Friends!

Hey Girlies!.... I finally got my act together and figured out this whole blog thing, i have a blog now, but hardly know how to use it. I am doing some scrapbooking (yes at midnight.... still dont sleep) of high school pictures and missing our friends, so i thought i would say hello. Doesn't it seem like it was yesterday we were sitting in my parents hot tub talking about our future husbands and putting couples together? wow time flies.... now half of us are married, with babies and pregnancies.... HOLY COW!
We'll here is a little up date on my life. Ted got the internship for the summer in MAUI, we will be leaving the end of may! I am so excited! especially to be with my family, lay in the sun, swim in the ocean, and to actually claim hawaii residency no matter how short the time! I am still at UVSC getitng closer and closer to a major in Psychology. Ted is still in Pharmacy school in SLC for another two and a half years, and sadly to say....no babies for at least two years... so you can stop asking...jk.
We'll I love you girls... keep posting, i love to hear what is going on with your lives! vos (haha remember that?)

p.s. sorry about the cheesey pic... i dont have any new pic in my comp, and dont know how to download new ones (of course) and this one is from our engagements 2 1/2 years ago...wow

I just wanted to post, since I haven't in a long time! I need to make my own page. I will soon... anyways, I just wanted to tell the world that I love my man!!!!!!!!! I have been sick all weekend with a cold and he has been at my beckoning call. He would do anything for me and shows me love while doing it! Thanks hon! Love you mucho!

Christmas

So this is the only picture we took this entire Christmas! So sad... I'm not sure what we were thinking. We went and visited my brother on Christmas because he had to work... so he gave us a tour through the fire station. Hope you all had a great Christmas! Only one month left 'til we get to meet our little guy!

Just wondering...

I was just wondering if you think I love this boy? I love him so much! We all have so much fun playing with him. This pic was of julianne and I being goofy in front of my moms computer. I love Jack Howard :)

Tunes to listen to....

So, I really don't have much to post, so I decided to post a picture of a musician whom I adore!!!!!!! Seriously... her new album is beautiful! From the first to last song it is filled with talented vocal and piano bliss. Go out and buy it at target for only $10. You will be completely satisified :)

Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Jack

So today Jack had to go to the doctor to get 5 shots it was so sad he made the saddest faces it made me very sad I wont lie I got a little teary eyed I just hate to see him so sad! Anyway everything is good with us Brian goes to night school everyday except for friday so we never see him, we have to just tell ourselves its only 2 more years, he is so decicated and works is butt off, I am so gratful for him and all he does i dont think I tell him enough! I love you babe! Anyway here are some recent pictures of jack oh by the way he is getting so big its so sad it goes so fast he now weighs 12 pounds wow cant believe it!

Cleveland's trip to Newport!

So every year the entire Cleveland family goes to Newport beach for a family reunion. We stay in a beach house, and it is a Blast! Here are a few pics of our favorite things to do there... This is our favorite Italian Restaurant in Laguna Beach! It's called Pomodoro, and it is unbelievable!

I thought this was the cutest picture of Casey's Grandma... The best part is his Grandpa in the background coaching her on how to hit the ball. He kept yelling, "Elbows Up Betty"!
Our friends picked us up from the airport in Chicago and we went straight down-town to eat! In the background is Centennial Fountain. It shoots across the River that goes through the City.
Casey and I went to the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach. It is the most amazing show!

ClYdEs 2 YeAr AnNiVeRsArY!

So... Yesterday was Travis and my anniversary. Since I have not uploaded more pictures to my computer I decided to google a bunch of darling wedding cakes. Dont you love them??? Anyway, so crazy to think that two years has passed. We were married on August 4, 2005 at 11:30 a.m. in the Mt. Timpanogas temple. It was so beautiful and wonderful! I could not ask for a better husband who loves and cares for me! We are having a blast and it just keeps on getting better!!! BRING ON THE 3RD YEAR!!!!!!

The Stephenson's

Sad to say, the last pictures that we have updated to this computer were from our honeymoon. (Which was already 4 months ago!) We went to Carmel, CA and stayed right on the golf course, in fact the picture of the golf course was taken from the porch! It was so beautiful and relaxed, we loved it! And if you're wondering about that last picture, we saw it in the window of a store there. (The store was pretty much the biggest junk collection in the world! But we thought the sign was funny so we took a picture.) Rob and I moved not long ago to an apartment in Orem and are really liking it. Rob is still working up in Salt Lake every day and I'm still working at the Timpanogos hospital in a physical therapy office. Life is good, and really fast these days! Rob and I are planning on going to Italy next summer, so we're just working extra hard! Anyway, it was wonderful to see all of your pictures and to see what you all are up to!

Israel and Emmett

This is at Sheperds field in Bethlehem (where the angel told the shepherds Christ was born), right outside of Jerusalem.
This is the Dome of the Rock in Old Jerusalem (a muslim mosque) on top of Solomon's temple. The supposed Holy of Holies from Solomon's temple is right in front of it (not pictured.)

Here is Emmett, he's now almost 9 months and is crawling EVERYWHERE! I'm going nuts in this small house. But I could not have asked for a happier, more fun child. I don't think we'll ever have more kids because he seems unbeatable. I'm glad we're doing this so we can see at least see each other in some way. Love your guts gals.

THIS FUN PHOTSHOOT!!!!

I truly can't believe I figured this blog thing out!!!! I am so excited! ha ha But, sad to say that these pictures are the only pictures I have on this computer right now. So I posted them to see if it worked... and now I will explain (I am not trying to just show off pictures of me :)). We have a family friend that works for modbe clothing. She called my sister and I one day and asked if we would be interested in doing a cool anthropologie, antique photo shoot for their fall catalog. I thought it would be fun, so my sister Marie and I decided to do it! It was so much fun! We actually shot outside of this really neat antique store with a bunch of cool junk inside! It was a fun experience! I will tell all about Travis and I and how our wonderful almost 2 years of marriage (Aug. 4th) has been. I will also post pictures of the TWO OF US!!!

TA TA FOR NOW :)

Emily Cleveland

These are pictures of us in Chicago! The first one is Casey and I on our second anniversary... We ate at the top of the Hancock building and this was the amazing view! The second one is Michigan Avenue. Chicago has the most beautiful down town you will ever see... And the last one is Tara Jackson and I at a Sox game... The time is going by so fast out here! I can't believe that I've lived in Chicago an entire year of my short married life!

The Howards

This past sunday we blessed baby Jack. It turned out great! His full name is Jack Thomas Howard, it was so cute to listen to Brian bless him. It was a great blessing. Jack is 1 month yesterday its so weird hes getting so big. WE LOVE HIM!

Thought I would add a picture of Brian and I for fun.

Brian & Lauren Howard

This is so fun to see what all of our friends are up to. Well Brian and I are loving life every minute of it, with our new addition to our family little baby Jack. Its so much fun but a lot of work. I had him June 30th at 3:03 am and he was 19 inches long, we named him Jack Thomas. We love him its a lot of fun! I am a stay home Mom while my hubby works full time and starts school full time as well, so i will never see him but its worth me staying home with the babe. He is now almost 1 month wow time flys he is already getting big! Brian is so cute with Jack and loves to just hold him and cuddle with him. Its so cute! He is a really good baby and loves to be held. We love being parents, we could not imagine our life without our little one.

HOPE THIS WORKS!!!

Hi friends!!!!!!!!! Emily Cleaveland and I were discussing about starting a blog with our friends! It can be somewhat confusing so I hope things work out! We all want to hear from our friends and whats up in life! So, go ahead... POST!!!!
