Don't ask about the changed background... don't worry, It still has purple! ;)

As you can see I changed my blog background! Do you like it? I think I do! Just don't ask how I like black though... I'm not much of a black person... But it's black! :D Very cute though I think! It still has purple on there and colors that I think go well with it! Random, and very different! :D


Well, this past weekend my sister Abbie turned 4 years old! Holy Cow! Has it really been 4 years already? I can't even believe it! I feel so old! :( I still remember her being a cute little baby! :D




This was taken when Abbie was a week old(Halloween of '05). I remember our house being so busy with Trick or treaters that year(My family lives on a dead end and not a whole lot of people come to our house... they ignore us for some odd reason for trick or Treating... ;P), just because moms wanted to see our New addition to our all of a sudden big family! :D It was pretty fun! we just had to keep Abbie away from the door so she wouldn't catch anything! But yeah! My mom had an idea of having a "3 sister Picture" And Kendra also wanted to hold onto Abbie, so I guess that is where Mom got the Idea because Kendra chose me to help her hold Abbie! :D I still remember that day as if it were yesterday! It was so cute! :D hehehe! :D



This is Abbie when she was 1 year! Isn't she so cute?! I Love her so! She's always so full of Smiles along with Kendra Sue! :D



Abbie was a little over 8 weeks old when this picture was taken and haven't updated yet! But hopefully soon! I was the one that needed to hold onto Abbie because Collin wasn't quite comfortable yet to do so, and Frankly it was interesting situation... for some odd reason I was struggling to hold onto Abbie to make sure she was comfortable as well as myself, and I just couldn't figure it out so we got some weird smiles and looks from Collin and I and didn't end up getting a "good enough picture of us" But this one was one of the better ones! :D



Kendra and Abbie in this picture, Kendra is 4 1/2 years old, and Abbie just turned 3 so last year! My Grandma Loves to buy cute little Christmas Dresses for her Grandchildren! And it is so fun to see Kendra and Abbie get excited for new Dresses every single time they get a new dress! :D their Christmas dresses this past year have been one of my favorite dresses they've had! :D Why can't they make them 2 times bigger so that I can have a Christmas Dress(especially like Abbie's Dress, and also Kendra's! :D)to wear! :D




My favorite 3 year old Picture of Abbie! :D I Love how that cute little dress is laid out on the platform, and I Love that cute little 3 year old Abbie Smile! It is so cute!! :D I Love her so! And yes!! If you haven't noticed, I will talk about my sisters a lot! They are pretty much my life right now! They pretty much make my day when ever I see them or even talk to them on the phone! They always sound so Happy! And I Love it! :D

With it being Halloween this weekend! :D I'll probably will be seeing them! And hopefully I can get some good pictures of my cute little sisters! I'll tell you of my Halloween adventures after this weekend! :D And also I forgot to mention... this weekend is Stake Conference... so that will be interesting... I hardly know my Stake so It will be an interesting but fun experience! I hope there will be great talks! (Like I know can be at Stake conferences... :D) I'm just excited to see my little Kitty Kendra! And my Little Witch Abbie! :D

A Long time... My friend had her baby!!! :D

It's been a long time since I posted! :P Mainly because I don't have "internet" at my apartment... My roomate and I have been in a sense been using a network that is unsecure, but it is something till we can figure out something for us both to afford or we may not get it at all... who knows... I haven't had much of a chance to talk to her because one of her Guy friends is over like every single day and he practically lives at my apartment! It is crazy and almost annoying! But I'm just leaving it up to her to kick him out... because it's in a sense her problem. Because I know she doesn't have interest in him(particularily when it comes to a relationship and especially an eternal Companion). What have I been doing till I figured out how to get into the unsecure wireless network at my apartment? either my parents house... or I go to UVU and go online there for a couple hours or so... pretty much till I am ready to go back to my apartment. But any how, I don't have a car so I can't really just go anywhere I please very easily. I rely on the Public Transportation like crazy, and sometimes it is nice and relieving when I have the motivation to go out and do what ever I want during the day, and not really have to worry about who to tell where I'm going... sometimes it is just more time on my own, because Steph's(my roomate) guy friend is over all the time! And it tends to get a little awkward that when he's over, and I am home, Steph is usually at work or school. Steph is hardly around! :P But yeah.



