Sweet Baby Jay

So I haven't had the internet for quite some time now therefore I have not been able to post anything about the most wonderful blessing that entered my life almost 5 months ago!

We welcome...

Jaymison McKay Guthrie

Born: September 16, 2012 at 4:05 a.m.

Weighed in at: 8lbs 9oz

Length: 21 3/4 inches long

Although she was born 5 months ago, for my sake and hers (someday) now that I have access to the internet I am going to go back in time and post about each month of her life. 

Picture of our little monkey still inside! At this appointment we found out that our little bean was a princess! Mommy couldn't have been happier to find out that she was healthy and happy with her little hand on her forehead!

I have a picture of me each month but thats a lot of pictures to post so we'll just do a couple, this is me at 24 weeks! I was still so little!

 And here I am full term on my due date! September 12, 2012! HUGE!!!

Daddy yelling at Jaymison to come out! We were so ready and it felt like it took soooo long!

 After a full 24 hours in the outpatient wing of the hospital, lots of gels, walking around, contractions and very little sleep....I got admitted to the hospital put on pitocin and the contractions really started to get the best of me! Lucky I had lots of family to rub my feet, a wonderful husband to hold my hand, and a very wise sister who knew right when to tell me to ask for my epidural! (Thanks Lauren) :)

My Mom and sisters (minus Dana...we missed her very much) were able to come and support me as I entered their world of motherhood! Between my amazing Mom and 3 sisters I  could not ask for better examples of FANTASTIC mothers! I am truly blessed to have them only a phone call away! 

Here is one of the first pictures of my little angel! It was an absolutely beautiful experience and we have  not been able to get enough of her since! What a beautiful blessing! 

Snuggles with my lovely in her first hours! Tired but in heaven!

Daddy and his princess! She has had him wrapped around his finger from the first moment! 

My phenomenal sister Noelle is an amazing photographer and since I was blessed enough to have her there when Jay was born we got some adorable pictures of her within her first 24 hours of life! She was such a good sport and the nurses passing could not get enough of the little baby model!

Another one of Noelle's masterpieces! 

Ren has always wanted pictures like this with his little one! It was so sweet to see the two loves of my life together! A very magical moment for me as a new Mom, I am so blessed! 

Many people came to visit and meet baby Jay! Here are a few pictures of family loving on her! 

 Grandpa and Auntie Lauren

 Laiky and Gigi!

The place I call home!

So although a part of me will always consider Twin Falls, Idaho home aka where my parents live, Chandler, AZ is the city in which I am happy to now be able to call my home! My husband and I just recently packed all of our things, said our teary good byes and left Idaho for good! It was a very bitter sweet day for the both of us and I guess I shouldn't say for good because you never know what could happen! Ren was recently named the manager at the Buckle in the Fashion Square mall in Scottsdale AZ! We are very happy to be taking this step in life together and hopefully I will be better at posting so we can share it all with you! I figured that a good post to start with would be some pictures of our cute apartment that we are so happy to have so here goes...

On our way to our first day in Scottsdale AZ! :)

Rendo in front of his very own Store! YAAAYYYYY for him! I am so proud! :)

Living room! How cute is everything! Thanks Mom and Dad for the house warming gift! The end tables really helped put the room together! Love you!

Well thats all for now! Come again soon! :)

My life as of late...

So I know I talked about being so bored all the time and needing things to do but you all know how life gets away from you and you end up being much busier than you think! So it is now May and I am posting again, sorry for the long break...again!

I had fun doing the flowers for Grandmas special day!

Miss you Noellie!

The Queen in all her glory :)

Queen for a Day! This last weekend we also had fun traveling to Malad to help throw my Grandma an 80th birthday party! It was so good to see my family immediate and extended as well as spend the day with my dear sweet Grandma. She has been such a wonderful part of my life and I will forever cherish the memories I have of cousin camp and playing Monopoly! Sure do love you Grandma!!!

