Bedding for Luke's room..

I can't decide which bedroom set I like for Luke's room. So you have to help me out and decide which one is the cutest. I like all three! Brown and green is my favorite but I don't know if the green paisley is too girly and the elephants...how precious is that! The aidan collection is beautiful, aww see it's so difficult for me.

Emotional Day..

So today at work I had my first emotional day with these hormones all crazy. I had a mad customer yelling at me, but I held it in pretty well until I was done and walked away. Then I went to the other room and cried. I normally can handle those customers yelling at me.. but not today. My GM was there and he didn't know what to do. It was so embarrassing. I think that is one thing I don't like about being pregnant. Everyone at work was laughing because I am always the one that sticks up for the employees and argues back at the customer if necessary. I hope I don't have too many of these days:)

Here is Luke..

Luke is sucking on his toes! Everytime we have our ultrasounds he his doing something funny. He either has is toes in his mouth or his legs are over his head. He is a very flexible baby. Luke is growing very well and is almost weighing in at 2lbs. I am feeling him move all the time now, I love it. I am starting to have a hard time getting comfortable at night, but once I have then I am good to go.

Christmas Lights..

Randy put our christmas lights on the house a few weeks ago. I think this is the first year that we weren't the last ones on our street to put lights up. Also we did it before it snowed so Randy wouldn't be risking his life putting them on the house. Now I just need to decorate the rest of my house.

I love halloween!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I was fortunate to have it off this year. Randy and I went trick or treating with the kids. Then we drove to Salt Lake where we went to a haunted house with his family. I love haunted houses, this was one of the best ones I have ever been too.

Utah Game

The end of September we went to a Utah Game, we took Hannah and Caden with us. I had never been to a Utah game before so it was so exciting. I loved watching all of the people. There was a fan that wouldn't stop yelling at the crowd until we all stood up. He was definately crazy. Utah is Randy's favorite team so he was enjoying himself.

Matt and Ashley Frye (8/30)

3 months later I am finally blogging this special day with our amazing friends Matt and Ashley. They met thru some friends and dated for a short time then got engaged and here they are now. Matt and Ashley are living in St. George in a cute home. They are thinking about moving up to Salt Lake, which I hope they do. I don't know how either of them could live up here they are from the vegas area. Matt always says how cold it is up here when its 70 degrees outside.. We love you both and hope you do decide to come up here.

A Marine Wedding (Sep 19, 2008)

I know this post is a little out of date but I wanted to remember this special day for my cousin Eric and Julie. They actually got married about a year ago in a court house before Eric left to Iraq. Then they decided to have a ceremony and reception so the family could be there and they could have a normal wedding. We are so happy Eric made it back to America in one piece and so proud of him that he served our country for about 10 months. Love you Eric..

Picking a Name...

Thanks for all of your participation with the poll. I was hoping all of you like Lucas Scott.. it's my favorite. The only down fall is I don't want my child to think he is named after the Lucas Scott in One tree hill. However, that wouldn't be so bad since he is cute guy!!

Snowing in October..

I can't believe the snow that we got. In South Ogden we got about 6 inches, you can't really tell by the pictures because it had already started melting the next day when I took the pictures.

Hannah and the neighbor girl were building a fort. All the kids were going to have a snow ball fight.

Caden and the alex were starting to throw snow balls, so I was getting out of there!

Abby always has to pose!!

Abby is hiding in the hole so she doesn't get hit by the snow balls.

Walker and Abby were on the same team..

Caden is so cute

This Sadie on the ride home from playing outside..she was exhausted and cold.

Our house after the first snowfall

Randy and I are most likely going to buy a snow blower this year because of the horrible snow we got last year. For some reason the city doesn't plow our road, only the main road the circles around our neighborhood. Well if any of u know us..we have a mustang. Yeah that doesn't really go in the winter very well when there is hardly any snow on the ground. Just imagine us last year trying to get into our house when the snow was about 3 feet deep. One of our neighbors had to snow plow the road before we could make it home. So this year we don't want to be known as the neighbor stuck in the road!

Olive Garden

A few nights ago I ate dinner with some friends from college at Olive Garden in Layton. It was so much fun talking about all of the crazy nights and times together. I had forgotten about so many things that happened while we were down there. Laura wasn't the best driver and she ran into a garbage can which Shay and I heard when we were in our apartment clear across the parking lot. Shay couldn't cook worth anything and she always burnt her top ramen. Brooke was always in a good mood and making us laugh. She always wanted everyone to get along with each other. Brooke is pregnant with her 4th child!! She had twins and they are only one years old. Laura is getting married in April or May to a tonga guy. Shay is pregnant with her 2nd boy (her and I went to junior high and high school together). So many memories in such a short time. It's really fun to see where everyone is now and what they are doing. Love ya girls and we definately shouldn't wait 3 years again...

Half Way..

