Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow!



Man it started snowing Tuesday and hasn't stopped. No wait, yesterday it stopped but today it started again and hasn't stopped. The kids love it because they get to play in it, but me I just like staying at home where it's nice and warm! Hot Coco anyone?

Santa Claus is coming to Town!



So the funniest thing happened this last Sat.night. Jon's on the phone, and Maddy and I are in the bathroom getting her ready to take her nightly shower while I'm talking to her dad to find out flight info for next Sat. Anyhow, all of a sudden the doorbell rings, and we hear jingle bells and a "HO HO HO!". Maddy's eyes lite up, and I said "Maddy I think Santa is here." I went out to look and he was. So I got off the phone and tried to help Maddy get dressed again. She was so excited, and said " Mommy, is it really him!" She still to this day can't believe he came to her house. I told her he probably knew that she wasn't going to be here for Xmas so he made a special trip just for her. She felt so special, she couldn't even think of what she wanted when he asked. Once he left she had to call everyone. It was a great experience for all of us.

Grandma came to visit!


So my mom came to visit us this last week, and we all really enjoyed it. It went by fast and we didn't want her to leave but she had to go back to my dad and brothers. She really liked Orem, and said it was very beautiful. We are in the middle of mountains so the scenery is a plus. Hopefully more family can come next time since were easier to get to now.

The Beautiful Temple lights




This is the wonderful part of living here, we don't have to drive so far to Salt Lake anymore to see the beautiful lights at Temple Square.
It was great, we took the train, had hot chocolate and felt the spirit.

God only gives us what we can handle


It looks like I'm having one baby. We have to admit the thought of having twins sounding fun. But one is fine with us as long as it's healthy. We are grateful for whatever God gives us.

Memory Tag

Here's how it works:

1) Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2) Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Just for FUN!

Thanksgiving with Friends



Thanksgiving this year was a lot of fun. We didn't have any family come and see us but The Clarks are the closest thing to family we have here and for that we are very Thankful. Jon cooked the turkey and yams and they provided the rest. It was our very best friends Grant and Gabby and their kids Frankie and Drew. Grants Parents: Bob and Doreen and Grants brother and sister in law visiting from Vegas and their kids. So we had a house full which was great! We have never had a house full since weve been together, we always hoped for it with family and all but being so far away it was never possible. Maybe someday.

Avon here I come

So as some of you may know, we are trying to earn some extra money to help pay unwanted bills. So I decided to start selling AVON. So if I haven't contacted you already drop me an email at jtkmbayton@gmail.com and let me know if you'd like a catalog or maybe would like to look online www.avon.com. They've got really neat stuff and it would help us out a lot. Thanks.

Jon & Kate plus 5?

Yes I'm pleased to say I am pregnant. The blood test confirmed it. Jon and I are very happy to have children together. I'm about 4 weeks along and due July 31st.
My first ultrasound will be in a couple weeks and that will tell all on the twins. I'm hoping they give me a picture so I can scan it in and post it.

Am I aren't I?


You tell me. It looks positive to me, but we won't know for sure until I take a blood test tomorrow. This wait is sheer torture.
