Jax 1st Birthday!

2010-05-17T13:25:00.000-07:00

Jaxton is getting so big! May 13 was his birthday. We had a big party with all his family. We had pizza and ice cream. Jaxton got some super fun toys from both grandparents.

10 Months

Jaxton is 10 months old and is now walking! He can get around really fast now and loves the new freedom he has. Jax waddles around and we all laugh at how funny he looks when we walks.

Christmas 2009

2010-01-13T10:26:00.000-08:00

WE had so much fun for Christmas! We went to California with the England side of the family. We went to the beach, shopping, swimming, more shopping, DownTown Disney then finished again with shopping. It was Jax's first Christmas. And no, we did not get him anything! He was so happy trying to destroy the wrapping paper. It was a great break from real life. Merry Christmas to all! I just finished putting my Christmas decorations away this week- do not judge me! I guess I have my mother to blame, she is a bad example. The England household still has a big, huge Christmas tree in the entry way! I guess we just all love the holidays too much. Or we hate to put those pokey trees away!

Jax 2 Months

2009-08-05T17:50:00.000-07:00

My baby is the cutest thing ever! I love his red hair. We went to Cali for a beach trip last week. Jax got sunburned. It was so sad! He was at the beach for one hour and was under an umbrella and still got sunburned! I guess I had to learn my lesson the hard way.

JAXTON ENGLAND COPE

Jax was born May 13! 8 lb 1 oz

We are so glad that he is here! it is amazing how much we love this new baby after seeing him for the first time. Labor was long and hard-I guess that is why it is called LABOR! I was scheduled to be induced Tuesday night so Gordon and me went into the hospital at 10:30 p.m. I was put on IV and I got a contraction and heart rate monitor. Contractions started right away and by 4 am I was put on Pitocin to help the process going. My doctor broke my water about 7 am then the contractions stated hurting really bad! I got an epidural about 11 am. Epidurals are so wonderful- one of God's gifts to mankind. I progressed slowly and was ready to start pushing by 6 pm. After 3 hours of pushing I was so tired! Jax's head was going the wrong way so he got stuck. The doctor tried using a baby vacuum on his head to help push him out. But it did not work. We decided that we had to do a c-section. It was late Wednesday night when I went into surgery and out came with our cute new baby boy! He cried a lot that first night but has been very happy ever since then, We love him so much and think he is the most handsome baby in the whole wide world!

41 Weeks

2009-05-12T08:00:00.000-07:00

Wow!!!!! I am still pregnant. I am worried that this little boy will come out walking and talking. I am 5 days over and going into the hospital tonight. I will be induced tonight in hopes of having this baby tomorrow morning or afternoon. Wish we luck!

398 WEEKS

2009-04-26T09:52:00.001-07:00

I am so excited to have this baby!! I am 38 weeks and feeling tired, sore and cranky! This little boy was breech and the doctor was worried that I would have to delivere c-section. So we scheduled an external version where the dr puts jelly all over your belly and pushing the baby head down from the outside. I guess it hurts really bad!!! Well the morning of the procedure Gordon and I went to the hospital and got all ready for the dr. Then right before we started i had an unltra sound and he was already head down on his own!!!!! (I think the blessing I got the right before from Gordon helped) So now I just have to wait- I hate that sometimes!

Big Belly

This is what it looks like when I look down! Can you see my feet?

Baby Boy!

2009-01-29T21:09:00.000-08:00

We are so excited to annouce that we are having a BOY! I was sure that we were having a boy months before we found out. I have been craving doritos chips and anything salty and crunchy. I am now six months along and feeling him kick and move around all day long. We are still on schdeule to deliver this kid on May 8, 2009. I hope that he comes on time and not before because Gordon will finish finals at the University of Utah on May 7! I will just have to relax and see what happens. We are excited to become parents but I worry that we have no idea what we are getting ourselves into. We look forward to the new challenges this will bring o our lives. I also included a photo of my new curves!

Christmas Time

2008-12-10T13:42:00.000-08:00

Gordon and me are expecting a big surprise. We are having a baby! I am due May 8, 2009. We will go to the doctor on December 22 to find out the gender of our little package. I think it is a boy because I keep dreaming about baby boys, plus that is my hunch. Gordon has been bugging me because whenever I say that he says well you have a 50% chance. I think I am more intune then just a percentage, it is my body we are talking about here! But I will be happy either way becasue I want several children and it does not really matter to me how we get started as long as we end up with at least one of each! I am so excited to be a mom and excited that we are making some sacrifices so that I can stay home. We will be poor but I am sure we will be happy and healthy. Merry Christmas to all!

Cute Baby

Girls at Lagoon

2008-07-16T21:04:00.000-07:00

We went to Lagoon last week with Gordon's family and my family. It was HOT!!!! So I spent most the day at Lagoon-a-beach reading a book. Gordon loved going on all the rollercoasters and we left early and now we do not have to go again till next year!

Special Needs Mutual

2008-07-16T20:58:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, I helped my Aunt Joan with her calling in Special needs mutual. I helped teach some basic flower arranging skills and make small arrangements with many of the girls. When we were all done, we delivered them to a local rest home and visited with the elderly. It was so fun to share my knowledge and spend some time with lots of great people!

July is already here

2008-07-09T19:16:00.000-07:00

I love having summer off from working/teacher. I can not believe that it is already July! My summer is flying by and I have not finished all the projects I planned on doing. It seems that there is never enough time to finish everything. I do seem to always find the time to watch the bacholette and So You Think You Can Dance, but the laundry and dishes can wait right?

Wow! I am surprised how easy this wil be. I am excited to journal my life and always have those memories. So, this Sunday will Gordons and mine two year anniversary! We have made it two years now and ready to last fifty more. We will be going up to Park City to celebrate. We are going to go for a hike and then to a great dinner. And we are staying at the Miner's Club resort-it is so nice and fancy. I am so excited to give Gordon his gift-but I won't ruin the surprise!
