Oaklynn's First Birthday

Where has the time gone? Our tiny 6 lb. bundle of joy that we brought home from the hospital, is now a walking, babbling toddler! She loves to sing with Mom and Dad. She loves to carry her baby dolls around and say "oooh" to them. She basically will copy anything that she see's me doing, which has its good and bad moments. She is a ham and makes me laugh just as hard as her Dad does. We love our Oaklynn pie and can't wait to see what she will do next!

3 Things I've Learned In Spokane, WA

My husband, Dallin, wants to be a lawyer. He took the LSAT and applied to schools all across the country. We ended up choosing Gonzaga University as our new school and Spokane, WA as our new home. In August, we moved our 8-month-old baby and all of our crap 11 hours north.

Since the move, I have learned a lot about myself. Until now, I have lived in the bubble of Utah surrounded by Mormons and family alike. Life in Utah was comfortable and familiar. Spokane has been a different story. 

Here are 3 things I have learned: 

1. You can survive for weeks without the sun. 

I have never gone so long without seeing the sun. Not only is it usually rainy and overcast in Spokane, but since winter and daylight savings, the sun goes down at 4:30 and dusk hits at 3 in the afternoon. Although, you can survive with very limited sunlight, it's no fun. Lately I soak up the sun every minute I can when it's out! The scene from Twilight where the kids are sitting outside basking in the sun at lunch time makes a lot more sense. 

2. People are people no matter where you go, but some people are nicer than others. 

I have made more friends than I could have ever expected in Spokane. The ward has become my family. I love a lot of people in Spokane.

However, there are a lot of people who I don't share the same political opinions with and who seem uptight and apprehensive. I still haven't figured out why so many people in Spokane are paranoid and unhappy, and I hope I never find out. Perhaps the presidential election had something to do with it. 

3. You can be happy anywhere. 

The first few weeks here were really hard. I missed my family. I missed the familiarity of the streets and buildings in Utah. I missed quirky Utahans who always get into your business. I missed only having two options of restaurants in my small town.

I called my Mom and sister nearly every day over Facetime just so I could see some one I knew that day. 

However, things have gotten easier. The streets are more familiar. I have found new restaurants that I love. I have met people who are just as nice, kind, and sincere as those in my hometown. 

I am happy again in Spokane. We are exploring our new home and having a blast! Dallin and I are closer as a couple than ever before. Moving has been a blessing in disguise. Will we go back to Utah? Heck yes! But, until then, we are happy!

Book Review: The Selection Series

Summary plot: A young girl named America is chosen to participate in her socialistic societies competition to become the next queen. Basically, it's the Hunger Games meets the Bachelor.

I will start by saying I read all three books in three days. This is definitely one of those "can't put it down" books. The only downside was that they ended. Here is my take on each book.

Book One: The Selection 

I loved how Kiera Cass was able to recreate all the struggles and emotions that come along with your first love. I'm not one for solely romantic novels. I usually need more drama and background story to keep me interested and this book definitely didn't disappoint.

This book kicks off immediately. No need to read for ages just to get to the good parts. Yet, just when you're about to get attached to the first romance, it's taken away all too quickly.

Now, this introduces one of the things I didn't like about the book. I realize that we are dealing teenagers here, but America is so indecisive and immature that it's hard not to get super frustrated when she makes dumb choices. This is a common theme throughout all of the books. There were so many times when I was like JUST TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL! But, she doesn't and things get dramatic.

Once she gets to the palace, I couldn't get enough of Maxon/America time. She is fierce with him and he eats it up, which I think is how a lot of women want to be.

I also loved how Kiera was able to keep you on the edge of your seat when you basically know how it's going to turn out. I mean, when you name the last book The One, you need other ways to create suspense besides "if she'll make it to the next round". (Except at the very end. You never know who he'll choose in the end.) ;)

Book Two: The Elite

I thought this book would just be a filler not a whole lot of action and I wasn't completely wrong, but it was still good. Kiera keeps putting twists and turns that bring life to the story. There are lots of unexpected events and despite you telling yourself "you know how this ends" she has a way of making you question yourself....a lot.

