Easton

2012-01-12T15:09:00.000-08:00

Easton is 22 months old now, he will be 2 years old in March. He doesn't say too many words yet, he babbles on and on in his own little language though. He will look at me and talk as if we are having a conversation, it cracks me up! I usually just smile and nod and say "oh yeah?!". A few months ago he suddenly started to say "A B C" and "Apple" but after a week he wouldn't say them for me! He has however stuck with his favorite word "ball" and "NO" and he usually calls me "mimi". Lately he also attempts to sing the ABC song and it's really cute how he throws in random sounds and letters in the wrong places, i'll need to get it on tape. He understands a LOT of what I say because when I ask him to do something he usually will. He still LOVES to take and watch videos of himself on my phone, to dance, play with his cars, wrestle with JJ, play and splash like crazy in the bath, be read to and play with his cousins. He really does light up my life and his personality is just so sweet and fun, I give him kisses on his cute chubby cheeks about a thousand times a day! Being a mom can be hard, no IS hard, but there is no better job in the world and I don't regret this life I've got for a second, just look at that face, how could I?

Parker

2012-01-04T20:56:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow, Parker will be 4 months old! Are you kidding me?! Time is flying like crazy, I don't remember time going this fast when Easton was an infant...having two kids keeps me really busy so I'm sure that's why. I took Parker to the Doctor for his check up last week and he was between 85-99% in his height, weight and head. He is 16.12 pounds now, wow! He was not happy about the shots, he was happy and smiling till the nurse stuck the needle in his leg, It broke my heart to see his happy face change to such a sad cry. I just adore this little boy, he laughs and smiles so much. He is crazy about his dad and laughs the hardest with him. He also talks and talk a lot! Baby babble is the cutest! I love when they experiment with their voices, my living room echos because of our wood floors so Parker's voice fills the entire house, It's the best(not the best if he's crying and Easton is napping though). I only get up with him 2-3 times a night right now and I don't mind it too much, I'm used to it. The only time he really cries is when he is hungry or just wants some attention. He loves to cuddle and be kissed. He is also extremely ticklish just like me. I am just so thankful that the lord has blessed our family with this amazing little soul, I am especially thankful that I have the opportunity to be with my family forever. There really is no better motivator to follow the lord and the teachings of the gospel, I love my family too much to jeopardize that.

Also, happy new year! I have written down a few goals for 2012 that I am excited about. This is going to be a great year so stay tuned!

Merry Christmas from the Bullard Family

2011-12-24T16:43:00.000-08:00

i had every intent to send out Christmas cards this year but time got away from me, so I'm just going to post the cute Christmas pictures Kellie took for us in our home. I love them!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Parker

2011-11-28T21:56:00.001-08:00

In a week Parker will be 3 months old! Time is flying like crazy and Parker is growing so fast. I love him so much, he is such a happy baby. He is always smiling, laughing and talking, it melts my heart over and over!
Parker is a pretty good sleeper so far, he usually only wakes up once a night. I feel SO lucky because Easton used to wake up 3 to 4 times a night when he was an infant. So far life is going pretty smooth, having two kids can be tough but it's not as hard as I thought...but I might think differently once Parker is mobile and both boys are getting into everything! On a side note, just in the last month Easton broke my CD clock radio, our Wii, and our clear play DVD player and my necklace that I had just bought and wore only once(he ripped it off my neck)...I blame myself mostly for not keeping a better eye on him but it's hard to follow him around while i'm feeding or changing Parker. But toddlers break things, and as long as he doesn't break any bones I will stay positive!

Easton is slowly starting to pay more attention to Parker, it's so sweet when he talks to him and touches him.

JJ is such a great dad!

