My due date was scheduled to be on September 3, 2012, I went into premature labor three times and never had the baby, I finally thought that after the third time the baby was either going to be early or right on time, WRONG! I had to be induced because she just didn't want to come. Marley Jo came three days late with the help of the pitocin to help induce my labor.
The night we went into the hospital to be induced I was so excited! I wanted nothing more than to have my baby girl here in my arms. We got checked into the hospital at 11:00pm and I was only at a 2 at the time, I knew then that this was going to be a long long long stay at the hospital.
The next day I woke up and was slowly progressing, It was really nice to have my husband and mom at the hospital with me to keep me company. Basically I endured 19 hours of labor and to be honest I thought that premature labor was ten times worse than regular labor, but once I got my epidural my life was at peace. I literally slept through my entire labor my mom says she's never seen a labor like mine.
At about 5:15pm things started picking up. my nurse was noticing that my contractions were getting really close together and they were getting really strong so she sent everyone out of the room to check me, and low and behold I was FINALLY at a 10! It was time to start pushing. I started pushing for 10-15 minutes before my doctor arrived Taylor was a real trooper. He watched the whole labor, at first he did NOT want to watch any part of the labor until the nurse pointed out how much hair the baby had and he was hooked. After 2 more hard pushes my baby girl was FINALLY here! I was crying a lot because I was just so happy knowing that I was this little angel's mother.
Marley weighed 7lb 12oz she was born with LOTS of dark brown hair and looked exactly like me when my mom had me, she was perfect! I didn't get to hold her for the longest time because I lost a lot of blood and to top it off I tore while delivering her so I had to get sewed up, It took a long time. But once they put her in my arms it felt like the world just stood still I don't think I've ever loved something so much I couldn't believe that she was my baby and that I got to take her home and raise her as my daughter.
Taylor is amazing with her, I thought that he would be really timid with her at first but he acts like he's been a father for a long time. I know he loves Marley so much and I know she loves him, I love watching him play with her. Every time she starts fussing he holds her like an airplane and runs around the house with her and to most peoples surprise it calms her down, she's in love with her dad.
I will never forget that day I am so grateful that I am a mother to a wonderful, happy and healthy baby. Marley is 2 months old now and has been a good baby since she made her grand entrance to Earth. She is my star I couldn't imagine my life without her. I love my husband so much! He is an incredible father I love my little family so much.<br />

Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-43653266615491189772012-08-08T16:36:00.001-06:002012-08-08T16:36:32.126-06:00My Sassy Little GirlI'm sure you are looking at this and are wondering sassy little girl? What are you talking about? Well my baby girl is not here yet but I know she's already got a sassy little attitude that is making me nervous.
Two weeks ago I woke up to a little bleeding so I called my mom to see if she knew what could be going on. She told me to grab Taylor and head up to the hospital because she thought I could possibly be in labor. I kept thinking to myself, "No way can I be in labor right now I'm only 33 weeks and I'm feeling no contractions." I really thought when we went into the hospital they would send me home, but we went in anyway just to make sure everything was okay with my baby. As we drive up to the doors Taylor just tells me to walk in and at least get checked in and he would go and park the car and be in as soon as he could. Well I walk in and had no idea where to go but this little Hispanic lady comes up to me and says, "You go to labor now? You need me to show you direction?" All I could do to keep myself from laughing was just shake my head yes, so she takes me to where I needed to go. I felt bad leaving Taylor but I knew he'd be able to find his way on his own. They checked me in and the nurse starts hooking me up to a monitor and starts asking me tons and tons of questions, and as I'm answering the questions she tells me that I am having contractions that are two to three minutes apart. WHAT! How could I be having contractions when I'm feeling 0 pain? I guess me and the world will never know.
Basically I was going into premature labor and at 33 weeks that's okay but not the best thing in the world. If she came that early she would be in the NICU for 2 weeks or more which would have cost Taylor and I a fortune and I would've went home without my baby girl. I don't want that to happen. The doctors had to slow down my contractions with this shot that basically gave me an anxiety attack, it is the worst shot you could ever get. Your heart races like crazy which makes it really difficult to breath and your body does nothing but shakes. I'm so grateful that I had my husband and mom there with me, I really don't think I'd be able to handle everything as well as I did if they weren't there supporting me through everything. After 4 hours in the hospital the doctors got the contractions under control and decided that I could finally go home. I couldn't even walk without somebody holding on to me because of the shot, I felt awful!
