Sonoma County

2012-01-31T15:21:00.000-07:00

On our short trip to California we were able to go to a few places even though it rained the whole time we were there. We went to Bodega Bay and saw the sites. also saw where they filmed Alfred Hitchcock The Birds.

Afterwards we went and saw the redwoods. Amazing.

Forgot how many vineyards there are. Wish it wasn't winter so I could see the vineyards in full bloom.

Finally after seeing my old house, did some shopping and eating in Healdsburg and Windsor.

Christmas

2011-12-10T23:16:00.000-07:00

I found this picture of my Dad when he was young with Santa. I took Peyton to the mall the other day and had her sit on Santa's lap. I wish my scanner worked so i could put up the picture.

Every year i look forward to my family traditions. I really remember the Christmas's in Seattle. All the family would take a trip to our house and stay a while. So many good memories.

Every year we would decorate the Christmas tree with the family and listen to christmas music. On Christmas Eve we would have a big dinner and at 3:00 the next morning Chris would run into my room saying, its christmas, its christmas, and made me go down stairs and see what Santa brought us.

The morning of christmas before opening presents my dad would read Luke 2 and after presents my mom cooked us a big breakfast. Love the holidays.

Now along with those trying to add some of my own traditions. This year i have a list of my favorite christmas movies that we had to watch in the month of December... There is like 12. lol. i think Chance pretends to enjoy it. Anyways!

Here is an Early Merry Christmas to everyone...

At the Beach with Daddy

2011-07-05T20:36:00.001-06:00

I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July... We are now in the city D'Iberville 2 minutes from the coast. So we spent our 4th hanging out at the beach.

Peyton's first time at the beach...

Peyton's New Favorite Toy

2011-06-25T23:30:00.000-06:00

She is obsessed with these keys that her Grandma Harding gave her. She loves to scoot around and play with them in her mouth. She is so funny.

Some Pics From Mississippi

2011-06-25T23:24:00.005-06:00

We are in Mccomb and Chance took me for a drive one morning just to get out of the motel room. These places were right around the corner from us.

Saw some people living in there... Sad

The lady bought this house for 14,000 dollars

Everything is overgrown with vines

They have so many beautiful churches here with stained glass windows. These are some Presbyterian, Catholic, and Christian churches all on the same street.

My New Blog - Food Styling

2011-06-10T15:51:00.002-06:00

Really excited about my food styling blog. As well as pics of the family. Mainly Peyton, with me trying to document every moment of her life.

Hopefully there will be many more pictures of my baking and cooking.

I'm going to Jackson (Johnny Cash)

2011-06-08T07:32:00.000-06:00

We finally moved back to our apt. in Jackson a few weeks ago. It was nice spending my birthday here instead of in a little cheap motel room. I was able to squeeze a few things in on my birthday. I went and got a massage and Chance took me out to dinner at Outback. It was funny, my mom called me and right when I answered she sang me happy birthday. So I had a good day. Thank you again for all of the birthday wishes. It meant a lot.

Just my luck on my birthday the Reps sold the most they ever have ever sold in one day (45) that is crazy and Chance being the manager is insanely busy. People are calling him 24/7. He has to deal with techs doing stupid stuff, like breaking the customers window or cutting a huge hole in the wrong spot and leaving it. Chance doesn't have much time for a lot of things but he is such a hard worker. He manages the techs, makes sure I am not getting over stressed and helps take care of Peyton. I dont know how he does it all. His company has sold more right now than they sold all last summer. I guess it is worth our while to be out here cause it is really good money.

So again with my observations of Mississippi. There are a lot of bugs here. lol. When I lived in California, I immediatly found out that every place was infested with ants. Well here it is cockroaches. I haven't seen any yet but chance tells me stories about going into houses where when he cuts into the wall they just pour out. Ya that's disgusting...

Being stuck inside sucks, but I couldn't go outside even if I wanted to, it is so hot and humid here. I think it got to 105* the other day. You cant be out there for more than a few minutes at a time. I do find myself more and more on facebook and posting on my blog. Kind of sad... I don't know if anyone reads my blog but I enjoy posting so I guess its more for me than anything else.

Peyton is keeping me pretty busy, she always has to be the center of attention. Which can be really annoying at times. lol. She has this fake cough that she does. (Yes it sounds just like a person doing a fake cough) then when you look at her she smiles. That little girl is getting more and more high maintenance. I wonder where she gets it from. lol.

