Makell, David, Boston and Carson Rogers

Easter

2011-06-16T23:00:00.000-07:00

This is how our Easter started out. A morning of church for David and Boston.

Boston with his Easter basket. All he cared about was the eggs and candy.

Carson didn't care at all.

Easter egg hunt. Boston wasn't sure what to do at first but he got the hang of it.

Then that night we ended up in the ER with Carson. Long story short he had had a cough for a couple days (started when he was exactly 1 week old) and they thought it was just a virus but 3 days later it turned into much worse. Easter night he was breathing heavy and coughing a lot more. So after two calls to his amazing Dr we decided to go to primary children's where they found out he had RSV which was weird because they said it was the end of RSV. Anyways this is him in the short stay area in the hospital because they thought it was on the down slop of it. A day later he was put in the PICU for a day. After a day of what they call high flow oxygen, a feeding tube, an Iv and lots of monitoring he was released to the long stay recovery.
However he got a fever so they had to do a spinal tap (was not fun to watch) blood samples and a urine test. They ruled out other infections.

We were at the hospital for 5 days with something they thought would be gone in hopefully a day. Carson came home on a small amount of oxygen and I believe he was on it for about two weeks after we got home. He is now doing well but it was a long road for him and I worry about him often but I count my blessings it was just RSV and not something worse and he was able to fight it. What a strong little boy.

We had a moment when it was just the 4 of us and Boston just looked at Carson and smiled like he knew him but the second we had family come in to take pictures that moment left fast for Boston. However still a wonderful picture minus grandmas hand.

Bostons First Birthday

2011-03-22T15:41:00.000-07:00

Okay I know this is way late but on January 23rd Boston turned 1yrs old. It was such a fun day for him and us. He didn't really know what was going on but what ever it was it was fun. His Birthday was on a Sunday this year so we went to church like nornmal but after had Grandparents over for dinner and the rest of the family for cake and ice cream. As you can see he enjoyed opening gifts and he really enjoyed his cake. He couldn't wait to get his hands in it. (Im glad I did white icing.)
Thank you everyone for all the fun we had that day.

Santa Claus

2011-01-24T22:19:00.000-08:00

This was taken at our Ward Christmas party. He did pretty good with Santa Claus. He just stared at him. Maybe it was the beard. Anyways we came back a little later to get family pictures with Santa and we didn't get one he just cried and cried. He was past nap time and had had it. Poor Santa didn't know what to do.

Boston chasing the train

2011-01-24T22:12:00.000-08:00

David parents found this train at Christmas and I had to put it on here. Boston was so funny. He tried to catch it and every time he would get close the train would be gone. It kept him and us entertained for a while.

Christmas Day

2011-01-24T22:02:00.001-08:00

Christmas day was wonderful. Boston didn't wake up till 9am which was fine with us. He was so excited. I'm sure he had no idea what was going on but we tried to make him as excited as we could.

This is when we walked down to see the gifts. His face just lit up when he saw the gifts.

Boston loves to play with phones. So to attempt to save our real phones we gave him a play phone. He still plays with it but nothing beats mommy and daddy's phones.

He loves this little table of all sorts of fun things on it but I think his favorite is the music.

Grandma Allyson came over with lots of gifts. Boston loved them all. Thanks grandma!

Grandma and grandpa Rogers also came over with gifts. Boston was grateful for them also.

Thanks grandma for all the fun stuff.

Christmas Eve

2011-01-24T21:48:00.001-08:00

We celebrated our Christmas Eve with my mom, my sister Kendra and her kids, my brother Trevor and his wife and daughter. We had a blast. The kids acted out the nativity and we had a birthday cake for Jesus. After that the kids get to open one gift and like most traditions we gave Boston pajamas. This was his first time opening a gift ever. He did pretty good.

So excited about his pajamas.

This is Kendra opening a gift from the the siblings. She was overwhelmed because she didn't think we where going to do gifts this year. Boy was she surprised. I hope she enjoyed the gift card.

This is my mom opening her gift. Most of the kids got together and got her jazz tickets. If you don't know my mom she lives for the jazz. She was so excited. Everyone is huddled by her because she was opening them in front of the computer so my sisters in St. George could watch her open them also. The joys of technology.

This is our house on Christmas Eve.

Fun in November

2011-01-10T17:02:00.001-08:00

November was busy but fun. Matt (Davids brother) got married and it was a lot of preparation but it was beautiful. I love my new sister in law Sarah. Welcome to the family.

This was Bostons first snow storm and I didn't catch the right picture of him staring up at the sky. He was amazed at what was coming down.

This is him the next day in a big snow pile. He liked it at first but then I think he realized it was cold and he was stuck. By the time I took this picture his smile was gone.

This picture I had to put on here. This shows how strong my little boy really is. This is his cousin Bentley who is a lot bigger and taller then he is. He is pushing her around like she is a beauty queen as she sits on this toy Escalade. It makes me laugh how strong he really is.