Things are going really great! I'm 36 weeks now I still have to take it easy but things are a lot better now. I'm so grateful for the love and support that my family and Taylor's family has showed us. I really don't know what I would do without my family.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-3103582016858925532012-05-24T10:26:00.002-06:002012-05-24T21:03:51.240-06:00Happy 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!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-52477013427925762062012-05-03T10:49:00.001-06:002012-08-08T15:57:54.218-06:00Marley RomneyYes I'm sure all of you know our exciting news but I guess it's time for me to actually put it on our blog. Taylor and I are expecting a baby girl on September 3rd! 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.

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.<br />
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!<br />
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! <br />
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.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-89264453212846461722012-04-03T20:06:00.000-06:002012-04-03T20:06:26.626-06:00My Best Friends Endowment SessionGoing 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. <br />
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. <br />
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!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-82568051228103473802012-03-29T11:07:00.000-06:002012-03-29T11:07:33.150-06:00Green Dinner At Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson's HouseI 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.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-40581280409136702912012-02-14T22:42:00.001-07:002012-02-14T22:43:19.496-07:00Valentines Day, What A Special DayHappy 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. <br />
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. <br />
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.<br />
I hope everyone had an amazing Valentines Day.......I know I did!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-9091954829415808622012-02-11T12:22:00.001-07:002012-03-29T11:01:03.163-06:00Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7zcdQlnZvWinJ8hBx97kIw0Z4XA8Bicg9Hj8u00gopv2oanHME0M8s12cz9n6zFFwhHvNBngAOVZioSoAyqCqYA3XcMb0m6kx292saxcZa580CSV-zf4zzk_rbgr_KMYzo-3RNGkuuja3/s1600/grandma+and+garnadpa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="214" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7zcdQlnZvWinJ8hBx97kIw0Z4XA8Bicg9Hj8u00gopv2oanHME0M8s12cz9n6zFFwhHvNBngAOVZioSoAyqCqYA3XcMb0m6kx292saxcZa580CSV-zf4zzk_rbgr_KMYzo-3RNGkuuja3/s320/grandma+and+garnadpa.jpg" /></a></div><br />
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. <br />
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. <br />
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. <br />
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. <b>Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa!!! We love you both so much.</b>Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-33549742805085383932012-02-02T15:28:00.000-07:002012-02-02T15:28:13.266-07:00Happy Birthday To MeI love my birthday, It's probably one of my favorite holidays because It's a day where you can look at yourself in the mirror and say, "Hey it's my birthday I can do whatever the heck I want." hahaha okay I guess you can't do <b>everything</b> you want but It's always nice to have one day that's just yours.<br />
Since my birthday was on a Sunday we celebrated it on Saturday. Taylor surprised me with Jazz vs. Kings tickets, so we went to Utah for the weekend and just had a ball. We got to Utah late Friday night and went straight to bed (we were so tired from the long car ride). Then on Saturday we woke up and went to the Gateway Mall and went shopping. Surprisingly I didn't buy anything but, Taylor did but himself some $14 pants from Hollister, he was so proud of his remarkable find we had to go celebrate by going to the chocolate factory and getting us some chocolate covered pretzels. While we were eating this fat pigeon kept coming over to us because he wanted food. So I would break of a little piece of my pretzel and give it to him and I really shouldn't have done that because the fat lard kept coming back and he kept getting closer and closer to my feet I was pretty sure I was going to loose a toe.<br />
After that little adventure we went to the IMAX and saw Monster that Fly in 3D. It was really fun. Then we met up with our friend and her boyfriend for some dinner. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. Her boyfriend is hilarious that's really all I can say about him hahaha. <br />
After we finished eating with our friends we had to say goodbye so we could catch our game. Taylor and I were decked out in our Jazz T's It was so much fun, even though we were up in the nose bleed seats it was still enjoyable. during the half time show Taylor wanted some ice cream. As we got up to give them our order this HUGE Samoan man comes up to me and says, "Can I use my hands to scoop your ice cream? It's okay I have gloves!" So I let him use his hands and he literally scooped me a mountain, It was so funny!!! After we got our ice cream we went and watched the rest of the game. The Jazz won by 3 points so Taylor and I left as happy people. <br />
