Puking pregnancy number 2!

2011-10-08T19:50:00.001-07:00

Looks like pregnancy doesn't agree with me! We are just about 2 months along and it's the same as it was the first time around. I'm hoping that things settle down, but I won't hold my breath. Hailie is just about traumatized by my 24/7 sickness but is excited for a little brother or sister.

We're Expecting!

2011-10-08T19:40:00.001-07:00

After a bit of a hiatus from our blog, we have a big announcement..... We are expecting again!! We are thrilled for the arrival of our baby and will keep you posted as we find out our due date.

A week with just the girls

2010-05-22T22:05:00.000-07:00

This has been a crazy week, but fun. Scott was gone this week for work and so Hailie and I were left to rule the house. We practiced writing our "0" and tracing them in her workbooks She was doing so well, and I am so proud of her. We had fun listening to "The Weepies" and she was so cute singing along and just being the wonderful daughter that she is. It was just laughes and giggles the whole time. I LOVE MY HAILIE BUG!!!

Many a crafting days and movie night, desserts, and pure fun and we are at the end of our week. I love all of my friends here who support me and visit me when Scott is gone and most of all for all the great laughes we had this week at the movies and crafting. Letters to Juliette is such a cute movie. I would go see it again in a heart beat. My favorite quote from the move was " Men are like wine, they mature with age." Im not sure if this applies to all me but, I would like to hope so, for all of your sakes. :) Today was a shopping day and I had soo much fun at Williams Sonoma and I finally used my gift card and I got the most amazing Breville convection counter top toaster oven. This is so a must have and I love it. I can toast up to 6 slices of bread at once!!! And soo much more but I dont want to seem like I am bragging. I am just so excited and I love it! I have made banana bread, pizza and just finished up a cherry pie. YUMMMMM!!!!! It completes my kitchen, for now and I am going to keep using it like crazy.

Mothers Day

2010-05-09T21:52:00.000-07:00

Mothers Day......... It has so grown on me. We always make our way back home to Gardnerville for Breakfast in the park, and this year was no exception. This year was even better!! Scott surprised me by sending me to get my hair done and then making me the most delicious dinner the day before mothers day. He made chicken parmisan, blackberry lemon bars and they were ohh soo yummy. Just to see him in the kitchen slaving away all day was so sweet. So, after a scrumptious dinner we got lots of rest so we could leave for Gardnerville at 3 am. Seeing family in Reno was great as well as the breakfast in the park and church with everyone was the icing on the cake. Hailie and Scott loved bouncing on the trampoline at Gradmas house and Hailie and Zach were having adventires across the hill in the backyard and had sword fights as well. It was a great visit and we can't wait for our next trip up. :)

I am so very blessed for the wonderful family I have and for having such a wonderful and beautiful little girl. I hope all of you mothers out there had a wonderful mothers day and big luvs to you all as well.

Getting settled in

2010-04-25T13:45:00.000-07:00

Hailie is less than thrilled to home and is completly obsessive with all of her princess' and loves looking at all of her pictures and dressing up. Everything is all about being a princess and she absolutly fits the part. We are super busy and just playing catch up from vacation. Hailie loves our garden and is more than willing to put on Scott's shoes and go water our little garden. It is so small and comical, but its all we can have here.

We love you all and hope you have a wonderful week

Wrapping up at Disneyland and heading home

2010-04-17T21:37:00.000-07:00

Disneyland was a blast and we loved seeing all the charachters, parades and all of the rides. We can't wait to come back and ecperience it all over with Hailie. We ended with the fireworks and caramel apples, I loved the minnie mouse one I got. We did all the rides we could and just loved our trip. As we left Anaheim we were sad to be going but glad to be heading back to our home and our little Coco dog.

Last Day at Disneyland ...

2010-04-16T23:55:00.000-07:00

As we got ready for our last day at Disneyland, Hailie and I were sad ( my time to be a kid :) ) and Scott was relieved and excited to head home. Hailie looked super cute and ready for anything. As we tackled every ride that Hailie could go on in California Adventure and met every charachter that we saw, we were having a great last day. We went all morning from 8-1 until hailie became cranky and we headed back for a nap. Hailie fell asleep on the bus, and we all napped till 4. We were ready for round 2 !!

