I Love Summer

2011-06-16T12:36:00.000-07:00

How i love the warm weather.... I must say that summer is my favorite time of year. It reminds me of priceless summers as a kid in Bear Lake with grandma and grandpa anderson and my best friend in the whole world my sister Melissa.... How i miss her so so so much.. Or days we would lay out all day and listen to music in hopes of getting a little tan... Times change and people, even loved ones are taken from us way to soon. I am thankful for the memories i had as a child and long for her company and listening ear....Life sometimes throws us curve balls and the only thing we can do is catch it and hold on the the memories we once had and keep our heads up and keep taking one day at a time as hard as it might be... Now i have kids of my own and i only hope they can have the kind of love and friendship and memories of their childhood that i had as a kid..

Lets Go Fly a Kite!!!!

2011-06-13T11:49:00.000-07:00

Karter and i flew his first kite the other day... so much fun. He went to his cousin Bailee's birthday party and she gave them away as a gift.. Karter was so excited his was buzz lightyear.. We spent lots of time out side in the front yard flying his kite. We are so excited summer is getting closer to feeling like summer is suppose to we are having a hard time staying in the house.. Karter likes to just be outside so much we are constantly telling him to get back in the house, he likes to just run out on his own.. How i wish for a fenced in yard someday so he can just go play....

TIME FOR SUMMER

2011-06-02T11:00:00.000-07:00

Wow i am ready for summer and flip flops and picnics and walks to the park!!! Is that to much to ask for really? I don't think it is... Me and the kids are in need of some much needed sun.... Let see where to start... Highlights of the last few months. First of April, i finally met up with an old friend, Shannon, and i am so so so so glad i did. I love that girl and i wish we would have stayed closer through high school and after but so glad we are getting to catch up now.. Love spending time with her. We went to State Track to watch Mandi, and she did so great. She got medals in 3 of her four events she went for so proud of her. She is the state champ in the Girls 400 Meter... It was so rainy the whole weekend so we had all our rain gear on and had a great time. We had a great memorial day, despite the snow and rainy day that it was, we went to Evanston and decorated Melissa and Grandpa and Grandma Andersons graves... This week has been sunny so far but still chilly cause of the wind but i will take it over cloudy and wet days... Bring on Summer.. Khloe is crawling and got her first tooth 2 days ago, how time flys :( Karter will be 4 in a month also sad... they grow up so so so fast i love them so much. so thankful to have the chance to be a mommy i just hope i can be a good one :) We will post pictures soon of happenings in our life... Take care till next time

Good Day....

2011-04-26T15:19:00.000-07:00

Yippy for days like today.... Karter and I went to Layton and met up with one of my old friends so good to see her again its been a long time.. Last time i saw her was at her farewell before her mission to Rome and that was like over 5 years ago.... Thanks Alissa for having lunch with me and Karter.. Karter has a new best friend he really enjoyed meeting you and having lunch... MUST DO MORE OFTEN...
Side note miss Khloe can't sit still she will be crawling before we know it. She is scooting all over the place and rolling all over. Yippy for her and how well she has done... So blessed to have her in our home, what a joy she has been. I love my kids so much...Them and Kyle are my world....

Easter!!!!

2011-04-25T12:05:00.000-07:00

Easter egg hunts, dying eggs with cousins, lots of candy and fun......

November Really?

