Happy Holidays!

I had fun on scrapblog the other night making some little holiday cards!

Sadly these are the most recent family pictures that we have! The one at the zoo was in May and the other one is at my ranch on my birthday in July.

At my cousin Dallas's wedding at the Manti temple. I think it was in August.

This one was just a few weeks ago at the zoo!

These ones are from quite a while ago I think in the spring. I just love them and think they are so cute though so I thought I would throw my creation on here!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! I can't believe Christmas is already in 2 weeks! From my retail aspect of it I am so so glad that it is almost over with and goes by so fast!

Guess what......

So I guess it's about time I announce on here that I'M PREGNANT!!!!!

I am 10 weeks a long and my due date is June 18th!

Notice my little ticker to the side it says 204 days to go. Man that seems long!

I am hoping for a girl so I can buy all the frills, and bows, and pink, and just everything GIRLY but I really will be happy either way! I already have everything boy so I would save so much money and if my 2nd was a boy I would be ok but if the 3rd wasn't well that would be sad because I would be done.

Billy REALLY wants a girl and he just knows that it is and only talks that it is a girl. If it is a girl he wants to be done. One of each and we are good but I really want 3 kids.

Morning sickness has been worst this time than it was for Connor but still not bad compared to most. With Connor I think I only threw up a total of 3 times. Well last week I threw up 5 times lol. I think I have thrown up like 10 times. It is always just in the morning and my breakfast cereal. I had to figure out that I couldn't eat the sugary cereals so I had to have frosted mini wheats for 4 days in a row. Then I tried honey nut cheerios thinking I would be fine....nope.

I am really really tired! If I could take a nap every day I would! Working a whole shift at Target sometimes feels like running a marathon. Hopefully I won't be so tired 2nd trimester.

I had my 10 week appointment yesterday and got to hear the heart beat. I LOVE hearing the heart beat for the 1st time! That is what I was waiting for to announce it :). Connor was with me and he heard it and comes over and I was like do you hear that? It's the baby's hearbeat and he said I wanna see it. So cute!

I hope you all have a HAPPY AND WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING. If you are a CRAZY Black Friday shopper remember I am working at Target dealing with all of you haha :).

Just a little late!

Wow I am so behind with blogging! I only did one post in October! I was looking on my blog where it shows the month and how many posts you did and 3 had been the least until October which was 1! In my defense I took some of the pictures I posted on this post on our old camera which is now Billy's camera. I didn't think it would be a big deal but then when I wanted to upload the pictures from it I realized we didn't know where the cord to plug it in to the computer was. I had to wait for Billy to get the pictures put onto a cd so that I could put the pictures on here so that is why I haven't posted!

Ok these went in reverse order that I put them on so instead of going in order from what happened 1st to now it is most recent to least recent!

Last Saturday I had the priviledge of going to my good friend Rachel's baby Mac's sealing in the temple. She has adopted 3 little boys and they have all gotten sealed to her and her husband Nate. Seeing her 3 little boys in the sealing room in the temple was a pure moment of heaven! Baby Mac was so cute up there and was just a grinning. They all looked like little angels (which is amazing for 3 boys under 3!)

It was such a beautiful day we had fun sitting outside of the temple and chatting and taking pictures! I am loving this warm November weather but I doubt it will last much longer!

Emily Blohm, Jenni Jones, Brecken, Rachel, Gracen, Me, Mac, and Amera.

The 3 boys are Rachel's 3 boys.

What a cute family!

haha we had lots of laughs

Next up

HALLOWEEN!

We went to a party at Lisa's, she works with Billy at Target. Billy dressed up like his friend Ryan who also works with him and went to the party. He put a bunch of t-shirts in his shoulders to make himself have big shoulders like him haha.

Connor was DASH from The Incredibles for Halloween! We were worried he wasn't going to wear his costume on Halloween because he kept saying I don't want to be Dash. One night Billy said Connor do you want to wear your muscles and he said yeah! He ran around our bedroom for 10 minutes. We would say be Dash and he would just run and run!

We went trick or treating on Main Street in Spanish Fork. It was fun but overly crowded. Connor liked it though. My sister Jaqlyn is peaking out behind Woody.

Next up

MOMMY CLUB HALLOWEEN PARTY!

