeah the weight i am aiming for is 115 which is what i was when we got married and maybe a little less if possible.

Today was new years day and we had a great new years. Today we just sat around the house and didn't go anywhere it was actually nice lol. My mom came over about 3 or so then my cousin jenn and her husband christian, then chris and jessica olsen came over, then the boys from jarroms family came over. Everyone came right after the other so it was alittle hectic in our little house. Our next door neighbors came and brought us dinner. We then watched a movie as a family (my favorite thing to do) then we watched jarrom play epic mickey its a new wii game it is pretty interesting.



getting ready for bed