As we made our way to Disneyland we tried to get every ride in that we could.... Tea cups of course ( Hailie's all time favorite) It's a small world, carousel, flying elephants, Buzz Light Year ride..... it was a BLAST!!!! We also did Pirates of the Carribbean, when we ended the ride Hailie said " By scary " but she was too cute singing " Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirates Life for MEEE!" throughout the park and all night. We finished with fireworks, Winnie the Pooh Ride, Caramel apples and a lot of laughs. What a great family vacation. I am so excited to bring Hailie back for the Holidays at the end of the year.

Day Five... Let's take a BREAK!!!

2010-04-15T23:18:00.000-07:00

Here we are on thursday and day 5 into our Disneyland/California Adventure Vacation, and Scott is exhausted!!! Hailie and I win on the theme park scale of being able to go, go, go!!!! hehe So we decided that since we had done so much Disneyland for the last four days, we would have a break day. It was actually nice and peaceful. We did a lot of swimming and watched a couple movies, took some long naps and we went to the Midevil Times Dinner again. Let me state here and now that CHAOS follows us on our vacations!!! There was some sort of security breach at Disneyland and they closed the whole park yesterday not letting anyone in or out of the park for a couple of hours and then at our dinner some people a few rows down from us got into a brawl and started throwing food and big hunky metal dishes at eachother.. resulting in arrest and jail time... lol IT HAS BEEN EVENTFULL to say the least. lol We have enjoyed every minute of it thou. :)

Tomorrow will be back to Disneyland but for tonight, we are off to bed early to prepare for our last day at Disneyland... (*tear)

Day Four at Disneyland

2010-04-14T23:53:00.000-07:00

Happy Wednesday!! We have had a great couple days at Disneyland and today was no exception. Today we explored more of California adventure and watched The Pixar parade. Hailie loved watching all of the charachters in teh Parade adn well.... Scott loved the Army men from the Toy Story section. After the parade we went on more of the Bugs Life Rides and Hailie was a crack up. We enjoyed the fireworks at Disneyland afterwords and came back to

the hotel after the park had closed!! Love you all

Day three at Disneyland and California Adventure..

2010-04-13T23:58:00.000-07:00

Hello to all!!!! We are on our third day here in Anaheim and still having a blast. We started off with a great breakfast at Mimi's Cafe, where Hailie enjoyed a big cup of hot cocoa and a nice hearty breakfast. We headed over to the park and waited in line for it to open, where Hailie danced and giggled for everyone in line. She is such a cutie!!! We went in and met with a lot of charachters first thing. It was hillarious...... Scott waited in line and we would meet a charachter and he would go wait in another line while we finished up, so we would not spend a lot of time waiting.. it was so much fun!! hehe We went to the tea cups, again, and then off to Pinocchio's Adventure and It's a small world. Then it was off to California adventure for the swinging farris wheel, king tritans carousel, meeting charachters and soo much more. W went to the Bugs Life area where we found a water area....... we were doomed at that point. Hailie spent 2 hours playing in the water and laughing, it was a great break for her to just get drenched!!! What a great day it was, and it all ended with a great fireworks show at Disneyland.

Ohh and we have seen so many fellow Utahians with BYU appearel on, WE FELT PROUD!!!!!

Day Two ... Midevil Times Dinner and Disneyland

2010-04-13T01:05:00.000-07:00

Today was exciting and adventurous. After all of our napping and changing into warmer clothes, we headed off to a Midevil Times dinner. It was really neat and Hailie loved watching all of the horses and the neat events. After dinner we took pictures with our night and then went on to Disneyland!! We were ariving to Disneyland just as the fireworks were starting, so Hailie was elated. We watched the fireworks, and then started on the rides..... we stayed till closing and amazingly were able to go on about 10 rides in the hour and a half before the park closed at 11. All in all Hailie loved the tea cups and we went on that one about 5 times, she laughed the whole time.

