23 weeks and things that make me smile.

Some Randomness I found on my camera that make me smile!

Brandon Playing with the girls! These two LOVE him!

 Our crazy Keisha dog!

 Sometimes when we go to Walmart we see random melon things. This was the last one we tried. I cut it open and wanted to vomit! I don't even remember what it called, but IT STINKS!!

Alright here we are at 23 weeks!! This was a Sunday and was the first day Brandon got to feel the baby kick! It was really fun and special. The first time I realized he was kicking me was at work on Easter Sunday.

 It is so much fun feeling this little guy kick!

March FUN

My sister and her husband asked me about 5 months ago to babysit their kids while they go to Washington and their pioneer trek. So it was me and the kids for about 6 days! and we had FUN!! This was my first time seeing the Gilbert Temple! it was so fun they have this "visitor center" a trailer that has all the info about the temple and this area so you can watch the progress. It was really cool they had parts of the temple that were going to go up but had a chip in it or some kind of blemish so mashed it up and gave bits of "the temple" to the visitors. It was really neat!This is St. Patricks day of course we had to have green pancakes and milk!! the kids thought it was so weird!

This is our snow trip! of course to Lady bug peak! It was such a fun short little hike. I'm super out of shape ha ha but I'll just blame it on the altitude! Keisha loved it!!

I think this was the first time she's been in this much snow and she was just rolling in it!! Random pool of water on the mountain. I guess they were doing some "controlled burns"

This is my "pregnancy picture" I'm about 18 weeks here. And still getting nauseated, but it's lessening, I don't think I've really felt the baby kick but I am getting bigger and we are so excited! did I mention we are having a

BOY!!

This is us at the top!! We made it!!

This is the new toy!! Brandon is super excited! He got a smoken deal and now we have officially embraced the small town and drive it pretty much EVERYWHERE!! As you can we are shopping at Home Depot.

We have some awesome trails just 5 minutes away from our house! It's so fun, but I have decided that the black top roads are for me at this time. So he has been going out with friends, because I don't like him being out there by himself! Any excuse for him to go out he'll take it! So let him know!

I've also started a garden but I'll take more pictures when it looks more like a garden!

February

So I was wanting to post something about February so I was looking at my camera, and the last Picture I took was of Brandon's cake from his graduation party. . .
Needless to say February flew by and because of work there was no time to do anything but work and sleep. . .
I Started working at another job which requires training full time, AND I was working 2 to 3 days a week at my other job so I was working like 5-6 days a week, and then my days off I slept! My amazing husband kept the house together and the fridge well stocked during this time! He is so GREAT!!

But It was really nice Because working that much kept my mind off of the nausea. The pregnancy is going well, we find out the gender on March 13!! and we are so excited! Clothes are starting to get tighter, which is alright because I mostly go from scrubs to PJ's anyways! :) I get up like 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom, which makes it interesting being half a sleep and finding the toilet in a hurry! But we are enjoying all these new experiences! :)

Brandon started his new job and comes home and tells me how much he LOVES HIS JOB!! It's so fun to see him excited!

That's about all that's happened in February... March Brings new hope for rest, Orange blossoms, poppy flowers scattering the desert, spending time with my husband and many more fun things!!! I couldn't be more excited!

Christmas 2011

WE had a SNOWNY Christmas Eve!!! Well mostly because we celebrated Christmas on December 23rd due to the fact that I got to work! So of course I made Brandon come out and play in it with me! Keisha even had fun in it!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011

Wishing you and All your family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Our Christmas was so fun!! We celebrated it on Dec. 23rd due to fact that when you are then new guy in town you get to work the Holidays. . . or the whole weekend of the holidays. Which stinks but I'm glad that other works with kiddos were able to spend Christmas with them. So we had a Super Christmas Brandon got me an IPAD!!!! (I thought it was a gun the whole time, which I'm glad it wasn't) and Brandon got a gun!! We have been so blessed this year and are so Thankful for our blessing, our jobs, our friends, neighbors and family!