Maui '11

2011-11-28T21:08:00.001-08:00

So a few weeks ago JJ and I went to Hawaii with our two babies, my best friend/cousin Sandy, JJ's three best friends Jason, Jeff and Lawrence, and Lawrence's sister Jooree. I was really fun and so nice to get away for a week...the plane ride there and back was pretty rough but we survived. We definately will not be taking any more vacations that require taking a plane for now on though, we learned our lesson! We stayed at Napili Shores on Maui, Sandy's family owns a condo there that we got to stay at, it was right by the beach and SO beautiful. The condo was also right by an amazing little restaurant called The Gazebo where we ate the most amazing macadamia nut pancakes everrrrrr. One of my favorite things about the trip was spending so much time with my best friend Sandy, we haven't spent that much time together since I got married but it was like old times hanging out all day and night.

One night the guys decided to have a doughnut eating contest, JJ won with 17! I fell asleep before they started the contest but I did wake up to Jason throwing up in the bathroom, haha!

2011-10-28T10:49:00.000-07:00

Easton LOVES when I take videos of him, he will watch them over and over and beg for more! Here is the latest video from this morning...I just woke up here so I look a little like a zombie.

Isn't he cute?!

My obsession

2011-10-07T20:24:00.000-07:00

I have recently discovered the wonderful world of Pinterest! It has seriously changed my life. I LOVE looking at the DIY projects the most, in the last two weeks I have started(and actually finished) a handful of DIY ideas that I've found on Pinterest.
First I made this scarf...i forgot to take a picture of mine but it I think it came out pretty good.
Then I found this easy tutorial for a maxi skirt on Threadbare, an awesome blog! I love her style.
I wore my new skirt that I made to dinner(at The Melting Pot) with my parents for my Dad's birthday, I love it!

I really liked the Threadbare blog and as I looked through her different posts from the past I found more tutorials that were really simple like the turban headband which I also made for myself...

and my sister...

I also made the diy statement necklace from the same blog found here, I'll post the picture another day but I really like how it turned out!
THEN I made an infinity scarf from this tutorial...I wish I would have made it a bit longer but I still like it!

I also found this tutorial for no heat curls. The first time I tried it my hair was too damp so it didn't come out the way I wanted it to, but the second time I was happy with the result.
night before(so sexy)

the next morning after I look out the pins

I also found a diy shampoo recipe on pinterest. It's supposed to be heathier for your hair and I have gone a week now using the homemade shampoo and conditioner, so far my hair's texture feels pretty weird but I read that that's normal for the first two weeks off of the store bought shampoo. I also want to make the "homemade face wash" found from the same site.
I have a few more project I want to try...I'm on a roll here with all these DIYs so why stop? I love my new found crafty side...It's ALL thanks to pinterest!

Easton really likes my turban headband too, every time I put it on he begs me to put it on his head then he runs to the mirror to check himself out! haha I love him!

If you have any great DIYs that are easy let me know! Oh and if you want to follow me on Pinterest you can find me here!

Last night Kellie and I had a much needed girl's night shopping trip to the Brea Mall. I was most looking forward to going to H&M! I got a couple things to cover up the baby fat and a couple to motivate me to lose it! Kellie has recently found a love for fashion and I'm so excited about it. I love her bold new style that she rocks on her new tiny body! As soon as I get rid of this extra 20 lbs i'm raiding her closet! After the mall we decided it was best if we didn't go out to dinner since we're both dieting and have will power...NOT! It's rare we can eat out in peace without our kids crawling all over us! We went to Taco Nazo and had some delicious fish tacos, soooo yummy! I love my awesome sister. Thank you for the fun night out Kellie!

Check out the cool furry hat she got!...jk, she's not THAT bold!

Family of 4

2011-09-27T19:58:00.000-07:00

Last week my wonderful sister Kellie(Kellie Larsen Photography) came over to our home to shoot some pictures of Parker and our new little family of four! We were singing "the itsy bitsy spider"Daddy and Parker Little feetEaston holding Parker's hand...I love this one because Easton hardly ever even acknowledges Parker's existence! Thank you Kellie! You ROCK!

