Pregnancy

Well, as a little update I'm now 11 weeks and doing okay so far.  We had our ultrasound at 9 weeks and we were so excited when we got to see the baby!!! Ian came with me to the Dr. appt. and I think he was more in shock and excited than me!! While the Dr. was doing the ultra sound the little baby was kicking it's leg around! It was so crazy to see a little tiny leg swirling around and active at such a small stage! I hope that's a good sign...  I still have morning sickness throughout the day and especially at night, but I think it's getting better...I think! I also think these are helping with the process...

I also eat CONSTANTLY all day long, I think I could eat 6 full meals a day! NO JOKE!

Some things I CANNOT EAT because my stomach won't let me....that I miss

I also have been avoiding these...

And yes even....

I hope my body goes back to normal soon so I can enjoy some of these again!

In the mean-time I am just trying to get by and eat healthy as much as I can tolerate!

 On another note, Ian and I bought this last night and we might get a sneek peak to what the gender of our baby is!! It's not 100% accurate, but it might be kind of fun to see what it says!

PS. I'm starting to show! I have a tiny little "baby bump" (it probably looks more like a little beer gut or a "pooch" but it's definitely sticking out now!)

Bundle of Joy on the Way!

Well, it's official.  We are pregnant and this little baby bean sprout is due Feb. 5!

Happy Father's Day!

Look what I got Ian for Father's Day! jk. :)

We were out yard sale hunting yesterday when we drive past a lady who is taping a "free" sign to this BBQ! So of course Ian jumped out and told her we'd take it! Ha ha.

It works great too! Just needed some cleaning. The couple was getting rid of it because the ignition starter didn't work and they bought a new one. Ian cleaned it all up and BBQ'd some chicken on it this morning! ha ha. 

HAPPY FATHERS DAY HONEY!!

I FREAKING LOVE YOU!

 Not to mention you are going to make a great father one day ;)

Also I'd like to thank my own father for all of his patience with his only daughter..and all of her emotional ups and downs during all the years. We appreciate all you have done on our new house and your love and support with everything!

Well, that is all for now! We still have many projects that are a work in progress.  Soon to come will be pictures of our kitchen! It's almost done...just need some finishing touches! We also are fixing up the laundry room and have to do some updating on the outside! It has been so fun working on our house :) and we are loving being able to come "home". Thanks to all who came and helped with the Demo when we first got the keys :)



We Got It!

Well....WE GOT THE HOUSE! We are officially homeowners and I am now holding a set of keys to our new house! We started working on it and are so excited to get everything done so we can move in!  Family and friends have been wonderful and so willing to help out.  I am so grateful for everyone's generosity! It's funny how things just work out sometimes when you least expect it. If we need something someone seems to have it lately! You need a new lock for your door?...oh someone has an extra!...you need a new vanity?....oh got that covered!...You need a fridge?...oh there is one sitting in storage!...It's been crazy to see so many people offering their things. I am just so amazed how we have been blessed! Thank you for all the help you guys! Can't wait to get it done and have you all over :)

A House...Maybe?

Well, we have been living with family and saving money for a house and it might finally be our turn to be homeowners!  We put an offer in on one we really like and after some negotiating the bank accepted! We had and inspector check out the house and just this weekend we had it appraised for our financing...so now we just have to wait to see if we get it....! It's a long, tiring process, and lots of paperwork...but if it works out it will all be worth it...! (I hope).

Toyota Tribute

It has been a long time since I have been on here and documented life!! What a slacker I am :P  Well, Ian and I have been busy working full time and doing school still (does it ever end??) So there seems to be little time to do much of anything after homework and I love you's before bed!  So even though there is so much I could catch up on, I would like to take a moment and reflect back on our wonderful times in this Toyota. We have had this truck around 2 years and just sold it yesterday... I still remember very vividly driving it home by myself in the dark after we bought it and hating that I had to drive it (IT WAS HARD TO DRIVE!) Well, now here I am saying how sad it is to see it go...the MANY memories we have had with this truck...Here is our last trip in the Toyota...off roading on rattlesnake trail with Sam & Katie...

Comin up the hill

The start of Rattlesnake trail

It was solid ice! I expected it to break...

We have taken this truck to St. George...back and forth to and from Logan....moved all of our stuff in it...and I drove it everyday for over a year.  We have spent so much time of our married life in this vehicle. I will sorely miss it!!
