Rhett, Tina, Oaklee, and Baby Girl

Been gone all summer.

2011-09-21T12:51:00.000-07:00

Not a lot has gone on this summer. We have just been busy busy. Rhett had school two days a week. We just watched Oaklee grow. She has grown so much, it's crazy. We were able to spend a lot of time with our families..We even got to see most of our New York Family.

It was so nice to see Lindsey and the kids. We miss them so much. We can't wait to see them again. We wish that we could go to New York for a visit.

We took Oaklee to the Sandy Aquarium. She could have cared less, Lindsey kids seemed to love it. I can't wait for next Summer Oaklee will be a little older and will love the zoo and the aquarium.

Rhett has started up school again, We both can not wait until he is finished with school. He is taking two classes again on in SLC and the other in Provo. I love that he gets out pretty early. Rhett also started a new job this summer.....

YAY to no more Wells Fargo!! He is so much happier since he has left them. The only sucky thing is that Wells Fargo has amazing insurance. I am sad about that. :(

Kudos to whoever has read all of this.

Here is a few updates on our little Oaklee. She is getting so BIG. She turned 5 months in June, she is not 7 Months. The time goes by so fast. I miss when she was just a wee little one...

BUT I love all the stages that she has gone through and is now going through.
She loves Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Banana's, Squash, Fruit Melody. She hates Carrots, and Watermelon.

She has been crawling for about a month. Before that she would get on her hands and knee's and kind of lunge herself forward. She loves her voice, and when Daddy sings to her.

She now crawls to the sofa and stands up, she falls down a lot.. She is so brave and gets right back up and does it again.
Thanks for Reading, Love TRO

Blessing Day

2011-06-13T15:54:00.000-07:00

Get ready for a load of pictures!
We blessed Oaklee on April 17th. She was two Months old. We chose that day because Rhett's oldest brothers family was going to be here. We wanted to share the moment with them. It was great to have all of the Bjarnson kids together. I am just so sad that we didn't get a picture with all of the grandkids. O did so good during sacarment and during the blessing, but at the luncheon after she cried most of the time.

We invited so many people and knew that wew wouldnt be able to fit everyone in our home so we booked our clubhouse. It worked out great.

We had met with a member of the Bishopric and filled out all the paper work the Sunday before. On the day of the blessing, They forgot about us. Our home teacher had to go up and remind them all that we were blessing O that day. He had told us that they had forgotten to his baby's as wel.

It was so nice to see all of our friends and family .

2 Months

2011-04-16T14:47:00.000-07:00

Wow, We can not believe that two months has gone by. It's been such a fun journey. We have had our ups and downs and all of it has really shown me that Rhett and I are really meant to be together. It's so nice to have someone that loves you help you transition into a family of three.

We really have enjoyed out little family! We still can not get over how cute she is and that we made her!
Oaklee is now smiling a ton! It so fun to see her little personality show. Most nights she is asleep at midnight and gets up at 10 AM. If we put her to bed before midnight (or if we are lucky to get her to go to sleep before) she will get up anywhere between 8 and 9 AM. We love her!

Thanks for reading!

1 Month!

2011-03-18T12:25:00.001-07:00

This little one turned a month old yesterday!! March 17th!! I can't believe a whole month has gone by. It feels like just yesterday Rhett and I were sitting in a hospital room waiting to go back in the OR to have our baby!
Here are a few things about Oaklee:
Nicknames we call her
Little O, Little girl, Little baby, Pumpkin, Sweet Pea, Oaks, and baby girl.
She loves Give said the little stream song and a song that her daddy made up for her!! I love the song. I'm trying to get him to put more words into the song and then record it.
I love that she smiles in her sleep!! It is so cute!
Oaks sleeps a lot during the day. She is up from about 9pm-12am sometimes up until 2am. I know I know I need to get her on a schedule.
I return to work in a month! I can't believe it! I would love to continue being a stay at home mom but I just isn't going to happen.
Rhett and I couldn't be more happy about our little family!

Two Weeks!!

2011-03-05T13:24:00.001-08:00

This little cutie turned two weeks old on March 3rd!!

I can't believe she has already been here for two weeks. I think that its crazy!! Rhett and I couldnt feel more happy! Yes she keeps us up late at night, she poops and pee's a ton!! BUT we wouldn't change it for the world!!

Oaklee Rose

2011-02-23T17:38:00.000-08:00

Our Little Oaklee Rose was born Feb 17Th. We had our last doctors appt. on Tues Feb 15Th. When my doctor confirmed that we would indeed need a c-section. My pelvis is just too small to let my little one down. He said that there was no need to go past my due date (Feb 19Th). He asked us if we wanted to do the c-section on Wednesday or Thurs.. Rhett chose Thurs, he had already set up an appt to get our taxes done Wednesday night. I was so excited, nervous, sad you name it I was feeling it. At first I wasn't very happy about getting a C-section in fear that they wouldn't let Rhett be in the room when they gave me the spinal block to numb me. My doctor confirmed that Rhett would be playing a big part in that. The night of the 16Th and morning of the 17Th I could not sleep. I probably slept like 4 hours. I couldn't wait to meet my little one. They said that I couldn't eat or drink anything after 4am. I had my last drink of water at 3:50am. We had to be to the hospital at 10:30 am. The c-section was scheduled for 12 noon. We got there and they put us in room 201 had me get in the gown, leave a urine sample and started my IV. The doctor was running late because he had two other ladies in labor at Jordan Valley hospital. He got there around 12:15. At that point they had Rhett get in his little get up ( he looked so cute) They took us in our operating room. They put the blood clot socks on me. Had me lean on Rhett and started the Spinal Block. The numbing shots killed. I was squeezing Rhett's sides so hard and I had tears coming down my face. The nurse kept telling me that I was doing such a great job at holding still even though it felt like I was moving from squeezing so hard. I felt them put the spinal block in, mainly just pressure. That didn't hurt. Right before I felt the pressure the anesthesiologist asked for another needle. Come to find out that the first spinal needle had bent because he hit my bone. I never felt him hit it, I never felt pain from it after! Thank goodness!! We had our little girl about 5 to 10 mins after they started. ( Yes the rumors are true they do actually burn you open not cut and yes you can smell it) She was born at 12:40 pm weighing 7lbs and 1 oz 18 1/2 inches long. I had tears coming down my face the whole time. But Once I heard my little girl cry for the very first time I started crying even harder. It such a hard thing to describe the instant love that you have for that child. I loved her even more then when she was in my stomach. They brought her over to me still covered with the "cheese" I couldn't get over how cute she was. They let us take our first family pictures and then had to take Oaklee to the nursery because she had swolled some fuilds. She had to have oxygen for just a little bit. I guess that happens when you have c-sections. They we "putting" me back together with stitches and staples. Then they moved me to the recovery room and Rhett and Oaklee walked in. I had to be in the recovery room until I could move my feet. It took about an hour. Rhett and I used that time for just our little family!! I loved that hour where it was just my little family. Rhett then took her back to the nursery to have her first bath. He said that when they were taking her diaper off she had already pooped in it. Then they washed her put a new diaper on and she filled that. So they had to put another one on and she filled that. HAHA she went through three diapers so fast! I was taken to my room (223) I was in there waiting for Rhett to get back with Oaklee. They had given me ice chips, water and applesauce.. I threw up on myself twice. Rhett took lots of pictures of her. He is such a great daddy! He has been taking care of me and Oaklee since the 17Th. Not once complaining! I couldn't ask for a better husband or father!
We couldn't be happier! We love our little family!