Jae's going away party! We'll miss her! :(

Ren and I are still working at the Buckle and we work work work work work! lol Ren just finished the Management Training Program and are now hoping to get our won store! I'll keep you posted when we hear! Meanwhile we are having so much fun with our friends!

Other than that we take life just one day at a time and have fun! :)

Christmas cheer!

I forgot one of the best pics from graduation! Little EmJ and Big EmJ together! Isn't she fantastic?

So Christmas! To begin...my parents got my family the most wonderul present this year....thats right we are going to Hawaii! We go the last week in January and it will be my and Rendo's first time! CAN'T WAIT! Along with the wonderful gift, Christmas was so enjoyable this year besides the fact that it totally snuck up and me and was gone before I even finished my shopping! Working retail means that my Christmas is a little short of a relaxing week off. Ren and I worked the day before and the day after Christmas. Thus, not leaving a lot of time for family but we managed to squeeze some in! This year Christmas was with my family so we drove to Twin Christmas Eve night and drove back to morning after Christmas. There truly is nothing better than spending time with my wonderful husband at my home with my family!

My little Princess! So good to see all of my nieces and my nephew! They are like little rays of sunshine!

Jensen family tradition! You have to wait on the stairs til Dad has the camera ready and Mom and Dad say you can come up. The kids were so excited to see what Santa had brought!

Two of the 4 little ones! Ella Bella and Daxy Doodle wouldn't sit still for the pic.

Just one of my adorable new outfits my hubby got me!

And finally a girls shot! I don't know what I would do without my Mom and sisters! They truly are the best friends I will ever have! Love you guys! And thanks family for the wonderful weekend!

Thanks as well to the Guthrie's for the fun celebrations here although they were a few days late! We got a new bed from Ren's parents and let me tell you, my back really appreciated it!

Hope your Christmas's were as fun and full of love and laughter as mine was! Happy Holidays!

Graduation=Bored to death...didn't see that coming!

So.... I truly can't begin to express my excitement when my graduation from college finally arrived! I never thought the day would come that I would never again would have to think of or be burdened by homework!! The freedom was something I couldn't even begin to fathom and it was with in my reach! So the day finally arrived that I graduated from college with a Bachelors in Horticulture emphasis in floral design! Now don't get me wrong...not having homework is truly wonderful but when all I have to do every week is work full time I sure do get bored and thus the reason I am going to try and start blogging more! Yay! Along with blogging I think I need some hobbies so if anyone has anything that they love to do I am open for suggestions!

Just celebrating my graduation with a cheesy thumbs up!

My absolutely phenomenal husband! Man I love that kid!

Oh just the parents who gave me the brains to make it through college! lol thanks for the support all those years!

And my wonderful sister...her and her lovely family were able to come to my graduation because they live in Rexburg! I was so thankful they were there for me! Dana and Lauren we missed you guys!

Our First Move

So Ren and I recently moved from our first apartment! It was a bitter sweet move for sure but it made the most sense for our little family. Our first apartment was in Rexburg where we were both attending school. Definitely a newlyweds apartment with one bedroom, and no storage space but we sure loved it....after all it was our home! here are some pictures!

Our cute kitchen...you can't really say it was little because its not but when you take into consideration the counter space it was Tiny!

Our bedroom that i absolutely loved was decorated in black and magenta...adorable!

Just the bathroom

And there we are, I sure loved our little home...so many memories there!

Bedroom

Not nearly as cute when its not decorated but we were sure glad to be done packing our stuff up! Here we come Idaho Falls!

Side note: just a little update on what we have going on in our busy lives. I just started my very last semester at BYUI therefore will be graduating in December in Horticulture! HOORAY! Rendo and I are both working at the Buckle now and Ren is training to become a Manager. We are hoping that he will be able to finish the training program and get his own store within the next year and then we'll be off to who knows where! I'll TRY and keep you posted! xo
