My friend Shaylee Burr took Avery's newborn pictures and I absolutely love them. They couldn't have turned out any more adorable. :) I'm obsessed.</div>

Our sweet Avery was given a name and a blessing by her father on Sunday, March 3, 2013. She did so good, no crying or anything! :) We had such a great day filled with family, friends and food. It was great to have so much support from everyone.</div>

Can you believe it's been 8 weeks today since this cute girl joined our family??? Oh ya, did I forget to mention that I had my baby? :) I'm a little behind in the blogging world but that may be because of all the fun, excitement and scares we've experienced since our little Avery came into this world. I guess a good place to start would be the beginning.<br />

Avery Facer was born on January 17th, 2013 at 6:20pm weighing 8 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. Our little runt. :) I couldn't have asked or been blessed with an easier delivery and recovery. She was perfect and had no problems either. We got to the hospital for my scheduled induction on my due date at 11:00 and I got my epidural fairly soon after and was able to relax the entire time until she came. It was such a great experience and so fun having the kids come to see her for the first time. We had lots of visitors and everyone at Orem Community Hospital was amazing.<br />

When Avery was born we noticed right away that she was tongue tied but didn't really think too much of it. You can kind of tell in the above picture. After a few days of painful nursing I spoke to a lactation specialist and she mentioned that her being tongue tied most likely had something to do with it and we should probably look into getting it fixed. So, when the poor child was just one week old we ended up at the pediatricians office where we had to pin her down and hold her head so they could cut the part where her tongue was connected below. It was horrible and she screamed the entire time. She didn't have any problems after that but what a way to start off life. :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Avery's brother and sister had been sick since before she was born and I just knew that there was nothing we could do and that she was bound to get it sooner or later. Her third week of life it happened just like that. She started getting really stuffy and we spent the weekend suctioning her out with the rubber bulb. On Monday afternoon I checked her temperature and she was 100.4 on the dot which is the temp you are supposed to watch for in infants that mean you really need to get them checked out. So I called the pediatricians office and they had me come in right away. When we got to the appointment they checked her and her temp was fine and her oxygen level and heart rate checked out too. They did notice she was quite stuffy though so they gave us an order for the suction clinic at the hospital so we could go get her sucked out as many times as we felt necessary. The doctor said it looked to be RSV and so they had me make a followup appointment for the next day so they could monitor how she was doing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tuesday afternoon rolled around and we went to her followup appointment. They checked her vitals and this time her oxygen level was low and wasn't going above 86. When Dr. Ashby came in she took one look at her and said if I don't admit her to the hospital I will go home tonight and worry about her all night. So, that being said we went directly next door to the hospital. Once we arrived at the hospital and got settled in our room they proceeded to hook her up to an IV to get her re-hydrated. It took about an hour and a half to get an IV in her and 5 tries. Every time they would get it in she was so dry that the blood would clot right up. They ended up getting it in her head. It was horrible and at one point during her screaming she sort of passed out and they had to rush to get oxygen on her right away.</div>

Later that evening Scott was able to give here a blessing with the help of a member from our ward who happened to be at the hospital. We also had a few visitors which was nice too. After Scott had gone home with Canyon that night Avery started going down hill pretty fast. They had her on a high flow oxygen and had to keep bumping up the oxygen amount. Eventually they decided she needed to be transferred to Utah Valley Hospital. While the team was on their way to pick her up from Provo they drew some blood and decided that they should probably bypass Utah Valley Hospital and just send her to Primary Children's who has more resources. They called up there and were notified that they were on their way but could not come via helicopter because of how much fog there was that night. About an hour later the life flight team from Primary Children's arrived via ambulance and I got to ride with them up to Primary Children's. I was actually very grateful she wasn't life flighted up there because I can't even imagine what it would have been like to watch my 3 week old baby take off in the helicopter with me left standing on the ground below. It was hard enough going in an ambulance even though I was there the whole time.</div>

It was a very long night but once we got up to Primary Children's we stayed in the PICU the whole next day but she was doing so well we got to move up to the Pediatric floor that evening. The next couple days up there we experimented taking her off the oxygen and putting her back on to see how she would do and finally on Friday they were able to send up home with oxygen but we didn't care. We were just glad she was doing well enough to go home. </div>

After she was home she was on the oxygen for about a week and then we gladly were able to ditch the tank. :) She got better so fast and we're so grateful. We know that it was due to all of the prayers everyone said on her behalf and we can't thank everyone enough. We are so grateful for this sweet baby girl and are so blessed to have her in our family and a part of our lives. She is the cutest little thing and there is definitely no shortage of love for her here in our home. :)</div>

We have been blessed so much in our lives and it was magnified for than ever this Christmas. We were prepared to have a modest little Christmas with having lots of baby things that we still needed to buy and ended up being spoiled and feeling so loved because of some angels that very generously left presents for us on our porch. It was a wonderful Christmas and such a great experience for us and our children.<br />

The last couple of weeks we have been patiently playing the waiting game ready for our little Avery to arrive. I went to the doctor yesterday expecting great news but of course that wasn't the case. I go back next Monday and he said we can schedule my induction for the 17th unless I happen to have this baby on my own before then. I'm trying to be patient and hopeful but at the same time I like plans and I've been induced with both of the other ones so that's our plan for now.<br />
<br />
Scott started back at BYU yesterday after 6 years off and we are very excited and proud of him. It's going to be an adjustment for all since we won't be seeing him as often as we're used to but we are glad that he is back in school and working towards his career.Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11978478238710571436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738248043557557375.post-17237581659349187152012-12-20T10:58:00.003-07:002012-12-20T11:06:27.541-07:00The last couple months...November thru April marks our busiest half of the year.

