Kurt and Whitney Marchant

Prego Talk

2012-01-27T12:27:00.000-08:00

Well we are having a boy folks. And i'm pretty dang excited about it! I have to admit I honestly thought it was a girl. I really did. But it is the season of boys I guess. I know, including myself, at least seven people that are having boys. One of them is Kurt's cousin Mindy and she is having twin boys. My sister-in-law, Laney, is having a boy at the beginning of April and i'm so happy that our little guys will be best buddies. I can't wait to hear them play together and do fun boy things together. I love it.

Our baby already got his first present from grandma Soper (my mom).

Of course it's books! For those of you that don't know, my mom has been a teacher for like twenty years (or somewhere around there) and is now the principal of Manti Elementary. She couldn't help buying books for our little one.

As far as cravings go I don't really crave anything. But when I have a choice I prefer:

- anything sour like Sour Patch Kids and Watermelons, Sour Straws, Sour Gummy worms, which is weird because i'm a chocolate nut and I really haven't wanted any chocolate.

-pizza

-chocolate milk

-cherry popsicles

-Cafe Rio pork burritos. I had that the other day and I can't stop thinking about it :)

I know healthy right. Luckily I don't CRAVE these things and don't have to have them 24/7.

I started doing pregnancy yoga the second week in January and I seriously love it. My sister gave it to me for Christmas and I totally recommend doing it if you're pregnant. I had never done yoga before so I was a little hesitant but I've come to really like it. I had to get past the, "lift your belly sweetly" kind of sayings. I don't even know how I would do that! The instructor is really good though. She is one of the founders of a huge yoga place in New York.

photo from here and you also buy it there too.

I've read that yoga is one of the best ways to exercise when you're prego, it helps you with your endurance during labor, it helps keep you tone and flexible, it's relaxing, and this one is specifically for pregnant people so it can't harm your baby. I've done for two weeks and I already feel like I can do it with ease. It's awesome you should try it. It's for post pregnancy too. BONUS.

One last thing-- I pee all the time. And I know you're saying, "oh well that is normal for someone pregnant to pee a lot" but I kid you not I think my child is located right on my bladder. I will go at night, lay back down, and have to get up and go again five minutes later. Then repeat that like seven times! Uh it's annoying. It's all for the little guy I guess.

Well sorry to bore you about all that stuff. I promise I won't only blog about my pregnancy unless something really exciting happens. We are excited that our family is growing though :)

Kent

2012-01-16T17:50:00.000-08:00

Kent this post is just for you! For those of you who don't know Kent, he is my brother in law. He is two years older than Kurt. I would go say check out his awesome family's blog but it's private.

In my post below I wrote, "thanks to President Obama I was able to get on my mom's insurance and go to the Dr.". Well of course, automatically, he thinks I'm a democrat now and a Obama follower. That is not the case. I forgot to mention that this was the only good thing Obama has done since he's been in office and I will not be voting for him in the next election. Kent, I hope this clarifies things a little. :)

Ok he's really not that creepy. Here is a normal picture of him. He's going to dental school in Boston. Go Romney. We miss his family everyday!

Changing Things Up

2012-01-15T18:47:00.000-08:00

Hey guys good news. My computer is fixed! But sadly, we still don't have internet at our apartment. That still makes updating the blog a little tricky but at least I have my laptop back. And a new camera. It's nothing fancy just a point and shoot but it gets the job done. Don't mind the ugly header up top, i'm working on it.

Well, Kurt and I, we are changing things up in our little world. The first big change was moving to Logan. I still don't know how I feel about it up here. It's cold, I don't have friends or a job, we live in a basement with nosy neighbors upstairs, and we are far away from either of our families. On the other hand I get to spend a lot of time with Kurt when he's not a school or doing homework, I will start subbing and applying for jobs here shortly (which will hopefully lead to some new friends) and we have an awesome ward with the nicest people making a huge effort to get to know us.

Change number two: I am done with school. Which is pretty freaking awesome. I'm a teacher. I finished my student teaching in November at Iron Springs elementary in Cedar City.

I lived with a friend of mine whose husband was deployed to Iraq. I played the role of nanny while living with them, and they even took me to Disneyland where I inherited the name Fran the Nan.

Back to student teaching. My first placement was in 3rd grade. I was with these students from the second week of school and those kids have my heart. I love that class. My teacher was amazing and I cried the whole way home on my last day with them. They changed my life. Dramatic, but it's the truth. My second placement was in 5th grade. These circumstances intimidated me a bit. There were 33 students in the class, they were all taller than me, and they were learning about erosion, mechanical weathering and other hard concepts that I haven't thought about for a long, long time. Nonetheless, I looked those sassy kids in the eye and told them who was boss. It was fun to tease with them and be sarcastic but I didn't feel the same connection with them as I did the third graders. My mentor teacher in this 5th grade class was outstanding and could manage a classroom like you couldn't believe. I was truly blessed with my placements and each teacher/class taught me so much.

Here are some pictures of the 3rd grade class I was in. While I was with them I taught a science unit on living and non living organisms for my student teaching requirements and we made these awesome murals. Here are just a few pictures of the kids working on the murals and a finished product. I'm so sad I didn't get a picture of the fifth grade class on my last day because it was a really busy and crazy day. If I ever get one I will post it.

Change tres: I'm going to have a baby! I'm sure many of you already know this but this is a big change in our lives and I'm super excited about it. I'll be 18 weeks this coming week and we find out what we're having on January 27th. Due June 19. We had been trying to have a baby for two years and I was getting worried that something was wrong with me. We didn't have health insurance so we couldn't afford to get things checked out. Well, thanks to Obama, I was able to get back on my mom's insurance in October and I finally went to see my lady Dr. to see what was wrong with me. After I piddled in a cup, she comes waltzing in the room with a grin on her face and says, "It doesn't get clearer than that (pointing to the test)you're pregnant". I told her she was lying and I didn't believe her. She laughed and said, "It didn't even take a minute to show two, very dark lines. You're pregnant Whitney." I still didn't believe her and made her take another test. Yes she did two tests on me! She laughed and thought I was crazy but she did it anyway since I was in denial. Sure enough there is a little nugget in there and I can hardly wait to find out what it is.

