Just so ya'll know..

The post below about all my dizziness and what not.. the solution is NOT because I am pregnant! (although we do wish that were the case... its not!)

I've been to 3 doctors/specialist and have 2 more to go to so they can get to the bottom of whatever is going on. Even though our co-pay isnt much I still wish I didn't have to pay them just to have the Dr. refer me to a DIFFERENT doctor....

As my dizziness and headaches worsen each day I have faith I will find a Doctor who can help me understand whats going on! And after we figure all this out and how we are going to fix it I can then go back to the "women dr." ;) and she can help us understand more about the FREAKING depo shot I got that has been the start of my problems!

Until then! I will continue to live each day feeling like I just stepped off the Yo-Yo at a carnival and at any given moment my head may bust.

(not so fun)

Anniversary Vacation!

Robbie and I celebrated our ONE YEAR anniversary on July 25th! We took some time of work and headed out of town!! Friday to Monday we went to California. Our intentions were to go to Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor and the beach.. well I've been having some issues lately and everything makes me dizzy. So after one water ride on Friday I had about had enough! I made it on 4 before I just couldn't take it any longer so we went back to our GHETTO hotel and tried to just relax and all I wanted to do was sleep and wake up feeling better!

Saturday morning we decide to go to the Theme Park. AGAIN i only make it on 3 rides and I thought I was going to die! SUPER DIZZY! It sucked! So we went back and I was done for the day. I just wasn't feeling well and poor Robbie was bored out of his mind! We did make it to the Santa Monica Beach for our anniversary dinner though, which was amazing, but watching the waves made me even more sick! I SWEAR!

Sunday I still was so dizzy but we went to go to see The Proposal! It was a very funny movie but watching it on the theater screen AGAIN made me feel to sick! We went back and I had to go take medicine and took a LONG nap! It was a lost cause! Everything we tried to do I just felt to dizzy!

We haeded back Monday to my parents and spent the night with them. It was fun to spend time and play with baby Shelby! Jarris came home with us and it staying for a few days. We went out to Sand Hallow and had a fun last day of our vacation!

**to comes as no suprise to us that the one time in a year that I'm sick is on our vacation, that is just my luck. I've been to some doctors to try to figure out what is going on! All I know is to always feel like you've just ran in circles is REALLY getting old :( **

On the rode! Day #1!

Going swimming at our hotel

This is the Mexican/Seafood place we ate at on the Pier.

Rob in the beautiful sunset.

I felt to sick to even do my hair so don't mind the picture! We didn't take very many :(

CUTE CUTE CUTE Shelby. She LOVES to suck her fingers and gag herself! She is sucj a little doll!

The waverunners we got to take to the lake. (robbies boss is SO nice!) To bad my biggest fear EVER is fish so I didn't enjoy when robbie and i tipped over in the middle of the lake! I was FREAKING OUT!!! I ever swore at him because I was so scared!!

And last but not least. My bestie Heather and her little family moved to Puerto Rico :( I miss them and can't wait to go visit!

Busy..busy..busy!

I cannot believe how fast every day is going! IT'S JUNE! Life has been so great but so busy!

Robbie isn't going to school this summer so he is busy with work and has had friends down from Morgan visit us! We are trying to plan something fun to do this summer for our Anniversary! (can't believe its almost been a year!) Heather (my BFF!) and her hubbyJake are moving next month so her and her baby boy came down and spent the week with us.. I didn't get any pictures though which makes me sad! I am going to miss them so much! We had a blast and ate way more than we needed!!! But I do have lots of other pictures from all the craziness lately!! I still haven't figured out to to blog pictures in order so I'll apologize in advance since they bounce back and fourth!

We just spent the weekend down in Vegas with the family for Shelby's blessing! We had so much fun! We stayed with Ry and Kate and the babe! Did lots of shopping and playing around! I was sad to leave everyone but I do love coming back home!

She is perfect!! Such a good baby!!

Happy Birthday Grams!

Is she not the cutest baby!!!?! I adore her! She has huge blue eyes and smiles so big!

Aww.. my Pa! Such and AMAZING father and person! Love you Bishop!

If any of you know my brothers you know that this pictures isn't weird!! For those who don't know them... don't judge them!! They are crazy! This pose is a running joke in our family! Its how the lady made my brother pose for his senior pictures!!!