The day is coming!!!!

2011-02-15T16:31:00.000-08:00

39 weeks!!! I can't believe it, I really can't! Rhett and I had my final doctors appt. today! We are going to be parents on Feb 17th! I am so so so excited. I can't believe it!!

Belly Pictures!!!

2011-01-13T15:57:00.001-08:00

Just a warning.. its a long one!!!
33 Weeks!

30 Weeks!

2010-12-15T15:26:00.000-08:00

Oh my we have less then 10 weeks to go! I can not wait to meet her! Here are a little updates! I have a few days here and there that I'm just not sure if we should name her Oaklee. Don't get me wrong I love the name. I just don't know if I should give her such different/not so common name. Emma keeps coming to my mind. I mentioned this to Rhett and he said that he rather do Oaklee. I said what if she hates us for giving her that name. He said at one point everyone has probably dislikes there name for some reason. He said that his name is not that common and is different and he likes it. So for now we will name her Oaklee... No I'm sure she will end up with the name Oaklee. Like so many of my friends have pointed out that I have loved the name for forEVER!

We are also down to having appointments every two weeks! This has been going on for about a month now! I'm starting to get tired of going. I mean it's great that we get to hear her heartbeat everytime. About a month ago the doc told us that she is now head down!!! She is getting so big and isn't as active as she used to be. Which scares me sometimes. Rhett likes to remind me that she isn't going anywhere she is here to stay. ( I love him, and I don't think I could do this without him, he keeps me grounded)

Yesterday we had our appointment.. Everything was normal, walk in, sign your name and let them know that you have arrived. Then we sit in the waiting room and just wait and wait to be called back. We get called back, then I get weighed (I hate this part), then I get to go pee in a cup ( which I hate even more then getting weighed.) The nurse has us go in a room she takes my blood pressure, and then more waiting for the doc. Doctor T walked in and asked how everything was going. I let him know that she isn't as active as she used to be. He said well if you don't feel her moving you need to get checked into the hospital right away. I assured him that I feel her throughout the day, just not crazy movements or a lot. He had me lay down on the bed and lift my shirt. He couldn't feel her. I was getting so worried. I knew she was there, I mean where could she had gone?? He couldn't feel her head so he was worried that maybe she had become breech with in the past two weeks. I let him know that I hadn't felt a big movement like that. Then he said that maybe her back was facing my back, I let him know that I had been experiencing a lot of back pain... He said that must have been it. I also let him know that I have been feeling harder movements under my boobs like she is kicking or moving her legs and flutters down below like her hands are moving. Then came time for the heartbeat, MY FAVORITE PART!!!.. buuuuuuttttt he couldn't find it. I was getting so scared I looked at Rhett who gave me his normal reassuring look as everything is fine!! Then Doctor T asked " You did say that you felt her today, right?" Oh my, I almost cried.. Of course I have felt her. But then I started thinking, okay when did I feel her? I thought for sure he was going to move us in the ultrasound room.. but thankfully my little pray was answered.. he finally heard her heartbeat!!! I asked him since he found it, and where he found it if that meant she wasn't breech. He said that if we find her heartbeat under/below the belly button most likely she is not BREECH!!!
Seriously that is the scariest thing I have ever went through. I never want to go through it again. My heart was beating so fast. Its so strange that you can love someone so much that you have never meant. I so happy that I still get my little one in February!

Our baby girl.

2010-10-29T17:37:00.000-07:00

Showing off our beautiful baby girl!

Oaklee's head and body.

Oaklee's cute leg. It's so amazing that you can see her bones.

Oaks' little foot.

Oaklee's little bum, girl parts, and feet.. She was not shy at all showing us that she was indeed a little girl.

Oaklee's head and body

Another picture of her cute little bum.

Oaklee's body

Finally Oaklee's beautiful face!

We are so excited to be getting this gift from our Heavenly Father. We can not wait to hold her in our arms. She is moving a ton now, seems like she is doing flips inside. I try to get her to move for Rhett but it seems that she stops moving right when his hand is on my stomach.
We love you Oaklee!

A little piece for Oaks room..

2010-10-29T16:35:00.000-07:00

Right after the appointment when we found out that we were having a little girl I made Rhett go to Hobby Lobby to buy the cute little wood letters. Then we went to Roberts and got the paper. Rhett was so cute at helping me find the right paper. I just can't get over how cute it is! I can't wait to hang it in her room!

Our baby is the size of....

a Large Mango!!!

The Internet says:
Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

22 weeks

2010-10-29T16:28:00.000-07:00

A little late:
Our baby is the size of a....

SPAGHETTI SQUASH...

The internet says:
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

Week 21

2010-10-11T11:48:00.000-07:00

Our baby is the size of a...

Carrot

From the Internet:
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.

From our book:
How big is baby this week? About 7 inches in length (think large banana) and almost 11 ounces in weight. And talking about bananas, you might want to eat some this week if you'd like your baby to have a taste for them. Some carrots, too. That's because amniotic fluid differs from day to day depending on what you've eaten (hot chili one day, sweet banana another), and now that your baby is swallowing amniotic fluid each day (for hydration, nutrition, and also to get practice swallowing and digesting), he or she will be getting a taste of-- and a taste for-- whatever's on your menu. Here's another baby update: Arms and legs are finally in proportion, neurons are now connected between the Brain and muscles, and cartilage throughout the body is turning to bone. Which means that when your baby makes his or her moves (which you're probably feeling by now), they're much more coordinate--no more jerky twitches.

