So, a little over a year ago I started a bunco group. We meet once a month and play bunco, which is a dice game. There are 12 players (all girls of course). We all rotate houses and the hostess decides on the menu and assigns out everyone to bring something to eat or drink. I look forward to this night every month. It is a girl's night out and we sit and laugh so hard! Also there are 5 prizes at the end! The reason I am telling you all this, is because I am hosting next months bunco and I am so excited about it. Since it is in October I have asked everyone to come dressed up in some sort of costume. Also I will be having everyone make these food Halloween recipes that I found online. I think that it is going to be a great night and I can't wait!
Well enough about bunco. Not too much else has been going on except work. I still am not too thrilled about my job this year. I did find out today that I have been paying for an extra insurance plan that will pay me $1900 during my maturnity leave. SCORE!!! Next week is homecoming week and of course I volunteered to be in the faculty skit and lip sync. I have one of the lead roles in the lip sync, it is freaking hillarious! If you have ever seen the Blues Brothers, we are doing a song off of that movie and I have to do a lot of dancing. I am one of the Blues Brothers, so it should be quite interesting. We practiced today and boy am I out of shape. Some of the ladies told me that I am going to put myself into premature labor. Yeah right!!!! I am so excited about it. For the skit we are doing Hollywood Squares and my part is Jessica Simpson, which is perfect because I can be the biggest blonde. The role shouldn't be that hard to pull off.
Jason is on his days off, so he has been working on our house. He textured our bathroom today and is going to tile it this weekend. I am hoping we will be in there by November. I love when Jason is off, so he can take Brock to school and I don't have to take the extra time to get him ready before I leave. Well enough blabbing for now, maybe if I posted more often I wouldn't have so much to talk about.

Why now?
Well we made it back from Joseph! If Jason and I ever get a divorce, it is going to be because of traveling together on a road trip. LOL It seems like all we do is argue over the dumbest things in the car and it annoys me that I just can't go to another room. So after Kaia's blessings Jason decided that we were going to drive back to Salt Lake and stay the night there. Well we got to Provo and ate at my favorite place, the Olive Garden. Then Jason decided that he needed to go to church in Battle Mountain the next morning, so he wanted to drive all the way home that night. I was so annoyed and tired. I told him that I refused to drive, so we made it to Wells and decided to stay the night. We got this nasty room that smelled like mold. It was a terrible night! We made it home the next morning in time for Jason to make it to Young Mens, so he could do his calling. (Since when did he care if he goes to church or not) Well enough of the venting and complaining about that.
The other thing that I would like to complain about is that since school started I tend to get night sickness. Not every night, but occasionally. So last night was the worst and I am going to tell one of the most embarassing stories that has ever happenend to me, so other people can get a good laugh. I figure if I don't tell on myself, Jason will share it will the rest of you. So I wasn't feeling good, so Jason gave Brock a bath and put him to bed. We were watching Americas Got Talent it came to the end and I ran to go to the bathroom. Well it turned out that not only did I need to go to the bathroom, but the baby decided that I needed to throw up as well. So I am sitting in the bathroom throwing up for 5 minutes straight and Jason come sin and says what is going on. I stated the obvious and he told me I sounded like a weed eater and that he had never heard anyone use so much force to throw up. I just turned and looked at him and told him to get me a towel, because I had just peed all over the floor. He started laughing and he couldn't stop. I told him it wasn't funny and that I couldn't control it. It was either puke or pee on the floor, I would much rather clean up pee. Jason wanted to call Jeremy right then and I told him no way. I have never puked so hard and so much in my life, my throat still burned for most of today and it even gets better. I was helping a student today and I had to run outside and throw up again. This is the first time that this has happenend at school. My only question is why now am I getting sick? I think I have figured out what causes it, LEMONS. Lemons don't make lemonade when you are pregnant, they just make you throw up!

My blog is being stocked!!
I am a complete looser! It is pretty bad when your husband checks your blog to see when the last time you posted. He gets on my blog all the time and checks out everyones posts and then asks why I hardly post. Well let me fill you in on what has been going on in out lives. I started teaching school on the 21st of August and Brock started his first day of Kindergarten the same day. I thought for sure I would cry as Jason and I dropped him of and got him situated in his classroom. I held back the tears and instead of realizing that my baby is growing up, I was full of excitement for him to start a new chapter in his life. I never new that Kindergartners have so much homework. We spend 30 minutes to an hour every Monday on his weekly homework that is due Tuesday or Wednesday. Also we have to read every night for 15 minutes and Brock has to read a poem that goes with the letter of the week 7 times each night. Good thing Jason is around to help! Brock likes Jason to read with him.
Jason and Brock have started to bond a lot more since school started. Jason takes him to school on his days off and picks him up. He has only been late one time and been forgotten to pick up once as well. Thank goodness for the responsible babysitter that picks up the slack. I am so glad that Jason and Brock are creating a stronger bond with each other. It has been hard for Brock to accept another authority figure, but he is finally adjusting. They have lots of fun playing around and joking with each other.
As for me when school started, I started to get a little sick. I was not very happy about the whole puking thing, but thank goodness it has stopped. I just seem to feel tired all the time. I feel like my house and yard is falling down all around me, but no matter how bad it gets, I just can't seem to find the energy to clean it. Hopefully this won't last long. So, I don't know how many of you watch Army Wives, but I am addicted. My sister bought season 1 and I watched the whole thing in a weekend. Then on Monday the season 2 marathon was on lifetime and I spent all day watching it. Again this proves that I am a complete looser! The second season isn't over yet, so I was so excited that I was able to watch it before I had to wait for it to come out on DVD. Anyway I will quit blabbing and I will try to post more often so I don't have such long posts.

