Baby on the way!!!

It's official....I'm pregnant!!! I know most of you have known for a long time I just have not yet blogged about it. I have been putting it off because I keep thinking of what good things I'm going to tell everyone about, and yet, the only thing that keeps coming to mind is how so dang sick I have been. I will be 16 weeks on Friday and I think I am showing already. Truthfully, most of it is my gut I have always had but now I don't care about sucking it in anymore so now I have a dun lap. lol. No, Kyle and I can both tell that my belly has grown. It really is amazing putting aside the loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, sore body parts, growing belly, no motivation, can't walk into the kitchen without running straight back into the bathroom, HATING the smell of onions, working with people that have B.O. that smells like onions, working with people throwing up, starting IVs on myself, telling Kyle his voice makes me nauseated...lol, man, I really don't mean to be venting. hahah. No but truly, we are so excited to be trusted to be having a child. We did talk about it and that we could be ready to start trying and then....BAM!! Positive pregnancy test! We were very lucky that we didn't have to wait and try, try, try again. We had our first ultrasound at 12 weeks and it was very cool to actually see our child and hear it's heartbeat. That made everything more worth it. I go back to the Doctors on the 22nd to listen to the heart again and then my next apt will be telling us the sex of the baby. CAN'T WAIT! Anyways... I will keep updating as the days come and go. We are going to Mexico on Saturday and I'm just praying the Mexico weather will stop this nonsense throwing up. To all you who have been dealing with me so well....THANK YOU!!!!!! Oh yea...I'm due June 26th.

Humbling Moments

My best friend Katy was a few weeks over due with her baby boy. She went into the doctor Monday afternoon and she was sent to the hospital for an Emergency C-section. Baby Keegan was not doing well at all and was flown by Life flight to Primary Childrens Hospital in critical condition. To see a mother who had just given birth have to say goodbye to her son and was told to say goodbye b/c he might not make it through the night was not a moment anyone in this world wants to go through. The instant love that was formed for this brand new child that was fighting for his own life was amazing. It's sad to say that it takes moments like these to make us stop in our tracks and take a moment to think about life and how blessed we are in our every day lives. Baby Keegan.....keep fighting little guy. We all love you and are thinking of you and your parents constantly. Don't give up! If your interested in following Baby Keegans progress, they made a blog for him. www.prayersforkeegan.blogspot.com. Anyone who would like to join in and pray for this blessed family, please do! We need everything ounce of hope and faith out there.

Christmas 08

Merry Christmas everyone!!! So my dad got in town last Sunday and stayed with Heidi and Morgan for the first few days. Then on Christmas Eve they all came over to do our gift exchanges and have our old tradition of Stouffers lasagna. MmmMmmm. Then Heidi and Morgan headed to Beaver, UT (where he is from) and we finished our shopping. Christmas morning the boys woke up early while I got every moment of sleep I could, we put in a roast, and then opened gifts around noon. Here are all our many presents. I went way over budget this year. After that, we ate our yummy roast, and then went out to Kyles land and took a tube and knee board out along with the four wheelers and had a blast. Here are the pictures of the days. Sunday night we will be having our Christmas with my mother. Oh Boy!!!

This is a big ol icicle that was hanging out of our drain. Pretty cool.

This is my cute husband opening his Wii!!!! He waws soooo excited! :)

Christmas Pictures

Well Kyle and I are slackers and have been wanting to send out Christmas cards but we didn't have any cute pictures. So I called my sister Heidi and her husband Morgan yesterday and asked if they wanted to go take pictures up the canyon where there was some snow. It was FREEZY although you couldn't really tell in the pics. We would run and take our coats off, snap the picture, and then run back to our coats. It was lots of fun b/c Kyle and I haven't had any pictures of us taken in a long time. Heidi and Morgan got really cute ones too of them and their cute lil dog but those are on her camera. Then we went back to the house and made some yummy dinner and just hung out. Thanks you guys for being so willing on such short notice. But heres the pictures we got. (they look like engagements but shhh....)

Well this one actually really hurt. Haha, I guess I haven't tested my strength lately but when I tried to lift my feet off the ground, it felt like my insides ripped from off my stomach lining. lol. That explains the face.

Oh...If you do want a Christmas card it might still get to you in time. Please comment and leave your address. Even if I already have it, I have probably lost it already. Thanks.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

So Kyle and I decided it was time to go pick out a Christmas tree. We wanted to go cut a fresh one down last weekend but we had to do our family Thanksgiving instead. So we drove down to the end of our street and went searching. After many rounds through all the trees, I finally found the one that spoke out to me. lol. It was marked $39.99 (which by the way is so much cheaper than what we ever paid in FL for a tree). Well, the person I am, I negotiated and we settled and bought the tree for $29.99. Here are some pictures....

So we got it home and had many words about this lovely tree. For the life of us, we could not make it stand straight in the tree stand. Don't worry Kyle...Life goes on, haha, and we finally GOT IT!

So I bought the lights with white wire which is so not allowed on a green tree. I also did not buy enough so we had to make a late night run to Walgreens for more lights. This quick tree event turned into an all nighter. But I was very excited to top the tree with my Precious Moments angel.

I know its cheesy, but from the time I was little I have always liked Precious Moments so last year I went and stole all moms ornaments and I found her as the tree topper.

I think the tree ended up so dang pretty. I love the red, green, and white lights. Thanks Kyle for putting up with me:)

So Kyle had a WONDERFUL time trying to put lights up. hahahahahaha. This is the first time we have had a house so I wanted lights of course. Well, I once again didn't buy enought lights so half way through the process.....another trip to Walgreens. Man, that place loves us. They do look wonderful though and it feels like Christmas now in our home.

P.S. It did snow today which was so fun to see. This will be my very 1st cold, maybe White christmas of my whole life. Wahoooo, I will try not to start anymore fires :)

Merry Christmas everyone!!