I love feeling her move, it is such an amazing feeling. I can't wait to hold my baby girl!

The day has finally come...

2010-09-30T14:29:00.000-07:00

We found out today that we are having a little Oaklee Monique! We couldnt be more excited! Rhett has thought from day one that it would be a girl! We have a ton of pictures and a short little video that we will be sharing soon! I started crying the moment that the screen showed our little one!

We have reached the half way mark!!!

2010-09-28T15:55:00.001-07:00

20 weeks!!! Our baby is the size of ....

Banana!!!

How your baby's growing:
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)

He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

Baby Bjarnson

2010-09-21T16:53:00.001-07:00

I can fell little movements in my belly!! They kind of feel like a little fish is swimming around in my tummy!! It is amazing! One of the best things in the world!
We find out what we are having on Sept 30th... ugh.. It is still so far away.
I order a breasfeeding cover today.. I only had to pay shipping!! Since I got a sweet promo!
We picked out the crib!! We will be getting it this week!

19 Weeks!!! I can't believe it!!

2010-09-21T16:40:00.001-07:00

Our baby is the size of a...

Large Mango..
Or depending on where you get your information from..

A heirloom Tomato!!

Internet says:

Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.

The Book Says:
This week your baby is hitting the growth charts at 6 inches long and a full half pound in weight. What Fruits is it this week? Your baby's about the size of a large mango. A mango dipped in greasy cheese, actually. Vernix caseosa--a greasy white proctective substance (it resembles cheese)-- now covers your baby's sensitive skin, protecting it from the surroundings amniotic fluid. Withour that protection, your baby would look very wrinkled at birth. The coating sheds as delivery approaches, but some babies born early are still covered with vernix at delivery.

18weeks

2010-09-21T16:38:00.001-07:00

Our baby is the size of a...

bell pepper... well last week it was!! haha..I'm a little behind on posting these dang things.

Internet says:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound

17 weeks..

2010-09-13T09:21:00.001-07:00

Our baby is the size of a......

TURNIP
Personally I hate turnips.. Thankfully our baby is only this size for another day. haha.

From the internet:
Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.

Every now and then I can feel littler butterfly movements. Its a really neat experience. We are so thankful for everything. We should find out what we are having Sept 30th. WE CAN'T WAIT!!

16 weeks.. a litle late.

2010-09-05T19:52:00.000-07:00

Our baby for a few more days is the size of a.....

Avocado!

Avocado's are one of my most favorite fruits!

Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

Names!!

2010-08-29T19:17:00.000-07:00

Rhett and I have finally agreed on names! We have had the girl name picked out for some time now. We have decided if we have a girl we will name her: Oaklee Monique Bjarnson. If we have a boy we will name him: Boston Cory Bjarnson! We couldnt be more excited.. I am still gagging mostly in the mornings.. I still have some bad days, where I will gag all day long! I can't wait until we found out what we are having!!

YAY Week 15!!!!

2010-08-24T16:07:00.000-07:00

Week 15!!! This is so exciting! Our baby is the size of...

an APPLE!

We have a doctor's appt next week, where he will just check us to make sure everything is going on great. We will get to listen to the heart beat! I'm feeling much better now. I only gag in the EARLY mornings. I am getting a lot of headaches now.. Which I hate!! I'm very very forgetful now.. Its not funny. That I'm also hating.(My work is probably hating it too)

From the Website:

How your baby's growing:
Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")

From out book:
Your baby, who measures 4 1/2 inches this week and weighs around 2 to 3 ounces, is about the size of an orange. Looking more and more like the baby you're picturing in your dreams his or her ears are positioned properly on the sides of the head (they used to be in the neck), and the eyes are moving from the side of the head to the front of the face. By now your baby has the coordination, strength, and smarts to wiggle his or her fingers and toes and even suck a thumb. But that's not all your baby can do now. He or She can also breathe (or at least make breathing movements), suck and swallow-all in preparation for the big debut and life outside the womb. And though it's unlikely that you'll be feeling any movements from your little one this week, your baby is certainly getting a workout-kicking, flexing, and moving those arms and legs.

A little late...

2010-08-20T15:30:00.000-07:00

YAY!! We have finally reached the second trimester!! 14 WEEKS!!!I have still been gagging a lot during the day mostly in the morning. But We couldn't be happier. Our next appt is Aug 31st. We wont get an ultrasound this time, we will only hear the heart beat.

Our baby is the size of a...

.....LEMON

From the website:
This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.

In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.

From the book:
Beginning in the second trimester fetuses(like the children they'll eventually become) start growing at different paces, some faster than others, some more slowly. Despite the differences in growth rate, all babies in utero follow the same developmental path. This week, that path is leading your baby-who is about the size of your clenched fist-toard a straighter position as the neck is getting longer and the head more erect. And on top of that cute little head, your baby might actually be sprouting some hair. Eyebrow hair is also filling in about now, as is body hair, called lanugo. Don't worry, it's not permanent. This downy coating of hair is there to keep your baby warm for now-like a furry blanket. AS baby fat accumulates later on in your pregnancy, most of that hair will be shed-though some babies, especially those born early, still have a temporary fuzzy coating at delivery.

13 Weeks!!! YAY!!!

2010-08-10T19:55:00.001-07:00

Finally we are 13 Weeks!! This is so exciting! The last week of my first trimester!!
OUR BABY IS THE SIZE OF:

Medium Shrimp!!

From our website:
Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

From our book:
As your first trimester comes to a close, your fetus has reached the size of a peach, about 3 inches long. Your baby's head is now about half the size of his or her crown to rump length, but that cute little body is picking up steam and will continue growning overrtime. Meanwhile, your baby's intestines, which have been growing inside the umbilical cord, are now starting their trek to theird permanent position in your baby's abdomen. Also developing this week: You baby's vocal cords!!

2nd appt- Aug 4th 2010

2010-08-05T17:09:00.000-07:00

This was such and exciting appt. The baby was moving its arms so fast and its little legs were moving! It was so amazing to hear the heart beat! I had tears in my eyes!! This is truly a blessing from Heavenly Father!

a LIME

From the internet..baby center
The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.

Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

From my book: What to expect when expecting!!
Your baby has more than doubled in size during the past three weeks, Weighing in now at 1/2 ounce and measuring (crown to rump) about 2 1/2 inches. About the size of a large fresh plum, your baby's body is hard at work in the development department. Though most of his or her systems are fully formed, there's still plenty of maturing to do. The digestive system is beginning to practice contraction movements (so your baby will be able to eat), the bone marrow is making white blood cells, and the pituitary gland at the base of the brain has started producing hormones.

Proof- One of many that we are expecting!

2010-08-05T16:14:00.001-07:00

Two positive pregnancy tests. I took the first one on fathers day!! When I came out and showed Rhett I was just so shocked!! Rhett had to confirm that we were really pregnant!!! I started to doubt myself so I took the test again a few days later!!!

We are just so excited!! We have been waiting for this for a long time!
We love you Baby Bjarnson!!!

Update!!!

2010-08-04T19:31:00.000-07:00

Today is my birthday, we had an amazing day! Rhett and I took the day off like we do every year. However this year we had a doctors appt. We found out that baby and I very healthy. The only thing is I have lost 9 lbs. But he didnt say anything about it, so I wont worry! He also informed us that we are 12 weeks and 1 day as of the appt. So that puts our new due date: Feb 15th 2011!! We got to hear the heart beat which was amazing! I had tears running down my face! We got six new pictures, two being 3D.
After we went to the doctor, we met up with my brother-in-law and his four kids and went to the zoo! Then to applebee's for dinner!! It was so much fun! Best Birthday so far!!! Happy 23rd to me!!
Pictures to come!

11 weeks!!!

OUR baby is the size of a.....

FIG

Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.

Thank Goodness....

2010-07-28T17:47:00.000-07:00

I enjoy being pregnant, the very thought of someone growing inside me, is amazing! I can't wait to see what the baby will look like. If it will look more like me or Rhett. I have been sick every single day, some days are worse. I hate to take showers, no matter when I take them. They make my tummy turn. I hate brushing my teeth in the morning. Everyday I look at my toothbrush and think about if I really should try and brush them. Then if it makes me sick, I have to stick my head under the sink to cool down. I end up laying on the bathroom floor, breathing in and out trying to not think about throwing up. Every morning, I'm sick.. One thing that helps me is Otter Pops!! Uh I love them, they have to be the green, orange, or purple ones.

I eat them at 6:30 AM with my AC on, every morning!! I would die without them, okay not really.

10 weeks, 110 days to go..

Our baby is the size of........

a KUMQUAT

Though he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby has now completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature.

He's swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm. Vital organs — including his kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells in place of the disappearing yolk sac) — are in place and starting to function, though they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy.

If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

In other developments: Your baby's limbs can bend now. His hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. The outline of his spine is clearly visible through translucent skin, and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from his spinal cord. Your baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his developing brain and sits very high on his head, which measures half the length of his body. From crown to rump, he's about 1 1/4 inches long. In the coming weeks, your baby will again double in size — to nearly 3 inches.

Our baby is the size of a..

Our baby is the size of a grape!!!

Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain.

BLUEBERRY!!!

We have pictures from our ultrasound coming soon!!

What was that... Is it True???

2010-07-06T18:25:00.000-07:00

That's right WE ARE PREGNANT!!! We are so so excited!! We found out on Fathers Day. Even though we pretty much figured that I was.. I was 5 weeks when we found out! This week I am 7 Weeks!! I have a doctors appt tomorrow!!! I'm so nervous about it, it's such a different experience. Rhett would like a boy! Even though he will tell you he doesn't care.. I want a girl so I can put her in cute little dresses, but I want a Boy so that the other kids(future) will have a BIG brother... Whatever Heavenly Father decides to give us! :)

**July 7th, 2011.. Went to the doctor, we found out that I wasn't as far as I thought. My last period was in Apr. But we got pregnant the Middle of May. TMI ALERT: I never had my period, so I guess I was late that month.. Which is werid because I have never been late.. I have to admitt that I really am sad that I am only 7 weeks. I mean this whole time I thought that I was 11 weeks.
They did an ultrasound, it was such an amazing thing, I almost cried when I saw the Baby! So we are now Due Feb 19th, 2011. This is my mother's birthday and Friend Lacey's birthday!
I'm a little sad that this means I will be sick for a little while longer. I CAN do it!

HaPpY FaThErS DaY!!

2010-06-21T13:41:00.000-07:00

This and That...

2010-05-04T19:10:00.000-07:00

So I haven't blogged in a really log time... Things are great!! Rhett is still in school, working hard! He is in the spring semester so its a short one. I feel bad for him, he always has homework. I know its stressful. I can't wait until he is finished!! I love you babe!! I'm still working, and wishing it was warm outside. I just bought a bike and I'm really excited to start riding it!! I can't believe in just a few short weeks Rhett and I will have been married for 2 years. It is so unreal.
Us in East Canyon, Utah end of March 2010.. For my Grandpa's birthday! It was a really fun trip!

* I made another cake, this one is by far my fav!

* I <3 these cute Boys- Rhett and my Nephews Brecken, Briggs, Ethan, Ryker, Elijah,& Jacob!

Next time I will post ones of the beautiful girlies!!! For now, these little missionaries in training will do!! They are all getting so big and I'm so happy to be apart of there lives!

Just to take a moment and sit back a realize what makes you happy!!

*Back before ( the week of our wedding) We had the WHOLE Bjarnson family home! Blaine and Kathy decided that we should re-due a family picture.. Its an oldie but a goodie!

Briggs and Brecken's Birthdays!

2010-03-22T16:50:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that Briggs is now 3, and Brecken is now 2! My little boys are getting to be so BIG. We got together and celebrated their birthdays together. They are so cute, each one so different. Brecken wasn't really interested in his gifts.. if I remember right that he opened a BIG gift and that he was only interested in that. Briggs was so excited and kept saying "yeah baby" every time he opened a gift weather it was a shirt, candy, or a toy.

Happy Valentines Day...

2010-02-16T17:49:00.001-08:00

We hope that everyone had a great Valentines Day!! Rhett and I decided that we would spend the whole weekend together.. I didn't want any friends over.. just the two of us! It's been a while since Rhett and I have had the whole weekend to ourselves( minus the in laws).. It was great not to have any friends ( love y'all) over.

