Bummer or what!<br />
<br />
In June, we went to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for our 5 year anniversary. Dano-boy stayed the week with my parents. Playa del Carmen was so amazing. It was such a great vacation and much needed!<br />
<br />
We flew in on US Airways, something we will never do again! They left (seriously...they left) our luggage in Phoenix and it didn't get to Mexico until the next evening. It was such a bummer since we didn't have any clean clothes or our swimming suits. The airline also told us they wouldn't reimburse us for anything purchased, so we didn't want to spend a bunch of our vacation budget to have it spent on stupid replacement clothes.<br />
<br />
The resort was so amazing! I never would have imagined staying at such a beautiful place. It was an all-inclusive resort so we got to eat all day, every day...and order yummy drinks whenever we wanted. The resort was right on the beach too! The beach was gorgeous! So white and calm.<br />
<br />
We had so much exploring the Mexican culture and spending time together. Here is what we did:<br />
1. Got massages! Massages are a little different in Mexico. Instead of keeping us completely covered, like in the US, they pulled the sheet all the way down to our bums...exposing us! I figured they have seen their share of bums and boobs but it was a little breezy.<br />
2. We visited Tulum, an ancient Mayan town. Tulum isn't one of the grandest places but the homes are still in pretty good shape and a clear understanding of the village set up can be seen. It was cool learning about the Mayans and seeing something so old. I felt like I walked back into a Book of Mormon movie. There were even guys dressed up in Mayan clothes...<br />
3. We stayed the day at an all-inclusive snorkeling park called Xelia. I don't think American would ever allow anything like that. It was super fun just snorkeling around all day. <br />
4. We visited Cozumel, the island just east of Playa del Carmen. It wasn't the highlight of our vacation. It downpoured the entire day and the ferry ride over there was more than hellish...we both got sea sick and luckily didn't throw up but it was a battle. We rented scooters to drive around the island. We drove them around the island and got stuck in the middle of the biggest rain store I have ever seen. It was seriously miserable and everything was closed. But it was an experience...lol. We did some snorkeling while we were there and it was gorgeous!<br />
5. We had a romantic dinner on the beach. :) and when we returned to our room the pillows were turned down and romantic music was playing. <br />
6. We swam with the dolphins. This was clearly the funnest part of the vacation.! Ricardo was our dolphin. So cool!<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed our vacation. I learned a lot about the Mexican culture too, which was really great! <br />

Ideally, we would've gotten away from the snow and cold to beautiful California, but instead we were graced with lots and lots of rain! It rained the entire time! The worst storm in San Diego since 2006. Just our luck...but we did have lots of fun, regardless of the weather.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR98TsvKbK1KFkRD1MJpYVqo0ZCJbpvffMaYnS7mms_rvazuYFbtrC6gkDg3QC3iHuGqE4HX0SC6Yue1m6NOPAdLmbuT5KRUqtX5FOvds52LXBYtwIPVv1ycQnzSz7eUlfagN3nKDN-Ng/s1600/DSCN1221.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR98TsvKbK1KFkRD1MJpYVqo0ZCJbpvffMaYnS7mms_rvazuYFbtrC6gkDg3QC3iHuGqE4HX0SC6Yue1m6NOPAdLmbuT5KRUqtX5FOvds52LXBYtwIPVv1ycQnzSz7eUlfagN3nKDN-Ng/s320/DSCN1221.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588948352471436898" /></a> In Little Italy, San Diego.

He looks so small in this picture! We took him hunting (Jake went and we stayed in camp) in August. He is even wearing his own little camo outfit. It was a fun trip, and not as cold as we expected. He ended up sleeping with me the entire night in my sleeping bag. There were cows all over camp which freaked Jake out! Jake thought there was a bear outside the tent. And my poor babe freaked out when Jake would moo. The face was too sad/cute!<br /><br />I tag Janalyn, Andrea, Hannah, Heidi, and Cheris! And whoever wants to be tagged :)<br /><br /><strong>Rules:</strong><br /><strong>1. Open up your first photo file</strong><br /><strong>2. Select the tenth photo</strong><br /><strong>3.