2011-04-21T15:31:00.000-07:00

November really Melanie? That is 5 months since you posted anything.... ok this is my promise to do better.... So alot has changed since November and alot is still changing and happening in our little world... First Karter is still as happy as ever to be a big brother. He loves his little sister Khloe so so much and he is so good with her. He is 3 going to be 4 in July and that just makes me sad he will be going to school before i know it and i can't even think how that will feel to send my baby to school... We won't think of it to much and enjoy the moments we have now. Our sweet little preemie Khloe is not so preemie anymore, she started out 5 weeks early and 4 lbs 10 oz and now she is 6 months old and 16 lbs she is doing so so well. We couldn't have been so blessed my her coming into our family. We love her and Karter so much they are my whole world i love being able to stay home and spend time with them all day. I am how ever ready for summer to come so that we can get some much needed fresh air. It has been a long winter cooped up in the house trying to keep Khloe from getting sick through cold/flu/rsv season. We managed to do it though only a few colds and one bout of the the flu for Karter and thats it...
We are still living in Henefer and loving it. Kyle is about to start a new adventure with a new job.. he has worked at Deru's Glass in Evanston for the past 3 years and he has loved that but bigger and better opportunities were offered to us and we are making the switch over to a new job next week (end of April). We are excited and nervous all at the same time. He will be working as a estimator/project manager for Mountain Valley Glass in Salt Lake. We will keep updates coming on how that goes and i promise to get pictures of our going ons soon but for now Khloe is a mommys girl and thinks the computer is taking her time away....

Where did the last 6 weeks go?

2010-11-24T15:21:00.000-08:00

Wow Khloe is 6 weeks old... That went by so flippin fast. She is doing so incredibly great.... She is already up to 7 pounds. We have been so blessed and have so very many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.. Karter is the best big brother i have ever seen he loves little khloe so much i love you see him around her... We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and holiday season.

Khloe's photo shoot!!!!

New Arrival

2010-10-14T17:38:00.000-07:00

Khloe Beth was born 10-12-12 at 12:39pm..... She was 4lbs 10oz and 17inch long. She was about 5 weeks early. We will get pictures soon.... She is doing good she has to stay in the NICU gaining weight so we hope to have her home with us soon...

Can you say slacker!!!!

2010-09-26T19:00:00.000-07:00

Yeah i am a major slacker i haven't updated our blog for way to long..... Karter is 3 and we are expecting baby 2 in November... Its a girl this time around so we are excited about that.... Karter is excited for a new baby sister./.... We are still in Henefer and we Love it here. Things are the same for Kyle he is still working at Derus and he likes it. He is now in the office now as a salesman. I am still staying at home with Karter just being a mommy... and getting things ready for the baby girl to come.. buying pink is pretty fun but its expensive starting over buying all new stuff for a baby girl after having a boy. We will keep this updated better!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2009-01-01T11:35:00.000-08:00

We had such a fun New Years Eve. My parents always have a big party for the Welling side of our family at their house. So we were in Evanston for the big party. We had a night full of lots and lots of food and lots of playing games and visiting and just having fun with our family. Karter stayed up with us and at midnight we watched the fireworks for a little bit from my parents house. We wish you all a very happy New Year..

WOW 2008 is over:)

2008-12-31T18:35:00.000-08:00

We had such a great year. Kyle has been at his job at Deru's for a year now and he is loving is. I have been a stay at home mommy and i wouldn't change it for anything. Karter is growing up way to fast. We love watching him everyday he is always keeping us entertained and on our toes. He never sits still he is always on the go. We love spending time with our Evanston family and our Henefer family we love them both so much are we are so very greatful that we are blessed to live so close to all of them. We are within an hours drive so see Karters Grandpa's and Grandma's. We spent the Holidays with our families and had so much fun. We drove a few times back and forth between Henefer and Evanston in really bad yucky snow storms but it was to worth it to be able to see our families. We are looking forward to 2009 and all that the following year might bring. We are thinking that we will be adding to our little family next year or start trying for another sweet child from our father in heaven. Mark and Jocelyn are expecting their 4th baby in February and we are so happy for them. They have the cutest little family. They have two little boys and one little girl and another little girl will join their family and we can't wait. Best wishes to everyone this coming year. We love you all and hope the year brings only the happiest of times.....

Tag for Karter!!!

2008-11-18T21:38:00.001-08:00

5 Things you may not know about Karter:

1. Karter is a morning person, actually whenever he wakes up not just in the morning but all the time. He always, always wakes up so happy, which i must say he got from his daddy cause his mommy is the total opposite. I am not pleasant when i wake up specially not when i get woken up.

