Happy birthday Bristol

2012-01-12T23:20:00.000-08:00

My baby turned 3 today...we just got done throwing her a fun party with most of her friends from primary and nursery. We had so much fun trying to toss the horse shoe on the pole, coloring toy story 3 pages, and just playing all together.
I made my first two tiered cake...
We had pizza for everyone and brownie pops to snake on before cake. It was great!
There was such great turnout with "friends" for Bristol...all day she kept saying "I want my friends" I was so glad she was able to have an evening full of none stop playing with her friends :)
I do have to say...Bristol makes one great "Jessie" :)

Here are some birthday funnies:
Landon blowing out Bristols birthday candle twice :)
Abby and Vivian bringing all the toys from Bristols room and stuffing them into her princess castle...
Aaron and others holding Bryton...that poor baby didn't get any attention from mommy :(
Bristols huge mess opening presents...And all the kids ooooing and awing every time she opened a gift :)

My Big Girl

2012-01-02T23:10:00.000-08:00

My little girl is no longer little anymore....this last Sunday she started primary as a Sunbeam. And today we took her to Scandia and she road her first roller coaster all by her self (she was tall enough to ride alone)

It has been the best adventure yet raising Bristol...she has been and will always be a blessing in my life. I have gone through so many emotions as a new parent from happy to anxiety high stress levels. I will never forget what it was like to hold her in my arms for the first time and seeing just how fragile she was...I didn't want anything to hurt her.
I wouldn't say I was an ultra protective momma but when it came to taking her to the park...let's just say my anxieties were very high. And just before the new year I took her to the park and for the first time I wasn't afraid to let her play by herself on the gym. (I used to be afraid she would fall off the slides or out the holes on the top of the jungle guy)

This is going to be a great new year full of new adventures for Bristol and me. I can't wait :)

Happy New Year 2012!!!

2012-01-01T01:01:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics of the night...waiting for the new year to start...

Christmas Time

2011-12-30T14:20:00.000-08:00

This Christmas we had my mom, brother Brett,& my aunt MaryAnn...over to spend Christmas Eve and Day with us this year. I haven't had my mom and brother over for a couple years now so it was great that they were able to come out to see my family this year.

Our house was full but I wouldn't have it any other way :)

First we celebrated Kyle's 27th Birthday on Christmas Eve morning

Before the Christmas Eve party at Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bob's...mom was having fun taking pics of everyon

We also couldn't resist getting photage of Brett sewing...lol

Here we are at Christmas Eve waiting for Elven the Elf to come...

Here comes Elven the Elf...The kids loved him...he brought lots of fun toys and presents for everyone.
Elven is Santa's helper and he decided this year to come alittle early and bring a special present to all the good
Gilrs and boys of the Nemrow & Goodman Family.

Bristol wasn't to thrilled to sit on his lap...hopefully next year she'll be more comfortable

Here we are Christmas morning after church and Bristol is waiting for Daddy to check and see that Santa came :)

Primary CN Ward Christmas Party

2011-12-14T14:20:00.000-08:00

This by far has been the best idea our ward has had yet for the kids...douring the week before they gave the parents a chore chart for them to fallow and Bristol was so excited to get a sticker on her chart everytime she made her bed, brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and picked up her toys :) and all this to earn obediance bucks to shop for christmas presents for the family.
when she got to the party they had a store set up that she could go shopping....and stations set up to make ginger bread men, candy houses and lots of other fun stuff... it couldn't have been a more fun day for her :)
Thanks Young Women for setting this up :)

FHE Monday Night

As a family we are trying to get better about having a regular family home evening night. So last week I started it off and this week was Travis turn...for the activity we went to the pumpkin patch and next week we will be carving it out. Here are some pics from Monday night...

Monday October 3rd 2011

2011-10-10T21:28:00.000-07:00

This week we had a family emergency...poor baby Bryton at three weeks old got a high fever and was admitted to the hospital. He started with a temp of 100.4 and fluctuated back and forth between 100-102 temp. We were in the hospital for a full week for Bryton to get the full amount of his antibiotics. We are so happy he took well to everything the doctor did and that he is back home and heathy again. The doc said it was a bacterial infection in his urin but their not sure what caused it...we are going to a urologist soon to see what he thinks.
I am so grateful for all the love, support and prayers we all received for Bryton. I don't think we would of made it through this trial without our friends and family there by us.
Thank you!

