Before I got pregnant I started a blog called "Sugar Go Down." It is still on private except for a few who were following what I was doing. I started kick boxing and eating small meals daily. I have lost ten pounds and had to stop but since I have been pregnant, I have maintained it. Kinda crazy that it is easier it seems to lose weight while first pregnant than when I'm not.....
Yes I am pregnant, and I am so thankful that yesterday my morning sickness didn't hit me too bad! I hope this is the early start of the future! I have been so blessed it is nothing like Faith's, but I normally get sick around five at night. Yesterday I didn't go to bed till around ten and then I was wide awake! Hope the goodness is keeping it real. I see my dr again this friday. She wanted to see me back in two weeks. I have never had such close appt's before this early in pregnancy but I am excited to get another ultrasound. This is how we announced the pregnancy. Kelli and my father in law Bill, and sis in law SHeryl were the only three who got it right away!

you ever heard the quote " life happens when you make other plans?" That has been my life, and you know what? I wouldn't change a thing.
First started when I went to Dixie, my plans :
Go to school & get teaching degree. Go on a mission.
Reality:
Went to school. Got married to a man who became my best friend through thick and thin. 6 months later got pregnant.
My point is, the Lord has always been watching out for us. Through the thick and the thin, my little family has been taken care of, grown in so many ways.
I have thought that 4 kids would be fun, but I came to the conclusion that we were only going to have three. And, we were fine with that. I could hold babies without getting baby hungry and I was ok with where our life was going and excited for it. It was more affordable...... But plans change. My mother in law passed awayin october and with that came some amazing experiences that I can't write on here, but one thing I can write is how I saw her live her life. She loved one thing in life more than anything, she lived around this, she served around this, and was happy around this. It was her family. It got me thinking, that when I am 65 what really do I want that will make me happy? yes teaching school will be nice, being an emptynester for maybe a week will be nice, but then what after that week?! I want to be with my family. Extended family and inmediate family. I want to be around my grandbabies and my kids. Well, a lot of experiences happened fast that made me realize I knew there was another baby. But trying to convience my husband of this was going to be the test. Let's just say, you don't mess with God's plans when he answers your questions to your choices. Trent came on board, but little did we know the baby was already on board first :) Yes I am pregnant and due in August. I was thinking maybe it would happen in five months like faith. . I am surprised how everything fell together so fast, it makes me sad to wonder why I got pregnant so fast and I have friends and family members who can't. I don't know why we go through the trials we go through, but I think the key is showing compassion to others during their trials, and I will try to be very sensitive to those who are so deserving of kids and can't have them. I know I am just blabbing on right now but this is my journal and it's funny I have looked back on this blog to see at what point I was feeling what, when I was pregnant 4 years ago with Faith. YES FOUR YEARS AGO! It took me a while to get pregnant with her, so I was surprised that I didn't even blink with this one. I am not feeling as sick as I did with her, *praise the Lord* and I hope it only lasts the end of the first trimester. I wasn't going to tell anyone until I found out what I was having, but we ended up telling the kids and they of course told the primary class :) Plus I always look like death for 3 months so it's only obvious later down the road. I am scared this time around, I never was before. I am scared about the whole nursing situation due to my surgery and that I won't provide enough. I am scared that I gave EVERYTHING away and this time will be just the basics! I'm just scared of having a 4th, for judgments and all. But for awhile now I keep feeling there is a kid for me. I would say boy, but will find out. I am excited to raise one more. I really have been blessed with deep down good to heart kids. Some of the things I have craved : cottage cheese & cucumbers. At this point I have food aversions which are the worst . Today was a pretty good day and I can handle it if it's like this the rest of the month and when I hit 2nd trimester I hope it's like my first two!