I am so excited that we are half way there. I am finally showing a little bit and my pants are starting to feel tight. They aren't too bad yet!! I haven't bought any maternity clothes really because I don't know what will work so I am waiting until I get a bigger belly. I'll post some belly pictures once you can actually tell that I am pregnant (that's for you Chelsie).

Hannah

Hannah plays softball for Orion Junior High school. Her team is undefeated and their championship game is today!! Here are some photos of the season...

Hannah sliding in.. & Her amazing bunt!

Boy names..

I really love the name Luke! Luke is Randy's middle name and I have always loved it. But I am having a hard time on what middle name to give him and also if his name should be Lucas or just Luke. Help me out!! I posted a poll so everyone can vote on which one they like. Scott is my read dad's name that passed away when I was 13 and Jared is my step dad's name that has taken over the father figure in my life.

IT'S A BOY!!!

We are having a boy!!! The boy weighs 9 oz. He is 1 oz under average. His legs were up by his head, so he is a very flexible boy.

Camping with the Oman's..

I am so excited that I actually found some pictures that I haven't posted yet..


Every year we go to Bridger Lake! We are very lucky that we got to go 2 years in a row. It's very hard to get work off sometimes. This year we took up my 2 brothers. They are so grown up now and so much fun to be around. Jordan and Nick are so much like our dad it's amazing. Even though they didn't really know him. We had a great time. Nick is not too happy with Jordan and I because we won't be able to go next year. Jordan is going on his mission and of course I'll be having a baby!!

One of our Summer memories..

I know that I said I couldn't post pictures, well it's only pictures that aren't on my computer yet...

On August 9, 2008 we went swimming with the Bates family.. We had such a great time. The kids were hilarious and wanting their grandma to take them everywhere. We went down the slide..I almost got stuck on it. Either I am getting too fat or there was something wrong with the slide. I like to think there was something wrong with the slide...

BABY BABY!!

So I forgot to mention that I get to find out what the baby is tomorrow!! Yes, I am so excited and I can't wait. I had a dream that I was having a GIRL (everyone says those are always right, so we will see). The doctor thought the last time we were there that the baby is a BOY. It has been killing me for the last little bit. I can't believe that I am half way done!! My mom is coming to our doctor's appointments, she can't wait either. I called today to remind her about the appt and the time. She was freaking out that I called to remind her because she said she would never forget something like that. FUNNY!! For all of you that know my mom I am sure you are laughing because you can only imagine the look on her face.

Haven't updated forever..

I know it's been so long since I have put anything new on here. We are having issues with our computer. I can post things on here but having a hard time with the pictures, we have ran in to the problem of having too much stuff on our computer. I have about 10,000 pics and over 30,000 songs. Not to mention all of my adobe programs, quicken and etc. So I'll just post what we have been doing and put pictures in later...

Last night we went to the Weezer concert at the E Center. They are really great live, very funny and interactive with the crowd which is way fun.

I have been putting our house together!! My goal is to have our basement organized, framed and the electrical done, our computer room complete, transfer information from computer to external hard drive, baby's room mostly done, buy new bed spread and decorations for our room, hang up pictures in my bathroom, also re do Randy's bathroom all before the holidays hit. So I only have about 6 weeks to complete all of this. I have got to get moving on all of this!! As you all know I work at Best Buy so I can't do anything during the holidays, as far as fun stuff. Especially this year since I will be huge!! It will be a fun adventure tho, so I'll keep you updated and hopefully we can get the computer situation figured out.

FRIED CHICKEN..I miss you

I know that u are all wondering what this is going to be about...

Well my grandpa's bird that is 22 years old died last night. He did have cancer at one point, a huge growth on his wing, an abnormally long beak, and he lost a lof of weight because he wouldn't eat. My grandpa got him right after his stroke so he could teach the bird how to talk and they could do it together because my grandpa had to learn a lot of new things again. This is very sad because the bird was only 1 year younger than me so he has been alive as long as me. That bird was hilarious...he would get on my shoulders and eat my earrings, poop down my back and also get on the top of my head. When I was younger he would chase me around the house. So fried chicken will be deeply missed. I am not really sure what my grandpa will do with out him.

On a a funnier note... Fried Chicken would chirp a certain tune to my grandpa when he would be coming down the hall. This morning grandpa was talking to the bird and he wasn't responding. So grandma went to his cage to see what was wrong. Grandpa said "Well what's wrong why isn't the damn bird responding to me." Grandma said "George, have you ever seen him laying on the ground of the cage...I think he is dead." Then grandpa went over there to see for himself. Sure enough he wasn't breathing. Grandma asked grandpa what they should do with the bird. His response was "Just throw it in the garbage, it's dead." Of course my grandma couldn't so my mom and siblings went over and had a funeral for him. They barried him in the back yard and they are making him a head stone. You had to hear the story from my mom since she was there! Hilarious..my grandparents always are arguing over the funniest things ever.

