Overboard!!!

So this last weekend was pretty crazy. For those of you who don't know my family traded their old boat in for a newer updated one, actually pretty nice looking. So Saturday my dad wanted to take it out for a test drive to get used to it since it is SO different from the last (not sarcastic.) This boat doesn't have a propeller it has two air things like a jetski. So you think well riding a jetski is a piece of cake, well I tell you it is no piece of cake by all means, this thing has so many different things you need to worry about controlling I couldn't believe it. While we were taking it out it wasn't too bad until we got out of the NO WAKE zone and started going fast, it just sounded so different. My anxiety kept getting worse, all I could think of was bad things, I couldn't help it. Then it stopped like really just turned off, so my dad turned it off and back on; it turned on, then we started heading back to the no wake zone. We were coasting a little bit and thats when the wind started blowing pretty bad, and off agian. I thought my heart stopped, we we're being blown by the wind right into the rock wall. We didn't have anything to help stop it, no control, so in order for us not to crash our new boat into the wall my sister had to jump in with her clothes still on (no bathingsuit on,) she couldn't hold it by herself so my brother jumped in from the back and helped stop it there. O MY GOSH if I wasn't already terrified from the sound it was making earlier. Luckily there was someone else that was coming in, and saw that we were having trouble and came to our rescue. They towed us to the dock, which was such a sweet thing to do, they were trying out their new boat too. After the longest probably 30 min. of my life we decided to pack it up and go home. O Boy was I glad that was over. Hopefully my dad will figure it out before our Lake Powell trip in a month!

New singers worth listening to

This is a little new for me, but I have listened to a few new people that I am LOVING! I would like to share them. 

First is Lucy Hale, ok so not only is she a talented actress but she has a beautiful voice, I will link her video.

Second is Jamie spears. So we all know her older sister Britney, she is well known for pop music, but Jamie has come out with country OMG actually she is really good, course I love any country music but I really mean it she is great!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdbyfWseIiw

Third Cassadee Pope. Any of you that have watched the voice know Cassadee she was I think the 3rd seasons winner. I loved her on the show and most of her songs are my favorite.

Fourth is Danielle Bradberry. Also a Voice winner the season after Cassadee and I just love her voice so genuine country I will be listening to her for a long time.

Fifth is Madilyn Bailey. She is so good guys, she sings all the popular songs but usually a lot softer and mostly acousticly which I just love! 

These next ones are youtube singers that sound amazing, I'm always trying to find good music to listen to, for the most part I like listening to everything.

Like cheap but stuff that really works?

DIY products that i love.

So I have been trying some diy stuff laity because who has the money to go and buy it? I surely don't.

So fist thing is dry shampoo.

I mixed
1/2 C cocoa powder
2T corn starch
few drops of essential oil (I used peppermint)

Seriously this smells like a york peppermint patty, and it works! This is also a mix for darker hair since I have dark auburn hair it only makes sense. I think it's baby powder instead of cocoa powder for lighter hair. I put this mix into a saved sour cream plastic tub, I put it onto my hair with an old bronzer brush, works like a charm.

Second thing is Beach waves

3t. any type of gel, I used some cheap kind
3t. sea salt
1/2 t. coconut oil
1C water I used hot water to help melt the oil

Mix/shake good in a bottle, I started out in a bowl then transfered it into a mason jar. I put it into a little spray bottle but I suggest getting a bigger one. spray onto either dry or damp hair and tada beachy waves.

Letting you know

So I've decided that life without a computer is not bad, just sad. My computer died on me and the only one we have is Nicks and Nick is gone all the time either work school or ya that's about it but it is all the time. Nick's computer does not upload my photos and he hates when I download things on his computer so I have no editing tools to edit my photos, hence no photos in a really really long time. It also makes me not want to blog cause blogs are not the much fun to read if there are no photos to go with it. However I am going to start blogging about everything, without photos so bare with me, I will try and keep them sweet and short. I am hoping to get a tablet this year for my Birthday/Christmas.

Update of our life: So Lexi is 16 months old on the 15th, I seriously can't tell you how crazy fast that went by, I feel like I blinked and now she is just so old. I love the stage she is in right now, learning so much, personality in full bloom. Nick is almost done with his second and hardest year of pharmacy school, he is doing wonderfully, but I can see the stress it has on him, which is why I am glad its almost over. The third and last year is just rotations so it should be a breeze. As for me I am still LOVING being a mommy and staying home. I have really gotten into makeup and beauty laity so I spend a lot of time looking at reviews on makeup and what kind is the best to get, I absolutely love it and once I get a computer of my own and can upload photos I will start taking pictures and possibly doing tutorials if people are interested. Nick always makes fun of me saying I am always changing what I am interested in, and while that is true I don't really lose interest in the other things, I just like to dabble into everything and want to be able to do everything! I do get bored of things that's probably why I change it up so much.