November 3rd was Scott's birthday. He turned 28! So crazy! What this really means though is that I'm turning 28 right around the corner... Scott is such a hard worker and does so much for our family. The kids and I love him so much and couldn't have asked for a better husband/father.<br />

This week I am officially 36 weeks pregnant and bigger and more uncomfortable than ever! This pregnancy has been extra hard on my body and I'm not really sure why. I feel like an old woman all the time and I can hardly hobble around anymore. I can't wait for this sweet baby girl to decide to make her debut! I'm hoping she comes early, which is not likely if she follows after her other siblings. A girl can dream though, right?<br />

On December 16th Scott and I celebrated our 7year anniversary, crazy! I can't believe how fast 7 years goes by. It's been crazy and full of ups and downs but it's been wonderful. My parents were kind enough to have the kids sleep over on Friday night and originally we were going to get a hotel in SLC but lets face it, I'm too big and pregnant to be any fun this year so we'll save that idea for a later date. :) We ended up going to dinner at our favorite place, Dock of The Bay, and then finished up some Christmas shopping. It was a great evening with my handsome hubby.<br />

Last Saturday it actually snowed enough that the kids got to go out and play in it! That sounds a little strange for Utah I know but ever since we moved down here by Utah Lake we don't hardly get any snow and what we do get doesn't stay long. We usually have no snow at our house and can drive 5 minutes to Lindon where my parents live to find that they have 8 inches. Kinda crazy, but good. Snow isn't my favorite anyway. :)<br />

Yesterday was a busy day. It was the last day of school for Canyon before Christmas Break and we got to go to his school's Christmas Sing and watch him perform 2 songs his class has been working on. He did so good and I'm bummed I didn't get any pictures of him singing. The place we decided to sit in the auditorium was the farthest away we could be from him of course. Next year I'll choose something a little more central.<br />
After his Christmas Sing we got to go to Savanna's preschool Christmas program. She did great singing also and the big guy even showed up so all of the kids got to sit on his lap and tell him what they want for Christmas.<br />

Last but not least, We got a new little cousin yesterday too! Scott's sister, Alyssa gave birth to a cute little guy yesterday evening and we got to go to the hospital to visit. The kids loved him and are now even more excited that we get a baby of our very own in the next few weeks. AS AM I. Please come soon little lady!<br />

I can't believe how much stuff goes on once your child is finally in school and we're just in kindergarten. We've already had 2 fundraisers and 2 pajama days and so much more. There is something new every week. Wednesdays seem the busiest because I help to change out the books for the 3 kindergarten classes at the school and then Canyon has Soccer Club in the afternoon back at the school. I'm very grateful that he gets to ride the bus because not only does he love it but then I don't have to run him back and forth everyday. Savanna is in Preschool 2 days a week and loving it. She gets so excited to go everyday and is really a little smarty pants. She's been practicing writing her name and her letters and is doing so well. I really like her preschool and am glad I decided to let her go this year. <br />
As of tomorrow I will be 29 weeks pregnant and it's not going very fast... I'm no longer sick which is awesome! But I have been having my usual back pain and kidney issues which isn't fun either. We are struggling with agreeing on a name this time but hopefully one will just come to us and fit perfectly. :)<br />

The kiddos when we were at the hospital for my rhogam shot last week. Canyon was dressed in Scrubs for career day that day so the nurse was nice enough to give them "accessories" so they could look like real doctors.</div>

