Jeremy, Jessica, Alix, Carter and Holden

Horseback Riding

2011-09-05T02:38:00.000-07:00

We took the kids horseback riding at Grandpa Larry's house. Here is Carter, the first time on a horse...he was not thrilled.

Holding on to Dad for dear life!!!

Alix loved it and was grumpy when she had to let Carter take a turn again...he still wasn't happy about being the horse.

Grandma Bonnie and Holden hanging out

She's my little cowgirl!

Holden's blessing

2011-08-08T10:18:00.000-07:00

We blessed Holden yesterday and everything turned out so great! I thought I'd post pictures from all three of my kids baby blessings. It's crazy how time flies and how things change!

Alix

Carter

Holden

We love our three kids and couldn't be happier :)

Our Summer So Far

2011-08-05T21:52:00.001-07:00

We have had a crazy busy summer so far. Here are just a few pictures.

The kids playing in the rain (including Jeremy!) We have had a lot of rain this year!

Sitting on the front porch enjoying the rain

Jeremy teaching Alix to ride her new bike. She loves it and is so good at riding it already.

Any chance Alix gets she is outside or in the garage riding her bike. It is her favorite mode of transportation when we go to the park or the mailbox

Carter is trouble! I don't know what he was doing on the bookshelf but he thought he was so clever

Hanging out in the haystack. We were playing hide and seek. Alix is not very good at that game but she loves to play it. She usually hides until we stop counting and then when we say "Ready or not, here I come" she usually comes running out of her hiding place yelling "Here I am!"

This is my favorite picture of the summer so far. Alix and Carter are such cheesers and they both love their boots! I love my kiddos!

Happy Birthday Carter!

2011-06-28T07:13:00.001-07:00

Carter turned one yesterday, happy birthday little man! We had a birthday party for him last Saturday at Grandma's and had so much fun!

We bought Carter a swing-set for his birthday. He loves the baby swing! I was pushing him in it yesterday and as soon as I took him out he sat down on the grass and cried because he wanted back in. Alix and Jeremy like the swings too.

Birthday Cake

Carter trucking around in his swimming suit. I think he spent more time out of the kiddie pools than in them.

He didn't eat very much of his cake, he mostly dug in it and threw it on Holden

Carter loves popsicles

On his birthday during breakfast Carter was entertaining us and himself by climbing in the pantry!

How adorable is this boy?? I just love him! He loves to play with Dad's hat

We went to the park and ate ice cream. It was extra tasty

Carter loved going down the slide. I had a hard time getting him to sit at the top long enough to take a picture of him.

Carter just liked wondering around in the grass. He looked so cute down there.

I had Mike send Carter down the slip n slide by himself. Am I a mean mom? I thought it was funny. Carter didn't.

It's a boy!

2011-06-19T14:30:00.001-07:00

Well we had another boy! Holden Everett Farnsworth was born on Thursday, June 16th at 7:33 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 21 inches long. He actually has hair too! We haven't taken a very good picture of his head yet but he has dark hair and almost as much as Carter does right now :)

This is one of my favorite pictures so far. We usually get one of Jeremy holding the baby while looking at each other and it's always my favorite!

Our cute little family of five! I can't believe we have three kids already

Proud big sister Alix. She thinks Holden is cute. She can't remember his name half the time. She usually calls him Alema

This was us right before we checked out of the hospital. I picked out Holden's outfit. I think it's pretty cute!

Snoozing on Grandma Nancy's lap

I feel like I have neglected Carter so I thought I'd post some pictures of him as well. He has been walking for about two months now, he is so crazy and into everything! He is a pro at getting around the house now. He loves Alix's wiggle car and she really likes to push him around on it.

I put Zoey's sunglasses on Carter. He liked it for about two seconds then he ripped them off his face and started chewing on them.

We went to St. George and stopped for a hike on the way home. Carter promptly sat down in the water and was soaked by the time we went to the car but he loved it.

Updated finally

2011-04-05T14:12:00.000-07:00

Well it took me long enough but I have finally updated our blog. Sorry about all the pictures! I have been quite lazy the last 3 months. Being pregnant and having a 2 year old and a nine month old is really tiring, but I love my kids!

Christmas family picture after decorating the Farnsworth's Christmas tree

We spent a few evenings outside playing in the snow

Alix and Dad playing in the snow

They made snow angels and they actually turned out pretty good!

Our super awesome snowman. Jeremy did a fantastic job!

The fort we made was pretty rad too. It actually stayed up for quite awhile.

Christmas morning. I definitely did not get enough sleep the night before

Carter and Alix were completely spoiled! More by grandparents than by us but that's okay :)

Jeremy's birthday.

For Jeremy's birthday he and Mike and Amoree went to iflyutah at the Solomon Center in Ogden and did some simulated sky diving. Jeremy did awesome!

We went to St. George one weekend to visit my grandparents. Grandma really liked Jeremy's iPad so she and Alix sat on the couch playing the iPad and iPod. I'm surprised we got it away from her when we left ;)

We did a bit of hiking. It rained all day Saturday but it was still fun to get out and get some exercise and explore. Carter was happy as a clam bundled up in Jeremy's coat.

This is my little dare devil. He thinks he's big enough to do anything. You would never know the day before we took this picture Carter crashed face first into the bike he's standing on and gave himself a little black eye. I guess he wasn't going to be intimidated enough to leave the bike alone haha

We went camping this past weekend to Vernon Reservoir. Alix loves collecting rocks and Carter had a good time crawling around the tent getting into trouble

We actually ended up sleeping in the car. Our tent blew over at 3:30 am, it was way too windy so we put the seats down and I snuggled in the back with Carter and Alix while Jeremy slept in the driver's seat. It wasn't the most successful camping trip we've ever been on but we sure had fun!

