We're having a GIRL!!!!!


7 months and I am finally looking pregnant (not just fat)! Her legs were crossed the first time; so, we had to wait another month to find out we are having a girl!!!! My friend Danielle wanted me to take pictures of my little belly so she could see "how cute I was." So there you go, Danielley! I am way into making quilts, so obviously I had to make cute little girl ones when I found out. And, last night we were so bored that we went and bought our first outfit! We are getting pretty excited! We picked out a name and it is officially going to Anya Rachelle!

Happy Halloween!!










We did get into the Halloween spirit! We went to the corn maze in Ft. Collins, made sugar cookies, and we carved pumpkins (against Jesse's will). He was sick and he still was a good sport and look at the result: His "Gremlin-Troll-Goblin" Pumpkin! Good job Jess!!!! I got to clean it out (my favorite part), and he did all of the rest. Matt and Stef joined in our fun (also against Matt's will). His result: His "Pirates of the Caribbean" ship. The boys carved and the girls made cookies for their reward for being good sports! I love holidays, and I love that everyone else finally got into the sprit with me!

Tagged!

Ok Skip let's see if I can really think of six things! But I don't six people who haven't already been tagged so I am just going to do myself ok? I'm new at this give me a break!


The Rules:Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.At the end of the post the player then tags six people and posts their names then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Have fun!


1. Every morning when I wake up I pull up my shirt and look at me little pregnant tummy to see if maybe today I look like I might be pregnant. You know what finally this week I kind of actually do after almost 7 months!

2. I HATE! HATE! HATE! to do the dishes! I love to cook so this is a bad thing! I have just discoverd paper plates! Wonderful!!! But, I fill up my sink every morning with hot soapy water and put my dirty dishes throughout the day it so it will be easy just to wipe them clean when I roll around to it, but by the time I actually get around to it the water is cold and that brings me to number 3!

3. I hate putting my hands in cold dirty water and I always make Jesse pull the plug in my sink so I don't gag! How pathetic is that!

4. I have a quilt obsession! If I start a quilt I will honestly finish it in 3 days no matter how big or small just because I get so addicted to it! I spend hours and hours just cutting and sewing and clipping and laying it out on the floor so I can see my progress with each row!

5. I am addicted to my little brother Carter and sister Jillian! Every time I go home I bring a present for them. I talked to them on the phone almost every day! When I go home they always want to sleep with me and so sometimes I let them even though I think Jesse thinks that it is a little weird! Look at the pictures of them how could you not be addicted seriously!

6. I love to look out the window! Any window! I could sit and stare out the window looking at nothing and really everything in sight and be content for hours! I just love watching things happen in the world around me! I'm not a stalker I promise Skip! But I do see you every now and then while I am staring out my window.

Camping






So this was our first camping trip together! It was so fun! Right Jess??? We were in Roosevelt National Park. The Bad Lands in North Dokota. Anyways Jess isn't much of a camper I found out after a long night squeezed in our two-man (really should be called a one-man) tent, wondering what kept roaming around our tent and hitting it. I have to admit I was a little freaked out but Jess was there to protect me so I figured I was okay. But little did I know what was to come! Jess was freaked out himself and gets up and says that he is not taking another second of this and he is going to sleep in the car. I just had to laugh because he was really being serious. Well I finally convinced him to stay in the tent with me after I made a promise (with my fingers crossed behind my back) that I would never ever make him go camping with me again! It turned out to be quite the adventure to say the least. We later found out that it was wild horses running through our camp making all of that noise and we were the ones dumb enough to put our tent under a pine tree and have pine cones fall on us all night long. It was fun and I can't wait to battle it out to get him to go with me again!!

Honeymoon








So this was our on our Honeymoon in Texas. We picked Texas because that is where we were having Christmas. I have to admit I wasn't very happy at first when I found out Jesse's brother Matt and his wife Stefany would be flying down with us and staying in the same hotel as us (so Matt could get in a few golf games with his uncles before Christmas). But it turned out to be great and it was only a little weird meeting them at the airport the morning after we were married! Despite it all it was a wonderful time. His uncles had rented a limo for us and sent us to a really nice Brazilian resturaunt and then our limo driver took us all around Houston to look at the Christmas lights. We also went down to the beach in Galvaston. Even though it was too cold to get in it was fun to just go and hang out on the beach. We hung out (just the two of us) for the next couple of days doing random things in Katy brfore it all ended and it was time to do Christmas stuff with the family. I have to admit I had a little break down on Christmas eve. It was so different being in a hotel with out my family for the first time ever! However I was able to pull it together and enjoy a wonderful Christmas with my new family!

Our Wedding



So this was our wedding! Can you say cold!!!!! It was 4 degrees. By the time we were done taking pictures and eating at our luncheon it was then that I barely started feeling my fingers again! So my advice to all the girls that are dumb enough to get married in Logan Utah in the middle of December is.... #1 Have some kind of gloves on your hands. #2 Wear long-johns under your dress. #3 Wear socks and snow boots not cute little sandals that look so good with your dress. Who cares anyways what kind of cute shoes you have on! No one can even see them. #4 Let your mother win the battle of having fake flowers at the temple because I'm telling it was so much easier not having to worry about how your flower were freezing and falling apart! Thanks for talking me into it mom! So just remember if you have to get married in the dead of winter don't think you need to look all cute and "springy" because it's not spring and you will freeze even if you look cute!