But all in all I am making the best of this little adventure. I am excited to go down to New Orleans where Chance will be working for a little while. In the meantime I am loving the southern hospitality. I dont know if anyone reading this knows my Granny Passey. She lives in Cali. and she is the ipitamy of southern hospitality. My grandma Johnson who lives in Utah close to us told us a story before we left about when she was on her mission in the central states. She was raised in Idaho and was never around people of a different race. lol. When she went on her mission she was sitting on a bus and she saw a black lady with a little baby and she couldn't stop stairing at them. When she was getting off the bus the black lady spit on her and said "white trash". lol. I told her about how the people here are so racist against blacks and she couldn't believe even after 71 years it is still the same.

Peyton's Teeth

2011-05-24T22:35:00.000-06:00

You have no idea how long it took me to get this picture. Every time I would try to take a picture or look at them she would cover them with her tongue. She can be a little stinker sometimes. But here it is a little peak at her cute baby teeth.

Different Place, Different People

2011-05-24T22:19:00.001-06:00

Chance always has stories to tell when he comes home from installs. When he did one of his first installs, as he was explaining how to use it, he told the customer "you will need to push this button". They had no idea what he was talking about. After this going on for a little while the customer said "Oh you mean smash the button"... So now chance knows how to explain it. We just have to learn the lingo.

In another install the customer said to Chance "your not from around here are you" Chance said "no, can you tell because I don't have an accent"? The customer said, "no you have the acsent, you don't sound right, like a yankee, kind of dumb". ( apperently they call anyone over the Mason and Dixon line Yankees). He asked Chance where he was from and when he said Utah the immediate question was how many wives do you have. Chance said "I have three" then he went outside to run some wires and when he came back in they said "do you really have three wives"? Chance said "no I can't even handle the one I have" and in that southern accent the customer said, "ain't that the truth". The people are really funny and nice down here for the most part. Usually when Chance goes to jobs the people say "now you bring your wife and baby over here and I am gonna cook you dinner".

We have had a lot of funny experiences here, Some of the people slur their words together and you don't know what the heck they are saying, but for the most part I think the accent is cute. Everyone here Loves, Loves babies. Where ever we take her people just stop and start smiling and talking to her and just make a fuss about her. She loves it, obviously. A guy saw Peyton and stopped and said in his southern acsent "well don't you look cute in your little red dress". I just didn't expect that from a man to say, especially one that has just come back from fighting in Iraq.

Another thing that surprised me about this place besides the people is the weather. We had a rain storm the other day and I have never seen rain like that before, it just looked like someone was pouring a bucket of water. And there was constant thunder and lightning. But even with the storm we were able to make it to the Piggly Wiggly to get our groceries. :)

Mother's Day

2011-05-11T22:09:00.000-06:00

I hope all you mothers out there had a great mothers day. I would like to start by saying Happy Mothers Day to my mom. She is amazing, she has always put 100 percent into every thing she does, like helping those around her and even in her church callings. She is the perfect example in every way. If you know my mom, you know what I am talking about and you know how great she is. We have become really close, especially this last year. I could never express to her how thankful I am for her and everything she has done for me. She is my best friend. Happy Mothers Day Mom, I love you.

On mothers day we went to the Hattisburg ward. They are just genuine people down here. I don't think there was one person in the ward that didn't come say hi to us. There was also a sweet lady who came and asked if she could tend Peyton while I got some of the desserts. They announced in church that the next week the ward is going to Tuscalusa a little ways away were the tornado hit and help because everything there was destroyed. I thought that was so awesome.

Mississippi is in the bible belt, there are churches everywhere with a lot of different religions, the people here are so religious and church is very important to them. I respect them for that. More then anything else they care so much about helping others. That is being a true Christian. It is easy to get caught up in our own lifes but we should try to serve those around us.

Yesterday we moved from Hattiesburg to Laural and you know since i've been here I've had to try the good ol' southern cookin'. We have eaten at a few places. One was the Cracker Barrel. I know they have that in Utah but I have never been there before. I had cornmeal crusted catfish. Oh my heck! The southern know how to cook, or at least deep fry. I had it with hush puppies and cinnamon apples. They offer cinnamon apples everywhere as a side and it is basically the apples in the inside of an apple pie. We have also eaten at Logans. It is one of those kick back steak houses where everyone throws peanut shells on the floor. That is where I learned my lesson, do not order lobster here. They don't know how to cook seafood. I love seafood, but I will just have to wait until we head down to New Orleans for that.

Anyways update - Peyton is doing good. She has recently found her feet and I think it is the cutest thing. She always has her feet in her mouth and she is just in a little ball. They are her favorite toy. Forget the teething ring she wants her feet. She is so cute... She is getting older and is getting more and more fun. She will even cuddle up to me and go to sleep, that is my favorite.

