Insane shoppers!

Well Brock and I made it back from SLC last night. We picked Jason up from work on our way home. I thought that this would be a great idea! WOW was I wrong. I wanted to eat in Carlin at the Chinese restaurant, but Jason said that he didn't want to wait that long. So we went to the Pizza Factory, because one of the guys Jason works with told him that they have a really good sandwich there. I was not excited at all, I am not big on sandwiches for dinner and I definitely didn't want pizza. I thought I was the pregnant one! So I decided I would just eat when we got home. I wasn't in a very good mood after that! I am too much of a spoiled brat and when I don't get my way I tend to pout.
SLC was insane! All the stores were so packed and the lines were so long. I usually love to shop, but I was so annoyed on Saturday. I decided that if I really need something, then I would just order it online. There was some good points to our trip. Saturday night I got 10 hours of sleep! I also ate with my family at Red Lobster and IHOP! They were so good! Brock was able to play with his two cousins that he doesn't get to see very often. They had a great time, especially while my uncle Al was babysitting them and he took them to the park.
I am definitely glad to be back home! Tonight Brock and I are going to put up our Christmas decorations! It is about time! I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Still moving!!

Well we are still in the process of moving. I do have to say that it is getting much better. We still don't have all of our stuff at our new house, but we will get there. I am so thankful that Jason has worked on our house all of his 7 days off. Poor guy, he hasn't had much of a break. I am happy to say that I now have a functioning kitchen and Jason has been working on the other bathroom and I think that it will be functioning by the time I get home today. So, things are looking up. I still have lots to unpack, but oh well I will get there.
I think that I am going to go to Salt Lake this weekend to do some Christmas shopping. It will be fun, because I can stay at my sister Melanie's house and I have a couple of cousins that can watch Brock. I think that I will take the truck, because I want to go to IKEA for some storage cabinets. I also want to go Tai Pan to get Christmas decorations for my tree. Since we moved my parents gave us one of their big trees. I want to get new decorations for it. This is the downfall to moving so close to Christmas, I have been so busy unpacking that I have not put my Christmas up get. I am a little sad, because this my favorite holiday season. Hopefully I will get it all up by next week.
We had a good thanksgiving at my parent's house. Mostly all my mom's family and my dad's parents were there. We had a good time! I was so excited that my uncle brought pies from Marie Calenders. The banana cream is my favorite! I also enjoy the left over turkey sandwiches. The day after Thanksgiving was my birthday! The big 26! My grandma took my uncle Swen and his family along with Brock to Orvada, where my great grandpa has a ranch. On there way back Jason, Stephanie, Edwin, and I met them in Winnemucca to watch a movie. Of course I went to Bolt with Brock. Jason, Steph, and Edwin went to the James Bond movie. We had a good time. Overall our Thanksgiving break was good!

Moving

I remember now why I hate to move! It is such a pain! We finally slept in our house for the first time last night. I am having mixed emotions about the whole thing. I did not want to move into the house before it was finished. I feel like I am being pushed from one house to the next. Of course being pregnant isn't helping my emotions. I cried for along time last night, because I am so frustrated that I am living in a house that I can't even get ready in. I had to shower at my parent's house last night, because I need someone to light my pilot light. Then I had to turn around this morning and go back over to my parent's to get ready for work, because I do not have a mirror to get ready with. Oh well, I am sure it will get better. I was just wishing that Jason wasn't on graveyards, so that I would have felt a little better about things. Thank goodness he is now on his seven days off.
On the other hand I am excited that I have a doctors appointment today. Brock and I are going to the appointment. It will be fun for just the two of us to have time to spend together. Of course he has stipulations for going, I have to get him Pokemon cards at WalMart. He is such a negotiator. He has been a trooper through the move. We didn't even get started on his homework until 10:00pm last night. I feel like a terrible mother.
I am excited for Thanksgiving and to spend time with my family. My family has not been together for the last two years for Thanksgiving and Christmas, because my brother has been on a mission. It should be a great day. I am also excited for my birthday, because Jason and I are going to go on a date. We don't ever take the time for just the two of us. Hopefully we will be able to go to a movie! I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Addiction

Sooo I haven't posted in awhile, because I am addicted to the twilight series. I started the first book on Nov. 7th and I just finished the last book today. I loved the whole series. I could not get enough of them. This is very rare for me to be excited about a book, usually I hate to read. I am so excited for the movie to come out. I am going to watch it next week. I just hope that it is as good as the book, otherwise I will be completely disappointed. Well back to reality and the real world now.
Jason and I have been working on getting our house ready, so that we can finally move into it. Last night I went there after school and stayed until 11 and Jason came home at 1. We are both really tired and I am so sore. This little girl sure loves to torture her mom. She has me in pain every day, but it is definately worth it. Anyway, back to the whole house thing. Our carpet was laid yesterday and Jason worked on the bathroom and putting the trim up. I painted the bathroom and a whole bunch of trim. I am going back over tonight to work on it, because I want to start moving some things into it this weekend. Jason is going to be on graveyards, but I think I have our home teachers lined up to help us out. We still have a lot of odds and ends to finish up, but overall it is coming along good.
There is one thing that I hate about being a teacher....parent confrences. I have parent confrences tomorrow night and all day Friday. I not looking forward to it at all! Anyway I better get over to my house and get some more stuff done.

