Holy Cow I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted on here! Well a lot has happened where do I begin! So let me start with Glenn. Glenn was excepted into two dental schools like i posted before, Case and ( USN) Now called Roseman University. We prayed about it and choose to stay here in UTAH!!!! He is always busy with school and staying on top of his studies. Each test he has to pass with a 90% or higher and he has done so. I'm so very proud of him.
Carter is in Preschool and loves it. He can count to 15 now all by himself. He can recognize certain letters and knows all his shapes and colors. He also danced last year in the Nutcracker. He did such a cute job as a peppermint.
Kasen is almost 18 months he can say words and is recognizing when he goes to the bath room if i could only teach him to tell me before he goes. He walks well he runs now and is growing so fast.
Me I've lost over 35 lbs and feel great. I'm still home with the kiddos and love it. I have meet some great friends threw Glenn's schooling and love spending time with them. I'm trying to finish and start new projects so i can stay busy with other stuff other then kids and housework!
Chance ( our dog ) is now almost 6 months old and looks like a adult dog not a puppy!
We also bought a house and i love not having to live in apt it feels great having a home again.
I'll post picture of things later

Christmas Letter

2010-12-16T15:52:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas
We have had such a fun year full of joyous celebrations. The year started off with Glenn taking the DAT ( Dental Admissions Test )!! We also found out I was pregnant. The family was able to travel with some good friends to California we were able to visit San Diego Zoo, Sea World and Mission Beach. Carter turned 3. His little personality is so such a joy to have around and listen to things he comes up with. Carter is such a big help with Kasen. Glenn sent out his applications to several Dental schools. Kasen was born in August six weeks early and stayed in the NICU for two weeks. What a blessing he is to our little family. He now is 4 months and weighs 14 pounds. Glenn went to three schools Interviews and is on the waiting list for all three. Amber has been busy with the kids and loving being a stay at home mom. We Sure have been blessed this year. We hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thoughts

2010-11-10T11:47:00.000-08:00

So as of nov 1 glenn and i have challenged ourselves to read the book of morman by the end of the year! I know it sounds crazy but we are reading it by our selfes and we read 10 pages a day kinda crazy but i'm understanding them and loving it!! Well the reason i'm writing, now that my parents are devirced i feel like things have totally changed i know this sounds werid but they have. My dad has his new family and well i still dont know were i fit in his life. My mom is still upset at the world and doesnt seem to want to change and be apart of our lives. So i wonder why this happended! But all i know is this challange glenn has made has made a change in my life all ready i feel so much calmer about things. No more questioning things but answers and comfert! Thanks glenn for you help with this and all your love!! I'm so glad he is apart of my life and i have two sweet and cute little ones as well... Sorry for venting and i hope this makes sense i'm not good at writing and expressing my feelings down.

1. LACK OF SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Boobs get HUGE!!!!!!
3. Feel Lazy ( Eat, Sleep, Feed Kasen, get ready for the day by 5 lol or sooner )
4. Why is the house a mess
5. Shopping carts are not made for carseats. ( how do you shop with them in the shopping carts )
6. HOllY Cow you diaper needs to be changed again. Thats the 60 today. Yep you go threw a lot of dirty diapers.
7. Crap what did i eat to make you throw up.

9. Why do i still look fat? will i ever look hot again??
10. Do both the kids feel loved by us??

Interviews

2010-09-15T17:06:00.001-07:00

So i thought i would update you on glenn's schooling. He is done with his bach. And has three yes count them three interviews so far. Which is great. I'm so proud of him. It is kind of weird to think that we are a finally progressing in our lives. Its a great feeling too. Hopefully he will get more interviews and we will be able to pick were we want to go :)

He is Here!!!

2010-09-15T16:30:00.000-07:00

So I know im late on this but just in case you haven't heard.Glenn and I were all ready for bed and all the sudden I felt some water running down my legs. Yep you guessed it my water broke again. I was in the hospital for two days with some contractions that I wasn't feeling. Saturday morning came around and I was feeling them.So they took in me in for the c-section. Kasen was born 6 weeks early on Aug 7, 2010. He weighed 5 lbs 10 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He was in the NICU for 16 days and progressed quickly. Now he weighs 8 lbs and is 21 inches long. He is doing great.

So as of June 3, 2010 Glenn's Dental apps have been sumbitted.We worked on a lot of stuff the night before to make sure things were in order to go. Just filled out the sup apps, sent them off.

I'm praying that they are after the baby comes and not before or around the time he is ready to come.

Night Time Potty Training!!