2. Karter hates noodles, so mac and cheese is not in his diet plan... no soup with noodles, nothing its crazy you can only feed the kid so many grilled cheese and then what?

3. Karter loves his grandpa jones' four wheelers, he always makes the nin,nin sound when we go over there and points to the garage cause he wants to go see them. He loves them and has only been on a ride on one like once or twice..

4. His favorite thing to play with is probably his truck that he can ride and push around and my tea bo workout bands, he goes straight for the drawer where i keep my bands and gets them out and hooks them to his truck and pulls them all over the house..

5. Karter loves his daddy, he is a daddys boy all the way, whenever Kyle leaves he cries and when he comes home its like mommy doesn't even exist, I am just glad that i can stay home with him during the day so that i can have that time with him...

Karter tags: Kyler, Bridger, Rachel, Hannah, Carter

2 more weeks to ALOHA!!!!!!

2008-09-13T21:07:00.000-07:00

I am so terrible at updating my blog. I need to be more on top of things. Summer is pretty much over and i have to say that i am extremely sad. I love the nice warm weather and being able to run around in sandles and shorts. Winter is coming all to soon for my liking thats for sure. We got our family pictures taken last saturday for the "Classics" fundraiser.. it was fun to get them taken outside before the lovely white stuff falls from the sky. Ian did such an amazing job we love them. He always does a great job. He is the one who took our "anderson family" pictures last year.
Kyle and I are looking so forward to our trip to Hawaii. We leave in only 2 weeks. I can not wait. This is a busy month there is something going on almost every day especially the later parts of the weeks, to name a few... my scrapbooking class that I teach, another scrapbooking party, a super saturday that i am helping my mom with, my nail weekend, an enrichment activity that i am in charge of being that i am the enrichment leader in our ward, going to the temple on melissa's birthday(our yearly tradition), and then its time for our vacation and i am so ready now but after all those fun activities i think i will be only more ready for a getaway... happy blogging.......

So much going on!!

2008-08-09T11:03:00.001-07:00

It has been a busy but fun summer so far. We have taken so many pictures i put the slide shows together to try and narrow it down a bit. I haven't posted in so long because i don't have the internet and my parents computer has been getting fixed so i took this morning and borrowed my dads at his shop,, Thanks dad!!!. Karter turned one, we took a trip to cheyenne, we have had family reunions and still more of those to come, and we are looking so forward to our trip to Hawaii the end of September..

Evanstons Relay for Life

2008-07-15T10:00:00.000-07:00

As the Welling family, we had a team for the Relay for Life this year. We raised over $11,000 for cancer research. It was such a great experience to be a part of something so great. It was such a great feeling to have, to know that you are helping with the fight against cancer. It has personally taken affect in my life, my grandpa anderson died of cancer, as did my uncle mike. My grandpa welling had cancer, my mom-in-law is fighting cancer right now, my husbands grandma fox had cancer, and his grandpa fox is now going through more treatments as well. To many people i know have cancer it was so great to be a part of the relay, knowing that i was a part of the fight against cancer...

Our 4th of July Weekend

2008-07-15T09:52:00.000-07:00

We had such a fun 4th of July. We went up camping with Kyles family on Thursday night on their property up Chalk Creek. We stayed till Friday morning and then we went back into Henefer for the celebration that they have there. It was fun they have festivities going on all day at the park and they have a parade, which we went to and it was so much fun Karter loved it. That night we went up to Christmas Meadows in the Uintas camping with my family and it was so much fun. We went on a picnic and road the 4 wheelers around and just visited it was fun.. We stayed until sunday morning and we came home and went to church. For one who hates camping,,it was a really fun weekend. Which goes to prove no matter what you are going to be doing as long as you are with your family and the ones you love you always have a good time...

2008-06-27T15:35:00.001-07:00

Karter and i love to go for walks around our cute little town of Henefer and this past week and a half has been the perfect weather. A couple of days ago i took Karter on our daily 2 hour walk and we stopped at the park to play for a little while here are some photos.. Karter loves to swing and he is still deciding if he likes the grass. All we do know is that he loves to be outside, and i have to admit i love it to if its nice weather like it has been. Plus i could use the exercise...