Parker Joseph Bullard

2011-09-08T12:02:00.000-07:00

He's here! Parker Joseph Bullard was born on September 5th, one day after his due date! Yes, I went into labor on Labor Day. Haha. I started to really feel the contractions around 7am that Monday morning and they were already 3-5 minutes apart so we packed all our stuff and headed to the hospital. My parents met up with us there and took Easton to stay with them. When I went in they checked me and I was dilated at a 4 so they admitted me right away, I told the nurse I was very fond of drugs and to give me whatever they could...so they have me something to take the edge off and about an hour or so later I got my epidural aka my BFF. It was smooth sailing from there! My best friend Sandy and my MIL Lois came and hung out with JJ and I the whole time, I was so glad they were there to keep us company! Around 1:30 Parker was ready to come and so the doctor came in and I got that boy out in 4 pushes! Go me! I felt so insanely happy at the time and I was so excited to finally meet our new love. He was 9 lbs, 21 1/2 inches long! BIG BOY! So far he sleeps ALL the time and I have to make him wake up to eat most the time. We only had to stay in the hospital for one night, so we are home now and it's so nice. JJ has been home from work all week but he has to go back this Monday, boo! My recovery is going pretty well so far, it's 10 times better then my recovery with Easton. Speaking of Easton...he is still getting used to Parker and ignores him most the time, but he will randomly walk up to Parker and touch him and walk away. Life is just amazing right now and I can't stop thinking about how blessed I am. My sister came over yesterday and took this picture, her camera is amazing! Those eyes are too beautiful! The first time I got to hold Parker! I was exhausted but sooooo happy!I love him!More photos to come, Sandy was in the delivery room when Parker was born and she took a bunch of pictures for us! Don't worry, I won't post the explicit ones! p.s.are the pictures cutting off for you too? I don't know how to fix it! Sorry, just click on the pictures if you want to see the whole thing.

39 weeks pregnant today...

2011-08-28T20:15:00.000-07:00

And as you can see from my TWO thumbs up I am very excited about it! I didn't realize till now when I looked at these photos how big my bump is! WOW! I don't know if it's because of the baby or all the pizza I've been eating! The doctor did say he has grown a lot in the past few weeks and will probably be as big or bigger than Easton when he was born(8lbs 10oz, 21in). I still feel pretty good and I have been extremely grateful for this easy pregnancy so far...I hope my body doesn't make up for it when I'm in labor!

Cerritos Library

2011-08-28T12:39:00.000-07:00

Last Monday I met up with my mom, Kristi and Kellie and her girls at the Cerritos Library. It was my second time going there but the first time I actually went inside(so the first time didn't really count). First we ate and then took the kids to play in the water. Easton LOVES water. If he hurts himself around the house I just have to put him in the sink or bath with the water running and he is instantly happy! He was NOT afraid of the water at all when we got there and went was soaked in seconds!

Sisters(maternity shot?) Is Kristi not the prettiest thing?!

Gwen was a little apprehensive at first but she soon got right into it with Easton!

Kellie and Cami! I still can't believe how good Kellie looks...two babies and she looks as hot as ever!

My awesome mom helping Gwen get used to the water. She is so hands on with her grandkids.

Afterwards we changed the kids and went inside. The fish tank was beautiful!

We loved the cute light house inside the children's library

It was a perfect afternoon! I can't wait to go again!

Family/Maternity Photoshoot

2011-08-22T16:07:00.001-07:00

These Pictures were taken not too long ago at the park inside our community. Easton was tired and hot during the shoot so we didn't stay out there for too long and I wasn't sure if we were even able to get any good shots because of the cranky fit he was throwing. BUT my sister's photography skills ROCK and somehow she got all these awesome pictures(and a BUNCH more not shown. I adore my little family and I can't wait for the next love of my life to join us...in TWO WEEKS!!!

I love my husband! He is such an amazing husband and father.

This is Easton and his cousin(Kellie's daughter) Gwen, only 4 1/2 months apart!

My model baby!!

Disneyland trip

2011-08-19T09:30:00.000-07:00

This last April JJ and I got Disneyland passes and took Easton for his first time! We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel for the night with JJ's sister Aimee and her kids Dylan and Britney. I have only gone back to Disneyland a few times after that trip because it suddenly got super hot over the summer and my pregnant body was not okay with that!