Canyon started Kindergarten on Tuesday, August 28th and his first week has come and gone already. He was so excited to start Kindergarten and what makes it even more fun is that he gets to ride the bus to and from school. He loves it! His favorite part is waiting at the bus stop for the bus to come in the mornings because he gets to play freeze tag with the big kids. He goes to school from 9:00 to 11:55 so the first day Savanna and I sat in the front yard starting at about 12:15 and waited until the bus finally arrived at 12:50. When the bus pulled up in front of our house I waited patiently for Canyon to get off the bus. After waiting patiently and no one getting off I walked over to the bus doors and said I was waiting for Canyon. The bus driver turned around and shouted for Canyon and no one came. Finally I started walking up the steps of the bus and saw him walking down the aisle. "I can't find my backpack mom", he said. Typical Canyon. So busy talking that he doesn't pay attention to what he is doing. We proceeded to walk to the back of the bus looking on each bench and found it on one of the back seats where his little gang of ward friends were sitting. After that I stressed to him that he needs to always pay attention to where his backpack is so he doesn't lose it. We also want to apologize to the cars that were patiently waiting behind the stopped bus. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Canyon has loved school so far and I am so happy about this. He loves coming home from school and showing me his papers that me did at school that day and telling me about PE or the library or the computer lab or whatever other new and exciting thing they got to experience that day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Savanna and I have missed him for the 3 hours that he is gone in the mornings but it has also been fun to spend time with her just one on one. Tomorrow she starts preschool and is thrilled! She will be going twice a week just for 2 hours a day and it will be so strange having both of my kids gone for those couple hours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been so blessed to have been able to quit my job last August and spend this year with my kids. I'm sad that they are growing up so fast and leaving me! It will be nice to have a couple hours a week alone though at least until this baby comes in January. :)</div>

Well a lot has happened. Here is a brief update.<br />
Scott is no longer working in North Dakota! Wahoo! Huge blessing. :)<br />
I am 21 weeks pregnant and we just found out we're having a baby girl!<br />
Canyon started Kindergarten last Tuesday, crazy!<br />
And Savanna starts preschool tomorrow... wow!Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11978478238710571436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738248043557557375.post-59829559674129940312012-05-01T18:33:00.000-06:002012-05-01T18:33:01.345-06:00Canyon's Birthday and Daddy's 2 week visit!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were so lucky to have Scott home for 2 weeks with us this last time he was home! We ended up picking him up in Logan because of issues with his truck but it worked out because we picked him up the morning of Canyon's birthday and then stayed in Logan overnight and made a fun day of it. I got a great hotel on priceline and since it was a Tuesday we got it for a steal! We did so many fun things while Scott was home. We went hiking, fishing, shopping and so much more! It was so great to have him home and really sad to see him leave again. He's back in ND now but only for 2 weeks this time and not 3 like the last time. We can't wait for him to come back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In other news... Canyon turned 5 on April 17th! We can't even believe how fast time has flown with this little guy. We love him so much and got to celebrate his birthday all week! </div>