We flew to Seattle to see Jake's family for Christmas. Daniel did a pretty good job on the airplane. He even had his own seat to sit in during the flight. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451678654740317586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhioXpGFSe77MP2JgAfZA7iL_T6uiob9UZWhrnmVuaALfsc9RmeJPmnnGeYA2qPn6ZBdDfLRyMzmN2RgF6GIk9rn6q9n3D1M3nhZIt6pV-vvcJDRTZkzoPndOG-Ct4P34umw99Uz5Nqn6w/s200/DSCN0849.JPG" />Waiting for the airplane to board...I like baby cleavage!<br /><br />It was so much fun spending time in Seattle. We haven't seen Jake's family for a while (since July) so it was good to catch up and spend some time with them. It was especially exciting because Granny and Papa came up and Daniel finally got to meet his Great-Grandparents Zornes! He also got to spend some time with Great-Grandparents Jones too, which he had never met either! Daniel just loved the attention of all his uncles and playing with Grandma Gomes all day!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451679314957506226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULr1ke2FbB38GP_OEla4qie-I-GZfVg_kyo8pUI4hNiaImohDI0Byav5xJmm8-Rs9K70ajKFKnAMIuXIhqQfIeX4LDULXqrMxnSxHbvPL8v_fwKSlwCA-0DMMZzUnzjumcD-OktNL_sg/s200/DSCN0857.JPG" />Grandpa Zornes and Daniel</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRNioruB-jotSzLlgihHne49UxNMqqU8iD54iKLVjB8ji6qHejDN9aCbeufnZ-o0L9askCmJlEh9h-qLqNqvKsq8Rn8kmkE40mqBhWHS1IGbuY2_tHwbiQ2jUlgdiPowb3Yv_ws6Gc3Fk/s1600-h/DSCN0858.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451679550069479234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRNioruB-jotSzLlgihHne49UxNMqqU8iD54iKLVjB8ji6qHejDN9aCbeufnZ-o0L9askCmJlEh9h-qLqNqvKsq8Rn8kmkE40mqBhWHS1IGbuY2_tHwbiQ2jUlgdiPowb3Yv_ws6Gc3Fk/s200/DSCN0858.JPG" /></a><br /><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgplCmWubl0gTBgLdjOTU-1HB0pgqI-lW2Z9HilaehJxs47q1l67iT-4SbknKRcwaI1do9NcmKAwPkjh6kP5icKqV65sAqNU4udXly0oIzk-DRnD9BDr2sAip5S0Q154JC3FnvAm9utHnE/s1600-h/DSCN0860.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451679731981567570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgplCmWubl0gTBgLdjOTU-1HB0pgqI-lW2Z9HilaehJxs47q1l67iT-4SbknKRcwaI1do9NcmKAwPkjh6kP5icKqV65sAqNU4udXly0oIzk-DRnD9BDr2sAip5S0Q154JC3FnvAm9utHnE/s200/DSCN0860.JPG" /></a><br /><br /></div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Daniel's 1st trip to the beach!

We visited Grandma and Grandpa Denison on Christmas Eve and ate dinner with the family. Nana, Bompa, and Aunt Kim were there and Aunt Judy, Uncle Barry, Trent, Zach, and Alex surprised everyone and visited it too! It was super fun and the food was yummy!<br /><br />Daniel wore his Christmas jammies early...he was dressed up as Santa Claus! He even opened some presents too! He really loved the paper and his MUG rootbeer cup. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445401908631651986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 272px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 185px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_P17SlXqP_UKqiSkovxzdfv-GZxf1z8TYi7av53A3vRMDCyAFSyFXqAPaeZRrX2o6NaaE_BkoyZW1BCr2VSP0-GoBPw_hF83UsCJinfKDfCp4G07oSQDD38prrai9WSBBQVYPJhOvrT0/s200/Christmas2.jpg" border="0" />On Christmas morning, we let him sleep in a little bit and then he joined the fun. I think he was either still tired or tired of opening presents. He was a little grumpy. He decided he would rather eat everything, paper and all, instead of taking the time to open the presents!<br /><br />Merry Be-lated Christmas! <div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445401426729475106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXBDWWnvzqSpqyqIV5OEd1tCo-yIILEZ0a_A8gu36mB08bBQqkEY8Z1XZg-6Spui-HRNqqL0sGNBykhBFjHTQA0RyXbQ-XubBMlv0o6wRgHpnK6vstdId1Df87KgTuJv5e40zuA6zj4bA/s200/Christmas1.jpg" border="0" /> </div></div>Jacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390050014104459902.post-2674768253150141262009-12-13T21:42:00.000-07:002009-12-13T21:50:16.672-07:00For the Love of the Jazz<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FrqPj_bVWgHxft-YEXkuN3XGyFhRXbxC9sZ7kjQxaDUiLxXTijwh4GASVfG_H9huvd52MvitKPEdCPKzj8gwz9XM_ejCQA4a-gKsLCOx1iFBnrWI6fT28kvPLT2XooFGuy1yz6iLSm8/s1600-h/DSCN0793.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 189px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FrqPj_bVWgHxft-YEXkuN3XGyFhRXbxC9sZ7kjQxaDUiLxXTijwh4GASVfG_H9huvd52MvitKPEdCPKzj8gwz9XM_ejCQA4a-gKsLCOx1iFBnrWI6fT28kvPLT2XooFGuy1yz6iLSm8/s200/DSCN0793.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414948723135349266" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Daniel went to his very first Jazz game against the Portland Trailblazers.

