Grilled Cheese Heaven

If you love grilled cheese sandwiches, I have the place for you! We decided to try this new place called

We loved it! It even has GLUTEN FREE sandwiches so Matthew was in heaven. His favorite food is cheese so it was perfect. I got a sandwich that had pesto, mozzarella cheese, and tomato. It was divine! Matthew got a cheese lovers that had just about every cheese you can think of. If you go on Tuesday, half a sandwich is only 2 dollars! So Tuesday nights is the best night to go. Its in American Fork. Go try it! 




Addy even loved watching us eat it! 

Next time we are going to try:
They are twin sisters, so I bet they will be delicious. They have gluten free as well. WHAT?!

A tribute to Matthew

Two posts in one day?! This has got to be a record. I wanted to dedicate a post to Matthew because I couldn't do it without him. Here is a quote that I couldn't agree more with.

I have loved watching him with Addy every since she was born. She has him wrapped around her little finger. I can't wait to watch their relationship grow even more. 
 He teachers her about Christ and is an excellent example for her.
 He teaches her to love nature.


 He loves to dance with her.
 He teaches her to read ;)


He loves her.

Here is a post dedicated to my sweet baby girl. She has brought so much to our family and we love her so much. She has so many cute little quirks that make me laugh every day.

My pregnancy with Addy was an easy one. No sickness and I never threw up. That is unheard of in my family. My delivery was not the easiest but so worth it. I pushed for 3.5 hours and after doing everything we could to get her out, I was told my bones were too small and I would have to have a c-section. I can say I was positive during all the pushing, but when I heard this I was pretty bummed. By that point though, I was ready to do what I needed to. So they gave me more medicine and I was whisked away to the surgery room. I had MAJOR shakes and no one cared to tell me that that was normal with all the meds that were in me... so I was pretty freaked out by that. Before I knew it, I heard a screaming baby. I couldn't believe it. Her head was quite squished because she was stuck for so long. The gash on the side of her head came from my bones. So sad.



At first, Addy just wanted to party all night and not sleep, but by about 3 months she was sleeping through the night. The recovery wasn't too bad considering it I had it "the worst" as the nurses told me. I couldn't stay inside so we went on lots of walks those first few days at home. Here are just a few pictures from the last 8.5 months.

I love this girl so much. We spend all day everyday together. I couldn't ask for more.

WE'RE BACK!!

OK..... so here is to try 100 for writing a blog. I am not going to make promises that I will keep up with it, because if anyone knows the history of my blogging.... you know I won't. Be here's to trying! I haven't blogged for over 18 months and A LOT has changed. We have a beautiful baby girl who is now 8 months and a lot of other fun updates. Here are a few....

*Matthew graduated from BYU in April '12


*Matthew did an internship for RPM and really loved the experiences he had there. He now works at Orange Soda an internet marketing firm. He will be quitting that job in August and attending BYU for his MPA. He is so excited to start school. He loves writing papers, reading, and learning. Maybe he can go to school as a profession?

*I taught my second and last year at Freedom Academy and LOVED my students. We had an amazing year. I miss them all so much.


*Had a baby girl in September 2012. She is a gem. I love being able to spend my days with her and watching her grow. It is hard to remember life without her. (My next post will be all pictures of her...can't get enough!)



*Matthew and I have added 3 nieces/nephews (one more coming on Wed!) on my side and one from Matthew's side. 
 Aiden
 Lucy
 Oakley
Carter

*I have had so many friends have babies and we love spending time with all of them. 


Well there is a VERY quick update of our family. Hopefully I will be better at updating... but who knows!