The only thing that would have made it better was if Scott could have been here with us. :( Other than that though it was pretty great. We got to go to two Easter egg hunts, one at my Grandma and Grandpa's farm and one at Scott's Aunt Emily's house. Easter Sunday we got to go to Grandma Susan's Sacrament Meeting and see Brigham give his homecoming talk. After spending the day on the Facers deck basking in the warm sun and getting sunburned... (just me of course) we went to my parents for dinner. It was a wonderful weekend.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3KYmgkC9AsQ6O9jzWVv8IY7EVe2nnubgooes5KI-5ERdmT5Q3cRQcGBz6fyCksl3vOVBlqwh-3qjQlKGK7DrA0beAkRPAmCBgwM5wgdpH71nA_peN3ak7wuN-51Yel7Ob5ZjhbIw1lik/s1600/062.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3KYmgkC9AsQ6O9jzWVv8IY7EVe2nnubgooes5KI-5ERdmT5Q3cRQcGBz6fyCksl3vOVBlqwh-3qjQlKGK7DrA0beAkRPAmCBgwM5wgdpH71nA_peN3ak7wuN-51Yel7Ob5ZjhbIw1lik/s320/062.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729441314093459314" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIU4R3eIil99e6c2XEs_KF5MpK-u-NNT46cs_QhJwvdaSmMg_wyPom9d88VWhyphenhyphenPDlB_gF3kCJmTv2rx03sSyCsKltEVfVacDH7-u3GGFMGTA3FwnUx-HYk7dCFhcCUD1kOk6A51ea1TA/s1600/069.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIU4R3eIil99e6c2XEs_KF5MpK-u-NNT46cs_QhJwvdaSmMg_wyPom9d88VWhyphenhyphenPDlB_gF3kCJmTv2rx03sSyCsKltEVfVacDH7-u3GGFMGTA3FwnUx-HYk7dCFhcCUD1kOk6A51ea1TA/s320/069.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729441011306961170" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKWJLR8-giW-5iz-dqkb9WtJKtTyqgje4IUByiZgSJKUwUgaIcnbyoWRUARgN9GW0gkWSpTPfygGVfbqA_TKJ4vIq62tN6MKpFWRF9i0aM-EuDH5zubQHNzGATnc43aiQWRM_atr98bfg/s1600/077.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKWJLR8-giW-5iz-dqkb9WtJKtTyqgje4IUByiZgSJKUwUgaIcnbyoWRUARgN9GW0gkWSpTPfygGVfbqA_TKJ4vIq62tN6MKpFWRF9i0aM-EuDH5zubQHNzGATnc43aiQWRM_atr98bfg/s320/077.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729439898264690114" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOJoaM7bdDSboz-fofBAn3F4PPcGWWlCBl3VdYvza3SY-ZH6jdd7ww7TSlseJdBK9rjNJxMuyCkAVHgFBmILIK7eZzuqouDeH3D43Yhgv1OlToEg9XzAyE-mT2msVEwTjL11Ie9-dUPZo/s1600/091.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOJoaM7bdDSboz-fofBAn3F4PPcGWWlCBl3VdYvza3SY-ZH6jdd7ww7TSlseJdBK9rjNJxMuyCkAVHgFBmILIK7eZzuqouDeH3D43Yhgv1OlToEg9XzAyE-mT2msVEwTjL11Ie9-dUPZo/s320/091.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729439622325894338" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwHO1a9yQV7MWhJca57EleEPA0G2y2EGhaCFfNBSdEqG3U1aFj4ca_E98gl0jEOceOPflk9rbWd0YcyHXx4vopqJyIcyJeXxdgr5LGR36u29dQCfsqJPKE3wmDkzB0rv-f5SGTIa5_erU/s1600/100.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwHO1a9yQV7MWhJca57EleEPA0G2y2EGhaCFfNBSdEqG3U1aFj4ca_E98gl0jEOceOPflk9rbWd0YcyHXx4vopqJyIcyJeXxdgr5LGR36u29dQCfsqJPKE3wmDkzB0rv-f5SGTIa5_erU/s320/100.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729438583575724882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7BQKO7DV4iDP3INZJ8WiJf_WJ96itco4gZO9mw8oTgmJZb0gxMNacGIHDiwwxc9ZcOCIG9z57UdDbMY-GG32_Y1B2uvfy1Z1luluEiirR_xi70y9C5SHFocJ_AH2yhLsmt21FJdtGHYI/s1600/007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7BQKO7DV4iDP3INZJ8WiJf_WJ96itco4gZO9mw8oTgmJZb0gxMNacGIHDiwwxc9ZcOCIG9z57UdDbMY-GG32_Y1B2uvfy1Z1luluEiirR_xi70y9C5SHFocJ_AH2yhLsmt21FJdtGHYI/s320/007.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729438206303497202" /></a>Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11978478238710571436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738248043557557375.post-65488358710531397142012-03-30T11:51:00.005-06:002012-03-30T12:02:25.065-06:00A party fit for a little princess<div>Little Miss Savanna had a birthday this past week and she's now 3 years old! When we asked her what kind of a party she wanted to have of course her response was Rapunzel! We had a wonderful party and had both sides of the family over for dinner, presents and cupcakes. I got her a Rapunzel dress for her birthday and she wore it for 4 days straight. She still asks to wear it every day but I've been making her wait until we're done going places for the day to put it on. We sure love this little girl so much and are so blessed to have her as a big part of our family. :)</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_O2_Lc6IDGYiYOyBOke9CXfDxuhBlHSu4Tnte0PoQ3wsBoi1d-ClOJ7bSonwSa9iB-HojS81YkBUx95cCbau11x9Ns3Zzhe-uWEcvKCfARnJgI9-A3AhLgSjQbIRi07By0j4U9_m_FU/s1600/044.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_O2_Lc6IDGYiYOyBOke9CXfDxuhBlHSu4Tnte0PoQ3wsBoi1d-ClOJ7bSonwSa9iB-HojS81YkBUx95cCbau11x9Ns3Zzhe-uWEcvKCfARnJgI9-A3AhLgSjQbIRi07By0j4U9_m_FU/s320/044.