I had such a great time with my husband that weekend, It was so nice just to be away from everyone and to just be alone with him. He always finds was to spoil me and to make me feel special. I love my husband so much and I'm so grateful for all he does for me. I LOVE YOU TAY!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-9529154338970688412012-01-03T17:35:00.000-07:002012-01-03T17:35:11.912-07:00Bring On The New Year.....2012 Baby!!!I can't believe that another year has already come and gone. It's 2012!!! It's so weird to say that. So much has happened this past year I need to make sure I always remember things, I'm so excited for all the new adventures to come for this year.<br />
We didn't do much for new years, Taylor took me out to Wingers for a nice dinner, then we went home and watched How to Train your Dragon and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets while we played Rummikube. Even though we didn't do too much we still had an enjoyable time with one another. I don't think I've had a time where I'm with my husband and I don't enjoy myself. hahaha.<br />
I have so many resolutions I want to do this year I just don't know where to start. This is what I have so far:<br />
* Make sure to go visiting teaching when I"m supposed to go<br />
* I want to read The Book of Mormon and the Bible all before the year ends<br />
* Prepare....<br />
* Come up with more fun family traditions<br />
* Move out of Idaho<br />
* Got to the temple twice a month<br />
* do more family home evening<br />
* find more ways to keep the spirit in my home<br />
<br />
It's not a lot but they'll do for now. I hope to accomplish everything I said on this list, I will need help but with my husband and the lord by my side I can do anything. I'm learning now to just have faith in the Lord. Everything will be fine, he knows what he's doing and he wants to help me. I hope I do my part in everything he helps me with. I'm so grateful that I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that I have a father in heaven how knows and loves me and wants me to do all I can to be more like him and return home some day. I know I will and I can't wait.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-58721383835362019952011-12-27T10:48:00.000-07:002011-12-27T10:48:46.022-07:00Christmas 2011What a wonderful Christmas we had at the Romney home......Well I take that back, What a wonderful Christmas we had at the Crittenden/Romney home. This Christmas was a little different this year. We celebrated Christmas eve with my family, and Christmas day with Taylor's family. It's nice having both of our families so close by, it really does make holidays a little more easier on us.<br />
On Christmas eve all of my mom's kids and son in laws spent the night at her house. as the kids went to bed my parents, Kylie and Chris, Taylor and I stayed up and helped stuff the stockings, put some presents out and prepared for tomorrows big Christmas breakfast. After all of that was done we stayed up and played Pass the Popcorn for awhile, then we all went to sleep before Santa came.<br />
We all woke up around 8:30 Christmas morning to see that Santa came to the Crittenden home!!! From what I can remember Kylie got a Nook, Chris got a bike stand, Taylor got a camera bag, I got a wedding book made by my husband, Paige got a Brad Paisley cd, Tyra got furry boots and Kreed got some games for the Wii. Our dad also surprised everyone with a home made ping pong table!!! Yeah he actually made the table I couldn't believe how amazing it looked.<br />
It was so nice to be with my family for as long as we were. After we got done with doing things with them we went over to the Romney's house and opened presents with them. It's funny how different our families really are. I'm pretty sure Taylor's family received more political books or presidential books than I can count hahaha. But that's what they love and I love that about them. <br />
We got to Skype Taylor's brother who is serving his mission in California that day. It was so nice that we were able to see and hear him at the same time. <br />
I love my family so much, I can't believe how fast this Christmas has come and gone and now a new year is among us, I have so much new years resolution that I want to work on for this new year, It's going to be a challenge but I'm always up for new challenges. Thank you everyone who made this Christmas an amazing one. We love and appreciate everyone who dropped by a gift or who sent us a card. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-38372989462651090812011-12-12T15:27:00.001-07:002012-02-11T12:25:17.417-07:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY #1 DAD!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpBasM3adGq__weVWwDcqNtGMvJ5riZ2Jjgaio2EozzYK8ZTfrnu5ZMtMIx-irEIQxTBavHhQRseQcHEuak_5yQDDCRqqFtmTNtmiUO_XMzXGTjVPYuHeNRGcKjKT49yrMD9trFlwZEh_/s1600/dad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpBasM3adGq__weVWwDcqNtGMvJ5riZ2Jjgaio2EozzYK8ZTfrnu5ZMtMIx-irEIQxTBavHhQRseQcHEuak_5yQDDCRqqFtmTNtmiUO_XMzXGTjVPYuHeNRGcKjKT49yrMD9trFlwZEh_/s320/dad.jpg" /></a></div><br />