Sept. 11th 2011

2011-09-20T01:56:00.000-07:00

At 4:13am Bryton Reed Nemrow was born.

Saturday night I was feeling ok with the contractions they were getting stronger but felt a little to far apart...Travis kept asking me all night if I wanted to go to the hospital bit I was nervous that if I went they would send me home for false labor (which already happened a few days ago that week) anyways...I wanted to go to Olive Garden so we called Travis sister Brooke and Kyle to come with us. And while we were ordering food I had this really intense contraction and almost sqweezed Travis hand off and latter another came and I was digging into his arm...poor guy!
I still didn't want to go to the hospital so after dinner we went and got cold stone ice cream. They kept coming but I didn't think they were close enough. So we went home and put Bristol to bed. Then they started coming quicker and then my mucus plug came out and finally I said we could go to the hospital. So Travis calls our friends the markarians over to get Bristol...it's about 10:30pm. And we take off to Pomona Valley Hospital. When we get there Travis runs out to get a wheel chair for me and then pushing me he runs down the hospital halls while I'm in labor. (it was like how u see it in the movies...I couldn't help but laugh a little while this was going on).
So of course I get admitted right away and things start progressing fast. I almost had back labor but luckily he turned and I was able to deliver with as little pain as possible. (of course I got the epidoral) and within five hours I delivered Bryton.
He was 7lbs 6oz, 19 1/4in. Long
He is such a beautiful baby...though I did feel bad for the little guy...he came out looking like he just got out of a fight. His eyes were all puffy and he had all these scratch marks on his face.

Now it's been one week and one day...and Bryton is growing so fast already :)
I love my little man so much, Travis and I joke sometimes that he Looks like an old man when he rinkles his face :)

End of Summer Update....

2011-08-24T00:11:00.000-07:00

Ok so I have been such a slacker lately... I am so behind in my posting it's not even funny. So here is the update for the rest of the summer.
My last post was about us finally deciding the fate of our son's name, Bryton. Later on during the month of July we started looking for a place to buy...now that was a headache! During the process we looked at several condos and finally found one we could get a bid on that the sellers agreed to. We were in escrow for a month and then found out we couldn't qualify under the Homepath loan and needed to see about getting FHA approved...by then I had a month tell my due date and we had to already be out of our apt so we backed out and found this condo to rent that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We got to stay in our ward and we got the three bedrooms we were looking for...it just over all turned out better than if we would have perused this other place to buy.
So now we are renting our first condo(non apt).
And during all the excitement of packing, moving, you name it I had my baby shower. Which was a nice break for me. Since I couldn't do much anyways with being 8 months pregnant it was nice to take some time and have some fun with friends and family...while poor Travis was helping Blair and Shanna move and then later move us out of our apt.
It was a great shower both my friends Megan and Melonnie put it on for me...

Bryton got spoiled like none other....he is going to be the best dressed baby boy around...and I am way better prepared with diapers this time than I was with Bristol!!!

So now after the baby shower/moving day we had to stay at Travis parents house for a couple days tell our rental was ready for us. And after that final move in day we got to packing pretty quick...thanks to the help of some wonderful friends. And after all that I can't believe it didn't put me into early labor...this baby boy must not want to come out...

It's been quite a roller coster during the month of August. But through it all we managed to still have fun...we went to the beach a couple times, hung out with friends, and just tried not to let the whole house situation stress us out too bad.

I'm so glad we are almost settled into our new place...poor Bristol still ask to "go home" when we are at our new place, but she is now sleeping in her own big girl bed and staying there throughout the night :) soon this place will start to feel like home more as time goes on.

So now we are at the end of summer and we just celebrated our 5 year anniversary and my 28th birthday.

I have there weeks left of my due date and now we are just sitting ducks preparing for baby Bryton :)

The Fight is Over!!!