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725750724516381938" /></a>Aunt Alyssa gave her Rapunzel hair for her birthday and it pretty much made her night. :)<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3_6sl_RdVmcfZB8sFcagxM7xbfKeQr_Vd5QOnsyHTzzDYj6DtoKexcnVukB9QJQGaB_Zo3BkRrmj-q3-f8VMFuUMRm-xaV6pqfRJBrMBFwQE7LsWumDM8sAyUDkWi1iPMIUdjYZFXt8c/s1600/048.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3_6sl_RdVmcfZB8sFcagxM7xbfKeQr_Vd5QOnsyHTzzDYj6DtoKexcnVukB9QJQGaB_Zo3BkRrmj-q3-f8VMFuUMRm-xaV6pqfRJBrMBFwQE7LsWumDM8sAyUDkWi1iPMIUdjYZFXt8c/s320/048.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725750112703304482" /></a>Opening presents with Baby Andrew.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOUGa7lRD9oYv7hhgPY3igoA_FeHXMu4zqUGvZXpF3TeZorNvX7OAWty94LqRNcrsNAzbF2nYe-lFUs-kKQp0-viIXNJEB4aP_2VDvwAISFPOTpKl64RkwDZoJ0LnbAP3NDgGaypYb6X4/s1600/053.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOUGa7lRD9oYv7hhgPY3igoA_FeHXMu4zqUGvZXpF3TeZorNvX7OAWty94LqRNcrsNAzbF2nYe-lFUs-kKQp0-viIXNJEB4aP_2VDvwAISFPOTpKl64RkwDZoJ0LnbAP3NDgGaypYb6X4/s320/053.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725749857313637938" /></a>Singing happy birthday and blowing out her candle.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj367-y337veOMSZSYM8N3zntRugm1FVcmC7M0BLcN1kCsHOF1jodu-GD1WWaoGJnx2Vf66Jfbxtv6nxXEZD20EpYd20CuaQv03hb9VV0VPPdB2H1_bUJbavkaZ3nwyn4P9uSSXqD3SOs4/s1600/058.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj367-y337veOMSZSYM8N3zntRugm1FVcmC7M0BLcN1kCsHOF1jodu-GD1WWaoGJnx2Vf66Jfbxtv6nxXEZD20EpYd20CuaQv03hb9VV0VPPdB2H1_bUJbavkaZ3nwyn4P9uSSXqD3SOs4/s320/058.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725749648736332146" /></a>And what would a Rapunzel party be with out floating lanterns?!</div>Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11978478238710571436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738248043557557375.post-75292640773648718672012-03-19T18:22:00.014-06:002012-03-19T18:56:09.446-06:00Busy Busy<div>Life is busy as ever at the Facer residence. We've been busy the last few weeks with showers and weddings and receptions and birthdays and holidays and everything in between. :) Canyon has been busy with preschool and itty bitty ball. This month he's learning how to play soccer and football and doing very well at both. Savanna is loving dance class and spend her afternoons trying on every dress in her closet twice. Yesterday she was so lucky because Aunt Alyssa let her model some Rapunzel dresses for their online business and it was the best day ever. :) She will be turning 3 in a week and is so excited because she is having a Rapunzel party. I have been super busy with my Etsy shop this month, which is awesome and I hope it doesn't slow down. I celebrated my 27th birthday with my kiddos last week and although Scott was away it was still a wonderful day and my family made sure it was special. Nikki came over in the afternoon with a bouquet of flowers and cupcakes from none other than my fav place dippidee! <span style="font-size: 100%; ">Love my sister. :) After we had cupcakes</span><span style="font-size: 100%; "> we walked to the park and played for a while. For dinner the kids and I went to Cafe Rio because </span><span style="font-size: 100%; ">Thursdays at Cafe Rio are the best because that's the only day you can get pork tamales! My In-laws gave me a gift card there for my birthday too which made it even better. Scott has been busy driving driving and driving some more up in North Dakota. This is a great blessing because the first trip up there he wasn't as busy as we had hoped he'd be but this time around it's been much better. He will be heading home tomorrow hopefully and we'll get to see him on Wednesday. Another bit of exciting news is that Scott's younger brother Brigham gets home from his mission on Wednesday! We're so excited to have him home again and we get to go see him at the airport. :)</span></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj6U89VhYXLATe-I4CpuVyWm4q6vMJoFtct27Qbrdzes8r9xGSDUNRuwb60bcvv3rKlhLe6_yx8BIZTg0m3SOVPZUgSnPf7Ya3YocyEzOlR7CZzt1CLUsKeIoSNQu-5dmHt1hXadW4MbU/s1600/025.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj6U89VhYXLATe-I4CpuVyWm4q6vMJoFtct27Qbrdzes8r9xGSDUNRuwb60bcvv3rKlhLe6_yx8BIZTg0m3SOVPZUgSnPf7Ya3YocyEzOlR7CZzt1CLUsKeIoSNQu-5dmHt1hXadW4MbU/s320/025.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721771533887771634" /></a>Itty Bitty Football :)<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAp9i0drO6rne4U58A5_vRDc5c0S8intK5ToZBcVWC6bYDYqyw_XiMrK2ybTJkyxIqukKzBvzCz9rZhc2IdeWQRL6V22tyxepfQodLkZ1JYRnmxwU22RrjvTwAub3vz9pQkvwY1dsGLKQ/s1600/011.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAp9i0drO6rne4U58A5_vRDc5c0S8intK5ToZBcVWC6bYDYqyw_XiMrK2ybTJkyxIqukKzBvzCz9rZhc2IdeWQRL6V22tyxepfQodLkZ1JYRnmxwU22RrjvTwAub3vz9pQkvwY1dsGLKQ/s320/011.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721771320832211906" /></a>Shelly's getting married!