Halloween

2011-01-07T14:04:00.000-08:00

Okay so the Rogers had an early Halloween party because David and I were going to be in St. George for my nephews baptism. It was actually Mike and Kristy's idea. The only problem was none of us knew what we were going to be so we all just put what ever we had on. David had a meeting that night so he just put his mission tag on. (by the way this was on a Sunday) I just found some old pj's and clipped Bostons Binky to me. Now Boston his was planned. We borrowed my sister in laws Nieces costume. Thanks. If you cant tell he is a monkey which fits him well.
Now the reason Mike and Kristy put this together is because they had something to tell us. I didn't have any good pictures so I will just have to tell you. Their costumes where awesome. Mike was a bun maker and Kristy was an oven with a bun in it. "Bun in the oven." I am so excited I will have someone pregnant with me and you know I'm excited for them also.

Lots of posts coming your way.

2011-01-06T22:48:00.000-08:00

It has been a long time since I have posted about Boston and how he is doing. So here they come. I'll try to get them in order for me because this is my little journal.

I found him getting on my stuff one day. He was having a ball. The next day I got locks. I will let him play every so often because its so fun to watch him.

Boston loves to watch movies with his daddy. This only lasts for so long but it is so cute. They are both so interested.

Ok so its late I'll continue another day.

I know... you are all wondering boy or girl?

2010-11-29T16:17:00.001-08:00

This is a profile of my cute baby BOY. I know shocker! It didn't surprise me but it did surprise some other people. I knew it was a boy. It took a while to find out what sex it was because just like Boston he had his legs crossed. He was facing my back but with applying a little amount of pressure, to wake him up, he moved. Yeah! We are so excited! Now finding a name for this little one?

In loving memory of a wonderful grandma

2010-11-09T13:48:00.000-08:00

My grandma passed away this Halloween and although I am grateful I was there to say my good byes, it has still been hard knowing she has passed but wonderful knowing she is with our Father above and with her family smiling down on all of her family.

I just wanted to say a few things about her and how wonderful she was. I have many memories of her but I will only write a few.

First of all I don't remember much of this since I was really little but I was told she took care of us a lot when my mom was going back to school and needing help.
I do remember being there a lot.
I remember her always having lots of yummy food when we were there and always having ice cream in the freezer. (Vanilla and Neapolitan)
I remember dressing up in her night gowns. They were so pretty and silky.
I remember always making forts in her house and boy did we make messes.
I remember watching the price is right and lets make a deal at her house but I'm pretty sure that was for grandpa. (who passed in 2005)
I remember her always making Afghans and trying to teach me. I wish I would have listened better.
I remember going on walks with her in the morning and never being able to keep up. She walked fast for an older women.
I remember her going to bed early and being awake early to make breakfast but in these later years she slept in a lot.
I remember her being to everything she could be to for her grand kids even if we lived in SLC and she lived in Cedar.
She would always tell me small things come in big packages. (She is short also)
She would always sing.
She used blue shampoo to make her hair shiny grey (at least that's what it's suppose to do.)
The words that would always come out of her mouth would always make us laugh.
And finally, I remember when she met David. We were at Trevor's farewell and I had been talking to David all day. Grandma saw this and walked up to us and said "Kell is this your boyfriend?" Keep in mind this is the first time I had seen David since we graduated. I didn't know what to say and I did like David so I just looked and David and said "yes." I know, daring, but I got the feeling he felt the same about me as I did him. Later that night my grandma came up to me and said he sure is cute. Which is something my grandma always said when she saw a cute boy. Anyways I can now say thanks to grandma, David and I were able to skip that weird period of not knowing how the other person felt and get on with dating. Thanks grandma, who knows what would have happened if you didn't come up to us that night.
Well those are a few memories that I wanted to share. I love my grandma and will miss her but I also know she is in a better place then we are.

Boston dancing

2010-10-26T16:56:00.000-07:00

Boston loves to dance to music but I can never catch him on camera cause he stops when he sees it. I finally got him today. Sorry it's so small.

Another one on the way.

2010-10-01T13:01:00.000-07:00

Ok so now that it is official I can tell you all that I am pregnant. I am a little over 11 weeks and always sick. I know I know some of you are saying "what are you thinking." Well, It took so long for us to get Boston that David and I decided on a time that if we did get pregnant right a way I could handle it. So yes I can say it happen sooner then we thought it would. Way sooner but we are excited and think that it will be a good thing as long as I can fight through the sickness and tiredness I think we can make it.

Thank you

2010-09-06T17:34:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to thank all of my in laws for taking time out of their Labor Day weekend to help move my mom. We are so grateful you helped us and thanks to the wives and girlfriend for sacrificing you husbands. I know you all had plans and I am sorry we ruined them. I have such an amazing family and there are not enough words to tell you how thankful I am for you. Thank you again. I love you.

Boating

2010-08-15T15:14:00.000-07:00

Ok so I know this is way late but the beginning of August David's sister came into town and when she comes it's a party. We went camping and boating and boy we had a blast. Here are some pictures from our trip.