My dads birthday was on December 8th and we celebrated it yesterday December 11th. We had so much fun! After church we went and took family pictures, can I also add that our family takes forever to take a jumping picture hahaha we can't figure out that on 3 we all are supposed to jump hahaha I love my family. <br />
After family pictures everyone came back to my house and Taylor made his world famous sweet and sour chicken and rice. Everyone loved it My man is such a good cook. Kylie brought dessert it was called how high apple pie i think? It was amazing!!! After food dad opened his presents mom and the kids gave him a piggy bank, a tie and orange sticks. Kylie and Chris gave him a roll of quarters, a John Bytheway cd and some more orange sticks. Taylor and I got him some new slippers and tons of Millhollow coupons. <br />
I think he had a very happy birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! Your family loves you so much. We wouldn't be who we are today if it wasn't for you and mom. You two are so special to us and we want nothing more than to make you both proud. I love you dad happy birthday.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-71910032045035740542011-12-08T13:05:00.000-07:002011-12-08T13:05:31.907-07:00Rewind......Okay so I have been slacking in the blogging lately and I really need to do better with that, so lets see how well I can keep up with blogging from here on out.<br />
My cousin Staci was Married last Friday to her husband Jared and we are so happy for those two!!! She had a beautiful wedding, I cried more at hers than I did at my own. Her theme was a "Winter Wonderland" It was so beautiful, her colors were dark blue, white and silver. They had trees with twinkling lights up with snow around them, It's really hard to describe I will post pictures soon so everyone can see how amazing it was. <br />
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We went to my Grandma and Grandpa Atkinsons famous Thanksgiving dinner. I've never left their house disappointed, my Grandma always makes the best of everything. My favorite part about going to my grandmas house for Thanksgiving dinner is she makes me my own little personal pumpkin pie!!! My grandma is so special to me, she has made my pumpkin pie for me ever since I can remember, It always makes me feel so special and loved whenever she does that for me because she only does it for me, no one else. <br />
Taylor is just finishing up school and I'm so ready for the break. I feel like I never see him because he is always in the "Man Cave" doing his homework and I'm ready for some date nights and our special movie nights with popcorn and smoothies. SIGH! I know me time is always good to have but I feel like I've had way to much me time, I'm ready for some we time.<br />
We are so excited for Christmas I can't wait for Taylor to open the presents I got for him. I noticed a present under the tree with my name on it and I am dying to see what it is. I love Christmas!!! The music, smells, food, presents, being with family, snow....... Oh wait that hasn't happened yet hopefully soon. I really am not a snow person but it is freezing in Rexburg and I personally think that if it's going to be this cold then it might as well snow. We get to spend Christmas with Taylor's parents this year and I am so excited!!! His brother Logan who is in California on his mission gets to call us so that will be really exciting to be able to hear from him. <br />
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas this year and a happy new year. I have a lot I want to do so hopefully everything will work out just fine.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-59941923619093343542011-11-12T14:09:00.001-07:002012-02-11T12:27:06.892-07:00Happy Birthday To The Worlds Most Amazing Husband!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9jJHVYPnUYZnL9Y6q7Nu0YcMh3LmYwFE6uVAt277sYPVRzG9tBDfTw_yCQpHiNWSURGkZTPYmYuBfKiM4Dj4eTcHHsVZqUMLMQdDua4fxt15TbgXuclC-j5LDZ7oNNeVwOehRpAzm2h5k/s1600/cowboy+baby.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9jJHVYPnUYZnL9Y6q7Nu0YcMh3LmYwFE6uVAt277sYPVRzG9tBDfTw_yCQpHiNWSURGkZTPYmYuBfKiM4Dj4eTcHHsVZqUMLMQdDua4fxt15TbgXuclC-j5LDZ7oNNeVwOehRpAzm2h5k/s320/cowboy+baby.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Taylor is 23!!! I can't believe how fast the time really goes. Taylor's birthday was yesterday 11/11/11 how cool is that? He thought because it was 11/11/11 that something bad was going to happen but it ended up being a great day. He woke up went to work, then school. I let him open his presents when I got home, he got a alarm clock, socks, a new wallet, and a nice fury jacket. I was really proud of the things I got him he seemed to be very happy about all of the presents so that's good for me. Then after he was all done with that his sisters and I took him to Wingers for dinner. After I let him pick a movie to watch later that night and when we got home he was surprised by all his friends that love him so much. I love that boy so much, I can't believe he's 23 the first time I met him I was 16 and he was 18 I need to keep up on how fast things are really going. Now we are on to bigger and brighter things we will have a baby soon, ( Keep your fingers crossed ) And Taylor will figure out what he would like to do for the rest of his life, wish him luck!