Wallace Family

1 year old

2013-02-27T20:52:00.001-07:00

Man a year has gone by its so crazy!! Here is a year in review!

First time seeing him. It was amazing and so unexpected cause I have been told I might never have children.

After 9 months, being on bed rest for a month of it and 21 hours of labor he finally arrived. I told Ben that I would not like him and that it wasn't going to be worth it, then he came out and I cried and said he is so beautiful I love him and Ben laughed.

First family picture!

Kissing his arm at home on the light

Finally off the light!!!

So cute sleeping! He would only sleep in his bouncer or being held for the first 2 months of his life.

First night sleeping alone without the bouncer!!

First bite of real food. He didnt know what to think and now he loves food.

Being silly with Grandma and Dad

First road trip and of course he slept the entire way.

Birthday!

Cake at his birthday

Being sad

At 3 weeks he started rolling over, 6 months he was crawling and could say mom and dad, 7 months he got a tooth , 9 and a half months he was walking. Now he runs all over, says mom, dad, no, dog, kitty, baby, yes, and whats that. I cant wait to see what the next year will bring!

2012-04-29T15:58:00.000-06:00

Well as you can tell when I was pregnant I made lots of posts and never put them on the blog because I wanted to put pictures but I just decided to post them any ways so sorry that it took me so long to do it!!

Christmas 2012

2012-04-29T15:56:00.002-06:00

So for Christmas this year we got a new mattress it is amazing!! I was having a hard time sleeping because I am pregnant and our bed was horrible so when we got this mattress it was heaven I dont think I have ever slept this good (even before I was pregnant)!!

I got Ben a work coat and a new hat because his old ones of both need to be throwen away! Ben got me a tray for breakfast in bed with legs, also he got me season 5 of One Tree Hill (I love that show) and a book called House Rules.

Then from every one else we got: Mom and Dad Lloyd gave us a printer, cloths, water bottles that filter the water, a boppy pillow for Lucas that my mom made a cover for that matches the blanket that she made for him, cloths for Lucas and two movies Lair, Lair and Ice Age 3.

Mom and Dad Staker got us tuns of board games, candy, and other misc. things.

Dad Wallace got me a bundt cake pan, two recipe books, and candy. He got Ben discs for disc golfing, a book and for both of us we got books, and money.

Lindsey got us books for Lucas. Becky and Andrew got us a baby first aid kit and doggy slippers that are way cute.
My sister Jan had us for Christmas and she made Lucas a spiderman thing to keep him warm and she got us a crib! I was way excited because I didnt know if we would be able to buy one, so it was awsome that she got us one.

Then we drew my sister Liz's name for christmas and we got them a card table and for her kid Sariah we got her a thing to make different shaped cookies, and her son Sam we got Lego's.

My parents we got them a blanket holder and blanket.

We couldnt afford to get anyone else presents cause we had an unexpected bill come up and didnt have anymore money! But it was a great christmas this year!!

Baby showers

2012-04-29T15:56:00.000-06:00

This daiper cake is from my work party!!

I had lots of showers and Lucas is now almost 3 months and we have not bought diapers, cloths, or wipes so it was worth it. I didnt really get any pictures but they were all fun!

New Years 2012

2012-04-29T15:55:00.001-06:00

So exciting

2011-09-16T12:45:00.000-06:00

So I am now 18 weeks (tomorrow). Our last doctors appointment was on August 30. When we went in I was so excited to hear the heart beat but they couldnt find it. I have never seen a doctor look so worried. Then we went to the ultisound round and walla the baby is still there. A little scarry for a while but I knew everything was great!! But then during this ultrasound we found out that we are having a boy. The doctor even said that sometimes she doesnt know but this was a boy. So its not a girl like we wanted but I am still so excited that we know.

School

2011-06-04T13:21:00.000-06:00

I started school on May 4. I am going to Eagle gate College for Personal Training. I know I will do great but its always scarry going and doing something comparied to just talking about it.

So far the classes have been so great. I love all of my teachers and the people who are in my program. The only class I am worried about it Anatomy but I have taken it before so I will be fine.

My birthday

2011-03-28T21:57:00.001-06:00

It was my birthday on March 16! I am now 23 its weird to look back on the things I thought I wanted to do before I turned this age when I was a teenager. I know that I want to have kids and be done with school and already have a house. But I am so glade I havent done any of these things yet (except be done with school)! Time goes by to fast and you never realize until its already gone by.

Well anyways for my birthday this year my husband wanted to surpise me and we went away to Wendover! I didnt even gabble but it was nice to be able to get away from work and our house. I thought it was just going to be us but on my birthday my best friends Kobly and Ciara showed up. It was such a surpise and I was so excited to see them there!!