Day Two at Disneyland

2010-04-12T15:42:00.000-07:00

What a amazing time we are having!! Last night we watched the "Disney Electrical Parade" and we really enjoyed it. There is only one more showing of it this week and then it will be gone and shipped to Disney World.

This morning we started off with meeting more princess' and the Tea Cup rides. Hailie loved the tea cups and wanted to keep going on them all day. :) It was cute!! "It's a small world" was our retreat ride while the rain started pouring down on us. As we were walking to meet some more fairies in Pixie Hollow, we saw "The Fairy Godmother" and she took Hailie by the hand and walked her thru the park to the Castle where she took pictures with her. it was so sweet for her to just walk along with her, it was the highlight of her day getting to walk with the fairy godmother. :)

We went on the Train ride, Scott came back to the Hotel for a swim and a nap, Hailie and I continued on to the Critter Corner to meet "Winnie the Pooh", :Tigger" and "Eeyore", and on to the honey bee ride. On to the Haunter Mansion....... where my little girl was soo scared and I had to cover her eyes and sing primary songs to her for the ride ( I FELT SOOO BAD!!! :( ) I forgot that it was a little too scary.

We traveled to Toontown to Meet, "MIckey and Minnie Mouse" and stopped by to meet "Goofy " the rodger rabbit ride was funny and she loved spinning the car.

On our way to the Pixar parade she fell asleep... so we mad eour treck back to the hotel and she is napping, getting ready for all the parades and mideval dinner tonight:)

Our First Day at Disneyland

2010-04-11T18:58:00.000-07:00

Today was our first day at Disneyland, and while we are back for a change of clothes and some dinner... we will be heading back down for light parades and rides until midnight. (we are crazy!)

We started our day by meeting "The Queen" from Snow White, then "Ariel", "Cinderella", "Snow White" and Princess Tiana. We made our way to Pixie Hollow where we met " Tinker Bell" and "Iridessa" Hailie has just been so excited for everything. We went to the Playhouse Disney live show at California Adventure, and watched a "High School Musical 3" parade, where Hailie just danced along and sang. I will post more as the days go on. :) We gave Hailie a camelback filled with water and gaterade and it was AMAZING!!!! We didnt hassle with drinks and such and she loved it. Towards the end of the day she figured out how to turn it on and off... soo cute.

Family Trip to Monterey....

2010-04-10T23:36:00.000-07:00

We had a great trip to Monterey for Scotts birthday this week, and it was a blast!! We stayed withing walking distance to the ocean and loved it all!! We were able to visit with my dad and Hailie was so excited.

Hailie and Scott made sandcastles, Hailie and I buerried Scott in the sand and we all played football on the beach, it was a great family day.

Long week!!

2010-03-21T22:21:00.000-07:00

This week was great! Hailie and I have been baking like crazy all week long. She is such a cute helper and I love teaching her things. I hope one day she will enjoy baking and crafting as much as I do. For St. Patrick's Day we had green cream of wheat..... it was soo yummy and Hailie was enthralled with it being green. :) FUN!!! We had the missionaries over on Wednesday for St. Patrick's Day and they had a blast. I made homemade mint oreo green ice cream, Costa Vida ( Utah thing) tacos, and it was all so yummy!! It was great to have them over.

The rest of the week was great as well with taking care of Grandma and Grandpa Jensen ( my great-grandpas niece and her husband) extended family, but all the same. While driving over to see them this week we saw this beautiful rainbow, and I just had to take a picture of it with my phone, nearly running off into a field.. hehe. I love being down the street from them and it is so great to hear stories about Papa and how they remember him. Makes me miss him but also remember what a great man he was and what a great example he was to me and our whole family. I am blessed!!

Ohh.... church on sunday..... hehehe. So Leesa was out of town (Jensens' daughter) and I subed for her in Primary for singing time, can I just say I think that is the most difficult calling in the ward!!! I was wearing 4" heels and doing squats getting the kids to stand up and sit down while singing.. what a work out!!! Whew.... I will stick to relief society from now on :) I admire Leesa for what an amzing job she does. Hailie thought it was so much fun to have mommy singing in Nursery and I was so proud of her for being the only one singing all of the songs in there. :) Yay..... she knows something!!! LOL

I hope you all have a great week and we love you all!!!