Our snowstorm (not the blizzard of 2010, the one after that)

2010-11-30T11:21:00.000-08:00

We didn't get much snow during the Blizzard of 2010 but the week after we got lots! Here are Jeremy and Alix making snow angels. This is the first time Alix has made one.

She did pretty good!

Jeremy did pretty good too :)

Jeremy and Alix were making snowballs and throwing them. Here is Jeremy's big snowball. He gave it to Alix and she promptly dropped it!

P.S. Sorry you are missing out on such great weather Kristie. I know you miss the snow :)

Happy Birthday and Happy Halloween!

2010-11-03T08:30:00.000-07:00

Well I am a little slow. Here are a few pictures from Halloween. We decided to go themed this year. Aunt Cindy made Alix and Carter the cutest costumes, Little Bo Peep and a Sheep from Toy Story so Jeremy and I borrowed costumes from Mom and dressed up as Woody and Jessi. We had a great time!

This is a family picture from Alix's birthday

Happy Birthday Alix! Alix was spoiled. Jeremy and I made a Nemo birthday cake for Alix, we spent hours making it! Jeremy spent 3 hours working on Nemo. It turned out very cute!

Birthday girl!

In this picture in the background is Alix's birthday present, Jeremy bought her a little tykes car. She absolutely loves it! She plays in it at least once a day!

Here is Alix's birthday cake!

I've got a thumb sucker!

2010-09-29T14:20:00.001-07:00

So far both my babies have been thumb suckers! It's kind of nice at night because if Carter wakes up he usually starts sucking his thumb and goes back to sleep. I love it!

My little guy

2010-09-02T07:17:00.000-07:00

Carter is two months old now, how crazy is that! He is 12 and 1/2 pounds! He is perfect :)

Camping, camping, baby blessing and other stuff :)

2010-08-05T06:00:00.000-07:00

Isn't she just so cute? I sure think so

Alix likes to share toys with Carter. By the time she was done I think she had just about every toy out. What a nice sister!

When Carter was two weeks old our air conditioning went out and it was incredibly warm in the house so we went camping one Monday night, Carter's first camping trip. We had a great time. More people should camp on a Monday night. It was perfect!

Jeremy cooking us dinner. Roasted hot dogs, tasty tasty!

Oh Alix, my little goofball. I just love her!

We camped at Timpanooke up American Fork canyon and it was beautiful! We went for a little hike, Jeremy carried Carter and ended up packing Alix on his shoulders most of the time too. What a buff man I have!

This pretty much sums up Carter's camping experience:

Our next camping trip with the four of us was with my family at Currant Creek Resevoir. We stopped at the dam on the way up and went for a little walk and got some pictures.

Our first picture we took by ourselves with the four of us. It's tricky trying to get everyone in!

Jeremy and Carter, of course Carter is sleeping again. He only stays awake for hours on end in the middle of the night when we're camping

We all thought this picture of Ema was so funny! She looks like one of those starving kids on the tv commercials (which is not funny, bytheway). Doesn't she just look so forlorn? I just love the messy face!

"You too can feed a child for only 99 cents a day"

Alix and Ema fighting over who gets to sit on the stroller. They both fit, Alix was just being a stinker!

Aren't we just so cute!!

Carter's blessing

Jeremy blessed Carter this last Sunday. I am so grateful for Jeremy and his worthiness to hold the priesthood and give us blessings when we are in need. I am so grateful for this gospel, for the truth that we have and the privilege and opportunity we have to live the fullness of the gospel and to share it with those around us. I am so grateful for my little family, for Jer, Alix and Carter and the joy they bring me. I have an amazing family and an amazing life. I can't wait for more good times to come! I love you hunny, thanks for all you do for us and our kids

Life with Alix and Carter

2010-07-29T05:26:00.000-07:00

Alix absolutely loves her little brother. I hope she always feels this way :)

Walking on the Jordan River Parkway

Watching movies together

"Don't bug us, Mom. This is a good part!"

Laying on the floor together. Carter looks just like a little frog!

Pictures with Zoey. Alix was not to be left out of this

More pictures of Carter

2010-07-01T13:28:00.001-07:00

Well here are a few more pictures of Carter and the rest of the family. It's crazy how much he just fits into our family. I was a little stressed about having two kids but I love it!

Alix was more focused on watching the move than smiling and looking at the camera

Here is my little boy. He is so cute and such a good baby. I highly recommend the rest of my sisters having boys, they are great ;)

Me and Carter hanging out at the hospital

Carter is usually sleeping...unless it's late at night. Then he is wide awake!

My handsome boys. I love them both so much. I am so lucky to have them

Grandma Wolfley and her favorite grandson. I am the only one who can say that and it's actually true!

A rare awake moment during the day

Carter and his proud sister. Alix absolutely adores Carter. I hope he is patient with her, she can be kind of rough!

It's a boy!

2010-06-27T22:49:00.000-07:00

Yep... you heard it right! We had a boy tonight at 8:54 after 13 hours. We named him Carter Ross Farnsworth. He was 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 21.5 in. Mom and kiddo are doing just fine and Dad is going to make it. ~Dad

Camping at Clover Springs

2010-06-16T11:20:00.000-07:00

We went camping last month to Clover Springs. It is only about 35 minutes from our house and we had a lot of fun!

Alix hanging out at the table eating chips. I think eating is her third favorite thing to do while camping. The first is hanging out with Dad and her second favorite thing is exploring

Alix and Jeremy hanging out. She cannot get enough of him!