Daniel did a great job and everyone just thought he was the cutest thing. His favorite thing of the game was the thundersticks that you pound together.

We welcome Daniel Jones Zornes into the world.<br /><br />He was 11 days early and we weren't really expecting him to come to us that soon, especially on our anniversary. We ended up getting a REALLY good anniversary gift.<br /><br />On Monday, Jake and I went to the doctor and was told that I was finally dilated to a 2! He stripped my membranes and said he would see us next week. Well on Tuesday at school, I thought I had started leaking amniotic fluid. We had visited the hospital 2 weeks earlier for the same concern to only find out that I was peeing my pants. I was worried that the same thing was happening so I just waited until the end of the school before I went to the hospital. Jake and I got up there at about 5:00 and the nurse checked me out. The amniotic fluid test came back negative. i have to admit, I don't if I was ready for Daniel to come but I think I had psyched myself out the whole day planning on his arrival, the news that he wasn't coming was very upsetting. Not to mention how embarrassing it was going to be to go to the school the next day to tell people, again, that I was just peeing my pants. I think the nurse could tell I was bummed out so she told us to wait for about 20-30 minutes and she would check back with us again. Well 20 minutes came and the test was negative again. The nurse was concerned though because I was really wet. She went and got an OBGYN that was at the hospital to come and assess the situation and maybe shed some light on my "leaking." He came in and really couldn't explain it but he did say it seemed "suspicious." He was worried that if I went home and I really was leaking fluid, maybe a high tear, that I could risk getting an infection and it wouldn't be safe for Daniel. He suggested getting induced since I really wasn't that early and just make sure that Daniel came safely. The nurse said she would call my OBGYN and see what he said. While she was gone, Jake and I talked about our options. I guess we thought we had a choice in the matter so we called my mom and Jake's dad to get some feedback on the situation. I wasn't really worried about the labor part, I just wanted to do what was best for Daniel. 20 minutes later the nurse returned with a bag of Petocin and hooked me up. No choice! I have to admit--I was a little shocked. I had psyched myself out all day that he would come, learned that he wasn't. Then to all of a sudden be getting induced and knowing I was going to be an official Mommy in about 12 hours was all so surreal.<br /><br />I got the Petocin started about 7:30 and was moved into the Labor and Deliver room. My parents came up about 1 1/2 hours later to join us. Nana, Bompa and Kim came about 9:30. The contractions started coming on really fast and really intense. They would come for about 45 seconds every minute and a half. I wasn't progressing much in the dilation area so I didn't want to get the epidural too soon to have it not last through the whole thing. I endured the pain until 10:00 and then got the epidural. Holy cow, can I just tell you how freakin' heaven sent those things are!? I couldn't feel anything after. I fell asleep for a few hours, woke up and had progressed to a 4. Fell asleep again and progressed to a 6! And by 2:00 am, I was a 10!! The nurse wanted me to push as little as possible, so we waited about an hour or so before I started pushing in hopes of having him as engaged as possible. At 3:30, the family cleared the room expect for Jacob and my mommy and I started pushing. Luckily my OBGYN arrived in time (I was so worried he wouldn't show up in time) and Daniel was born at 4:04 am on our anniversary day!<br /><br />Being a mom is such a surreal experience. Looking at my little baby right after he came out was so unreal. I just stared at him because I could fathom that he was mine! I had waited 9 months to see him and here he was! He looks a lot like Jacob and even farts like him too :) I'm still waiting to see what traits he has of mine.<br /><br />Thank you for everyone who has supported Jacob and I (and now Daniel) the last 9 1/2 months. Your love has been greatly appreciated. Thank you for being supportive after the deliver. I know I haven't been up to having any visitors or really talking to anyone, so I appreciate your understanding. I am hoping after Daniel and I tackle the nursing task and get back into the routine of things we will be able to have some vistors. :)<br /><br />Enjoy the pictures.