Change four: 2011-2012. The year has changed and it's going to be a good one.

So that is how we've changed things up these past few months and I know these changes are all for the best.

Here are a couple more pictures of our fall and winter:

September: Taylor Swift concert with these fine gals. Our seats weren't great but it was an awesome concert.

BYU game with Luke and Janae. Luke and Kurt have been friends since they were little and we love hanging out with them.

October: A little bit of Disney :)

Skip Novemeber

December: It's tradition to play Life, and for Karen to lose, every time we get together. Good times

I didn't take many pictures in Manti during Christmas and I hate that. But here are some of my family in August for Ashley's birthday. My dad's braces are off and Sienna is a lot bigger than she is here but I love my family and I want to post these.

Aren't my mom and sister-in-law stunning. Tay is pretty cute too I guess :)

She was born to ride that saddle.

If any of you know a better way to load pictures onto your blog fill me in because these pictures kinda look crappy!

Oh Hey

2011-09-29T12:30:00.000-07:00

This may come as a surprise to some people but I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I'm still alive, crazy, I know. I haven't posted for so long I doubt anyone still reads this. I don't blame you. So this will just be a post for me. I did a lot of fun things this summer like:
- going to Lake Powell twice
-a trip to Durango/Silverton, Colorado with my grandparents and oldest cousin. We rode the cutest/oldest train ever,
-New Mexcio for the the 4th of July with my parents. We sand Neil Diamond kareoke (sp?) with the whole town (all 30 of them) and showed my dad's aunt and her family we can have fun without getting drunk
-24th of July with Kurt's family hiking, eating, and enjoying warm nights in Beaver out on the porch
-and spending time with my cute husband any chance I could while he was home from a fire

But i'm not going to post all of those things because we are approaching October and I need to start posting things that are happening now. Kurt is living in Logan while i'm living in Cedar. I miss him so much throughout the week but have I mentioned how much I LOVE teaching.

Sidenote: I think student teaching is kind of cruel. They make you get attached to 26 kids for 30 days rip you from that class and put you with 30 new kids to get attached to. Then rip you from those kids 30 days later. Rude.

My 3rd grade class is so precious and I have loved teaching them everyday. I'm so glad I decided to become a teacher. Pat on the back for me :) I've also missed living in Cedar. I would be ok with settling there when all is said and done and raising my family in that cute town.

Fall is here and I'm loving it. Football, colored leaves, pumpkins, sweaters and boots, corn mazes, and Halloween. Fall comes in at a close second to summer when it comes to my favorite seasons. You better believe Kurt and I are going on a fourwheeler ride up Manti Canyon to see the leaves changing. It will be fun to experience Logan in the fall too. It's so pretty in the summer I bet it is equally breathtaking in the fall. Logan is ok I guess. If it wasn't so blasted far from both our families it would be better. I do like our apartment, our ward and all the shopping so it will do for now. Well those of you that are reading this (if there is anyone) thank you for checkin up on us and reading this post. I'm sure you have better things to do so thank you. Here are a couple pictures of our summer.

Lake Powell

Colorado

My cousin Kimmy next to the cute train that I took 8 million pictures. Notice the cute conductor as well.

New Mexico visiting my great uncle Chuck and great Aunt Jean for the 4th of July

This is how it's done in the country. It's called a pitch fork fry. I thought they were kidding.

Beaver Mountain

*I regret to inform you that I, sadly, did not take any picutures of the 24th of July. This is a very sad and deeply troubling thing.

Dream on.

2011-06-01T18:57:00.000-07:00

If anyone wants to buy this ring for me they can. It's only $81.67. For a ring? Get real people. Gosh i'm obsessed with it though! It's just a little on the pricey side. A lottle actually. So I will just look at and wish it was mine.

Go here to see more cute stuff

Love it...

2011-05-16T21:43:00.000-07:00

This WiLL be in my house someday. Saw this on my friends facebook. Stole it. Blogged it. Love it.

Alone again...

2011-05-09T08:59:00.000-07:00

But not for long! Kurt has started the forest service again today. Which means i'm left home alone to pack. Pack? Yes. We are moving to Beaver for the summer to save money. I've had mixed feelings about moving there only because Kurt will be on fires all summer and I don't really know anyone in Beaver so i'll be alone a lot. But I've decided that it will be OK. I'm getting a job there, don't know where yet, but I am. Then come fall, back to Cedar I go, and clear up to Logan Kurt goes. Kurt is transferring to Utah State to finish his engineering degree there. USU supposedly has the best engineering program in the state so i'm happy for him. I, on the other hand, will be finishing my degree in Cedar. I'm student teaching at Iron Springs elementary in third and fifth grade classes. I originally wanted to student teach in Logan but I was discouraged to do so by a grumpy professor at SUU. He said USU doesn't like us in their territory. WHATEV. It'll only be for 60 days so I think we can handle it. Which means i'm moving to Logan at the beginning of winter. Don't know how I feel about that. It will definitely take some getting used to. Everyone we've talked to has LOVED living in Logan so that is a comfort. I'm excited to start a new adventure. As for now our summer will consist of, some fires (hopefully), a job for me, Lake Powell, The Little Mermaid at Tuachan (i'm stoked), many visits to Manti, maybe some camping here and there, some hiking, and whatever else we decide to do. I love summer. This is where we were last summer around this time...

This, my friends, is a little place I like to call Hawaii. I wish I was there. Well, that's all for now! Have a good day. I found this picture of us when we were dating. Thought I would share it. This was my first trip to Cedar to see Kurt.

Easter

2011-05-03T23:45:00.000-07:00

Easter had a more significant meaning for me this year because Kurt helped me more fully understand our Savior, Jesus Christ's, atoning sacrifice. I know that i'm 22 and your thinking, "wow I understood that in primary", but I've always felt like the atonement was too enormous to fully comprehend. On the drive to Manti Kurt and I had a heartfelt discussion about the atonement and he explained it to me in simple terms so I could understand. I am so grateful for for Kurt, and for my Savior.

