2010-06-21T23:00:00.000-07:00

So once again I have failed to keep up on my blog like a slacker but Bryce and I celebrated our one year annversary on May 23rd. We went and spent the weekend at a resort in Zions thaTt was beautiful! Bryce and I were aso sealed for time and all eternity to our beautiful baby girl on May 29th! It was the best day of our life. Summer looked jus like an angel!!!

We took Summer on her first fishing trip to kolob reservoir a couple weeks ago and it snowed on us so Bryce had to build us a fire to keep the baby warm. Shepp on the other hand loved it! I didnt get to catch any fish :( but the boys did.

Summer turned 5 months old yesterday and is becoming such little girl now... She can sit up a little by herself and she is really developing her little personality and its so cute but man she has a temper lol I think she gets that from her dad :)

Summers first trip to Vegas.

Happy Easter!!!

Summers blessing left and Maddies Blessing Down.

I cant believe my little Nummers is already 11 weeks old. I have failed miserably in keeping up with my blog. She has already been blessed, had her 2 month check up and its already time for me to go back to work. She turned eleven weeks old on Wednesday and is just cuter than ever. She got blessed March 21 in our ward and Bryce gave her a wonderful blessing. Granny was able to be out here for it and Brooke and Ethan came down.

At her 2 month check up she got her 2 month old shots which were worse for me than they were for her and she weighed 12 lbs 5 oz. (83%) and she was 24 in. long (96%) she is a big girl. She has the cutest cheeks ever. I'm suprised they arent rubbed raw from me kissing them so much.

I have 3 more weeks of my 2nd semester of school and I will be half way there. I started clinicals this semester and it has officially shown me that I have chosen the right field for me. I love it!

I cant believe how fast time flies. This is going to be the hardest year of our lives and so far we are making it just fine. We are having our first baby, we both are graduating, I'm going down to PRN at work, I go to school through the Summer, and I had to leave Summer when she was a week and half old to start school. There is just a lot going on. But Bryce graduates in 3 weeks which is a big help!!! yay!!! I'm ready for him to be done so that he doesnt have to do night classes anymore and can come home from work lol.

Just goofing off with the camera with my Aunt Stormy!!!

She has finally arrived! January 20th at 1:56 am Summer Alyse Bladen was born at 9 lbs. 8 ounces and 21 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful! She has the chubbiest cheeks and the cutest double chin and rolls that go on for days.

Bryce and I love being new parents. Although it comes with many sleepless nights and a lot of diaper changes she is worth every bit of it! She is out pride and joy! I think she looks just like Bryce when he was a baby and he thinks she looks like me. So I guess we have to wait until she is older! :)

Catching up!

So a quick little catch up to me and Bryce.... I am now almost 30 weeks a long and Summer is growing fast and BIG lol atleast the doctor thinks she is gonna be a big girl. We got a 3D ultrasound and she was able to make her first debut or atleast kind of. We got to see what she might look like. I think she is going to have Bryces nose and my cheeks. Also we had a doctors appointment last monday and we now are starting our bimonthly visits! I cant believe we are already to that! Time is flying and before we know it our little girl will be here! We put her stroller and carseat together and put the bedding on her crib. Its starting to come together and it is making me more excited for her to get here!

I am almost done with my first semester in the Respiratory Therapy program and I only will have 3 semesters to go and I will finally be done with school! Even though its going to be tough with a newborn it will be worth it in the end. Bryce is going to be starting his last semester in the business program and he will graduate in May! I'm so jealous but I'm very proud of him.

Last weekend Bryce and I made our last trip up north to see my sister and her husband for a while. No more long distances for me. We had a great weekend! I got to go to one of my really good friends reception and I got to see my sister! We love Logan. Its so pretty during the fall up there!

These are her little feet and toes!

