2012!!!!! AYYYY OOOOOO

as my sweetie is sitting here making fun of me all i can say is AAYYYYY OOOOO ahaha well i was reading a dear friends blog (miss makensie baker) and her fun blog made me want to do better at blogging. Cause lets be honest i have a lot of fun things going on in my life but...i'm horrible with words so that is my one problem. I wish i could pay someone to blog my life for me in more interesting and smart sounding way! But for now...bare with me on all my mistakes and lake of creative writing skills and who knows maybe my writing skills will improve! :) So....my new goal...blog once a week! hahaha but really i want to so we'll give it a try! :)

update on the BRYNLEE girl!!!!!!
SHE IS THE BEST BABY GIRL EVERRR!!!!! she is starting to walk and it was cutest walk ever! She is saying "mama", "baba" and new this week is "dada" it is the cutest thing. A couple days ago we were driving around town and she was just chattin it up in the back seat with an occasional giggle. Seriously so sweet!
She is a sleeping machine which i am so grateful for. Cody said with the next one we'll have to train them the same...but unfortunately i did NO training with this little girl. She just did her thing and it has worked out perfectly.
ohh...another thing that is so fun about her is she LOVES the horses!!! every morning she has to go to the window and watch them eat their breakfast. She seriously gets the biggest most happiest smile in the world! I love watching her look at them. But every time I try to take of picture of that sweet face she changes it. :( little stinker.

We are LOVING living up in Washington! My dad and I planted a ton of tulips and they are starting to sprout so it is so fun going out everyday and checking them out.

Cody and I are starting to look for ourselves a house!!!! which is exciting!!!! but we're really in no hurry yet but its fun looking and dreaming! :)

still suck at blogging!!!

hahaha I can't believe i haven't posted anything on here since Brynlee has been born! i thought for sure i'd be good at posting all her cute little things...but instead i get distracted on facebook and pinterest! haha :) but i do want to post some pics of our little family! and...maybe even promise to start doing better at keeping my blog updated.

Quick update...Brynlee is now 7 months!! which is totally crazy! I can't believe how fast the time has gone! We fall more and more in love with her every day! and her smile seriously melts my heart! I love her soooooo much! she is crawling and....TEETHING :( her first tooth came in this week on the bottom left side. I never knew a little tooth could be sooo cute, but her's is! haha and its a good thing...cause something has to keep us happy through some of these crazy sleeping nights.

We've moved up to washington!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! we're living with my dad and hoping to save as much money as we can to hopefully buy our first house in the next year!!! but...i keep spending the money...surprise surprise!!! but i'm working on it!! :)

Cody has started his new job at G&W flooring as a project manager and so far is really enjoying it, and he really thinks it will be a good thing for our family! So we're excited and hope all will continue to work out!!

Me...i'm starting to help coach jv b-ball, try outs are next week. And...i'm playing indoor soccer....hahaha eeee i'm horrible!!!! But its soooo fun to play again! I also just got called as a relief society teacher and i am actually really excited, i think it will be fun!

so yep!! we're all doing good!!!! life is great! and....i really want to get good at this blogging business...but i won't make any promises!

New Year!! With lots of new changes!!!

We've moved!!! (again!! haha) We're now living in Victor Idaho. And so far we're loving it!
Cody is finishing his last 2 classes and on-line and working full time for his dad! And he has been loving it! Its been fun watching him enjoy going to work so much and feel good after a full day of hard work! He is the man!!
And i've just been being a stay at home wife! haha We figured there wasn't really a point in me trying to find a job 6 1/2 months pregnant. So its been a bit of an adjustment for me, trying to stay busy and not spend too much time on the computer and in front of the TV and so far i've done pretty good. But lets be honest...i'm ready for my little girl to get here and keep me extra busy!! haha
We weren't planning on moving till the summer time, but...everything kept falling into place way too good to not take advantage of it! So were here and starting our own little grown up life. haha
As far as my pregnancy...things are still going GREAT! i feel great, have plenty of energy and have really just enjoyed the whole thing so far. My belly is getting very big..and making it hard to bend over with ease but other than that pretty good. And the other thing semi poopy...is I just don't really care for dinner anymore...i know i need it. But cereal sounds so good every night. haha its the weirdest thing..cause I LOVE food! but...at night i'm just not that hungry.
I still haven't gotten the stuff to make her bedding...mostly cause i can't make up my crazy mind! haha i like way too many different styles that it is hard to choose just one. If i could i would have different bedding for all the different months ahaha but that would just be crazy. Plus baby bedding is sooo dang expensive...and they are only in their crib for like maybe 2 years. So its a hard decision for me. And i know it shouldn't be....i just need to get the stuff and go with it! haha So i'm hoping to do that soon.
We had Libby and Josh Christensen come and visit us from Logan! And it was so fun to see them and their kids!! They are such good friends! And I look forward to them coming more! And this is s good time to have an open invite to anyone of you to come and visit us ANYTIME!!! :) i love having people over! So come play!! haha
welp..thats about it! hope all is going good for you all!

better late than never...

