New Years Resolutions

One of my resolutions this year it to blog again. It has been far too long since I have posted or even been on here.

Just a little update on the Joyner Clan

Nick & I have now been married for 12 1/2 years! We have had our ups & downs but I wouldn't want to go through life without anyone else!

Nick has been working for almost 8 years, in February, with a wireless company in their customer service department.

Me, I am a stay at home mom to my 3 beautiful girls! I try to exercise & watch what I eat mostly to loose some weight but also to help me feel sane. I signed up with a wonderful company, Monat, about 6 months ago. They are an anti aging botanically based haircare company. I absolutely love their products! I am really trying hard to persue my dreams & earn enough money so that I can go to cosmetology school! If you would like a nice relaxing hair wash or some samples, if you live further away, I'd be more than happy to help you pamper yourself!

Rebekah is now 7 & in the 2nd grade. She currently goes to a dual immersion school that has French & English. She is doing awesome & loves her teachers!

Sarah is 4 years old! She is in preschool 2 days a week. She loves making friends with her classmates & adores her teacher!

Hannah is 18 mos old. She loves to play with her big sisters & her sisters love to make her laugh! And is now in nursery in church!

I will try to post again this week to let you know of the happenings we've had this past week. Just wanted to give a little brief update on our family now of 5!

First Swim Party!

For my nephew Jacob's birthday we went swimming. Even though it was in February we went to an inside pool & had a lot of fun. Rebekah was ok with it. She didn't seem scared just content.

I just love those piercing blue eyes!

6 mos old!

Just some fun pictures of Rebekah when she was 6 mos old! Nick loves the Baseball outfit. I thought it looked a little boyish but Nick told be just put a bow on her & it will look fine! I personally love the Harley Davidson clothes with the beanie & blanket.

Blog Update...Finally-Christmas 2010

Wow I can't believe that I haven't updated since before Christmas. I've been busy but also lazy. Here are some pics of our Christmas festivities!

Our family Christmas Pictures 2010!

Some cute pics of cute little Rebekah

September

In September we were able to get a lot of pics of extended family. So here they are!

The above pics where taken at Nick's Aunt Marlene's house. Nick's cousin Heather & her husband Bradley blessed their baby, Hailey, so we were able to see Nick's Aunt Maureen & Uncle Earl from South Carolina. Rebekah was able to meet her Great Grandma Joyner that was also here for the blessing. It was so good to see family for this happy occassion. It's crazy to think that Rebekah & Hailey are only a little over a month apart! Crazy!

This pic is of Rebekah, my Grandpa Carlson, Me & my Grandma Carlson. They were in town for my cousin Cindy's wedding. Let me just say I love generation pics!

Halloween

First of all I have to apologize for not updating in a very long. Time by the end of the day I am either too tired to even get on the internet or I have so many other things that I need to get done. So this has definately been on the back burner for a long time. Anyways...here are some adorable pics of Rebekah for Halloween. Hope you enjoy. And I'll try to be better about blogging.

Wow! I can't believe that it has been over 2 mos since our precious little girl joined our family. A lot has happened.

• Attended the ground breaking for the Brigham City temple on July 31, 2010
• Visited my Grandma Carlson in Idaho Falls on either August 7 or 14, 2010
• Rebekah had her first babysitter so that Nick & I could go to the temple. Thanks Chris & Elise! You guys are awesome!
• Grandma Joyner, Nick's mom, came out for a visit and for Rebekah's blessing. She came out on Aug. 27th & stayed till Sept 7th.
• Dora, Travis, Savannah, Tomas, Kristy & Jack all came out for the blessing. They all arrived on Sept. 2nd & stayed till Sept 6th.
• Little Rebekah was given a name & a blessing by her daddy! Thanks to all that could come! It really meant a lot to us to share that day with friends & family!
• Rebekah is now sleeping through the night & in her own crib!!!
• Had a girls night out with my sister Cami & my Mom & of course Rebekah! We went to the Brigham City Peach Queen pagant. It was a lot of fun. I haven't been in at least 5-7 years.
• Went to Peach Days in good ol Brigham City on Sept. 10th & 11th.

Now for some pics. Nick is really good at taking pics of our little girl. It seems lately that I am just loosing my mind trying to take care of 3 babies. Hopefully I will never have triplets. If so I might need to be admitted to the hospital.

Here's Rebekah a little over a month old. They were taken on 8-11-2010. I loved this outfit on her & now it's too small. It makes me sad that I already had to pack her newborn clothes away. The Harley Davidson blanket was given to me by my brother Dave & sis in law Ashley. I love it!

Rebekah started smiling when she was about a month and a half old. Now she is cooing & sometimes giggling! I just love being her mommy!

One cutie pututie!

This is how we found her one morning (about a month & a half old). She got her arm out of her pajamas through the neck hole. Crazy little girl!

This is my Grandma & Grandpa Anderson. My Mom's parents.

Four generation picture! My grandma Anderson, Rebekah, me & my Mom.

Our cute little strawberry! One of my Mother in law's co workers made this. I just love it!