2010-04-20T08:28:00.000-07:00

Here I go, wish me luck. We would like to have Carter all night time potty trained before the baby comes so we only have one in diapers. We tried it last night and he did his thing right before he woke up this morning. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to approach this? I'm scared cause when i tried to train him when i potty trained him i felt like i was changing his sheets everyday and getting tired of smelling pee in the morning.

Things that are different

2010-04-19T08:29:00.000-07:00

I thought i would make a list of the things i noticed differently with this pregnancy.

1. Well the most noticeable was how much I've been throwing up. A LOT!!!!! Still to this day i can guarantee and episode once a week. I'm mean really come on I'm almost 20 weeks. I was hoping this part would go away oh well.

2.Cant eat fruit, which makes me sad every freaking time i try i have an episode. I LOVE FRUIT and i cant eat it or drink it. Ugh

3. So far I have only gained 4 pounds. Sweet!!! This far along with Carter i felt like i had gained 15-20.

4.Walking a ton more i walk about 2-3 miles once a day :)

5. Heartburn

So far that is it. No cravings or anything like that but if i think of anything I will add :)

Preisthood

2009-10-17T21:22:00.000-07:00

Durning the preisthood session Amy Carter and I went to gardner village and had so much fun looking at shops. I ran into an old friend Jenn Spencer it was so nice to see her. Carter saw the ponies on the way in and I told him if he was good that I would let him ride one. Well I thought that he did so well at the fair ok let him ride one. Well they didnt have any straps to hold the kids on so i was kinda scared about it but he was doing ok untill the horse kept moving his head around and knocked carter right off the hourse. I was soooo scared by the time i got to him his shoe was off so i know the pony stepped on his foot, i looked at it and nothing was wrong. However the last couple of weeks all i have heard is " mom I fell off the pony " I really dont think i'm ever going to live that one down. LOL Other then that we had a fun night :)

Cali Trip

2009-10-17T20:27:00.000-07:00

We were able to go to Cali again this year. It was so much fun. We stayed a night in Vegas and then went to Cali the next day. It made the trip seem a lot more relaxed that way. Carter loved meeting all the characters but his fav was Woody he loves that guy. His face when he saw him was priceless. I would have to say his fav ride was Nemo. However he loved to ride the carousel, we had to ride it like 5 or so times he had to ride the horse. LoL. Funny kid. We were able to visit the beach twice so that was nice to. If i could live there i would. I love the beach. Oh speeking of beach carter had to chase the birds into the water. I have it on video so funny. I dont know why but he loves chasing them.
Our trip home was a long trip. We had a tire blow out, another tire expand. Lets just say we left Mon 8am and didnt get back untill tus at 5 am. It was fun and worth the headache we loved every min of it. Here is some fun photos.

Lagoon!!!!

2009-09-09T09:55:00.000-07:00

In August we were able to go to Lagoon with Glenn's brother Gary and his family. It was a lot of fun. Glenn and I didn't think that Carter would love it as much as he did. He was sooooo excited to get on every ride he could. Carter hated waiting in lines. Here are some fun pictures of the day.

Girls Camp

2009-08-21T09:54:00.000-07:00

I was put into young womens a little while ago as advisor to the beehives.They had girls camp a couple of weeks ago. I was so lucky to go but also to have my little family come up as well. They had called to ask if Glenn would go up so they would have some presthood holders. It was really fun to have him there. The girls loved Carter, and he loved the girls. I went back up a couple of nights later and they were asking about Carter and Glenn and where they were. Thanks for the fun girls :)

2009-07-20T20:51:00.000-07:00

After i had this misscarry i have been thinking alot about things. Well these past couple of months havent been as stressfull. I noticed that my pants were starting to hang off me.

A peice of good news i guess..:)

Untill finally we said lets get going by the time we got the boat out of the water it started to rain really hard. Here are some cool pic of the storm coming in. You will also see some pictures of Carter playing with the fishing pools. He loves to go fishing but he loves to go fishing on the boat more. Every time he sees a boat he has to let us know "MOM SEE BOAT" even if its driving past one. LOL

Not doing alot of blogging um i

2009-07-20T19:06:00.000-07:00

So after i have had the whole misscarry i noticed that i havent been on top of my game. So as of June. Glenn and I had our 4th Wedding anni. Each year we one of us plans something to do for the big day and this year happened to be Glenn. Let me just tell you he is such a stinker. I kept asking him what are plans were and he kept telling me that he had time to plan and it would be a dinner or something like that. I didnt care I was ok, then the week before he was like what its next week, Oh well i guess our plans have to change then. I was like what plans?? Well the day before our anni. Glenn said we needed to pack we were going on a trip. Trip what trip?? And where are we going??? He then broke down and told me we were going to see ANNIE in St. George and our friend Coreys parents ( Michelle and Gary Johnson ) were going to watch carter while we went. So we had all day to play and went to Zions it was so pretty and fun, niether of us had ever been there before so it was fun. Carter loved the bus ride. He didnt want to get off. Here are some fun pictures

Potty Training!!