Reno Trip, Yay!!!

2010-03-14T21:13:00.000-07:00

Hailie and I went to Reno this weekend for my little sisters 10th birthday and my niece's 2nd birthday. We had so much fun and I always love seeing everyone there. Hailie was so great sharing with Sophia and so cute with all of her Grandma's and Grandpa's, Aunt's and Uncle's. I loved the break I got while she would play with the kids, it makes me so happy to see her having a blast with all of the other kids. There are just some things a mom cant do!! Look how cute bato and I are... she's so grown up :( I luv her!! My little sis.. Seriously, look at all those kids on the Luv sac! Hailie was out cold with the fireplace keeping her warm, so.... Abby, Zach and Logan cuddled up next to her and took a snooze as well.... SUPER CUTE KIDS!!!!!

So we rushed home from Reno just in time for me to teach Relief Society and we made it just in time!! I was exhausted, but soo enjoyed teaching. It was the lesson on Agency........ it was so meant for me. After everything I've been thru and to be at the temple now is just so amazing and refreshing. I love my ward and my extended family in town. Ohh and mom and dad helped me soo much with my lesson, I will be eternaly greatful to them for their help. :)

Luv ya all, and until next time. LUVS!!!!

Playing Catch Up....

2010-03-01T21:03:00.000-08:00

Things have been busy busy and crazy around here. We have been going non stop! As the seasons have been changing we have been enjoying every minute of it! One day it is 75 degrees here and the next it 62 with roaring wind and rain..... lol It's Cali, and we are still adjusting.

Hailie is growing up so much each day and it seems like just yesterday she was a little baby in our arms. We love her so much and she keeps us on our toes 24/7. She is continuing to learn all of her ABC's and loves singing her ABC's and lots of other primary songs. She loves all of her colors and points out colors wherever we are, so adorable!

Scott had been working on fixing my great-grandpa's broken chainsaw and was determined to do so without spending a dime, well... he did it! Everyone else wanted to trash it but he convinced he could fix it, it was a great challenge that he conquered. Yay Scottie!!!

I have still been working away here on the property and vinyl has been going well. I have enjoyed my weekly temple trips and just love it when hailie is outside waiting when I am done. Her and scott walk around the grounds and I love it.

Well, I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to post every sunday night,....I think that will work. :) Have a great day!

Happy Valentines Day!!

2010-02-15T19:53:00.000-08:00

Ahhhhh !!!! I am such a slacker. Things have been soo busy lately I have neglected you all on here. We have been super busy with our Hailie bug and all the energy that she relentlesly has for us. She is doing well counting and singing to us all the time. She can sing I am a child of god to you, all 4 versus!! She is a riot!!

With this new Year Scott and I have made a goal to become more self reliant. Making homemade laundry detergent is our first change in becomming self reliant. We have made our first batch for our family home evening tonight and I am anxious to start using it.

We love you all and hope you all had a great Valentines Day and wish you the best of everything.

Our trip to Utah

2009-12-15T22:41:00.000-08:00

Well... what an amazing trip to Utah we had. I was so blessed to have my family with me. We went up and were able to see family, go to Temple Square and go thru the Salt Lake temple. :) yay!! There was so much snow and we loved it a lot. While Scott and Roy were skiing at the Canyons in Park City, the rest of us went down to temple square. My little brother Logan who is 6 asked to meet President Uchtdorf from ths LDS first presidency for CHristmas. So, my wonderful grandma found out when about he would be in the office and we went and waited the the administration building at Temple Square. We were sitting in the foyer with Elder Dallin H. Oaks walking by and then started taking picture of the beautiful Christmas tree when President Uchtdorf walks out and we got to meet him. It was such a wonderful spiritual experience to feel the sweet spirit and to meet such a wonderful man. I dont think I stopped crying for the rest of the day.