I am so sick of sickness!!!

2008-06-20T11:27:00.000-07:00

Karter is still not feeling good. He is however doing better than he was. He is on an antibiotic now so... We got our trip to Hawaii booked and i am so looking forward to going. We are renting a 4 bedroom house on the beach. September seems so far away. I am sure it will come quickly though, it always seems too. I am having a yard sale next week i have had them before with my mom and stuff when i lived at home but this one is all on my own and all my stuff. It should be interesting. I am however doing it up at my moms since i think i will have a better turn out there than in Henefer. Anyway i have to go for now i am making friendship bread and i better go check it.

The Lastest

2008-06-12T10:11:00.000-07:00

Lets see last Saturday we dutch ovened with Kyles Family and it was so yummy. We made blueberry cobbler and for all you blueberry lovers i highly recommend it. It was to die for. My little Karter got sick on Saturday as well with a terrible cold. We took him to the doctor on Monday and she couldn't tell if he has azhma from the weezing or if it was just from his cold so she gave us an inhaler for him and they also gave him a shot of steroid to boost his lungs.. Now its Thursday and he is doing so much better the doc said that she was suprised that he didn't have and ear infection from they way he looked but luckily everything was perfect so he is on that down hill slide of getting better and i must say i hate having a sick baby. Especially with croop and pnemonia going around yuk...

I am so sick of cold weather. Last weekend i got a sunburn, yesterday and today it snowed!!! I couldn't believe it. I am so ready for summer its not even funny. My Karter loves to be outside. He has been pointing to outside like he wants to go out but we can't its way to cold and we only have shorts packed with us this time.
Tonight we are going to Whits high school graduation in Coalville. We also have new pictures on the way of Karter. I just have to get the disc from my mother in law so that i can post them.

QUIRKS TAG

My cousin Heidi tagged me so here are my 6 quirks

1. I am very picky when it comes to how towels are folded. I have to have the corners line up and be perfectly folded like they are at hotels!! I will refold them if anyone else folds them first that goes for all our bath towels, washcloths, dishtowels everything... and they have to put in the drawers in a certian way if they aren't stacked neatly i will take them all out refold them and put them back in the drawer. Also they have to hug up in the bathroon folded nicely like they do at hotels or you see in magazines...

2. I am very picky about how my handwritting looks on anything, if i don't like how it looks i will rip up the paper and start all over, i even do it will checks, knowing that i won't see it again after i use it.

3. I hate going with out make up or my hair done. I will not leave the house without them done. Even if its to take out the trash!!!

4. I have to have my money(when i have cash in my wallet)all facing the same way and from highest bills to lowest it drives me crazy if its not, i hate when you get change back and they are all mixed up and facing backwords i have to fix it before it goes in the wallet.

5. I have to have things planned out before they happen i like to know exactley whats going to happen. I hate flying by the seat of my pants. I need to know details i think it drives my husband nuts.

6. I alphabatize my movies. I do own a fare share of dvds i probably own over 200and i have to have them in alphabetical order and i am kind of stingy about lending them out... when i get a new dvd i have to put it in its place if that means taking them all off the shelf and redo them all. although right now karter loves to pull them off the shelfs and play with them so now some of them are just shoved on with our being in the right spots...

Finally another post!!!