No, Easton didn't grow a foot over night...that's his cousin/twin Dylan on JJ's shoulders.

Disney Cruise to Mexico

2011-08-19T08:53:00.000-07:00

The day after Easton's birthday party we sailed away to Mexico on a Disney Cruise with JJ's family and my parents!
I only have the pictures that I took from my phone so I don't have a lot of great shots but we had a great time and Easton loved to walk around on the deck outside. JJ and I agree that we probably won't go on another cruise till our kids are older so we can join in on more of the ship's activities and late night shows. It was nice to spend the whole week with our family though, and the endless food was great too!

Easton's 1st Birthday

2011-08-19T08:25:00.000-07:00

Easton's first birthday was is March and we celebrated with our family at our home. It was a Pirate party!

We had such a good time, Easton is loved so much. Thank you to all the family that came to celebrate with us that day.
p.s.
I can't believe it's been nearly 6 months since that day! I am way behind with blogging!

It's been a while...

2010-07-21T15:14:00.001-07:00

The past two months have been so fun! Easton is growing a mile a minute physically and mentally. He is just beginning to roll and scoot! Just last week we took him in our pool for the first time, it was so fun. Just today we took him to his 4 month check up and he was 18 lbs., 26 inches long! wow. He still won't sleep through the night and it's driving me a little crazy but JJ has been a huge help and an amazing father!
I joined weight watchers a little over a month ago and I have lost more than half the baby fat so far! I love this diet, it's seriously the best and so easy to follow. My goal is to lose the rest of the weight before my two best friends come home from their missions...which is in late October when Stephanie comes home first.
We try to go on walks around our neighborhood at least a few times a week, we put him in the Bejorn and he LOVES it! He is so wide eyed when we take our walks, his head is up looking all around the entire time. He also loves his jumper, JJ and I joke that he looks like he's doing some kind of "jig" when he jumps in it the way he moves his feet. I will try to put up a video of him jumping in it soon.
enjoy the pictures!

Easton's GQ Photoshoot

2010-05-13T12:24:00.000-07:00

Last week my sister Kellie(thatssoyouphotography) took pictures of Easton in his blessing outfit. She did a great job...he is such a cutie! THANK YOU KELLIE!

Easton's Baby Blessing

2010-05-03T20:32:00.000-07:00

Easton was blessed Sunday May 2nd by his Dad. Many of our family and friends came to our ward to support. The blessing was perfect and beautiful, I am SO grateful for the priesthood and that JJ is a worthy to give him such a special blessing.

We had the family over for lunch at our house afterwards, thank you to everyone who contributed to the lunch, everything was delicious!!! I love my family...I am so blessed and so amazed at all the blessings heavenly father has given me in my life. I am especially grateful for my adorable little boy...I love him soooooo much!

Smiling!

2010-04-26T09:30:00.000-07:00

This past week Easton has been smiling SO much! It is so fun to see the changes in him every week. He also "talks" a lot more now too.

He is still such a good baby but once in a while he can be pretty cranky when he has gas. He still loves tummy time and likes to roll onto his back. He is getting so big...he is nearly 12 lbs now and he's 24 inches long.

I love being a mother, he makes JJ and I so happy.

Easton's tummy time!

2010-04-14T09:18:00.000-07:00

One Month Old!

2010-04-07T16:34:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it has already been one month. Easton has brought so much joy and love to our lives. Every pain and ache of pregnancy and labor was worth it, I've never known such love(and worry). I love being a mother and I am so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom...I don't want to miss a moment of his life. JJ has been such a great help, he is always willing to help when he gets home from work everyday and even in the middle of the night. He has been a really good baby so far, he has his moments but for the most part he is calm and happy. He is already cracking me up with his funny faces and head bobbling...he is constantly lifting his head up to look at us. I feel like my head is going to explode with all this love i have for him, I am so grateful for my little boy and this amazing month.

...and yes, we are already teaching him to ride a bike. haha. (more pictures to come)

Baby Easton

2010-03-12T11:22:00.000-08:00

He's finally here!!! Easton was born March 7th at 10:17 A.M. He was 8 pounds 10 ounces, 21 inches long. He is very healthy and happy. The last few nights have been late and sleepless but he is gradually sleeping longer every night.

