White Trash Renegade

So this saturday my little brother Sye is fighting. It is like the UFC fights they have on TV. He is really excited. He has been training for a few months, it takes a lot to learn to be ok with getting hit in the face. They say the hardest part is learning how to control your breathing and not getting so mad. So yeah anyways, i am so excited for him, but i am also so nervous. He has a big support group here to watch him. My Grandma Rose (my dads mom), Uncle James (dads brother) and his two kids Kiley and Jordan came all the way from Colorado Springs to watch him. Also My brother J.D. missed a trip to Vegas with his in-laws to watch and support him. And Joscelyn, Paul, and they kids are here to watch too. We are all so excited for you Sye and know you will do your best. So when they fight they have like a theme song and a nick name and Sye's is "White Trash Renegade" love the name... His song is White Trash Renegade by Big B. It is a pump up song for sure. So of course we had to get some shirts with his nickname on them. And not only family members are going to be in these shirts some of his good friends ordered one too so there is going to be a big bunch of people wearing these shirts supporting him... So any one that can make it, come on down and go it is going to be fun. Saturday night at 7:00 pm in Ephraim at the Snow College Activity Center. GO SYE WE ALL LOVE YOU AND KNOW YOU WILL DO REALLY GOOD :)
And yeah i have some cute pictures of Atley on my computer that I need to load on my computer and then I will post them. She is doing really good and suprises me everyday with how much older she acts. She is so alert. We LOVE her to death. Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend.

Its been a while

Ok so i have not updated my blog forever sorry. Here is an up date. Atley is growing so dang fast. She smiles and goos all the time. She tries so hard to talk to you, but all that happens is her tongue going one hundred miles an hour. It is so dang cute. She is now just shy of 10 weeks old. It has went by so fast. We went to her two month appointment on the 13th and she is doing really good. She weighed 10 lbs 5 oz and 21 3/4 inches long. The dr said he can not believe how strong she is. Yes yes we had shots too. But luckly i have a wonderful husband that stood up by her so i did not have too. It was hard for me, but she was strong about it. She cried really hard but was just fine when we could pick her up. She has blessed our lives so much.
Let me tell you she is such a snuggle bug. She would love to cuddle with me all day long if i would let her.



She loves to hang out with her dad and relax :)



I kind of caught her smiling, not really i know but it is the best i have so far. I will keep trying cause everyone needs to see her cute little smile. So on the weekend of the 6th my sister and her kids came down. It was so good to see them I had not seen them since my baby shower. So yes this was the first they got to see little miss Atley. And of course Kenyon and Sawyer are growing so dang fast. They love bath time.

Kenyon is such a big boy and just wanted to wear Zack's farm shoes. So of course he did. It was so funny to see him try to walk in them. But he cried and cried when he had to take them off. For some reason Kenyon really likes Zack. He wants to do everything he does. He is such a cutie.

And then there is little miss Sawyer and she is a doll. She just smiles and laughs all the time. It was so funny she hated when Atley would cry so she would cry too. It was the cutest thing ever. She is a beautiful little girl. She has beautiful eyes you can not tell in this picture but they are. Thanks for coming down Joscelyn and spending time with us. It was a blast.
And for me and Zack not a whole lot has went on. The main thing is they finally called Zack back to work so that will be nice. Now we just have to decide what i am going to do. Atley wants nothing to do with a bottle or a pacifier. So we are kind of lost at what to do. We have been talking about it and just have not come to a final decision.

Three More Pictures...

This one looks like she kind of has a smile. I LOVE THIS ONE...

This is the outfit her dad wanted her to wear and i am so gald she did cause all the pictures of her in it look so so cute.

This picture is our all time favorite one. It was so cute she was falling her dad around the room and i told him to just stand still and he did. So she just stopped and looked at him. So this picture looks like she is just looking away from the camera, but since we know what she is looking at it makes it really special. SHE LOVES HER DAD. I know i have said that before, but their love just keeps growing bigger and bigger. She is our little sweet heart. I can not imagine what i did before she blessed our lives.

Atley's Pictures













So we went and got Atley's pictures done. I think they turned out really good. She was wide awake for them, but did not really want to smile for them. Of course that morning when we were getting ready she smiled and laughed more than she ever has. It was fun to see her smiling that much, but i knew she wouldn't have any more smiles for the pictures.

Atley's First Valentines Day


Atley with s ome of the stuff she got for Valentines Day..


Her little outfit. She looked so cute in it. It was just a simple shirt but she looked so cute in it.

Here is the Crazy bow i made for her. It turned out cute on her, but i still think it is a little crazy.

Well we did not do a whole lot for Valentines Day because i had a basketball game. We went to the games at two and did not get done until about eight thirty. By the time we were done with that Zack and I just wanted to go home. But it was a fun day. I just want everyone to know how wonderful my husband is. He takes care of Atley during all of my games. He is a GREAT DAD and HUSBAND... He travels to all the games with us so I can still see my little Girl...

Well the girls won on saturday so we had to flip with Manti to see what place we took. DANG IT... We lost the coin toss so we took sixth place. That puts us playing North Summit on Friday night at 6:30 pm for our state play in game. We have an awesome team and I know they can win. One of our starters got hurt on fridays night game so we are with out her. Which sucks.. But we have a lot of girls that can help us out. They stepped up on saturday so i am not worried. GOOD LUCK GIRLS!!!!

Some New Pictures

And of course we had to get a picture of her in her dress. Yesterday was her very first day at church. Dad grabbed the camera when i got her dressed. She looked beautiful. She was awesome at church. We went to three hours of our ward and then another hour and a half to another ward. She did not get mad until we were just walking out the door. We finally decided that we better go back to church and teach our little class or they would forget who we are. But most of them remembered us. They are such cute little kids. We Teach the 4 and 5 year olds. They say some funny stuff. And The extra 1.5 hours of church was because my friend came home off of her mission and it was her homecoming. It was great to see her. Welcome Home Mckell:)
Yep sure thing i got the very first kiss from Atley. No really she was hungry and was trying to eat my lips... I just like to think that i got the first kiss. haha

Here is a picture of Atley and me. This on super bowl sunday. If you can tell she has on her Bronco's outfit. Yeah i know the broncos were not in the super bowl but that is the only football clothing she has. She looked way cute in it too. We watched the super bowl out to my parents house cause zack was gone. My dad is a big bronco fan so he loved her outfit.


This is a picture of Atley going to her first Dr's appointment. All is well. She is growing good. She weighed 7 lbs and 8 ounces at her appointment, so she has gained a little. The Dr was pleased with it so no worries. She also was has grew one inch now she is 20 inches long:)