Everything was just amazing and I really enjoyed it all. We have some great pictures and I will post as soon as I can. Now we are preparing for Christmas, and it is soo much fun.

We had a wonderful feast and I am so greatful for my wonderful friend Summer, from whom I aquired a couple of new recipies. I came up with a couple of new recipies and a great new blackberrie pie recipie as well. All in all it was great and we all loved it. Scott did great job on the deep fried turkey and the seasoning was perfect. I bought the greatest pastry cutters from Williams-Sonoma and they cut the cutest leaves for my pie crust.

They turned out so cute and I wish that I had gotten a couple of more pictures of the items but it was soo late that I forgot.

2009-04-21T21:54:00.001-07:00

We have had a heat wave the last 4 days and have been in the 90's...... it came as a shocker from our comfortable 70's. Anyhow... Hailie loves playing in the water and i needed something more activity centered than a pool so...we got Hailie a water activity table, and it was the best investment we have EVER MADE!!!!! She played with it for about 3 hours and I had to pull her away as she was shivering cause she was drenched... but it was still 95* outside... hahaha. We love the curly hair as the aftermath from being just drenched!!!

Easter Pictures

Ok.. it has taken me long enough, but I finally put the 1,000 + pictures on my computer and had to pick out my favorites... not an easy task. So here you go, a mixture of Easter both at my dad's and mom's house.

Conference

2009-04-08T21:01:00.000-07:00

How amazing was conference?!!!! I was amazed at all the great things that our church leaders had to say. I had been looking forward to conference for weeks and I feel so refreshed by all the guidance we were given!! I have so much inspiration to do so much more and to be a better person. I cant wait to get the Ensign and read them all again. I love each and every one of you and am so blessed to have all of my family and my friends close to my heart.

Scotts Birthday Dinner and Cake

2009-04-08T21:00:00.000-07:00

OK... So since Scott was turning 26... yes almost 30..hahaha. I decided to make him his dream cake. Home made chocolate cake with homemade German choc.
icing. I did 2 8" round choc cakes with a 8" round ice cream layer between them. He was in heaven and the cake was HUGE!!!!!!!

For dinner he picked whatever recipe he wanted and I made it. So....... he picked peach glaze chicken and green bean casserole. It actually was super easy, only 320 cal. for the Chicken, peaches, and glaze and i don't think the picture does it justice. Scott LOVED IT and said it was one of the best meals he has ever had.

Gardening....

2009-03-20T22:55:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone..... I am slacking so much on posting. We have been so busy with church, life and work. I am so excited that we have been given an oppertunity to plant our own garden. Ok... so everyone knows that I have NO place to put a garden at our condo... and the same with other families. In relief society a lady is donating a huge plot of land for 5 of the siters to plant a garden on. We are planting... potatoes, corn, onions, beets, cucumbers, pickles, peas, carrots and more. I cant wait to learn more about gardening and gaining our family reliance. Yay!!!!

Military for 6 more years.....

2009-03-08T17:39:00.000-07:00

Well.... we are officially in the Military for 6 more years !!!! After longs nights, fasting and lots of prayers we made our decision and are nervous but excited. Scott has enjoyed being in the guard and is looking forward to what he can accomplish and learn in the next 6 years. On that note, I have been appointed to Scotts Family Readiness Group as the Lead Volunteer... why do I do this to myself ? I guess it is just another thing for me to learn more about, and to spread my knowledge to others about what I know and how to support families. Anyhow, so we are doing crazy well... and I wanted to share with all what we are up to. Luvs!!!

Food Storage

2009-02-28T20:35:00.000-08:00

OK all..... I have been sucked into the diligent act of food storage. We are slowly but shurly getting it going. If anyone has any great recipies or ideas please please please let me know. I have found some amazing sites thus far and continue to look. Much luvs !!!! No matter how small your food storage is now... you can always start to build more!!!!