It's a Girl!!!

So last Wednesday Jason, Brock, and I headed to Winnemucca for our ultrasound. I was so excited. The lady that did our ultrasound was so nice and she was really good about showing us everything and explaining what parts where what. I was so excited when she told us that we are having a girl!!! I then asked her how often she is wrong and what percentage she would say she was about it being a girl. She said that she had been doing ultrasounds for a long time and that she has only been wrong twice. Once was on a set of twins and the other was a boy instead of a girl. So, when I heard the last part I was a little unsure, until she told me that she was 95% sure that it is a girl. I couldn't wait to tell everyone and neither could Jason. We both got on our phones right away to announce our exciting news. Brock on the other hand was not to excited during the ultrasound when the lady said he was going to have a sister. He argued with her and told her that he was going to have a brother. He is completely fine with it now. We are so excited that we have a sweet little girl that is coming straight from heaven!
We went to Alamo for Halloween to see Jason's family. We had a good time! Jason and Jeremy took Brock, Ryan, and Ben trick-or-treating. I was glad, because it rained off and on. I helped Andrea hand out candy. I love looking at all the cute costumes! On Saturday Andrea and I went to Vegas to do some Christmas shopping. This is early for me to start, but I thought that if I get a head start then I could spread out everything between pay checks. It was so nice and warm there. When we got home that night Jason and I played pinochle with his parents. It was a great time and Annette and I ended up beating the boys 2 to 1. Annette also taught Jason and I how to play pinochle with 2 people. It isn't as fun as playing with 4 people, but it is still entertaining. We headed home on Sunday. The trip home was much more pleasant than the trip there. Overall our weekend turned out to be a fun trip, but I am sure glad to be home.

Can you say LOSER!

I am terrible at keeping up on my blog. The main reason is because I can't post any pictures off of my camera, so I have been messing with that hoping that I could figure it out. No luck so far! Well last Friday I hosted Bunco at my house. We had a great time. I asked everyone to dress up in their Halloween costumes. I also went to familyfun.go and found the cutest Halloween recipes that I passed out to all the girls to make and bring one item. All of the food turned out amazing. I look forward to getting together for a girl's night once a month. I decided to make these cute little gifts for each girl. I bought these little jars at the dollar store and I used my mom's vinyl machine to print out the word BOO, then I filled them with candy corn. They were so cute! I also was in charge of buying all the prizes, so I did up different vinyl projects to give away. So needless to say it was a success!
Jason has been working really hard on our house. I think that he is tired of being in this tiny house with all my crap! I came home from my friend Tasha's purse party last Tuesday night and there was a budget laying on the table when I got home. Some of it was a little unpractical, but for the most part he did a great job! I need a budget that is for sure! I love little things like this that Jason does, even though I don't always want to go along with them. In the end I realize that this is only going to better our future and relationship! We have our moments, but I am truly blessed that I found Jason. He is a great husband and father to Brock. I was always worried that I would never find someone that would love Brock like their own. BOY was I wrong. Jason is great with Brock. I am so excited that they have created a special bond between each other. He is a keeper for sure!
We go to the doctor on Wednesday for our ultra sound. I have a feeling that the baby is not going to cooperate. We will see! I will keep everyone posted.

Flying By!!!

Why does it seem like the days and weeks keep flying by so fast? I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago. Brock was able to hear the heartbeat and he thought that was pretty neat! He keeps saying that it better be a brother, because if it is a girl it will not be his sister! I have an ultrasound scheduled for the 29th of this month, so hopefully we will find out then.
Gary and Annette (Jason's parents) came down this last weekend. It was Gary's birthday on Friday, so we took him out to dinner at the steak house in town. On Saturday Jason and Gary worked on the floor to the master bathroom. Jason started to tile it last night. We took the guys lunch and ate with them at the other house. Then Annette, Brock, and I watched confrence, went to a few stores around town. Annette needed to find Ben a present for taking care of her dog, Nia. We found a cute little cat to take his old cat's place. We didn't want Jacob to feel left out, so Annette got him a little stuffed animal as well. Annette then watched Brock while I went to my hair appointment. Brock really liked hanging out with Annette and Gary. They both played legos with him, which they got him for his birthday. Also they got him 4 lego computer games. Annette and Brock went on a marathon reading adventure. Poor Annette she read lots of books to Brock. No wonder why he didn't want them to leave.