Things coming up, well we are going to Delta this coming weekend and seriously I couldn't be happier. Last time we went it was for Christmas, I know I know why you ask has it been so long? Well Nick works all weekend so there really has been NO time at all to go, that's why we are so so so excited I might blow up. And it's Easter, yay for Easter things. Mothers day is also coming up Nick got me some way cute shoes, and some clothes that I desperately needed.

Today I am making Hawaiian pork chops with brown rice, peas and a roll. I wish I could put a picture up they look and smell so yummy.

Let me know if you are interested in me putting up pictures or tutorials of my makeup. Til next time

I have internet again!!!!

It has been way too long and so much has happened. I don't have any pictures yet to put up but I will just let you know how we are doing. So Lexi and I are one year older, and spoiled to death. I got a 13-cup food processor and some black leather boots, Nick also got me my cello string so I could start playing again. A week later Lexi turned one (I can't believe it) she got a new coat and boots from my parents, tons of books from Nicks parents, I made her a quilt from us, and she got another book from friends, and a toy train that she just loves. A week later we went to Delta and had Christmas, I got a huge chopping block for my kitchen, with some oil to oil it down, and a shirt, cute earrings ( as always, ) some candy. Nick got money, ammo, and a shirt. Lexi got a farmer with a trailer that has animals in it, so cute, she also loves playing with that. We also got her some more books, I made her a quiet book, and she got some puzzles that I will have to do for her. We had a great time sledding with the new sled his parents got us and going for four wheeler rides. Then it was time to go back home for Nick to work. Friday night we didn't feel too good, lexi had diarrhea and I started throwing up, then Nick started throwing up and all day Saturday we were quarantined to our house with acheness, so my parents went to the store and got us some gatorade and yogurt for lexi, and we started to get a little better. We were suppose to open presents with my parents on Sunday but we didn't want to get anyone sick, so we waited until Monday to do that. So we went Monday Nick got a drill set, slippers, pjs, a new work shirt, a gift card to cabelas, a new black jacket, and an electric shaver.  I got new clothes, some cute grey hunter rain boots, pjs, and candy. Lexi got a cute pink jeep that she can push around, some books and toys for my parents house, the movie the little mermaid a new outfit some shoes and some pjs. Lets just say we were very spoiled this year. Then on the first of January we moved to Bluffdale, closer to his school, and finally I have the internet again and can update things and check up on people. O how my life is complete. Our apartment is so nice and after putting away boxes of stuff for three days, it is finally clean and feels like a home. We are right next to our close friends so we all have fun things to do.
Since we are now in 2014 I guess I should write down some goals that I would like to accomplish this year. I know typically the goal I always set is to lose weight and it still is, but I would only like to lose 20lbs before we start trying to have another baby, and actually that is a pretty hard one to set since I only have 5-6 months to lose it, but I can do it, yes I can. Another one would be I want to read the book of mormon. I would also add reading the Ensign every month and trying to keep up with what I am learning on this blog or in a journal. I guess that is all for now if I think of any more goals I will repost it on here.
I will try and get our pictures up, last time I tried to put them on the computer they would not even show up so I will keep trying.

I'm really bad at this...its about time to update

9 Months old, so much fun, and I can finally put her hair up so exciting!!!

10 Months old, personality is totally showing, as you can see, hates the hat I made her, and just a week after she turned 10 months she took her first step, o boy we are in trouble, she is already into everything, I can only image how bad its going to get when she starts walking on her own. Because her hair is so blonde, and with her hat on Nick says she looks like a cancer patient, just to clear that up, she does not have cancer. 

I like to get creative sometimes so I made fudge for the first time. It is Chocolate oreo fudge, soooo yummy everyone in the Relief Society loved them. 

So once a month Nick has to bring a treat to Bishopbric meeting, and again I love trying new things, and since the brownies I made last month were such a hit I decided to make homemade butterfingers, they did not turn out how I expected them to, but they were sure delicious, and yet another hit!

O How I love Halloween. This year we did a party with our friends and I decorated just a little bit, most of the stuff was homemade, but what am I to do with not a big budget, they turned out great. 

