Guess what?!

I'm pregnant! Me and Jory are so excited! I am 11 weeks today and I'm due January 17. I haven't really been sick at all, which is really nice. Mostly just tired...all the time, but I can handle that. We have already been to the doctor twice in 3 weeks and we're going again on Thursday to talk to the doctor about the cerclage I'm getting on July 15th. A cerclage is just a stitch around the cervix, so I won't have the same problems as before. They said it's a pretty easy and common surgery, so I'm not too scared. It's better to have the surgery then be worried the whole time. Anyway, we are really excited and can't wait to have a little baby.

This is at 8 weeks pregnant.

June Activities

Well June is half way over and we have done a lot of things, but I have been a slacker at blogging. At the beginning of June we had a Rhoton family reunion. Of course I took zero pictures, but we did take family pictures because every single person in Jory's family was there. That's the first time that's happened since we've been married.




(They made us do that!)

After the reunion we went to Mesa for a few days for my birthday. While we were there we saw "Up" in 3-D. It was really good, but those glasses start hurting after a while!


Last weekend our ward had a youth trip to St. George, Utah. We went because Jory is in the YM's presidency. We did baptism's for the dead at the St. George temple. We met up with another ward in St. George and they treated us so well! We went and saw Brigham Young's winter house and also Jacob Hamblin's house. Jory was really excited to see Jacob Hamblin's house because he is related to him. That night we went to Pine Valley, which is the prettiest place in the world (at least one of them). We stayed at ward member's "cabins," that were really houses. We went and saw the oldest LDS church still in use and had a devotional there. The next day we went on a hike, went swimming and had a testimony meeting. Then on Sunday all of the youth in our ward sang "I am a Child of God" in Navajo in the St. George ward's sacrament meeting. It was a long trip, but a lot of fun. Of course, I only took one picture.

Derek Graduated!

Derek graduated last Friday. so we made a quick trip to Thatcher. We also went to the lake. So we had a lot of fun.




Here's a picture from Derek's 8th grade graduation. Look how much he's changed! Haha We've all changed a lot!


Here's a picture with some of my friends when I graduated 4 years ago. I can't believe it's been so long!

WebCam Fun

I just remembered we had a web cam on our laptop that has the crazy things you can do to a picture. When we first got it we were at my parents house and my brothers and sisters loved it...mostly brothers. Chad really loved it and took tons of pictures. Here are just a few.

Two Chads

They make me laugh. Now I kind of miss them. Luckily, I get to see them in 3 days. Derek is graduating high school. I can't believe it. He doesn't seem old enough. Soon he'll be going on a mission! Man, I feel old!

Happy Birthday Rocki!

Happy Birthday Little Rock! Rocki turns 11 today! She's getting old...but still acts like the baby! When I was her age I was taking care of Chad, who was a little baby because my mom was in the hospital with Rocki. We love you Rocki! Have a good day!

Dani's Reception Week

I got to spend a whole week in Thatcher, so during the week I:

Helped Derek ask Sonora Thatcher to prom



The sign says: Sonora, I'd be a LUCKY DUCK if you went to Prom with me.


Watched Rocki's track meet



Convinced Rocki to get her hair cut.


I might just get my hair cut like that!


Babysat Daya for 2 days. Her mom, Whitney was in the hospital with her new baby. We had a fun time with Daya and were sad to see her go home! My favorite story is when me, Jory and Daya went to the eye doctor. Jory had an appointment so me and Daya went to Wal-Mart. As soon as we were outside and Daya noticed Jory wasn't there she said, "HEY! Jor, come on! Jor, Jor, Jor." I had to convince her that we would come back for him, but she had a hard time leaving him.


And decorated the church for Dani and Bryce's reception. This was my contribution, with help from Dani's in-laws.











I love Chad in this picture.


Green Blue Coconut Slush


Me and Allison. I love her.


Poor Bryce got shoulder surgery on Wednesday, so I'm sure he was in pain.


I had a fun time in Thatcher, but it sure is nice to be home.

Dani's MARRIED!

Dani was married yesterday! I can't believe it. I'm excited to have a married sister. I'm excited to talk to her, but they're a little busy right now! Haha.



Isn't she pretty?


All the kids




Look familiar?