Adventure for the Summer

2011-05-04T18:56:00.000-06:00

We started off our trip at around 10am after Chance took his last final. The first day we went threw a small part of Arizona and into New Mexico, I was originally excited to see New Mexico, supposedly the houses there are pueblo and Santa Fe style homes that I wanted to see, but was very disappointed. I guess we were just driving threw the wrong part. Dang... We got as far as Texas and stayed for the night. Texas was actually very beautiful you could see field after field, but of corse it was weird not to see any mountains. The people in Texas are so nice and let me tell you they are very proud of their state. Everything there is shaped like Texas. We ate breakfast at the hotel the next morning and guess what we had, waffles shaped like Texas.

We went threw Louisiana and finally we made it to Mississippi. It reminds me of when I lived in Seattle, it is very pretty and green here. It is also very humid but the tempature has only been in the low 80's, so it has not been too bad.

Peyton did really well on the trip which was a relief. I was really stressed about that, you know taking a 5 month old on a road trip across the country. It got a little rough for her the last few hours but we made it. After 26 hours of driving, it really didn't seem that long.

I loved driving through different states and seeing new places and meeting different people. The acsent down here is so awesome and the fact that they've been having tornados recently makes me think there is going to be one any minute. A little paranoid. I also like the old houses here, they are kind of charming:) but I have a vivid imagination and it can easily get out of control. At night the houses looked like a scene straight out of a horror movie.

Our apartment is in Jackson, we dropped off are stuff there and drove 90 miles away to Hattiesburg to stay in a motel for who knows how long. I can't wait to get out of this stuffy motel room.

Surprise

2011-04-30T13:01:00.002-06:00

For the last few months Peyton has drooled constantly, as babies do, knowing part of it is from teething, well..

She got her first tooth today!

She is five months old and I just happen to see it on her bottom gums. I actually couldn't believe it, I got really excited, but she was not thrilled. All she wanted was something in her mouth, it didn't matter what it was.

I remember just a week or so after she was born I was holding her and eating a cookie we had just baked, I don't know if it was the smell or what but Everytime she watched it go in my mouth she got really upset. Even now I can't really eat in front of her. I know she just wants to eat real food. I started giving her rice cereal and some fruit and she loves it. She is slowly getting there.

We weren't expecting it so early but Peyton is always full of surprises and can never guess what she will do next. She is kind of impossible to figure out.

Peyton's Four Month Pictures

2011-04-13T20:45:00.006-06:00

She started off being really happy, smily, and drooly.

It slowly went down hill from there. She got more and more tired and she was really annoyed at the flash of the camera. She was constantly trying to put everything in her mouth. yup, she is teething which was also part of the problem.

Ya, she is getting mad

Ya, she is pissed

She absolutely hated the tutu.

These were the last pictures we took as you can tell. Not happy!

But we got a lot of good ones So overall it went well. She is so funny.

She has her grandparents wrapped around her little finger. She is defiantly a spoiled little girl.

Blessing Day

2011-03-21T23:36:00.003-06:00

On March 6th Peyton was given a beautiful blessing by her Dad. Thanks to all the friends and family who were able to make it to the blessing. It was a special day for my family as Addison my niece was also blessed. It was so nice to be able to spend the day with both of our families. I love spending time with family more than anything.
Here are a few of her pics in her blessing dress. Such a cutie pie...

Little Cutie

2011-02-09T00:06:00.003-07:00

I just can't resist sometimes and just have to take pictures of her, she is just too cute.

She always sleeps with her little bum in the air...

She absolutely hates Winnie the Pooh. Every time she sees it she just starts crying.

2 Months Old

2011-01-26T21:17:00.001-07:00

I took Peyton to her 2 month check up on Monday. I cannot believe she is already 2 months old. She now weighs 9 lbs 8 oz and 23 inches long. She is in the 16th percentile for her age in weight and 86th percentile for length. She got her immunizations when we went and she actually did really well.

It makes me think back to when she was born. The day before she was born, I just had a feeling that we should stay the night at my parent’s house. My parents live less than 5 minutes away from the Riverton hospital. Chance had jobs and would be gone the whole next day and I didn’t want to be stuck in Eagle Mountain if I went into labor.

So the morning of the 22nd I started getting a few contractions or what I thought was contractions. They weren’t bad just a little uncomfortable. So after a little while I decided to go to the hospital to just get checked. I was worried that they would say I wasn’t in labor and send me home. I got there at 11:00 am and the nurse said I was dilated to a 9. Then the nurse accidentally broke my water, so the baby was coming whether I was ready or not. Chance was on his way to another job and he called asking if he could come after the job cause normally you’re in labor for a while and the nurse said no he needs to come now.

