Our life happenings!

first of all Happy Valentines Day!!!! I love valentines day, mainly because of frosted heart sugar cookies tho!

But anyway life has been pretty darn good for our little family. We have been so lucky this past week. We have been able to spend time with both Rye's and my family. Rye's mom, dad, grandparents, and brother took a trip to see us and some surrounding areas. It was so fun having them here for a little bit. Holden was so in heaven! It was also nice having those men do some chores fro me, haha! what great men they all are! Then the day they left we headed to Salt Lake to watch state wrestling. It was so nice to get to see all my family. they were almost all there. Slade did great. He took 3rd, we were hoping for first but he will do it next year!

The baby is getting so big! It is fun because I get to have an ultra sound every other week. The lady spends about five min checking up on my placenta, then she spends thirty playing with the little man! Rye has had a ton of time off work because of weather, so life has actually felt normal! We have gone and done a ton of fun little family things. Holden is getting so funny. He is starting to talk so good and has the funniest things to say.

for example, Treats/candy are "TreeeeeEEE Poos!!"His trains all have names, like his Happy train, mean lil' train, or his tracty trainy.

But the best thing is his "bad word". It is actually kinda sad. He hears me yell RYE!!!! so much because, of course I am always getting mad at his dad haha, and so he thinks rye is a bad word, or angry word. So whenever he is mad or frustrated he yells, Rye, rye rye!!!

Any how here are some pictures of visiting family, family outings, Holden and his friends, and just life lately! There are a billion!

update-BABY!

Well we received some WONDERFUL news today! And let me tell you that I needed it more than I have ever needed anything.... The day before Christmas Eve we received a call from the baby Dr saying he had some concerns with the ultra sound. He (like so many Dr's told us with absolutely no tact!) That he was worried because the baby had numerous large cysts in it's brain. And said it could mean a number of things to do with brain damage. And just like that he said bye and sent us to a specialist, which was over a month wait. (it sure made our Christmas wonderful =( ) We couldnt even bring ourselves to talk about. I have been worried truly scared.... But I did my own research and learned that it really isn't that big of a deal and most of the time the cysts don't mean anything and can just go away. So today we met with the specialist (over three hours of tests!) and ..........They were totally gone!!!!! and he is beautiful, strong and healthy!!! Let me tell you tho, sitting in there waiting for the results with my legs shaking really broke my heart for all the mothers who aren't as lucky.....I will never take for granted my healthy babies. I am already so in love with this little man and so is his daddy!!! we would have just crumbled if today hadn't been so perfect. We are so blessed. I love my little family!

But rather than a low lying placenta and my joints officially going out in my lower back life is now just fine! As far as my back goes I cant work out anymore, and I have to go to physical therapy 1-2 times a week. I don't know what is worse the pain from it or not being able to work out! I would have to say not being able to work out, ha ha!

But here are some pictures of the little man from today!!! He is so dang cute! I could have just watched him in there playing all day!


I have had some baby bump requests and I finally have one so here ya go! just going into my seventh month. As soon as i find my camera charger i will post pictures of the new place (sorry grandma I will get some on here =)

So much to be happy for!

Well first of all I have been married to the absolute love of my life, my BEST friend, and eternal companion for two years!!!!!!! I love him more than he will ever know, and I know he loves me to by the way he lets me know every single day! These are a few reasons why I adore my husband:

1-He is the nicest person I have ever known in my life
2- He would do ABSOLUTELY anything for Holden and I
3- When I go running (he thinks I don't know ha ha!!)
he follows behind me in his truck to make sure I am ok, so sweet.
4- Every single day, he trys to be a better man.
5- When we were married he promised me certain things, and he has done every
single thing he said and continues to do them everyday.
6- I can call rye any time of the day and tell him something dumb holden did and it will bring him sooooo much joy! (such a good daddy)

I could go on and on!!! I love you Love!
And then 2ND of all, the other love of my life is 18 months today!!!!! He is so big! And I am so thankful for the joy he brings me everyday! I love being Rye fitzwaters wife, and Holden's momma! This week we are going on a trip to California for our anniversary, I will post pictures when we get back! And thank you everybody we has helped us during these two years. Right now in our lives we have so much to be happy about!

