We're having a.....

The day I have been waiting for since I became pregnant arrived on Tuesday! I had my ultra-sound and it was really neat. I asked the Doc if my baby was alive, cuz I couldn't see it moving, and just then the arms and hands moved as if to say Hello! For the last year and half I have been buying cute baby clothes. They are ALL girl clothes, because let's face it, girl clothes are SOOOO much cuter to shop for. So I guess I lucked out....



We Are Having A Girl!!!!!!!!

Juvenile Diabetes yard sale and walk....




The yard sale for Kaden was a success, Robb and I even came away with a dresser, night stand, window pane and the world's first snowboard(Robb was super pumped about the last item). The Diabetes walk is always fun. It is at Scera Park with games, food, and lots of Diabetic kids running around. Uncle Jeffy still has the Kaden's Cowboys shirt from 7 years ago and sports it every walk! We definitely need new shirts....next year Kaden, I promise.

More pics from the last post....






Ahoy Mateys!





I have not jumped the blogging ship, but was shipwrecked for a couple of months there. To be honest, life was pretty busy, and I had lost the will to blog, but since my last post I have taken lots of pictures thinking I would someday return to the island of blog...and so I am back for good and have much to catch up on.

We took a girls trip to St. George with my mommy, aunt and cute sissies in law and it was sooo fun! (way too short though) I rode down with Nikki earlier than the rest and when the others I arrived I realized I actually have a twin...a darker version of me. (We had to take a picture because Bear and I matched exactly...we got a kick out of it.) We ate the Pizza Factory and I got some CUTE clothes at the outlets, but not for me....for the baby!

I graduated! Yahoo! It has been LONG road, but I can now say I am a college graduate. I should have my M.D. by now (I have been attending college since I was 18) but I did have a few road blocks that prevented me from going each semester and finishing on time such as Robb's internship in Washington, living in Colorado, and working full time to actually afford school. It was a great day and I was pretty emotional (those baby hormones and I am a big boob any way). I earned my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. Thanks to my sweet parents and grandparents and hubby for supporting me and getting me to that point of graduation! (my plans are to work on my nursing degree after the baby next year)

Dave and Bear decided it was okay to leave me and take their cute kids to Idaho Falls! I am sure missing them, but I know they are having a blast up there. Dave started a break off of my Dad's company things are going well. I do miss my baby Graham Cracker....and while they were in I. F. a friend cut Tayson's hair for the Idaho Fair....white trash anyone?

Juvenile Diabetes....I will pay someone some serious money to find a cure! My little nephew Kaden(not so little anymore, he is 11) was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes at the age of four. We did a yard sale this year to raise money and the walk was yesterday. It was a blast being with family and supporting such a valiant cause to raise awareness and money to find a cure. GO JDRF!

So You Think You Can Dance!!!!!!

Okay, no pictures, but if I could take them from tonight's show I absolutely fruitly would! Holy sheep shiz!(alright, I just heard that from my sis-in-law Bear a booba and had to use it) Who in the worldness to you choose to go home? They are all fantastic. Chelsie is a freakin' babe-a-licious! Could anyone be any cuter? And her talent is phenomenal! Plus, I DIG the fact that she has a NORMAl dancer body...she ain't no stick figure! Um, HI Katee and Joshua!?!? Every time they dance together it truly is magic(one of the judges said that...wipe a tear) And did you see the dance Mark and Courtney did with Sonya Tayeh as the Choreographer? It was the bee's knees! It was so intense and the hits in the music with the hits in the choreography...man, my heart be still. And come on, who of you wouldn't get Sonya's mohawk and style if you could? She is a gorgeous woman....someday ladies and gents, I would love to get that marvelous hawker of hers! I had to blab about tonight, cuz I just luvs dancing! Older I get, harder it is to get out there and DANCE! But boy, I tell you what...I couldn't live with out it. Dance provides freedom for my soul, that i just can't achieve any where else. So for all you beautiful dancers out there (especially all the talented ones that I have been PRIVILEGED to dance with) I am pointing my toes for you as I write! Toodlee Doo!

Go- gong, go-gong

Today we heard the heart beat! (does anyone remember Dirty Dancing and the heart beat part? that is what my title is from) Wow....are you kidding me? How in the world can I hear my baby's heart beat and when shim is soooo small? The medical world is miraculous....and I must say I actually kind of believe I am preggo now after our appt. The fact that there is LIFE inside of me? There is no going back, and my doubts of being a good mother have been flooding in today. And man, I am naturally a REALLY sensitive person, but I cry at EVERYTHING these days! Well, baby, I will do my best to make you a nice home and we can't wait to know if you shall be a little princess or a strapping young prince! Ta ta for now little peanut!

On the up and up




Happy Birthday to me! I must say that this year's birthday was quite enjoyable. I slept in until 11 am and just lounged around. ( I am usually not so lazy, but this darn jelly bean in my stomach is keepin' me plum tuckered, and I hit the point at 8 weeks where all I wanted to do was puke) I was feeling pretty nauseous so I tried to lay low, knowing that we were going to dinner later and I wanted to eat! Robb had gone a fishin' at 5 am and when he returned he got down on one knee and pulled a box from behind his back and asked me to marry him again....with a little sterling silver ring. He was so sweet as he explained that was all he could afford...(we are still on the job search) and I wanted to cry because of his sweetness in even getting me anything! My mom and dad were SOOOOOO nice and took Robb and I out to dinner at Le Olive Garden (oh wow, those darn bread sticks are the best-o) and it was a perfect night. Robb had another little surprise up his sleeve when we got home as he brought me out to the patio to see the other present he got me...or rather put together for me. The old chair in the picture belonged to his great-grandpa and was in a shed with other little treasures for a long time. He brought it home 3 years ago and it sat on our front porch of our apartment for those years before we packed it up for China. It had become quite a bit less sturdy while chillin' in our storage unit and so the creative hubby that he is, he took it to a shop, sawed a hole out of it and put a pot in the middle so I could plant some flowers in it and it could beautify our home some day. He is cute.....I just love him. I got some much loved money from my parents and a delicious green bath robe with a duck on it(I love ducks!) So my birthday was awesome...not because of the stuff I got(though that was much appreciated) but for the time I spent with family. 26 and pregnant! (Sounds pretty good eh?)