2009-06-05T08:37:00.000-07:00

Ok so for about two weeks i've tried to potty trian carter and it just didnt seem like he wanted to do it. Untill the other day he went up to the potty and stood up instead of sitting down. I was so surprised but he went. He has done a good job he does go about 4-5 times a day on the potty. Like they say there will be more accidents but i think he has done a great job. Yeah for Carter! I knew he was ready the day he decided he didnt want his diaper on anymore and he kept saying he had to go to the potty. I'm such a proud mom can you tell. LoL

Paxton Lee Evans

Carters 2nd Birthday!

2009-05-18T11:01:00.000-07:00

Carter had his 2nd Birthday on Tues. At first i didnt think i would do anything but just cake and ice cream but i changed my mind. We took him to the park and let him run around and play, after he played for an hour and a half we had cake and ice cream and opened his gifts. He was so funny. Glenn surprised Carter and myself by buying him a fish tank so after the park we went and bought him some fish. He was sooo excited to have fish. Sometimes i cant hear him so i get worried but i look for him and he is just staring at the fish in awww. The second day he had it i guess he thought the fish looked hungery so he gave them some of his marshmellow mates.. LOL But overall i think he had a great day!! Here are some picks

So i know it has been a while so i thought i would update you on whats going on in our life. I will start with Carters ears, He went to the docs and he still has fluid in them however his ear drum moved a lot more so when we go next week the doctor will see if he has anymore fluid in his ear. Other then that he is a happy boy. Glenn is working a lot, he owns his own construction business and is doing well. Glenn he has been such a rock for me lately, He means the world to me i love him with all my heart, and would seriously be lost with out him in my life. He is truly my best friend. "I'm lucky to be in love with my best friend". Other then that not much has really happened we are happy and living life to fullest.

Infection

2009-02-27T10:11:00.000-08:00

Its a first for everything this week. Last Saturday Carter was coughing a lot and with each day it was getting worse. I was getting a little concerned cause his eating was slowing going away but when Monday night came and Carter keep crying and asking for Glenn and I and saying hurt and pulling his ear, I knew right away what it was. So we took him to the doctor the next day and Carter got his first Ear Infection and a Viral Infection. Then to top it off yesterday I was brushing his teeth and I saw his molar was all swollen and big. When Carter has something happen its never small. Poor kid. He is taking his medicine and doing really well.

First Car Accident

2009-02-27T10:03:00.000-08:00

Well our new car had its first Accident so sad. The other day i was leaving Walmarts parking lot. Carter and I were just chillin waiting to turn and at a complete stop then out of no where BAM!! we were hit. I was so worried about Carter but he was great no problems just scared. I felt bad for the lady that hit me Cause her daughter that was in the back seat had a seatbelt burn on her neck from the seatbelt. Plus this was her 3rd accident with in 2 months. Yes Tessa this was the day you saw me at Walmart. I knew this was bound to happen i just didnt want it to happen so soon. The car is only a year old. All well such is life. Its all fixed and looks brand new again:)

It smells like fingernail polish

2009-02-12T15:22:00.000-08:00

The other day i was on the phone and i turned my head for like 2 mins i swear, then all of the sudden i get the woof of fingernail polish.My heart sunk i remembered i left fingernail polish on our kitchen counter but i had it to where i thought he couldnt get to it. He grabed it and brook it and fingernail polish was all over a chair and the carpet. Of course the color had to be pink/ purple to blend in with the brown carpet and the black chair (lol). I got most of it out of the carpet but as for the chair you can see it was all over it. When i saw this his first word was mom paint? I was so mad at my self but know i can laugh at it.

Glenn why is it quite?

2009-02-12T14:59:00.000-08:00

This is one of those moments where it is just to quite in the house and you know that your child us up to know good. And then when you see what they are doing you cant get mad at them instead you get the camera and take picutues.

