Mothers Day Bliss

For Mothe's Day, Randy got me a gift card to Massage Envy for a 1 hour massage and 1 hour facial. He also coordinated with Michelle's husband Ryan so that Michelle and I could go together. This is excatly what I need! Thanks hunny:) Love you<3

He is the reason i get to celebrate this day of bliss. I've carried him within my body, Slept with him on my chest, I've kissed boo boo's, been puked on, sneezed on, peed on and pooped on, I've spent sleepless nights in a rocking chair and I wouldnt have it any other way. Some of the best joy's I get are from being a mom. I have been so blessed with motherhood and I feel like I am lacking the words to describe it.

Randy is so sweet!!!! He woke up and made his mom and I breakfast<3 Jean likes her pancakes with cheese and I like mine with banana's. At our ward they gave out pumpkin bread from Great Harvest. And after church we had Salmon, cheesey rice and salad with lemonade for dinner. What a Yummy Great Day! :)

Randy's mom Jean likes to read and loves spending time with her grandchildren. For Mother's Day we gave her a new murder mystery book called "Lemon Tart" that also has recipies, and a really cute picture frame that says "I am a Child of God", made to hold a picture of Chant.

I didnt get to spend the day with my mom because she was out of town. However, My mom is amazing! She is the perfect example of a lady, always speaks kind words, never profanes or laughs at the expense of others, never farts, and always eats with perfect manors. Her favorite color is blue so i got her a decorative candle in blue porcelain, some new earings, and a fancy sudokou book that can fit in her purse (She likes to play games and do challenging puzzles) She is always there when I need a friend or support. She is my favorite shopping buddy and one of my best friends. I dont know where i'd be without her! THANKS MOM<3 I LOVE YOU!

Easter Fun 2011

Chant's first time going to Blanding! Chant did so good in the car. He loved sitting by his uncle Sean, and just kept smileing and starring at him majority of the time. Sean is also good with all his nieces and nephews. He's such a fun uncle!

Scoot and Sara had a yummy dinner ready when we rolled into town. Elk steaks and mashed potatos and gravey Mmmmm!

I try to go to Blanding every chance I get. Being 8 hours away from my sister sucks! Next to Randy, Sara is my best friend. We have such a good relationship and we talk on the phone just about everyday:) (i look kinda gross in this pic, i've still got 10lbs to lose)

It was so cute! Faith and Chant were watching baby Einstein together and they were both glued.

My mom, and her sister Meri. I love getting together with family. Plus my aunt Meri is always cooking something good

After I told Scoot and Sara that they could be Chant's Gaurdian's we all started quoting (our favorite show) Modern Family, saying," If something bad happens, we'll be sooo haaappyy" (with Gloria's accent) "we cannot waaait"

All of the family got together for a big cookout in the mountians. I love seeing my cousin's and catching up with them. Tauni and Chris are expecting a little girl in september and Cheyna and Garrin are due 11-11-11. (i'm way excited for them)

I love this outfit on Chant, what's sad is he only got to wear it twice.

Chant is going to have some good memories razor rideing with Grandma and Grandpa Black

It was fun being in Blanding to watch Keatyn do her Easster egg hunt, she even helped Faith find her basket. These girls are just so cute and so much FUN! Grandma and Grandpa Joseph had a BIG Easter suprise for Chant when we got home from Blanding

Conference Weekend

We almost always head to Provo for conference weekend. This was Chant's first time at Grandma and Grandpa Joseph's house. He did really well traveling up there and pretty much slept the whole time. John and Jean put on a really neat puppet show for the family. They are really creative and always have fun things planned for all of us to do. We always have a good time in Provo.

By looking at this picture you can tell that Grandpa Joseph is the brains behind this photograph. lol super cute huh? ("G" is for Grandpa)John and Jean have a beautiful backyard. Right behind our heads is the spears to the Provo Temple.

The guys always go to priesthood session together. When they go to priesthood us girls and the kids usually haed to the mall for girls night or do some kind of craft together.

