Happy Mother's Day!

How crazy is it that I got to celebrate Mothers Day? Well I'll tell you, it was super crazy! I know My baby is not here for another 3 months but my family did a lot to make me feel like I was a mother. I told my husband that I didn't want him to get me anything because technically I'm not an "official" mom. But he came and woke me up and got me the cutest card! I loved it so much and thought it was so nice of him to get that for me. I also received a king size candy bar from church, a flower from my sister in law and a hanging basket from my father in law. I really enjoyed Mothers day but then I was a little sad. I didn't get to see my mom at all that day. I hope I show my mom everyday how much I love and appreciate the things she does for me. I love that my daughter will have her as a grandmother.....Oh wait she doesn't want to be called grandma, she wants to be called Muz! Cute right?! My mom has been an amazing role model in my life and I hope that I can take the lessons that she has taught me and take them into my own life when my baby girl come. I love you so much mom HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

And if you didn't get it from the title we are naming her Marley. Words cannot describe how much I love this little girl. Now that she's getting bigger and I can feel her moving and kicking all the time it's starting to feel more real. I just want to hold her and just cuddle her. She is already so loved not just by me but her daddy. We went to Idaho Falls yesterday to look for some baby stuff, Taylor was so excited! He was a big helper with picking out cute little outfits and our stroller. He is going to be such a great dad! I can't wait to see him with Marley.

This is our little girl at 8 weeks.

Happy Easter

Easter Is probably one of my most favorite holidays! My Grandma Atkinson has a tradition where we get together the Saturday before Easter and have a fun family lunch and a HUGE! Easter egg hunt. We usually go to Grandmas for lunch but they had to go to a funeral so they weren't able to be at the lunch, so this year we went to my Aunt Amy's house and had our lunch.
We have a tradition that every family brings some kind of lunch, we then put a number on them and we have everyone draw a number and whatever number you get that's the food you will be eating plus the number you get will be the person you get to eat with. For the past 3 years I've had my little brother Kreed and low and behold we got each other again this year! We always have so much fun with each other. We had a yummy sandwich with apples slices, pickles, pringles chips and cheese. Like I said it was YUMMY!
After our lunch we went over to Grandmas and had our Easter egg hunt. It's always a blast to look for Easter eggs no matter how old you are. I had to go to work after the hunt but besides that everything was so much FUN!
Easter Sunday after church we went to Grandma Atkinsons and ate our Easter dinner once again it was so YUMMY!!! After we got done with dinner we went to Taylor's family's house to spend one last time with his sister before she moves to Virginia. I love my family so much! I really am so blessed to have them in my life.

My Best Friends Endowment Session

Going to the Temple for the first time is an exciting and scarey time. I remember the first time I took my endowments out, I really had no idea what to expect. I was so happy that I had so much love and support from not only my own family but from my husbands family.
Today I went to my best friends endowment session. She looked so beautiful! I loved that I was able to be their with her parents to support her. I can't believe that she's going on a mission, Valerie and I have been best friends since 4th grade and our friendship has grown stronger and stronger everyday.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I am going to miss Valerie. She has been the one I go to when I feel like the world is going to end and crash down on me. But this is something that the Lord wants my friend to do, she is going to be an amazing missionary and is going to change the lives of so many people. she is a wonderful person and who ever gets her for a mission companion is in for the best time of her life. I love you Val!!!

Green Dinner At Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson's House

I am so late blogging about St. Patricks Day. I know It's not a huge holiday, but in my family every little holiday is a huge holiday. My Grandparents gets the whole family together for one amazing green dinner. Everyone comes dressed in green and the party begins. My Grandma is probably one of the best cooks I know, she made a yummy chicken casserole with green salad, green veggies, green jello even the drinks were green, like I said my grandparents go all out on holidays and it's never boring. I really have the best family in the whole wide world I love them so much and I'm so blessed to have them as a part of my family.

Valentines Day, What A Special Day

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!! Taylor and I had such a wonderful night with each other. He had school until 6:30 so we had to start things a little late today, but after he finished up with school he drove us to Idaho Falls and took me to one of my favorite restaurants Olive Garden!!! It was a nice way to spend Valentines day just with me and my man.
I'm not going to lie, I'm really not a big fan of Valentines Day. it's just a day to go and show that "special someone" how much you love them when really you should be showing them how much you love them everyday. That's what I love so much about my husband, while we came home from Idaho Falls he told me how bad he felt for not being able to go and get me some flowers. I just had to smile because flowers are nice and all but that's not really what love is all about. Love is something that should not be taken lightly. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in your hearts and brings peace to your minds.
I love my husband so much!!! he shows and brings the true meaning of love into my life everyday. He doesn't need to buy me flowers or fancy gifts just to show me how much he loves me. He shows love by waking up early in the mornings and going to school and work everyday, he also shows love by coming home and making dinner for me after I've had a long day at work. Or how he folds my clothes up when I'm too lazy to hang them up. And my absolute favorite thing he does to show me how much he loves me is kissing me when ever he sees me.
I hope everyone had an amazing Valentines Day.......I know I did!!!

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson!

What wonderful examples grandparents are, they are the only people who really know how to make any day a better day. My grandparents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and I felt so honored that Taylor and I could be there to celebrate with them and the rest of our family. We started off by having an amazing dinner cooked by the wonderful women in my life: my mother, my aunt Shalae, Lori, Amy and Allison.
After the amazing dinner we all came around and watched a slide show made by my aunt Shalae and uncle Dan, it had so many pictures of my grandparents growing up and everybody in our family, it really brought back so many amazing memories that you hope you really never forget. A lot of the pictures they put on made me think to myself, "Wow I have the most amazing family in the entire world." And it's true I really don't know what I would do without my family.
After we got done with the slide show it was time for grandma and grandpa to open their presents! The children of my grandparents got them and their spouses tickets to a Utah Jazz game!!! Also a gift card to the Cheese Cake Factory. All of the grand kids pitched in money for them to use as spending money on their weekend adventure.
What a fun, memorable day that was. It makes me excited for the day Taylor and I will share our 50th anniversary together.......haha I know that's a long ways away, but I know that everyday spent with him is a little piece of heaven and I can't wait for the many more adventures to come our way. Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa!!! We love you both so much.