Snow

2009-02-11T13:22:00.001-08:00

On one of the many snow storms that we have had. We went and played in the snow. Carter didn't really know what to do with it, in other words he didn't like it that much but after a while he loved it.He made his first snow angel it was kinda funny cause he couldnt get up so it reminded me of the christmas story. My little niece has a four wheeler and were able to play with it that day as well. It was fun to watch carters face as you would slide in the snow.

Phone

2009-02-06T15:18:00.000-08:00

The other day my phone was acting up so I sent all my picturs and videos to my email address just in case it went out. I forgot i had some when carter was so little. I thought i would share a few. They are from my phone so they are small.

Busy

2009-02-06T14:56:00.000-08:00

Whenever I'm busy Carter seems to find something that he knows he is not supposed to be in. Well the other day i caught him, I was doing laundry and he grabbed some clothes and took them in another room and was playing with our swimsuits. Crazy kid but ya got to love him.

Merrry Christmas!! This christmas was great we had a nice relaxing day. It was really fun to see carter just tear into his gifts. But most of all it was nice to remember what we were truly celebrating the birth of christ. We went to the temple of couple of nights ago and enjoyed the main street decor. I really like the pond. I hope all had a great day.

What in the world....

2008-12-17T14:10:00.000-08:00

The other day when it was snowing really really bad. Glenn and I looked out our window to see the snow storm. Well to our surprise we saw this guy cleaning out the hot tub. Yes you read it right. We couldnt believe it so we took a picture of it. You'll laugh when you see it. I mean seriously who in the right mind would do this in the middle of a snow strom. Ha ha

Christmas Cookies!!

2008-12-17T13:00:00.001-08:00

The other day i signed up for christmas cookies for our ward party. While i was making them glenn and carter( thanks to glenn ) kept taking my dough, so i told carter when i was done he could have the beater. Here is what he looked like eating it. ha ha

Just in case you wanted to see what they looked like, here is the finished product.

My new favorite Scripture!!

2008-12-17T12:50:00.000-08:00

Like i have mentioned we have had a tough year, so Glenn and i have made it a goal to finish the book of mormon together. We have done pretty well reading it every night with or without carter. But the other day i went back and looked up some of the scriptures that we had highlighted, I came accross this one and it just hit me really really hard. I guess it just fits in what is going on in our lives. But here it is 1 Nephi 7:20-21 And it came to pass that they were sorrowful, because of their wickedness, insomuch that they did bow down before me , and did plead with me that i would forgive them of the that they had done against me. And it came to pass that i did frankly forgive them all that they had done, and i did exhort them that they would pray unto the lord their god for forgiveness. And it came to pass that they did so. And after they had done praying unto the lord we did again travel on our journey towards the tent of our father.

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree!!

2008-12-09T16:20:00.000-08:00

We went to our storage unit and noticed that our christmas stuff is at the bottom of our pile and wouldnt be able to get to it. We had Two choices either buy another fake tree or buy a real tree. Neither Glenn or I have ever had a real tree so we thought it would be kinda fun to buy a real tree. Everytime we are gone for a couple of hours and come home it is so nice to smell the tree. Love it :)

Thanks

2008-12-01T08:18:00.000-08:00

Wow this year i have so much to greatfull for.Well first i have to thank my heavenly father he has really blessed us this year with work, love, true friends, trials that just keep coming and never stopping.

Well alot has happened in our little family after the last blog i have posted. I fill free to express some of my feelings now that it is out in the open. My parents are getting a DIVORCE, yep you read it right my dad came home one day and just said he wasnt happy in life. But come to find out he had run into an old fling and they have been together every sense. It hurts me to to see my family falling apart like it has. But I know my mom is a strong women who can handle herself when needed. She is very beautiful and has alot going for her, if she could only see that right now and now it will be ok. It has affected alot of people more then i thought it would. Threw all of this the lord has helped me and glenn see why family is so important, and why your answers to prayers are so important to listen too. I know my heavenly father loves me and knows how to talk to me to let us know he cares. I'm so excited to listen to conference to head the advice the lord wants us to hear and take it and use it in our lives right now at these trying times in all our lives. Threw these trails in my life right now i know he loves me. And he wants me to be better. I love him for understanding me. Glenn has also been a great big help with all that is going on, He is my strength, love and support as well, I know that all these trials have made us stronger. I love you Glenn!!! Thanks for all you do. :)
Along with that we moved into an apt complex in West Jordan called Woodgate apt. Carter loves it. He acts like he is king of the apt running from room to room. Very cute. He has alot of teeth in now. Carters personality is just shooting threw the roof. Glenn is keeping busy with work. And I enjoying being home. This is why i did not blog i've been without internet we just got it last night and had alot of things going on..