Now on to the egg coloring cuz that's pretty much all we did!

We had two easter egg coloring sessions. The first was with a group of our neighbors here in Cedar. We do a game night every now and then. Since everyone is moving away we decided to have a fun night coloring eggs and playing games for the last time.

These are mine. The all pink one is sparkly!

This is Kurt's. It is sparkly also.

Then there was more egg coloring in the Soper household.

And this cute Bug decided to join/help us!

Laney had never colored eggs before. She thought we were going to paint them with actual paint! She loved it even though it doesn't look like it in this picture. :)

Of course Kurt and Austin have to be inappropriate with the eggs. That would be Austin's finger pointing in case you were wondering.

Don't mind Kurt with his eyes closed! Austin thought his egg won, but mine were so much cooler.

Hope everyone had a good Easter!

Fun Fact: On Sunday we went to church with my parents and in sacrament meeting this returned missionary said "um" 327 times. This is no joke. Kurt kept a tally. Is that mean? I'm sure he is a really nice young man who touched a lot a lives but 327? He had a box of "ums" for breakfast for sure!

Stand Out, Above the crowd...

2011-04-14T21:18:00.000-07:00

Even if I gotta shout out loud! In case you didn't know that is from the Goofy Movie. An all time favorite of mine. Back to the title. Standing out is exactly what this beauty did. While I was in the blogging mood, I decided to give a shout out to my pretty little sister who is the newest member of the Snow College Ambassadors. They chose ten out of three hundred applicants and it doesn't surprise me, one bit, that she is one of the ten. There are two interviews. The first is just a one-on-one interview (probably making sure you not psycho or something like that), and the second interview is full of skits,games, and craziness with a group of other kids trying-out. Some the things they look for in an ambassador are, a people person, outgoing, fun, cute, a good leader, fun ideas, and not afraid to try anything new. Ashley is all of the above. Did I mention they get a two year scholarship? Pretty sweet deal! She is going to make so many friends and have so much fun. I'm so proud of her and I can truely say she is my best friend. Anyone who gets a campus tour by this chica is super duper lucky. Love you Smash.

A Beautiful Blessing

2011-04-14T20:45:00.000-07:00

We also went to California to see Kelli, Kurt's sister, and her husband bless their darling little boy Braxzyn. Isn't he precious?

Kelli asked Kurt to bless Braxzyn and he was so honored and touched. Kurt gave him a beautiful blessing and the spirit touched me as this baby boy was blessed with a sound mind, heart and testimony. Baby blessings are so special to me and I can't wait until Kurt can bless our own baby someday. We love this cute little family Fletcher family. Thank you Kelli for letting us be a part of Braxzyn's special day.

I got these pictures from Kelli :)

There was this one time...

2011-04-11T21:12:00.000-07:00

...When Kurt and I went to San Francisco

We saw this sweet little one

And this tough little guy.

We went here

And had this delicious little treat.

She liked it too :)

He was not happy to go shopping. But I sure was!(Don't mind my nasty, nappy rained out hair)

It's a good thing she was there to keep him happy.

We did some of this.

I fell once doing this....but finally got it.

It's a good thing we're both weird...

....and awkward????

You better believe I stopped to kiss him

oh and this was how the drive was...THE ENTIRE TIME

I sure do love them

I'm glad I got to share it all with this cute guy :)

March-I like it

2011-03-01T20:54:00.000-08:00

I like March for a couple of reasons...

-Spring Break
-My Birthday
-My Grandpa's birthday (which is the same day as mine)
-Kurt's Birthday
-Austin's Birthday( There are a lot of birthday's in March in both Soper and Marchant families)
-Last teaching practicum (in Price)
-The finale of the Bachelor
-Spring is here and everything turns green again
-Summer is around the corner and school is almost out

I love Birthdays and I loved it today when my friend Allison and I were substituting a 6th grade class she realized it was the first day of March and she said...

I really loved it and I got really excited. I love that she said it even though my birthday is 21 days away. Did I mention that mine and Kurt's Birthday are TWO days apart? That makes for excellent birthday fun! Oh and another fun fact for the day, i'll be 22 on the 22nd. Yeah. How often does that happen? Only once for me :).

I have mixed feelings about this teaching practicum in Price. I'm terrified because one day i'm teaching kindergarten and the next day i'm teaching 5th grade. Can you say complete opposites? I'm excited because my group of friends and I are staying in a hotel for the whole week. These girls are so fun! There are 5 of us and it will be crowded but pretty darn fun. And i'll be sad because i'll leave Kurt here for a week. It's crazy to think we have already come to our last teaching practicum. It's gone by so fast and before I know it i'll be student teaching!

I really LOVE March! Happy Birthday to Kurt, Me and anyone else who has a birthday in the wonderful month of March!!!

Spring Semester: The end is near.

2011-01-20T16:46:00.000-08:00

I know. Intense title. I just wanted to express my gratitude on how close I am to being done. I have a total of TWO semesters left. This one, which is the Elementary Education BLOCK, and then STUDENT TEACHING in the fall. The end is near people. The end is near. I'm very nervous because I am teaching for a full day, by myself, in a 4th grade classroom, for the first time, on Monday, at Hurricane Elementary School. Did I mention I am going to be by myself. I'm kind of freaking out. Hopefully those kids don't eat me alive. I guess we'll see if I want to change my major by the end of all of this. Luckily I have amazing people to help me (like my cousin Kimmie and my mom), and some amazing friends in the Block with me. You can just call me Mrs. Marchant. AH!

Probably should tell you a little about Kurt. He is super duper busy as well. I think he has 12 math classes 13 engineering classes and 40 more math classes. He also has two jobs and a calling as the 2nd counselor in a singles ward bishopric. He is amazing. Just saying. He is so busy and still finds time to hang out with me. We will be transferring to Utah State in the fall. I'm so sad about it because I love Cedar City. I have heard from everyone that has lived in Logan that they love it. So I guess it's good to start a new adventure. We really want a baby but we know it will happen whenever it happens. We're pretty optimistic about it :)

Well this is us for now.