He is weighing in 10 days early, so hopefully I really only have 20 days left until he comes!<br /><br />Sorry we haven't added any pictures....Daniel is so big now, we can't get a good picture from the ultrasound.

I know I am a few days early, but I just can't help but scream from the tops of my lungs, "Welcome Spring!" I am SO ready for warm weather, not to mention the sun. After a cold, snowy winter that brought us a basement flood, a trimester long cold, and expensive heating bills, I am ready to shed some layers and soak up the sun.<br /><br />It's days like today (the temp was like 60 degrees!) that I just want to thank my Heavenly Father for the sun and for the warmth. I can't imagine a place without them.Jacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390050014104459902.post-27268764453483771332009-03-01T09:58:00.000-07:002009-03-01T10:07:06.517-07:00Sewing 101Hi there again! This is a truly amazing piece of history happening today! I usually only blog about my baby Daniel, the days of the ultrasound, but today I am adding in some extra "stuff." Of course it is about Daniel, but...<br /><br />So I have been so freakin consumed with Daniel's baby room that I think I am beginning to make myself sick. Yes I know that he's not coming for 3 more months and that he doesn't even care what his room looks like, but I take such pride in my design schemes that I have been fretting about his room in my sleep. I just have all these ideas and I can't seem to put them into the motion...not to mention that I think Jake enjoys my stress because he has decided he won't start painting the room until mid-March or early-April! Ahh!<br /><br />So yesteday I took a little trip to SLC to go shopping with my Mommy and my Aunt Sylvia to go fabric shopping. The whole ideas seems so normal, right? But if you knew us, we aren't seamstresses. I barely know how to sew a straight line (I am planning on embracing my sewing "skills" after the baby is born and I can take a sewing class)! So here I spend $40 in fabric that might just end up as a big pile of strings! I bought this adorable brown cow print fabric that is super super soft. Yes, this is probably yucky, but I think I am going to make myself a robe with this stuff and just lay around naked in it, it is that soft! Sylvia purchased a bunch of fabric as well and we just have no idea what we are supposed to do with it. Hah, there's for pregnancy hormones I guess :)<br /><br />I'll update you on the finished project IF we get it finished! :) Wish my good luck!Jacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390050014104459902.post-68239940053792267852009-02-21T12:38:00.000-07:002009-02-21T12:41:58.728-07:00More Pictures<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixSUZAr5UzKAUcMz3PFh2ER0jckBNM-3YkM2PrSFFdDAO_3lciLPCdKyubpI5Nyv-W_wa3IEAMUiDzxhNWlvddCsD7V-qypJeAGYaYxH2c1qwcr3XyS1uZ6chwElu4xZmrTI55K7vQhsA/s1600-h/daniel4d8.jpg"></a><br /><div align="center">Here's our favorite picture</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWAhvZee1FAXTQeNpkoMxXO7tw2dCneF4GjjFkoB6_x9WkfopjWy_W0ZTPg66jGvAcSfPjdVNcYDHz5qmDsEO8kAfwM7pcdKeYiIIw97_p4rPNUr-vlyvNvVwKmwXf_7D2aMRtDdqVfv0/s1600-h/daniel4d7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305337721104365202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 230px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWAhvZee1FAXTQeNpkoMxXO7tw2dCneF4GjjFkoB6_x9WkfopjWy_W0ZTPg66jGvAcSfPjdVNcYDHz5qmDsEO8kAfwM7pcdKeYiIIw97_p4rPNUr-vlyvNvVwKmwXf_7D2aMRtDdqVfv0/s320/daniel4d7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDeNOszYYzPaZf9KbX_rHjZiN9gJaEXhlnvYdFKtcJW3LNpzngIc1ODCAIvxo2Wc1k4eYtRdSlYocUsZ_bTSYeSwjbybFSlqfRNH5wJuG46NvBM7gkxopHPXIaK4b5F7FpLAwzwp3xowE/s1600-h/daniel4d6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305337582993615858" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDeNOszYYzPaZf9KbX_rHjZiN9gJaEXhlnvYdFKtcJW3LNpzngIc1ODCAIvxo2Wc1k4eYtRdSlYocUsZ_bTSYeSwjbybFSlqfRNH5wJuG46NvBM7gkxopHPXIaK4b5F7FpLAwzwp3xowE/s320/daniel4d6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_sgZCJ-GWBw_SNpf_UF8jpKm0LfbBCeZa7-74S4BGDADZf1CAOpQpfCs1Q-OZUbKF-a1JCecPFOGFpyX8HqyU4K3p0yYSrdsOm0gaK6K7hx0TCLSBWydgMjxSkreT_IauZbTUmDObdA/s1600-h/daniel4d4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305337511044202466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 255px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_sgZCJ-GWBw_SNpf_UF8jpKm0LfbBCeZa7-74S4BGDADZf1CAOpQpfCs1Q-OZUbKF-a1JCecPFOGFpyX8HqyU4K3p0yYSrdsOm0gaK6K7hx0TCLSBWydgMjxSkreT_IauZbTUmDObdA/s320/daniel4d4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Jacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390050014104459902.post-14620485085720676172009-02-21T11:07:00.001-07:002009-02-21T12:38:46.670-07:00Daniel's First PicturesHi Everyone!