This is Boston chilling with dad on the boat. (Just on the shore not moving) Boston loved the boat especially when it was nap time.

He hated his life jacket at first but I think he got use to it. I have more pictures of him smiling in it then not.

Grandpa caught a fish and when the grand kids got off the boat he threw it back in an let them think they caught it. He is so good with the kids. We love him.

This is David teaching Jaxson how to ski. Jaxson is just standing on top of the skis. Later he tried it by himself but I didn't get good pictures.

Now this one has a story to it. One, this day was freezing and Kylie wanted to try to learn to ski. This was the only good picture because after I took this shot I dropped my camera in the water while trying to save the rope from going into the propellor. Note to self, don't put camera around your wrist while bringing in the rope. Dumb I know. However, we found my camera thanks to the boys for diving in the freezing cold water for about ten minutes. Yes, I did manage to get the pictures off as you can tell but the camera is broke. Oh well, all I care about is that I got the pictures. He really does answer your prayers. I had angles helping those boys that day because it was deep.

Anyways, it was very fun and eventful. Can't wait to do it again.

Our 5th year anniversary

2010-08-15T14:52:00.000-07:00

Well Monday August 9th was our 5th year anniversary. Wow how time flies. It seems like we just got married yesterday.
Monday we didn't really do a lot it was really nice to have David stay home from work so we could get some stuff done around the house. We did go to Texas Road House for dinner with Boston of course. It was so yummy.
Anyways for our anniversary David decided he would take us to St. George to stay in our time share so I could see family and we could enjoy some fun time with Boston in the pool and just relax. We had a blast. Thank you honey.
I just wanted to share some wonderful things about my wonderful husband. I want you to know that I love you so much. You are such a wonderful husband and an amazing father. I love when you come home and Boston is just all smiles. He loves his daddy. I don't know how I got so lucky to get a great catch like you. I love that you love to have a clean house. I love that you are so spiritual and can always help me when I have a question. I love that you love me and Boston and show it to us every day. Thank you for being such a hard worker so I can stay home and take care of Boston. I love your family. Most people wouldn't say that about their in-laws but there is not one bad thing about them. Well except that your family makes it hard to produce girls. Hehehe
There is so much more I love about you but I have to stop because are son is being impatient so I have to go.
I love you honey and I am so grateful you asked me to marry you. Thank you.

My Sweet B

2010-07-21T14:55:00.000-07:00

Boston turns 6months on the 23rd and I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have my sweet little boy. He brings so much joy to our lives and there is never a dull moment. We are always smiling and laughing at him. He now can roll over both ways, grab anything and everything, sit up (with a few falls) eat baby food or anything soft and tries his hardest to drink out of a big boy cup. He loves any and all foods; there hasn't been one thing I have given him that he hasn't eaten. He loves to play with water bottles his dog rattle, his dog that barks (thanks Amy), his bubble books and anything with a wrapper. Well, he will play with anything you give him. He loves to bounce weather it is in his exersaucer or your arms he will bounce as much as possible. Yet I still can't figure out why I don't have arms of steel. He has just started to be able to scoot himself in a complete circle but can't figure out forward or backward. Let's just say he never stops moving I can hardly sit down anymore and he always has to be moving or entertained with something. I dedicate every waking moment to my son and love every bit of it. He loves when daddy comes home and greets him with a big smile. He loves to spend most his time outside and loves to play games with us while daddy holds him in the Bjorne of which Boston loves to be in. He is not a big fan of his car seat but if the moment is right he will fall asleep and enjoy it. He loves to laugh when mommy laughs and loves to be tickled. He smiles the most when we make kissy faces and sounds at him. He loves sounds.

Boston loves his bath time and has now figures out how to lift him self up to stand which makes for a hard time washing him cause he doesn't have a firm hold but it's enough to fight me on getting him to let go.

He has only had vegetables for baby food. I just give him fruit in his mesh feeder. This is him after eating peas. He loves apples. He loves food.

When in doubt I can always but him in the laundry basket with some toys and he is set to go and as happy as can be.

He has no teeth yet but I always wonder if he is working on them cause he has his moments. He still wakes up in the middle of the night but we are working on that. When he wakes up in the morning he wakes me by pounding on the mattress and always has a smile when I go to get him. Oh ya and he loves to sleep on his belly. I can't break him of that but its so cute he looks like an angle. Well I think that is almost everything.
I am so blessed to have him and love him with all my heart. We love you Boston.