I wasn’t in any pain so when the anesthesiologist came in he said, “your not in pain maybe we shouldn’t give you an epidural”. I said, “No you give me one”. I knew it would get worse. I am defiantly glad I did. Peyton was finally born at 2:00 pm. She had the cord wrapped around her neck 5 times which was pretty scary. I am glad I was only in labor for 3 hours and I am glad Chance and my mom were there with me through the delivery.

Afterwards while they were rolling me with the baby in my arms to the recovery room, as I came threw the doors they played the lullaby song over the intercom while Chance and my parents stood at the end of the hall. It was actually really funny.

Okay enough reminiscing, there is my birthing story.

She is getting older and it is getting easier. I am taking her on Friday to get more pictures of her and I am so excited, I have a lot of ideas.

The Things I Love

2010-12-24T14:09:00.001-07:00

Peyton is my life, I love her. It has not been easy these last few weeks and it has been hard getting her on a schedule but were getting there, I am still learning. She is so cute... *I love the faces she pulls, they are so funny. I could watch her for hours, she is so entertaining. I love the way she smells. I love kissing her chubby cheeks. I love when she purrs like a cat when I rub her back. I love cuddling up with her.

Baby's Pictures

2010-12-24T13:37:00.001-07:00

Hello World

2010-12-17T21:50:00.006-07:00

We would like you to meet our new little bundle of joy Peyton Marie Harding. She surprised everyone and came 3 weeks early. She was born November 22nd weighing 6 lbs. 2 oz. It is so amazing to be cuddling with our sweet baby after 9 months. The overwhelming love of a mama starts immediately. We love her so much.

Just Wondering

2010-11-03T18:12:00.004-06:00

I cant help but wonder what the baby will look like, if it will look more like me or Chance or an even 50/50... Here are newborn pics of me and Chance. I guess either way she will be a cutie...

10.10.10

2010-10-26T17:13:00.001-06:00

I am a little behind but on the 10th of this month Chance and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary... We weren't able to do much because I am pregnant and sick most of the time but Chance was sweet enough to get me a new ring. There was an unfortunate incident with my wedding ring earlier this year so we went ring shopping and I love my new ring... Gorgeous...

Baby Shower

2010-10-13T13:34:00.002-06:00

Last Saturday was my Baby Shower. It turned out really well. These past 6 or so months of being pregnant have been rough, I have been so sick through this whole pregnancy and it was so nice to see all my closest friends and family. I want to thank all of you who came and supported me in this exciting time and for the amazing gifts.

Here is a picture of me and my best friends just being silly. I have known these girls since I was 12 and we are all still really close. I love you guys!

Update...

2010-09-08T15:25:00.002-06:00

So as I previously posted Chance was going to do his work extension in New Orleans. Well a few days later it changed back to Seattle. So we packed the car and an hour before we set out to leave on the 14 hour drive his boss decided to send him back to Anaheim, CA. So guess where we are, yup California. Again.... for the next three weeks. I'm going to try to make the best of these weeks and visit places like The Getty Museum in LA, Sea World in San Diego and of coarse do some shopping... Anyone who wants to get away for a little adventure is welcome to come along...

Anyways... Can you feel it? Fall is in the air. Even down here in Southern California. I love the fall it is my favorite season. It's time to break out the boots and scarves. I think fall strikes a cord with most people with the fresh start of a new school year "A bouquet of newly sharpened pencils", the smell of apple cider and freshly baked pastries, the amazing golds, reds, yellows, and oranges of the changing leaves and the cool crisp air... Happy Fall!

Seattle to New Orleans

2010-08-24T18:53:00.001-06:00

Originally Chance was going to do his extension for the month of September in Seattle WA. I was super excited to go with him. That is where I grew up; I lived there for 9 years. Yes it does rain there usually about once a day but it is beautiful. I just remember all the tall green pine trees everywhere, going on many nature hikes, rooting for the Mariners (That is when Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, and Alex Rodriguez were all on the team), walking threw Pike Place Market, taking the ferry and of coarse eating the most amazing seafood dishes. You can’t forget about the great land marks, the Space Needle and Mt. Rainier (when I was little I called it Mt. Reindeer)… Close enough. The beaches are chilly and rocky but beautiful and there are lots of cool museums to visit.

