We Are Growing By Two Feet

At our first doctors appointment we, were able to hear the heart beat and everything. IT WAS AMAZING we found out that I was 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant at our first ultrasound.

When I first took the test the line was so faint, I didnt see it at first. Then after looking at it for a while the line just got darker and darker. Jonny was excited but skeptical. A week latter I took another test on a digital and well it showed up and we were both VERY excited to be growing our baby by two little feet !!!!!!!

 When we found out we wanted to tell our parents by doing something cute, we sent these little surprises to them and had them Skype us when they got it. Both of our parents were so excited and were very surprised :)

  When we found out we were expecting I took a picture, I was 6 weeks along! I am so excited to see our little baby grow :) this year on Mothers Day Jonny surprised me with this beautiful flower arrangement and an amazing dinner. I am so luck and our baby is so lucky to have husband and daddy like him !!!!!

Off the Grid Year Sum Up, Back to Houston

We will miss the sunset, our chickens, and our amazing garden that we worked SOOOO hard on. We got zucchinis that were 20' long !!! They were amazing, we were both so sad when we had to move right before we could harvest even 1 tomato :(. I feel like iv missed quite a bit this year but iv decided to start fresh. Back to Houston we go.

Crazy Chrisrtmas and Cruse updates 2014

 We spent a awesome week in Charlotte with the family, spending time form playing games to getting tazzed! We got this wonderful family picture on a rainy day.

 All the nephews just love Uncle Jonny.

 It was a great Christmas and I am so thankful to have such an amazing family.

 Right Before Christmas we met up with Bethany and Tyson Jex for our Cruse!!!!!  We had so much fun, in Cozumel, Mexico. From playing put-put to diving to eating all kinds of crazy food ( but YUMMY). We loved soaking up the sun, and enjoying all the shows.

2014 Edistow Island / Fontana Village

After playing a long game of Put-Put we got these boys snow cones!!! They loved them and it got all over there little faces:) Fontana is the best place in the world !!!!

The beach was so fun, we would hit the beach then the pool and back at the beach!!!! Those boys can swim all day, every day!

We fed seagulls and caught crabs on our daily walks! We even saw a lot of dolphins. I love the beach and I cant wait for next year.

Califorina Easter 2014

I know this post is WAY late, but I wanted to make sure to post it and be able to remember it.

 For Easter this year we were able to go to California to spend it with his family. It was so much fun, I had not met his grandma and grandpa or his uncles and aunts, and we were able to spend time with them and get to know them a little more.We were also able to visit Jonnys grandma in the hospital, that was really special for us and for me to meet her. She was not able to speak, but you could tell how happy she was to see us and hold our hands. 

 We were able to even go on a really beautiful bike ride with his uncle Bill. It started at the top of a mountain and ended at the beach. It was really pretty and we just enjoyed each others company on the ride down.

 

  We were able to drive and visit the town that Jonny grew up in Palmdale... It made me miss home not going to lie. There were no trees and in the middle of the town there was a HUGE lake BUT you are not allowed to swim in it because its there city water. When Jonny told me he grew up in the desert, I didn't really believe him.... well now I know. I'm glad we were able to make time to go see the house he grew up in, as well as the elementary , middle, and high school he went to.

 








We went to a famous stop near Jonnys home town Palmdale called Charlie Browns. Jonny always talked about this AWESOME Banana Split, well 4 bananas, chocolate fudge, Carmel, peanut-butter, peanuts, and a few Cherry on top latter we were pretty full.....  ( yep, my friends we ate the entire thing... don't judge). The pic above is Jonny after, I was the same way. This place was packed full of all kinds of crazy stuff, from all types of meats to ostrich eggs to frog legs.   

 In the Holden family there is a collectable corvette that is passed down through generations, and we took it out for the day. We drove through the canyons and national forests, it was so beautiful even if there were not to many trees :P. Since we drove with the roof off Jonny got a nice forehead sunburn, and me well just a little tanner :)... It was so nice to just drive and enjoy the ride, while listening to the radio.

We were so glad that we were able to go to California for Easter this year, seeing the beach was really nice to, BUT I still think the Atlantic beaches are better :). Easter dinner was also a really nice as well, it was fun hearing the story's of the Holdens.The trip was a lot of fun and needed. California is a pretty cool place, to bad its so expensive to live there.

Nauvoo 4th of July 2014

This 4th of July was a really fun and unexpected one, we had a cook out with some friends: Us, Alexa and bear and family, and  Gina and Phil. We brought chocolate pecan pie, that turned out to be a hit we played corn hole and hit baseballs around and just enjoyed each others company. Alexa and bear had just had their twins and it was so much fun to hold them, Jonny looked so handsome holding the little guys:). It was beautiful watching the fireworks over the Mississippi and watching the sunset, even though the firework show only lasted less then 5 min. it was still pretty. Jonny even made us an amazing breakfast to kick start our day.

We decided to drive up to St. Louis with our friends to see the concert ( the fray)  and firework show there. We got there and we went to Lush and Jonny rockets.it was a great but HOT fun trip.