Scrapbook-a-thon
Well I survived my first time at CKU. CKU is a scrapbook retreat that they put on every year in several different places around the United States. The one that I attended was in Provo, Utah. My sister Melanie and I went from Thursday to Saturday night. It was so much fun and we got so much free stuff!!! They had the cutest ideas and we made so many different projects. It was so fun to get away and have time to spend with Mel. I am way sad that she has moved to Salt Lake to attend cosmetolgy school. It will be such a great oppurtunity for her. I don't know who is going to miss her more, my mom or Brock. When she left Brock cried and put his arms around her neck and would not let go. It was so hard for me to see my little boy so sad. He is definately attached to his auntie M.
Enough about the sad stuff. Jason and I just got home from playing on our co-ed softball team. It was fun and I got some really good laughs at Jason. He asked to be 1st base and he was cracking me up. Also he always swung at the first pitch when he got up to bat. I think he only made it home once. So finally I have found something that I can beat him at. He is always beating me in games, but not tonight! We had fun and that's all that matters.
We went to our first doctor's appointment on Monday. I didn't actually get to see the doctor, but I saw the nurse and we figured out my due date and I was asked about a million questions. Jasona and Brock waited in the waiting room, because Jason thought that it would be more than questions and a pee test. Some times he is so funny! So I was right, my due date is March 26 and I will be 8 weeks on Friday. So far everything is going great, except for the fact that I am already getting huge and had to buy some maternity pants. That is ridiculous!!! Melanie keeps telling me that I am going to have twins. Wouldn't that be an amazing experience! I would love having a set of twins. Well we will see at our next appointment.

Exciting News
I am such a slacker when it comes to posting new blogs! We just got back from Salt Lake on Sunday. We went to the zoo on Friday. It was so hot, but Brock had a great time. He especially loved the white alligator and the giraffes. On Saturday we went to Lagoon with my dad's side of the family. We had a great time! Brock was able to go on some of the bigger rides this year by me taking the wheels out of his Heley's and letting him wear those. They have a thick sole that made him taller. The best part was Lagoona beach. Brock loved to pull everyone around the lazy river. He just finished 6 weeks of swimming lessons and he loves to be in the water. We also loved the one water slide that goes from the slide to a little area of water then switches back to the slide and it keeps going like that for awhile. One of the life guards kept flipping Jason's tube over everytime he went into her water area, it was hillarious! We also had fun mini putting, riding the rides, and watching the music performances, oh yeah and EATING! We left about 11:15 to go back to our motel rooms. On Sunday we all slept in and went to eat at Marie Calendars with the fam. The only thing that sucked was that their air conditioner was broke and it was so hot in there, but the food was GREAT! Then we left for home.
Anyway that is not the exciting news. The exciting news is that I am pregnant! We found out a couple of weeks ago. I am not very far along, maybe a month. I think that I will be due at the end of March. We are all really excited, especially Brock. He has been begging for a brother, a sister, and a baby for awhile. Jason and Brock want it to be a boy and of course I want a little girl. Whatever he or she turns out to be we will love them. Anyway that is our exciting news!

It's AboutTime!
I finally created a blog! I keep telling my SIL that I am going to do it and I have kept putting it off. Anyway a little about myself. I was born in Idaho and moved to Nevada right before I turned 8. I live in a place called Battle Mountain and the only things that it is known for is having a BM on the mountain, which everyone makes fun of us for, and we were named the armpit of America a few years back. So, that pretty much somes up where I live! I am just kidding, I love it here ( I never thought that I would say that) my family is here and so are a lot of my friends that I went to school with. We all swore that we were never going to move back here after we graduated, we were all wrong. There is just something about a small town that makes me feel safe and secure raising my children in!
Enough about BM, I recently just got married to the love of my life on May 17, 2008. It was a great wedding and reception. We had lots of friends and family that shared our special day with us. Jason and I met on the Internet (LDS singles to be specific). He hates when I tell people that, but I think it is hilarious! It doesn't bother me one bit, because I don't think we would have met any other way. We were living at opposite ends of the state! I had started talking to him back in March of 2007 and then he just stopped responding online. Then at the end of July I heard from him again and he explained that his subscription expired and that he had re-signed up. We exchanged phone #'s that night! Two weeks later I met in in the middle of nowhere (Tonapah, Nevada) to ride with him as he followed some buddies of his that were racing from Vegas to Reno. It was a fun trip and things started to progress from there. In October Jason decided to come to Battle Mountain to apply at the mines up here and that we he was hired! I was so excited!
I am so lucky to have found such a great guy who loves me for all of my imperfections. Jason has not only chosen me to be a part of his life, but also he has chosen to be my son's(Brock) dad. I am so excited to expand on our family and hope that it happens soon. Well enough for now, I feel like I just wrote a whole novel!