Last Saturday morning (at about 4 A.M.) my contractions started small but later that afternoon I felt they were bad enough and close enough together to go to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital at 1:30 P.M. that day and stayed there through the night. Finally on Sunday morning Easton was born! The delivery went really well and I haven't been in any terrible pain... i'm sore but it's expected. JJ has been such a great help and an amazing dad so far...he loves Easton like crazy. Just this morning JJ made me breakfast in bed, I love my boys!

My awesome sister Kellie came over yesterday and took the infant photos which will be posted soon! Untill then you get the fuzzy camera phone pictures.

Growing...

2009-12-08T08:13:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting much, I lost my camera so I'm stuck with my lame camera phone till I get a new camera(hopefully from Santa JJ on christmas hint hint). I have a few pictures of my pregnancy growth...again the quality of the pictures are not so good because I used my phone.

Week 17: Just a small bump...at the time I thought I was showing a lot, Yeah right! I had a lot of morning sickness at the time...but not too bad.

Week 21: A much more visible bump, but people still looked at me like they weren't sure. The first random person to notice was a woman worker at Arby's, I pick up the lunch for my office at work and we go to Arby's sometimes...the girl asked if i'm pregnant and I got REALLY excited and I said YES! Thank you for noticing!...then she said "Yeah...you used to be so skinny so I figured you had to be pregnant", I maybe should have been offended but I know I've gained weight so I didn't mind.

Week 27: I am currently at week 27, Everyone can tell that I'm pregnant now! Yay! My back is killing me and I can't get up and down the way I used to. I hate looking at the scale at the doctor's office every month and I'm almost always in the mood for pizza. The stretch marks have formed on the sides on my thighs but they aren't too gigantic yet. The baby kicks a lot, especially after I eat something sweet. JJ has felt him kick many times, my mom and my sister Kristi have also felt him. I only fit in 3 or 4 of my shirts and I wear my only pair of maternity jeans almost everyday because everytime I go shopping i'm too lazy to try clothes on. I love reading about the weekly development of my baby on what to expect when expecting...it says that this week my baby is 16 inches long and about 2 1/2 pounds.

I think that pretty much sums up my pregnancy so far...We haven't decided on a name for sure yet but we have one in mind that we like the most. My due date is March 6th...and I feel like it will come really fast! I can't wait for my little boy to come!!! I'm so glad that I have such a great husband that supports and helps me everyday. I'm so glad that I have such a great family on JJ's side and my side to help us raise our son.

Ultrasound

2009-10-21T12:38:00.001-07:00

Last week JJ and I went to get our second Ultrasound, through our actual doctor this time, and they confirmed that we are having a boy! I'm sorry that the pictures didn't come out too clear, the scanner made them look worse than they really are.
During the ultrasound poor JJ fainted(the room was small and a little warm)...thankfully the woman doing our ultrasound caught him before he hit the foor. I was just laying there because I couldn't get up with all the goop piled on my stomach, so i just watch in horror. He was only out for about a minute or less but his face was pure white and he kept falling back asleep. They had the ambulance come and take him accross the street to the hospital just to make sure he was okay and thankfully he was! We haven't been able to figure out exactly why he fainted yet, but this will be quite a story to tell our little boy about one day!
Here is JJ on his hospital bed...he was sad that they didn't give him any chocolate cake at the hospital.

I lost my camera so i haven't been taking pictures of my stomach yet but I will try to get a good picture with my phone and post it up soon!

It's a BOY!

2009-09-21T08:31:00.000-07:00

Last Tuesday JJ and I went to get a ultrasound so that we could find out the sex of our baby. On wednesday night my family got together at my mom's house to find out. We took a vote before JJ and I revealed the baby's sex and EVERYONE guessed that it was a boy...and they were right!