I went to the thrift store and bought four old frames and brought them home on Saturday. I proceeded to paint them to match the prints and the lime green I already had throughout the bathroom. Today I put the prints in the frames and while assembling the last one I broke the glass trying to force it into the frame. :( I still wanted to hang it up since the others were already on the wall so it looks like I will just be buying some replacement glass soon for that one. It still turned out cute but had to happen of course.</div><div>Here is the link to the blog I got the free printables from.

After a summer of sitting in the garage because he just really didn't want to practice riding it, we busted it out and he's zipping all over the neighborhood now. It's awesome that we're having bike weather in February! Yesterday we spent hours outside playing at the park and riding bikes. Our neighbors gave Savanna a little mermaid bike they had last summer and she was doing pretty good riding around yesterday too.

Scott passed his CDL driving test with flying colors on Saturday. He called his new boss in ND that night and he is all set to head up there on Feb. 12th. He is making a big sacrifice for us and I am proud of him and how hard he always works for us. It will be tough to be away from him but we did find out that he can work 2 weeks on and 1 week off instead of 3 weeks on if he'd like to. We'll see how it goes.

After dinner I took a look at it and saw that there was a pretty good size cavity in one of his back teeth. I cleaned it and flossed it for him really good that night to get all the food out of it and then called the dentist the next morning. Canyon always brushes his own teeth. We do it together though so he can watch me and do what I do while he's brushing. Apparently he's not doing that great of a job.<div>Yesterday we had out dentist appointment to get his tooth fixed and he did really well. He was pretty nervous and didn't want to go because I was a genius and told him that they were going to give him a shot to numb his mouth... Don't know what I was thinking. Anyway, he did awesome! They gave him some headphones and he listened to emperor's new groove and tarzan the whole time. The covered his eyes when they gave him the shot and then when it was all over I asked him if it hurt and he didn't even know they had given him the shot yet. </div><div>So after it was all said and done, we've decided that mommy will be brushing his teeth for him for a little while. :)</div>Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11978478238710571436noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738248043557557375.post-51176192342924218102012-01-26T15:16:00.003-07:002012-01-26T15:25:58.375-07:00I love saving money<div>I love spending money.

I've been doing the whole couponing thing for the last year and it has really helped to build our food storage and save a lot of money.<div>Target is one of my favorite stores to shop at for everything! And what's great about target is that they have their own store coupons that you can print online and combine with manufacturer coupons. I love it! This week I saved a ton of money their. I bought shoes for Canyon which I saved $5 on and a balance ball and scale which I also save $5 on. A few months ago target had $5 off a pair of jeans coupon on their website and I was able to find some really cute jeans on clearance for $7 and after it was all said an done I got them for $2! I printed another coupon off the next day and went back and got another pair. It was awesome! :)</div></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFMbQ9jbEtBrOJEjhGasPiM6sZ_XMJSUw6AbSZiGIwt8T2R_ZCrNsRqbVoLGlgyhOc9yv7Us2JgDNgXSxqUQafH3YmG1dUxY14DS7x0czfas1_SCWdQlDvxGt3PEw-ECtv9Wx6-CZZ258/s1600/Lehi-20120126-00597.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 182px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFMbQ9jbEtBrOJEjhGasPiM6sZ_XMJSUw6AbSZiGIwt8T2R_ZCrNsRqbVoLGlgyhOc9yv7Us2JgDNgXSxqUQafH3YmG1dUxY14DS7x0czfas1_SCWdQlDvxGt3PEw-ECtv9Wx6-CZZ258/s320/Lehi-20120126-00597.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702069959913589538" /></a><div>Today I went to Smith's, another one of my favorite places to coupon at, and got all of this for $11. :) Love shopping!</div><div><br /></div><div>On a side note...

And now its fun every so often to look back and read what I wrote about when I was in Elementary school and Junior High. One of my goals this year is to be better at writing things down and making a record. I probably won't dive right into writing in my journal every night like I used to when I was young but updating my blog more than once every couple months would be a good start. :)</span><div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); "><span >So, I've been trying really hard to get up at 4:45 every morning and get to the gym before Scott leaves for work and some weeks I do awesome and some weeks, like this last one, I suck. I am not a morning person and it's so painfully hard to drag myself out of bed so early in the morning. I did make it twice last week but it was at 9:00 and I had to pay $4 each day so my kids could be at the day care at the gym. This week I've turned over a new leaf and so far, I'm 2 for 2 at getting up and going to the gym at 5. :) Hopefully I can get through the whole week and it will become habit.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); "><span >I love my husband. He is one of the hardest workers I know and he has sacrificed a lot for our family. Right now Scott's job feels like it's going downhill sort of fast. He had one really busy day last Monday and then he was home by 3:00 every other day last week. Not good. The last month or so we've been playing with the idea of him going to take a job in North Dakota that he can have once he has his CDL. It pays really well and we feel like it will be a good solution to our financial problems as well as a good step towards getting him back in school to finish his degree in wildlife and fisheries. Our plan right now is for him to go out and work for 1 year or so and then we will have enough money saved up that he can come back and go to school full time. He will be working in North Dakota for 3 weeks a month and then will fly home for a week to be with us. He studied hard and was able to take and pass his written CDL test a couple weeks ago. The final step is practicing driving and taking the road test. With work being so slow last week he was able to take Tuesday off (called in sick) so that he could go practice driving a semi with a guy in our ward. I think it was much harder than he had hoped it would be and now he's even more nervous to go take his CDL road test. He was able to go out practicing again last Saturday and yesterday and he's trying to get out once more this week and then take his final test on Saturday. I'm trying to push him as non-pushingly as possible but he's really got to get his license soon because the company in North Dakota is going to be ready for 3 new guys the first week in Feb. That means we really needs to have it complete this week to secure his spot. He's been studying and working really hard so I have confidence in him that he will be able to do well.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); "><span >Canyon is doing well and he is getting slightly less dramatic than he used to be. He really likes preschool most days and he has a lot of friends there. He's very social and personable and is always calling his classmate's by name whenever I'm there with him. It makes me laugh because I've never seen a little guy have such good communication skills. There are a couple mom's that have told me that it's because of Canyon that their kids like preschool because he is such a great friend and tries to include everyone. He's learning how to write and he likes to make cards for dad and write stories. He asks me how to spell each word and he writes the longest sentences ever (once upon a time there was a super hero that helped everyone when they were sick do the funnest things ever that they wanted to do in the whole world). That was the last sentence. </span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; ">He also is learning to sight read a few words and really likes to practice reading. He still wants to be a paleantologist and insists on getting dinosaur encyclopedias every time we go to the library.

