Grandma is that cute girl, 3rd from the left with the blonde hair. My Grandma has been a huge part of my life since the day I was born. She lived so close to our house that I could see her washing dishes at the kitchen sink from our living room. Growing up there wasn't a day that didn't go by →
Girls Night
Thursday Evening I had Girls Night Swap Party at my house. I asked everyone to bring something "Fabulous" to swap and it must be in "like new" condition. I cleared out my living room, and set up 3 long tables. We had Broccoli Cheese soup, a Full Salad Bar, and Red Velvet Cupcakes for dessert. I thought everything looked wonderful, →
Girls Night Out – Serendipity
A few Weeks ago I went on our traditional Girls Night Out with my Fantastic Friends, and this time it was a night out on the Las Vegas Strip to Serendipities. I forgot to post pictures but I guess it's always better late than never. Anyway, it's a fun little joint that plays loud music, serves delicious food, with a →
Picnic At the Park
So On Monday I had planned a Picnic at the park with a few of my Lady Friends and their children. Well, we decided to also incorporate an Easter Egg Hunt since Easter is right around the corner. It turned out to be the best activity!! Everyone pitched in with the food, and there were no tears or fights amongst →
Ava’s Video
This is my first attempt at making a video. I know it's a little rough, but I've had my computer for about a year now, and I'm just now learning how to use it. So please bear with me as I piece everything together. This video is of my pregnancy, and birth of our baby girl Ava. Don't worry, there aren't →
Life after Baby
Ava is about 11 days old now, and I have literally barricaded myself inside my home, refusing to leave unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. I know it's unrealistic to think I'll be able to spend the rest of my life in the luxury of my own home.... but it's so peaceful here!! I don't like leaving, and I'm so nervous that she's →
Happy Birthday Marta – 28 years old
Today I woke up to a little baby girl screaming in the next room... and also to my 28th birthday. It's so crazy that I have an 8 day old baby. It's probably the best birthday present I've ever received, but it's also the most work! My mom has been here for the last week, and sadly I had to →
Wecome: Ava Coleen Tyler
Wednesday evening, Chris and I checked into St. Rose Sienna Hospital for my induction at 7:30pm. I began my Cervidil at about 9pm and let it work through the night. At about 2:00am I got Dilaudid for pain, after that, I didn't feel a thing! I got my epidural at about 4 or 5am, and I literally couldn't feel it →
Lady of Leisure
I've probably been the biggest slacker of the blogging world for the last few months. I'm not exactly sure what my problem is, but maybe it's due to the fact that since I've become pregnant I've also felt like a total and complete BLOB. I apologize to myself for not being better at my journaling, but I'm sure I will →
Thoughts…
This afternoon was the close to a very emotionally strange week for me. Last Sunday I found out that one of my closest friends, youngest brother, passed away in a tragic car accident. It was unexpected, and completely knocked the entire family off of their feet. I could see and feel the devastation in my friend, and my heart ached →
Girls Night Out
This week for Girl's Night Out, we went to see the musical "West Side Story", and we got there just as the weather was cooling off, and it was really nice. People were waiting for the show to start, and we all busted out our picnic dinners and visited. However, I soon realized that we were sitting behind this one →
Gavin Rossdale
This weekend was busy as usual, but it was alot of fun. My friend Jennifer got us free tickets to the Gavin Rossdale concert at the Hard Rock, and we were pretty pumped to see him. I have liked him FOREVER, and was disappointed I never got to see him perform when his was in BUSH. It was the first time →
M.I.A.
I know it's been awhile since I've written anything. I try to keep up on all this because it's my only way of journaling, and I've been a bit of a slacker. I've been busy with my 2 church callings. In the same week I was called as the new Cub Scout Bear Leader, and also to the Ward Activities →
perspective
I have almost completely fallen off the radar for the last few weeks. I have really been struggling to wrap my brain around the fact that I'm going to be a mother. It's not like I'm not excited or anything, it's just been a really hard concept for me to grasp. Maybe it's because I'm a slow learner, I don't →
Easter
Easter weekend was a ton of fun. I went to Mesquite to hang out with My sister Lillian, she was in town with her 2 kids, and I also got to spend some time with Gina and their 4 kids. We really didn't do more than just hang out, chit chat, and chase kids, but it was entertaining none the →
What?? Whoa……back it up…
I grew up with a mother for a librarian, so she always told me never to Judge a book by it's cover. As much as I always try to follow this wise advice, I sometimes find myself reading books just because the title is so clever, or the cover piques my curiosity. I found this book at the library, and →
One week down….a ba-zillion to go…..
This last week of work has absolutely flown by for me!! I had completely forgotten how much I enjoy working. As much as I think I hate the stress and pressure of work, it actually is so familiar and invigorating! I never thought I would say that, but I feel like my brain is starting to kick back into my →
Lady of Leisure No More – BOO!!!
I had a crazy last week. Many people close to me know that I have basically had a dream job for the past 4-1/2 years. I was hired as a Quality Control Supervisor for my company, but we only received Narcotics (that is the department that I supervise) only about 2 months ago, and last week a coworker flew in →
I loVe OrpHanS LiKe fAt kiDs LoVe CAkE
This last week and weekend have been really busy for me. On last Tuesday I drove to St. George last minute to attend a Board of Directors meeting for the orphanage. I had to skip out of work early to make it on time, but I'm so glad I did because we had alot of really important stuff to talk →
This is what sick looks like….
Yep....that's me....have you ever seen a more pathetic and horrific sight??? I was completely knocked off my feet this weekend with some mystery illness accompanied with a high grade fever, fever chills, and a cough. I'm still feeling miserable and I hope that the fatigue and general crappiness goes away soon....at least so I can get the energy to comb →
wIlL yOu Be mY fRiEnD?
Okay, I have a confession. In the evening when I come home from work....I watch A LOT of tv. I don't just flip on whatever, it has to be a few select shows or the tv is turned off. One of the shows that has made this very short list favorites is "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations", on the Travel Channel. →
OH MY…..
If these photos are any indication as to the kind of evening I've had.....then let me tell you what it was really like. First of all, we received more snow today than we have in about the last 30 years. As beautiful and fun as it may seem....it is not. At 5pm I began my trek home, completely unaware as →
She’s on to something here….
I was blog stalking my friends and family today at work, and I came across a post of a cousin today ....and I think she just really might be on to something here!! I had never really thought much about it before, but yeah...I really don't think my husband fully appreciates my Awesomeness to the degree that it deserves!! He never →
OverCommitted
I THINK I have a problem. I never thought I would be "that girl", but I find myself in a bind more often than not. I am officially the overcommitted girl. If anyone asks, suggests, or implies that they need something, or something needs to be done... without a moments hesitation, I will undoubtedly say "Yes". Not... oh let me →
