Happy Baby

I don't have time to write a post right now, but I thought it was time to put something happy up after that last post.

Here's our happy baby at 8 weeks!

"Who you lookin' at?"

Just Kidding!!

Isn't he adorable???

Our first kiss...again :)

Just over a year ago, Jeff took me out for a romantic date.
It started out with him bringing me a beautiful flower... just because :)

 

Then we went to Tempe Town Lake to see Ballet Arizona's "Ballet Under the Stars"

 

We got lost on the way because of the GPS, got stuck in tons of traffic, and ended up parking in the VERY last parking space there was (no joke.). We couldn't find our blanket someone had put out for us and then our picnic dinner had gotten kinda cold and we got there so late that we only caught the last 15 minutes of the performance. But it was an AMAZING date. We were both on cloud 9. 

After the performance, we walked around until we found my blanket. Then we took a lovely stroll down by the lake where he kissed me for the first time

 Scroll forward 1 year!

One excited wife picked up one handsome husband from work and we headed out to the lake. (notice the same outfits). This time we knew how to get there AND how to avoid most of the traffic. Good work honey! We actually got to see most of the show!

We even had the same foods for dinner and everything :) But there were a few differences...

1. We're married!!!  2. It wasn't our first kiss.... maybe our 10 billionth one 3. We're expecting a baby boy!!

But somethings never change...

We're still just as goofy and weird as ever...if not more so now!

It was beautiful and so fun to relive a very special date.
These came the next night...

What started as just 1 flower a year ago, has turned into dozens and dozens more since. I love my amazing husband who randomly surprises me with flowers!

I'm the luckiest :)

1 + 1 = 3

If you haven't heard yet, we have BIG news!

We are having a baby!! Well, at least we thought it was a baby until we got our 8 week ultrasound and saw that it was really a gummy bear....

Our Gummy Bear: 8 weeks, 2 cm long

Surprisingly enough, we went back at 18 weeks and found this!

A baby!

And.......

'nough said



The doctor says everything is looking great! He's healthy and very active. His favorite past time is kicking mommy's insides. He's already very strong!

We are so excited for our little man to make his entrance into the world! He should be joining us around Feb 26, 2011. Just a couple days after Jeff's birthday... then it can be a happy birthday for both my men!!

I fail at Blogging... So here's an update

Here are the highlights since my last post:

~Jeff and I celebrated our 6-month anniversary! I love you Handsome!!!! I can't believe it's been 6 months already. It's gone by so fast.

~My little brother left on his mission to Boston, Massachusetts. He will be there for 2 years! I love him so much and I am so incredibly proud of him.

~My sister and her family came in town for a couple weeks. It was crazy but fun.

 (That's my mom not my sister, I know, she looks really young and hot, but yes, she is the grandma of these cute kids)

~Jeff's almost finished with his summer semester. He got into the El-Ed program doing Special Ed. AND the government is giving him lots of money to go to school. You know, being married definitely increases your chances of getting Pell Grants!

~ We celebrated the 4th of July

~The 2009-2010 dance year ended at Dance Republic with our annual recital. It went SO well. I'm very proud of my dancers.

~I've been scoring some fantastic deals at the grocery stores. I love couponing!

~We actually socialized and had friends over for a BBQ. I'd call it a success!

~We went up to the Brinton's ranch. So fun!!

~I got assigned to be our ward's Roadshow Director. It's in November.

~oh, and Jeff found out what happens when you're an hour late coming home from work...

Argh!!! Matey! This is what ye get for coming home late!
then I proceed to attack him with my form sword. He finally recovered his senses enough to fight back. We had a lovely sword fight if I can say so myself!


So that's about it for now.
One day I will keep up this blog...

Spring Break!!

When I went to school, I chose BYU over ASU because I couldn't find any way I liked ASU over BYU. More than a year after I graduated BYU, I have finally found one... ASU gets SPRING BREAK!!!

Now you'd think since I'm already graduated that it wouldn't matter to me, but my hunky husband is going to school at ASU and that foreign concept of Spring Break came as a welcome relief.

Although we both still had to work, we managed to find time to have some fun.

We went to a Cubbies Spring Training game and because my father in law rocks, we got to sit in the Mayor's Box right behind home plate. Best way to watch a game. I am now officially spoiled.


The following day, we finally got to utilize the tent we got as a wedding present.



Yep! We went camping! I'm not a real camper but I think Jeff can help cure me of that. We had such a great time.




The weather was perfect for camping and Arizona was so green!! (Ok green for a desert. No comments saying it's not green! haha)


When we returned, I wanted to take a cold shower only to find out that we had no cold water, only piping hot water. Yuck! Thankfully we live near my in-laws and we used their nice cold water.

Saturday rocked! We got up early and went to the temple, which is one of my favorite things to do with Jeff, made a delicious breakfast, totally cleaned our apartment and hung more picture frames on the walls and such. I love having a clean apartment! and having stuff on the walls makes it feel more like home (well except that we haven't put pictures in those frames yet so we have pictures of random people on our walls).

Although this week was a break from school for Jeff and teaching for me, it was not a break from the play. So after all of our house work, I had a matinee performance, got a massage and ice cream between shows, had another rocking show that night, and ended the night by going out with my husband, the cast, crew and friends to Oreganos. We came home exhausted and crashed. But it was such a good day! Such a good week!!

For not being a student, this Spring Break was one of the best I've ever had!!

Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Brinton

On January 8th, 2010 I married my best friend who is the most wonderful man in the Mesa LDS Temple. Our family and friends joined us in the Temple for a beautiful ceremony. Normally Jeff is the crier and I am not, but that day as we were both sitting there beaming, I was the one shedding tears of joy. The day I had only dreamed of and imagined my whole life was finally here and I was so overwhelmed with wonderful emotions and feelings I couldn't help it! I felt so blessed to be marrying this incredible man. I did not know it was possible to love someone so much.


The reception was absolutely beautiful. Thank you SOOOO much to everyone that helped. It was picture perfect. Speaking of pictures, I'll be posting more soon.

I don't know what I did to deserve Jeff but I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for him.

Life = Pure Happiness

Is it possible to be any happier?? :)



I'm am so incredibly blessed.