2011-07-07T16:55:00.000-07:00

Ok, so as everyone knows we have been fighting over a baby boy name now for the last 7 months. I originally wanted to name him Reed James Nemrow but Travis wasn't too set on the name Reed so we started thinking again...and I thought Dillon Reed sounded nice, but again that didn't go well...so Travis thought of the name Chase and I couldn't stand the thought of naming my child by the same place I bank at...too weird for me.
Then Travis was going to give up and just let me pick whatever name I wanted and I didn't like that...I felt too guilty. So when Travis came up with the name Bryton I finally said ok I do like it even though I wasn't the one to come up with it.
So his name will be Bryton Reed Nemrow.
When I asked Travis how he came up with the name Bryton...he said he was reading a talk by one of the apostles and they mentioned the city Brighton in their talk and it just stuck with him. so we shortened and changed the spelling a bit to make it look more boyish and that's how it came to be :)

Happy 4th

2011-07-04T22:18:00.000-07:00

Palm Springs Golfing Tournament

2011-06-28T19:32:00.000-07:00

This summer Dan Markarian invited Travis to go on a golfing trip with his brother Pat and a friend Scot. Travis was so excited to go :) So the since there was an even number of 4 they made it a tournament, Dan and Travis were team "Dirty Birdie". The guys left Monday afternoon and played the first course at PGA West Nicklaus Course. Dan and Travis won this course. After golfing they headed to the time share of Scot's and ate dinner and vegged out.

Tuesday they played 2 different courses Tahquitz Creek bright and early that morning, Dan and Travis won and the 2nd course of the day they played at Shadow Hills later in the afternoon and they lost.

Wednesday morning they went to Dick's, the mall and to a buffet lunch. They played Indian Wells on the Players side in the afternoon and Dan and Travis won the tournament.

The winner got a trophy, Go "Dirty Birdies"! Travis had so much fun he now has his trophy sitting on his desk at work :)

2011-05-30T23:12:00.000-07:00

Here are some Pics...

I made her a new play dress that of course she got it destroyed by the second day :) oh well...it was fun to make it.

Happy Birthday Travis :)

2011-04-20T20:34:00.000-07:00

Travis is turning 26 on Wed. 4/20/11 !!! We have been celebrating it all week.
First Trav couldn't wait tell Wed. to get his big present so I let him go get it on Sat. He wanted a certain Taylor made putter (he's been wanting this for about a year or so now) and finally he got it on sale for a really good price :)
On Sunday we celebrated his birthday early with his family before mom and dad left for Hawaii.
I made some chicken and cheese enchiladas(per Travis request) and mom made the sides. We had a great time eating out in the sun and Trav and Kyle went swimming.
Bristol gave Daddy his gift on Sunday with the family...a Dart Gun and Mike and Ike Candies.
So since he got so many things early I might have to find a little something else for him on his Birthday...we'll see :)
Now its Wednesday 4.20.11---HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAVIS---
The day before Travis was playing basketball after YM and one of his friends landed on his thumb bad and now Travis can't move or do anything with it...luckily it was on his right hand and he's left handed. but poor guy he had to cancel his golfing day and to top it off he went to work and everything that could go wrong that day did :( So Bristol and I went to the store again to find some goodies to surprise him with and so we got him more Pepsi's and some sour patch gummies that he loves...
So the celebrating started great and and didn't end so good...hopefully we can make it up to him sometime soon...

4 months Pregnant exactly 16 weeks and 5 days along today

2011-04-01T10:25:00.000-07:00

I love this...This is how I was when I was 6 months along with Bristol....I don't know the gender yet, but I have labeled the baby as a boy :)

St. Patric's Day

2011-03-17T22:58:00.000-07:00

It was a full day of fun and work...we started off with going to the church and setting up for the Relief Society Birthday Party (Which was lots of fun) and then for lunch we went to the park with friends for a park day.
And thanks to Melonnie Winters Bristol had a St. Patty's Day shirt to wear for the day :)
And OMG Bristol is such a daredevil too...she when up to the tallest part of the playground set and went down on the steepest slide...I almost had a hart attack... I was so glad when Leah started playing in the sand and Bristol wanted to also...(I'm such a paranoid mom at the park)

After the park I went back to the church to finalized setting up and to start cooking for the dinner...the party was a success, but I am glad that its over!!!

Annual Utah Cabin Trip

2011-02-15T16:37:00.000-08:00

OK so I decided not to make a post of the cabin trip this year....if you want to see some fun pics and video photage, you'll just have to check out the cabin DVD that we have.
The Cabin was lots of fun and and full of crazy dancing and making weird funny faces!! It was just The Clark Family and us and we had a blast just hanging out playing in the snow...

Happy Birthday Bris :)

2011-01-12T21:39:00.000-08:00

So I wanted to make Bristol's B-Day cake...but I was just getting over a cold that week and didn't want to pass on any germs so with the help of my friend Melonnie Winters we made the Timmy Time Figurines and Albertson's made the cake.