This is the cake we brought out

We are so excited for our little boy to come! He will be my mom and dad's first grandson and JJ's parent's 5th! No names have been picked out yet but we are looking. I still need to scan the pictures from the ultrasound, they will be up this week.

Please keep our little boy in your prayers...the doctor say's he is nice and healthy so far and we want to keep it that way!

13 Weeks Along...

2009-09-02T09:09:00.000-07:00

I haven't written a post for a while with any updates, sorry everyone! So far our baby is doing fine, JJ and I heard the heart beat a couple weeks ago and in a couple weeks we'll find out it's gender! I put a baby ticker like Kellie has at the bottom of my blog if anyone wants to see the progress. I'll be in my second trimester in a few day and i'm really excited about that because for a long time I was feeling pretty sick, i'm just starting to feel better which is such a releif. As soon as my actual baby bump is showing I'll put up a picture.
People ask me if I want a boy or girl all the time and at first I was leaning toward a girl, then I thought maybe I want a boy more but now I really don't care at all. I'm so excited to know so we can prepare and think of names. JJ's parents and a lot of my coworkers think it will be a boy, but some of my close friends like Sandy are saying it will be a girl. What do you think I'm having?

My Best Friend

2009-07-29T15:02:00.001-07:00

My best friend/cousin Sandy left for her mission to the Philipines a week ago today and I already miss her SO much! I'm really happy for her decision to go because I know she will do great things and become an even better person than she is today. I'll miss her random calls to me just to say hi or to sing me a song, but hopefully through letters we can stay connected and keep our bond strong. I wish that she could be here while I'm pregnant and when I have the baby but pictures will have to do. I know this post is random but I wrote her a letter today and it made me miss her so much more because I felt like I was talking to her and I get this happy high whenever i'm with her. I know 18 months will go by fast(hopefully), and I can't wait for her to come home speaking a crazy language instead of pretending to be able to speak a different language of her own! I'm the person I am today because of her and she has taught so much, I love my best friend!

Exciting News!!!

2009-07-13T10:18:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you all know that I'M PREGNANT! JJ and I are so so so so so so excited. We told our families yesterday and they were really happy for us...of course all of us girls in my cry baby family started the water works when i announced it(especially my adorable little sister kristi)
JJ and I planned at first to wait a year till we would try for a baby but we talked about it after we got married and went through the Pros and Cons and in the end we decided that we have been so blessed with such a close relationship and financial stability, so we went ahead and started trying for a baby, so here we are!
The baby should be due in March 2010. PLEASE pray for our baby to stay healthy throughout my pregnancy. I'll keep you all updated!

<3

Bullard Family Cruise

2009-07-02T13:32:00.000-07:00

JJ's family had plans to go on a cruise together to Mexico. After JJ and I got engaged they included me! We ended up going to Canada instead because of the swine flu problem.

This is the only picture I have of the boat, but it was HUGE!

I was so excited every night to see what towel animal we'd have

Greg, JJ and I stuck together everyday. I was hard to hang out with our whole group during the day because there was 14 of us.
What a lively group we had here

It was really cold and windy one morning but the boys wanted to play mini golf on the top of the ship so I geared up with all my sweaters and manned up...but as you can see it was a little tough

We only got to the second whole and JJ and Greg already started to argue about cheating and somehow JJ ended up hitting his ball off the ship into the water, this was not surprising to me.

Heres some on the family looking down at some crazy drunk guy on the dance floor.

EVERYDAY we went to the arcade where JJ and Greg played air hockey over and over and OVER. JJ also beat greg over and over and OVER!

Here are my amazing in laws! I'm so greatful for them. They also had a really big room were JJ and I played dominos with them and were totally defeated.

Guess who will win...

and the winner is JJ!

Our first stop was Atoria in Oregon. It was beautiful but not too much to do.

The second stop was Victoria, Canada. We went on a tour with Aimee and her husband James on a bus around the town.

The third stop, and also my favorite stop was in Vancuver, Canada. We went on another bus tour there but it was longer and we made more stops.

Here is my super cool sister in law! She knows how to work a tree stump like no other!

We made some new friends, but JJ was being shy.

