Anniston's #1st Birthday

Well, It has been a super long time sense I have got on here! Anniston's Birthday was February 1st but, we ended up celebrating it on the 5th. Her party was a "Ladybug" theme it turned out super cute. My friend made the cutest cake's for her birthday! We celebrated with friend's and family and had lot's of yummy food! We didn't know what Anniston would think when we put her very own cake in front of her but, she dug right in!! She was thinking that was pretty cool!! She didn't know what to think about all the decorations,balloons & people :) but, when she gets older she can look back at the picture's and see what a fun #1 birthday she had!!!
    It is crazy to think Anniston is already one. When she was a newborn everyone kept saying how quickly they grow but, it never really hit me until she did start growing up so fast :( . We love her to piece's and we are so thankful to have her in our life!

The Trouble Tree

The carpenter I hired to help me restore my old my old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him loose an hour of work , his electric saw quit and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While I drove home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching  the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned faced was
wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterword he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.


"Oh" that's my trouble tree," he replied, "I know I can' help having troubles on the job.
but one thing for sure trouble's don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home. then in the morning I pick them up again.
Funny thing is,"he smiled", when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

Growing up to fast!!

We cannot believe how much our little baby girl has grown! It is so crazy to think that not before long she will be walking and getting into everything! It is crazy how time fly's . I don't even want to think about her dating haha and well I know whoever does come over that Jake will be quizing  them and want to know everything and maybe even be on our porch greeting her date with a shotgun! Hahaha! It feels like not very long ago we were bringing her home from the hospital and she fit so perfectly in our arm's .Everyday she seem's to be doing more and more on her own.. I was looking at her newborn pics the other day and started tearing up she is growing up to fast!!!

It's been tooo long!

Wow! I haven't been on here forever! Life has been a little crazy and hectic! Where should I start off? Halloween!?! OK .. usually for  Halloween Jake and I stay home and answer the door but, this year we had a little one to celebrate it with!! I was so excited to get her costume! I ordered a ladybug costume for Anniston but, it never came and so about a week before Halloween it still had not arrived so we had to find another one. I decided she should be a baby lamb! She looked so cute! We took her to Jake's parents and his grandparent's and a few other's who live in Wallsburg (where Jake is from) Then we headed to my grandparent's and they were surprised to see us. After we went there we went to Grandma and Grandpa Hatfield's! Anniston was such a great sport and didn't try to pull her hat off!We just can't wait for Christmas !!!

                                                         Trick Or Treat!

Anniston's Blessing

Anniston was baptised July 9th 2010. We had the baptism at my parent's house . Jake and I thought that it would be easier and less stressful that way . It turned out great!! My dad blessed Anniston and did such an amazing job ! Our bishop and my Grandpa Lowe stood in the circle also . It was such a great day and went so well. We served some yummy food and my Mother in-law made some awesome chicken salad croissant's that everyone loved!! These picture's I have on here are not the greatest . I forgot my camera because I was in a hurry to get to my parent's and set up all the food etc. Luckily my Mother and Sister in law had their camera's . So when I get those picture's I will have to post them also!

Anniston wore my blessing dress that my mom made for me when I got blessed!

Been quite a while...

I haven't updated my blog for quite some time and decided perhaps I should! Anniston turned 26weeks yesterday Monday 2 , 2010 . It is crazy how time flys by in 6 months she will be one . How insane time goes by waaaayyy to fast! She is such a good baby and alway's sleep's thru the night and has her schedule down. She is amazing!
     I was supposed to start nail school Aug 3rd haha today but, I had to postpone school for a few month's because I have not been feeling very well. I am now starting to feel so much better thank goodness. I was getting worried there for a minute! I can't wait to start and be done and start doing nail's in my home. So I am sorry to my friend's who were expecting me to be able to do their nail's soon! It wont be to much longer.
     Summer has been great we haven't gotten to do to much recently because of me being sick but I am hoping now we can catch up and get a few fun activities in before the weather get's cold. I am hoping to get in at least one camping trip !!! Hopefully ride my horse's sense I didn't get to last summer cause I was pregnant . I also didn't get to do any fourwheeling and I am going crazy cause that is one of Jake and I's favorite thing's to do!! Well that about sums thing's up!! Here is some recent pics!!