I know its a little to late to post the things I am Thankful for...but then again not really cause I'm thankful for lots of things all througout the year. I just wanted to do a special thanksgiving post and never got around to it. But last week every morning when I would get into my HOT shower and was just soooo Thankful for HOT water to shower in. I know its simple...but it makes my day!! And i know not everyone is blessed with that. I aslo have been extra thankful for clemintines!!! those things are soooo dang good! I love them! :) and eat more of them than i probably should but they are sooo good! yum yum!!

So our Thanksgiving was a little crazy due to some bad weather. We were heading up to Washington to be with my family but we ended up not making it because some roads were closed. :( i was WAY sad! Cause I haven't seen my family...well since Hailey's wedding which was only in October...but for me that is a long time. Plus i have this new baby bump i've been wanting to show them! haha :) And...thanksgiving is always just a tender time of year for me since its when i lost my mom. I can't believe its been 6 years. Its so crazy some days its still seems like it was just yesterday. But its been 6 years now...crazy crazy. And we were all going to go the temple together which would have been sooo special and Cody said me and Hay Hay would have just have been crying the whole time. haha (probably true) and we were also going to take family pictures! so...i missed out on all of that!!! Plus my dad (Mr. Amazing) cooked thanksgiving dinner without any power! He is the man! He did his first deep fry turkey and loved it! So...i really wish I could have been there for all of that. But my boss is letting me take off almost a week the first part of January before Cody goes back to school to go up there. So that will be awesome!! I'll just be huge and not really wanting to take family pictures! Oh well!

But don't worry...Cody and I still had a great Thanksgiving! Cody he is sooo good to me!! I seriously am soooo dang lucky and I truly hope all my sisters find someone as good as he is for their husband one day! haha But he knew I was pretty bummed not being able to make it up there so we did all that could think of to make it fun! We ended up going to the the temple the same day as my family and did sealings and I had my first pregnant moment. I passed out!! haha and while I didn't like the feeling...I loved it at the same time cause for the first time I really felt pregnant! It was kinda fun!! in a weird way. haha

We also tried snowshoeing...and i decided...that i'm actually not the biggest fan of it. It was pretty boaring. haha but it was still fun being with Cody and watching him try and make it fun.

Well as usual my post is very random and jumps all over the place. But before I end this post I'll update you on my pregnancy! We've decided to go with the name Brynlee Dawn for our little girl!!! :) And for those of you who are curious why we choose that name... first the easy one. Midle name Dawn is both me and my mom's middle name and her mom's middle name is LaDawn. And then Brynlee is a name my mom has always loved so i know she would like it! haha :) and both Cody and I have always liked it as well. So there you have it. I know...some are wondering why I'm not naming her Kimberly after my mom...and I don't really have a real reason for not naming her that i just...think its my Mom's name. haha plus i'm sure my sister's would be mad that I took her name. haha I don't know. Anyway...my belly is getting sooo big!! and I love it so does Cody!! haha he is sooo dang cute about this whole pregnancy thing I just love it! My belly button is about to pop out any day now...which has me a little worried for how truly HUGE I am going to get. I'm only 22 weeks almost 5 months. But I'm still feeling awesome! Just lazy in the morning and having a really hard time gettin my butt to the gym. haha but i'm working on it! :)

Welp thats it for now!!! Love you all! and hopefully i'll post pictures soon!

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe we are actually having a girl!!!!! i thought for sure it was going to be a boy! but I am sooooo dang excited to have my new best friend for life!!! haha I LOVE IT!!! I should have known though that it was a girl...because I actually had a really neat experience...right before we found out we were pregnant I had a dream while we were in California for a family reunion that i was pregnant and had a little baby girl and went and played basketball that night! haha (yah right...but it was my dream) and it was just sooooo REAL!! it was crazy but... i didn't think too much of it. Cause I didn't think there was any way that i was pregnant or yadda yadda....and then when we found out i was pregnant...I thought back on that dream and realized the timing of it all was when i was pregnant and just didn't know it. (does that make sense??haha) anyway...I guess i do have some mothery instincts after all!! haha YAY ME!! and...in my dream....she was a hairy hairy little baby!!! hahha but the dang cutest thing i've EVER seen!!!!! so i can't wait to see if that part is true too... haha Cody says if she is anything like him, we could be in luck! :) oooooo i can't wait to meet her!!!! how fun!! i have an ACTUAL little person inside of me!! its crazy!!! and I LOVE ITTT!!!!!!!
So as of now i'm about 4 1/2 months pregnant! I've gained about 10 pounds and have felt really GOOD. My tummy is getting bigger and bigger...which is good cause i feel like i'm almost out of the awkward is she fat or pregnant stage? :)
well...cody is wanting me to cut his hair so i better get crackin! haha that little stinker! I'll write more later!

the Gaining weight de-lima!!

So...I have officially gained 6 pounds since i've been pregnant...and I'm having mixed feelings about it. haha because I'm not sure how much is really the baby...or me just eating more freely cause I have a baby!! haha not sure. But its all good! I have a tummy now...and once again...i'm not sure if its the baby or...me eating more freely! You see for a while food didn't sound all that great to me and once it did again...i've gone a little crazy i think! and i have developed an awful sweet tooth. I have bought candy at the store when i'm checking out..something i haven't done for years...needless to say....I think i need to be a little more careful! haha we have another doctor's visit today and I am way excited!! :)