Christmas came and went so fast. The Friday before Christmas, I helped my sister in laws decorate for my niece's birthday. We did a "Winter ONEderland" Party. It turned out really cute, and was fun decorating and helping dip chocolates. I made this tutu and highchair tutu for her. The party was fun to see Trent's family.
Normally I wait until Jan to put down the Christmas but this year I took it down the day after! We celebrated Christmas Eve at my Opa's like every Christmas. We came home and had our own little morning Christmas. The kids let us sleep in until around 7 :30 and then we went back to bed afterwards. That would've never happened in my house growing up. I remember we would wake up at around four and my parents told us we had to wait until at least six. So my siblings (those who were awake) and I would watch tv. Flintstone Christmas, The christmas Story were some of the things on tv, every christmas day. After we had our family christmas, we went up to my mom and dad's for dinner. On Thursday we had our Turner New year party at Kelli's. We had a white elephant party and it was perfect timing. I got rid of some old tapes that my mother in law had called "It's worth the wait" or "Strengthening your marriage" (With a picture of a couple from the 70's on a bike.) it was pretty funny. I also had a "Barney Goes to School" with a little craft I made that I didn't have room for. My sister ERin got the barney movie, and it was pretty funny. Then on Friday my little family headed to St.George to visit Trent's Dad. It still is weird going there without my dear MIL, but there are pictures of her up to remind us. He found a song called "My first christmas without you" that made me want to bawl, listening to him listen to it. FOr New years Eve we grabbed some Panda Express, opened some glow sticks (that we got from the white elephant party) and had some confetti. We all went to bed around 8! On Monday we came back home to get ready for school the next day. It was nice to come home with Christmas already put away! I am sure this year will go just as fast as last :)

2001-2011

Ever year, my Mother in Law wanted a letter tghat explained all that happened in our lives followed with pi cures, so she could put it in a scrapbook. I am in St. George this week, and decided to take the journal entry's that I made and put them all on here so when I get home, I can put them in my scrapbook too.

2001
Trent and Jamie met at Dixie College in St. George, Utah at the Bloomington Caves. Trent hung out with one of Jamie's friend's Terrence Stevens, and through him the two met. A week later the two were inseparable. They had lots of fun going to school dances, bonfires, other school activities, hanging out with the roommates, and most of all being together. Trent worked for Morgan Pest Control. Jamie wored for Dixie Kid's Daycare. Trent came up to Jamie's for Thanksgiving. In dec 2001 after Jamie's bishop interview, that night Trent took Jamie up to the Red Rocks to over loo St. George and the temple there. There he asked Jamie to be his Eternal Companion. Christmas was spent at the Turner's house that year. New Years was spent with the Coes. (The engagement spot is now being turned into a highway :(. That New Years Eve we danced in the center of the street while veryone was around us holding hands... perfect time to get engaged if we weren't already:))

2002
In Jan. Jamie moved home to plan the wedding.. Two months being apart long distance was very hard. Jamie went to St. George during Valentines day to visit. When Jamie had her bridal shower she got to see Trent again, it reminder her of how she will see him in heaven. He looked so much better and taller than she remembered (And he was already good looking in my head) and was so excited to soon be his wife. On March 1st Jamie had her endowments aken out in the Bountiful temple. A week later, on March 8, 2002 Trent and Jamie were married for Time and All Eternity in the SLC Temple. (We took the song from Michael McClean "We can be together forever someday" And switched it out to "We can be together forever March 8th") The Olympics had just gotten over so there were still posters up all over SLC. They were married at 1:00 and had a reception at Ivy Lanes Reception Center in Ogden. They honeymooned in BearLake. They lived in St. George for 8 months while they both worked and went to school. In Sept they were excited to find out they were expecting a baby!!! In Nov. they moved up to Layton in an apartment.

2003
In May Trent and Jame welcomed a beautiful 6 pound 13 ounce baby girl. They named her Hannah, after one of Jamie's ancestors who came across the plains. Hannah was just a petite little thing, but gave much joy to many. Trent worked for R.C. Willey's and Jamie was able to stay home with Hannah. In the winter of 2003, they moved into a rental house in Washington Tr. Utah

2004
Hannah loved playing with her cousin Brinley, and going to Grandma's house often. Hannah loved to sing, dance, and play outside on the swing. Hannah had Nana come stay a week while Jamie went on a trip with her sister. Trent was doing the same thing for R.C Willey's but for a new company. June of this year, Trent and Jamie were excited to announce they were expecting once again!

2005
On Jan 28th Jamie went into preterm labor and had a beautiful 6 pound 5 ounce baby boy named Austin Kenneth coe. Kenneth was his grandpa's middle name. Nana and Papa were on a mission this time, so the family was excited to show them Austin, when they returned. Austin and Hannah kept Jamie on her toes and enjoyed every bit of motherhood. In dec. Trent and Jamie moved to an apartment in ogden. Trent decided to go to school for his journeyman in plumbing.

2006
Jamie enjoyed the apartment they had in ogden. There was a swimming pool so they all went swimming a lot! They only had one car, so Jamie would get up early to drop Trent off at work. The kids got used to being good in the car, so when they made trips to St. George, their kids were good! Once again Jami eand Trent served in the sunbeams at church. Jamie and Trent always served together as either nursery leaders or sunbeam teachers. In Dec Trent was offered a job in Utah County at Northwind Plumbing. They moved into an apartment in Orem.