And thanks to another great friend of mine...Sara Warren she openned her house for Bristol's party :) (I Have a small apt. and don't think I could of fit everyone that was coming)
One of the activities was a coloring station of Timmy Time characters...Bris was so excited to color with her two best friends Abby-Vivianne (she usually says their names together...so cute)

Here are some of the decorations we set up for the Timmy Time B-Day Party!!! I was so excited...everything turned out way cute!!!

Cake Time!!!!!

Bristol was so spoiled with all the fun toys and outfits she got....thanks everyone for making it a wonderful 2nd Birthday for her :)

Preparing for Bristol's Party

2011-01-10T16:56:00.000-08:00

OK so we had a great start to making the Timmy Time Figures and by the time we got Timmy and Mittens done...Bristol woke up from her nap and of course wanted nothing but to hold me...Quote Bristol "I hold you" so we had some crazy time getting the kids entertained and trying to finish the other two figures.

Luckily I had my friend Melonnie over this afternoon to help me prep for Bristol's Cake...so we were able to get these done within a couple hours. They turned out so great and I can't wait to see the final product.

So from Left to Right we have: Ruffy, Yabba, Timmy, & Mittens

Melonnie worked on Mittens and the nose down on Ruffy...I finished Ruffy's head but i think his eyes need to be re-done...maybe later...and I did Yabba and Timmy

So I'm happy to say that it's almost done :)

And now Bristol is much happier that her daddy is home and spending time with her :) she is such a daddy's girl!

Guess What!!!

2011-01-02T21:51:00.000-08:00

I'm Pregnant Yea!!! we have been trying for a couple months now and we were kinda hoping that it would happen next month but who cares....we're so excited!!!

But man-o-man I have only been pregnant for a few weeks now and already two emotional break downs and major bloatiness all day every day, I swear people are going to think I'm further along than i already am :)
And I can already tell this is going to be a completely different pregnancy than the last one.

Thanks Giving Dinner

2010-11-25T22:52:00.000-08:00

Thanks Giving Dinner was at Nancy and Bob's house again this year...Dinner was delicious and Bristol & Spencer were the best entertainment money can't buy...They loved dancing and singing with the Christmas tree and turkey decorations. Bristol was having so much fun she even tried to trade the Christmas Tree she was playing with for the Turkey Spencer had...but Spencer wasn't on the same page "Bristol...Don't touch my Chicken!" It was such a fun night!

Later on in the evening...Nancy made a 911 Call for Grandpa Nemrow...he has been having trouble Breathing and gratefully he has great doctors that are looking after him now...

now we end the evening with hanging out, laughing, and eating great deserts...

Turkey Trot -- Thanks Giving Morning

2010-11-25T22:34:00.000-08:00

Our Thanksgiving Day started with running or as I did, Walk a Turkey Trot...It was held in Long Beach this Year and you had a choice of either doing the 5K or 10K and since Travis and I aren't the best in shape we stuck with the 5K. I was really impressed with what we did having Bristol to push and not really training for it at all :) Travis did it in 38mins running the whole way and I did it in 56mins walking and pushing Bristol.

I think this would be a fun family Tradition to keep at every year....Thanks Shanna for setting this up :)

oh and for a funny note: Travis's bib name said 8 and mine was 22

I kinda goofed when Shanna asked what we wanted to name our bib number and I thought she asked for a number and not a name so oops!!! but Travis loved it so much he thinks we should keep it as a tradition if we do this again :)

Christmas Picture Time :)

Family Photo Shoot...

we took family pictures the day before Thanks Giving

Congrats to the Graduate !!!

2010-11-13T21:42:00.000-08:00

I Don't know if you can see but Travis is on the top section of the graduates the last one right off the isle, 4th from the right row.

So after four years of schooling Travis Graduated from the University of Phoenix... It was so neat to be able to be there for Travis and watch him walk across that stage. The commencement was great to watch and every time they ended and we all clapped Bristol clapped along as well like she actually knew what was going on...lol

CONGRATS TRAVIS, YOU DID IT!!!