Happy 4th of July

2010-07-13T17:24:00.000-07:00

I know its a little late but that is just the way I run these days. I look at it as better late then never. Anyways for the 4th of July weekend we didn't do a lot. Saturday we went shopping for clothes for my moms wedding. This may sound funny but her colors are red white and black and the funny part is I didn't have any of those colors for dressy clothes. Who doesn't have white and black. Thanks mom for giving me a reason to shop.
Sunday we got together with Davids family which would have happened anyways because we always get together on the first Sunday of the month. I always enjoy seeing the extended family. Last but not least Monday. Ok I lied I think it was Monday we went shopping. I don't remember what we did Saturday. Also Monday night Davids mom, brothers, and Sarah (Matt's girlfriend) came over we had a BBQ and played washoos and watched our bishops fireworks. Thanks neighbors for letting us watch. Well that's about it but here are some pictures from that weekend.

I took some pictures of Boston sporting the red,white and blue. Doesn't he look cute! He was actually really tired so he wasn't in the best mood. I started to take the pictures inside and he just got mad so I decided to go out side. The second I set him on the grass this is what he did so I snap these two pictures as fast as I could.

Boston loves dogs. We finally let him get up close and personal with Misty and Max. Misty doesn't get as close anymore because Boston tries to pull her fur. Max as you can see lets him do a little more. Both dogs are very protective of him. When it was colder they were in the house and whenever he would cry they would be right at his side. They are so fun and we still love them.

This is Boston watching the fire works. he just stared at them. I actually went to put him to bed and I felt so bad that my son would miss his first firework show so I let him stay up and watch them. He really enjoyed them. P.s Ignore all the zits on my face I don't know what was going on but that was like a phase I should have gone through in high school. Well, technically still going through ahhhh.

He is already a flirt

2010-07-08T14:42:00.000-07:00

Boston loves to stare and smile at girls. This is his cousin Keelian. Oh puppy love. He is giving her his you know I'm cute look. He thought it was working until. . . .

Oh the pain of rejection. It doesn't seem to bother him, he knows she will change her mind.

First really hot day

2010-07-07T14:32:00.000-07:00

The first Sunday in June my niece was blessed and we had a family get together at David's parents house. It was really fun however, they hadn't uncovered the air conditioner yet and so the house was really hot and everyone was sweating. David decided it was cooler out side in the shade then it was in the house so he took Boston, undressed him, and went outside. here are some of the cute pictures i took. My two boys are so handsome.

Boston's 4 month Picture

2010-07-07T14:29:00.001-07:00

I know its over a month late. I just don't get much time. Again I tried to take a professional looking picture and failed. It's still cute.

Memorial Day Weekend

2010-07-01T20:54:00.000-07:00

We went to St. George over Memorial weekend to see family and to go to the Foisy family reunion. It was Bostons first long trip but he did really good because we took my niece Mariyah and my nephew Brayden. Yes, it was a tight squeeze but Boston slept part of the way and stared at Mariyah the rest of the way. We got there Friday and that night played some games at Alisa's. Then Saturday was the reunion which was fun. I saw so many of my relatives that I haven't seen in years. It was so good to see all of them. Sunday we went to church at Makenzie's ward and then David, Kennedy and I went to go see my Grandma Ouida, who doesn't really remember us that well but she was in love with Boston she couldn't stop staring at him and telling us how cute he is (as if we didn't already know). Love you Grandma Wuido. Then Monday we came home. We always enjoy our trips to St. George they are always full of fun events and good time. We love our Family.

Trevor and David taking care of the babies while playing some washoos at Makenzie's house. We had a blast staying up every night and all night. Well,I Guess Boston didn't like it to much but he survived sleeping in his car seat.
Swimming with daddy. "Don't I look cool!" We went swimming at my aunts house before we left home. We had so much fun. It was Bostons first time in a pool. He seemed to like it but it didn't last long he was really tired.

Swimming with Grandpa Steve
"Love you Grandpa."

Davids REAL experience

2010-06-29T10:12:00.000-07:00

As most of you know and some of you don't; David was asked to be a sub for REAL on May 15th when they played against Mexico. It was a neat experience for him to be asked to try out and then to be asked to possibly play was a dream come true. To even get on the field was amazing to him. He was so grateful for the opportunity and hopes he will get to do it again.

I love you honey and you are the best soccer player I know. I love and support you and I always enjoy watching you play.

Warming up with thee team. He looked good out on the field.
Just before the game. Doesn't he look good in their colors. They should keep him.

Boston loved watching the game. Well until he got tired. Oh and that is Davids mom and dad behind us. They always support us. We love them. Ric was there also. he is the photographer because we all know Boston wasn't going to let me get good pictures. Thanks Ric.

Warming up to hopefully get in the game but he never got to play. Still a wonderful experience and he was grateful they even asked him to play. We were hoping he would be able to keep the jersey or something but he got nothing. Oh well!

Bostons Room

2010-06-11T18:14:00.000-07:00

I know its hard to see but my mom helped me figure out what to do with Bostons room so I wanted to show everyone what it looks like.
Thank you Heather and Ed for making his name and the shelf it goes on. I love it and I will have to buy one from you when we have our 2nd child.

Thank you Mom and Kendra for the pictures on the wall. They go great with the bedding.

Thanks to all that helped me with Bostons room because I couldn't do it on my own.