2007
In March Jamie and Trent bought a house in EM. Jamie started teaching her own preschool in the home. She had 13 students that first year. Hannah was put into dance and they loved their neighborhood. Trent enjoyed working for northwind. In Nov Jamie and Trent were excited to be expecting their third child.

2008
After a long hard pregnancy, they welcomed a beautiful 7 pound 5 ounce chubby cheeked baby girl named Faith Sienna Coe to the family on 08/08/08. They named her Sienna after Trent's great great grandma. After Faith was born, Jamie and Trent started to meet some great friends, the wilkerson's had one son who was 8 and lyndee culdn't have any more. Lyndee (the mom) had a hard time with this. Jamie was outside and made Lyndee hold faith After that, lyndee and faith became great friends. Lyndee claimed that "faith" made her faith in the Lord strong and that things would work out in due time. The other family was the RObinsons. Everweekened they stayed up until 4 AM playing games with everyone. Jamie continued to teach preschool and Hannah started kindergarten.

2009
Hannah started first grade, Austin is preparing for kindergarten and loves to make his sisters laugh. Faith learned how to walk and we celebrated her 1st Birthday. On her first birthday, her little Buddy lyndee also found out she was finally expecting a baby! Faith continues to melt people's hearts. Hannah is doing great at reading, and austin loves to make everyone around him laugh. Trent's company merged into a new one called Pacific North. They are thankful for the job that he has in this hard economy. Together they are on the activities committee, nursery leaders, and Jamie is also on enrichment. The Lord continues to bless them all in many ways. They couldn't ask for anything more than a healthy family, great friends, and a great job.

(THis is all I have done so far, the funny ironic thing is the last thing I said because within two years all that would change.)

To Martha- I am here in your home, MISSING you SO much. I wish I had be more eager in finishing this scrapbook. However, here is the last 2 years:

2010
This year was probably one of the hardest years for our family. I won't go into details, but all I like to say is through the clouds you find a rainbow, and through our trials we have been poured out in blessings. There are many dear friends that I met this year because we all went through similar experiences throughout life. They really are angels among us. Hannah started 2nd grade and Austin started kindergarten! I stopped doing preschool and started doing school online. Trent's job took him to Montana, so I got to play "single Mom". Martha came to the kid's reflection program, and they won. Trent got laid off of work the week of his birthday. We had already planned on going on a cruise, so we went. We went to the Bahama's while Martha stayed with the kids. I loved Coco Cay. The water was wonderful and the island was beautiful! We added a new member to our family this year.. a yorkie puppy named Charlie.

2011
This year Hannah started 3rd grade, and Jamie was able to be her room mom. Austin started 1st grade. Jame will do his parties next year. Jamie started babysitting for her neighbor twice a week. Jamie started her own, party business and has fun doing that on the side for fun. Trent and Jamie received so many wonderful blessings this year, a lot of them were in disguise. This year had it's share of bumps too, but the gospel poured through in amazing ways. Jamie was called as librarian and then into Youn WOmens. She loved teaching those girls that they were worth it. She was able to do girls camp this summer. Trent helped his brother in law out that summer. Faith likes to tag a long with her sister and brother, and they are amazingly good to her. She comes up to Jamie ad says "I need you!" The kids love to watch netflix and enjoy family home evening. Austin is doing amazing in Reading. In Oct, we suddenly unexpectedly lost Trent's mom Martha (Who this book was for) It was a great loss, but her sweet memory lingers on. In Nov we all went to Trent's dad's house for Thanksgiving. Christmas came and went fast and we celebrated it with the Turners. Here I am now celebrating New Years at Trent's Dad's house. This year has been the year of miracles. Even though on the outside looking in you would ask why?! With death, loss,no job, and other things.... you would wonder what I was thinking. It is something I can honestly say that while I don't wish those trials on anyone, the testimony and sweet tender mercies of the Lord are very prominate during and after the storm. I am grateful for my gifts that the Lord has given me, for the trials to go through, for the blessings, for the people we love, and for every opportunity to say " Wow, the Lord really does love me!"

2012- A year of Great Changes. Let's hope to get healthy, educated, & spend quality time with people we love. Let's watch the mircales pour out and be anchord in the Lord through the calm and the storm. This year is Trent and Jamie's 10th Anniversary! Hannah turns 9, Austin turns 7, and Faith turns 4!!! Crazy that my kids are so old, and that is already 2012! THey year the Myans said was the last!! SO while it's crazy, there should be loads of fun is on the way once again this y