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-18209264719934440142011-11-08T11:01:00.000-07:002011-11-08T11:01:35.832-07:00Hoping And Praying.Two months have already gone by and Taylor and I are ready to try to have a baby again. I am so excited! I want to get pregnant so badly I've been praying to the Lord every night that we will be blessed with a strong and healthy baby. I am so ready to be a mom and I know that Taylor is ready to be a dad. I see him with our nursery kids and it just makes me so happy. The kids just love him, he just eats up all the attention he gets from the kids and every time they see him they just get so excited that they get to play with him.<br />
I hope things will work out for us, I want nothing more than to raise a child. I love my husband so much we are ready to be parents I know we will have one soon.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-2767419693382429212011-11-01T12:37:00.000-06:002011-11-01T12:37:09.161-06:00HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!Halloween. It's my most hated holiday in the world, but every year I always seem to have a wonderful time. This year Taylor had to work from 10 in the morning to 11 at night so I was kinda bumbed because I was going to be all alone on Halloween. I called my best friend Valerie up and we decided that we were going to have a girls night. We went and ate AMAZING!!! soup at my grandma Atkinson's house and got to see the cousins in their costumes. <br />
After that we went to Valerie's house and got to talk to her parents and see her brothers before they left to go do their own thing for Halloween. Then we decided that we wanted to watch a movie, we looked to see what was playing at the movie theater and there was nothing that really interested us, so we went to Crazy Mikes and rented The Green Lantern.<br />
We came to my house to watch it and to our surprise there was balloons tied to my door with two cute little pumpkins full of my favorite chocolate!!! Of course I knew they were from my amazing neighbors, THANKS COREY AND DAYMI!!! After we ate some chocolate we put the movie in and right away we knew that the movie was going to suck, and guess what??? it did hahaha yeah The Green Lantern is not a movie to buy, so don't waste your money.<br />
Like I've said before Halloween is not my favorite holiday but every year I always have a great time. Thank you Valerie for spending Halloween with me, I had such a great time and I love that we can do anything together and we can always leave with a smile. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-87688427328920367732011-10-16T14:05:00.001-06:002012-02-11T12:29:35.864-07:00MARRIED FOR A YEAR!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIbQcz3X_pZngeEhaj8Z0cptbXpDlCFJm-7uQQZvc5izgXuRA1E6XWP-2lZwMUTpseCmdctsJl9XTuWL7RBudid-U8pvX0WUPdrHl3Y99R-Wz9MDgzmMzp-NU1jvoa2V81CBV_UiVgNISP/s1600/wedding.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIbQcz3X_pZngeEhaj8Z0cptbXpDlCFJm-7uQQZvc5izgXuRA1E6XWP-2lZwMUTpseCmdctsJl9XTuWL7RBudid-U8pvX0WUPdrHl3Y99R-Wz9MDgzmMzp-NU1jvoa2V81CBV_UiVgNISP/s320/wedding.jpg" /></a></div><br />
How awesome is this Taylor and I have been married for one whole year!!! Taylor and I had an amazing day. We woke up this morning and got an hour couples massage at the day spa that I work at and it was amazing!!! Taylor was so nervous about getting one but he ended up really liking it. After that we went paintballing with our friends which was so much fun I got shot in the face mask and really hard in the shoulder which gave me a welt by the way. <br />
After playing paintball for a few hours we went home got all prettied up and went to dinner at Texas Road House. They treated us very well we got to take home to baskets of rolls with cinnamon butter, and they also gave us a free pate of ribs, I think the waitress did that because I ordered the ribs at first but then I didn't want them so I ordered steak instead so I think she just wanted to show me what I was going to be missing out on hahaha. <br />