Alix was snuggling with Jeremy's leg while they were standing by the fire. It was pretty cute

Our cute little family. I think my face is a little fat. I'll blame that on being pregnant :)

This is my favorite picture of Alix from camping. She is such a cheeseball

Me in the middle of nowhere. We went exploring and weren't exactly sure how to make it home! But we did get to see some cool new places like Simpson Springs, Lookout pass and lots and lots of open space

Big Girl Bed

2010-04-17T18:32:00.000-07:00

In February we bought Alix a toddler bed and last week we started putting her to bed in it. We had a rough first week.

Night number 1:

It took an hour to get Alix to stay in her room and sleep in her bed but she finally fell asleep

Night number 2:

It took an hour and a half this time to get Alix to stay in her room. This is where we found her when we checked on her

Nap number 1:

Alix did not want to nap in her bed, obviously. I have no idea how she can sleep like this!

Nap number 3:

I think she likes to sleep on the floor! She slept on a pile of books the day before during naptime

Alix is getting better at sleeping in her floor but I think it's cute when I find her in random places instead of her bed. Now we just need to get that binky away from her!

Valentines day, anniversary, Moab trip and fun stuff!

2010-03-16T21:59:00.000-07:00

My husband noticed I hadn't posted anything in awhile and looking at all the pictures on my camera I guess he is right.

Alix likes to climb up in the rocking chair and rock. She always says "ee aaa" (yeehaw!)

She also likes to read with Dad...Jeremy doesn't get a lot of reading done when they read together :)

Alix thinks she needs to be the center of Dad's attention

I definitely think Alix gets more reading done than Jeremy does when they read together

Alix and Brinley sharing Alix's toys. I don't think they'll both fit on that train at the same time for much longer

Happy Valentine's Day to Alix from cousin Alison!

Family picture on our anniversary. Happy 3rd anniversary to us! One baby and one on the way...we don't waste time do we :)

Alix's first haircut. There wasn't much to cut but her hair was so uneven so it was really just a hair trim

We bought Alix a toddler bed that she has yet to sleep in all night. She likes to play in it but when we put her to bed in it she ends up standing at the door crying. Good thing we have 3 months before the baby comes!

Grandma Wolfley made this cute dress for Alix for Christmas. I love it!

We went to Moab for Jeremy's great uncle's funeral and afterwards we went for a walk. This is Alix and Grandma throwing rocks into the Green river. I think it should be called the brown river. It was pretty murky!

The crazy Farnsworth clan we went to Moab with. Poor Alix, she doesn't stand a chance at being normal ;)

I know there are lots of pictures of Alix but she is a cutie pie!

One morning we went for a walk with Grandma, here is Alix all bundled up. It was cold

Today Alix and I were playing outside and she decided to ride the neighbors bike. Well, it wasn't such a good idea because she face planted it. Here are her battle wounds. Maybe next time she'll pick a smaller bike!

January 2010

2010-01-29T09:01:00.000-08:00

Here are pictures from January. We bought Jeremy new ski boots, I think before Christmas actually. He was fitting them to his new skis we bought him a few years ago that he hadn't tried out yet. Alix decided she was going to help him :) She is just so cute!

Can you see her crazy hair in the sunlight? She actually has some and it usually looks like that

Alix helping Dad. She really liked that screwdriver

Alix decided she needed to try out Jer's ski boots and skis!

Happy late birthday hunny! We went skiing for Jeremy's birthday with his mom, dad, and brother

This is a picture I drew of my friend Jenessa's daughter, Brinley, for Jenessa's birthday. The funny thing about this picture is before I finished it, Alix decided she wanted to help and drew on it three times. I love my daughter...

Brinley, Jenessa and Alix hanging out eating cheetohs!

Sledding

2009-12-30T11:05:00.000-08:00

Here is what we like to do for fun these days

Yes it's true!!!

2009-12-29T11:42:00.001-08:00

For those of you who don't know, we are going to have another baby! We are so excited! I am three months pregnant and our baby is due June 28th. Alix has no idea what's going on but Jeremy and I can't wait! Some people keep asking us when we are going to find out what the baby is and the answer is when it comes out!!! We are waiting to find out what this baby is too. My brother-in-law said according to his Chinese calendar this baby is a BOY!! After Becca has her baby in March that will be 8 granddaughters for my mom so I am not holding my breath for a boy but that is what we're hoping for!

Merry Christmas

2009-12-25T22:00:00.001-08:00

This is our little Christmas tree and our presents. Mostly Alix's but Jeremy and I had a good time setting up the blocks for her!

Me and my hunny

Alix and Daddy

Alix's awesome toy Jeremy bought for her. She loves it!

Grandma Bonnie and Alix

Alix got this cool car from Grandma. She can go backwards and forwards in it. She especially enjoyed running over the Christmas presents

Kelson picked out this hat and I think it is adorable!

My favorite picture of the day!

It's Christmas time, woohoo!

2009-12-22T20:44:00.000-08:00

We just got done sledding at the amphitheater hill, it was awesome! Hopefully next time we will get some pictures, it was too dark to get them tonight. But here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving and this winter season so far.

We spent Thanksgiving at my parents house. Alix spent her time terrorizing Emalia and pretending to talk on her cell phone. I think she watches me a little too closely haha she loves phones!

Pictures don't always turn out so great when you are the one in the picture and taking the picture. Oh well, you didn't really want to see the tops of our heads anyway.