Delta Competition-Mohey Tawa

2010-12-06T14:37:00.001-08:00

We had our first competition on Decemember 4th in Delta. It was a crazy and hectic day because there weren't a lot of teams there so we had to hurry after each dance to get ready for the next one. It was so fun and nerve racking to see the girls out on the floor for the first time in full makeup and costume. Gosh they looked so cute. They did so amazing. We still have a long ways to go to get ready for state but we are gonna work hard. The boy in the middle is our biggest fan. His name is Garth. He painted his face and made a cape that says Mohey's #1 fan. He is so cute. We had great support from friends and family! I'm so excited for the next competition. It's at Jordan High School on the 18 of December so come support Mohey Tawa!

Mohey Tawa-1st place in lyrical, 1st place in military, 2nd place in dance, 2nd in kick, 1st overall in 3A and won the sweepstakes (most points won out of all the teams combined at the competition). I just LOVE these girls.

Scroll Down-there's another post. Woo hoo two in one day!

A Little Behind!

2010-12-06T13:18:00.000-08:00

I know i'm a little behind on the blogging gig but I left my camera in Manti when I went home for Halloween and I haven't been home since. My mom finally brought it to me. She is the greatest. Anyways-I wanted to share these really fun cupcakes that I made for the girls I visit teach. I found out about them from my friend Alesha. Our group for one of my classes made them and gave them out the day of our presentation. Here are the ones I made:

I made Halloween ones but you could really do any color for any holiday. Aren't they so cute? I think so. They are super easy. If you want to know how to make them just ask me and I will give it to ya.

For Thanksgiving we got to see both families! Wednesday, Thursday and a part of Friday we spent in Panguitch with the Soper clan. Wednesday my cousin Kimmy had a corn dog party for us. It's an annual thing where we eat corn dogs and do fun corn dog things. Thursday was of course the beautiful Thanksgiving feast and the annual Wii bowling tournament. In the championship it was Austin, Taylor, it was either Kurt or Adam (I can't remember) and Grandpa Jack. Yeah he is a rock star. Taylor won. Whatever. This is a typical scence of the Soper Wii tournament.

This was taken awhile ago and I stole this from Tone. It's a good time :)

Friday afternoon we headed to Beaver to hang with the Beaver clan. Krstin, Scott and their kids were they only family there and we had a lot of fun. We went shopping here:

And here:

I bought a bunch of new ornaments for our tree! I love Tai Pan. They have the best prices and the cutest stuff. This place gets me in trouble! We cut down our tree in Beaver. I'm so picky because I had never cut down a tree til I met Kurt. My mom always had a fake tree. So I'm used to the perfect tree and that is what I look for. Kurt gets frustrated with me but he'll get over it. Here is Kurt cutting down our tree!

Looking for the perfect tree!

Kurt cutting the tree. He actually found it! Not me!

Our tree! It's a little bigger than I planned but it looks really good.

The boys throwing snow balls at me. You can't see my because i'm hiding.

The whole Christmas tree crew!

We had a blast seeing both families playing games, laughing at Kurt, doing the worst puzzle known to man with Scott and Kristin, and eating good food. We love the holidays!

Cubby

2010-10-17T10:28:00.000-07:00

I know some of you are going to think I'm totally crazy that i'm blogging about a dog. But this dog was a part of our family. This blog post is mostly for me to remember all that I can about Cubby so don't feel obligated to read this.

We got Cubby when we first moved to Manti.I was thirteen. He was the cutest chubby little chocolate lab we had ever seen.There were a lot of names considered but my dad decided Cubby was best because he looked like a bear cub. He came to us in the winter of that year so my mom said he could sleep in the house so he wouldn't freeze. Well from then on he was an inside dog and he was with us for everything. I can remember every Christmas morning he would always be in the room with us opening our presents and chewing up wrapping paper. In high school, every time I would come home for lunch I could hear Cubby running down the hallway to greet me and to share whatever I was eating for lunch that day.He was there to greet everyone who came home no matter who it was.If he didn't, you knew there was something wrong. Those of you that know or have seen Cubby, know that he was a big dog and by big I mean tall and fat! He looked a little imtimidating but he was just like a big teddy bear. He wouldn't hurt a fly. My dad would take him walking in the mornings to shed a few pounds and he would get so sore and stiff. But he loved my dad so he would get excited when anyone would say "Wanna go walking?". Another thing I remember about Cubby is he slept on my parents bedroom floor. Their room was right above mine and every night I could hear Cubby snoring. At first I thought it was my dad but later on I realized it was Cubby. I thought it was so funny. He had personality just like a human. Whenever Ashley or Taylor would practice the piano he would start howling and it was like he was singing.Anytime you sit down at the kitchen table to talk with someone he would moazy on over stick his head between your knees and wouldn't leave til you scratched his ears. Then he would plop on your feet.On Sunday nights as a family, we would gather in the dining room and kitchen to talk, snack on some dessert or play a game. While doing this someone would lay on the floor and Cubby being the huge dog that he was, would lay right on top of you, lengthwise,so his head would be right in your face. He would put his giant head on your chest and just lay there. He loved to be close to us, as close as possible. When the home teachers would come over, he would be in the room with the family,at someones feet,listening to the church message that they had prepared.

