Sooooo

I just downloaded blogger to my phone. Maybe this will help me blog more often. Right now we are busy getting ready for baby! 5 weeks or less. We are so excited! Especially JT... he constantly says he can't wait for Emersen to get here. Here is the latest belly pic. He doesn't have much room left. ;)

2013 Resolutions

So... I totally failed at blogging last year. I guess the only thing I can say for myself is last year was crazy! Another failed adoption, Jon's little brother passed away, and we decided to do invitro. So I am going to get caught up a little at a time and try to blog about everything exciting that happened last year. The most exciting thing will be arriving sometime around May 10th! 

Emersen Kyle Hutchings

This little guy is totally stoked to be a big brother! 

One of my resolutions this year is to be better about this blog.

 I know I will be glad I did when I look back!

Wow!

Where in the world has time gone?!?!?!? I have no much to catch up on, but this Easter weekend has been so much fun and so exhausting. For now I am going to bed and will update in the next few days with TONS of pictures! :0)

Little sneak peek!

So it seems like that last month flew by and I haven't had time to sit down and post about our amazing Christmas. We were able to spend Christmas with Jon's whole family minus Ben who is serving his mission in England.

We spent Christmas Eve at Temple Square with a million other people. It was freezing, but totally worth it. What an amazing place at Christmas time. The temple was gorgeous surrounded by all the lights!

I LOVE THE TEMPLE!!!!!

Bundled up and ready for the cold.

My cute family!!! JT was on Daddy's shoulders most of the time. There were too many people to let him run free.Jon, JT, & Kyle. After Temple square the older cousins taught the
younger ones about the symbols of Christmas.Modeling his cute Jammies. My baby is growing up! Jon's family has a tradition of hiding and watching Santa come early Christmas morning... Like 5:00!!!
It was way too early, but the excitement on JT's face was totally worth it!!!

JT was of course spoiled again. I guess that is what comes from being the only child. A few of his favorite presents.

BYU football helmet!
Demolition derby cars. This kid is obsessed since we took him
to the Demolition Derby at the fair last year!
You can't tell by his face how much he loves them can you?I totally surprised Jon with a PS3! He had no idea.
I really got it for the blueray player! ;)Momma got spoiled this year and I am totally enjoying learning
more about my amazing present! Woot for a nice camera!

Epic Failure!!!

If you haven't already noticed I totally fell off the THANKFUL wagon! Not on purpose... it just got a little bit busy with Thanksgiving and family and Black Friday and whatever else you can think of. It wasn't because I am not thankful! ;)

I am truly blessed with everything that I have in my life.
The last 12 years haven't been easy, but I have grown and learned so much.
I wouldn't take my trials back for a second.
We have some exciting stuff coming up in our family.
I can't talk about it yet, but just pray that everything works for us.

Until next post... Happy Holidays!!!!!

Sleep

Day #20

SLEEP!!!!!!!!!

There really is nothing to say about this other than

I love my SLEEP!!!!!

I used to be a night owl and I can stay up with the best of them,
but recently I have been getting tired as early as 10!!

Maybe it is getting older.
Maybe it is chasing a crazy 4 year old after working all day.
Who knows, but I have come to really appreciate a good night's sleep!

I also enjoy laying down with little man on the weekends
and taking marvelous naps!
Don't judge... you are probably just jealous! ;o)

Grandma Latham

Day #19

I am so grateful for my Grandma Latham!
She loves puzzles, card games, and of course her Coke.
She can recite the alphabet backwards too!
Doesn't she look amazing for 98?!?!?

My dad was adopted at the age of 5 with his 3 sisters and brother.
Grandma Latham is his biological grandma.

We never treated her like that though.
I always knew my dad was adopted, but I never put 2 & 2 together until I got older.
We would visit her and grandpa every summer and have a blast.

I feel horrible saying this, but Jon and I saw her right before we got married and after that we haven't had the chance to visit her.
Luckily this weekend we were able to go with my parents to see her.
She is the same wonderful person that I remember.
She is fully of spunk and so sassy.
I feel so blessed that she was able to stay apart of our lives after my dad was adopted.