Laundry

2010-06-10T17:13:00.000-07:00

I forgot that I took this picture and I just found it. One day I was doing laundry and Boston didn't want to be put down and he didn't want to hold still. So this was my way of bringing up the laundry and holding him. Moms have to multitask and this was me multitasking. Boston actually enjoyed the ride up the stairs. I looked down and he was smiling so I had to snap a picture.

Boston's Blessing

2010-06-03T15:04:00.000-07:00

I know this is late but here are some pictures from his blessing doesn't he look so cute.

He was blessed on April 11th 2010 at 11:00am. He did really good during his blessing but after that was over he was a handful and not happy at all. However, on the bright side all I asked was for him to be good during the blessing and he obeyed.
Thanks to everyone who came and helped out. We love you

Bostons First Easter

2010-05-25T15:43:00.000-07:00

You would have thought he knew exactly what his basket was for. He was so happy Easter morning.
He was a sleep during the Easter egg hunt so we hid some eggs around him.

Whats going on !

Our family on Easter

Cousins

2010-05-04T21:10:00.000-07:00

Bostons other cousin on the Rogers side. He is surrounded by girls which means hopefully he will know how to treat a girl when he is older and have lots of choices of girls from his cousins friends.

I know this is late

2010-05-02T20:05:00.000-07:00

I don't know how many of you know but April 1st is Davids Birthday and boy was this year a fun one for him. He decided to go to soccer practice that night. The next thing I know he is calling me telling me he has to drive to the ER to get stitches in his head and of coarse being April Fools Day I thought he was kidding but NO. Apparently, he and the goal keeper went head to head to get the ball and the goal keeper bit his head. His two front teeth went into Davids head and broke off in it. The poor guy shattered his teeth but I guess its happen before because they were already fake teeth. David had to get 5 staples in his head. This is what he came home with. He isn't happy I am posting these pictures but I had to. I love you honey.

I wish I had a picture of what it looked like before his staples but its on my phone and I don't know how to get it to my e-mail.

Here goes a lot of pictures

2010-04-27T15:18:00.000-07:00

I was trying to take professional pictures. I'm not very good and don't have the best of the best cameras but it does ok. He fell asleep while I was trying to take them but they still turned out cute.

I was trying to duplicate a picture I saw in an ad. Didn't work as well.

Look at those blue eyes. He gets them from his handsome father.

I thought this was so funny. He is our Buddha baby. I rub his belly for good luck.

Boston loves his bath time. He always makes a funny look when I put him in the water but as soon as we start splashing water on him he smiles and starts splash'n around.

He brings us so much joy. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful sweet little boy. He is the sparkle in our eyes. We wish he wouldn't grow so fast.

Sorry

2010-04-27T15:12:00.000-07:00

Ok I just want to apologize to all of you that keep checking to see if I am ever going to post again. I promise I am still alive however, David and I had to get rid of our Internet temporarily. So the only time I can post is if I remember to bring our lap top to my mother in laws and yes I always forget. So don't give up on me yet I am still trying. Thanks for your patients.

Daddy and Me

2010-03-28T19:09:00.000-07:00

David is trying to help Boston sit on his own. We love when he does this because he just stares into space and smiles most the time.

The babies of the triplets.

2010-03-28T18:49:00.000-07:00

Not the best picture but these are the babies of the the three triplets. On the right is Makenzie's then middle is my little boy Boston and on the left Trevor's little one.

Priceless Moments

2010-02-12T19:14:00.000-08:00

Wide eyed and lovable.

Mommy and me.

A special moment with daddy.

Our first family picture

2010-02-11T20:23:00.000-08:00

This picture was taken at the hospital by a photographer from the hospital. I didn't want my picture taken at first because it was the day after he was born and I still looked awful but I'm glad we did because he is so cute and you cant see that much of me. We have lots more cute pictures.

Boston at Bentleys Blessing

2010-02-10T16:17:00.000-08:00

I know I'm Precious!

Boston has arrived

2010-01-27T19:24:00.000-08:00

On January 23rd, 2010 at 3:12am Boston was born at Intermountain Medical Center Labor and Delivery. He weighs 7lbs 10oz and 20 1/2 inches long. After a 23 hour labor and delivery mom and baby are happy and healthy.

Our Story

My water broke at 4:30am on January 22nd so we packed everything up and got ready to go. We arrived at the hospital at 6:30am and expected to see our baby boy that day. However it took a lot longer than what we expected. After several hours Dr. Larkin wanted to put me on pitocin to get me to dialate faster. The nurses checked me every one to two hours to see how I was progressing. I wasn't! To make a long story short at about 11pm 0n the 22nd I was at a 9 and had been at a 9 for at least 4 hours. I'm not completely sure of all the details they all mesh into one but I can guess. Anyways they decided to up my pitocin and give me an epidural in case I needed to get a c section because they like the baby to come out with in 24 hours of water breaking and I was pushing it. At 3:12am Boston finally came with a big cone head and all. I don't want to go to much into detail 1) there is way to much to go into detail and 2) i don't really remember. All I know is it was a hard labor but very worth it. I really wanted to go natural and obviously I didn't but I tell David I think I pretty much went natural after waiting so long to get an epidural. I would do it all over again if I had to because Boston is so amazing and we love him so much. He is a wonderful baby and very easy going. He has changed so much from this picture and I will continue to update when I get a chance. We love our baby boy he brings us so much joy.