Me and Alix. I think Alix was saying cheese. That is her new favorite word. Actually, I have story about cheese. Alix and I went shopping the other day and I bought her a bag of string cheese. She was carrying it all around the store and then she threw it out of the cart so I thought she forgot about it. We finished our shopping, I got her in the car and all the groceries and as soon as I got in the car Alix looks at me, holding her hand out and said "cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese." It was so adorable. She definitely remembered the cheese. She is such a smart little girl....sometimes too smart...
Jeremy and my dad's cousin Michele. She really likes Jeremy! They stopped by Thanksgiving day to visit. It was good to see her and her mom and dad, Cleo and Gary!
Alix really likes hats too. She is usually packing Jeremy's baseball hat around, when I took this picture she was hauling the santa hat around.

We shoveled snow early one morning...okay 9 isn't really early but we had just gotten out of bed so here is Alix eating raspberry filled powdered donuts in the snow. She was enjoying them immensely and she really loves the snow!

Jeremy buried Alix in the snow so she couldn't go anywhere. She likes to run up the sidewalk to the neighbors house every time we go outside!

Santa came to our ward Christmas party. Alix did really good on his lap. She didn't cry but she definitely didn't want to be there!

Well that is all for now. I will try to post more pictures right after Christmas, especially for you Kristie. Merry Christmas!!!!!!

2009-11-14T21:05:00.000-08:00

Most of you know Alix has been walking for three or four months now but my sister in Texas has not seen her walking yet and we promised her a video! So here ya go Kristie! She is quite the pro now. If I turn my back for two seconds she is gone so fast I have to run to catch up with her. She likes sneaking away ;)

One year picture

2009-10-31T16:53:00.001-07:00

Here is our little cheeser!

I definitely think she takes after her dad ;)

Happy Birthday Alix!

2009-10-11T08:05:00.000-07:00

Alix turned one yesterday, Happy Birthday Alix!

She is such a little cheeser!

We made two birthday cakes since we had lots of family coming to Alix's birthday party. I think they turned out pretty cute!

Alix and Dad hanging out in the kitchen

Alix and Emalia sliding down the slide. They were having so much fun. I can't believe how much Alix likes going down the slide. She usually turns around and goes down on her belly!

Sliding with Mom

Swinging with Dad

Alix playing in her birthday cake. It took her twenty minutes to figure out she could do more than pick the frosting off the cake and eat it

Alix and her friend Brinley. They are so cute!

Trip to Texas

2009-09-19T20:48:00.001-07:00

Last month Alix and I went to Houston, Texas to visit my sister Kristie and her family. We stayed for a week and had so much fun! Here are a few pictures from our trip, I have lots more but do not have time right now to post them all.

Alix splashing in the ocean. She loved to play in the water!

Witnie and Alix hanging out with Auntie Kristie. Witnie is a goof, she stuck her tongue out at me as I was taking the picture and Alix was ignoring me.

Witnie at Maddie's birthday party. She doesn't look happy at all about wearing a party hat

Sarah doesn't look happy about being in charge of two babies wearing party hats!

Alix was crawling around the living room with the tube around her waist. It was hilarious, I wish I would have video taped it

Three 'baby eagles' at the zoo. They had a good time playing in this nest.

Maddie and Sydnie were so nice to Alix and loved to push her around in her stroller at the zoo

Look at the size of the fatty fish! He is as big as Alix! He probably could have swallowed her whole!

On our way to see the temple Alix put her hat over her face and fell asleep, I think she is the cutest funniest little girl ever!

Maddie and Sydnie at the Houston Temple

Me and Kristie at the Temple

Me and the monkeys!

Kristie has a pool in her neighborhood and we went and swam a few times. Alix really loves the water and Maddie had a good time pushing her around in her tube

Sydnie the trouble maker. Isn't she adorable?

Maddie pulling Alix around at the pool. Alix wasn't very happy about it!

Pine Crest California

2009-08-04T07:00:00.000-07:00

Well it has been awhile since I posted so there are a lot of pictures! We went to Pine Crest, California for a little over a week and had so much fun! Jeremy's aunt and uncle let us stay at their cabin with them and it was only five minutes from the lake! We swam, kayaked, hiked, biked, played a TON of horse shoes, went to the outdoor movie theater and just hung out! We definitely needed a break like this and are looking forward to when we can go back!

We stopped at the Salt Flats on the way to California

Jeremy always carts Alix around on his shoulders, it is her favorite place to be!

My first attempt at riding a bike in like a year, in the highest gear going up hill. I ended up on the porch!

Alix's first time in a kayak. She really did have fun

Jer and I hiked around the lake, it was so beautiful!

Kelson, Grandpa, Jer and Alix climbing the big rocks

This is Walt and Vickie's cabin we stayed at, Jeremy's uncle and aunt

Alix's favorite thing to do was play in the dirt and eat it. As long as she was on the ground she was pretty content!

She is a funny funny girl!

We rode bikes quite a bit. This is when we rode from the ski resort back down to Walt's cabin.

My niece Kenadee. She is so cute and such a happy smiley little baby!

Jeremy and Alix kayaking and on the boat dock is Tyler, Amoree, Mike and Drew

This is everybody who spent the week at the cabin, except for Stephen. He had to leave early. There is Jeremy, Bonnie, Larry, Kelson, Mike, Amoree, Kenadee, Tyler, Vickie, Walt, Alix and Drew!

This is Drew, Jeremy's cousin. He came up from Lodi, California to hang out with us for the week. We had a blast with him!

Alix loves to wear Jeremy's hat! She always steals it and puts it on

All three boys on the kayak. I was amazed it didn't sink!