This is a mod-podge magnit board that I made for Kim and Gary's wedding! They are so fun and easy to make!

Little angel face on her blessing day!!! Their ward had 4 babies blessed that day! CRAZY! But she was by far the cutest!! (does that sound bias?!!)

At Gary and Kim's reception in Logandale where after we went to the Eureka to eat crab in Mesquite with Megs!! YUM!

One saturday we loaded up the fourwheeler and went to HoneyComb Res. in Enterprise but on the way Rob showed me the Mountain Meadow Massacre.

My good friend Camie opened a Salon in Hurricane and I helped out on her Grand Opening! She's going to do so great!

And this one is super old but I had to blog about Brush Fire. Kate and Meg took me there for my birthday! IT IS A BLAST!!!!!!!!!! Check out our artwork! Pretty good right!!

Like I said.. life has been crazy! But Its so great! I feel so blessed! I have great friends and a great family! The Lord has spoiled me!

It's a girl!

SHELBY BROOKE NELSON

She is so perfect! She already loves to suck her thumb!

My 22nd BiRtHdAy weekend!

My birthday was on Friday and my family came up and stayed with us! It was SO much fun! Courtney came up Thursday night and her and I went out with Megan and had a blast! Who knew you could play boxers or briefs with only 3 people! It was great!! This pictures are all out of order though! Anyway! Then Friday night my parents and little brother came up and we went out to BENJA'S (i LOVE it!) Court and I tried sushi and believe it or not we liked it... well only the fried ones! There was 10 of us at dinner and the owner came up and spoke with us and told us about thailand and the Elephants! Did you know that they really CAN play soccer and paint!!

On Saturday we just bummed around and watched conference... well some of us watched! While most napped.. (i know thats horrible but its the truth) Although there were some great talks and there is ALWAYS much to be learned!!

Im so glad my family got to come up! I had a blast! Heres pictures from the weekend!

......at benja's...

...Mom and Dad!...

...check out that cute purse Robbie got me!!...

...i heart him...

...Court looks SO much taller than Megan and I...

...Waiting to eat!! Its worth the wait I promise!...

...Of coarse we had to go shopping and spend more than we have!...

...to bad Ryan wasn't there to complete this picture...

...At Pizza Factory, YES we did eat out WAY to much! I gained 10 pounds!...

...sister lovin'...

...and one more!...

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes! It really was such a great day! And it made it nice to know Robbie DOES listen when I go off about things I want! I was so excited about that purse! Polkadotlane.com Go check it out!!

Just a few things...

Well.. as much as I loved my grandma couches I couldn't pass up this great deal on these couches which I've wanted for a long time! I don't think I have ever been so happy about a piece of furniture! I'm so lame! We are planning on staying in St. george for a bit longer so I wanted to make our apartment more of a home! I've decided our living room will be dark brown, teal and a deep red! It looks good together I think! (please ignor the mess around the couches!! oops!)Cafe' Microfiber: 2 couches for $500, to me that was a good deal! Affordable furniture behind Cafe Rio is awesome! Everyone should check it out! They have such neat things for great prices! Its all Ashley Home Furniture items..
This is the shelve I got from Target (of coarse!!) the clock came from Heather for my birthday and I made the flower set up for about $8 dollars!

I've been WAITING so long to hang this clock!! I got with at the Dickens Festival! Its darling. The clock actually sets in that box pretty deep and its pretty big! Im such a fan of clocks!

And this I made just with that Mod Podge (however you spell that!) I LOVED making it! They are so simple and fun! And these letters hang just about the tv! Thanks Heather for showing me this great idea!

I seriously LOVE to decorate! I want to paint so bad but since we're in an apartment that isn't an option! I'm wanting to add more into our room next! I've got some really cute paintings that I need to hang and of coarse more Mod Podging! Then I'll work on the spare bedroom, which im thinking about getting rid of the bed in there and making it a craft room! I'M ADDICTED!

Also I wanted to post about a few of the most amazing people I know! Most of you know I work part time for TURN. I have been there for a year and I love it! These people have touched and changed my life! I see life from a new perspective.

We went to the park last weekend and enjoyed the wonderful weather!