Well in all my excitement his boss decided he would do better in New Orleans. I don’t know much about New Orleans, I’ve never been there and don’t know if I want to go. Its like a 23 hour drive, it is hot and humid there and all I can think about is the clean up from the hurricane and of coarse going to the coast we would see all the beautiful oil everywhere… It doesn’t sound like too much fun especially for a pregnant woman, but I do love to travel and see new places and try some real good old southern food. But we will just have to wait and see. I’m sure it will end up being a last minute decision.

Baby Bump

2010-08-15T17:30:00.002-06:00

Okay guys here is a belly bump pic... This is me a little over 5 months pregnant.

It's a Girl!

2010-08-06T17:08:00.001-06:00

Last Thursday Chance flew in from California for my Ultrasound appt. to find out what we are having. The first thing the Ultrasound tech said was "Its a Girl". I thought it was a joke; everyone in my family has always had a boy first. I was completely caught off guard but Chance said he knew it was a girl and never had it in his mind that it would be a boy. It's exciting. The first thing we did when we got home was pull out my old baby clothes here are some of them.

The last two pictures are the little dress and shoes I was blessed in...

Pink Pink Pink... and Ruffles. But can you blame my mom she finally had a girl after four boys... Here are a few things I already bought for the baby.

Ruffles on the bum.

Here is a little baby quilt I made. These will be the colors for her room. Pink and Green. Cute!

I found out the other day that not one but two of my sister-in-laws are having girls along with one of my good friends. So there will be four cute baby girls by the end of the year. My little girl will sure have a lot of friends to play with...

Picking a name is tricky. Any Suggestions?

Tumbling Gym

2010-03-25T10:31:00.000-06:00

(Images by Dustin Groff)

Chance and I went to the Tumbling Gym in Springville last night with some friends. It was awesome. My favorite part was jumping in the foam pit, but as you can imagine it took forever to get out. It was definatly a work out but it was really fun... And of coarse watching Dustin and Chance Sumo Wrestle....

My Valentine

2010-02-13T13:07:00.000-07:00

My Husband Is so Sweet. He had fresh Yellow and Pink roses and a box of chocolates delivered to the house today. I am seriously married to the most amazing man... I love you Babe. Happy Valentines Day!

Pumpkin Carving

2009-10-19T05:56:00.000-06:00

Yesterday we went over to the Groff's for fondue and Pumpkin Carving. Carving pumpkins always makes it feel officially like fall. While we were carving we listened to some Oingo Boingo to set the halloween mood... It was fun to see everyone again and hang out. I think our pumpkins turned out really cool if I say so myself.

Here are the finished products. The one we made is in the middle. Its like a skull with a viking helmet on. Chance thought it was cool... and to the left is the Groff's and the right is heathers...

My Grandpa's Obituary

When I listened to this it brought tears to my eyes. It is such a sweet message.

Chris & Nikki's Wedding

2009-03-14T09:23:00.000-06:00

My brother got married on March 5th and it was a beautiful day. Here is a picture of my family on the stairs in front of the Salt Lake Temple after Chris and Nikki had tied the knot.

Starting from the top left is: Steven, Tamara, Chance, Me, Duane, Melanie and baby Avery, Spencer, Pam, Chris, Nikki, Mom, Dad, and my cute grandma... It was nice having the whole family together.

The whole day was well planned out and was beautiful. I wish my brother and new sister-in-law all the best in starting there new lives together.

Our New Condo

We got the condo in Eagle Mountain. It was such a good deal we couldn't pass it up. Finally we have our own place. I am so excited I have to brag about it a little. It is a brand new model condo and comes fully furnished. It has Three Bedroom's and Two Bath's. Here are some pictures of it. I love all of the furniture and decor.

I cant wait to finally have a dish washer.

This room we call the Safari room... Which we will eventually turn into an office.

This is our Guest Room.

Here is the Master Bedroom.

Chance was gone all of last weekend to Colorado hunting with both of his brothers and while he was gone I figured I would have some time to myself, so I decided to go to Barnes and Noble and get a book to read. I was there for about 2 hours looking for a book. I wanted something from the 16th century. I find that time period really interesting. So I found the book called “Portrait of an Unknown Women”. It takes place during the religious upheaval in Europe and Henry VIII leaving the Catholic Church to get a divorce and marry Anne Boleyn. I enjoyed this book and I would recommend it for art lovers and fans of historical fiction.
If anyone has read any good books lately they could recommend I would love to hear about them.

We really appreciate all those who supported us in this exciting time of life. It was an amazing experience and the day couldnt have gone better. So thanks again.

I hope to be able to blog often and post lots of pictures. Which I am especially excited about because of my new camera.