Friday we went and saw Valentines Day the movie. I liked it, just not sure if I want to buy it. Rhett didn't care for it!!! Spoiler: It had so many stories in it.. that shouldn't have been in and that could have been taken out.

Also Rhett was so sweet and had flowers delivered to my work!!! He is truly amazing!

Saturday: We both worked, then we took his parents to PF Changs.. This is my favorite place to eat ever!!! It was Kathy's first time going, she loved it!!

Ignore our messy entertainment center.. you all know I am messy!

Sunday: Valentines Day. We went to church and taught our beautiful little ones, then had a huge brunch!! and just relaxed and watched movies all day!

It's hard to believe that it was two years ago on Feb 14Th, 2008 that Rhett asked me to be his wife! We've had a great adventure together and can't wait for what the future brings us. I so lucky to have him in my life! Love you!

My Friend Crystal and I like to get together and make things for holiday's... We'd like to get together every month.. but it hasn't happened yet.. This month we made:

First Try at a small wedding cake

2010-02-01T18:33:00.000-08:00

Angie and Jim are getting married in March. They are just doing a small Wedding.. They only want a small cake for the "shoving in the face" moment! I told her that I would make it! Now everyone that knows me knows that I suck at baking... I rather cook! But I love Angie to death and thought I would do this for her! Her colors are Sage green and Dark Blue! I couldn't find any white daisies so I used pink and orange for my "Practice" cake! Take a look and let me know what you think!

Catch up!!

2010-01-25T21:00:00.000-08:00

So I haven't blogged in a really log time! Nothing really has changed in mine and Rhett's life. He is still attending BYU and is taking 8 credit hours-three classes. Accounting, Biology, and New Testament. He is now only working 30 hours a week for Wells Fargo. Which I'm jealous over, He has three days off!! He is really enjoying his Accounting class, and is hoping to get into the Accounting Program that BYU offers.

I'm still working at RA, and I enjoy it most days! I need to work on being more patient. I'm trying a new thing... well its not so new. BUT I've been trying to laugh everything off so that I can have a good day! It seems to be working for the most part!

We teach the CTR 5 B (5 and 6 year olds) class in our ward. Every week we have about 9-11 kids. Last year we had the sunbeams so they were 3-4 yrs old. We are now getting to know which kids lie, and which kids can't be trusted in the bathrooms by themselves. There again we are learning patience.

We are still loving our house, and everything that comes with it! Thanks to Rhett's parents for helping us with the cooking, and cleaning!! I can't wait to start decorating more. My brother Jason is helping us build the basement (bedroom, closet, and full bathroom) for Rhett's parents. It's coming a long very nice! We are very excited!

We love married life and are coming up on two years of marriage! We haven't decided what we'd like to do to celebrate. However we still have time! Don't get me wrong we have our moments, but what married couple doesn't? I'm just very lucky that I found Rhett and that he can put up with me!

We have a ton of weddings that are happening this year.. Some of our really good friends tied the knot on Jan 15th Andy and Andrea Gates!!! It was such an amazing, and spiritual day! Kaylee, Gus will be getting married in Feb. Angie and Jim will be getting married in March. Crystal and Craig will be getting married in May. YAY to Marriage. We are so excited for all of you and we hope you Cherish your new adventures!

Catching up!

2009-10-20T18:38:00.001-07:00

So it's been a very very busy past few months. With College Football starting. Rhett and my brother in law Dan going to all of the games. I have been watching Dan and Heidi's kids. Heidi has been working at Delta since July. We have been having lots of fun with all of the kids.. it's been kind of hectic too. We also went to St. George and Las Vegas this past weekend, with Amy and her boyfriend Josh. It was fun! Also Dan and Heidi's oldest Gates got baptized!

Teasdale-Wayne County

2009-08-30T17:30:00.000-07:00

Every year my family takes a little vacation trip to Teasdale utah. It's a tiny old town. My brother in laws grandmother was born in this town. The house that she was born in still stands. We go there and camp out in tents in the yard. We go hiking, swimming in a waterfall, and eat at a park called Fruita... also known as a ghost town. We go and visit Capitol Reef, and the trails that Butch Cassidy Hid out. Its such an amazing place. I have gone every year and I never get sick of it..

The Lions Head.. This is a fun Hike, however we havent gone up there in a few years. Someone a few years ago someone was drunk and fell off it. This picture reminds me of Lion King!

Aw, man, i have to read?

2009-07-31T21:38:00.000-07:00

Researching is hard. I've been writing my issues paper and i'm happy with my progress. So we had to do some hard resaerch for the paper, which is something i'm not used to, so it was good to do and learn how. I found some really good sources, different articles from really smart intelligent people or at least they sound like it, but when i found them, i just saw how long the articles were and thought, "aw, man, have to read all of this." Yes, my lazyness was about to get the best of me, and doom my paper to a failing grade. But no, i saw the ultimate goal of me being able to write something fairly decent, instead of forcing my teacher to read my alphabetical crap. So i got to it, i started reading and reading, i couldn't stop, and then something magical happened. I was able to find out some cool stuff, which made the writing process easier. Who would've thought that would happen, not me, go figure. so i learned a lesson. Everything is for a reason, even researching. So i was dragging my feet, but i was able to get over it, and get going. So i also learned to not be afraid and not to be lazy. Someday, after all these lessons i learn each day, i might be a better person.

A Rhett Rant

2009-07-24T22:11:00.000-07:00

I finally remembered to write my blog for my english class. The last few weeks, I just simply forgot, but thanks to my wife, Tina, I was able to squeek in this blog before the deadline. Now those who know me, know that I enjoy my fair share of movies. Lately, I've been feeling that each movie I see is almost the same. Same plot and ideas show that producers are running out of ideas, therefore sticking to the same formula that makes them money, which I can't blame them, but it just gets old. It's almost like they copy and paste from one script to the other, and just fill in the blanks. I understand that they might have different dialog, and maybe a few different jokes, but the plots and formulas are the same. Take for example most romantic comedies, take two complete opposites, man and women, they hate each other at first, but after they are forced to spend time with each other, they start falling in love. when things look like they are going to end up together, one side gets caught in a misunderstanding situation which offends the other and they take off, usually to the airport (if it wasn't then it wouldn't be exciting). Then the one must run after them and express their true love. They miraculously catch up and they make up to be happier then ever. That's usually what happens give or take a few steps.
Now the ones that break away from this formula, i usaully give more credit to, no matter how bad the movie might be, I commend you. But it's not just romantic comedies, recently we've seen a few scenarios of computers and machines threatening humanity's way of life. Maybe im being to harsh, i go see these movies anyways, but i think deep down, what I'm trying to say is that i'm hopeing for a bit more originality in the movies i go see. I hope those movie producers read this. I just know they'll listen to me.