Loving the beach

Misty and Max taking it easy on the beach. they waited patiently for us to play with them.

Dogs playing in water

2010-01-03T21:07:00.000-08:00

I posted a little bit ago about us going boating and taking our dogs and I wanted you to see how much fun they had. We thought they wouldn't like the water but they loved it. They loved to fetch the ball even more. We had a blast watching them.

Now

2009-12-30T15:13:00.000-08:00

This is me now with hopefully a few weeks left.

I hope to get more posts in but I had to hurry and do these.

Baby Bump at 34 Weeks

2009-12-30T14:58:00.000-08:00

This is my bump at 34 weeks. Its a little bigger. I grew really fast at the start and now towards the end I havn't grown as much. However, I am still getting bigger and more uncomfortable.

Baby Bump

2009-12-30T14:48:00.000-08:00

Okay so I told one of my dearest friends that I would put a picture of my belly on and that was months ago. Now that I am about 3 weeks from my due date I just remembered. Marty I am sorry. This is me at about 27 weeks.

Sorry Im Lazy

2009-11-18T14:07:00.000-08:00

So I have not posted for a long time and we have had a lot happen to us so I'm going to have lots of posts to come if I have enough time. I hope I put them in the right order.

First of all Davids brother Matt came home from his mission on Sept. 15th and that was fun to see him. He has 3 new nephews he has not seen and 2 on the way. That same week Davids other brother Sean moved to Arizona for work so it was very mixed emotions that week. We said hello to one and good bye to the other. So that week we decided to try to go boating for the last and first time this year so that Matt could have his first boat trip since his parents got the boat and 2nd so Sean could have one of his last for a while. It wasn't the warmest but it was still fun. David and I decided to take out two dogs to see how they would do. They were so good and so much fun.

We played on the beach for a while and then decided to get wet so a few decided to go skiing and wake boarding and stuff. We had about two people get up and then the boat stopped working so those that were on the boat had to paddle back to the beach to get us and we had to load up and paddle out to the dock which was a long ways away. However, we got lucky the patrol saw us and came to pull us. In the process of being pulled it started to rain and hail on us pretty hard. We made it back ok but boy was that an adventure.

It's a BOY!!!

2009-09-13T16:27:00.000-07:00

Aug. 31st we had our ultra sound to find out the sex of our baby. Yes its a boy. No suprise there he is a Rogers. However, let me tell you it was a challenge to see if he was a boy I swear it took like 45 min for them to find out. He was being very stubborn and happend to be a sleep with his back facing my belly and his legs crossed. It took lots of pushing on my belly which did not feel good but he finally moved. Lucky for us she got the picture just in time because he wasn't there for to long before he turned right back with his back facing us. We did get this cute profile of his face.
We are so excited for our little boy and can't wait fot him to come but we have a ways to go. I hope it goes by fast.

Baby on the way

2009-07-31T16:39:00.000-07:00

Guess what I am pregnant! We are so excited for this new journey in our lives and hope that we are as ready as we can be for it. Daddy to be just can't wait because he can't stop telling everyone. He decided to tell all the elders quorum before I really expected to but its okay. He said it just came out I didn't even know I was saying it till it was to late. It was fine I just thought it was funny because all these people came up to me smiling and I didn't know what for.
I am about 15 weeks and finally getting out of the sick stage. Thank goodness! People keep saying I'm already showing which I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing but all I can say is I definitely feel bigger then I want. I know I know it worth it. Its all worth it in the end. Whats even more exciting for me is I am pregnant with my sister Makenzie; although she is due October 4th and I am due January 26th I still get to say we were pregnant at the same time and that is really what I wanted.
I am so excited and can't wait to find out if its a boy or a girl. We really are fine with either we just want a healthy baby but its still exciting to guess and hear what people think. So let us know what you think.

Graduation

2009-07-24T20:49:00.000-07:00

I forgot to post that David finally graduated. Well, he finally walked because he graduated in December but he didn't get to walk until April. He didn't really want to walk but i told him it would be a good example for our kids to see a picture of their daddy graduating.