The Fitzwaters crazy, but sometimes boring life lately =)

Fitzwater News

It seams like life has been a little bit crazy. We have had a few life changing(sorta) events. First of all Rye did not get into the school we wanted him to, well he got in but it is completely full, so we are on the waiting list, so we are in turmoil. We dont know what to do!!!! It's so sad! They told him he was high on the waiting list, and that 10% of the students always drop, but that's all they could tell us. So, we are just hoping they call us within at LEAST a week before the class starts, so we can at least have a week to get there.....sucky tho. BUT the other issue is Rye's current job. You may all probably be aware of the falling oil field. SO, the hole point of us even being in Farmington is to make some money so we can attend Rye's school and survive. We have been blessed to be making really good money, but last week they informed Rye and everyone Else that their paychecks would be cut by 60% What the heck, right!!! So we have decided oh well, at least Rye can be to church every Sunday, and we have got a beautiful, strange, amazing little squash baby named Holden. What more do you need!!! Love You all!!!

oh, here are some pictures from this last month. We went home for the fourth and camped all week with my family. It was sooooo fun! Holden was so fun. He loves to be outside and drive the four wheeler. Such a BOY!!!

My little brothers made their own swing, Rye still cant walk right!!!

These are some pictures from farmington. Holden knows "modest is the hottest"!!!


I thought this was so cute! I caught him just chilling in the hamper!

little updates for the fitzwater

UPDATE



Well not much has happened with us. We have actually been able to do a lot of things together as family which is soooooo nice. We have got to the lake a few times and just got back from Albuquerque last night. We had a great time. We went to the zoo again (Holden just loves it) and the Temple and stuff. Life is going great. I am a little bored with out school, but Holden and I have just been enjoying life. He loves to go to the city pool, so that's fun. Rye, works like a mad man. He is such great husband and provider, almost to good. Anyway, love you all. Rye took the 24th off so hopefully we will see some of ya!

Holden refuses to let anybody else push the stroller! He loves driving things-- Holden at the zoo

Holden and our family at the zoo.....He is so funny check out his face in the family picture!


daddy loves to sing in the truck. Holden just stares at him with that weird smile on his face when rye sings, it kills us! --- Holden got into Ryes tools and got liquid meddle sealant all over!!!! so hard to get off of him!

Everyday when Rye gets home he has to push Holden up the driveway and let him roll back in his Tonka truck! it's so funny. -- Holden will not get out of the car until I let him pretend drive for about 45 mins!!! he will literally just sit there with his hands on the wheel.

Family Pictures

We had some new family pictures taken last week for something my mom is doing for us for when we go through the temple next month(YAY!!!). I asked Ricci Harvey to take them, and so she drove all the way from Durango to take them. (What a great friend I have!) She did such a great job. I scrapbooked them and thought I would post them for the grandmas.......

I feel good!!!

I just had such a fun day with Holden today! And thought Hey i will blog about that! Well, first of all I better explain why I am such a happy girl lately. Honestly I feel like a whole new person, and let this be a lesson to you all. I will hurry and explain, take care of your teeth!!!!!! last year this month I had a cavity, and got it fixed, keep in mind I was 9 months prego, but anyway the dentist did a bad job and made my feeling way to big and it was touching the nerve in my mouth and irritating it. With in a week my tooth had abscessed (dont know how to spell that) But it was so painful, I would rather have a baby! It was so bad because not only was it abscessed but my nerve was infected because of the iritation. Anyway I went to two dentists and they said nothing was wrong, because it wasnt decayed at all, and they didn't catch the nerve thing. Anyway I dealt with it for a year. On the 7th of this month, my birthday, it happend again. I wanted to die! But I had not felt good for months, my chest hurt so bad, and I always felt so sick, and I had lost so much weight. That night I was so sick that i just barfed and criedbecause I was in so much pain!, and my temp. was 103. So Rye took me to the emergency room and they helped a little, by making the pain go away, but I went to a dentist the next day and he about died. The infection had spread clear up my face. And he said the poison from your teeth really puts stress on your heart, damages it, and when the infection gets to your brain you will die!! he said a kid in Farmington just died last week because of one! ahh scary hu. My chest pains were so bad! But now we took care of the infection, got rid of that awful tooth, and I feel so different. (I really miss my tooth though :( For the past year I have been just feeling worse and worse, and just had not felt like "me" . I cant believe the difference in me, I finally feel like Portia!!!

We went on a walk today! He was so dang cute. He cant quite walk yet, so he pushed his grocery cart all the way to the park, where you can see (above) he figured out that dirt tasted bad!!! He took a big bite, and I watched him just freeze.......for like 30 sec.......because he was like in shock!