Belated... But still its good!

2009-07-21T16:06:00.000-07:00

Who would have thought! I love both of these pictures. My grandparents Celebrating there 51st Annv. Here on Virginia Beach,Virginia. As well as Rhett and I Celebrating our 1st Annv. I love that we are both walking into the ocean hand in hand. They were so sweet enough to invite Rhett and I on their vacation. We were going to go on vacation with our tax return money. Then Rhett and I decided to buy and house and use that money for that. We found a house and were so excited. They told us that we would be closing on May 1st. Which was good for us, we had to be out of the apartment by then. Then we were told the 15th of May. Which we were fine with because, we had already taken that time to go on vacation. But then We were told that wouldnt happen. So MY DEAR SWEET GRANDPARENTS invited us on there Annv Vacation. I'm so glad that we went, it helped destress us and it was great for them to get to know Rhett more. The trusted him so much that they even let him drive the rental car... which is saying a lot for them! It was a great trip! We went to Old Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown! It was such a nice trip! Here is a fun part, that I will share... We flew standby (My Mom retired from Delta.. We still get our flight benifits) Well If anyone knows how standby is... is crazy yet nice! Well we were scheduled to leave friday morning, it was the best flight going into Atlanta Ga that day from New Port News VA. Well that morning my grandpa and Rhett went outside to load the car with our things. Problem is that when they walked out the door stuck, they couldnt get in and we couldnt get out. So I had to call Maintance they came and tried to get in. They ended up coming up our balcony, and this guy kept trying. I was getting so nervous it was getting way to close to our time when we had to be at the airport. Anyways to make this long story sort of short. I ended up telling the Maintance man that I was going to jump off the balcony because I needed to be to work the next day. He said that he couldnt allow me to do that, and wouldnt let me climb down with a ladder. Well when my grandma and the guy werent looking I JUMPED! I hurt my leg and ankle, and lower back... but SHHH I didnt tell my grandparents. I'm fine now. (We were on the second story.) Oh and to make this even more funny.. we didnt make that flight! In fact we couldnt make any flight at that airport! We had to have my grandpartents pick us up and drive us to another airport about and hour half away. We made that flight. Then we were stuck in Atlanta. We did get home (in Utah) unit 11 that night.. 1am in Ga time... Anyways I know that this is a belated post! But I needed to post something, I havent for so long. I will post pictures of my house soon!

Ahhh our poor car..

2009-06-08T18:06:00.000-07:00

So this is a picture of Rhett's poor car. Right before we went on vacation, we were at my Sister Heidi's and Brother-in-law Dan's house. You see Heidi and Dan have penlty of room for us to park. When I drive there I park in the rocks on the side of the house, Rhett usually parks on the street. I'm not a fan of the street parking. They live on a busy street and I'm always thinking that someone is going to hit it. So I had Rhett park in the drive way. Well Dan and Heidi were on there way to their softball game and were running late... smash... Dan hit our car with his van. The driver side door wouldnt open more the 3-5 inches.. The good news is Dan's ins. paid for it, we got a rental and now it is fixed. I'm sure Rhett is just super duper happy that it is fixed now. He hated driving the tiny rental.

We Made it one yr.. I'm still happily married.

2009-05-26T20:17:00.000-07:00

Happy One Year To Rhett And I! We made it, it has gone by so fast. Its amazing that we have actually been married for a year. I can't believe it. I sometimes think that its only been a month or two. Rhett truely is amazing. I still feel like the luckest girl to have him in my life for eternity! For our one Year we went to Virginia with my grandparents. It was there 51st Annv of the 16th of May and our Annv was on the 17th. I'll pictures later.

Happy Birthday Rhett!

2009-04-13T11:39:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Rhett. Rhett turned 23 on April 8th. We ate at Mickey Dee's for breakfest. My Brother-in-law Dan(also our realitor) took us to go pick out paint, carpet etc for our new house. He then took us out for lunch at Crown Burger. I had planned on taking Rhett to Texas Roadhouse for his birthday. But Rhett said that he was too full. So we went to Leatherby's for ice cream. We also went to a movie. We had a pretty good day.

April Fools

2009-04-01T15:02:00.000-07:00

So my boss at work told me that for April Fools, I should tell everyone that I'm pregnant. I didnt think that anyone would believe me. Everyone always ask, when am I going to get pregnant, am I pregnant. I always tell them No, and never. So I got thinking that Maybe if I got an ultra sound they might believe me. I stole this from my friend Chelsey's Myspace page(of baby Arlee) Rhett and I went into the icon paint and earsed her name, date, and time and added my info. I got some shiney paper from work. So today I took it into work and It was so funny. I had some people believing and some not. I tried really hard to convince people. I said I'm four months, due August 25th and its a girl. Then they were like whats her name.. My quick response Oaklee. I tried telling Debra in Customer Service... but she was just so happy. I couldnt lie to her so i had to tell her after a minute or two that it was a joke. Then at three o'clock the more staff came in and I had told all of them and Andi started crying and I couldnt help it I had to tell her. Uhh needless to say.. Im not a very good lyer. (sorry Chelsey for stealing your babys picture. love ya)

If you look close you can see my name. Well I hope you have a good laugh.

New House!

2009-03-29T18:18:00.000-07:00

We are buying a home! Rhett and I couldn't be more excited. We found this brand new townhouse in Saratoga Springs, Ut for a really good price. It is a really good time for buying homes. The home isnt finished being built yet. It should be done by the begining of May. We will only be sharing one wall with another town home. No other town homes can be built next to us because there is an elementry school there. It is a three level home. Three bedrooms on the top floor. We will be building a bedroom and bathroom downstairs for Rhetts parents. I'm very excited that I wont be alone, while Rhett is at work.

Since we have three bedrooms I'm letting Rhett have a Star Wars Room. Haha, He has so many star wars stuff that I feel bad leaving them all in storage. Oh plus I'm excited, because I'm finally going to paint something black.