Hailie playing in water

2009-02-02T23:48:00.001-08:00

Hailie had so much fun playing in the fountain at the mall, it was all we could do to get her to the car. She was soaked and had so much fun. She had an audience and people taking pictures of her because they thought she was so cute.... YEP, SHES MINE!!!!

Our 4-Wheeler Maniac and Rock Star

2009-01-28T00:28:00.000-08:00

We have got our work cut out for us with this little girl.

Entertainment

2009-01-27T23:22:00.000-08:00

Hailie Just cant help herself. I came walking down the stairs and looked over at her, and sure enough she was watching Meet The Robinsons thru the glasses.

Never a dull week ......

2009-01-24T23:41:00.000-08:00

The year is in a crazy whirlwind already. Work is crazy and vinyl is keeping me more occupied than ever. With the web site being re-vamped and hopfully fully published by late February it's not going to slow down anytime soon. Scott is off work for a couple weeks due to the rain and now, my over achiever, is flat on his back with a back injury. What a macho man!!!! lol I love him. Hailie runs around getting things for Scott while he plays x-box and she loves every minute of it, but not as much as he does. Hailie's new thing is her art easle. She loves to color and draw things for me while I am working and on the phone. She also loves ketchup, or anything to dip her food in for that matter. She is loving Nursery and likes all the social time with the kids her age. I am still cooking up a storm to meet one of my new years goals to make at lease 2 meals a day from scratch. I have yet to fail!!! I am perfecting my latest bread recipie and am looking forward to getting more food storage next month. Anyhow, I will post with updates on the vinyl site, I will be so excited to get pics of everyones things up. We love you all and hope you have a great week.

Newest vinyl in the house

2009-01-23T21:46:00.000-08:00

My newest vinyl creation for our room. This is directly over our headboard. I LOVE IT!!!

Pigtails

2009-01-15T16:00:00.000-08:00

Look how adorable! She gets a kick out of it, when I put pigtails in her hair.

Home at last .....

2009-01-13T10:21:00.000-08:00

Now that the holiday season is at an end and we are finally home and getting settled from our long trip to Utah, all we can do is hope to move back someday. We enjoyed seeing everyone from Logan, UT all the way down to St. George, UT and back again thru Reno. It was so much fun to spend Christmas with family and have so much SNOW!!! Hailie loved it all and had so much fun playing with her cousins. New Years in Reno with The Fosters was fun and eventful, with lots of fireworks thanks to Roy...lol. With 2,500 miles under our belt with this trip, it is safe to say we fulfilled the family vacation quota for 2008 and 2009. Haha... like we wont travel anymore?! Work is busy and Hailie is always giving us a run for our money. She is soo into animal sounds and finding them while walking around, every trip to the mailbox is a new adventure for her. As usual, we will be in Reno this weekend for the Flash vs Bighorns Game (Semi-Pro basketball). Scott is stoked, and I am looking forward to Hailie having Abby, Zach and Logan to play with. ohh and we cant forget Mallo, Abbys new little dog that like to bite our toes. We hop e that the New year found everyone in good tidings and that we may be able to see you all throughout the year. Much luvs, The Jennings Fam

Rain... Rain ....

2008-11-09T22:15:00.000-08:00

Well, As the Winter is vastly approaching us, we are enjoying the Rain, and more rain, and more.... We have begun our Christmas shopping and mailing out of presents early. Hailie loves seeing all of the Christmas decorations up for sale and says " HO HO HO" the best she can. We are looking forward to spending time in Utah this Holiday season and seeing all of our nieces and nephews even if it means Scott and Hailie going without me. We are staying busy with both of our jobs and I am keeping a steady stream of vinyl orders coming in for the Holiday season. Scott is getting excited for all of the Holiday goodies I will be making, but not so enthused for all the decorations to put up. Scott has been pushing for a real tree this year, which will not happen given I will be the one picking up the pine needles and watering it, so it would most likely die. Besides the usual family things we are doing well and are looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas and teaching Hailie what it is all about. We miss everyone dearly and look forward to seeing you all in the months to come. We will be sending out our Christmas cards in the weeks to come, so any address or e-mail changes please let em know. We love you all. I
