Baby news!!!

 We are having a baby!

 I came home from work on Friday, the middle of November and had been feeling so hungry and weird. So I took a few pregnancy tests. I had taken many before in the last year with the result each time as negative. This time it was different and I took three just to make sure! I was so excited to tell Ammon! I put the tests in a little blue box and put it down the street in our mailbox. After he came home from work we went on a walk to get the mail, where he reached in to pull out a BIG surprise! We had smiles from ear to ear and we thought about being parents....what a privledge and we are So excited to welcome a baby in our home!

 Here is my current "Tummy"... I have gained thirteen pounds. I know it seems a lot for only being 16weeks, let me explain....

When I was 6 weeks along I got a cold that lasted almost two weeks. I had the hardest time breathing when I exercised, so I stopped until I got over my cold. Then The Tiredness set in and after working 8 hrs on my feet, picking up the house and making dinner I could not get enough energy to exercise. This sounds so silly, but I was really exhausted. My husband was so good at letting me fall asleep at 6:30 and I would sleep until 6 the next morning....I was a lazy bum.

But since last week I have not felt tired and can finally stay up past eight! I am so happy! People at work tell me I am glowing. Ammon came to the Dr. apt yesterday and we saw our baby and found out the gender. The baby was moving a lot and waving both arms at the camera! So cute! 

We are excited to annouce we are having a...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

My Boy...

Its December and tonight I am reminiscing about when I decided this boy was a keeper...

Back in December 2005 I admitted I had a crush. I didn't have many crushes, so this was a big deal. This boy has turned my life around. The fall of 2005 was a struggle for me. I was dealing with something that at the time seemed like a big deal; Not being able to play my favorite sport for 6 months was rough. During this time not much made me happy, for some reason I was in the slumps, a place I never like to be. When I decided sports weren't everything and it was okay that I had knee surgery, I found this boy to entertain me. He has been entertaining me for 6 years....

Don't you Love trials? I look at other's trials and wonder how they overcome them... heavenly Father knows us and gives us only what we can handle. My trials have been very little, but I am happy to not face them a lone. Heavenly Father is aware of us and will bless us when the storm is through. Actually he blesses us during the storm, but sometimes we don't see the blessings until the clouds clear.

Lately I have looked at my life and counted all my blessings. Life is good. Never give up. Fight through the storm and look forward to the beautiful rainbow! I am so Happy right now and am enjoying the rain!

This boy still opens my door every time we go in the car! He is a keeper...

looking back...

I turned 23!!! I had a great birthday! I took the day off of work and went camping with the Nielsen family. We caught some fish and I survived the cold mountains.

A Wonderful Birthday complete with face wash, socks, a hat, movie and mints!

--------------------------------

Can you guess what my husband is? My costume was easy/boring and simple. My dear husband announced six months ago as he rolled over one morning and told me what he wanted to be for Halloween....A beaver with a tooth ache. So here he stands... six months later in his invisioned costume!

----------------------------------
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I love our annual Nicoll hike and then played a little croquet with the Nielsens. I lost like always, but I was thankful I didn't hit my Husband with the club, like I accidently have done in the past, oops...

----------------------------

Christmas is coming! Our tree is up and we are preparing our talks that will be given on Christmas day! I never saw myself speaking in church on Christmas day, who knew! Wish us luck :)