This is the only picture I took while there and its as we are coming home and I thought it looked like the mountain was floating!

Ben couldnt get me my present on my birthday because we were out of town but we got it and then we painted it and hung it tonight!!

Its the solar system I have been wanting one for ever!! And Ben got one for me and I loved that we could paint it our selves!!

First time doing fondent

2011-03-28T21:54:00.000-06:00

I have always wanted to try making cakes and doing fondent iceing. So in late Feb I decided to. This time around it wasnt very good because I used granulated sugar instead of powedered sugar, but either way it tasted pretty good.

All of these are pretty obvious!!

Projects

2011-02-13T09:43:00.000-07:00

I have been working on a couple of projects and one of them is making a rug by doing latch hooking its going to be a big rug and it takes a lot of time but this is what it looks like so far!

Valentines Day

2011-02-13T09:39:00.000-07:00

I love Valentines Day it is one of my favorite holidays only because that means spring is soon coming!! I also love that everything is pink, red, white and black those are my favorite colors. I was so sad to take down the Christmas window painting cause they were so good but these are my Valentines Day window paintings:

A cute heart person

A bear floating away by heart ballons

2 hearts with an arrow through them

I frog with hearts in his eyes

We celebrated valentines day early this year and we went to Village in to eat. Then we got each other presents, I got Ben a fondue set with cinnamon bears chocolate and marshmellows, and Ben got me a new Dvd player it was way needed we could watch dvds with our old Dvd player because we used it to much

This year Christmas has been a little different. We have more money than we usually do so we got Rock Band 3. We even got each other presents so it was a good one this year. I did some more window paintings that turned out so good. This is them:

Candy Cane

Turtle sleding down hill

A man making a snow angel

Snow man with snow falling

Santa bringing toys

The North Pole but I took the picture on the wrong side

Man in a snow ball

Kid eating snow

I got Ben a train set, he has been wanting one for a while but he hasnt wanted to buy one cause he cant really set it up cause we move a lot. Ben got me two fairies for my collection of fairies and they are my first ones so that was way exciting, even though I have to put one away because it is a Christmas fairy. I got a lot of craft stuff to do fun things with candy gift cards books a really cute wallet. Ben got a lego book, cloths, candy, ice fishing poles, and other stuff.

We got my parents a fire pit for out side. Then we got Bens mom salt and pepper shakers ones hippies kissing and the other one is monkeys hanging from a tree, we then got James some movie, and Bens dad a book.

We miss you Cole

2011-01-06T11:34:00.000-07:00

November 29 started out as a great day. I had the day off and so did Ben so we got to hang out all day. We didnt do anything special just hung around the house. Later that night I went and baby sat my nephew Landon. After that we went to our friends Dave and Karens house to play some games. Right before we got there we got a call from my sister-in-law Becky. Ben picked up the phone and I instantly knew that something was wrong, his face went all white and his mouth was open is shock. When he got off the phone he told me that Cole his sister Lindseys husband had past away that day.
Later that night we went and seen his family and hung out there everyday for about a week with all of my husbands siblings and his parents.
It is a horriable loss and I just want to end this by saying this. We all love you Cole and hope that you have found peace and love where you are now, we will miss you!!

Thanksgiving

2011-01-06T11:26:00.001-07:00

I love thanksgiving and this year we had a chance to go to both sides of the family. My family did there thanksgiving on Wed. the 24th. I made 2 pumpkin pies and a pecan pie. We got to my parents at 2ish and helped set up then everyone came and we had turkey and ham and then all the other good stuff then watched movies, played games, and watched football. It was lots of fun!!!

This is the two pumpkin pies.

Then I had to work on Thanksgiving until 3 pm so I couldnt go to Bens dads house but I made him a carmel pecan cheese cake and let him also have some of the pecan pie. I did this because a couple of years ago we picked up Bens dad to go to Thanksgiving and he freaked out that we didnt have pecan pie so we had to stop on the way and pick one up.

This is the pecan pie

This is the pecan pie with whip cream on top!!

Then after work we went to Bens mom and step dads house. I made an apple pie for this one.

This is the apple pie!

Food

2010-11-20T19:55:00.000-07:00

I have been trying this make everything from scratch thing. I have been doing it for 2 weeks now. I have made Lasagna, ribs, a noodle salad, stuffed green peppers, meatloaf, taco soup, rosemary chicken noodle soup, and pizza. I am very proud of this pizza because it is my first dough that I have ever made. So it was my first time ever using yeast so I think it turned out pretty dang good. I also made the sauce for this pizza. Then on my half I have pepperonis, green peppers and olives; on Bens half has pepperonis, anchovies, and olives. I will be posting more of my cooking adventures so hopefully they will all be good stories and not bad ones.