My how they grow

2009-07-23T17:16:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of my puppies at 4 1/2 months. They have gotten so big I can't carry them any more but no matter how big they get I will still love them. We are so glad we have them. In fact the day we really figures out how much we loved them was at taylorsville days. We being the smart people we think we are decided to take our dogs to the fireworks we figured if they got scared we would be strong enough to hold them. Well, David was strong enough but I was not. As soon as the fire works started both our dogs started to bark and freak out they even went to the bathroom on us. YUCK! So we decided to take them on a walk. Well I got up and took about two steps and Misty pulled so hard I let go and she ran out of sight. So of coarse I took off after her not really seeing where she went. Luckily there were lots of people that did see her at this time David had no idea where I had gone and I couldn't get a hold of him. I ran what felt like miles till nobody had seen her and by this time I finally got a hold of David he ran to where I was and took off towards our house. Mean while my neighbor called me to tell me she had ran home. I had been crying for a long while and I called David to tell him and he was almost home which he must have really been booking it because we weren't that close to home. When we both got home we talked and realized how much both our dogs meant to us and how sad we would have been had we lost either of them. Needless to say we spend as much time as we can with them and care for them dearely so we don't ever lose them.

The newest members of our family

2009-04-15T12:10:00.000-07:00

On March 28th we picked up these two cute puppies in St. George. Their names are Max (the brown one) and Misty (the black). We love them so much! They are now 8 1/2 weeks old and are much bigger and much more outgoing. They love to run and pounce on each other and fight a ton.
Let me tell you the story in how we got them. We went to St. George to visit all of my family (not seeking a dog) and to see my new nephew Austin and just play. My dad and Makenzie new that I had fallen in love with a Border Collie Lab mix puppie but didn't get it because I found it on a sunday. So my father, the wonderful man that he is, decided we should go look at dogs. I figured it wouldn't hurt because when I did get a dog I would have a better idea of what I wanted. So we drove to a number of places then Makenzie told me her friend had some puppies that were Border Collie with 1/4 Springer Spanial that she was just giving away. So of we had to go see them. When we got there we fell in love, David with Max and I with Misty. We couldn't decide who to take home, so we told the owner we would be back. We went out to eat with the family and when we were headed back to get a dog we had decided on Max. As I got out to the fence Misty ran up to me first and that was it, we had to get two of them. We figured it would be nice to have a friend. So there is the story. We drove home not prepared to have a dog and we had two. I have to aslo add that David did not want any dogs for the longest time but he loves them so much. Its so fun to watch him with them.

Halloween

2009-02-22T17:51:00.000-08:00

I know this is way to late but I was looking at old pictures and passed by these. This is David and I at Halloween. We are at my brother and his wife's party. We had a blast! This was the first year WE decided to dress up. I don't know if you can tell but Davids mask would bleed when he pumped it and it made many little kids afraid. The picture where he is by himself is him sitting out front scaring kids. They would grab candy and he would bleed and move. It was hilarious.

From Our condo

2009-02-22T17:48:00.000-08:00

Out side our window in Steam Boat Springs. Isn't it beautiful.

Steam Boat Springs Colorado

2009-02-21T20:14:00.000-08:00

We took a vacation in January with Davids family (all 19 of us) to Steam Boat Colorado. It was so beautiful there and i wish i had a picture of how much snow there was. We went sledding at a park and when we walked into the snow it was to my thigh. It was a work out just to walk.

Steam Boat reminds me a lot of Park City it has all those cute little shops all over. (Which is where we got this picture with the dog, she was huge.) You are surrounded by mountains and there are ski lifts and resorts everywhere. Let me tell you it is just as expensive as Park City. To go tubing for 1 hour it was $40 per person. WOW!

I enjoyed my time away from work and stress and had a blast with Davids family. We stayed up all night playing games and watching movies. while the boys stayed up all night play Star Craft. By the end we wanted to kill our husbands for not wanting to spend time with us, so they stopped.

Anyways if any of you ever wondered what it is like at Steam Boat I gave you a little bit of what I thought of it. It is very fun and worth the trip and if you go, don't forget to go to the hot springs.

David Graduated

2009-02-01T20:59:00.000-08:00

So here I am writing all these fun things that have happened in the last year and I totally forgot one of the most important things that happen last year. On December 18th David graduated. It's about time! It seems like it has taken forever but it has finally come and I am so proud of him. It is such a great accomplishment for anyone and I know at times it has been hard and frustrating but he made it with out a complaint. He graduated with a Bachelors of Art in finance and will be walking in April.
Since he has graduated he found a job working at L3 Communications where he did his internship. He is enjoying his job he works with many of his friends and his brother Mike works in the engineering department so he gets to visit with him often. We are both grateful for his job and this opportunity.

Family Fun

2009-01-15T17:32:00.000-08:00

Okay so last year Davids dad purchased a used boat. So for the summer we went on a camping/boating trip. We had a blast and since David and I are the only ones in the family who don't have kids (I'm not bragging) we got to kind of go out and do what ever we wanted to do. However we aren't that mean so we did watch the kids so the others could have fun on the boat also. We did have a couple of break downs and got stranded in the middle of the lake. We had to row back to get the rest of the family. We put the kids in the tub behind the boat the girls in the boat to row while the men got to walk along the woody, rocky shore and pull the boat a long. Not to long after we started a small fishing boat came and hooked us to his boat and pulled us to the dock. It was hilarious and we made some great memories. We are looking forward to making more memories and having lots more fun on the boat.