Happy Halloween :)

2010-10-31T23:32:00.000-07:00

For this years Halloween I asked Travis what he wanted to dress up as a family?...and that I was thinking of making Bristol a fairy costume. And Travis said NO, I want Bristol to be a Hamburger for Halloween! So then I said OK so you are the Fry's then and I'll be the Soda...One Big Happy Value Meal :)

October 30th

Trunk or Treat

Bristol's favorite part of the night was coloring...as you can see :)

Travis took Bris Trunk or Treating, while I stayed and passed out candy. Travis said she wouldn't take candy from anyone but me and sometimes when they gave her candy she would give it back..lol

I was so proud of our costumes..and a little sad to say I did not make Bristol's Costume...I wanted to but with making Travis and mine i didn't have time and the patience to figure it out. so luckily Old-Navy had one. Bristol makes the best Hamburger, don't you think?

October 31st -- Happy Halloween

Time for Trick or Treating!

Bristol was so brave...she walked to every house with Mackenzie and Garrett and wouldn't let go of her candy bucket (Trust me I tried to take it from her thinking she would like a break and no way was that going to happen)

pumpkin picking

2010-10-25T21:48:00.000-07:00

For Family Home Evening we decided to go Pumpkin Picking with Bristol...she was way too cute...

On our search for a pumpkin patch in the middle of Ontario's Country Farms...we found Amy's Farm...and walking in they had a map for us to take a tour and pet some animals at our own risk :)

We started off with the Turkeys...

Then we got a little side tracked with the veggie garden...

Finally we found our way to the petting zoo part of the tour...now these aren't your normal petting zoo animals and they got a little too friendly when they started to eat Bristol's sweater :)

(Here's my proof...if you look closely you can see the goat trying to eat Bristol's Sweater)

Behind the Goats were some crazy puffed up Turkeys...I think these are the ones they are saving for Thanks-Giving Dinner....they did not look too happy to see people right then...

When Travis showed Bristol The pig he said "look piggies" and she wanted to run and touch him so bad...I think it comes from playing the piggy game with her toes too much :)

Pumpkin Picking Time :)

Bristol giving the pumpkin she picked to Dad

Happy Halloween Everyone!

oH i forgot to mention ..... Bristols FIrst Hair Cut!!!!

Bristol and Aunt Ashlee's Playing with the Piano

Bristol Loved, LOVED the Trampling & Swing Set!!!!!

It was so fun to see Bristol playing with her cousin Spencer :)

Hair Cut Day :(

Church with the Clarks

Brooke and Bristol doing a Duet

So to begin with we had a nice long car ride to Ashlee & Jake's house Friday...Bristol did surprisingly well!
On Saturday we hung out with the family and watched some of Conference...Spencer and Bristol played so great together...Spencer would run and Bris would chase him around the house all day. oh and they loved to play in the back yard...it was hard to tare her away from the outside....especially the trampling :)

For the Sunday afternoon session me, Travis, Nathan, Brooke, Kyle, & Ashlee all went down to the Conference Center for Conference...it was so nice to be there in person. ( I was surprised to hear the choir sounded exactly the same as it does on TV, but it was still beautiful and great to hear our Prophet and Church Leaders speak.

The next day Brooke and I went down to Heber City and worked on her wedding invitations and then i stayed the rest of the week with my mom in Heber....we went shopping and worked on some sewing projects and just hung out :)
And I was so excited to make dinner for Dan and Mom...Dan always raves on how great or bad meals are so I thought i would show him what little cooking skills i have...and make the best thing i know how to make. (I call it "Margarita Chicken" without the margarita) And dun dun dun...they loved it :) Yea!!

It was a great week with mom and we had a great weekend with Ashlee and her family....thanks for letting us come and spend some time with you guys!

-Much Love-

Ok I know its been a long time since i've posted....

2010-09-27T20:53:00.000-07:00

So with all the running around after I got back from vacation to PA, it seems like there has never been enough time for me to just sit and relax at home with Bristol...I have got to get myself back on track and on a schedule!! So to keep everyone up to date on whats been happening with the Nemrow's...From Aug 25th to Sept 11th we went as a family to PA to see my folks and also to be at my brother Jason's wedding in IN for labor day weekend. it was so much fun and sooooo nice to see my family all together again...even my mom was there at the wedding and we haven't had everyone together like that since who knows when. First off Bristol and I went alone for the first week and hung out with my dad, Lisa, & Grandma Reed...we went to Lancaster, PA and saw the Amish, that was pretty neat. it's so crazy to think how different they live their lives from us and also how inspiring it is to see how they just live that way according to their faith. we got to meet with a Amish Quilter in her home...she was amazing and did all her quilts by hand...my step mom lisa just loves her designs and bought two of her quilts.