Jeremy and Alix in the kayak. Alix had a great time paddling around the lake with Jer

We stopped for a family picture on our way home. We were so sad to go but it was nice to come home!

Mormon Messages

2009-07-14T16:47:00.000-07:00

I saw on one of my friend's blogs a video link to Mormon Messages on youtube so I added a link on my blog just to the right of all my posts under the About Me section of all the Mormon Messages on youtube because I think they are so powerful. They are excerpts from talks given at General Conference by some of our General Authorities. They are made into little videos by the church and include pictures and music. They have some awesome advice and amazing testimonies so if you get a few minutes, check them out! I also have a link to their direct webpage on youtube where you can watch all of the Mormon Messages the church has put out. There is also a link for LDS radio, it's a station you can listen to online and they have Music and the Spoken Word, Church news, General Conference talks, BYU talks and a children's discussion as well. I think it is amazing and I love hearing the stories told and experiences and talks given. I like to listen to it while I am working at home and playing with Alix. It definitely brings a spirit of peace into our home and helps me be more patient with Alix!

Kellie and Andy's Wedding

2009-06-29T16:55:00.001-07:00

We are finally done with the wedding, woohoo! Kellie and Andy were married in the Salt Lake Temple Saturday June 27, 2009. The weather was so beautiful! Everything turned out so great. We managed to finish the waterfall the night before and had everything set up and ready to go.

Alix was playing on the ground at the temple and managed to find some dirt and bark to eat. She is such a silly girl. No matter where we go, if there is bark to be found she will find it and eat it!

Our cute little family at the temple

This is after Andy and Kellie came out of the temple

Grandma with all seven granddaughters. Emalia was not happy sitting on Grandma's lap and Sydnie would not wake up!

This is the waterfall we built in my parents backyard. It looks so great!

The happy couple. Aren't they cute ;)

Kellie and her favorite niece....okay one of her favorite nieces

Alix and Jeremy at the reception. Alix loves sitting on his shoulders

A few more waterfall pictures. We had to take a few because we all worked so hard on this thing!

Alix and her six week old cousin. Aren't they adorable!

I am already posting more pictures and it hasn't been a month! Wow, I am good ;)

2009-06-12T09:08:00.000-07:00

I just thought I'd put up a few pictures. We haven't really done anything super exciting lately, just been spending a lot of time at both of our parents house...mostly mine working on a waterfall!

This is my niece Kenadee. Here is proof that she actually does sleep once in a while!

Alix and Kelson playing with Grandpa. They love Grandpa!

Grandpa Larry built this horse for Kelson's 2nd birthday. It's so neat and the kids love it. Kelson is really good about giving Alix a turn on the horse.

This picture is for Grandpa Larry. You have officially made it on the blog! (Although I am pretty sure there are other pictures of you on here!) But this is definitely the best one!

Emalia and Alix playing in Grandma's flowers. Don't tell Grandma!

Emalia likes to play in the dirt.

Alix likes to eat the flowers

The wind was blowing pretty hard. If you look really close you can see Emalia's spit being blown by the wind. I think she's teething because she has a LOT of spit!

Alix and Dad hangin' out in the crib. Apparently the crib really can hold over 100 pounds! Aren't my babies so cute?

Alix crawling

2009-06-08T13:51:00.000-07:00

Well Alix kind of started crawling last week. I wanted to show Jeremy so I took Alix in the kitchen to show him. Probably not the best idea I've ever had, but we got a good laugh out of this!

New House and other fun stuff

2009-05-27T07:31:00.000-07:00

Okay I am finally adding new pictures and I have a million since I last posted but I just decided to put up a few of my favorites. We have been out and about doing tons of things! Here is a picture of our new house! We moved in about three weeks ago and so far we love it! We still don't have a yard...hopefully by the end of the summer we will! It is in Eagle Mountain and we have four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Hopefully we'll have a house warming party so everyone can come see our house but don't hold your breath!

We went to the Living Aquarium with my sisters and nieces and Levi

Emalia and Alix in a little rock cave. Alix is so white compared to Emalia!

Me, Alix and Analei at the Hogle Zoo. Don't go to the zoo when it is 90 degrees! Way too hot! But we still had a good time!

We took Alix on her first camping trip over Memorial weekend to the Green River in Wyoming. She loved it!

We ended up getting rained out Saturday night so Sunday morning we packed up and headed home. We did get to kayak the river on Saturday about seven miles. It was so much fun!

Jer and Alix on a bridge over the green river. There was a sign at the beginning of the bridge saying "Bridge Closed" so of course that meant we had to check it out

Alix is just so cute!

We took Alix swimming on Memorial Day with her cousin Kelson and her little friend Tate at the South Jordan Rec Center. Alix loves the water and her favorite thing was this jumper because she could stand up

Pictures

2009-04-27T10:08:00.000-07:00

Okay here are a few pictures just to let you know what we have been up to and how big and cute Alix is getting. She is now six months old, so crazy!

Kelson and his new baby sister Kenadee

Kenadee was actually born March 21, 2009 and she only weighed 6 lbs and a few ounces, I forgot! But she is so teeny and so cute!

Easter egg hunt with her girl cousins. Of course Alix goes for the easter eggs in Emalia's basket and not her own. She is such a grabby little girl!

Alix and Dad counting Easter eggs

Alix and Mom looking for Easter eggs

I realy like this picture!

My little sister Kellie getting proposed to by her boyfriend Andy. Congrats! They are getting married June 27

Alix eating a hot dog at Mandi's birthday BBQ. She loves anything we feed her!

Happy St. Patty's day! Okay a little late but I had to show off how cute Alix and Brinley are in their green outfits. You too Jeness!