Cubby was there for every Birthday, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, New Years, Father's Day, Mother's Day, 4th of July, Hunting Trip/Camping trip, breakfast,lunch and dinner. He was there when I would wakeup and when I went to sleep. He was there for every party we had with friends. All of our friends loved him. He knew when we were sad and would cuddle up to us when we cried. He would get excited when we were happy and break up fights when we fought with each other. He couldn't wait for us to get home anytime we left for a vacation or a weekend trip and we hated leaving him. I think we called my grandma's almost everyday to check on him when we were in Hawaii last summer.
The thing I remember most about Cubby is that he loved my dad. He followed my dad everywhere.Cubby would get so excited to see my dad, everytime he would come home.He loved spending every possible moment with my dad from riding in the truck,lighting the fireworks, hunting, fishing, to watching t.v and sleeping.Cubby was the most patient, playful, and loving dog I've ever had. He died last night at 11:00pm. He loved my family so much that before he died he held on a little longer to see them one last time before he took his last breath.They came home and found him distorted on the living room floor, he took three last breaths then died.The last time I saw him he had a bad infection in his leg and he had lost half his weight but we thought he had more time. I feel like I have lost not only a dog, but a friend and a family memeber. I will miss you forever Cubby and I will always love you.

Pictures I had to Blog

2010-10-16T09:56:00.000-07:00

I may be bias but I think I have the cutest family EVER. My niece Sienna is the cutest,fattest baby ever. I love to squeeze every time I see her. I just had to blog these pictures of her. My brother and his wife just got some family pictures done and they are so beautiful. I love my family!

Really? It doesn't get cuter than that!

After our wonderful break in July I'm jumping right back into Mohey Tawa and we are getting ready for the school year and the football and competition season. I absolutely love these girls. They are so much fun and man can they dance. I love being their assistant advisor and I'm excited to get to know these girls more. 5:30 in the morning is a little early but its worth it to see these girls come every morning and do what they love with good attitudes. I know i'm going to learn a lot from them.

Our team at camp. We slept in the gym for a couple of nights. Yes Talisa and I slept in the gym with them. It was actually pretty fun!

Before the parade. Talisa and I are on the end on the right.

Pearl Harbor

2010-06-28T08:54:00.000-07:00

We went to Pearl Harbor the last day in Hawaii. I was really excited to see the Arizona down in the water.When we got there we found out that they only sell so many tickets for the boat ride out there and the tickets were sold out by 10:00. We got there at 11:00. Lame. I was so sad. We decided to go on the USS Missouri which is a ship that was struck during the Pearl Harbor attack but didn't sink. They were able to repair it and it was the ship that the Japanese surrendered on. It was HUGE! Huge is an understatement. This thing was massive. It was really fascinating and it really hit home to actually be there and think about everything that happened that day. It is amazing that we have a place where we can honor those men and women that died that day.

Pictures coming soon..

2010-06-24T11:35:00.000-07:00

Our pictures from Hawaii are coming soon I promise. I took a bunch and my dad took even more so i'm waiting for him to send them to me. It truely is paradise there and I wanted to live there. Kurt was like a little kid playing on the beach everyday and swimming in the condo pool. We had so much fun and it was the perfect way to start off our summer. A few things have changed for us and this summer will be busy. Kurt was called to be the 2nd Counselor in the Bishopric for the University 24th ward. Which is a singles ward. It was actually the ward we were in when we were engaged and getting ready to be married. I'm not thrilled to be back in a singles ward but i'm happy for Kurt. The stake president told him that it will prepare him for significant callings in the future and it will give him a taste of how a bishopric runs things. He is very nervous but I know he will get along great with the students in the ward. He is their same age and will be able to relate with them and I know they will just love him. How could you not love Kurt? I am staying busy helping coach the Cedar High drill team. We just finished our summer dance camp and I will post some pictures of our team. They sure can dance and they are all so beautiful. We will finish out June with regular practice, take a break for the month of July, then jump back in full swing come August to get ready for football season which I love. I will be quitting Wingers in August because coaching those drill team gals will consume most of my time and I will continue going to school as well. I will miss all my friends at Wingers. I've worked there for 2 years and have made some good friends there that I will never forget! Kurt will be working hard this summer for the forest service while living in Beaver during the week. I miss him when he's not here but we have so much fun when he comes home. He's ready for some fires so if anyone wants to go start a few.... JOKE don't do that! That is our crazy lives right now and I love it. I love here it here in Cedar City and excited for summer. Lake Powell here I come!

I will overload this blog with some pictures so be ready for it :)

Rice a Roni...The San Francisco Treat!

2010-04-05T15:43:00.000-07:00

I had that song in my head the whole time Kurt and I were in San Francisco for spring break. And Kurt's thing was, every time we passed a cow he would say, "Happy cows come from California..." yeah we are so nerdy. We had so much fun in California with Kevin and Robyn and Kassidy. When we got there on Wednesday Kassidy was a little nervous around Kurt but was comfortable with me immediately. She soon warmed up and we all had to call him beast for the entire trip. She is obsessed with princesses and she insists on being called Belle, or Sleeping Beauty (it depends on the day). So she dubbed Kurt beast (off of Beauty and the beast) Robyn was dragon (off of Sleeping Beauty) Kevin was Prince and I was just Whitney. So stinkin' cute. Thursday was a day full of shopping, visiting the Jelly Belly factory and relaxing. It was really nice after an 11 hour drive the day before and having to hear Kurt say Happy cows come from California over and over and not to mention our GPS was taking us in circles so we were ready to kill each other by the time we got there.
The Jelly Belly factory was really cool. We did a tour and got to see how they make the Jelly Belly's. OH and as for pictures go, either Kurt lost the camera or we forgot it for most of the trip so thanks to wonderful Robyn she took some pictures for us. But I'll post what we do have for right now until I get the other ones from Robyn. LOVE you Robyn!-Anyways, we ate Jelly Belly's the entire trip, they were delicious! Friday we went to San Francisco, drove over the Golden Gate Bridge, went to the beach, and Pier 39. Such a fun day. The water was freezing so we didn't swim but we had a little picnic and searched for sea glass.
We took some pictures at this spot on Robyn's camera so I will post those later. But the whole time we were in San Francisco I thought of the show Full House haha. I'm a little ridiculous. The bridge costs $7 a car to drive across it. They are making bank off that sucker. Kurt was disgusted that the State of California was so far in debt even though they charge an arm and a leg for everything.
This is how all of the streets are in San Fran. I kinda sorta loved it because it was so different and just how I pictured it but everyone else wasn't a fan. Kurt stated numerous times that he could never live there

This is Pier 39. A really touristy place of San Fran. but so fun. There were all these little shops and places to eat. There was a harbor and you could see the Golden Gate Bridge. Really just a fun little pier. There was a place were sea lions all gathered and hung out but there wasn't a lot so we didn't take any pictures. So Friday was really fun and we had a good time. Saturday March 20th was Kurt's 24th birthday so we went to six flags. Kassidy loves all of the animals and we heard about Shouka all week. This is Shouka.