This was Chant's first time in the snow. He looks so adorable in that outfit, i just wish he could have used it more.

Chant's Blessing weekend

All the boys hangin out after church. Randy, John, Mike, Brandon and little Ryan

Little man crashed out on daddy's lap

I think Chant is going to like baseball. He's a grandpa's boy lol

Randy was so sick the night before and the morning of Chant's blessing. He barely made it through the blessing. It was such a good prayer, one of the things i remember Randy saying was that Chant would smile often.

Chant was blessed March 13th, 2011

Chant looked so handsome in his blessing outfit. Thank you grandma and grandpa Black

After the blessing we had everyone over to our house for sandwhiches. There was a lot of family in town for my cousin Logan's wedding. So Chant had a lot of support at his blessing including my grandma. We are so blessed to have the family and friends that we do.

My Birthday 2-11-11

This food tasted just as good as it looked! Plus I tought it was so adorable how Randy tried to cut a heart out of the pancakes

I had the best Birthday! Randy got up in the night to feed Chant and he also made me breakfast in bed. For those that know me well, you know breakfast foods are my favorite! He also took me on a shopping spree so i could get new clothes post pregnancy. My husband is the BEST!!

Chant's 2 month pic's

I can tell Chant is starting to get chubby now! He is growing too fast! As EXCITED as I am for whats to come....I know i'm gunna miss the baby stages. Im just so in LOVE with this guy and trying to CHERISH every single moment with him!<3

Chant's 1month pic

It's hard to believe that he was just in my stomach a month ago. I love taking care of my sweet little man and so far he is such a good baby. I LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!

Chant's first photo shoot :)

One of my most recent projects was this hamock. Randy's mom showed me how to knit scarves. (which is super fun) so i kinda played around and made a hamock. I don't think i did it correctly but it turned out nice for the pictures anyway lol. One of my gal pals (Brooke) came over to my house to take his pictures when Chant was just 10 days old. TA DA! My Grandma loves to go exploring and she found this really cool stick for me to use

OoOoo i just love his scrunchy face!

THE END :)

Chant's Birthday

This pic was taken the day before i had Chant. Man was i super ready to have him!! Not only was i just so tired of being pregers but i couldnt wait to meet our sweet little guy. Looking back on it now... I actually miss being pregnant. I miss feeling him move all the time<3

Drugs are the way to go! Lucky for me i had a very easy delivery, an epidural is totally nessary! However... the recovery was not all that easy but i survived lol

He's here!!! Born at 3:33pm 7.5 lbs and 19.5 in long. Chant was born with a pretty good amount of hair. I want to cut it just to even things out but Randy says he will seriously tackle me if I touch his hair lol

Randy's first time holding Chant! Randy is a lot like his dad and i know him and Chant will always have a wonderful relationship.

OUR FIRST PHOTO AS A FAMILY! This was such a special day and i can not begin to explain the happiness this little guy brings into our lives! Being parents is sooo much fun! Why did we wait 2 and half years???

Grandma Jean gave Chant this giraffe. So each month we are gunna take a picture by it so we can see his growth.

Taking the little man home YAH!!! It was kinda funny how scared and cautious we were on the drive home espically on the freeway. lol Paranoid first time parents?......Yeah thats us :) Everyone wash your hands! And if your sick...please please please stay away from me and baby Chant!

It was so nice having Randy's parents stay with us. They were such a big help! When we got home they had all the laundry and dishes done, and they even went grocery shopping for us. THANK YOU Grandma and Grandpa!!!

Kauai Trip 2010

That's Wailua river behind us (the one we went kayaking on)

This was the biggest waterfall that we saw.

I cant remember the name of this blowhole but it was really cool to see :)

Waking up to watch the sun rise was super beautiful and totally worth losing the extra sleep

Sean tried to be in the pic and got kicked in the groin lol

So then he tried to kick me in the face lol We have such a healthy brother/sister relationship :)
