Memorial-

I might add that I am almost 26 weeks in this pic. Pais is startin to get a little chair when I hold her.

The friday before memorial day I met my Grandma Knott, A. Margo, & A. Teresa down at the graves. I say graves because my mom, Grandpa Knott, and Uncle Steven are all buried there. We went down to clean up the graves even though I didn't do a thing cause I was to busy chasin Paisley around but they sure did make them look so nice. My grandma would even go around and clean other peoples grave.. She is hilarious! It was so fun to be up so close to here now and to be able to take part in this. I have never been able to visit them on Memorial day or ever put flowers on their grave so it was so nice to be able to now. I did good with holding it in until I got in the car then Jake called me and then I lost it. I loved the sweet pic of Pais with my moms grave and how she is slightly puttin her head on it. So precious! Wish I could have visited all my loved ones that day that have gone on before me. For Memorial weekend we went down to Jakes family cabin. It was so much fun as always  and to get to spend time with family and cousins is always a bonus!! Sadly I didn't take any pictures:(

My cutest little sis graduated last week and I cannot believe it! She is the last child and I cant believe its time for her to move on to big and better things. I cant wait to see what she does with her life and where life will take her. She let me take these pics of her. Isn't she so beautiful?! She is the sweetest thing you will ever meet! Love you sister!

 

So I also just have to jot down a few funny things about our 18 months old Miss Pais. She has been so so funny these days. Its crazy that she is 18 months old cause I have anticipated this age since she was born. Not that its a bad thing but thats how old I was when my mom passed away so I have always wanted to see how I was at that age and since my dad says that pais acts JUST LIKE ME when i was that age I can kinda get a glimpse of what I was like. Its sad to me that I dont remember her at all. To look at Pais and ask myself would she be able to remember me at all if I were to go? She relies on me so much for everything and I'm sure I did with my mother and it breaks my heart then I cant remember her when she did so much for me. Granted I was still very young but hopefully you get my drift. I am so thankful for the MANY home videos my dad took.. I could watch them for hours.

-Pais favorite movie right now is Little Rascals and she is so funny to watch it with. At the very beginning it shows 2 boys fishing and their hooks catch onto each other and they start tippin back and forth and so pais has to lean back and forth also and makes the whooaaaaa sound that they make. Also, when the boys meet at their clubhouse Spanky shakes everyones hands so Pais has to go around shakin everyones hands. Then when Darla and Alfalfa are on their little date in the boat and he sings to her, Darla does this cute little laugh and Pais does the laugh and then Alfalfas hair pops up and then Pais makes this other little laugh. She also makes little noises and does little actions all throughout the movie and it so so funny!

- Yesterday we were face timing with Jared and Shannon cause they found out what they were having:) So we were facetimin with them and Pais could see in the background their light switches and she is fascinated with light switches lately cause she loves to turn them on and off so she saw theirs and was tryin to turn them on on the screen. We got a pretty good laugh at it.

-I cant believe Pais isn't sayin full sentences now from all the blabbering she does. She doesn't say a whole lot but for some reason I can understand her and its so nice at this stage to be able to know what they want. 

-She makes the cutest little kiss noise and will kiss us on the lips all the time. My favorite it when Jake is holdin her she will grab his head and kiss his head, cheek, or neck. I'm not sure how long I should let her kiss his neck though hahaha. Its so dang cute though!

-Its so crazy to me that in just 3 short months our lives will be changing again. Sometimes at night when I rock Pais to sleep I think about how I probably wont be able to do that harldy anymore. And I have no idea how life is with 2 kids so who knows I still might be able to but just the realization that I wont be able to be able to just run to her every need and that she will need to learn patience fast when our little guy comes. I already know that she is not patient so I'm a little worried but we will all learn with time right. I cant wait to see how she will react to him. I am sure I will have a lot of days where I will cry tryin to get use to our new life with 2 kiddos but I sure am excited! I love to think about what he might be life and of course look like.

-I have been feelin really good and really have nothing to complain about except for I eat way to much sugar! Good thing its getting warmer and hotter cause all I want to do is eat fruit. I have gained 11 lbs so far and but I feel and look like I have gained 80!! I just remind myself that its all for a good cause.

-Jake and I have been so busy lately helpin with things for my sisters wedding comin up in just 5 short weeks. Jake designed the wedding announcement and man they are so cute!! He did such a good job! I would post them but I am goin to wait until their out in the public. I have been busy workin on her wedding book where people will write in for the reception and I just finished it last night and I cant wait to see it in person. We also will be makin her wedding video so we need to get started on that cause July is goin to be here soon! Cant believe June starts tomorrow!

Easter and more:)

Missing

This is goin to be short, pictureless post!! But lots has been goin on thats why I have been missing. We haven't had the internet in like a month so I feel so lost and dont know whats goin on with everyone but I cant wait to catch up with everyones lives again... Here's whats been goin on!!

---WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!..... A BOY IN FACT!! We are beyond words excited and cant believe that he will be here so soon. My due date is Sept 4th so that puts me at 24 weeks tomorrow.. I have been feeling great -i dont have to much to complain about:)

---We moved to Bountiful over the weekend. Jake has been workin since Decemeber for this Network Marketing company called Ariix. We are also representatives for the company so it makes things really fun and interesting. We went to a convention in California the end of April for it and some of the new products that came out he designed the stickers that went on them and the packaging so its been so fun to see him do that.. He has been loving it and its been a great job so far-- we just hope they will keep us for good!! We are loving Bountiful so far and it feels SO GOOD to have a place of our own. Everything came about so quickly! And I just have to write this experience down for my own personal sake. It was a sat in March and I just balled the whole day and I just was in the wierdest mood ever... the pregnancy doesnt help...but I just was feeling so down and depressed. So the next day Jake and I talked about maybe just renting our own place in Gunnison cause we have been stayin in his grandmas house which was so so nice because she has been at the rest home and someone needed to be there to keep all the mice out cause its in the middle of a field. Anyways we talked about rentin a place and I wandered how we were goin to do it all because we haven't had a rent payment at Jakes grandmas house and we were scrapin by but a lady I use to work with in Kanosh has a big cliental and she lives in St. George.. Anyways she got a new job and cant come up to Kanosh anymore so she needed someone to take over her clients.. So it was goin to be perfect cause I could go over to Kanosh and make some extra money to help with our rent.. So things were lookin good. We saw a place for rent right on Main street and we went and checked it out.. Just didn't love it.. not even like it.. so we were like ok whatever we really dont need a place we are just fine where were at and then I wouldnt have to stress to the max every month if we would be able to make our rent payment. Jake just kept tellin me that he had a feelin that something would be happening soon... I kid you not the very next night I was on the computer and jake had his email open and I noticed he had an unread message from his boss. She had emailed him and asked if he could come work full time in the office in Bountiful. My prayers had been answered.. I jumped up and got all excited and Jake and I both were just smiling from ear to ear... So I called my grandma to see if we could stya with her for a couple weeks but the couple weeks went realy well so we decided to get an apartment and here we are.. Sorry this is alot longer than I planned on and I know I probably don't have anyone readin this but I needed to right it down for my journal reasons.. Anyways we are so so excited and feel like we have been reborn again!!

---Jake and I celebrated our 5th anniversary.. Can you believe that??! I love him more than ever and he treats me so so good!! I turned 24 the end of April and got to spend it in Sunny California except I was inside all day but still we had so much fun and learned so much!

Anyways thats whats been goin on in our lives and once we get the internet up and running then I can post about Easter and all my other random pics!