Busy Busy

2009-04-19T09:52:00.001-07:00

Well it definitely has been way too long since I last updated my blog. Tons has happened since then! First we moved out of our apartment on April 21st and into Jeremy's parents basement. My sister-in-law Amoree had her baby that same day. A beautiful little girl named Kenadee. She was 7 lbs 12 oz I think. Two weeks later she was in the hospital with RSV because she couldn't breathe and she stayed there for about a week. Alix got RSV as well, but we just did breathing treatments at home now both kids are doing great!
Jeremy and I put an offer on a house in Eagle Mountain and it was accepted so we are closing at the end of the month. We are so excited! If all goes well, we'll close the 30th of April and be able to move in the beginning of May.
So we have been busy busy busy! Hopefully I will be able to get some pictures up soon!

Rice Cereal.....mmmmmhhh tasty!

2009-03-03T09:11:00.000-08:00

Last night we fed Alix rice cereal for the first time. She loved it! We decided since she was trying to eat everything and everyone it was time to take the next step.

Of course that still didn't stop her from trying to chew on my fingers between bites, but I guess that's better than screaming between bites, right Jackie? ;)

Isn't she just so stinkin cute? This is probably one of my favorite pictures of her

My little bro

2009-02-27T06:51:00.000-08:00

On Tuesday, my sister's and I went out to pack meeting because my brother, Levi, was getting his arrow of light and my mom was getting an award for wood badge. Way to go! Anyway, we were finishing up dinner when Becca and Bryon decided to leave so Bryon could finish up some homework. I sent Alix home with them so they could drop her off with Jeremy-who was at home doing some work. About twenty minutes later, I realized Becca had my keys to the car! Fortunately, Mom said she could take me, Jackie, Aneti, Analei and Emalia home. While we were headed out to the cars, Levi, my cute little brother, turned to me with concern on his face and asked, "Where is Alix?" Now, I just could not pass up this opportunity-especially since Jackie had already told him we sent her home with Becca so I said "Oh my gosh I totally forgot her. She's still in the gym. You better go get her!" That sweet little kid had a look of panic on his face as he started at a dead run towards the church to get Alix. We all busted up laughing and yelled to him to come back. When we told him we sent her home with Becca, he was so mad! He kept calling me mean the rest of the evening and told Mom he would be getting even with me! It probably was a little mean tricking him like that but he is such a sweetheart. He really loves his nieces!

Welcome to taco tuesday

2009-02-18T15:56:00.000-08:00

Grandma Farnsworth would be proud to know Alix has officially been incorporated into Taco Tuesday.

"I love tacos!"

Needless to say, Alix was very distraught when we took her taco away

Happy Valentines Day

2009-02-15T17:32:00.000-08:00

Alix loved Valentines day! Here she is ejoying a valentines day treat from Brinley, she loved the sucker and kept shoving the whole thing in her mouth. It was hilarious to watch!

The Man in my Life

2009-02-05T07:47:00.000-08:00

I don't remember doing this before so if I have, oh well!

The Man in my Life

What's your husband's name? Jeremy Ross Farnsworth

How long have you been married? 2 years

How long did you date? 1 year

How old is he? 28

Who eats more sweets? Definitely me

Who said "I Love You" first? He did

Who is taller? Jeremy is 5' 9 and 3/4" I am only 5' 8"

Who is smarter? Jeremy is for sure smarter than me!

Who does the laundry? I do unless the bed is covered with clean clothes that need to be put away and Jeremy is ready for bed...then he helps me fold them!

Who pays the bills? Well...Jeremy makes the money and I make sure all the bills get paid

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Hmmm.........I guess it depends which direction you are looking at the bed...I suppose we both do!

Does he snore? Only when he is really really tired or has a stuffy nose

What does he do in his spare time? Plays board games, xbox, computer games, but most of his spare time is spent hanging out with me and Alix

Who mows the lawn? We don't have any lawn to mow, we live in an apartment! I probably would because I like mowing the lawn

What is his favorite candy bar? He likes chewy candy better than candy bars but if he does eat a candy bar it is probably snickers???

Who cooks dinner? I do but Jeremy is really good to help out. I think he is a better cook than I am

Who drives? It depends if Jeremy wants to read the rules to a new game we got, then I definitely drive. If not, he does!

Who is the first to say they are wrong? Usually me because usually I am wrong!

Who kissed who first? Jeremy for sure! ;)

Who asked who out first? Jeremy asked me out first...I think he knew I really wanted to go out with him

Who wears the pants? We both wear pants hahaha okay for real I think neither one of us because usually we agree on the same things and if we don't, it's okay, we always work it out

Does he say he loves you every day? About ten times a day!

If you haven't done this yet, I think you should, it's kinda fun to think about the answers to these questions...some of them are harder than they look!

Three months old and as cute as ever!

2009-01-21T07:53:00.000-08:00

"Check out my sweet sunglasses!"

"Look Mom, I can hold my head up!"

"Are you still looking?"

"Oh shoot...I was doing so good!"

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

2009-01-12T07:27:00.000-08:00

It was Jeremy's birthday on the 3rd of January so we went skiing!

This is us on one of the ski lifts. It got so blasted cold going up those, I think by noon or one it was only 5 or 10 degrees up there, brrrh!

We went skiing for Larry's (Jeremy's Dad) birthday since his was the 30th of December. This is Jeremy, Bob Drennan, Larry, Tyler and Mike

Lunchtime! My favorite part!

Jeremy is an awesome skiier! I wanted to get a video of him going off some jumps but it was too cold for me to take my hands out of my gloves to do that!

