Yeah for me, another post and it's olny been like two weeks since the last one!!!! I thought I would just give a little weekly update!!! This week I got a few fun things finished. We have a huge entry way in our house and I have been looking forever for an enrty way table to take up some space, but they were all SOOOO expensive!! So I decided to look on craigs list to see if i could find on and just repaint it, well I found a vintage dresser for $75 and re-painted and antiqued it and i think it is PERFECT!!! Then to hang above it I found two old windows taken from an old 1930's house (from craig's list for $10), I think they are pretty cool!!! AND I finally found curtains for my living room, so it was a good decorating week!!!! We went to the Dr. last week and our baby girl is still growing and looking healthy and we couldn't be happier. It is so cool to look at my tummy and see her moving and flip flopping all over the place and I don't think there is a cooler feeling then feeling her kick inside me!!! Well I think that is all for now!! Oh and for everyone who wants to see here are some "belly pics"!!!


Here I am at almost 30 weeks, I had just taken my church shoes off and it was hot so yes my feet are swollen!!

Another one!!

Here is my table I am so proud off! It originally had three drawers on both sides but we took the bottom two out and Levi made boxes where the drawers were so we could put baskets in there to make it look more like a table and less like a dresser!! I think we do good work!!


My curtains!! LOVE THEM!!


Here's what they look like pulled back!!

Time for a Serious Update!!

Ok, I am officially the worst blogger!! But I am back now (or I hope to be)!! A lot has changed since the last time I blogged IN MARCH!!!
So I will try and give the readers digest version!! Levi and I had been trying to start our family for about 9 months with no luck. I knew it might be more difficult because about 2 years ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis (basically when I was on my periods that were not regular I would bleed up into my body as well as out and then my body would go um there is not supposed to be blood in here and so my body would attack the places the blood was, so it was basically attacking itself and that creates scar tissue, and all of that is VERY PAINFUL) one side effect is that it can be hard to get pregnant.
I had heard about a surgery where they go in and clean everything out and that it could possibly make it easier to get pregnant. So I met with a specialist and scheduled surgery for Monday March 16. Well go figure I hadn't had me period that month so a couple days before surgery I took a home pregnancy test and it was negative. I called my doctor and she said they would do a blood test before surgery to make sure I was not pregnant (because if I was pregnant and they did surgery the baby would miscarry). I got to the hospital Monday morning got into my hospital gown had an IV started and was all ready to go into surgery. The nurse came in and asked me if there was any chance that I could be pregnant and I said well maybe but the home test was negative, so they had me do a test there and it came back "faintly positive" so then they did a blood test and we had to wait 45 min. for it to come back!!!! As i was laying in the bed at the hospital all of the sudden both my nurses and my doctor threw back the curtain with huge smiles on there faces and said "well, look like we are not doing surgery today, your pregnant"!!!!!!!! I looked at Levi and just started crying we were both so so so happy and shocked at the same time!!!!
So needless to say we are expecting our first baby, and yes it is a baby girl, on November 23, 2009 and we couldn't be happier!!!
And to top it off a few days before we found out I was pregnant Nicole told the family she was pregnant!!! We are about two weeks apart and she is also having a girl!!!
So right now I am 27 weeks along and loving every second of it!! I can feel and see her move all the time and cannot wait to meet her in November!!!

Nicole and Rhen came to town about a week ago and my mom insited we take "belly pictures" so here you go!!!

I had already put on my pajamas so I look lame and Nicole looks way cute!! Oh well!

Tummy to Tummy!!! :) In these pictures I am six months and Nicole is six and a half!!

We got to sleep in and go snowmobiling, and take naps and play games and watch movies!! I would do it again in a HEARTBEAT!! Thanks Danny and Kristen for inviting us!!!

A Sad Day!

For the past year I have had the opportunity and blessing of serving in the Young Women's program as an advisor of the Mia Maids in our ward. I have had so much FUN!! Ever since Levi and have been married I have wanted so bad to be in the Young Women's and I finally had my chance! I loved going to mutual on Wednesday and planning the activities and the lessons and especially getting to know all of the sweet girls in our ward! Two weeks ago they made the announcement that our ward was going to be split, well Levi and I ended up in the new ward that got created and all of the young women and leaders I had worked with were in the othe ward so of course I got released!!! It was so sad, I can only hope that I get called to the Young Women's in our next ward!!! My last mutual with all the girls was last Wednesday and when I left all the girls gave me these BEAUTIFUL flowers and this sweet card that hey had all signed for me. It was so nice of them (and I only cried a little bit)!! I loved being in Young Women's!!!!

TWO YEARS!!!

January 5th, 2009 marks our 2 year anniversary! I honestly can not believe how fast it has gone, time sure flies when your having fun!! We have had a blast these past two years, learning and growing together, it doesn't get much better then always having the love of your life and your best friend to experience and walk through life with!! I am so grateful every day for Levi and the blessing he has been in my life, he works so hard for our family and always wants the best for us! I love love love that he makes me laugh everyday, and he always has a positive attitude! He takes such good care of me when I am not feeling well, in fact he ALWAYS takes good care of me (he even rubs my feet for me after I have had a long day at work).I am grateful that he is a worthy priesthood holder and that he loves to go to church and loves to go to the temple. Levi makes me want to be a better person and I am SO IN LOVE with him!!! I DEFINITELY found my soul mate and I can't wait to see what our future has in store for us!!! I LOVE YOU LEVI HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!









I KNOW I KNOW....... TIME FOR AN UPDATE!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!! We were able to spend time with both of our families, and it was a blast! Christmas is DEFINITELY one of our favorite holidays because it is so family oriented.

One night for date night Levi and I went to look at Christmas lights, and we found this house, it was OUT OF CONTROL!!! Cars were lined up and down the street to see it, every inch (even the lawn and roof) was COVERED in Christmas lights, it was pretty cool!!


Every Christmas Eve Levi's brother Matt and his wife have a fancy formal dinner at there house, we look forward to it every year! This is our nephew Kaden, he is such a STUD!!


Kaden and I before dinner.


This is our niece Hallye, she was trying to guess what all the presents were!


After we ate dinner at Levi's brothers house we met up with my family at my mom and dads house. It's tradition that on Christmas Eve you get PJ's. This is my cousin Sam and her boyfriend Drew in their new "MATCHING PJ'S"!! CLASSIC!!


Two of my FAVORITE people, my brothers Jake an Isaac in their new PJ's!


After putting on our PJ's we decided to watch a Christmas movie. Jake decided he wanted to sit on my lap, it's all good he only weighs 115 pounds!!!