Summer Of Camps

2009-01-14T11:55:00.000-08:00

Ok so I know this was forever ago but I want to go back to last summer when I went to girls camp and youth conference. For youth conference we went to Reeds Ranch and if i could tell anyone anything about it I would say that place is amazing. If anyone is in a youth group or if you are having a family reunion I would definitely recommend this place. We had a blast horse back riding and going on the lake and of course it is all what you make it and the help of the youth made it even better. I love my calling.Then for girls camp we went to the church camp area that Gordon B. Hinkley dedicated. That place is also amazing and very spiritual. We stayed in cabins that were pretty big and comfortable if you bring a pad to sleep on. Anyways it was really fun and I had a blast. Again I love my calling and I love our youth.

Im Sorry

2009-01-12T15:09:00.000-08:00

Okay, So I totally know that I haven't posted for a very long time and I want to say sorry for that but in my defense I am very busy and I try to get time to post but I could do better. So I am going to try to post as much as I can while I am in Steam Boat Springs on vacation. I have a week left and I am hoping to get at least one a day done. I will try to put it in order the best I can but we have had a lot happen in the last year that I might forget something along the way.

Working out

2008-05-08T20:25:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I have a confession to make. I haven't really exersiced or even pushed myself to doing something new in years. I go on walks here and there but I rarely work out so hard where I am so sore that I can't even move. So let me tell you what David and I want to do more regularly. Just the other day we decided to get out our bikes and go bike riding. Now I haven't been bike riding for about 13 years, and can I tell you when you haven't done that for so long man it works some muscles out that you don't even know you have. So I have a challenge for all of you. I want you to go for a long bike ride or do something you haven't done for a long time, like skating and tell me how you feel afterwards. Even though I was very sore, it felt great to work out. I love feeling sore because it tells me I burnt something off, whether it's fat or just my butt because of the friction from the bike. However, it all felt better then sitting on my butt doing nothing. I just thought I would share that with all of you.

Our Grand Canyon Trip

2008-02-28T10:21:00.000-08:00

We went to the Grand Canyon on are way to St. George from Phoenix. It was my birthday so we thought it might be fun and since none of us (Makell, David, Josh and Lindsey) had ever been to the Grand Canyon we were way excited to see it. We really only got to see three sites before it got too dark to see anything but it was so beautiful and so much fun. The sun set was amazing!
I did however find on the drive up that David doesn't really like high places, mainly when it comes to kids being around edges but he did really well. He would stand on the edge and look down and it didn't bother him at all, so he really isn't afraid of heights. I on the other hand found out that I am deathly afraid of heights. I was so scared I barely got close to the edge. I was telling all of them on the way up I was not afraid of heights and that I loved the feeling of being high. Man was I wrong! I guess you can't really say you like high places if you haven't really been to many. I do remember one time with my dad we were camping and we went on a hike up some really sandy hills. I remember when we got to the top of one of the rocky hills dad held me and had me look over the edge where I could see the steep valley below. I was scared but not really, more surprised then anything. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I based me not being afraid of heights on that one time when I was a little kid. Stuff just didn't scare me but now I know I am totally afraid of heights. You all now know something new about me that I didn't even know myself.

Our First ACN Convention

2008-02-26T23:09:00.000-08:00

We went to Phoenix for our first ACN convention. We had such a blast. David, Ric (David's brother) and Josh (David's soccer buddy) went to the convention while the two girls had fun. We'll the girls did go to the first day of the convention and it was very up lifting. We Learned a lot and we are so excited at whats to come and the success that will be coming our way.

I guess you can say this was one of our first vacations other then St. George. It was so fun to just hang out with each other, at least when the guys weren't at the convention. We stayed in the Marriot which was way nice. We went swimming and watched a lot of sports. I can't wait to do it again.

Tagged by Makenzie.

2008-02-04T19:25:00.000-08:00

I got tagged by Makenzie so I believe I am suppose to tell you 3 things I love.

1. I love when David and I actually have time together with nothing else to do. When we can sit back relax and watch a movie or just talk. Those moments aren't very often but they are amazing. I love that.

2. I am so sick of winter I am going to say I love summer. I love swimming and boating which I haven't done in forever. I also love watching all the kids outside and enjoying themselves.

3. I love being with family. I love goofing off with them and playing games and just being myself. Its so fun.

2008-01-06T18:19:00.000-08:00

We have something new going on in our lives. David and I have started a new business, (I guess that's what we will call it), we are working with a phone company called ACN and we absolutely love it. It has been a blast trying something new. We have just started so we are still learning but if any of you are interested in helping us out and want to see if we can get you a cheaper phone bill please call us. If you don't know our numbers they are 801-647-3726 (Makell) and 801-647-3743 (David). We are so excited to see where this leads us and hopefully it will allow me to stop working so we can one day start a family.