Kyle and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on April 28th... Kyle and i went away for the weekend to Park City and it was so much fun and it was nice to get away for a few days although it was hard to leave my little Karter he stayed with my parents and i missed him badly the whole time i was away.... i will post some pictures of our weekend!!!
Kyle teased me when i had my last birthday cause i was turning a quater of a century, well i am proud to announce that He him self has joined the "25 club". Kyle had his 25th birthday on May 1st so Karter and i gave him a little party i will post pictures of our fabluous cake we made for him. We had his family over for dinner and then we played some games...
This has been quite the week something every day!!! I have been getting ready for our enrichment activity which is this coming saturday( i am the enrichment leader in my ward for those of you who didn't know) Tuesday Karter started to get sick... a little virus caught up with my little guy.. His temp has been as high as 103.8 and as low as 99.9 and every where in between the past couple days. Its also my nail weekend so i am doing nails in Evanston today and tomorrow, plus tomorrow is moms birthday (and jills) Happy Birthday!!! There is a candle party and my cousin is going to dye my hair, which i am so glad its in need of it badly... Saturday I am going to Salt Lake for the "race for the cure" cancer walk with my mother-in-law down at the Gateway... I am looking forward to that there are going to be thousands of people there so we will see how it goes, for those of you who don't know my mother-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and lets just say it has been a rough year.. she has been through chemo and radiation and will be finished with her last round of chemo this september.. at first the doctors didn't think it was anything to worry about and since she has had a mysectomy, many treatments, she lost all of her hair including eyelashes and eyebrows, but they are all growing back now and she looks fabulous.. We love her so much and are so greatful to our Father in heaven for watching over her. Now its grandpa's turn for treatments, Kyles grandpa Fox has to go through chemo now.. We hope all will go well for him.

We are a little late posting our Easter pictures, here are a few Happy Late Easter Everyone!!!

My Last 10 Years

1998- I was a sophomore at Evanston High School in Evanston, Wyoming.. It seems like just yesterday, time goes by way to fast i've decided. Lets see my sophomore year i don't think anything exciting happened well i am sure it did but everything that happens in high school is exciting. I was in Cheerleading and Student Council and i loved being a part of that. My favorite part was the opportunity i had to do them both with my best friend and sister Melissa. Ever since we were little we did most things together, if it was playing barbies, riding our bikes, taking clogging lessons, playing with the neighbors, you name it we probably did it together.. it was like that all the way through school too.. I loved every minute of it i was so blessed to have a sister who wasn't annoyed with me, well maybe she was but thats who she was, she didn't let that show (most days). She let me follow her every footstep.

1999- Melissa was taken to heaven and i have never been the same since, i don't think i ever will be, I know she is with me every day but that day she passed away i felt like half of me was gone too. I was working at the bakery at Jubilee when i found out about the accident and i was there when my little brother Mark and my aunt Janet came to tell me that she didn't make it. They took me home and i never went back to work there again. It was diffinatley the hardest time in my life. Thankfully i have an amazing family and had amazing cheerleading friends to help me stay focused..We all missed her fun bubbly spirit on the squad and her bright smile and contagious laugh.

2000- Hm i was definatley still struggling with not having Melissa around. Mark and I went to some counciling that they had at the high school with other kids who had lost loved ones but that didn't do me any good it really just brought back the painful fact that she was really gone. I had many thoughts of killing myself that year, i didn't want to be around if i didn't have Melissa with me. I had many hard times this year. It was hard to know that all of her friends would be graduating and i wouldn't have them around either they were all going their separate ways moving away going on missions and i felt even more alone then ever by the time graduation came around. I had many happy moments this year as well it was my Junior year and of course junior prom...

2001- It was my senior year and i couldn't wait to move out and be on my own. My senior year was fun i was the Student Body Secretary and that along with being a senior on the cheerleading squad kept me really busy. Of course friends and boyfriends there was always something going on. I was sad to have it be my last year on cheerleading but also i was ready to be done with it. It was hard for me to go back to cheering without Melissa i strongly considered quiting and not trying out the year after she passed away.. My mom, bless her, convinced me that i should stick with it, Melissa would have wanted me to. I am so glad that i did.

2002- I was finally graduated and it was fun to be on my own. I moved to Logan with my cousin Jamie Smith. We had so much fun. I got a job working with my cousin Heather at Feature Films for Families, Well Visaplex kind of a telamarketing job. It was fun i was just going to take a year off of school and work to earn money for beauty school. Jamie went and got married on me so i didn't really want to stay in Logan.