<br /><br />We went to the doctor's on Tuesday, February 17th for Daniel's First "Official" Pictures. This appointment was the targeted ultrasound where every body part is looked over closely and monitored for development. We also get a super cool 4-D ultrasound done which captures Daniel in his true glory. We get to see what he "actually" looks like.<br /><br />Jacob's mom Denise was in town for the appointment so she joined us in the room, as well as my mom, dad, and little sister. I think the nurses at the doctor's office were a little overwhelmed, but all well!<br /><br />Everything went well during the ultrasound. The technician said that everything looks great and that he looks like a strong and healthy little boy. Thank Goodness! He was a little shy about his "parts" so we didn't get a real good shot of them. I'm glad he is learning about modesty at such a young age. It is so incredible how technology works. Just a little shift of the gadget on my tummy and we had a whole new view of Daniel's little body. I don't know how the technician sees what she does, but she showed us his brain, heart, kidneys, and tummy. By measuring his femur, his tummy, and his head we (meaning the computer) figured out that he weighs a little over 2lbs and is about 12 inches long! I have a foot long thing inside of me! Crazy!<br /><br />Now for the good stuff. The technician asked if we were ready to see what he really looks like and switched into 4-D mode...duh duh. And this is wha we saw:::<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA8j29sclBHz3ZIriqJBaiJTqjCU6BRnYOYKtBCfNb7rgLj23PGbP-LMdP4r479GG35N5gZIMeMETbw11j0egqBd3F-5MZOcJxvsFdPtrNC5bove5zKoza6-EufOPEO5H6FpG0Mdh9Cng/s1600-h/daniel4d2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305315595567280514" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA8j29sclBHz3ZIriqJBaiJTqjCU6BRnYOYKtBCfNb7rgLj23PGbP-LMdP4r479GG35N5gZIMeMETbw11j0egqBd3F-5MZOcJxvsFdPtrNC5bove5zKoza6-EufOPEO5H6FpG0Mdh9Cng/s320/daniel4d2.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjf24MQ3A4cs6Igy8MA9HdGarlI_yQownj18LXp1PaszjYhIz8nLtdX_5zdqHYjSNe-b9UxxnCn797caQvKH8gqfG5F1nU-HCUfpvWDqLXTdXirvQPVFtajt7QsBlBeevQLT_zyVycbek/s1600-h/daniel4d3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305320334872112514" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 249px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjf24MQ3A4cs6Igy8MA9HdGarlI_yQownj18LXp1PaszjYhIz8nLtdX_5zdqHYjSNe-b9UxxnCn797caQvKH8gqfG5F1nU-HCUfpvWDqLXTdXirvQPVFtajt7QsBlBeevQLT_zyVycbek/s320/daniel4d3.jpg" border="0" /></a>Jacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390050014104459902.post-65956971114799977032009-01-06T19:09:00.000-07:002009-01-06T19:14:05.668-07:00It's a BOY!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNOInEZaRUUScLcocewbAhofSPS1dqU-D6UZc5oh9oo5c70q-_UkLZPqwz3hdhzNt6MKG_YhiDNnhRelz0hBA73HaFFZA1MJmniaxbt-Pb7qQfK58Mzbke_PjHwnYoPiBELFxddVaodj8/s1600-h/ItsaBOY.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNOInEZaRUUScLcocewbAhofSPS1dqU-D6UZc5oh9oo5c70q-_UkLZPqwz3hdhzNt6MKG_YhiDNnhRelz0hBA73HaFFZA1MJmniaxbt-Pb7qQfK58Mzbke_PjHwnYoPiBELFxddVaodj8/s320/ItsaBOY.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288368898509419282" border="0" /></a><br />Hi all,<br /><br />I don't get to write very often, but today is my day. Amanda and I went to see the doctor yesterday and we found out we are going to have a boy. At first, the doctor said that he was being a pain in the neck because we couldn't really see, but when the baby heard that, it decided to show off the goods. If you look closely, there is an arrow that points to the...well...you know what I mean!<br /><br />Ever since we found out, Amanda quit addressing the him as "Baby Zornes," but now excitedly refers to him as Daniel Jones. Now all that is left is to train Daniel to be a Football star so we can retire early and golf everyday!