I keep sayin' it...

I do keep saying that I am going to be a better blogger, I would love to keep better track of my life's happenings because, well, they all just seems to fly by so fast.  I blink and my little baby is 18 months, is the height of a typical two year old and  the weight of a 3 year old! WHAT!?  She is speaking to me in sentences and understands so much of what is going on around her, it blows my mind.  Here is just a quick run down of what has been up lately:

April: Elsie decided to walk on Easter Sunday.  Elsie rode her first pony and went on her first Easter egg hunt! We spent Spring Break in UT.  Natalie and Brandon (bo bo and nana to Elsie, J's sis and hubby) are awesome hosts and we love staying with them.  Ryan (Jordan's lil' bro) left for his mission to OK!  
May: Jordan was crazy busy working and going to school.  Jaimie, my sis, flew into town to make some money working with Jordan, stayed about 3 weeks.  Love, loved it.  Went on hikes, ate sushi, took Yoga classes, had dance parties in the living room.  Good times.  Jordan surprised me with VIP American Idol tickets for Mothers Day!  



June: I turned 29 (ew)  Gotta fit in a lot, being this is the last year in my 20's...why?  I don't know, I just feel like I need to for some reason! Hah!  Went to UT, visited fam (we were all there for my sister's canceled wedding...that's another post, but a great and happy one!)  It was so fun to be all together, parents in from Seattle, Phil and Jaz and kiddos in from NYC.  Went to Lagoon, Elsie rode her first roller coaster (yeah, scary).  Loved watching the cute cousin play together.  Visited my grandparents in Ogden, Jasmine took some great pics of them:)

hi. I'm 18 months old now!
Went to a screening of the movie I star in.  It's crazy to watch yourself on the screen and to see how it all came together!  Good things may be happening with the film! Fingers crossed! Check out the trailer here:  http://www.hydethefilm.com




July:  Spent the 4th with friends, beach and BBQ.  Jordan left for UPenn to finish up his Masters program! 2 more weeks and he is done!!!  Well, done leaving every month and done with mad amounts of homework, now he just has to write his thesis.  I am so very proud of him.  Its a lot to work full time and go to school and be a dad! 
Aaaannnd....drum roll please... I finally booked a national commercial!  It's been a while and I was getting quite frustrated with the lack of work this year for me so hopefully this one does well.  It's a Kay Jewelers commercial, which means CHEESY!  Woohoo! And I have to kiss some random guy after he proposes to me. It'll be an interesting day:)
Well, that's just a quick summary of the last few months!  Next week I am off to Seattle and maybe it'll start to feel like summer vacation.  Hopefully it won't be another few months until I post again....