There was also a dolphin and sea lion show so it was really eventful going from one show to the next. Then we went on some rides. Kurt and Kevin were so nervous but I was so EXCITED. I love roller coasters. This one was my favorite.I don't really know how to explain it but it was so much fun. After Kurt and I had our fun on the rides, we found Robyn, Kass and Kevin. Since Robyn is pregnant she couldn't go on any rides so we found her and Kass and took Kass on some rides. She was really nervous but loved it. After all our Six Flag fun we went home for some cake and ice cream. Sunday we headed home and on our way home we were driving down what is called the loniest rode. Seriously there was absolutely nothing for miles. Kurt just happened to pass the only cop on that rode going 87 so he got pulled over and slapped with a ticket. Luckily the guy was nice and only gave him a ticket for five over. So besides the ticket we had so much fun with Kevin, Robyn and Kassidy and had a nice vacation away from school and work.

Riding Thomas the Train. Kassidy's favorite ride!

Who really sucks at blogging??? THIS GIRL

2010-03-14T22:20:00.000-07:00

But i'm going to do better. I know that I say that every time I update my blog but I really mean it this time. January and February were eventful months for us and we are only getting busier as the days go by. January 1st was my dad's birthday. We went home and spent the holiday with him and the rest of my family. Then on the 22nd I threw a bridal shower for my best friend Aubrey who got married on the 29th. I was the Maid of Honor. I had to give a little speech at the lunch and not only was I scared to death but I cried. How embarrassing. In the meantime Kurt was busy studying for Calculus III, refereeing wrestling in Cedar, St. George and Delta. He's been ice fishing a couple times but hasn't had any luck there. We both are staying busy with our church calling and I'm still working at Wingers. In February my sister-in-law Laney had her baby girl on the 16th. She is such a sweet little girl and they named her Sienna. Then just recently my sister Ashley had her Jr. Prom. She went on her date with one of her good friends Tiancum Famui. He is a polynesian and luckily I was there to help her get ready and watch her dance in the promenade. She is such a gorgeous girl and is one of my best friends. She was crowned 1st attendant for the prom royalty. The prom queen was a mentally disabled girl who is socially challenged and I thought that it was really sweet that her class voted her as prom queen. I was so proud of her. Her classmates look up to Ashley a lot and she sets a good example for them. She was a part of the prom committee and my mom said that everyone came to Ash when they had a question or needed a opinion on something. Anyways here are some pictures of Aub's wedding, Sienna and Ashley's prom.

She told everyone her sneaks were silky high tops so they are fancy sneakers

Her Gorgeous dress. I loved it.

The parentals

My favorite pictures of her!

Kurt ringing the kissing bell....they kissed a lot because of him.

Christmas!

2010-01-10T17:32:00.001-08:00

For Christmas this year we spent the majority of the time in Beaver. It was so much fun seeing all of Kurt's brothers and sisters all together cuz that almost never happens. It was a mad house with all the people there and my first Christmas not being with my family but we had a good time and we were definetly spoiled. I told Kurt we need to enjoy it why we can because when we start having kids they will be the ones being spoiled and we will be forgotten! Thanks to Robyn and Kevin being on the ball and taking pictures, I stole some pictures from her blog. We wore our onsies that my parents got us for Christmas and they were a hit.

Karen gave all of the grandkids Pj's on Christmas eve and wanted a picure of all of them together. Since Kurt and I are the only ones that don't have kids we were in the picture too with out PJ's on ready for bed and waiting for santa to visit our house!

Can you find us???? 20 nieces and nephews with two more on the way! I'm so excited for Kevin and Robyn and Kristin and Scott!

Then on Sunday baby Kamdon was blessed by his daddy Kent in Richfield. What a great Christmas for us and we miss all of our family already. Maybe if Kurt and I have a baby everyone will come back and see us for the blessing haha.

Kevin, Kent, Kamdon, Kurt

Kurt and I got family pictures done this year if that is what you call us haha to me they kind of look like another round of engagements. Anyway I love most of them minus two or three. Kurt only likes one cause he thinks he looks fat in all of them. WHATEVER. I think he looks great. Overall i'm pleased with them! The girl that did them has family here in Cedar she comes here quite often and so we did most of them here on SUU's campus. I know I only post once in a blue moon and a major part of that is we don't have a camera. So for Christmas we are getting a camera and that will be so nice to be able to actually take pictures. Another reason is that we didn't have internet, but we do now, yay, so with a new camera and internet you'll be hearing a lot more from Kurt and I.

These first two aren't favorites but I payed for them so you get to look at em :)

This one is my mom's favorite in case you were wondering which one was her favorite

I'll Never Forget You Patricia Rogers

2009-09-28T19:23:00.000-07:00

Patricia Rogers
December 13, 1988-September 21, 2009
(I stole this picture from her Facebook I hope she doesn't mind)

So this post is dedicated to my good friend Patricia Rogers. She passed away on September 21, 2009 at the age of 20.Patricia was in a car accident in Nephi Canyon. She was in a head on collision and her head injuries were too bad to bring her back. Patricia and I grew up dancing together. I first met her when I moved to Manti and we were in Mrs. Rasmusson's fourth grade class together. Later that year I joined a dance group directed by Kathleen Pili and there was a bunch of Manti girls that would carpool together me, Kayla Barclay, Tricia Rogers, Felicity Miller, Aubrey Tibbs, Christine Cox, Hannah Dettinger and Bekah Armstrong. We had so much fun all those years dancing together. Tricia and I were on the Manti drill team together with a bunch of those other girls we danced with when we were younger. Our Senior year we had nine seniors that danced all four years of high school together needless to say we were all really close. Then when we graduated Patricia and I were the only two that went on to dance for the Badgerettes together at Snow College. She was beautiful dancer and good friend. I don't ever remember her ever being mean to anyone. She will forever be in my heart and I will never forget her and the influence she has had on me and many others. She will be missed greatly by all her family and friends but I know she is in heaven with her sister Amberlee who passed away four or five years ago with the same head injuries. Heavenly Father has major work for those two to do and they will have so much fun catching up. Her funeral was beautiful and the nine seniors and a couple of her good friends sang a song called "Daughter of a King". It was one the hardest things I've ever had to do.

