We took a trip to the Zoo with about 16 people. I don't know about them but I had alot of fun! Charlie and Emily were buds. Charlie is such a good cousin he took Emily all over the place He took her to see all of the animals and the bugs. He even took her to find the toys at the playground that she would like and " not to big for her" he is so sweet! My sister Brit came with her little boy and he is such a doll i could have sat and watch him go back and forth with the animals all day! i cant believe how fast kids grow and understand things.

I know this blog has sat for two years but we now have Internet at our apartment so it makes it easy to keep up. The last year has been crazy for both Mitch's side of the family and mine. We have really been taught the importance of family and service.

Mitch is working construction and I am taking care of his grandma. Emily gets to go with me and I love it.

Emily learns new things everyday like, cat food really is not meant for little girls to eat, and a hose when pointed up in the air above the head will get ALL of your body wet. Also make up is pretty when mom does it and a "mess" when Emily plays with it. The most resent was Worms are gooey and if you show them to grandma Nae she will freak out and yell "Oooo Emily no no no!!!" then try to get it away. The last part is Emily's favorite because Emily can move allot faster than her. So she will ran a little stop let her catch up and then take off again. My girl is a tease! She has also made friends with the three kids that live next to Grandma Nae and has alot of fun with them.

Emily got some new cousins this year too 3 boys. Yes i said 3 more boys the poor thing has one cousin that is a girl and she is on Mitch's side of the family. They are so much fun and such great boys to. Emily loves to play with them all.

I was just put in the nursery at church and have a great respect for the people who have that calling. There are many reasons to not like it but really when it comes down to it, it is very rewarding. Emily is in nursery as well and has alot of fun she loves to be around kids and is very good at sharing (most of the time).

I have alot of pictures to post but will just do a few at a time.

Our little girl is here!!!

I can not find my cord to move the pictures from my camera to our blog so for now you just get the information. Im sorry I will find it in my scrapbook box when i get it all organized this week so you can see our beautiful little girl. Emily Morgan was born September, 23, 09. She is 8lb 9oz and 20 inches long. She has blue eyes and dark brown hair. Where the hair came from I have no clue but i love it! She is wonderful she sleeps almost all night long she will wake up at about 3am and then 6am other than that she sleeps all night. She is never fussy unless she is hungry or your changing her diper she is not a big fan of that.

The News of a Life Time

Now that everyone can see the pictures from our wedding we have to really up date or life. Mitch and I have been Living in Collinston Utah for just about nine months. It is Nice and small the people are very kind and the ward there is great. Mitch is now working for T&L telecommunications and LOVES it he is working with his cousins Nate and Courtney and they are great guys. Not much really goes on around here but we do have one bit of great and very surprising news. WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!! we found out on February 2nd Yes it is a surprise to us two but sometimes surprises are the best . We just found out last week that it will be a little girl the first girl on the Hawkes side of the family poor girl she will have three older cousins Terry Charley and Trevy. She will also be the first girl on the Nielsen side in fact she will be the first baby on the Nielsen side. Everyone is excited but i think Mitch is the most excited, Not so much that it is a girl but he wants to be a daddy so much it is funny and he will be a great one too. We have already gotten some things for her like the car seat and stroller, diapers wipes, a teddy bear (because all kids should have one) and now we have pink cloths YAY!!! this baby shopping can be addicting. Mitch love it. For all you women out there there is not many men that like to go shopping and any of you that know Mitch you will know that he is not a shopper he is the get in get what you need and get out. but Baby shopping has been very different! He loves it! in fact he will ask if we can go. It is great and he could do it all day it has been really fun to watch him. Right now I am 18 weeks along and can still fit into my own pants I think that is great. In fact i think up until last week my boss was not sure if i was kidding or not about being pregnant. Now i am showing a little but not much. Yes I know i am counting it as a blessing. The baby's due date is August 23rd and it is coming faster than i thought it would so far anyway we will see how the last half goes.

WEDDING PICTURES!!!!

Our wedding day was amazing. It was truly great. All of the help

we got from family and friends was very much appreciated and I still almost a year have not thanked anyone enough for what they did. We got married at the Maddox Lodge In perry Utah, it was amazing my sisters did all of the flowers for it the night before and set up that morning and i have never seen anything more beautiful. The employees were great. The only problems we had there was the microphone was not working so it was hard to hear my grandpa give the prayer from where my dad and I were standing. Also they forgot to come down to my dressing room and get me when the ceremony was suppose to star so one of the employees ran down the stairs out of breath grabbed me and apologised the entire way up. I just laughed and I think she was happy that i was not mad about it because she was most definitely nervous when she walked in the door and had to tell me "I'm so sorry i forgot you were still down here its my fault but we have to hurry we are late can you run in those shoes?". Another problem we had that day was lack of communication between Mitch and myself. We went to leave the wedding and go get our bags for the honey moon then go to the reception when we found that nether of us even drove to the wedding my car was at Mandy's and Mitch's truck was at Dave's hiding out so that no one decorated it so we had to drive away with Sham and Dave( Mitch's Brother and Sister in Law. Other than those three things those are the only problems we had that day it was great!!!