Then Taylor took me to Fat Cats and we got to see Real Steel which was so so so AMAZING!!! I loved that movie I was yelling in my head because it's a really intense movie but I loved it. After the movie we went home and I came home to my bedroom all lit with candles it was so romantic!!! HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TAYLOR I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-28247075406696782352011-10-11T21:45:00.000-06:002011-10-11T21:45:58.738-06:00From Here On Out We Look UpWe got a call from our doctor today and we got some exciting news, my blood test came back and Taylor and I are able to start trying to have a baby again in a couple of months!!! We are so excited to start trying again hopefully everything will go well this time. We are going to be so prepared for this little baby to come, I can't wait to try again.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-72454689601552757492011-10-04T13:06:00.001-06:002011-10-04T13:55:01.389-06:00I'm So BlessedI love general conference weekend! It's a relaxing day where me and my husband can stay home and listen to the wonderful men that happily serve our lord and really strive to understand what they are saying and how to take it in and try to be the people they want us to be. It's been a rough week but also a happy week for my husband and I, we found out we were pregnant on September 19th and then found out that we lost the baby on September 28th. I find this experience such a hard trial but a wonderful blessing. Everybody keeps telling us that we need to be happy and move on, It's so hard to be happy and move on when you thought you were going to have something that would last forever but it ended before it even started.<br />
As time goes by we feel more comfort and peace that the lord wants Taylor and I to have a baby but he wants us to be more prepared for the next little baby to come. We keep telling ourselves that we were prepared for this baby that we lost, but in all reality we weren't. Now that we are both on the same page, we now know that all we need to do to get pregnant is to make sure I get a shot because Taylor and I are different blood types, we also know that our insurance wouldn't have covered us under maternity so that's something that we need to get before we try again.<br />
I'm sad that we lost our baby but I'm at peace. I know that the lord has a little baby spirit waiting for us in heaven and I know that it want's to be here with me and Taylor. I really don't know how I would've gotten over this if it weren't for my wonderful husband, friends and family. I know everything is going to be okay, I know that I will have a baby soon and I know that I will have an eternal family and we will be together forever. <br />
"Though our knowledge of the plan of salvation does not explain why miscarriages and stillbirths take place, nor what the eternal result will be, we can know with confidence that God, who is the father of all spirits, is merciful and just. We can know also that there is hope. Worthy parents can trust in him and know that they and all his spirit children will—one way or another—receive a just reward for their efforts and sacrifice, perhaps in ways that we do not presently comprehend."

Thank you Daymi for all your love and support I appreciate everything that you said and I'm so grateful for you and your wonderful family. We love you and thank you.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-49826504359522397922011-09-28T01:08:00.001-06:002011-09-28T01:13:30.396-06:00A Blessing in DisguiseToday has been a very emotional day, Taylor and I lost our baby today and I am not handling it very well. I'm very sad, I was so excited that Taylor and I were going to have a sweet little baby in our home, but even though we are struggling with the fact that we are no longer pregnant I look at this as a blessing. We figured out today that our insurance doesn't even cover any maternity at all so that would've been a problem if anything happened to me or the baby. We know now that we are able to conceive a child so we can always try again. And I know that I have another little baby waiting in heaven for me and Taylor and I want nothing more than to bring that little baby here with it's family and to raise it in the gospel as the Lord intended us to. I am not mad at the Lord in anyway, in fact I am very grateful to him for allowing me to have that little baby inside me for as long as it was. I keep thinking how my sister wanted to have a baby but it just never happened but she had strong faith to keep trying and she knew that she was going to be a mother some day. Now look at her, she is 11 weeks pregnant and I am so excited for her and Chris, I'm glad that she still has her baby and that I can be it's aunt. Baby Romney your daddy and I love you so much and we already miss you, please help us to make it through this and to be able to have another special little baby. I'm going to miss being pregnant. But this is not the end, it's only the beginning. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU BABY ROMNEY!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-8727265223032610222011-09-15T12:04:00.000-06:002011-09-15T12:04:43.650-06:00One Month To Go Taylor and I have been married for 11 months TODAY!!! I can't believe how fast the year has gone by, I look back at all the adventures Taylor and I have gone through I just can't help but smile. I've known Taylor for 5 years and I'm so happy that we can't get enough of each other. He is my best friend and I love being his wife. I'm so excited for more adventures to come in our lives. I love you baby!!!! Happy 11 Month Anniversary!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-83692407947804694502011-09-10T23:09:00.001-06:002011-09-13T17:45:31.084-06:00Amazing Weekend With My Amazing Friends And Husband Taylor goes back to school in like 2 days so we got all our friends together and decided that we were going away for the weekend to our friend Cade's cabin to go boating, we had an amazing time. When we first got to the cabin it was 7 o'clock and they had pizza waiting for us which was very nice because I was starving! but when we got their I noticed a ring on Cade's girl friends finger.......CADE IS ENGAGED!!! We are so excited for him and Rachel. After we celebrated with them we all played a getting to know you game because we had some new faces in our group but it was so much fun and hilarious if I might add.<br />