This book brings out women empowerment. America is a very strong, independent woman. She stands up to everyone, including the King himself. That empowerment is one reason I liked this book. I think she has an edge that was hard not to mimic once I stopped reading.

That being said, she is also impulsive, which made her seem dumb. A dumb, strong women is almost more aggravating than just a quiet woman. I was constantly thinking "that probably could have been done better" or "I would have probably been a bit more conscientious if it were me". Even so, it had a great overall message of the power of women.

This book also brings the Aspen/Maxon struggle to a forefront. I loved this part of the story because it is so relatable. Most, if not all, the girls I know have had at least a tiny battle in their heads about their last and current love. Not to mention the hard-to-forget feelings of your first love. The whole time she was explaining her feelings between the two I couldn't help but feel like YES! I know exactly how that is.

Book Three: The One

This book went by REALLY fast but in a good way. I was biting my nails the entire time! I really liked the unsurety she created between her and Maxon's relationship. Despite their issues, you keep reminding yourself "they have to end up together", which makes the relationship seem all the more real. How many times have we had the same situation? Relationship issues that leave us just praying but we have to end up together!

The books weren't flawless, but I would definitely rank them in my top 10. If you love to read, then these are a must! On top of that, they're going to become a movie so now is probably a good time to read them!

Chelsea's Baseball Baby Shower

A baby born to the Child's is bound to play baseball! Which is why I decided that was the perfect theme for Chelsea's future baby!

From the banners to the food, we made everything baseball! 

For the games, we played the yarn game, don't say baby, candy bar game, charades, and family feud. 

We served franks in a baby blanket, home-made cracker jacks, chocolate dipped strawberries, oreo balls, veggie's, and grape juice. 

We had a good turn out and Chelsea got some perfect gifts for her baby! 

 We love you Chels! And you will make the best Mom ever!

What I Will Give to Be Someone's Mommy

My first stretch mark was when I was a lot younger and came from growing (I assume). By now, those marks have faded and you can barely see them. UNTIL TODAY! In that same area (my sides) my dear skin has started to stretch again. They are still faint marks, but you can see the strain on my skin from my recent "baby bump" growing. Not too bad so far, but I still have three months of growing and I can only imagine how much they will grow by the time the baby comes.

I can already hear my Mom joining the millions of other mothers saying "The babies are worth it!" and I know they are. I know that I will never regret these nine months of changes to bring my new best friend into the world. And I will still love myself and my body even with the new tiger stripes that I will develop. HOWEVER, stretch marks still suck!

I have been using Palmers Stretch Mark Cream for the past two months after I get out of the shower. It worked for my cousin, but apparently no body is the same. Despite my efforts, those pesky marks are still forming.

So, even though I have beat the nausea, fatigue, and food aversions it turns out my pregnancy still has some curve balls left for me.

I can't help but think these small lines represent more than just my changing outward appearance. They represent all of the changes and sacrifices that are bound to come as I enter motherhood. I know, I still have no idea what I'm talking about. I don't know how many hours I will lose calming a crying child or what it feels like to go days without sleep. I don't know what it's like to see your child come home frustrated with bully problems and feel so helpless.

But I can't help but get excited! To know that God has allowed a young girl like me the responsibility to nurture one of His most precious spirits is an honor. And I am willing to give my body, my time, and my entire heart to her. I know all the sacrifices are worth it!

We're Having A...

We went in for our 20 week ultrasound on July 8th. Our little baby is doing great! Everything is measuring just where it should. I, like most people I imagine, can't tell the difference between ultrasound pictures. I'm sure my baby looks just like the next ladies baby, but still :) Here are the pics

The arm

The leg

The head

 Now, without further ado! We're having a...

I couldn't be more excited! I love all things pink. I love dress and dancing. I love silly sleepovers and playing house. Turns out that my very best friend is on her way!!!

4 Months and Counting

I always love a good pregnancy update from others so here is my four month update. As of right now, I have gotten over most of my morning sickness. Not by my own efforts, but because of a heavenly combination of vitamin B6 and Unison right before bed. Not only do I sleep like a baby ;), but I also don't have morning sickness for most of the day. I still get a little queezy right before bed, but I'll take what I can get.

