BABY #2 ON THE WAY!

So FINALLY I am able to log into the blog! so I think we all need to post more things often, I love hearing about what is going on in everybody's life. For those who don't have facebook ( I am pretty sure we all do because it is so addicting) I am pregnant again! The crazy thing is that the due date so far is Dec.25th......I sure hope it's before or after Christmas but we will see. We are so excited and it's too bad that it takes 9 mo to see our new baby, I wonder if this time he/she will have blond hair like my husband.....although I think my genes are a little more dominant haha. So I am 5 weeks pregnant so far and I feel great, unlike my first pregnancy, I was always sick and so tired.
We are moving to Utah at the end of July, we are not sure if it will be in SLC or more like the Orem/Lindon area. So that's pretty much my recent update, I hope you are all doing great, lots of hugs for everybody!!!

We're Up and Running...Sorry

I wanted to apologize to everyone...there were some issues with this blog but we are back up and running so everyone post!!

Why I Miss Team...

This is Maranda:). I was looking this past week through a bunch of pictures of team and I realized how truly wonderful it was. I almost feel as if the time spent through our high school ballroom team I took for granted.

These are a few things that I miss about team:
-Dancing all the time so I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight:)
-No matter where you were or who you were with you knew you were with family through the people you knew from team.
-The practices where Paul Winkelman called all us girls "Rapunzel".
-Having "stoning" parties
-Getting pumped up and screaming "For Coach" before we danced Elvis at Nationals.
-The drive to California
-DISNEYLAND...need I say more.
-Watching the "girls" and "guys" videos on the bus. Ya we're hilarious!
-Seeing how happy Coach was when we danced perfectly.
-and SO much more!

What a blessing for all of us who had the wonderful opportunity to be on the best ballroom team on the world!

Hello everyone! I am getting soooo excited for school to start! I will be taking 18 credits at UVU and I just got a new job being a nanny for a 5 month old baby girl! Being a year out of high school, ALL (well most) of the boys are out on missions. They are anywhere from Taiwan, Africa, Brazil, England, to Florida  it's crazy and I am loving it! I am excited to spend the next couple of years with the girls doing crazy things haha! I will finish my Associate's Degree by this time next year then I plan on doing getting very serious with my photography and hopefully taking online courses from New York Institute of Photography. Alicia (my little sister) just moved to Cedar City to attend SUU. Originally she was a piano performance major. She decided to do ballroom and changer her major. She is following in my footsteps haha. Hopefully she will last longer than i did. Other than that, life is just normal. Kind of at a stand still but I am enjoying it very much! I love you all! 

Hi.. This is Matt or Matty or whatever you want ;)

So... Nothing new is really going on in my life. I am just still dancing a lot! I am a junior now at BYU and am a dance major. I am still apart of the Folk Dance team.. making this my 3rd year with the program and 2nd year on the tour team. During spring term our team went to Eastern Europe for tour and it was an AMAZING experience!!! This next spring we get to go to China! so a lot of good opportunites are happening for me. :) I also recently auditioned for the musical AIDA at the hale center theater and was cast to be in the male ensemble as a featured dancer. I still do live at home with my parents but they actually report to the MTC on Oct. 6th.. They are going on a mission!! They are going to Ukraine which was actually our last stop on our folk dance tour. Anyway, I have written enough but does anyone know how we can send these posts or other things to peoples e-mail.. or just an e-mail sent to everyone that says something else that has been written?? I don't know.. but that would be a good way to keep in touch with everyone :) But, I hope everyone is doing good and if any of you are around lets do something soon!!! & come see my shows.. I will try and post when they are. THATS ALL. --> LOVE YOU ALL!

Bald!!!

Danny has a lot of hair and he is always getting really hot because we don't have ac at the apartment, so last Friday I started trimming his hair a little, I was very careful and it was looking good, then my husband comes in and tells me that he could do it faster, so I say ok but be careful. Anyways, next thing I know, I look and he was buzzing his hair!!! he thought I wanted him bald! I was sooooo sad, my husband felt pretty bad. Now I think it's kind of funny, but I sure miss his hair!! it's growing back fast though, so that's great news. I just wanted to share that with all of you, I hope everybody is doing great!! oh by the way, I will be in Utah all next week so if anybody wants to get a hold of me let me know!!

Surprise Birthday Party

So this past weekend I threw a whimsical surprise birthday party for Adam!! He is so hard to surprise so I was way proud that he had no clue:). Our good friend Megan who made our wedding cake made Adam's birthday cake. It was adorable! We had the party at the Provo Marriott hotel and all or our best friends were there! It was nice having people there to show their appreciation and love for Adam!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!

Jessica & Daniel Hinkson

As most of you know, I am married and have a baby now!!! My husband Daniel and I have been married for almost a year, our anniversary is Aug. 3rd. I can't believe it has been that long and I definitely can't believe I have a child. I love being a mom, I m so glad I was part of bringing him to this world. His name is Daniel, like his daddy, but we call him Danny to not get confused :) He really has straight hair but on the right picture I did his hair curly with some gel:) He is such a sweet baby. He is 6 weeks old and every day he changes, and he is more alert and awake. Being a mom is so rewarding, specially when he looks at me and smiles and tries to talk to me by making baby sounds. I could go on and on about how happy I am with my life. I think it is great that we have this blog to keep in touch with everyone. I miss all of you!!! my husband and I hope to move to Utah in a year or two, after he graduates. He is so amazing, everyday I fall in love with him all over again, just like the first time.

I guess I'll put the first little update on here:). Adam and I have been married now for almost 7 months and things are going great!! We are living in Provo and still attending BYU. Adam's major is physical education with a focus in coaching and I am majoring in Sociology with a minor in American Sign Language. I am working for the Parade of Homes Magazine and Adam is working for IM Home Furniture. We are planning on starting our family in about a year or so which works with our school schedule but not when I see cute baby clothes and I want to buy them all! :)