This is her profile view! Look at her cute nose :)

Bryce and I finally were able to find out what we are having and like most of you already know its a GIRL!!! I'm so excited. She wouldnt cooperate very well when we first started the ultrasound, so they had to shake and push my belly to get her to uncross her ankles. I think me telling her this is the only time I will give her permission to uncross her legs before she is married helped the most :) But I did tell the ultrasound tech that she couldnt very well be my child unless she was a little stinker lol!

School also started on Aug. 24th. I started classes in the Respiratory Therapy program and Bryce is starting his last year in college. Hallelujah! We have officially come to terms with the fact that we probably wont see much of each other for the next year which sucks but its for the best.

I will be 20 weeks on Monday! HALF WAY THERE! I cant believe it. Time has flown by so fast and before we know it she will be here! I cant wait. It seems so far away though. I keep counting down holidays and big events coming up so it makes it seem faster than counting down the days now lol. I started feeling her move about last week and this week I really feel her but I think its just cause I got use to what she feels like. Its the most amazing feeling in the world! I think Bryce gets a little jealous sometimes cause he doesnt get to feel her, but I think in the next couple of weeks he should be able to. Bryce and I went to the SUU vs. Dixie game on Thursday and every time the cannons went off and people started cheering I could feel her move like crazy. It was fun cause it kind of tickled!

My sister finally found out what she is having to but I will have to wait til she post it on her blog to make the announcement on mine :) But I'm so happy for her and I cant wait to find out the name when they have one picked out.

These are some pictures from my birthday weekend in Salt Lake. My sister came down from Logan and met us there along with my mom, my Aunt Darlene and My Uncle Gary. We went to the Garden House Restaurant on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House.

this one the baby has its leg stretched out on the left side

these next two are from 12 1/2 weeks ( this one the baby is sucking its thumb) sorry they are so blurry

this is the baby at 9 1/2 weeks

this is the baby at i think 7 1/2 weeks. (our little gummy bear) :)

This month has been a busy month for us. We went to Logan to visit my sister, it was my 22nd birthday, Bryce got me tickets to the Lady Antebellum and Due West concert ( which I have been wanting to go to forever and it was a really good concert), we went to Salt Lake, my Aunt and Uncle came out to visit for 2 weeks, and we scheduled our appointment to find out what we are having! :) We are so excited!

And yes it is true me and my sister are pregnant together and have the same due date! Crazy huh! It was by shear coincidence that it happened that way. We are now 14 1/2 weeks and starting to get the beginning of our "baby bumps." On the 26th of August is when we get to find out what we are having. I think Brooke will find out the first of September.

Well we finally are married and its been about 3 weeks! I cant believe it! Time is flying by so fast! We went on our honeymoon to Puerto Vallarta Mexico where we stayed 5days and 4 nights at Fiesta Americano Resort. It was so pretty! When we first got to Mexico there was like no one there but then as they days went on more and more people started to show, so we didnt have the beach and the pool to ourselves anymore :( It was hard getting back to reality, being able to see each other all day everyday to not being able to anymore cause he works and goes to school during the day and I work nights! But we are surviving.
As Most of you already know Bryce and I found out we are going to be parents! lol Thats right we have a little one on the way. My due date is January 25th! Crazy huh!?!? It happened a little sooner than we were expecting but we couldnt be happier! We went to the doctor on Friday and had our first Ultra Sound and we got to see the heart beat and hear it!!! It was beating so fast. I think he said it was beating 152 bpm. It measured about half of an inch and I will be 8 weeks on Monday! Our doctor called it our little gummy bear so thats our nickname for it for now lol :) We have another appointment on the 25th of this month.... It made everything feel so real when we got to see it and hear it! Its amazing!!

On Saturday the 25th we took bridals and i'm so excited to see them because I think they are gonna turn out really good. Brooke came down so she could be here for them and took some with her camera (these are the pictures you see). Only 22 days left I cant believe it! I'm more than ready for it to be here :)

We were told today that we are suppose to close on our house on monday at 4!! So all fingers and toes crossed that we can!

We got engaged on April 11th and we took engagements on the 12th. Our announcements are at the printers as we speak and should be ready by friday!