Brad and Adam.. best buds!! They like to argue about who is the bigger sports fan! They are both so funny!

And this is our group!! We had so much fun!

Our new baby!

Well.. I can't believe this actually happened but Robbie and I went to LOOK at some trucks yesterday (we've been considering getting a four door so that ONE DAY we could fit carseats in it) anyway.. of coarse it couldn't end at just looking. looking turned into test driving, and that turned into a huge smile on Robbies face which then lead to a sit down in the salesmans office which then lead to this.....................

... a new truck in our parking space! I've decided to name her Francis the Ford.. Simple because Francis sounds like a pretty, needy, pain in my rear end! And that what this payment will become! We really do love the truck and got such a SMOKIN' deal and to be honest the payment isn't that bad.. but im only 3 months away from having my car paid off and it would have been so nice to not have a car payment.. BUT we made our first stupid financial decision.. and there she is!

Hot Pads and one great deal!

Ok so I really hope im not the only one who is having such a great week! Since the time change my work day is just flying.. yes I do feel like its 3 am when im getting up at 6:30 but other than that I love how light it is at 7 pm! Anyway I just really hope that everyone is doing well! I think the more I talk to others and the more I watch the news, the more I am so happy and grateful for my life and for my husband and for all of our blessings. I wish I could explain how much we've been blessed! And not that I wasn't happy before don't get me wrong! But lately i've just been so chipper!

Now onto the real reason for this post!

HOTPADS!

About once a week Heather and I have a play date! We have tried cooking new things, chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels, we've made a blanket, we've been to chick flicks and Thai food! Which for those of you who haven't heard of BENJA'S... you HAVE to go there! Its amazing! Trust me! Anyway.. yesterday we made hotpads! They were so much fun and simple to make!This was the before picture! We only really needed about a 1/4 a yrd of each!
These are the colors I picked for my kitchen since it is black and red!

And a little while later.... wala! Hot pads! Aren't they so cute! I gave some to my mother in law but I can't wait to make more! Heather has made some for each holiday so hers are adorable!
Then you can just stick your hand in them and they have padding so it won't be hot!

I just thought they turned out so dang cute! Not to mention we figured each hotpad only cost about $0.50 to make! I have LOTS of left over material!!

I love getting together with Heather! We had such a fun day yesterday! It went way to fast but Im so glad I got to see her! She is moving soon and although I am SO happy for them.. im throwing a pity party for myself!

Oh and my great deal! I LOVE Krumpets! I went in the other day just to "look".. ya right! I got these beauties for $10.00!!! Normally $40.00.. GREAT DEAL! They are so cute and are going to look great with our new COUCHES!! I can't wait to get them! They should be here on Thursday! YAY... no more floral.. no offense grandma!

Catchin' up!

Everyday I realize just how lucky I really am! Nothing to exciting is really going on with us but life is just wonderful! Robbie and I are so happy with where we are in life, the jobs we have and how blessed we really are!! I can't believe we are already into March! Christmas seemed like last week! Today is my brother Ryans birthday!! Old fart! And his little girl will probably be my next post! Shelby Brooke Nelson is due the first part of April right around her soon to be favorite aunts birthday! Im happy and excited for them!

This picture was taken at Jacob Askeroths reception! He and his wife are so adorable together!! I'm so happy for them both! And I can't believe that Robbie and I have already been married over 7 months! Seriously married life rocks! We have so much fun together!!

Ok and I know Carson isn't really my nephew but I love him just the same! He is 6 months old now and the cutest baby ever!! Thats him with "uncle" Robbies hat on! They are good buddies! and Robbie is SO DANG CUTE with him! I love watching them! Robbie is going to be such a great dad! Even though he was on only child and has zero experience with being around babies I just know he will be the BEST!!! I am so so lucky to have him! I know we all say this, but my husband is the BEST!

And last night not least! My monthly craft night! I went to Michaels just to look around and came up with a few things.... and after maybe an hour it turned into this.....

This was SO fun and easy to make! Its in a shadow box so it looks better than the picture can show!

.................................

Anyway.. not anything special going on just doing better than ever and loving our life! We hope everyone is doing great! We hope you all have your jobs and your family to count on!!
Love you all!
