UPDATE!!

Last week Kaysten had to get surgery on his stomach, because he had Pyloric Stenosis. He gave us a good scare. I took him into the hospital Monday- not having any idea what was wrong with him. All I knew was we had tried multiple formulas, and he wasn't able to keep down anything that the poor little guy would eat. The doctor sent us up to Utah Valley Monday night to get surgery on him. When we got there Kaysten had progressively gotten worse and worse. He was so dehydrated that he started to get really weak and unconscious. The nurses had such a hard time getting an IV in him- but after NINE pokes (three in the head) they finally got an IV in his arm. I was a NERVOUS wreck by time this happened. The surgery happened the next morning, and by this time Kaysten was SOOO HUNGRY! He couldn't eat before his surgery and he couldn't eat for three hours after his surgery. We could only start him out on a 1/2 ounce twice, then 1 ounce twice, 1 1/2 ounces twice, and then 2 ounces twice-- with three hours in between each feeding. It was SO HARD doing this because he would just CRY and CRY!! He is doing so much better now and we are very thankful for this! He is like having a new baby around- he smiles and talks so much more!

As for me and Dustin nothing has really changed. I just finished my third semester in the education program, and I will graduate in April. Dustin is working as a lineman electrician and loving it!

We had a great Christmas- even though Kaysten had no idea what was going on. He still smiled when we showed him the presents!! Dustin and I got spoiled this year lol!!! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas as well!!!!

Kaysten Feels so much better :) This is him sleeping after surgery- and this is the incisions they made on his stomach. They stuck a camera through his belly button. It was so sad-- SO glad he is feeling better!

ONE MONTH OLD!!

I cannot believe our baby boy is ALREADY one month old! He is so amazing!! We love him SO much!!!!

LOVE YOU "BABY K"!

Thankful!

Well it is November, of course the month to be thankful! I thought I would do a quick post about what I am thankful for.

I am so thankful for my amazing little family. I am thankful that we were blessed with such a handsome little (BIG) healthy boy. He is the most amazing thing ever.

I am SO thankful for my amazing husband. I seriously love him so much, and I do not know what I would do without him. He works so hard to provide for our little family. We miss him during the weeks, but love when we get to spend lots of time with him on the weekends!! I love you DUSTIN!!

I am so thankful for both of our families. We have so much help with our little man and I am so thankful for that!!!

These are just a few things :)

I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS and I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS YEAR!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!! :)

WHERE DID SHE GO?!-- a post FINALLY!

Maybe this is the question you have all been asking yourself!?! I kind of went away for a bit when things got busy!! It was crazy planning a wedding, moving, trying to finish school, and then be married!! Life sure has been crazy but it is exciting-- and I sure love it! I need to get photos up from the wedding, but I am having to use my mom's computer because we do not have the internet yet. I will post pictures from the wedding as soon as I have my disc over here!

Dustin and I tied the knot May 14, and it was the best day ever!! Everything went smoothly, and I couldn't have married a better guy!!! Married life is amazing!!! It is so fun having your best friend there with you all the time!!

This weekend the hunts started so let's hope Dustin and his brothers kill some good bucks!!!

I start school on the 29th- it is my last semester of classes, then Spring semester I will student teach AND GRADUATE in April!! I cannot wait to be done and finally start my career as an elementary school teacher. Dustin is still waiting for the union to call him out to be a lineman electrician. He is so excited, and I am excited for him! It will be awesome for him to do something he loves!!! -- It will just be sad when he has to travel a ton!!!

This summer we were just busy hanging out with each of our families. It was so nice to get a break from school and just focus on being newlyweds :) I am not ready to go back to school yet but then deep down I am, because the sooner I start the quicker I can be DONE!!!!

I am sure the ones that know have been waiting for a post about our baby boy.... Yes, that is right we are expecting a little one-- Dustin will have a little hunting buddy :) He is due October 21st, and he is doing super good right now! He is moving a ton, and the doctor says he is healthy. This next week coming up I will be 32 weeks! It has flown by but I can't wait to meet our little man!! :)

Anyways, I will post pictures soon I hope!!!

Wedding Planning, Birthday, Finals.....

WOW! That is all I can say! My life has been going a million miles an hour. Whoever decided to plan a wedding, have school finals, have mine and Dustin's birthdays, and much more all at the same time was crazy; oh wait that was ME!!! It has been fun planning it all, but I sure can't wait til May 14th comes so we can stop planning!! I am super excited because school will be over next week, then I will start updating more. I promise!!

ENGAGED!

This is the shirt his nephew was wearing!! SOO CUTE!

(the picture doesn't do it justice! It is beautiful :) )

Crazy to say I am engaged:), but it is the best feeling in the world!. It happened today, March 19th :) We went up to the Provo Temple and were standing by the fountains. Not gonna lie, I knew Dustin had been sneaky all day.. But I honestly had no idea what was going on. While we were standing there I seen Lexi (Dustin's Sister-in-law) come up to the left side of us. I was thinking at this point WTH is going on.. I turned around and up the stairs was walking Dustin's two nephews, Trevor and Trey. They had flowers, a gift bag, and balloons. I looked at Trey's shirt and it said "Will you Marry Dustin?" I couldn't believe it! The ring was in the gift bag so Dustin took it out, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him :) It was the best day EVER! I am sooo excited to spend the rest of my life with the person I love more than anything. He truly is the best guy in the world, and he treats me so GREAT! I am so thankful for Dustin's family spending time planning this great day! It was so amazing, and a day that I will never EVER forget :) I will post pictures when I get them from Lexi!!!

WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :):)