My stomach has definitely grown. Unfortunately, compared with other pregnant friends I feel like I look more like I'm 20 weeks rather than 16, but the bump is more fun for me and Dallin! He'll say hi to the baby and he swore last night he could feel the babies heart beat from his side of the bed. Haha I can't wait to see him hold his son or daughter for the first time! 

I really like grapefruit right now and snow cones! I weigh 158 lbs, which is still five pounds lighter then when I was first pregnant. My doctor doesn't seem too worried though. We find out the gender July 8th on Uncle Adam's birthday!

My 3 Month Update

I wanted to keep a record of my pregnancy symptoms and my thoughts throughout this journey. Today is my 12 week mark. Basically, 3 months of making a baby. Some of my symptoms include:

Nausea

Unfortunately, most mornings I feel super sick to my stomach and on the verge of losing it. Eating helps, but even then I often feel a lingering threat of nausea.

Bloating

It happened yesterday. I went from my normal stomach to HUGE fat glob on my belly. I woke up and felt super gross and I looked down and my stomach looked how I felt. I feel like I grew the entire baby in one night but THIS IS NOT A BABY BUMP! This is don't push on my stomach or move too quickly gas bubble.

Food Aversions

Smells. Good smells. Bad smells. Any strong smell that reminds me of food or a time when I had nausea makes me even more sick to my stomach. This symptom may be my worst enemy because I feel like it's all in my head. I feel like I'm being a baby and I'm making the whole thing up. Smells also make it really hard to eat. Nothing smells or sounds good.

"Cravings"

Many people talk about cravings as a pregnancy symptom, but I think that "craving" isn't the right word. Rather than a craving, you want to eat certain foods because you simply can't stand to eat anything else. Everything sounds gross, but you can manage to stomach at least one food at a time.

Fatigue

Poor Dallin. I wake up go to work, come home sleep. Occasionally, I'll clean the kitchen or make dinner, but mostly I'm just a zombie walking around. The best way to beat fatigue is to pretend it's not there. If I get up and move, I forget I'm tired. If I were to sleep as often as I wanted, I would never get out of bed.

Now, this may seem like a rant on how crappy pregnancy is...and to be honest it's definitely not been a walk in the park. However, the excitement about growing a human inside me and having a little baby of our own by Christmas is pushing me through all the hard parts. I can't wait to be a Mom!! I can't wait to have someone look at me the way that I've seen so many other babies look at their Mom's. They know from a very young age who their Mother is, and I can't wait to be that for some one.

So, bring on the food aversions and fatigue because I'm making this baby whether my body likes it or not!

Love,
The Littlefields

P.S. I just found this awesome article on morning sickness. The funny part is, I figured out almost every single one of these on my own! #terribletiming

We're Expecting!

I knew something was wrong the day I stopped loving food. Ever since I was a little girl, I would eat extra helpings if something tasted good enough. However, that all changed the day I became pregnant.

We decided to take the test a week after I had missed my period. I couldn't wait any longer I was so excited! So, we took the test during my lunch break. Dallin picked me up and I went straight to the bathroom as soon as I got home. Before I was finished using the restroom, Dallin had already looked at the results and had a wry smile across his face. He wouldn't just come out and say it. He made me decipher the instruction manual. 

Once we both knew, we couldn't believe it. Something was probably wrong. Maybe I didn't use it right. Could we get a false positive? I took another test the next morning and sure enough, another blue plus sign! 

I called my Mom in tears. I couldn't be more excited! 

We're pregnant!!!

Reasons Why I Don't Quit My Job and Become a World Traveler

I often get carried away in thoughts about how simple life would be if I packed up, quit my job, and became a world traveler. I could be a scuba instructor off the shores of mexico or explore the amazon in Brazil. I wouldn't have to worry about being social or stressing about being on time to anything. Life would be simple.

It's at times like these, that I need to remind myself why becoming a world traveler is not in my best interest. 