PICTURE OF QUILTS And of Lancaster

When Travis came up to PA for the rest of the Trip he met us down in IN for Jason's Wedding and drove back to PA

PICTURES OF WEDDING

After we got back home we took one day to rest from traveling to IN and back and saw some Covered Bridges and then the next day we went to Washington DC....and that was so cool...we were so bummed that we couldn't stay longer than a day...we only got to see the Holocaust Museum and a few monuments...(A Great Teaser for us to want to come back).

PICS OF COVERED BRIDGES AND TRIP TO DC

Disclaimer...I fixed it all now as you can see :)

Sorry there aren't any pics yet....I will update them (I promise)

After we got home ... our computer crashed with a virus and we have been fighting it for a few days and finally with the help of Travis Mom and Peter the computer guy, we got it fixed :)

Now Travis is bogged down with finishing school.....and working with scouts. And i'm focused on getting Super Saturday pulled together.

I thought that after the summer stuff was over that we would have a break ... but it seems that our days have increased with who knows what to do...its funny i mean i know Ive been busy with all sorts of important stuff but when I'm here trying to write it all down my mind must have gone to sleep...I can't remember a thing :}

NOW LETS END WITH PICS OF BRISTOL DOING FUNNY THINGS SINCE WE'VE BEEN HOME

Like Sitting in the dog cage...

Summer Part 4 -- Bristol

2010-08-29T09:03:00.000-07:00

Summer is coming to an end and here is a little summary of Bristol this summer...she is 18 months old in these photos...

__________________________________________________

Bristol loves to play golf with her daddy....

______________________________________________________

this last month we tried some new Mexican restaurants and they always give Bristol a lolly pop.... she just goes to town with those...

and every time we have have chips and salsa she has to dip the chips and share them with daddy and mommy...

______________________________________________________

For my birthday we went to Olive Garden and people must think we are crazy parents with seeing Bristol eat like this...she is shuch a crazy, messy eater :}

Happy Birthday Katie

2010-08-22T19:44:00.000-07:00

Today is my Birthday --- Happy 27th --- Trav says I'm almost 30 and I say you can still round the numbers down to 25, hehehe!! I guess that's what I get for marring someone younger than me...

Well It was a rough start this morning...I had a really bad head cold and all I did was sleep tell we had to go to church...and then after my stomach started cramping up really bad...but as soon as I had some of that yummy cheesecake, my stomach settled (it knows what it wants, lol)

For Dinner my mother-n-law made my favorite: homemade spaghetti sauce with angel hair pasta, yummm!!!
and for dessert my wonderful husband got me my favorite Cheesecake Factory's White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. Oh man was that delicious :) And the best part is that there is some left overs which I didn't think there would be for me to snack on :)

Thanks everyone for all the many Birthday Wishes I got on Facebook and from Family and Friends at church....Love you all!!!!

August 12th

2010-08-16T16:13:00.000-07:00

August 12th is a big day for our family...this year we celebrated Bristol turning 19 months and our 4 year Anniversary (both on the same day). It's crazy to look back and think its only been 4 years....it doesn't really seem that long. Time just flew by so fast; with having Bristol in our lives and just everything else thats happened inbetween.

for our anniversary Travis got himself some new golf clubs and we added a bigger stone to my wedding ring :) then a week later we went to get some breakfast at the same place we went for our honey-moon. It has been a great month so far and we will end it soon with my Birthday coming on the 22nd :)

I love my family so much and I am so greatful that the lord has blessed me with such wonderful people to share my life with :) Luv you Travis and Bristol...kisses and hugs...

a rough day at the farmers market

2010-07-29T09:12:00.000-07:00

Every Wednesday my friend and business partner get a booth at the chino farmers market and set up shop for Little Miss Broadway and Little Misters...this last Wednesday 7.28.2010 I was taking Bristol on a walk around the market and she tripped and when her hand slipped from mine she wasn't able to catch herself in time before she face planted it on the concrete :( so this is her second biggest owie of her life so far.... her first one was from running into a corner and getting a huge bump on her forehead...
Here are some pics from the scene of the accident to afterwards on the next day:

At the farmers market

The Next Day

Having fun with Paint...