One night JJ and I sang "more than words" for karaoke, I was so nervous up there but it was fun, then my niece Briney, her mom Aimee and I sang "I will Survive" and it was so fun!

We had a great time, and we ate a lot! The buffet was pretty much our second home there.
I love the Bullards, I'm so lucky to work with them and to be in their family.

The Honeymoon in Jamaica

2009-06-22T09:34:00.000-07:00

We had an amazing time is Jamaica, It was my first time out of the country and my first time on a plan to get there.
Here we are when we arrived at the airport waiting for out transport to the Sandals Resort.

This was the great view from our room

The water was a perfect temperature, and it was so beautiful

The food was inclusive so we ate A LOT!

The kayacks and boats are also inclusive and we had a fun time using them

Our room was at the top of the corner yellow building.

This was our favorite hammick, we went on it everyday

We thought the giant checker board was cool but it was too hot that day to really play

On our last night at the resort we had a romantic dinner on the beach, the food was amazing and our personal waitress was so nice. The poor thing had to sing to us(i guess it was part of the deal) So she sang a few songs...pretty out of tune, but it was so cute!

Our waitress heard we dont drink alcohol so she brought us some sparkling grape cider

We had such a great night!

The resort was so beautiful

We were so sad to leave

I couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon, we want to go back on our 10 year anniversary!

The best day of my life!

2009-06-11T09:07:00.000-07:00

We did it!!!

April 18th the love of my life, JJ and I got married in the LA Temple! It was an amazing day. We were sealed for eternity and I was surrounded by the people I love all day long!

I love this one!

Audrey was SO adorable that day

my beautiful brides maids

Only a true best friend would climb up a burning hot dress to fix the bride's slip. I love you Sandy!

My Family

JJ's Family

I LOVED our cake!

At the reception my three new nieces sang a BEAUTIFUL song, we were blown away.

My dad gave a really nice speech, it was so sweet, I love my dad!

JJ's dad have the funniest speech, everyone was laughing!

My cousin Cara caught the bouquet, you go girl!

JJ's good friend Lawrence caught the guarder!

The dancing was so fun

Audrey and Chris ripped up that dance floor ALL night!

At the end of the night I wouldn't stop talking to everyone so JJ had to sweep me off my feet and run out to the car(It took me by total surprise!)

I would like to thank everyone for all that they did to prepare for our big day, Especially my Parents and JJ's Parents for the funding and support. It really was an amazing day.

Wedding Pictures Will be up SOON!

2009-06-04T13:59:00.000-07:00

-Kacey

Next Month!

2009-03-13T13:44:00.000-07:00

JJ and I are so excited to get married next month! We have a paper chain at our work and everyday we get to watch the chain get shorter! If you can't see what the sign says above the chain it just says " Count down to Kacey & JJ's Wedding! April 18th"
Every week goes by so fast because we have been so busy with wedding plans AND getting our house stuff like furniture, flooring and paint. The paint has been the biggest pain because i can't decide on what colors i want in some rooms. Next week is the wedding shower at my new house and there will probably still be patches on random paint colors all over the walls.

I love him so much and I can't wait to be his wife. I've never been more sure about anything in my life. He is my one and only..."To the top baby!"

New Years!

2009-01-11T21:08:00.000-08:00

On New years ever Sandy, Miles, JJ and I had decided last minute to go to San Diego for the night. Sandy's Uncle Fred and Aunt Karen were so nice and they let us stay at their house. We celebrated that night at a big single's dance (which in my opinion was too crowded and just not that great) But i was so happy to start the new year with my future husband, my best friend Sandy, and my good friend Miles. On New years day we got up and went to Coronado!

We walked down the beach and around the Hotel Del Coronado, the weather was perfect. I think this picture is so cute!

Sandy decided to "propose" to Miles...they both look so excited!

We all had a really good time that day. Coronado is one of my favorite places to go. The bes part was spending the day with the people i love!...wow that was cheesy.

Christmas!

2009-01-07T21:32:00.001-08:00

This Christmas was the best one yet! I spent the whole day with family and with JJ! Here are a few pics from the day...