1. I want a family. There is one vision better then me sitting on the beach every day. It includes four kids who call me mom and gather around the table for a warm home cooked meal. The comfort and unity that comes from home are irreplaceable. 

2. I need to build my future. I, like many of you, have read quote after quote about how we should use our money to experience life. I agree to a certain extent. If I want to live in a comfortable house, I have to save a portion of my income. On the other hand, if I were to become a world traveler, it would take me twice as long to save that money. 

3. I want to stay close to my relatives. I'm a homebody. After six months in Mexico, I would want to come back to Grantsville. I would want to snuggle my cute nephew and wrap my arms around my Dad. In the end, life wouldn't be worth it without having people around me that I love. 

That's it. I only have THREE reasons why I don't become a world traveler. Not very many. Maybe this means I will do it...some day.

It's the Little Things

There are times, in almost every marriage, when you feel tired. Tired of trying. Tired of the same routine. Tired of being tired. It's not that you're unhappy. You're just tired. And these times often end in a teary, un-comprehensible discussions that seems to have no point. Luckily, my sweet husband took my "tired talk" and turned it into one of the sweetest moments in our marriage.

 After a long, teary conversation we went to bed. The next morning I went to work. As with every other day my "tired" routine continued. Now, I understand that as a couple without children, it may seem that we have plenty of time on our hands. How could I be tired when other women are taking care of 10 children, a dog, a house, and paying the bills on time? I can see how my day compared to that incredible woman would pale in comparison, but here me out. Even when you do have time, doing the same routine week in and week can wear on you. Whether you're doing two loads of laundry or five, at some point you get tired of doing laundry.

 At the moment that you want to lie down and never get back up again, you thank heaven when someone comes and puts out their hand to help.

On my way home from work, I was thinking about what I would make for dinner, what part of the apartment I would need to clean, and what I needed to do to prepare for the next day. Dallin seemed indifferent to my usual business conversation. I just need to get home and start to work then I can forget all my problems. It's the times when I'm sitting with nothing to do that cause me to stress. We pull up to the house, and I get out and go downstairs.

Then, I see this...

Dallin had made a HUGE fort throughout our entire apartment and streamed Christmas lights through the tunnels. He had made a trail of pink hand-cut hearts along the path. He had flowers and at the end of the tunnel was a new chick flick and a TV all set up to watch. We ate dinner and I felt completely at ease. I felt dumb for crying, but I was overwhelmed and relieved. This little gesture, seemed to take away all of my worries. It's the little things that make a huge difference in marriage.

The BEST recipe's I've found so far

So, it's no secret that I hate cooking. It takes too long and the list of ingredients I know could be compared to a kindergartner; however, I know a good recipe when I see one. I've found two so far. Don't laugh. I'm only 3 months into this cooking thing. These are the perfect amount for two (and left-overs) and SUPER cheap! Here are my two favorites.

Aunt Haley's Recipe

1 c. Chili
1 c. Tomato soup
1 pkg. Noodles (any kind but I like the twisty ones)
1 c. Cheese

Mix everything together and sprinkle with cheese. Cook in oven at 375 for 20 minutes. DONE!

Tater-tot Casserole 

2 c. Cream of chicken soup
12 oz. Sour cream
1 pkg. Tater-tots
1/2 lb Ground beef

Mix cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Lay tater-tots on the bottom of the pan, then sprinkle the meat over that. Then add the soup. Cook at 350 for 45 minutes.

Enjoy! These seriously are the best :)

Moving On to More

Well first of all I have to give a big thank you to BYU Radio for the last 3 years. It's been so much fun and I've learned more there than school it feels like. Here is my amazing team! We got along like siblings :)

Now, moving on to my new job....well I have nothing to say about it yet besides that I am excited and anxious. I'll be a college admissions representative and talk to high school students about enrolling. It's Broadview University in West Jordan. It sounds great! And the best part is the pay! Speaking of.... Dallin and I can upgrade our phones....and change carriers and plans. Ugh, what a hassle. If YOU have any suggestions they are more than welcome because there are so many options I don't know what to do.

Here is what we have found out so far.