Our Master bedroom will have an accent wall. It is a little blue/purple color and we will be stenciling leaves in a sage green color..I stole it from a tinkerbell room.

College Life...

2009-03-09T14:57:00.000-07:00

Rhett got accepted into BYU-Utah. That is located in Provo, Utah. We are so excited to start this new adventure in our life. He will be going into accounting, however he will be taking film classes as well. Film is really what Rhett wants to go into. But we need something to fall back on. We are still trying to figure this all out. When does school start, what about loans, can he work full time or part time. Do I need to get ins. through my company again etc etc.. Haha thats all part of life I guess, is making this BIG step. No, we are not moving to Provo, however we would like to live somewhere between Provo and South Jordan.

Honoring My Great Uncle Elmo Platt

2009-02-17T20:05:00.000-08:00

So My sisters, Amy, Heidi and I took the long journey down to Ceder City. Where they were honoring Elmo, he was the only boy in Kanarraville in World War II to die. Oh and Amy's little one Brecken came as well. We had a lot of fun, there was never a dull moment. We ment my grandparents there. Right above is my grandpa and some of his siblings. Elmo was the Eldest Platt children, While listening to the talks, they explained how excited Elmo was when he was excepted into the marines. He left when he was 18 to World War II and never came home. He was stranded on Iwo Jima. He could leave the island If he swam but he didn't. The last letter he wrote to his parents said "I'm on a little island called Iwo Jima, and I'm doing okay" Later that day he was shot in the head and killed. Leaving my Grandpa John the only boy left and he was ten at the time. I guess when my grandpa was old enough to go to war, they sent a letter and his mother refuse to draft him. She wouldnt even let him serve in the US. She never wanted to go through that again. It was an amazing experience I was glad that I could be a part of.

Lost Wedding Ring!

2009-02-17T19:55:00.000-08:00

So Rhett plays with his wedding ring all of the time. It drives me nuts, because he drops it. I'm always so afraid that he is going to lose it one of these days. I think that I'm a little to rude when he does play with it. Sometimes I take it away and put it on my thumb. So yesterday (monday) He comes home from work and starts searching our room. I kindly ask him what he is looking for. He finally tells me that he hasnt been able to find his ring since sunday night. I'm freaking out in my head but try not to physically react so we dont get in a big fight. I've been trying this out for awhile, trying not to let the little things bug me. So I kept thinking at least it was his ring and not mine. His ring was only a hundred dollars, A LOT cheaper then mine! So we searched for it last night, and no luck. So I told him that when I come home from work today that I would deep clean the bedroom. I cleaned off his nightstand, searched the garbage, lifted the mattress, searched under the bed and nightstand. I decided to do some laundry so I shook all of the clothes. Nothing! I looked in the bathroom, and looked by the sink.. since he did the dishes on sunday. Still nothing, I finally gave up. He came home today, and looked under the sofa, and in the bedroom again. He finally decided that we should move the sofa and look again. So we moved it and I got on the floor and started looking and I decided to say just a little short pray, and BAM there was his ring, stuck on a metal under the sofa... THANK GOODNESS FOR PRAYER!

KATY PERRY CONCERT!!

2009-02-17T19:28:00.000-08:00

Some of my siblings and I got tickets to the Katy Perry concert. It was so much fun, we were so close to her it was amazing. There were ups and downs, sometimes I couldnt see anything but backs of people. **Curse for being so dang short** But I worked out my calves, from standing on my tippie toes, haha as if my calves arent big enough already. Also me and my sisters, we stick together. There were a guy and a girl that were in front of us, the guy was this cute little gay guy. Anyways we liked them so when he had to go to the bathroom we were fine with letting them come back to were they were. Well when they came back they brought people with them. Needless to say after pushing and shoving and us not being able to stand up straight because the people they brought back were BIG people. We were looking around and couldnt see Amy. So I kindly asked the gay boy if these people were with them, even though I already knew the answer. He ignored me, I told him that they needed to go back to were they came from. We look over and Amy is clear over on the other side of them. All of the sudden she pushes her way through and starts yelling and screaming and raising her fist to one of the girls that came back. Heidi is elbowing, pushing,and yelling at them, kristy is yelling and pushing, I'm yelling and pushing and grabbing. Dan leans forward taped the boy and said you need to leave. And they moved! HAha, thats right us Platt girls can be evil! AND YES KATY PERRY DID KISS A GIRL AT THE END OF THE CONCERT!

Just For Fun, I'm a little nerdy!

The Dial Family Cabin!

My Sister Amy's in laws have a cabin up in the Oakley area. We try to go over year to go snowmobiling. I just love it up there. I can't get enough of the peace, and how beautiful it is. We had so much fun! This is only Rhett's second year going up. The snow wasnt that deep, which was kind of sad. They have a hill area, which we love to go on, because its like a rollercoaster. But we couldnt because of the dang snow. This Year my brother Jason brought of his Girlfriend Jessica. She is getting to know the family, and we love her. Its great spending all this time with the family. We got stuck a few times, its a little frustrating, however very fun at the same time.

Tis the season...Christmas Morning.

2008-12-26T22:04:00.000-08:00

This Christmas, Rhett left me many hints to what he wanted, I wasnt so willing to give out information. I knew that Rhett wanted an Ipod. He has wanted one since we started dating. Well the day after Thanksgiving, I went out to face all the other crazy people to shop, for amazing deals. Well if any one saw that in the RC Willey ad they had the 2nd adition Nano Ipods( the short stubby ones) for only 68 dollars. Well my sisters Amy, and Heidi, and My mother waited in line for a good hour.. on Amy's part. We finally get inside and we split off to find the Nano Ipods for my brother in law and for my husband. Finally Amy and I get to the front of line and they say that they have sold out of the Ipod. Well Rhett already new I was going to get one for him, I already bought him the headphones for it... so I had to get one, no matter what the price was...If you look above you can see he is very happy with the Ipod he got.. He also kept telling me that he used to have these Homer Simpson Slippers that he could stick his foot in Homer's mouth. He wanted them so badly that.. That I had my sister get on Amazon and order them so that Rhett wouldn't see it on our Amazon account (FYI.. Amazon is amazing.) Well a few days before Christmas we were shopping at Target and low and behold... Target had the Homer Slippers. I could tell he wanted them.. So I hurried up and was like " oh these are made cheaply, see look this ones has a hole." And I walked off towards the movies, knowing that he would follow. I mean I already had boughten the slippers a few weeks before. I didnt want him knowing. Christmas was great for Rhett and I this year. We got to see everyone in our family, except for Rhett's older brother and his family. On another note. . As you can see in the picture above, I got Squence for Christmas... Well I know I look super excited. You see we went shopping the Saturday before christmas at Smiths to get some things for a Primary lesson we were doing the next day and Rhett saw the game and wanted it really bad. He even told me that it was on the "blow out" sale. I said it was okay to get. . Haha and then he wraps it for me for Christmas. His excuse was that he thought it would be funny to give it to me. Haha I have a pretty funny husband. I'm so thankful for him, and all that he has brought to my life. I love you babe.

