Shayna Nicole


Aubrey was able to get a 4D ultrasound today and here's a picture of what Shayna looks like at almost 8 months. In all the ultrasound pictures it looks like she's smiling in them. Aubrey said her and Brad were cracking up when they were doing the video because it looked like she was laughing and havin' a good ole time in there! Aubrey thinks she looks a lot like me when I was a baby. It's so amazing what technology can do these days! We love you Shayna!

Rush


This is a neat photo of my dad's Gyr falcon Rush. She's still in training, but she sure is a beautiful bird.



Here's a message from my Dad about the Sky Trials him and my little brother just attended. This is a big event for falconers and it's one that my Dad attends to every year-
"Garrett’s bird (My bird Officially) Verdugo, Hybrid Gyr/Prairie Falcon, took 4th Place at this year’s Utah Sky Trials. He flew good, just got out flown by three other fine falcons. Pictures here are of Garrett casting off Verdugo in the event and then one of me and Daryl Peterson with our Peregrines. Mine is a female and she WON the event last year. Daryl’s is her brother and MATE (kind of an incestuous relationship!) and he brought him to the event and entered him in it too. Garrett snapped this shot of us together. Both of them fly way better on a daily basis than they did for the event, but it was kind of a neat story to tell everyone down there, about how they make babies together after the hawking season. Garrett and I got interviewed by “At Your Liesure”, Reese Stein was the reporter. We’ll probably be on their program in three weeks. Reese has interviewed Garrett before and put him on KUTV a couple of years ago. Watch for it on KUTV Channel 4 on Saturday night or Sunday morning in three weekends from now."

My dad has been involved in falconery for over 12 years now and Garrett has been taggin' along with him since he was just a little guy. This sport is pretty amazing. It's pretty neat to be able to watch these birds go thousands of feet up in the air, then dive down for the kill (you can actually hear them as they're going for the kill since their speed is so incredible).

My favorite little niece



Here's my cute little niece Shayna. This is an older ultrasound, so she's grown a bit since then, but I just think she is so freaken cute already! This a picture of her cute little profile. Aubrey will be getting another ultrasound this coming Tuesday, so I'll be posting those pictures as soon as I get them. I can't tell you how excited I am to be an aunt of this little girl. I just cannot wait for her to get here!!

Me and my boy,


Below are some photos from our wedding day. We've been married now for about 9 months and we're still going strong! I know it's not that long, but you gotta realize that we've been dating for over 6 years now! Our wedding was a beautiful day and it was so nice to be able to see family and friends I haven't seen for quite some time. My sister Aubrey was the best and practically did everything for me. I don't know what I would have done with out her. I would have been a mess if she wasn't there to help me. Thank you Aubs, I love you!!

D and Cade



Davis just loves Cade. I thought this photo was really cute.

Strangulation



I thought this picture was pretty hilarious (that's my dad, of course). I guess now we know your true feelings dad! Maybe that's why Cade treats me so good! No, my dad loves Cade and Cade just thinks my dad is great. I love you Dad!

Friends



Here are some photos of our friends that attended our wedding. Nicole's friends (listing left to right) BreeAnna, Cameron, Me, Hailee & Jamie. Cade's friends (left to right) Will, Kenny, Dusty, Dillon and my Cade is in the front.

Family




Here are both of my familys. I feel so lucky to have such great inlaws and such a great family. Top picture listing left to right: Brad (my brother-in-law) Garrett, Aubrey, My mom, Me, Cade, My Natalie Mom, Davis, My Dad, and Katie Jo. Bottom picture top row then bottom row listing left to right: Jed, Vanessa, Jessica (my sister-in-law, Matt's wife) Matt, Levi, Kent, Me, Cade, Randi and Breanna.

Katie Jo

Here's my cute little sister Katie Jo. She's wearing the same dress that I wore when my Dad and my Natalie mom got married, crazy huh? She's my little girly girl. She was so excited about my wedding, and when she saw my dress for the first time she said, "I'm gonna pass out because it's so beautiful!" Next thing I new she was on the floor. She didn't really pass out, but she got her little point a cross!

D Boy

Me and little D (Davis). This is my other sweet little brother. Just lookin' at that face, I'm sure you can tell he gets away with a lot :) He's such a cutie.

Buzz

Me and my little brother Garrett aka Buzz. He's the coolest, smartest kid you will ever meet. I feel so lucky to have him as my little brother.

Our lives in a nutshell.


So I finally started my blog! I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I get too busy with life and never remember to do it! Me and my highschool sweetheart Cade are living here in Layton Ut and life is great. Cade is busy working for Emerson Instrument and Valve where he is employed as a Field Service Technician and I'm keeping busy working for my dad as a Credit Specialist for Crossroads Mortgage. I get to work from home, so I feel very grateful for this job. I also love it because I get to travel with Cade whenever he has to leave since I can just bring my little laptop with me and continue working. We don't have any kids yet, as I'm sure all of you know, but we do have a little persian cat that we just love. I know I sound like a crazy cat person, but she really is the coolest cat. Her name is George (don't ask me why is become George, it just did). My mother-in-law jokes that we aren't going to have kids because we love the dang cat so much! I've had her since she was just a baby, so we've been through the tough times together! Anyway, enough about her, I'm sounding more crazy the more I talk about her. The best news I have along with the most exciting news is that my sister is having a little baby girl in April! She's due April 6th, but we think (hope) she's going to have her earlier. Her name will be Shayna Nicole and she is just gonna love her aunt Nicole because I'm gonna spoil her to death! I'm sooo excited to be an aunt, I just can't wait for her to be born. Aubrey can't wait either, not just because she excited to see her little girl, but she's getting a little tired of being pregnant as most women are around the 7th to 8th month. She's loved the whole experience, but it's getting to the point where she can't sleep and little Shayna likes to creep up in her ribs so she can't breathe. Aubrey's worried she might need to get a c-section because Shayna hasn't turned yet, and she was suppose to have turned a while ago (She's laying horizontal). I hope everything turns out ok. Well, this is a super long blog and I could probably go on forever, but I'll save the rest for another day and I'll be adding pictures soon!