We carved pumpkins with those who brought them, this is ours, we usually don't do one from the book, we are a little more creative, but we started so late that we were getting tired and our thinking caps only consisted of following the simple instructions of fold here and tape there and carve that! lol it was ok, it only lasted a week we had to through out the pumpkin the other day because it was so moldy on the bottom, the top was caving in. I guess we need to wait to carve them next year, wooops!

More decorations, The kids upstairs love them. I didn't take a picture of the staircase, but I cut out bats different sizes and taped them going up the stairs so it looks like they are flying out of a cave, so much fun!

I put spiders in the ice just to add a little more effect

These are our costumes, Nick really hates dressing up so I decided to find something really non-dressy and cheap. So we are going to be smores, ha ha Nick is the grahmcrackers, I am the Chocolate bar and lexi will be the marshmellow. Thank you pintrest, not everything I do on there is a fail. 

Am I seriously the only one who loves candy corn? This picture was taken after the party, and one week later they are gone, yup mostly by me, sadly. 

The spider deviled eggs were very yummy, a huge hit, but such a long process to make. I attempted to make jello worms and I was so excited but it was a total pintrest fail, I should have taken a picture, but I was so bummed that they didn't work that I just forgot and moved on, since I had so many other things I needed to make. 

These were the Nutella swirled Peanut butter chip blondies, so so so good, I wish they were not, lets just say I'm guilty of eating at least three.

A couple days later I made homemade corndogs, sooo yummy, crunchy just they way I love them.

We took fall Gee family pictures, so fun and they turned out alright, these are all raw Nicks computer doesn't have all my editing tools and I wanted them up now. Lexi was so interested in the leaves. It is so much fun watching her grow up I love it. 

Walking with dad picking up another leaf

Right after we let her hand go, almost got her standing on her own, not quite there yet. Not in a hurry either.

I would love to do this in black and white, this is cute too 

My parents just love her to death

Me and my sissy it is very rare we are together, so we like to get proof

So my family loves taking photos, if you havn't noticed I love taking pictures of everything but I would consider myself photogenic, Nick just isnt. But we tried getting one of him anyway

My favorite of me and my baby girl, just such a precious moment. 

Us girls are huge fans of taking pictures of our shoes, now lexi can join in in our shoe fetish. such a cute photo

I love the pictures where they don't know you are taking them, for some reason they turn out to be the best ones

Love the daddy daughter ones, she just adores Nick, loves it when she gets to play with him.

The boys in the family. Nick is the tallest in his family and also in my family. Aww bonding time, how cute!

This has to be my favorite picture out of all of them. This just sums up every bit of how my brother and sister are with her, and she just goes with the flow. They love her I know they do. 

So the other day Lexi was just playing with her toys and she came over to me and she had taken off her pants, and almost all of her shirt, so I just took that off too and she was just the happiest little baby crawling around so fast. She loves being naked whenever she can, it's her favorite. 

She just loves when daddy comes home. She is usually over playing in her books when Nick comes home and our door makes a creaking sound when it is open so as soon as she hears that noise she looks over, gives daddy a huge smile, starts to laugh and books it to the door, the cutest thing ever. Just love these too to pieces!

There you go I updated finally, I need to make it a goal to do this more often than every couple of months, now since we don't see our family as often as past years. til then 

I guess I need to update

Half a year already, Crazy! At 6 months she was sitting up on her own, babbling as usual smiling as usual and just such a happy girl.  

I just love this little girl, she is so cute and so much fun to watch learn and grow. 

7 months wow getting so big. She started to scoot crawl 

Such a precious little girl

8 wonderful months, so much fun. She is now crawling everwhere she says mamama, she is standing up on the furniture, plays with her toys, and when we gave her a baby doll she gave her a kiss. She is so much fun.

She is laughing all the time, clapping, waving, and always wanting our food. 

This is my absolute favorite, she is so dang cute!

I know I have been so lazy lately with getting my blog updated, so here it is real quick. 6,7,8 months have passed, our little girl is growing up. I am losing weight, I have lost 16.4lbs and 26 something inches, and I havn't done this week yet. I am so happy this is working and I feel better than ever. I am at the weight when I was dating Nick crazy! But even though I still have 20 moreish pounds to lose I am confident that I can do it! Nick is working all the time now since he got a job at Smiths and I just spend my time taking care of lexi and me. I really enjoy being a mom.