The next day we all woke up and had an amazing breakfast that the wonderful men made for us lovely ladies, then after we cleaned up the cabin and headed out to the lake!!! We rode and the boat, tubed, jet skied, the boys waked board and Taylor and I got an amazing sun burn. I am not excited for Taylor to go back to school but I know he has to. We had an amazing weekend I don't want summer to end but I have a feeling that there will be some amazing things that will happen this fall/winter.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-53466123343305901412011-08-29T02:29:00.000-06:002011-08-29T02:29:34.567-06:00One Sleepless Night It's 2:00 in the morning and my mind is just going crazy!!! I have so much going through my head I feel like the only way I can get it out is if I write about it. Taylor and I just found out today that we are going to be an uncle and aunt. That's right Kylie is pregnant, I can't believe my older sister is going to be a mommy I'm so happy for her and Chris but then I'm really sad. Don't get me wrong I am so happy and excited for my sister and her husband because they have been trying for a while to get pregnant, I'm just having a hard time coping with the news because I want to have a baby so badly. I feel like my marriage with Taylor has been so amazing! I wouldn't change anything that we've done together, but there is something missing. I always said that I wanted to wait 2 years before we started trying to have a baby but I feel like it's whats missing in our home. <br />
I know Taylor is a little nervous about having a baby I don't blame him, a baby is a HUGE decision it's going to take a lot of work, baby's are expensive, Taylor is still in school, I know we are both going to loose a lot of sleep and time with one another, and lets face it will I really be the mom I think I'm going to be? And will Taylor be the father I hope he'll be? Right now I really don't know what kind of mom I will be, and I don't know what kind of dad Taylor is going to be, all I know is I'm ready to bring a child into this world and to raise it the way Heavenly Father intended Taylor and I to raise his children. I know the risk of everything I'm saying but every time I think about what my children are going to be like or look like I get the strongest feeling that it's time.<br />
I have a strong testimony about eternal families. I look not only at my own wonderful family but at my husbands family and I thank the Lord that we have them here on this Earth with us today. If it weren't for our families Taylor and I wouldn't be where we are today. I know that I can be with my family forever, not just on Earth but in heaven as well. I'm going to be praying with all my might that the Lord blesses Taylor and I with a child of our own. I will be as patient as I can and do whatever my husband and the Lord wants me to do. I guess that's really all I can do for right now. I love my husband so much he is the light of my life I don't know what I would do if I ever lost him. I know I say that in all my posts but it's true I married the best man ever and I know that we will be together forever not just as husband and wife but as a family.<br />

I LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!!Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219934587070605411.post-39394151337642294232011-08-29T01:58:00.007-06:002011-09-06T13:34:26.978-06:00Day 7/8 of our California trip Today is our last day here in Anaheim California Taylor and I are super sad but we are also excited to come back to Idaho. Our last day we spent it in Disneyland. Today was extremely hot so it was really hard on the both of us to walk around and wait in lines all day, but we made it. We made sure to keep a lot of water on us just in case. We bought some ice cream because it was so hot but right as we started eating it, it started to melt hahaha. We got to ride basically every ride today which was nice because it was our last day. My favorite rides were Tower of Terror and the Toy Story Mania.<br />
It's such a happy day but then it's such a sad day we came home form California today :-( We are super sad but it's time to get back to reality. We came home around 5:30 and went to our brother in laws birthday party. We got some surprising news KYLIE AND CHRIS ARE PREGNANT!!! We are so excited for them I can't believe I'm going to be an aunt. It will be so fun to have a baby around that I can spoil.Taylor and Ashliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11264621042342765851noreply@blogger.com0