2003- I moved to Provo to start beauty school. This was kind of another hard year. Mark and his girlfriend at the time, Jocelyn George got pregnant in high school. They decided to keep the baby so in January of this year they got married and in May, their sweet little Ayden was born. I was in beauty school and i wasn't really loving it at all i did't feel like i was getting the education we had paided for so yet again i moved... To Layton this time and i got a job at the Layton Hills Mall working at a store that sold beauty products. And i started Nail School at Fran Brown. In May i finished school and took the test and got my Utah license to be a Nail Technician. I found a job at a salon in Salt Lake so i moved again....there was other reasons to the move to Salt Lake i was dating my now sister-in-law, Jocelyn Georges brother Jeremy... He lived there so i thought it would be the perfect move. I got an appartment with Jeremys sister Holly George...

2004- I was loving every minute of Salt Lake. Jeremy and I did so many things together and i loved it.. I worked at the salon for a little while till i found out i wasn't building a clientle very fast and i still had bills to pay so i got a job as a cashier at Media Play. I loved this job but most of my pay check went to buying movies. I then found another job working up in Bountiful at Consulmed with my cousin Jamie. I really loved my job at consulmed. Is was so fun...

2005- I was still working at Consulmed in Bountiful and loving it. By now i had my own apartment in Salt Lake and i loved having my own place. I could control if it was a mess or clean, loud or quiet it was perfect. Jeremy and I broke up this year and i met, well sort of met Kyle this year. Kyle was on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. His sister Katie thought i should write him so in May i started writting Elder Jones and we wrote back and forth until December 22nd when i met him for the first time in person at the airport when he came home. We spent everyday after that together...

2006- Kyle and i got engaged on January 11th... We got married in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity on April 28th. It was the coolest day of my life i felt Melissa so strong i knew she was right next to me the whole time in the temple it was absolutely amazing. We lived in Salt Lake for the next little while. I still worked at Consulmed and Kyle worked for his dad delivering water. In July we moved from the city that i had grown to love to Henefer Utah, where Kyle was raised. I quit my job in Bountiful and when we moved i started working at the Lab for Kiddie Kandids thats in Henefer. Kyles uncle owns Kiddie Kandids so the Lab were most of the pictures are printed is in Henefer. It was so hard for me to get used to Henefer. It was a hard move but i knew it was the right move for us at that time.. I still missed Salt Lake though Henefer didn't even have a gas station. In the fall we found out that we were going to have a baby.... I was so excited i couldn't wait to be a mom...

2007- In February we moved from a little apartment to a little 2 bedroom house in Henefer. I loved it. Getting the babys room ready was so much fun.. On July 17th we welcomed our sweet baby boy Karter to the world i can't even describe my feelings that day.. I have loved every minute with him since that day. I have the great opportunity to stay at home with Kater and i couldn't ask for anything better. Kyle got a job working for Staker/Parsons in Park City driving cement truck and it was going great till winter came and work slowed, well kind of just stopped.

2008- Now here we are, Kyle got a job the beginning of the year in Evanston, working for Deru's Glass as the Garage Door Guy i guess you could say. I have grown to love Henefer. We have thought about moving up to Evanston, but part of me would be so sad to move away from Henefer it is the perfect place to raise a family and the people there are absolutley amazing.. We are surrounded by Kyles family in Henefer and its only a 35 min drive to Evanston so we visit VERY often. Karter is growing up so fast and am loving every minute of watching him although it goes by way to fast...

Kyle and I are living in Henefer, Utah. Kyle works in Evanston at Deru's Glass as the garage door guy. We will have been married for 2 years in April of this year. Kyle and I welcomed our first baby, a boy, in July of last year. We named him Karter and he is the absolute greatest blessing in our lives. We have to much fun with him. He is 7 1/2 months now and getting ready to walk. He crawls everywhere and pulls himself up on almost anything. I get the great opportunity to stay home with him and be a mom. I absolutely love every minute of it. He keeps me busy thats for sure.
