Being Grateful
I know posting two days in a row, a big step for me! I just really feel so grateful today for all that I have and felt like I needed to share. My Grandpa was going in for surgery today to remove his kidney due to cancer but, plans were changed. I got a call from mom saying that the cancer has spread to his lung and possibly his thyroid. It is so crazy how life can be turned upside down all in one day. i hope and pray that everything will work out with this silly cancer. I guess I just needed to sit down and see how special life can be. I am very grateful for my little girl and baby boy on the way. I don't know what I would do without Tylee. I am blessed to have a great husband and wonderful parents who are always there for us. I am so lucky to have been able to live close to my sister, and best friend, for the past couple of years, it has been so great! Sometimes we need to see trials so that we can appreciate everday a little more. Thanks hevens I was able to mop the floor today. I hope that all of you realize your many blessings today and always try to be grateful for what and who you do have. I am grateful for a wonderful Grandpa that will pull through and do his best to get better for Grandma. I love you gramps!!!

UPDATE!!
Well, thanks to Emily I guess I need to update this silly blog. I have no idea where to find pictures so I think I will just update with lots of text!
#1- Jared Graduated!!!! I am so proud of him. He has worked hard going to school, working, and having a family. I was so emotional at the graduation for some reason. School has been our whole lives it seems like. He graduated in April and with graduation came a job offer. This was bitter sweet, of course we wanted a job but it just so happened to be in Utah. The last place we both wanted to live.
#2- the end of April came and we packed up and moved to Utah! Thanks to my awesome family. They helped us pack up and joined us on our journey to Utah and then helped us unpack and get settled. i really enjoyed having them here and had lots of good laughs while they were here. i love you guys!!! The day they left was very hard for me. I am used to seeing them quite often so saying goodbye was awful. My sister made the cutest little dolls for Tylee so she would always have Meg,Nia, and zacy pooh to play with. Thanks Nic!!
#3- Life in Utah has been interesting. Tylee and I have spent alot of quality time together which is great, especially with the baby coming!! We witnessed our first stabbing while playing at the park! We saw our first purse snatching while out shopping, and have seen quite a few middle fingers in passing on the roads. I may not be the most experienced Utah driver! We are trying to adjust to all of the changes of life here in Utah!
Jared is enjoying his new job, I think! It is different to have an office job and not be out doors all day. He is always up for a good challenge. I don't think he minds the catered lunches and snacks. He enjoed his over nighter at Pat and Anndalynn's a few weeks ago!
#4- We are still trying to get moved in, what a job!! I am not so good at decorating and that is why we still have nothing on the walls. It is very overwhelming!
We are trying to start thinking about getting ready for our baby boy to come. I finally got a doctor here. I couldn't get in until I am about 37 weeks along so hopefully everything is okay until then. I'm sure it is fine because I am nearly as big as the house we live in. I know we are growing just fine. I am just waiting for the decorating fairy to come one day while I am out and get his room ready. I don't even have bedding. So if anyone out there likes to decorate let me know. Oh and if anyone has any ideas of what we could name the little guy, we could use help there too. We hope that we bring him home with a name but it isn't looking too good.
Tylee just likes the name zacy pooh. anyway......if anyone has and decorating ideas, boy names, diaper bag suggestions, or miracles, let me know.
#5- We got to gome last weekend!!!! It was so nice to go home. Tylee hadn't seen my dad for a month and her reaction was priceless! She was screaming pampa and grabbed his face, patted it and just held it in her little hands. I could do anything but cry. She really loves her pampa. She had a great time with her cousins, especailly zacy pooh. She is obssessed with Zac!! I really enjoyed being at home with myfamily. I really needed the laughs and chocolate.. I had lots of fun with my mom and sister!! Thanks for the fun weekend mom and dad!!
So all in all that is our life as of now. Jared and I are enjoying our last few weeks with just Tylee as she goes through the terrible 2's. They really do exist! It is hard to imagine having more than her around. She is defenitly the love ofour life.
If anyone wants to make a trip to Utah call us. We are here. We are missing Idaho but trying to make the best of the change. We are always looking forward to trips back home! We love you all and hope that you are all doing great!! Next time I will post some pictures for you.