After skiing we went to Bonnie and Larry's house for dinner and presents. Doesn't Jeremy's hair look awesome? ;) I made him a plate from Alix that has her footprints on it

christmas

2009-01-08T07:06:00.000-08:00

We had a busy Christmas this year! My sister Kristie and her family drove to Utah from Texas so we had all the grandkids together for the first time! We took them to see Santa first

Then we all made gingerbread houses. I have a couple of hams for nieces! They are so funny!

Jeremy, Alix and I went to our good friend's wedding, Kathrine. This was the first wedding Alix got to go to! We manned the chocolate fountain that night at the reception and boy was it tasty!

On Christmas Eve all the granddaughters got to open one present and they all got cute princess pajamas. The smallest size they had was 12 months but surprisingly enough, they fit Alix perfectly!

Merry Christmas! On Christmas morning we opened our presents at our apartment then went out to my mom and dad's to open presents there. It was a blizzard!

The abominable snowman! Dad plowed the lane for us with the tractor, he was caked with snow by the time he was done!

Princess jammies!

Mom made new matching dresses for all the granddaughters. She worked so hard and had them all done but Alix's! But they sure are cute!

It was so sad to say goodbye to Kristie, Mark, Maddie and Sydnie but we had so much fun with them!

And this is Alix and her cousin Kelson. He is 20 months old and he just loves Alix! They are both cuties!

This year and last

2009-01-02T09:08:00.000-08:00

I finally downloaded pictures from last year's Christmas from an old camera. So this was last year...

And this is this year. Isn't it crazy how time just flies by and how different things are in the space of a year?

Last year it was just me and Jeremy, this year we have the cutest little girl ever! Last year Mom and Dad had four granddaughters, this year they have six with another grandkid on the way! (Kristie, not me!) Kellie was still in high school and living at home, now she is up at college and there are only two kids left at home. Who knew that would happen so quick!

Well, we are very thankful for our family and for all the blessings we have in our lives. We have more than we need and we are so grateful! Here's to another great year! Happy New Year everybody!

I thought this looked fun!

Awhile ago Jeremy set me up my own website in hopes we could get a business going for my artwork. The website turned out great, but it never really went anywhere. So i decided to start a blog for all of my artwork so if you get a chance, check out my blog. I am going to be posting artwork on there. There is also a link to my website Jer set up for me as well. If you want a picture drawn or know anybody that does, let me know!

Firsts for Alix

2008-12-09T19:51:00.000-08:00

Alix has had a lot of firsts the last few weeks. This is her first trip to Logan to visit Auntie Kellie. She slept most of the time!

This is Alix's first football game party...BYU vs UofU...good thing she picked the right team to cheer for! She slept most of the time

And this is Alix's first birthday party with her friend Brinley. Jenessa, Brinley's mom, got a great picture of her smiling. And of course, she slept the whole time, are you surprised???

a little behind

2008-12-02T12:36:00.000-08:00

okay it's been awhile since i put up any pictures and I've got so many new ones and no time! So I'll start with one! This Alix at one month! She is getting so big and so cute, we just love her to pieces!

Cute baby!

2008-11-12T15:48:00.001-08:00

I took Alix a week or two ago to get her pictures taken...and I finally got them back! Here is just one of them. She was kind of out of it when we took her pictures. Well, for a two and a half week old I guess they didn't turn out too bad!

This is Alix with her cousin Emalia-she is four months old

One month old!

2008-11-11T12:17:00.001-08:00

Well our baby girl is one month old...how crazy is that! It seems hard to believe we have a daughter that old already-it feels like we just got her! But at the same time, it feels like we have had her forever! I took her to get her pictures yesterday and as soon as I got her all dressed up and ready to go she pooped and it leaked all over her onesie! So I had to change her. Then as soon as we got home, I changed her diaper and she had leaked all over her onesie again! It is time to move up to size one diapers for good!

She is pretty darn cute if I do say so myself!

She loves to smile, she is just such a happy baby!

Halloween pictures and more!

2008-11-06T08:22:00.000-08:00

Alix was a bumble bee for halloween and she was an angry-but cute- little bee!

Here is my happy smiley baby. She has some cheesy smiles!

This smile was right after she spit up all over my shirt...she was definitely happy!

Her jeans are a bit too big for her but i love babies in blue jeans, they are just so cute!

The week before Halloween Alix and I went to Gardner village with Amoree, Kelson, Marissa and Charlotte. We had a lot of fun! Alix slept the whole time and Charlotte and Kelson ran all over the place! They liked looking at the witches and especially liked the ducks in the pond!

Kelson and Charlotte....this was the only picture I could get with both of them looking at the camera!

More pictures of the munchkin!

2008-10-24T07:59:00.000-07:00

Well it's been a few days since I posted any pictures of Alix...my computer crashed and has yet to be fixed so I finally got on Jeremy's computer today. Our baby girl is two weeks old today...that is so crazy to me! I guess it'll be even crazier when she is a year old! Anyway, I wanted to put some more pictures of her up kuz I think she's so stinkin' cute!

Alix loves her daddy!

...and her mommy!

Our happy smiley baby!

She was in a really good mood and kept smiling so I kept taking pictures!

Alix likes to sleep on her side and smoosh her face, it's so cute!

My little gamers!

Alix with Grandpa and Grandma Wolfley

This is Alix with her cousins Aneti,

Analei,

...and Emalia! She is only three months older than Alix

Alix, aunt Amoree and Kelson-Alix's one and only boy cousin! Look at his cheesy smile, he's adorable!