I was shocked and amazed the first time because she has never had the attention to sit still and work on something for any amount of time. She likes to try and read like brother and starts every page in her books with "once upon a time". She loves singing and she sings while she's doing her puzzles and usually they are made up songs which makes it even funnier. She got a vacuum for Christmas and it's red just like mine and so she follows me around the house whenever I am vacuuming and she likes to ram my vacuum with hers. Her 2 favorite phrases are "I can not believe it" which she says if you tell her something exciting and "that's so silly" which she says after almost everything but especially when she hears a word that she thinks is funny sounding.

My little sister Nicole got married on October 28th in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple and it was a perfect day. She looked beautiful and happy and everyting went really well. I headed up operations over the baking of 600 cupcakes which was A LOT bigger project than I thought it would be but it's over now and I'm glad. :) Nikki and Alex got home from their honeymoon in Mexico yesterday and we went over and watched them open their gifts last night. I didn't get any pictures of the happy couple on the big day but I of course did get pictures of my own cute kids. :)<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671940267626209970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3NWPoCRzT4hXxxkvyYfoXtvmCvRnnkd4YQ9y46gCWzDy9ZjCQMr4YVYu84dk8UjNkqDLfcLisv3C5oxDaT0Ob63Ig7lJE8RtMS755pOnPV02AyK5XqgL_0FK7lh4X0OOdyggi9VCBK0/s320/kids+wedding.JPG" border="0" />Canyon and Savanna at the Wedding Reception<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaV2Knc2Taw7ZHBgIbfIq762btb6Emiy75UYA3FLYXHvKwitnXWJKll7r5t3n09IvbxGd4s2Vrd9yv1XTREL84Dy7oKCFptG5_sAMXM1MB0tPT6iR-itQxOcWI4uxr1TmiZJ8upVbrkq8/s1600/kids+dance.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671940084163533698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaV2Knc2Taw7ZHBgIbfIq762btb6Emiy75UYA3FLYXHvKwitnXWJKll7r5t3n09IvbxGd4s2Vrd9yv1XTREL84Dy7oKCFptG5_sAMXM1MB0tPT6iR-itQxOcWI4uxr1TmiZJ8upVbrkq8/s320/kids+dance.JPG" border="0" /></a> Canyon and Savanna on the dance floor. :)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1cOEazWqxDUU6h0bAYaZT_9Fbc-8zeZDUJYWJbuhz5OO0IjKvZzh1aklPto7S1c81lc1iAv1tPW0WocbhpMK1sPyBDK55bet36QkCze7Vc0z_qYjxfaMaHO0-IA7DndB7zWInkgFAco/s1600/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671939002259080114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 228px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1cOEazWqxDUU6h0bAYaZT_9Fbc-8zeZDUJYWJbuhz5OO0IjKvZzh1aklPto7S1c81lc1iAv1tPW0WocbhpMK1sPyBDK55bet36QkCze7Vc0z_qYjxfaMaHO0-IA7DndB7zWInkgFAco/s320/009.JPG" border="0" /></a> Monday was Halloween and the kids spent the day in their costumes of course, Canyon as the Black Spiderman and Savanna as Tinkerbell. We went trick or treating down main street to all the businesses in American Fork and then we came home and went to a few houses in our neighborhood. Scott didn't make it home from work until about 7:30 so we went to his parent and my parents with out him and then he met us at Grandma Joan's later where we ended the night. They had an awesome day and got tons of candy.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZC6KWxGCdEgKVMNLDaC6zQxcUZph4p66yLdTkRTnoIh-BnRRYoz9Jo-ZOiFTYWTVyfKtEoPf3R1bbQhUUOzKZD7wiZXLz3TOTDNRLZixrBSmJyfwKDvmyegTglrfW00uVtxQq_u3o2Q/s1600/deer+hunt.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671938348198663618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 228px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZC6KWxGCdEgKVMNLDaC6zQxcUZph4p66yLdTkRTnoIh-BnRRYoz9Jo-ZOiFTYWTVyfKtEoPf3R1bbQhUUOzKZD7wiZXLz3TOTDNRLZixrBSmJyfwKDvmyegTglrfW00uVtxQq_u3o2Q/s320/deer+hunt.JPG" border="0" /></a> The deer hunt just ended and Scott got this 2 point on the last day of the hunt. He was happy about it and Canyon enjoyed watching the boys hang the deer in Grandpa's shop and then helped him skin it a couple days later. It's now at the butcher being turned into steaks, roasts and jerkey... Not really sure if I'm excited about having all of this meat or not. I have never tried deer meat and I don't really want to. I'll have to find some good flavorful recipes I guess. :(<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA4a3gLjtYfdnxxgLovXo-orpnwiIz3Vpkae1it1jUwwUbrY3r4J_Xp-YL_d5JSLtARR76w-84dmv-0Vd94xRnkFhHLvVhqkgnxhC6M2RK2ajRQsiYedz5AyFcsQJ4ioJEZCz-ZyCZgP4/s1600/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671935215336923378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA4a3gLjtYfdnxxgLovXo-orpnwiIz3Vpkae1it1jUwwUbrY3r4J_Xp-YL_d5JSLtARR76w-84dmv-0Vd94xRnkFhHLvVhqkgnxhC6M2RK2ajRQsiYedz5AyFcsQJ4ioJEZCz-ZyCZgP4/s320/008.JPG" border="0" /></a> And last but certainly not least...