Life
We have had a fun and eventful last week and a half. Tylee had her first sleep over last weekend with her cousins Meg and Nia. My sister was sick so we brought the girls home and they had a super fun sleep over. They stayed up late eating popcorn and lots of treats. Jared ended up on the couch with two 2 year olds. I don't think he got much sleep. Tylee got sick last Saturday with a cough, fever, and runny nose. After a few sleepless nights and clingy days we decided to go to the doctor. Tylee ended up having pneumonia and an ear infection. We have been giving her antibiotics and she is starting to feel a bit better. I now have a sinus infection so we are going a little crazy with all of the sickness around here. Thanks to my mom and dad who watched Tylee for a little while last night Jared and I were able to get a little break. Jared has been very busy with school and work. He is getting ready for his cold adventure at Badger Creek this week for school. We'll see how he likes sleeping out in the real cold outdoors!! Tylee and I will enjoy our nice warm beds while he braves the Teton valley.

Back to School!!
Well, Friday marks 3 months until Jared GRADUATES!! He started school on Wednesday. His classes start at 6:30 am this semester. I think Jared is excited about his classes. He is doing his bussiness minor. he is in a program that meets everyday of the week. He has been put in a company with classmates and will attempt to run a bussiness sometime in the semester. Jared is a go getter and very good at school. He will do great! So now we are playing the game of life trying to decide where life will take us in 3 months. I think we have decided that winning the lottery or retiring are out so hopfully something knocks on our door. Jared has been getting some great experience with remodeling lately. He is learning alot and doing a great job.
We had a GREAT holiday season. We really enjoyed Tylee on Christmas. She has grown up way too fast!! We love to laugh at the things she says.We feel so lucky to have her! She has been loving the snow and sleding down the hill at Grandpa's house. She also had her first snow machine ride with uncle Kellen, she thought that was great!!! Her favorite thing to do is play with Meg and Nia! She has fallen in love with baby Zac and now hopes for a baby brother. Life is busy for us and our little girl. We are enjoying it and trying to cherish every moment we have together. We are excited for this new year and hope that it finds everyone well and very happy!!!

Finally!!!
I am finally going to update our blog. I'm sure that for those of you who check our blog, would like to puke if you have to see those pictures one more time. Bad news, I can't get my pictures on here so you will have to see the old ones one more time! SORRY!! So I guess I will just give you an update on our lives without pictures.
Jared..........Busy, Busy, Busy!!! He has school, work, Tylee, Me, and a few things left on the Burley project!! He is feeling a bit overwhelmed but, doing great! We are so proud of him. he accomplished so much this summer. He built 3 houses and framed 2 extra with his friend Gordon! I will post the pictures later. Jared is a go getter, I tell ya. He is half way through this semester, taking midterms, BLAH BLAH. He is so good at being a student though. We are so excited that he will be graduating April 11, 2008!!! YEAH! Tylee is his #1 fan, she is always so excited when he walks through the door and very quick to cry when he walks back out. They have lots of fun together!:)
Tylee is the love of our lives! Jared and I are so lucky to have her, we thank our Father in Heaven everyday for her beautiful little face. We love playing with her and watching her grow. She really is full of life. She can count ten and pretty much talk like an adult. She is very smart. She is a tease and always keeps us laughing. She enjoys playing with Meg, Nia, and Owen. Her favorite place to be is at Grandma and grandpa's house in Ashton because she gets whatever she wants there. CANDY, CANDY!! She makes life so worth it. I can't wait to post some pictures of her.
I am just here trying to be a mom and a wife. I am so happy to have Jared back home with us. I am so grateful for my parents for letting Tylee and I stay with them for the summer. We had so much fun. I am so lucky to have the best parents in the world. Tylee had a blast jumping on the tramp, playing with Aggie, riding her trike, going on walks, and mostly playing with GRANDPA!! The summer was very busy with Jared being here, there, and everywhere. Tylee and I really enjoyed every minute we had with him. We especially loved our trip to Hawaii!! Ty was in heaven with her cousins knocking on our door every morning for ten days. We had a blast!
We are now living in a house and loving having a little bit more room. We have done quite a bit to make it a home. Thanks to our handy dandy Jared! He can do anything! Our door is always open if any of you want to take a trip up here to Rexburg! I am enjoying everyday with Tylee because she is always doing something new and growing up way too fast. I go to work on Thursday afternoons which is nice to get a little bit of change of scenery.
All in All we are doing GREAT!! We are loving life together as 3 crazy people with lots of laughs.
I will post some pictures as soon as I can figure out why they aren't uploading.

3rd Anniversary
Jared and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary last weekend. We took a little romantic getaway to Salt Lake. Thanks to my awesome sister, Nicole and her husband Brett we were able to have our first night without Tylee. We had so much fun laughing and relaxing. We wished it would never end!