Cousins!!!

2008-12-26T21:57:00.000-08:00

This is me and My cousin Chealse. We both work at Rescue Alert. Which is great because we get to see each other pretty much every day. Chealse and I used to look like twins when we were super little... as you can see now, we look nothing a like. I love having Chealse in my life. She is always there for me, whenever I need her.. One of my bestest friends..

2008-12-26T21:50:00.000-08:00

Me, Crystal, and Camille.. Dont we look Great!

Everyone at work that dressed up. This is our crazy face pic.

Oh don't we look adoreble? Seriously, some of these sweaters were super cute, others were questionable. Haha my bosses sweater had a tail on the side of her boob. How can you top that.

This Christmas.

2008-12-26T21:38:00.000-08:00

This is pretty much Rhett's and mine FIRST Christmas together. Last year when we were dating, Rhett's family went to New York to visit Rhett's oldest Brother and his family. When I got married to Rhett, I inherited a butt load of ornaments. I brought one box into our relationship, where he brought SIX. Haha. Here is our beautiful tree, that my mother donated to us. Rhett was a little sad because some of his ornaments needed to be plug into the lights..But with this FABULOUS tree we had fiber optic lights. So in a way I lucked out.. less boy ornaments. . As Rhett is reading this he is getting upset, and feels that I'm dogging on his ornaments. Lets just get this straight it's not that I'm dogging on them. He has a lot of them that I like a lot, there are just a lot of boy ones. Next year when his mom has a look at ornaments.. I need to make sure that we get some girl ones. haha. Needless to say, I'm very grateful to have the ornaments.

Pumpkin Carving..

2008-11-14T20:04:00.000-08:00

I just love Halloween, just because I get to carve Pumpkins, make a mess, and make really good pumpkin seeds. My pumpkin is on the left and Rhett's is on the right.. If you cant tell what his is its an haunted house, with bats and a moon.

See the mess I get to go through and pick all of the seeds out. Thats right I went through that entire bag of goop just to get the seeds.. Haha it took a few hours. But I love homeade pumpkin seeds.. Oh okay who am I kidding I love anything that I can add salt too.

As you can tell Rhett is very excited to carve his pumpkin. You see this is the first time that he has ever carved a pumpkin like this. He is used the old boring way.. you know triangle eyes and a circle nose and a crazy smile... Looks like this year he was the only one with a crazy smile. He went through the book, trying to decide on what picture to do. . Of course he picked the hardest one to do. I lied and told him it would be easy.. Heidi had to show him a few tricks on getting the tiny ones out...I wouldnt dare touch it.

HaPpY hAlLoWeEn!!!

2008-11-14T19:44:00.000-08:00

Happy halloween!!! I know, I know I'm a little behind on adding these. But, better late then never right? I work with these pretty ladies. Haha we had so much fun dressing up, we all became little kids again. I dont know if you can see but on the left side on the file cabinets are our homeade trick-or-treat bags. (LtoR) Rebecca H, Chealse H, Gia D, me, and Amanda T.

NACHO...... wait and Santa, and a greek goddess, and the Punisher... What a scary group.. Every year Rhett and his friends get together and go to IHOP on halloween. This year I was allowed to go... hahah and I inveted more girls.. Come on they need to hang out with more girls there getting old. Just kidding. So we were at Rhett's parents house, My in laws, and the guys kept answering the door. All of the kids were so excited to see Santa.. Then Rhett decided he wanted to start answering the door. Oh my.. okay they live in West Valley.. and there are a lot of hispanics there that just loved him.. They kept saying NACHOOOOO! He was getting a kick out it,who wouldnt.

Me and my sisters also like to dress up. This year Kristy dressed up as.................Madonna. Haha Poor her she kept asking everyone who she was and no one knew. But once we found out she totally looks the part..Except she is much prettier. Heidi and Amy were cats.. Or I should say Amy was Cat Women and Heidi was a Cat. Haha all in all we had a lot of fun.

Every year, My poor step mother makes us all a great Halloween dinner. We eat first and then take pictures and run to go Trick-or-treating. My Platt Family Halloween Picture. Okay not all of us dress up, but more then half of us do. All of my nieces and nephews except for 2 1/2.

Bridals

2008-11-14T18:47:00.000-08:00

So...like any other Bride you have to choose the most ecxiting and exotic place to do your bridals. I Chose the Salt Lake, Salt Flats. Since I got married in May, We had to take them in the freezing month of April. See I was just so cought up in the moment, with getting married. That I didnt think that taking pictures in the middle of April, outside, would be a problem. HAHAHA It was freezing and very windy.. I had to pin up my bangs just so they would stop blowing in my face. Not only was I getting my bangs in my face, I am on the Salt Flats... and whats on the ground.. you got it Salt. Uh I couldnt get my eyes to stop watering. My make-up was running. The photographer's husband(Rhett's cousin Cameron) just said that I was just so happy to be getting married,that I kept crying... haha. I wish.. All in All It was a very amazing experiance. If any of you out there want to do it at the salt flats.. just make sure that you go potty before you head out. You do not want to go in there Traveling Johns... aka Port-a Potties.

The Bjarnson Beginning

2008-07-08T21:34:00.000-07:00

Unknowing of the future developments, Tina Platt and Rhett Bjarnson agreed to a mutual friends request of a blind date. The forest setting created a bond between the two that never broke from then on. They saw each other numerous times after the canyon meeting. Tina even told a few fibs here and there to impress the handsome Rhett. They were always together the two, whether it was bowling, movie going, or restaurant dining, they could not get enough of each other. Rhett did not let any classic love cliche stop him from proposing to her on February 14, 2008, at the La Caille restuarant. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on May 17, 2008.