This is a door mat that JJ's sister Aimee gave to us for Christmas and i LOVE it! I'm so excited to put is in our new house!(By the way, for those who don't know...JJ and I found i house in Whittier that we loved and decided to buy! JJ will be living there till we get married and i can move in.)

JJ's mom Lois gave me gloves, a scarf and a hat to match the gloves, I'm sporting them here before i went out in the cold to get frozen yogurt! Lois also have me gardening tools for my new house!

This picture of Kellie was on Christmas morning when she saw what santa brought for her! I think that's hand soap in her hand...just what she wanted!!!

JJ gave me a bunch of fun cute things, but i must say...my favorite was the puzzle. He gave me a puzzle to put together and it was a picture of the two of us! On the back of the puzzle he drew the two of us saying our cheesy relationship motto "to the top!" It means that we are aiming for the celetrial kingdom! TO THE TOP BABY! Whooo!

Thank you to everyone that made this holiday so amazing. I have the best family! I love you all.

An eventful thanksgiving

2008-11-28T20:52:00.000-08:00

Okay...so on Thursday morning JJ picked me up so that we could hang out and celebrate his 24th Birthday before the Thanksgiving dinner. He said he wanted to go to the park and hang out and so we went to a small park near his house and he put down a blanket and then he gave me a teddy bear with a rose(which i thought was strange because it was HIS birthday!) There was also a card attached to the bear with a picture us on the front and when i opened the card it said "WILL YOU MARRY ME?...(say yes)" I just gasped and then he pulled out the ring and i said yes of course! We sat there for a while and talked about how exited we both are then went to my house to report the news to my parents! When i walked into my house my dad was standing there and i held my left hand up to my face with a big smile and he said..."what? Is something different?" and i said yes and he just didn't know what it was! He kept guessing then finally realized my left hand had an engagement ring and he said OH! You're engaged! haha. Later JJ and i went to eat with all his family for thanksgiving and annouced the news and they all were happy and exited. I work with his brothers and sister so i'm pretty close to them and i can be myself around them so that is a major plus. After we ate with his family we went to my aunt Shelly's house for my family's thanksgiving and made gingerbread houses! JJ and I had to be origonal since last year we made an awesome ice cream truck(we've never even attempted to make an actual house for some reason)... JJ had the brilliant idea to construct a camera! It turned out pretty good too.

I'm having issues with arranging the photos for this post so for now i'm only adding those two pictures at the top because i'm getting frustrated with trying to add and arrange them where i want them. So anyways, yesterday was a happy thanksgiving, birthday and engagement! I'm so happy that i get to spend forever with my best friend. I love JJ so much...there is no one in the world that could possibly love me and treat me better. I am so blessed to have him in my life!

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

2008-11-22T23:15:00.000-08:00

I have recieved a large amount of complaints that i haven't updated my blog yet. I went to universal studios a few weekends ago with JJ and he kept telling me to bring my camera so that i could blog it but i obviosly forgot the camera(and JJ was very dissapointed...i'm not really sure why he wannted me to blog about it so bad.haha) But i'll try to make my life a little more exiting so that i can post pictures and make you all happy again!

Halloween

2008-11-04T18:25:00.001-08:00

On Halloweenn i went with My boyfriend JJ and his nephew Greg to his sister Aimee's house to take her kids(Britney and Dillan) trick or treating. It was SO much fun! JJ dressed as a gorilla, Greg was the gingerbread man, Britney was the girl version of the mad hatter, Dillan was a UPS delivery man and i dressed as a fireman. Greg's costume was a hit with all the neighborhoor kids...one particular little girl would scream "HI GINGERBREAD MAN!" everytime she saw him which was about 20 times! Haha. JJ's costume was awesome too but he got so hot inside of it that he had to take the mask off most the time. The whole night was a blast, i love Britney and Dillan, they are so much fun! I can't wait for next year.

I finally gave in...

2008-10-26T21:27:00.000-07:00

So i have a blog now. I'll do my best to keep it updated!