My favorite is Net10. We can get the both of us on unlimited data, talk and text for $85/month. The only catch is we have to buy iPhones...but that could be as low as $450 (if I get a used iPhone 4 and he gets a iPhone 5s) .

If we go with Verizon and attach to my parents plan then we could get iPhones for $100 and pay $90 a month, but I don't know if that will fly.

Or At&t and just have Dallin get an iPhone for $60 a month, and I get a dumb phone still...which I'll be working so hard I think I need a pay off too. :)

SO that leaves us...deciding...

Love,
The Littlefields

Learning for Later

My lovely parents gave us two bikes to use while we're at college. The only catch was we had to fix them. Dallin wasn't worried, of course, he has fixed lots of bikes in his time. Whoo! That means I'm off the hook, right? Wrong....he made me do it because I have never changed a bike tire before. He also said I should learn in case he dies....what the heck!? I'm not going to be riding a bike if he dies. I'll buy a nice car with all the money he is going to leave me! It is actually pretty easy and now I know how to do it! And I couldn't help but notice the similarities of Dallin and my Dad. They never let me just be the little girl who doesn't know anything. I always have to "learn for later". So I did, and now if "Dallin dies" I can change the bike tire all by myself.

Love,
The Littlefields

Gratitude and Graduation

It's been an amazing last few years. So many friendships and knowledge has come out of BYU and this wonderful institution will forever have a close place to my heart. I will never forget the people that have blessed my life during the last four years. College wasn't easy, but the people that were around me during this time made it feel a lot more like home. 

Change is the worst, but I've got great things to look forward to. I am going to be an College Admissions Representative for Broadview University in West Jordan, and I'll start on my Master's there soon as well. Who knows when kids will come, or when we'll be completely out of debt, or when I'll have a six pack, but I'm confident one of those three will actually happen. :) 

Here are some picks of the milestone marker.

Finding My One

Not very many people are lucky enough to find the love of their life, let alone when they are 12 years old. I don’t know if it was his baby face or my incredibly awkward reaction to boys, but either way we were slow in the making. We were just your average 7^thgraders who couldn't help, but be drawn to each other. He would do silly impressions and I would refuse to hug boys, we didn't know anything, but somewhere in between the acne and the late nights staying up to text each other we fell in love.

            I remember it like it was yesterday, I knew I wanted to go with him to prom, and I would use every resource I had to let him know that. My friends left subtle hints that I wanted to go with him, but these “subtle hints” turned out to about as subtle as a gun. He knew I wanted to go with him, but did he want to go with me? There were other boys wanting to go, but they weren't him. I got a letter asking me to prom, and the same day a text from Dallin saying he wanted to go and heard someone else was going to ask me. Naturally I wanted to throw in the towel and say “I’m all yours!” but who was this mystery man? I would take a guess and leave hints to other boys that I was taken, but I would keep getting these secret letters with no name. I felt so guilty for spending some boy’s money that I wasn't going to go with. Then came the huge bouquet of roses. Seriously though, I may have been slightly shorter then, but it seems like they were at least the size of a small chair. This was too much! They must’ve cost someone a fortune. The letter read “I know I’m not your first choice, but please give me a chance. You can open the letter hidden in the flowers to find out who wants to take you to the dance.” Buried deep in the flowers was a note I failed to notice before. I opened it and it was from my future husband asking me to prom, that snake in the grass! I was so mad! I was stressing out this whole time and it was him all along!
            I have never been one to let things go so this meant war. He played me like a fiddle and I planned to get him right back. I plotted and planned and the big day came.

           He stormed into class and said “you!” I may or may not have planted some spices that looked similar to drugs and bottles that looked like beer bottles in his car. Then I may have had the local policeman pull him over in front of the school right when everyone was going to class. He still has anxiety about police cars, but what can I say? It was the beginning of our happily ever after.

