Pragnancy update!!

Im 32 weeks and 2 days today and i feel pretty good. The morning sickness has come back but usually goes away after i eat. I have gained 18 lbs as of my last apt. at 31 weeks 5 days. The doc wanted me to gain 30 so we are almost there. I just hope that i can loose the weight fast. Baby is growing right on schedual, well i have been measuring just a tiny bit small but the doc says that judging on how active baby is there is nothing to worry about. I Recently took the gestational diabetes test and the test for anemia. I passed the diabetes with flying colors but barley passed the anemia test. They start to worry when your iron levels get below 63.0 and mine was at 63.2. So i get to take iron supliments witch acctually arent to bad and my energy level has gone up quite a bit. Baby is loving to beat me up its favorite thing is to kick me in the back and hips witch makes me feel like im not wide enough for this ever growing baby. So other then always being sore im doing great! loving being pregnant but cant wait to meet my baby.Here is pic of my ever growing belly taken at 30 weeks.

HALLOWEEN

Travis had to work a closing shift at work this year on halloween, and i didnt want to be alone handing out candy. So my grandma came and we hung out and played games, while the trick or treaters came. I went through two huge bags of 120 count candy and some of grans left over from her work. That was with only giving each child 1 maybe 2 pieces of candy! Next year im keeping a tally!!

My halloween costume baby got to dress up!I am 29 weeks 3 days in this pic.

The basement project.

On october 8 Travis' dad come down from alaska to visit us till the 18. And help travis with some projects in that basement we smply needed a fireplace taken out and sealed and a vent put in the babies room. I being pregnant decided that all the dust and who knows what else would be stirred wouldnt be the best for baby so i went and stayed with my mother in law in roy for a few days while they got all the demo done. Little did i know that they were going to redo the entire basement!! They insulated the entire basement, extended our bedroom alittle bit, built a closet and redid most of electrical. And we only paid for around 500 dallors, i dont want to know how much his dad spent but i could never thank him enough!!! The rooms are all finished now except for the luandry room and the food storage room. And they just need to be primed and painted!!!



The babies room we obviously still need to do some decorating but this is a good start!before pic of the tv roomafter pic of tv room!before picture of our bedroom and after..

Pregnancy update!

Im 21 weeks now and Im finally starting to feel some what normal!! The first trimester was horrible i was sick no matter what i did and ended up loosing almost 16 pounds. At my 12 week apt i got some anti nuasea medicine and it was a life saver!! I could finally eat and started to gain weight then my medicine ran out and i had just a week and a half till my next apt so i decided to tough it out and wait and boy was i excited to get them again!! At 18 weeks the nuasea almost completely dissapeared, but at 20 weeks it switched to be just at night witch is fine with me cuz now i can just go to sleep and it goes away. :-D

As i started to wright his post baby got the hiccups for the first time it was an awesome feeling :-D But i cant wait till i can watch it have the hiccups out side of my belly i cant wait to meet my baby!!!

Here is baby at 20 weeks three days and a belly shot at 18 weeks 2 days!! I love my cute little round belly!

new church calling

4 days after i found out i ws pregnant travis and i got called into the bishops office. We thought that travis was finally getting a calling, but no thye had a new calling for me. It was the biggest shocker of my life they asked me at 21 years of age to be the yw president!!!! I was in complete and udder shock i never thought that at age 21 i would be a president of anything. Of coarse i balled but excepted the call and im so glad i did!!! I love the girls and my counselors so much and cant wait to see what blessings having this calling will bring. :0D

Travis birthday, a surprise, and vegas.