2010-07-28T11:05:00.000-07:00

So my friend Melonie and I are working on some new items for Little Miss Broadway and Little Misters....so she came to me with this idea a of doing a faux beaded necklaces on onesies...here is the one I did for my daughter...let me know what you think!!!!

Happy Half B-Day -- my little girl is 18 months old :)

Happy 4th of July Every Buddy...

We had so much fun going on the boat and seeing the Fireworks...this was Bristol's second time but at at least with this one she was awake during the whole thing :) Thank you Terry & Ted for letting us come and celebrate the 4th of July and Blair's B-day with you :)

Summer Fun Part 2

2010-07-03T21:31:00.000-07:00

July 3rd 2010

Grandma Nemrow was coming back from the Hospital today so we stopped by to visit.

______________________________________________

Us Nemrows Love to go to the Beach...

we were at the Capistrano Beach with Blair & Shanna, Terry & Ted, and Mom & Dad Nemrow.

Bristol is still getting used to the sand and water...she still doesn't like to step into the ocean but she is getting pretty used to the sand and loves to take her rake and rake the sand :)

Bristol and GiGi had fun sharing Cheese Fishies together...

Here we are by the campfire getting ready for hot dogs and smores...

Poor Bristol....We didn't think we were going to stay so late into the evening so I didn't think to bring a change of warm clothes for Bris to wear.... so she ended up with some of my stuff...then later we found some of Garrett's and Mackenzie's clothes to dress her in after she spilled cold water all over her...

We had so much fun....I love these get-togethers....

Summer Fun Part 1

2010-06-22T11:15:00.000-07:00

So I've been very busy this summer and haven't had time to blog much....sorry :( So I'm going to give you all a summary of whats been happening with the Travis Nemrow Family... :)

________________________________________________________________

So for my Christmas Present Travis said he would take me to a murder mystery dinner. And on June 19th we set the date with some friends and went to see Keith and Margo’s murder mystery dinner theatre in LA...

We had so much fun and had some great entertainment....I would totally recommend this to anyone who wants to do something fun and different :) The food wasn't that greatest but the entertainment made up for that quickly :)
During the evening the detective picked on some people and Trav was the only one to luck out...Dan, Megan, & Me were all called on to do something and when he picked on me he called me hula girl with cause of the flowers in my hair and had me smell a drink to see if it was poisoned...

At the end we had to make our accusation on who we think committed the murder(s) and our group ended up getting the most ridiculous & goofiest guess award and they read our accusation out loud and totally embarrassed us making us wear some goofy looking glasses...

have fun checking out the pics!

____________________________________________________________________

next on that same weekend we stayed at this beach house that Nathan and Debbie were renting out for a couple weeks and hung out with the whole Nemrow Clan having fun playing on the beach and hanging out.... It was so fun to have Jake & Ashlee's family there with us. Here are some pics of the festivities...

__________________________________________________________________

OMG She wont stop SCREAMING!!!!

2010-06-10T14:48:00.000-07:00

So this morning everything was going smoothly and great....Bris was happy and she was even great for the baby sitting at the LA Fitness Gym this morning :) But dun dun dun after her nap she went crazy and wouldn't stop screaming, I mean it was horrible. I didn’t know what to do and all she wanted was to nurse :} so I just went around cleaning the house with a screaming child attached to my hip for about an hour and then I sat down and my computer trying to ignore the screaming and after 10-20 mins she finally gave up and started playing by herself....man I hate it when I have to let that happen. Usually I just give in and nurse her but I stood my ground and after 1.5 hours she gave up.

--Time to rest now-- YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!

Game Nights with The Markarians

2010-05-21T08:45:00.000-07:00

we had the markarians over a couple times and when Bristol goes down for bed we pop out the card games...now they wont let Megan and me play skippo together anymore...do to some disagreements on how it should be played...hehehehe (sorry i'm so stubborn) and so we play some type of poker with our chips being fruit loos :)

And here's Trav trying an attempt at playing

"A Minuet to Win it"

my first quilt

2010-05-20T16:59:00.000-07:00

My fabulous Mother-n-Law inspires me all the time with her crafty ideas. Lately she has been taking on the task of making blankets and not just an ordinary blankets...Quilts! and so I was inspired and took out my sewing machine (which hasn't been used since I got it) and attempt my first quilt....YIKES!!! It is a lot of work and I am almost there -- I think! I might have been thinking too big and will shorten it to a throw for the bed instead of making it into a king size. I don't know...what do you guys think??