The nine seniors

Ashton (a fellow Badgerette), Tricia and I

The Badgerettes

Here are the words to the song that we sang. Well we couldn't really sing through our tears but we did our best.

Daughter of a King

Words and Music by Jenny Phillips and Tyler Castleton

Do you wonder if He knows who you are?

Do you wonder if He knows the secret pleadings of your heart

He has numbered every sand of the sea

And he longs for you to know that He believes in you

Can you feel a quiet power from above?

Can you feel His strength surround you when your own is not enough?

He has blessed you with his spirit from on high

And He longs for you to know it lives inside of you

Oh, be true –

Daughter of a king,

the Father’s royalty

heir to His divinity

He’s calling your name

to come and take your place before His throne

He has always known

what he created you to be

A daughter of a king

You hold the promises of all eternity

Rise to claim the noble birthright you were sent here to receive

He has loved you since you lived with Him before

Let Him lead you to the gifts He has in store for you

Oh, be true –

Daughter of a king,

the Father’s royalty

heir to His divinity

He’s calling your name

to come and take your place before His throne

He has always known

what he created you to be

Father’s royalty

heirs to His divinity

He’s calling our names

to come and take our place before His throne

He has always known

what He created us to be

Daughters of a king

Update on us!

2009-07-18T21:42:00.000-07:00

Kurt and I don't have the internet so its really hard for me to keep my posts up to date! So I'm just really sorry about that and hopefully we will get it in the near future. This summer has been a crazy one. Kurt is working for the forest service and has been on a fire for the past two weeks and I've been a big baby about it! I miss him so dang much! When he isn't on a fire he is living in Beaver during the week and then coming home to Cedar on his weekend which is Sunday and Monday so I've seen Kurt a handful of times in the past two and a half months. This is very hard for me but I'm very grateful that he has a well paying job and that he is having a good time. As for me, my days consist of working, going to the lake with some Wingers friends, hanging out with Kevin, Robyn and Kassidy, who are leaving me in a week :( occasional trips to manti, and lounging in my apartment counting the days til I get to see Kurtie again.Pretty stinkin LAZY I know. I sound like a big whiner and i'm sorry for my sob story I promise i'm really trying to come to terms with the fact that it's not going to change. It really is a great blessing because it's forced me to make some friends and he making good money for the school year. Which brings up a new change that will be occuring on our lives. Kurt decided to change his major to Engineering and SUU doesn't have an enginerring program so we will be transferring in the next year to a new school. We don't know where yet but the possible schools are Utah State (forever away from everything and everyone) U of U or BYU and i'm gonna maybe say UVU haha so all the schools up north pretty much. It's exciting to think about for me. That is story with this Marchant clan and hopefully i'll get some Florida pictures up in the near future!

That's my manly fire fighter! I guess Kevin called him the gay Indian. Gotta love his cute smile!

One Year Already!

2009-05-05T19:40:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe Kurt and I have already been married one year. Our anniversary was May 2nd and this last year has gone by so fast! But it has been so awesome to be married to such a wonderful guy. For our anniversary I made some reservations in Vegas for a couple of days. I had to make the reservations because if it was up to Kurt we would have just stayed home and went out to eat Dairy Queen or something!!So we headed down to Vegas Saturday evening of course when we get there I realize that I forgot the camera! So I'm really sorry. We stayed at the Excaliber. We walked the strip Saturday night, which was pretty scary, I was ok if I didn't look at the ground and see all the naked girls on the cards scattered everywhere. We at at Outback Steakhouse there on the strip and just loved that we didn't have to go back to school on Monday. Sunday we layed by the pool all day which was so nice rode the New York New York rollarcoaster and went The Bodies Exhibit.

I know this picture is a little gross but they are real bodies. This was an entire exhibit of our inards and how they work. Real body parts. It was kinda gross but cool at the same time. There was one section where you could see every stage of a baby and how they develop. REAL BABIES! Kinda sad too huh. Kurt loved every second of that and is still talking about it. It was so much fun to get away and spend time with my wonderful hubby.

I LOVE YOU KURTIE!

2009-03-22T17:22:00.000-07:00

This last weekend was mine and Kurt's Birthday. His was on Friday the 20 and mine is today the 22. We decided to go to St. George and hang out with friends and family in the 80 degree weather. It was such nice weather and I loved it. Friday, my sister Ashley had a softball tournament so we went watched her with my family while Kurt, his brothers Kent and Kevin, and my little brother Taylor went fishing in the little ponds. They could only handle so much softball. They had a blast catching their little fishies with just some fishing line, bait and their own to hands! We ate at Red Robin that night and had so much fun ending with a song and a dance from my little sister, entertaining the entire restraunt. Saturday we went to Sand Hollow just to play on the beach and put our feet in the water and eat some lunch. It was such nice weather until the wind started blowing and we had sand in every crevis of our body. We watched a little more softball and did some shopping. After we went to eat with Kurt's high school friend Luke and his wife Janae and their little girl chalin. We went to Texas Roadhouse and they made us sit on those saddle things while everyone said Yee Haw. SO EMBARRASSING!!!! After we went back to Janae's sister's house to watch Twilight. It was such a good birthday and Kurt had so much fun too.

