Well....

I now can't wear my jeans which made me so sad...

I honestly didn't even think about the day that would come and it just hit me..

UNTIL......


I had a brilliant idea. So we have all heard of Bella bands? Yes, well I did not want to pay a stinking lot for just a little piece of fabric so...3 dollars and some cents later I now have 2 bella bands made personally by yours truely!



I was so happy once I put those favorite jeans on again:)


24 weeks Picture

I think that I have grown since then but...looking and feeling are different now a days!

The pregnancy is going much better. I have times where I feel like an elephant and waddle and can't put my socks on days but I am OK with it and have been its just hard at times and know its just gonna get worse but he is so worth every stretch of my belly plus some!

Peanut had a growth spurt GALORE! for 2 weeks or so I have to eat allllllll the time.. It was annoying to me since I have only a few selection of items I can eat or want to eat but thankfully its more back to normal!

We see the doctor the 30th and we'll see how he is measuring. At times my mind goes a little crazzy to think I will be a mom but I am so excited to him!

6 days til Christmas!! WOOHOO!

Dedicated to Scoot

To my loving brother Scott!
He married a wonderful Chilean and has now moved back to raise their 3 little rascals that I miss dearly to Chile!
I am going to miss him alot. He is lots of fun to be around and he likes to joke a lot which keeps life fun.


Love you!





Ya, That's my family...


We had our Christmas gift exchange which is always fun!



You can hear the noise just by seeing this picture :)

Thanksgiving was a while ago but who says we can only say what we are thankful for at that time?

Not in any order I thought I'd have this written down to look back on:

I am truly thankful for my Heavenly Father and all the many blessings he has bestowed upon me.

I am thankful for a wonderful husband that loves me and helps me to be better everyday.

I am thankful for my family and all they do for me.

I am thankful for the real friends that help me and better me but most importantly are always there for me.

I am thankful for little Peanut and am trying to prepare to be the best mom for him. I can not wait to teach him and love him unconditionally!

I am thankful for my parents and the great people they are. They make me want to be better!

I am thankful for Christmas and that we can remember the birth of our Savior

I am thankful for Matt's job and him being able to find one let alone a good one in this day and time.

I am thankful for my testimony and the gospel in my life

I am thankful for everything that I have and the great experiences that make life, life

Men like things that go boom boom

The kid is in heaven can't you tell?

Only 24 days!

Last year =






This year=



I love Christmas and am glad to say that I am glad I am not working during this time! Last year I was done with the music, the mean mean people and the cheap skates that yell and scream. I am happy to be the smiley face above this year! Christmas is my favorite holiday and love everything about it, yes even the craziness at the stores!

I Love....







It's the only time Matt lets me put my cold feet on him(he's my heater)




THE SMELL mmmm

We never were able to have real Christmas trees since Paps is allergic so for our first Christmas last year I insisted on a real tree and kinda wish we could have one again this year.

and...



A family tradition we go to 'the street' on Christmas Eve. (photo not from the street)

Christmas 2009:

Coming soon!

Better late than never

I have been meaning to have a Halloween post and just never did.



This was our pumpkin we carved for our Halloween party for our ward. They had a contest and no surprise, Michael Jackson won but I think our was pretty awesome!

Anyone guess who it is? :) The picture isn't the best but you get the jist.

After the Halloween party we headed to our house to pass out candy.

Matt got into his gorilla costume that I sadly don't have a picture of!
He scared plenty of kids and it was kinda funny but sad at the kids trying to get candy from our house but were scared to go up to him.

We ended with the old Dracula movie at our neighbors with some popcorn and smores!

Yum!

U to the tah

Max

We miss this cute dog! Matt totally wants to get the same dog, he loves him!


We had much fun in Utah! It was such a blast. We went up there for Matt's niece, Amellia's baptism and little Evan's blessing. We were up there for a week and were able to do fun activities each day. I celebrated my 21 Birthday there but don't have a picture on that day..OOPS!

Pictures from the week:




This is one cute kid!





We went to the copper mine and had a lot of fun. It was very fun to learn how they do things there and the different things they find there. The big trucks are BIG!



We took a trip to the Salt Lake Zoo and had lots of fun! My favorite animal and just so precious!