I made it big enough so far so it will cover the top of the bed but I need to add more for the edges.

I just love these colors and think its Turing out way nice, but I’m not sure what to do next...Hummmm...

Bristol's First Trip to the ZOO

2010-05-15T11:00:00.000-07:00

First things first....we saw the Gator...

Then we saw the Giraffes

Bristol Loved seeing the Gorillas...

Last we saw a Peacock with its feathers all spread out....that was pretty cool....

Thanks Shanna for a great day at the Zoo!!!

"Here ya go"...

2010-05-13T14:13:00.000-07:00

Bristol's new favorite phrase to say is "Here ya go". It was so funny this morning when Trav brought Bristol into me and the first thing she said to me was "Here ya go" :)

So when I went over to GiGi's to do some laundry Bristol started playing with the dogs

by saying: Here ya go and handing them their toys :)

They must be related :}

2010-05-03T11:13:00.000-07:00

So I was reading my sisters blog today and realized that her littlest son and my baby girl are so similar in everything that’s unhealthy & notty to do… for intense Owen loves Sweets—and Bristol loves sweets and especially Oreos--yummmy!! so I have to be sneaky when feeding her, I’m trying to give her veggies or any other source of protein...all she eats is pancakes or waffles, bread, crackers, & Cheese... Also Owen doesn’t like veggies—and Bristol will take a bite at least, but as soon as it doesn’t taste to her liking she will spit it out. She does that with any kind of meat too. And that sounds like Owens diet too from what I’ve read.

And for what is notty they both seem to have a knack for getting into anything and everything that is at their level of height… I think I will have to take after my sister and baby proof everything and anything that opens to stuff I don’t want her to get into :}

Getting into trouble...

Dancing with Bristol

2010-04-30T18:43:00.000-07:00

So about almost everyday now Bristol and I have come up with a new mix of music to listen & Dance to and we are loving the mommy and daughter time we have together.

I am so glad that my baby girl loves to dance!!

It is so cute--i will have to get her on tape dancing one of these days :)

Girls Day with Megan -- 4.24.10

2010-04-26T14:01:00.000-07:00

On Saturday Megan invited me to come to an Angels Game with her. So we left our husbands and baby to have a girls day. We left the house about noon and headed to the Angels Game. We sat in the shaded part wich was nice if you had a light jacket on and poor megan didnt have one...it was a great time however the Angels were LOSING BIG TIME so we decided to leave in the 8th inning and see a movie, but we werent in luck catching one at a good time so we went to the shoppes instead and window shopped abit and had some yummy food at Johnny Rockets and Cup Cakes for desert..........

Here are some Pics Below:

_________________________________________________________________________________

First things first we attended an Angels Game

Sad news--the Angels lost 7 to 1 (pitty point)

Megan was really messy with the peanuts -- I kepted saying Grose, but she wanted to keep making a mess

Second -- Johnny Rockets (our husbands were so mad that we went there without them)

when we got home that night -- I made a mistake and texted megan and her husband read the message, opps!

Poor Guys they don't like it when we leave them out of things -- especially food!!!

And Last -- we had some unbelievably yummy cup cakes

Our Favorite the Pumpkin & Red Velvet

These cup cakes are just mouth watering... all I can say is yummmy!!

Thanks Megan for a great baby free girls day!!!

Happy Birthday Trav

2010-04-20T23:18:00.000-07:00

Trav turned 25

Yeah....Sick Days are over....for now...

2010-04-08T17:26:00.001-07:00

Bristol is finally feeling better....I'm so happy! we had a scary start to the week but after some quiet time at home everyone is much much better :)

Sick Bed

2010-04-05T20:44:00.000-07:00

She may look happy in that picture....but I can tell you she had a rough night and so did

Daddy & Mommy....
Poor Bristol....we left GiGi & Grandpa Nemrow's house early cause Both Daddy and Bris were not feeling so well....when We got home I took Bristol's Temp and she was not happy about that :( Bristol Had a Temp of: 101.7 (that was scary for us cause bristol has never had a temp before and we didn't know what to do--we called as many people as we can think of that could give us good advice :) THanks everyone!!!

S0 I was told from a nurse on the phone that a good home remedy for a cough is to give the baby 1/2 a teaspoon of Honey, and from Shanna that if we give her a popsickle it should help cool down the fever...so We tried everything and it worked great....thanks!!!!