This was Kurt's Birthday breakfast! Us on the saddle together! haha so embarrassing!

Valentines Day

2009-02-16T20:15:00.000-08:00

I know i'm a little late but I just wanted to let you all know how cute Kurt is! For Valentines Day we decided to save money this year and so we didn't get each other anything but a card or something. We wouldn't've been able to do anything on Saturday because we were going out of town so Friday while I was at work he snuck a dozen roses and a big box of chocloates in my car with the cutest card. Then when I got home from work he had cleaned the whole house and was doing the laundry. He didn't need to spend a lot of money to make Valentines Day special for me and it seems like it was more special because he did it all from the heart and did something for me to lighten my load. He is so wonderful and I love him so much! I don't know how I got so lucky!

2009-01-27T15:49:00.000-08:00

Well I can admit that i'm terrible at blogging and im pretty sure its not that big of a deal cuz I think like a total of three(if that) people look at my blog and I usually talk to those people everyday! But i'm bored so I decided to write something. Kurt and I are doing faboulous. He doesn't really have a job right now because construction is so slow but we are getting by. I swear heavenly father is putting money in our account. It's just so amazing how things work out. I'm still working at Wingers and doing pretty good there. I like waitressing but I wouldn't want to do it for the rest of my life. We are still in the nursery for our ward and we're having so much fun with that! We can't really give the kids a lesson because they don't really know what's going on they and can barely talk. But we are trying. The other day we tried to teach them to fold their arms and that lasted about two seconds before they were off fighting over the toys. We are in the Student married ward and we have like four kids in there and they are barley 1 yr old. It makes me realize how smart Kassidy(our neice) really is she knows Jesus and is saying prayers and everything and she is only a year and a half. I wanted to give a shout out to Mel and Kent on the baby coming soon! I'm so excited for them and i'm sure the baby will be beautiful and healthy and I pray everything goes well! But it makes me sad that we might not see them very much if they move to Kentucky. Now I keep bugging Robyn to get pregnant. Its time Robyn. Trust me I know haha. Well I hope everything is going good in everyones lives and even though I don't post that much and put up pictures I still look at everyone elses and see how they are doing. I know this was pretty much a pointless post but hey at least I posted right. :D

P.s Kurt and I will be married 9 months in February man does time fly. We are having a blast!

TAGGED!!!
The Rules Are: 1. Link to the person that tagged you (thanks Mel) and post the rules on your blog.2. Share 7 random and/or weird fact about yourself.3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post.4. Let each person know that they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I love little kid foods. I love to snack on fruit snacks, cheddar gold fishes, macaroni and cheese, mini corndogs, uncrustables and for those of you who don't know what those are they are frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches with the crust cut off of them. Let let them thaw out then eat them. They are delicious. I promise I eat healthy foods too but when I have kids i'm to have to buy double the stuff.

2. Everyday at noon, if I can, I watch the TV series Gilmore Girls. This fetish started in high school with my best friend Aubrey. We bought one of the seasons and watched it in one night. Now i'm addicted and try to watch it whenever I can. Kurt and my brother who is currently living with us, hate it cuz everyday at noon I insist that we watch Gilmore Girls. I love it! The next one will be when the Lost series comes out in January. Thanks to Robyn i'm addicted to that one too!

3.When I get out of the shower I have to put lotion on my whole body everytime! I don't like having dry skin so i have to lotion up after every shower. My favorite lotion is the johnson and johnson baby lotion but for adults it makes me smooth as a babies bottom haha.

4. Sorry to talk about showering again, but when I get into the shower I do the same thing in the same order everytime. Same as when i'm getting ready. The circumstances may vary but when i'm at my own house or my parents house Its the same thing in the same order. you could call it OCD but its what I do.

5. I have a freakishly small little toe. Its ten times smaller than all the rest of my toes so it looks freakishly abnormal. Kurt loves to point it out to random people and embarass me. Its not normal and i'm very self concious about it. If you ask me though I will show it to ya.

6. When I eat peanut M&Ms I eat the green ones last. One of my friends from drill team told me one day while we were enjoying a package of peanut M&Ms that you eat the green ones last because they taste better. So ever since i've saved the green ones for last. There's just something about the green ones! They are the best.

7. I'm a diet coke lover. My mom got me liking diet coke and now its my drink of choice besides water. She is seriously addicted like, its a problem, but she's slowly getting better. Anyways I hope not to be as bad as she is but I like it a lot. It makes me have to go to the bathroom like three times in a half hour but for some reason I still drink it.

Well I'm suppose to tag seven people but everyone i know pretty much has been tagged with this so anyone who wants to do it feel free to take it from my blog!

LAS VEGAS TRiP

2008-07-25T09:32:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,My sister, her friend and her friends sister, our mothers and myself went to Las Vegas to see the Phantom of the Opera. It was so much fun to just get away and have a girls trip. On Sunday we left home and stayed in Mesquite, staying up all night talking and laughing not getting to bed until two Nevada time. Monday we made our way to Las Vegas and went shopping all day long until about four when we all went to get makeup makeovers, finishing just in time for the Phantom. It was so amazing and had the best special effects!! Tuesday we swam all day and then stoppped and shoppped in St. George on the way home. It was so hot in Las Vegas but I loved every second of it. Spending time with my mom and my sister was so awesome. They are truely my best friends besides Kurt! I love them so much and if you know either of them you know how fun and crazy they can get.

HONEYMOON iN CANCUN

2008-07-10T14:01:00.000-07:00

Well I ran in to some problems with my blog so now I have to start over! But its ok. Here are some pictures of our honeymoon in Cancun, Mexico. It was so much fun and I would go back in heartbeat. It helped so much that Kurt knows spanish we got away with a lot of bargaining and shopping was way cheap. We got a chance to swim with dolphins and I would recommend that to anyone. If you ever get a chance don't pass it up. We did many other activities and it was seriously a trip of a life time. We couldn't have chosen anything better to do for our honeymoon. It was a perfect way to start our marriage!