This year for travis birthday i decided to get him an outdoor basketball hoop, so i started taking out money everytime i went to the store. So that when i did buy it he wouldnt wonder why i made such a large purchase. His birthday was on friday and on wed i ended up with my moms car so i decided to go buy a basket ball, some of his favorite candy, and something we will talk about later :-) so i could givethem to him in the morning and have his basketball hoop set up when he got home after work on his birthday. The other thing i got from the store was pregnancy tests i had a feeling i was and i just wasnt feeling right, so i took the first one and even though i new i was pregnant seeing the double lines was a shocker!!... So i took another one this time a digital one and that one was positive too so i decided to wrap them with the basketball and candy and since i couldnt wait two days to tell him ( it was hard enough not calling him at work ) i gave him his presant early on thurs before he had to go to work. He saw the basketball first and then the candy then my heart started to pound as he pulled out one of the tests, the first thing he said was sorry becuase i didnt want to pregnant before our vegas trip but oh well vegas was still fun!! And we are allready planning on going back next year with our baby:-) since we couldnt do rides and stuff in vegas we saw the blue man group instead and i would not mind seeing them again they were awesome!!! and well worth the money. Travis loved all of presants and is excited and nervouse to be a dad and me im just plain excited!!

The TWO! tests i took.

My birthday and easter.

This year my birthday landed on easter witch ment i had to go to church so my primary kids could sing to me they were so excited!! We went to my grans house for brunch we had green eggs and ham!! Then we had to leave to go to church real fast so i could teach my class (and get sung to) then we went back up to my grans house and had my favorite kind of cake. mmmmmm better then sex cake or to die for cake or what ever you call it hahaha. I stayed late and played games with my gran over all it was a great birthday, and easter the easter bunny even came to our house!!!
On monday travis took the day off so we could change my last name to his (the reason we waited so long was so that we could save a few bucks. why you ask? since i was turning 21 they would not renew my license early witch ment if i did change my name in october when we got married it would have cost me 20 bucks for the name and address change then and additional 25 in april for my renwal we decided to wait till my birthday and pay just 25 and save us 20 bucks!) So any way we got my name changed on the social security card first then the drivers licnese division and the bank then i spent the next day calling places like att and dirctv to change it there to but the rest of the day we spent getting my ring cleaned going to chuck a rama and watching water for elephants it was an awesome 2 day birthday!! :-D
I took pics but they arent uploading today for some reason so i will add pics hopefully tomorrow!

Our newest addition!

I have been trying to convince Travis for a while that we needed a bunny, but he was hesitant because when he was younger he used to raise them then kill them and eat them. So he was not wanting a bunny. So we were thinking a guiny pig but he decided that he didn't want to have caged animal, till we have kids. So we decided to get a dog! We searched on ksl various pet stores and the Pound before we found the puppy we wanted at a pet store called marks ark. I saw him and immediately knew he was the one he was a Little out of our price range but i just couldn't leave the store with out him. We were having some troubles coming up with a name so i had the idea to ask my niece and nephew for a little help, of coarse they were napping so we had to wait for them to wake up. My nephew who is ubsessed with Lego star wars for the wii said we should name it luke skywalker!! we decided that was a Little to long lol so we started to play with the name we could name it lu or luwii, or luke. Then it came to us his name is...... drum roll please!.......... Luigi!!! Both my niece and nephew loved it! cuz they are also huge Mario fans!! He is such a good boy he has only had one accident that we know of and whines to go out side to potty!

Hi I'm Luigi! My birthday is Jan. 3, 2011 i weigh just under 4 lbs and I'm about 12 inches long! I'm a pek-a-poo that's slang for pekingese poodle mix! I love to chew on things mom thinks its cuz I'm teething but the truth is i just want to play! I like to fallow people around and bite their ankles cuz i think its funny when they jump!..... well until they accidentally step on my tail ill learn not to do that eventually. Other then that I'm a really good puppy and I'm a good cuddler well at least i think :-D

ALL CUAGHT UP!!

I have been trying to update the blog for awhile but for some reason the pics wouldnt upload today they did!! I was super excited to be all cuaght up!! Enjoy!

