I am officially a graduate!...

Only from foot zonology school, but at least it's something! I enjoyed every second of my class, learning more about the body and how it works was a lot more fun and interesting then I thought! I also learned so much more about natural cures and preventive care to help me and my family. I am so glad that I was able to take the class, it is going to benefit my family in so many ways, and I'm hoping it will benefit a lot of other people as well! Over the months of taking the course I have been getting zoned myself on a regular basis and have seen such a huge change in my overall health of my body, not only from the zone itself, but from being aware of what is going on in my body and what I can do to help it. It seriously has been such a blessing in my life to learn this modality. I have always been a natural health freak, and have always sought alternative care for my health needs. I have always known that I wanted to do something in this field. So I feel as though I finally fulfilled my dream, but I would like to go a lot further in the field. I still have a lot more to learn about the body and how it works, and am really wanting to educate my self further so I can be more of an asset to my clients and there health needs. Therefore, my next goal is to go back to college. I found a college in Portland that is the only accredited holistic college in the U.S. right now, and it has all the classes that I am interested in taking to become more educated in the direction that I am wanting to go. My ultimate goal is to have a little health clinic where I can do foot zonology and Iridology, as well as being educated enough on herbs, tinctures, homeopathics and aromatherapy to give my clients a health guide on what they need for their bodies. I just can't get too far ahead of myself right now with a toddler and another baby on the way! I am very excited that I have really found out what I want to do in my life, and am hoping that everything will work out! If you are interested in getting your feet zoned I now charge $30 and you can e-mail or call me anytime for an appointment.

Our yearly family pictures!

Blush photography took our family pictures for this year and I absolutely LOVE them, Brooke is amazing! Every year around our anniversary we have been getting our family pictures, however the first year we were getting them when I was pregnant with Ashton and Kevin got hives all over his face during the shoot, so we were not able to use them and never got around to re-taking them. But I'm glad we started the tradition and can't believe that next year we will have another one in the photos with us! Thanks Brooke, you're awesome!

Happy Halloween!

Such cute little cousins! They are good little buds and love to hang out with each other!

A prize I bought for Kevin in Rome, don't worry he took it off in front of the kids:)

My parents dressed up as rockers and looked hilarious!

This Halloween was an absolute blast! It was so much fun being able to take Ashton trick-or-treating. Ashton loved going door to door getting free stuff by just handing over his plastic bag!

Is my husband really 27?...

Okay, I'm feeling a bit old, I'm married to a 27 year old with my second kid on the way! Ahhhh, when did this happen?!? I still feel like I should be in college going to concerts on the weekends, hanging out with my girlfriends all the time, living on $200 rent in some ghetto apartment, and not having hardly any responsibility. I guess if I were living outside of Utah I should be (semi-joking), but needless to say I still feel like I'm growing up too fast!

For Kevin's birthday my family and his family both threw him a little party, and on his actual birthday I invited some friends over for some dinner and his favorite pie. We played some games and pretty much just hung out. It was a good time, and I of course got the best wife award for putting it all together:). Life is definitely flying by for us, but we're definitely enjoying the ride!

Happy Anniversary!

Here I am 6 months pregnant, hating my uncomfortable shoes at the moment.

Delicious Sushi!

Kevin and I celebrating three years of marriage! We went out to Takashi for dinner and had to wait an hour and half, but we had fun walking around taking pictures and sitting at the martini bar talking. When our food finally arrived it was definitely worth the wait and worth our celebration of actually making it three years!!!

I can't believe it has already been three years since Kev and I got married! We have been through so much together, whether it's dealing with new jobs, moving, experiencing the most amazing miracle ever with the birth of Ashton, going through a lot of drama as newlyweds that will still continue after three years:), but needless to say I have never been so happy with someone. We definitely have our up and downs, but in the end I am always amazed at how much I care and love Kevin. I would do anything for Kevin (besides when I'm pregnant and tired and sick of dealing with our kids all day:)). Kevin has such an amazing heart and I have never met anyone in my life with so much integrity. I also could not ask for a better father for my kids, he is so playful and incredibly cute and not to mention patient with Ashton. I love you Kevin and can't wait to spend the rest of our years together, and if your lucky, eternity!

Playing time with Ashton

The other day I was trying to think of things I have accomplished or have done over the summer when I realized I have done pretty much nothing, other then play with Ashton. For the last 3-4 months we have been living in my parents basement while we decide what we want to do as far as housing goes. Even though I have been extremely grateful for my parent hospitality, I am absolutely going crazy. All of our stuff is packed up in storage and I have been so un-motivated with the combination of being pregnant and not having my own place, that I seriously have done nothing other than entertain Ashton. Everyday I take Ashton somewhere to play, whether it's the park, zoo, water fountains or whatever, he has been spoiled with fun and A LOT of mom time. I am one who loves to accomplish and do new things, so looking back I have been kind of depressed about the time that I feel has been wasted. Then I look at these pictures of Ashton having fun, and all the time I have spent one on one time with him, and think that I am the luckiest mom ever to have been able to have so much free time to spend with him. Ashton is so much fun to be with and is always looking for a new adventure. I have had a blast with him over the summer, and am sad to see the summer go.

Girls trip to Europe

Biking in Barcelona, one of my favorite highlights of the trip!

Overlooking the gorgeous view of Nice, France.

The most charming Italian City that I completely fell in love with!

Although the food in Italy was the best I have ever had (well next to Greek food:)), I was not a huge fan of this spaghetti covered in squid ink. It was supposedly a delicacy in Italy, I don' know if I believe it.

The Colosseum was absolutely incredible!

Drinking water out of one of the many fountains they have throughout Rome.

Enjoying some Italian music!

St. Peters Basilica was AMAZING! I could not believe how big and detailed everything was. I loved it and wish we could have gotten a better picture!

Hanging out on the Spanish steps

I was lucky enough to take my Dads spot on my sisters graduation trip to Europe! I can't even say enough how THRILLED I was to go!!! Rome has been the number one on my list of places to go. It was definitely a trip I will never forget! We started out in Rome where we spent a couple of days touring the Vatican, Colosseum, and walking the city. Rome is an incredible, gorgeous city that I absolutely loved! After wards we started our 7 day cruise where we made stops in Italy, France and Spain! A lot of touring amazing places, eating delicious food and experiencing different cultures. I loved every second of it, even though I did miss Ashton like crazy! Now that I have checked off Rome at the top of my list, I'm thinking Australia is next!

Goodbye Las Vegas

Even though we lived in Las Vegas for only 10 months, we moved yet AGAIN. Kevin got a job opportunity back in Utah where he was able to make a little more. We both felt impressed that we should move back up, even though this new job of his is only going to last until next year. I have loved being back in Utah, being a stay at home mom in Utah has been a lot better, there is a lot more to do and of course Ashton loves being able to see his grandparents pretty much everyday. We're definitely excited to be back even though I LOVED and will miss my house in Vegas!

Happy Fourth of July!

Ashton waving his flag with his cousins. Such a cute little bunch!

Waving at the parade!