Next year we'll try and go on a less busy day. :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjucQ-wXB42Bq_-x6tiwZp3xKzJR-bm7CS6PNeoNOlm5UB1i8-MDxs7_BO-i2Sv_SGfwdXv7TFBHriEXywgpRe0uxnVhn8XqZy6BZ5BloV6u3enx-etKcxT6VdtlMw_ymmb6Bqyou5EkjA/s1600/105.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664502215083359362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjucQ-wXB42Bq_-x6tiwZp3xKzJR-bm7CS6PNeoNOlm5UB1i8-MDxs7_BO-i2Sv_SGfwdXv7TFBHriEXywgpRe0uxnVhn8XqZy6BZ5BloV6u3enx-etKcxT6VdtlMw_ymmb6Bqyou5EkjA/s400/105.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Ng6Szgz-BoKYHNAigxmD8bsQ1sOg9hyd5QFgR8gdBS8GsPQEUaeZjuh_8pY6kLxxVn0VJAkPE3oKACX6MWFGBpuicnf2C9zxoeeUtGhICZ63uIdSswpBI9N7tuXrKzzTIDlrbcriBiE/s1600/103.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664501763985353842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 285px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Ng6Szgz-BoKYHNAigxmD8bsQ1sOg9hyd5QFgR8gdBS8GsPQEUaeZjuh_8pY6kLxxVn0VJAkPE3oKACX6MWFGBpuicnf2C9zxoeeUtGhICZ63uIdSswpBI9N7tuXrKzzTIDlrbcriBiE/s400/103.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVYJ1UE5gJkwt5hflRW9u0ibN7zLc5WldPO16Bwm5DTsPRHTCkBQ_sCzAzitaFdpCdttmfEhXOQFwMlIYZNtypw3LqMBj-iNCLy-WmoH0ZbnEiO5okwZ5gs3KVLD7prP1dj8AzJ9Xhc9c/s1600/097.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664501324749935106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVYJ1UE5gJkwt5hflRW9u0ibN7zLc5WldPO16Bwm5DTsPRHTCkBQ_sCzAzitaFdpCdttmfEhXOQFwMlIYZNtypw3LqMBj-iNCLy-WmoH0ZbnEiO5okwZ5gs3KVLD7prP1dj8AzJ9Xhc9c/s400/097.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOMrcfz2N7tb11niXUp6MuOlB08p-gJtlg4odzm-GzwRtv7K9dmEciWqgMOpVI_xqnGhc71USgzpNH_4ecltMQILt5SSlq1dRdBULk-gS2W5ioEMawsXk__lZ2S4CmshXauqksnqQilgY/s1600/091.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664500757469746050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOMrcfz2N7tb11niXUp6MuOlB08p-gJtlg4odzm-GzwRtv7K9dmEciWqgMOpVI_xqnGhc71USgzpNH_4ecltMQILt5SSlq1dRdBULk-gS2W5ioEMawsXk__lZ2S4CmshXauqksnqQilgY/s400/091.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAlFWw0TK6E9nHFPC6FtJYSbPWhUTvty6S1hW3qaSf2jtZyvpwaTYtcOSSB-MJ8eBnYwlzfGxaqRwXc9Ot35qQwWIBISHOhhEvA670Bu2wzt8RSa_P2alqw6F9k5hdSPMdLfEw-yKola8/s1600/085.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664499716811286898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAlFWw0TK6E9nHFPC6FtJYSbPWhUTvty6S1hW3qaSf2jtZyvpwaTYtcOSSB-MJ8eBnYwlzfGxaqRwXc9Ot35qQwWIBISHOhhEvA670Bu2wzt8RSa_P2alqw6F9k5hdSPMdLfEw-yKola8/s400/085.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div>Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11978478238710571436noreply@blogger.com0