Date night and the DSi

The night we got the rebate we decided to have date night there were no movies playing at gateway that we wanted to see. So we decided to go to the dallor movies our movie tangled 3D didnt start till 9:20 (it was 6;30). So we decided to go to sizzler to have steak it was super yummy!! We still had time to kill so we went toys r us for awhile and looked around travis decided he wanted a DS. We decided that it would probily be cheeper at game stop, so we walked over there and they were cheeper!!! We ended up getting a DSi for only 149.99 i got two games and he got 1 we both decided we didnt like our games so the next day we returned them and he got the new pokemon game and i got a harvest moon game!! Its been fun to have something to do when he is sleeping and im not tired or when he is watching something i really dont want to.
Waiting for the movie to star t we still had some time to kill i loved the movie though it was one of my favorites of all time!!

DEBT FREE!! well besides the house and car!

Debt has always scared me. I bought and fixed up my first car with cash. when i was 18 i got a credit card and in 3 years i have never payed intrest or came close to maxing it out. Travis on the other had a maxed out credit card, a car loan, a personal loan and a loan for his lasic surgery with a 23 percent intrest rate!!!! He cut up and payed off his credit card and personal loan, he also payed off my ring in 2 months. When we bought the house we decided we didnt want ot have drag our luandry back and forth to some ones house to get it done. So we decided to go buy a washer and dryer. We did 12 months no intrest and recently paid that off also. Our tax reabate this year was awesome we we got almost 11,000 back witch helped us pay off our window loan, rc willey, and his lasic surgery. We even had enough to put about 1500 in savings for emergencies and my 21 birthday. We even put some money towards paying off the car. It feels so good not to be almost completely out of debt i cant wait till all we have is the house so we can save like crazy!!! And not have to worry about how we are going to make the next payment or buy groceries.

My little 6'4 brother landis(yes he is 3 years younger then me and taller then me!!) went to his first prom alittle over a month ago and im glad it turned out better then my first prom did. My prom date picked me up and his dad drove me and him to the prom in a wrecked silver mini van where we ment up with some of my friends got pics taken and left the dance to go to change into normal cloths, and go to the huanted house. Where the group ditched us luckily we found them and got home just in time for his dad to take him home in the mini van lol. So im glad his turned out better atleast his date drove them to the dance!! And the girl that asked him was one of his long time crushes from elementary school!

I for some reason i didnt take alot of pics this christams i think i was just enjoying being married to much! Travis got me a wii, a blender ,and in-soles for my shoes. I got him new work shoes a wallet and jazz calender. Some of the other things we got were wii games he got jazz basketball shorts and i got all the pixar short films on dvd.

Our first christams tree! We were going to buy a real one but becouse of the windows we were kinda tight on money. Travis mom said that she had an extra white one we could have, we went to go get it and it was yellow!!!!! So travis and his little bro went and looked at his grandpas house and came back with a 3 foot tree.... So we decided to put the taller yellow tree up for this christmas but saved money to buy one on sell after christmas. We ended up buying a $280 tree for just a little over $80. It is prelit and green!! Im so excited to see it decorated this christmas!! oh yeah!! that yellow tree is now probily somewhere at the dump!!!

New windows!!!

We decided in november that we NEEDED new windows in our house they were leaking so bad that our house never got warm. We did some reaserch and found out if we got them in before the 31 of dec. That we would get a 1500 $$ tax credit. So we went for it we had two different companies come out to our home one was a private contractor and the other was sears. The private contractor took his measurements and said he would call us with in the next few days. The sears guy on the other had gave us a 2 hour lecture on exactly what all our aotions were and why they worked so well and their price was really pretty good.Then he gave us our estimait right right then and there it was !$20,000!!! by the time he left it was down to about $13,000 but we did not have that kind of money! The next day the private contractor called his estimate was about $6,000 witch was alot more affordable!! we decided to go with him and got the windows installed just a few weeks before christmas and just in time for the tax credit.
This is the sun set the day i took the After pick of the front of the house i couldnt resist!!
