Happy New Years Eve everyone! Can I just tell you how excited I am to find out what awaits us in 2013. I have a feeling it's going to be a great year! Jake and I sat down last night and made some goals for us as a little family. One of my goals was to actually have some goals! Haha. I'm already crossing that one off my list. I hope you all have a great time celebrating with family and friends. We are going to celebrate the new year Tangled style. 

My better half

Happy 24th birthday to my Mr Wright! You are the best husband, father and friend Evie and I could ask for. We hope you have a wonderful day full of all your favorites and we are going to celebrate your birthday all weekend long!

Evie and I think the world of you and are so glad we get to celebrate your birthday today. 

Happy Birthday!

Welcome to the hood...

Motherhood that is.

Yesterday was my first official Mother's Day! I don't know if any of you new mamma's feel like this, (or maybe it's just me) but I sometimes forget I am a mom. And it feels weird to say that I am a mom. Like I have a little girl. And I'm her mom. And she is my daughter. Weird right? Motherhood is still something new to me. I was telling my mom that I am getting small glimpses day by day on what it is like to be a mother. To take care of others before you even think about what you need. That you would do anything and everything for your little one. And that when you are completely exhausted from a hard days work and all you want to do is just sit down and sleep, you take care of your little one some more because you love them so much. Evelyn has started to smile quite a lot and I always tell Jake that no matter what stressful thing was bothering me before, as soon as I see that little smile I forget about it completely and smother her with kisses.

My first Mother's Day!

Anyways, Jake got up super early and made a wonderful breakfast for us and made sure that I didn't do a lick of work. It was fabulous. Then we spent Sunday morning with his family and then headed back down and spent the evening with my family. It was also Amie's 15th birthday which we celebrated and.....we got to skype with my brother! That was probably the highlight of our day. He looks so good and it was so fun to actually see him instead of just hear his voice. Boy do we all miss him.

He said he felt like he was playing Halo again with the headset!

Well I hope all you mother's, grandmother's, and soon to be mother's had a wonderful Mother's Day. Let me just say that I am so grateful for my own mother and my mother-in-law. I love them so much and this world would be a sad place without them.

Last week...

we celebrated my 23rd birthday! I don't know what it was about turning 23 that made me feel old for the first time. Maybe it's because I keep looking at our little girl and thinking "Wow...I am a mama!" Jake made me a cheesecake that we feasted on all week long. It was amazing. My dad usually was the one to make it every year for my birthday growing up but he has now passed that tradition onto Jake. I might have influenced Jake a little bit to make it his tradition now...! During the weekend, Jake and I were able to have a little date without our little girl. Let me just tell you it was the hardest thing for me not to call my mom every hour to make sure she was doing okay.

Jake and I both felt so guilty leaving her for some "us" time, however it was nice to get away. She sure got lots of attention from grandma, grandpa and all her aunts. Our date included going to the Draper temple to do a sealing session, shopping, and dinner at The Cheesecake factory (of course).

This was actually my first time eating dinner here. Usually I just come for the cheesecake! They pretty much have just about everything in their menu. I chose pasta and let me tell you it was amazing. 


A big thanks to my wonderful family for letting Jake and I go on a little date. 

What Are You Doing New Years Eve?

Jake and I are spending the evening with our awesome family members and some pretty cool cousins! Playing games, watching movies and eating lots of yummy junk food.

Oh and there will be some kissing involved too! Hope you all have a happy New Year!