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />JzJacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390050014104459902.post-18112634182454050782009-01-03T20:39:00.000-07:002009-01-03T20:43:35.094-07:00Baby Zornes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5d2xkxm1DjIaD8KRFTGZY1fp7Ba_4gD5jCfGfNIAccKh5sISSBNF4xYpGJfWUpc-uvk88oa3LVYBCY8_Unds02yXzgiPlOK8hGFdLKBVAeUNwVTM_31MdaG4HRCEQISfS6xVEyAcwYI0/s1600-h/scan0001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5d2xkxm1DjIaD8KRFTGZY1fp7Ba_4gD5jCfGfNIAccKh5sISSBNF4xYpGJfWUpc-uvk88oa3LVYBCY8_Unds02yXzgiPlOK8hGFdLKBVAeUNwVTM_31MdaG4HRCEQISfS6xVEyAcwYI0/s320/scan0001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287278750820131442" border="0" /></a><br />I know this is super late, but I wanted to post the "new" ultrasound picture. We went to the doctor on December 1st at 15 weeks. We got 3 pictures taken, but this one was really the best one. The baby was being a little stinker this time. We couldn't get a very good shot of him/her. We still don't know what we are having either.<br /><br />The baby is sucking his/her thumb :)<br /><br />We go to the doctor again on Monday, January 5th. The baby will 20 weeks old, so we are hoping (fingers crossed) that we get to figure out if we are having a baby girl or baby boy. We don't really care what we have, we are just happy Heavenly Father blessed us with a little spirit, but it would be nice to know what we will be having. We'll let you know as soon as we know. :)Jacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390050014104459902.post-64597414883357423932009-01-03T20:33:00.000-07:002009-01-03T20:39:52.396-07:00Big ThanksSo graduation happened...phew--<br />You would think since I've been graduated I would feel more relaxed but I feel even more stressed out. With graduation came a lot of snow (we almost died in Sardine Canyon, or at least if felt like it), lots of family in town, and a major cold. So I ended up getting sick the very last day of student teaching. Perfect timing, if you ask me, because it was a real doosey. I ended up being sick for 3 weeks and it turned into Bronchitis. Ugh...<br /><br />But anyways, graduation went well. I spoke without fainting, my family all arrived in Logan and back to Salt Lake safely, and I am finally finished. I realized something huge with the whole graduation thing...I am really really loved. I want to thank everyone who traveled to Ogden to celebrate my graduation with me. I know the weather stunk, but I really truly appreciate the family and friends who love me enough to have celebrated it with me. It's your support and love that got me through the last 4 years.Jacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390050014104459902.post-72468167349384391962008-11-23T22:09:00.000-07:002008-11-23T22:19:15.934-07:00I've been Tagged (or at least I think I have)<p>8 THINGS I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT:<br />1.

December 13th, 10:00 am, USU Spectrum. I guess you can say I am excited! I can not wait until I walk in the freezing temperatures, in a gown of black and a goofy looking hat and carry out a $20,000 paper that says that I spent 4 years in a class learning how to be a teacher! :) I am actually very excited for the day, except for one minor piece of information...I have to speak at graduation. So everyone can say, "Oh but Amanda, that's an honor...blah, blah!" It's a freakin scary honor, if nothing else. After telling Jake the bad news, he replied, "I think that's great. That is a really great opportunity." It appears that many people are willing to say that, but they never had to stand in front of 600 graduates, plus family, and faculty and spill their insides out about the last 4 years at college. It's a little overwhelming, if you ask me.<br /><br />So I guess I will spend my Thanksgiving vacation fretting over my graduation speech....ahh!<br /><br />But anyone reading this, if they feel inclined, can attend my graduation. The more the merrier. Like I said, here are the details:<br /><br />Saturday, December 13<br />Procession begins at 10:00 am<br />The "official" commencement begins at 10:30 am<br />USU Spectrum<br />Logan, UT<br /><br />Just let me know so I can get a ticket for you (tickets aren't required for the commencement service, but are required for a food gathering after).<br /><br />Thanks!!Jacob and Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578675653202452569noreply@blogger.com
