The day we became Mr. and Mrs.

We knew each other a while before we started dating. We met when he was 16 and I was 13. I hated him, he was so rude and annoying! We hung out a few times, then never spoke again... Until 3 years later. I saw him at the La Verkin Chevron He had me at Hello.We pretty much have been inseparable since that day! We were married not even a year later. It felt so right. I have never felt so sure about something, about him. Tomorrow is our 4 year anniversary, and many more to come!

Shyanna Marie

I was sick the whole time I was pregnant with Shyanna because my stupid gallbladder! I had been really sick for a few days, and I hadn't felt her move all day. So once I realized that I had Jared take me to the doctor. My doctor was out of town so I saw whoever was in. They couldn't get any response from her so they sent me straight over to labor and delivery. I was really dehydrated and was contracting so that's why she wasn't moving around in there. I nicely explained to the nurse that I hadn't eaten in almost 2 days because nothing was staying down. She brought me some jello and some ice water and I was so happy. Labor was average for a first baby, About 12 hours. I was totally numb. I couldn't feel a thing from the waist down. I delivered her in 3 fast pushes. She was perfect in every way! 7 lbs 1 oz. suddenly our lives were filled with pure joy and happiness. She is our little princess! She thinks she is anyway. Very independent, and tender hearted.

Callie Jan

Callie was by far the best pregnancy and delivery you could ever imagine. I went in around 11 or noon. I don't remember exactly, and had her around 4 p.m. Labor was short. I got the epidural too late, so It had a hard time catching up to the pain, but it eventually did. I had so much pressure built up that she was out in 1 push. She weighed 8 lbs. 3 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. Little shorty like her mommy! She started walking at 10 months old and is my little explorer and keeps us very, very busy!

Better Late Than Never, Right???

I just wanted to share some of the best days of my life so far.

I will start with the most recent. Gunners Birthday. I was scheduled to be induced on the 6th of October. For several reasons they wanted to induce me,his size was the biggest issue. My OB told me to come in at 5 in the morning, I got there and they told me I wasn't scheduled tell 9 a.m. So I went home and slept for a few hours. I came back and they went straight to work on me. Asking millions of questions, taking my vitals and starting an I.V. I started contracting within just a few minutes. Making progress pretty fast. I was about 7-8 c.m. dilated when I asked for my epidural. They got there about 5 minutes later, got it going and all was well... I kept waiting for it to take the pain away but it never did, not even taking an edge off. The pain was pretty intense, all of a sudden I am yelling at Jared to get me the trash! I was throwing up everywhere! I had never experienced anything like that before. In the mean time I am at a 10 and ready to push as they were rushing to get everything ready. The pain never went away, so they rushed and gave me another shot of something to throw in my I.V. Anyways... tears were shed, names were called and then our hearts were full of joy! I didn't get a good look but I saw that he was huge! 9 lbs. 4 oz. 21 1/2 inches long! No wonder why those last few weeks of pregnancy were so uncomfortable. I just couldn't understand how he fit inside of me. He is a good boy.