Read More Than the Clever Title

I obviously can't say too many negative things about marriage blog posts, because here I am writing one. I have noticed at least 90% more blog articles that say "Marriage Isn't For You" or "Why I'm Happy I Married Young" showing up on my Facebook feed. I've read them, and they are entertaining. Dallin would always say "I hate those, their only half truths". After we talked about it my eyes were opened to what was going on around me. All these people are grasping for truth. They want to know that someone else out there get's what they are going through, that's what I was doing too, but at the same time all of these bloggers are missing the bulls eye. They are saying things maybe to express themselves, maybe to get more readers, maybe to shock and awe. What they don't get is that all of these "clever revelations" are already written out, and with more truth.... in the scriptures. Wah wah wah don't stop reading because you automatically tune out when you hear "religion". Not every one understands the scriptures but take it bit by bit and you can find all the truths people seek after. The scriptures are hitting these "clever blog revelations" right on the nail, but everyone is avoiding them because religion is taboo on social media. Well I say enough is enough. I'm calling bloggers out. Everyone is acting like prophets and coming up with these great ideas when the basic's that they are trying to explain are already revealed in the scriptures. So, here is my plea. Enough of your "Clever Titles" what are you really trying to say? When you find out, find the direction that God wants you to take on the topic through reading the scriptures. Some of these scriptures may seem like a stretch, but look at the principles of why we are drawn to these articles. It is the truth that is in them.  Here are some examples:

Blog: Marriage Isn't For You

Scripture:

Galations 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,gentleness, goodness, faith

Why should we just treat our spouses like this? We shouldn't. Treat everyone with the love of Christ and your life will be open to God's love and the Spirit.

Blog: Why I Am Glad I Married At Age 21

Scripture:

 Alma 37: 35 O, remember, my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God.

 36 Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.

 37 Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

You can do anything with God, including marriage.

Blog: Stop the Mommy Wars

Scripture:

Moses 7:18 And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of oneheart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.

I rest my case.

A Newborn Marriage

My life has become one with someone else, which in a way feels like a new life. I didn't know why but pre-married Goo seems really different from  post-married Goo, and it's literally been a month and a half. It's like I passed into a whole new world, and I'm starting to learn things all over again. I have only been born into this world once, and I don't remember what it was like, but I imagine it is similar to what I am feeling now. I know who I am. I am a daughter of God and I have immense potential, but why is that so hard to remember when I put a cup of oil in the waffles instead of 1/3 cup? It's like learning to walk all over again. I'm learning who this new person is, and sometimes it's easier to get frustrated when I know I can do better. It just comes down to the fact that I am experiencing a new way of life, and it will take time to get my feet under me.

 I'm learning to talk again too. 

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I was mad and I needed to tell someone. Before, my roommates would be waiting at the door to hear about my day and the ups and downs. They would even have a few stories of their own to share in response. I knew what was coming with girls. I had that pre-marriage life down. But now I don't have that anymore. Luckily when I get on a estrogen overload, my new other half can see through my irrational thoughts. We are building the kind of person that help each other and don't settle for just consolidation in hard times. And now I'm learning to talk, and talking feels so much better. 

I'm learning to trust those around me. 

It has never been my strong suit to follow. After waiting 2 years you learn a sense of independence. I can do things by myself. I am the only one that can do this job the best way. But I am learning quickly that I can't, and I don't have to. After I fall over and over again, I realize that I can't do everything by myself. Then comes the saving grace of my husband. He picks up the load and lets me rest from my burdens. I have to let go of the doubt that my independence is screaming at me. He can handle my load. 

We are learning and growing together. We are becoming one.

Love,
The Littlefield's

So THIS is love :)

A random photo stand on campus lead to this pre-Valentine kiss! After this we went and got Dallin's Valentines gift (I need to work on surprises...) which is a new wedding ring haha (side-note-story: I'm THE WORST and ended up getting Dallin's wedding ring the day before we got married at Walmart...needless to say he wore it our wedding day and it's been a pain to wear ever since...maybe because it was also the wrong size ha oops, so now he wanted a new one) 

This is a picture from our honeymoon cruise! We went to Key West and Cozumel on the Carnival. It was really beautiful, and we had a great time! 

What Our Christmas Looks Like

This is us, and all of our presents! This is actually Christmas Eve. We celebrated early so we could be together with my family and then on Christmas day we went to his families house. 

It's a black tradition to make honey candy at Christmas!