The Honey Moon

2008-07-23T21:35:00.000-07:00

Ha Ha Ha We had so much fun! we went Hiking and i honestly can tell you that I have never seen anything so beautiful as the things i got too see in Montana. There are pine trees EVERYWHERE!!! We got to see some cool little towns. The place that we stayed was a cabin in sula it is in the middle of nowhere. The nearest town was 40 minutes away and a little smaller than Tremonton ( if you dont know the size of Tremonton im sorry just know that is is really small. There was one store one gas station one firework stand ( because we were there over the 4th of July a library the town hall that is about the size of my bedroom maybe a little bigger but not much. A 2 bars and 2 restaurants and the biggest antique store i have ever seen it was GREAT I was in heaven! I wish my sisters could have seen it I think Mandy would have loved it. Oh and they do have a movie theater. Everyone told me to prepare for something bad to happen because something always will I thought ok but really never did i think that every time someone told me that they were cursing us. To start off we went 500 miles with no AC, I gashed my knee open that should have had stitches but I had no health insurance at the time so now I have one big scar. We locked our keys in the car, and the best thing of all the squirls single handidly tryed to eat Mitch's truck. I'm not kidding. They were eating the wires on his truck (That was a BIG repair bill). Mitch had his revenge though. But really we had a wonderful time we got to meet some of the nicest people! Like the man that drove 40 minutes to the cabin and another 40 back to the truck after locking the keys in the truck, and the people that own the cabin, they are angels. She even had fresh baked cookies for us when we got there. I am so glad Mitch picked to go to Montana i would not change it for the world.

Hello everyone i know i am very behind on my blog im sorry. Mitch and i have now been married for one and a half weeks and i love it. The wedding and the reception were amazing!!! My family and Mitch's family were great everything was more than i could ever dream of. My cake and flowers were the best I don't think I have ever seen such beautiful flowers. Mitch was great too. Every told me to get ready for allot of complaining and bad attitude from Mitch because the groom always hates his tux. But I have to say he did not the entire time we were standing in line. After we got in the car he said my feet hurt but that was it. I looked at the inside of the shoes and i thought no wonder men hate tux shoes there is zero padding in them. I'm sorry i don't have any pictures to put on here yet life has been so crazy i have not gone to get them from the photographer yet. If i don't go soon I think my mother-in-law will go crazy she wants to see them so bad. I do want to take a minute and say thank you to everyone who helped with the wedding and the reception you are all wonderful and everything came together so great i owe you all so much thanks We love you all. Also i want to say thank you to Ben's mom Jane his dad Rod and his sister Mady I am not even a part of the family and they helped allot even though they did not have to. you guys are great thank you!!!

Our new little friend

Mitch and I now have a puppy!!! His name Titus he is a black lab and sooo much fun and very very cute. He loves to be around people and other dogs, he is also amazing with kids. Titus already sits when he is told and plays fetch, he knows when he is in trouble, and likes to pounce on Odis ( most of the time Odis will move just in time so that titus hits the ground and gets a little loopy) He is only 8 1/2 weeks old we got him on Monday and he already knows my voice, and when i tell him no he knows what i mean. Everyone loves Titus (even Jeff he just will not admit to it:) I cant wait for Mitch to get home and play with him. Titus is the most loving friendly dog. I am so glad we got him!

We are on the count down.

I have now started my count down. Well..... OK so my count downs I have 2 of them going. One is on my phone that one is for when Mitch should be home. The other one is on my facebook and it is for the wedding day. The only bad thing about having a count down is knowing that i have to put my bum into high gear so I can get all 4 projects that i am doing finished before Mitch comes home and i turn into a brain dead bride. So far I have one project done thanks to Pam and my Dad. I also have one almost done thanks to Mattie, Shamera, Aleasha and my little sisters Liz and Julia.They have helped me sand paint crackle and paint some more. Mandy Sarah Pam and Dad have all helped me develop the rustic style I was looking for, with out making it look like a Hick wedding.

We are engaged

2008-03-15T23:27:00.000-07:00

For those who have not got the news WE ARE ENGAGED!!! Mitch and I met in middle school,then we had choir together in high school. He graduated in 2004 and I was still in high school so i never expected to see him again due to the fact that we really were not great friend so made no plans to keep in touch. I was very wrong. In May of 2007 we met up again and clicked. We spent every hour of every day together when we were not at work. I made up every excuse in the book to be with him. Of course that was not hard because our group of friend were always doing something. There was only one problem Mitch is in the Army and was leaving in a few months for a long period of time. At first I tried so hard not to get to attached and as you can tell I failed, and very happy I did. When Mitch came home on leave never thought we would get engaged we really had not talked about it to much. So when he asked me to marrie him on August 26th at 10:30 pm (the night before he left. I was so excited I could not believe he had asked, after a second I had to look at him and say "So are we engaged than?" just to make sure I was not mistaken (do to the 13 hours of sleep we had in a 4 day span). Then the true blond came out in me I gave him a hug, kissed him on the forehead of all places and fell off of the chair we were on. Ya I know you don't have to say it. The next time he came home he felt bad about how he proposed so he did it again. This time we were in Logan so out of the middle of no where we tells our friend Aaron to cover my eyes. Mitch took a drive around Logan taking all kinds of turns to get me lost. After about five minutes he stoppped and got me out of his truck, walked me over to a bench and stood me up on top of it (still with my eyes covered) . Then he uncovered my eyes, got down on one knee and proposed one more time. I of course said yes. So there is no turning back now that I said yes for a 2nd time.