Fried Chicked you'll be missed but we are glad you aren't suffering anymore.


(I am looking for pictures)

My lil sis Hannah

Hannah made the softball team at Orion Jr. High.  Today was their first game!  She did such a great job, she is the starting center field player.  They won the game 3to2.  The score was 2to1 the whole game until the last inning when bases were loaded and Nicole hit the ball and made a double. I'll post some pictures when I am back at home.  

My Due Date..

Thanks for all of your fun comments, sorry I forgot to say when I am due!! My due date is March 6th! We are so excited and I think it's the perfect time to have a baby..not super hot and not cold at all!

I'm Pregnant...

Randy and I are going to have our first baby. We are so excited! This baby was definately not planned but we are excited to finally have one. I have been very sick for the last 7 weeks, which is so draining. But I keep telling myself that it can only get better from here. Before we found out I was pregnant I thought that something was seriously wrong with me because I could smell things a million miles away and I was so sick. Well I took 3 home pregnancy tests and they were all negative. My first thought was oh great I am going to die. Then I went to a clinic, that's where they told us we were pregnant. It has been an interesting few months. Last week we went to the doctor to find out if everything was okay and how far along I was. Well I had told them when I thought my last cycle was, well I was totally off!! We were 4 weeks farther along then I thought.. Man I was so excited because hopefully that means I am almost done being ill!! Our baby looks like a baby right now instead of a blob! YEAH!

Happy Anniversary!!

Randy and I have been married for 3 years today. Wow time has flown by! I just wanted to show you some our pictures from the last 3 years. I love him so much and I am so lucky to have such a great husband!!

These are just a few that they have on youtube!

This drink is healthy and it tastes good..

Monavie is a fruit drink that has 19 different fruits in it. Some of the fruits I have never heard of before. The main fruit is the Acai Berry which is from Brazil. Acai is rich in antioxidants, amino acids, phytonutrients, minerals and vitamins. Monavie harvests the Acai Berry when they put it into the Monavie blend. Here are all the fruits that you will find in the Monavie blend.

Açai, Apricot, Aronia, Acerola, Purple Grape,Passion Fruit, Camu Camu, Banana, Lychee Fruit, Nashi Pear, Kiwifruit, Pomegranate, Prune, Wolfberry, Pear, Bilberry, Cranberry, Blueberry, White Grape.

This drink tastes so amazing and it has helped people with various things.

My mom has asthma really bad and since she has started drinking this juice she doesn't have to take her medication everyday. She can even dog sit Sadie now..which is awesome because that's why we took Sadie in the first place. My dad doesn't take his pain medication anymore for his ankle that he has hurt I don't know how many times. I don't get migrains ever, which I used to get atleast 3 or 4 a month. There are too many stories to list them all. All you have to do is drink 1-2 ounces twice a day. Doctors are saying that this has more vitamins, nutrients and etc then anything ever seen before.

Here are 3 links where you can learn more about this amazing fruit drink.

Hannah playing baseball..

Hannah plays for Utah Storm..she is doing so well this season. Hannah and her friend Johnny are amazing together. Johnny's mom always says they are just like Stockton to Malone. It's totally true. I am so proud of her! I really like watching her play and see her get into the games! Great job Hannah, I love you!

Sadie

Our dog is so amazingly cute. She will lay anywhere there is a blanket. Randy put her in the trunk and she laid there for about 5 minutes. One day I couldn't find her and she was in the closet laying on a huge stack of blankets. I just wanted to post a cute picture of her because I don't have very many. Also I miss her..she is staying with my parents for a few days because Caden had a pet day at school! Can't wait until she comes back home..

Abby starts T-Ball

Isn't she so cute! This is her first year playing and she is already bossing all of the kids around. She gets really frustrated when the coach is telling her that she can't always go after the ball and give the other kids a chance. Her response is..well they don't ever go for the ball and I want to win. She is very competitive!

Our exciting trip to San Diego,,

We went to San Diego for our friends wedding. We all had a blast!! Even though we almost got murdered, hit a few times, stranded on the side of the road because our car wouldn't accelerate and I know I am missing so many more things. Anyways it was so much fun and we can't wait to go on another vacation with matt, ali and erik!!

We just want to say thank to Naomi and George for letting us stay with them. It was so much fun. We are so happy you are moving up here so we can see you more! Love you both so much!

Attention Bates Family...

So this post is super late but I still think it's hilarious..hope you enjoy!!

Look who followed us to Florida...

Can you believe how much this kid looks like Tyler?? Randy and I were freaking out. We were on a Safari ride and while trying to "take pictures of the animals" we were actually taking pictures of this kid. It was pretty funny! Randy got caught by the dad because Randy was taking pictures of him while the animals were on the other side of the boat. Yeah..pretty interesting. I thought you all would love it!
