Merry Christmas!

Here is our lovely Christmas Card Picture of our family! We look soooo dang cute!

Christmas Trees!!!!

Traditions never die! Every year in the early part of November we wake up at 5 am and drive to Heber to stand in line freezing for a Christmas Tree permit. Then the weekend of thanksgiving we drive back up to Heber/Kamas area to Cut the perfect Christmas Tree! After hours of Hiking, arguing and sweat we usually pick the last tree we see because we've seen a bazillion of them and don't even care if the tree is dead, just cut it down and let's go! This year Ethan was old enough to come our of the car and hike with us...He didn't mind it for the first 5 min, but after that he was in the car with daddy because daddy can't pick out the right Christmas tree...So he makes the 6 month prego mommy go hike up the mountain just to find the perfect Christmas tree 20 feet away from the car. After we cut it down we realized it was kinda dead or dying. We got it home and cut most of the bottom off and Bam! We got a really good looking tree. Most the time we all think we have charlie brown trees, but after we get them home and dress them all up they are always fantastic trees! I'll have to post some pictures of it when we get it decorated!Afterwards we all went out to eat at the only "Authentic" Diner west of the Mississippi! I'd give the food a 4 out of 10 and the fry sauce a 11 out of 10! I'd go there again just to get the fry sauce! Hmmmmm.....Sooooo.....GOOOOD!

WAX ANYONE???

This year for thanksgiving we where with Michael's family. Instead of bowling or even going to see a movie we choose a different activity then most...WE WAXED NOSES!!!! HEHEHEH!!! I love doing waxing and waxing nose hair is the best! I know most of you are think oh my gosh, the pain, the torture, but really it doesn't hurt that bad. Once again your thinking I'm crazy and this picture is fake but honestly waxing your nose hairs hurts less than anyone would believe. Wanna try it give me a call! hehehe!

SNOW DAY!!!

Ethan Started out having such a great time!

He loves his truck!

And Even thou it was difficult for him to push it in the snow...he never gave up trying...

Well maybe...

Ok, he gave up at the end and wanted to go inside but he had a fun time anyway for a while!

I also found out that shoveling snow Isn't as much fun when your prego and the snow is heavy. But we chose to live North facing so you have to do what you have to do to keep it clear of ice!

Hard Times...

So Many of you may know what has been going on in our family and others may have no clue, for those who have asked here is what is going on. My Sister in law has left my brother in law. She has decided she is no longer happy in her current situation and needs to go and find herself. This has brought on allot of stress and hardship on the family. I hope that their four kids that we all love will make it though this situation without much damage from either side. We all still love her and hope the best out come for both parties. With that said what I'm about to write is not because of one person or one specific couple. I have 3 people friends and family who are currently going through a divorce for all reasons that they are working out. Also this whole Proposition 8 thing is driving me crazy. So with all of this going on this is my opinion about life and love in general.

In these last days I can totally see the second coming on the heals of tomorrow! This world is completely selfish and mean! It is all about me, me, me! The family definition as a whole is changing and i hate that! I am so glad that i have a iron rod that i can hold on to and know that that will never lead me astray. I am so glad that i have the church to guide me and direct me. I appreciate the family proclamation and stand behind it 120%. I am so glad that i know who i am, i know my plan that has been set for me. I know i have had promises that have fulfilled and promises that are lying in store for my life if I choose to keep my life in order to receive them. I am so glad for a grateful and wonderful husband who puts the lord and his family first. I know i am not perfect but i do know the things that are important in this life and i know that i have made covenants and promises to people and the lord that i am not willing to compromise in anyway possible.

I think that gratitude is the key to success. We can criticize as much as we like but in the long run if we think of how much that has been done for us, and how much we can do for other people I think there is the key to happiness. If we all start thinking about others instead of ourselves which i understand is hard to do all the time or sometimes even at all, i think there we will find ourselves and appreciate the world around us.

Happy Halloween!

The Devil Family!!!!!

I sometimes call Ethan the "Devil Child" So i figured it would be the perfect Halloween Costume

Satan....and the spawn of satan (heheh)
My mom made this awesome prego costume just for me! She's the best!
The shirt is really reflective but it has flames on it! I was Hot! Hot! Hot!

This is my psycho little brothers costume...he's nuts!
Him and his friends did a hunted house and it was the best! It was free and about 5 min long. It was as good as any real expensive hunted house I've ever been to!

A story of a Boy and is Goggy!

This is how most often i find Ethan sleeping. Cuddled up to his Goggy! (That's doggy in Ethan's language) We went to the D.I. One day and passed the stuffed animal shelve. He started screaming and pointing to one of the stuffed animals and figures. So i kept grabbing one and he'd scream and throw a fit cause it wasn't the right one. When i finally got the dog he grabbed it and wouldn't let go. This was the best $1.50 i have ever spent. He cuddles with it during the day and he always sleeps with it whether it be just a nap or for the night. When he wakes up he's holding it and before he will let you pick him up he makes sure that he has it with him. It's so cute...but i have to wash it like crazy because he's a slobbery kid!

It's another BOY!!!!

We are expecting another little baby boy around March 5th 2009! We are soooooo excited! I thought for sure it would be a little girl. I was a bit disappointed but these two boys will hopeful be the best of friends...or fight all the time, but what kids don't. I'll just have to have a secret day where i can dress them both up as girls!!! Well wish me luck!

Here We GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok So i have really no Idea what im doing or how to do this...mostly it's been by trial and error and a little bit of luck. Remember this is a test and only a test...