This is Brinley, she's a cutie! Hopefully these two will grow up to be friends!

Sleepy baby!

2008-10-15T07:46:00.000-07:00

Our baby girl sure likes to sleep!

This is her around noon...

This is her around seven or eight p.m....

And this is her at 11:30 p.m....wide awake! We're going to have to work on her sleeping schedule so it matches mom and dad's a little better ;)

Who does Alix look like...Jess or Jer?

2008-10-14T13:02:00.000-07:00

I think Jeremy comes up with all the good ideas! He thought it would be fun to post our baby pictures and see who everybody thinks Alix looks like. I have yet to decide who she looks like more, I think I change my mind everyday! But at least she is a cutie! Let us know what you think!

Welcome Home

2008-10-13T06:53:00.000-07:00

Here is our cute family of three! We are so excited to have Alix in our lives

Here is our sweet baby girl...Jeremy is definitely wrapped around her little finger

Alix Macady

2008-10-11T13:08:00.000-07:00

Here she is! Weighing in at a chubby 8 lbs. 15 oz and 21 in. long...

Alix Macady Farnsworth

We came in on Thursday and 7:00 pm and and she was born at 5:34, keeping Mom and Dad up all night. Poor little girl's head was all stretched out because she took SOOOO long getting out. Jess said she looked like one of the aliens from the new Indiana Jones. Nurses and doctors were a little worried because Jess was running a temperature of 104 through the latter half of delivery and Alix's little heart was just racing. Both are doing much better now and the little girl is as healthy as can be.

Fortunately for her though, the swelling has really come down and she is looking a lot better. She's so cute, though I will have to do something with all of the pink stuff that keeps showing up! I don't know what I'm going to do with a little girl, but I guess I'll figure it out.

~Jeremy

The Day Before

2008-10-08T21:12:00.000-07:00

So this is me at 40 weeks and 5 days. Now that we've taken belly pictures (again) the baby should come tomorrow, right? (sigh) probably not. At least the end is in sight. If no baby comes by friday, they will induce me, woohoo!!! That means only two more days of pregnancy. Not that I have had much to complain about, but does there really look like there is a lot of room? There's not! Anyway, since we don't know if our baby is a girl or a boy...which by the way was the most fun and exciting part of being pregnant-not knowing!!..I was wondering what everybody thinks our baby will be...boy or girl! I'll keep mine and Jeremy's opinions to ourselves so nobody is biased! Next time I check our blog....(besides tomorrow) we should be parents!!!!

No baby yet!

2008-10-02T09:23:00.001-07:00

Well for anybody that is wondering....my due date is tomorrow and no I still have not had my baby yet! It seems to be a stubborn little thing, enjoying it's long days and even longer nights just hanging out upside down in my belly! I'll probably end up being induced next week! Oh well, I guess I shoud just enjoy this time to sleep in and do whatever I want before this baby comes because after that I am sure I will have my hands full!

This is us!

On Saturday, Jeremy and I went to a birthday party at the Salomon Center in Ogden and went to the flowrider. It's surfing indoors and it was way sweet! I didn't get to go on it but Jer did and he had so much fun! Here are some videos we got, I think I had just as much fun watching people crash and Jeremy did riding the flowrider! It was hilarious!

Eight and a half months pregnant!

2008-09-17T16:36:00.000-07:00

So this is me....eight and a half months pregnant. Jackie took this picture of my belly and I look huge! I think it was just a bad angle ;)

So hopefully now that we have taken a few belly pictures the baby will come!

2008-09-04T07:10:00.000-07:00

We finally cleaned out our extra bedroom, we had a lot of junk in it! It is now ready to go, just waiting for our cute little baby to get here. It's my favorite room in the house!

Originally, we were going to do a jungle animal theme but Jeremy saw these farm animals at Burlington Coat Factory and had to have them! They are pretty darn cute ;)

Jeremy picked out the wall hangings and I picked out the wallpaper!

Our Happy Day!!!

2008-08-10T08:03:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and I went to the Temple last Saturday, August 2nd and were sealed together. It was the best day of our lives! It was amazing and a huge blessing to know that we for sure will be together forever now.

Joe, Jackie, Jess, Jer, Bryon and Becca

It was fun having my sisters there who have been married in the temple there with us along with Mom and Dad, we missed you Kristie! We'll have to go when you come visit next!

We had Larry take a picture with us. His mom left before we got out of the temple, so sad, I wanted a picture with her!

We are so happy!

The baby was kicking away during pictures, the little one is so happy we are sealed as a family now!

This is probably my favorite picture. The temple was so beautiful that day

Pictures from our Star Valley Trip

2008-08-01T15:10:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures from our yearly Star Valley trip. They are mostly of my nieces since I went up a few days earlier with my sister and by the time Jeremy came up, I had misplaced the camera :( so no pictures of us together darn it! But I did get some pretty cute ones of the girls!

Maddie and Sydnie stopped fighting just long enough to smile for the picture!

Sydnie is definitely a mama's girl

Maddie and Aneti throwing rocks in Tincup Creek

The girls loved that old play truck! We couldn't get them out of it!

Sydnie has the cutest cheesy smile ever!

2008-05-14T19:52:00.001-07:00

Well, I have discovered that I have no idea how to create or update a blog-especially my own. So, here is my first attempt at trying to keep everyone posted on what is going on in our crazy lives! We'll see if I can manage to upload some photos! This is just for you, Kristie, by-the-way. And I am doing this all on my own, no genius husband to help me out. He is not into this kind of thing. (Edit - Your genius husband helped! Without his contribution this project would have been doomed to utter failure! -jrf)

Hello!