This is Olivia Kate Jackson my friend Stefanie Grawe's Daughter!!! Isn't she so cute?!!! She was born September 23, 2009. She was 7 lb. 1 oz. and 20 inches long, and born with a head full of hair!!! Holy cow! I Love her hair! I saw her the day after she was born and wow! I didn't want to leave because the feeling in the hospital room was so peacefull! It was so amazing! I met the adoptive parents Valery and Dustinn Jackson and their son Bradshaw(2 years old and one of the cutest little boys I've every seen! :D). When I went to the hospital, I was a little nervous, I can admit because I wasn't sure what Stef's emotions were, I don't know why, but I knew she was having a hard time and was confused and I didn't know when she wanted to have "alone time" with her Daughter before she signed the placement papers(of which happened the day after I saw Olivia, so I was happy and felt humbled that I got to meet Olivia). I met Stef's Case worker Loni, of which is an amazing Lady in of it self, she came in Crutches! Ahh! at the time she had about 3 weeks or so left in the crutches so hopefully she wouldn't have to hobble around in those for too long! And I can relate from when I broke my foot, I had to use crutches for 4 weeks where Loni had to use them for 8. Anyways back in the subject here! Any how, Loni asked if she could talk with Nic and Stefanie alone(Nic is the Biological Dad of Olivia), and Val, Bradshaw, Stefanie's younger sister and I went down to the gift shop! Where I got to get to know Valery a little better and of course cute little Bradshaw! :D When we went back up stairs, Loni was out side talking with Dustinn and Sister Grawe(Stefanie's Mom). And they were talking about post Adoption Group, and what Stefanie (and what other Birth Mom's experience emotionally after giving birth), Loni was talking about how confused Stef might feel and is feeling, but also knowing that Adoption is the right thing, it's just hard for her to deal with(you know what I mean?). And she was telling Sister Grawe to not let Stefanie be in the house for longer than 6 hours(having sleep being the exception) and have her start getting back into "Normal life" again. And giving advice to Val and Dustinn because they were a bit worried that they were being pushy, but Loni said that they were actually doing great because Stef wanted them there! And she loved having them there and what not. But, Loni also told them to listen to stef, because if she says leave her alone then leave her alone, but if she says "wait! Stay!" then stay. And some other things, I don't really remember... Any how, After she gave some helpful advice to Valery and Dustin, I asked "I'm a friend that can't relate to Stef at all, but I want to help support her, and Love her, cause, I know how hard it is for her, but I don't know 'exactly how she feels' I just want to be there for her. What can I do to help her know that she has someone to talk to, just to listen." Loni answered, "you are a very good friend to ask that, you are in Patient mode, because she is confused and trying to get back into a 'normal' schedule as well as finding out who Stefanie is. Just let her know that you are there for her, and that you Love her, and that you'll be there for her when she is ready to hang out with friends, and talk about it." And I'm glad that I heard that, because I don't want to push and say "Hey! you want to go hang out?" and have quote on quote hopes that she'll talk about it! Heck No! I don't want to expect that, I would want to have a great time, and if she feels a comfort to talk about Olivia all the time, and how cute and adorable she is! GREAT! But I will not push her! That is the last thing I want to do, I don't really want to ruin a friendship for being pushy! I care for Stefanie, and she is an amazing friend! I truly do Look up to her for making a decision that will benefit her Daughter's life as well as her's in ways that she can't imagine right now! The Song "Everything to me" by Mark Shultz Explains it all! I Love Stefanie for who she is! She is absolutly amazing, and I hope she realizes that even through her down times! :D