Connor fell asleep in the car on the way there and only slept for about 15 minutes so when we 1st went in he was ONREY! He would only sit on my lap and hug me and whine and grumble for about the 1st half hour. I let him play with my phone on the couch for a minute and he started to cheer up and then all the sudden he sat my phone down got up and he had just snapped out of it! I was so glad he got to enjoy the last half of it and took of his mr. grumpy pants!

Anti Social Connor

Social Connor!

I stole some pictures from our mommy club blog by copying and pasting them so that's why some of them are different sized and centered haha. I tried to move them over but they won't oh well! This is all the kids doing the Ghost Hunt! We put the kids in a room and shut the door and I stayed in there with them while all the other mommies scattered Ghost Candy around the living room for the kids to go get!

This is Allyson Gwillaim's little guys Garrett (the devil) and Harper (Mike Lswoski)

This is the best group shot we could get of the kid's and not even close to all of them. These are the ones that would sit or stand still for a picture!

Connor didn't want to be in the group shot and would only sit on my lap (It was at the beginning when he was tired &onrey) so this is the shot we got of him in his costume.

Ally & Garrett

Rachel & Brecken

Gavin's finished pumpkin mask!

Pin the Wart on the Witch!

Cow Bowling! This is what I brought and it was a success!

Baby Mac. He is so stinkin cute!

The kids making mini carmel apples. They were soooo good I ate like 10 of them haha.

Ok hopefully Billy doesn't kill me for putting this on here. Billy was making zombie cupcakes at his mom's on Halloween. While they were cooking him, his sister Bree, and Connor did "The Monster Mash". He told me to record it so it's his own fault haha.

These are the cupcakes he made. Bree used fingernail polish on the dolls to make them zombies haha. She had a little to much fun doing that :). The cupcakes were yummy!

Here is the video! Enjoy this it will probably be the only time I get a video of Billy dancing!

October Update!

Ok first of all I have to give a shout out to my husband! Today is his 28th birthday! Happy Birthday babe! We went to the movie Where the Wild Things Are yesterday afternoon and at night had some friends over for some food, and games. Today we just laid low since it was Sunday and his family came over for cake and ice cream.

Holy Cow I have became a blog slacker the last couple months! I have went from posting once a week or every other week to once a month! Sorry to keep you all waiting! Here is an update on what we have been up too.

Billy's mom tended Connor while we went to Where The Wild Things Are, and she was also tending baby Cadence. We came back to see these cute pictures!

He is going to be the cutest best big brother someday!

They told me that he was saying that he wanted to hold baby Cadence and then he wanted to lay by her. So cute!

Jumping on the tramp on a nice day. I have loved the weather this weekend! I wish it would stay, but I know that sadly it isn't going to.

Hair that needs a hair cut+ Static='s CRAZY HAIR! He got a much needed hair cut last Wednesday!

JUMP!

Such a silly boy.

A couple weeks ago we went to the zoo with Billy's family. I love that they have season passes and can get us in for free! Connor LOVES the zoo!

Getting sprayed from the drinking fountain!

Daddy wanted a drink too!

Isn't this the cutest most tender picture?!

Every time Connor went by on the carousel he would do this face to us! Such a ham!

A few updates on Connor:

He is still to smart for his own good! He is reading so good! It literally blows my mind that he can READ. I don't even feel like I had to teach him or work with him he just all the sudden could read! If he doesn't know a word he will say what's that word or what's that spell and usually always remembers it Lots of times he just tries to read it and comes so close! Today he was reading a book in church with Billy and would say that right word and then question if he was right and say what's the word. Billy would say the word that he said and say that's what it is you were right. In the tub we spell words with his foam ABC letters and for example I will spell CAT and he will move the C and put a B and say BAT! I know he is a genius!

Connor is a walking jukebox. He walks around with mine or Billy's I Phone and go to the I Pod and just sing and dance. He likes to play the Guitar Hero drums, or guitar (or his Yo Gabba Gabba guitar) or sing with his microphone. He knows how to get to exactly what song he wants and he will say what the song is and who sings it before he plays it. He knows every pop song on the radio. When I say know I mean he knows almost every word to them too. I can always find a song on a pop station that he knows when we are in the car. We watched the recap of the top 20 on vhl before the number 1 song on Saturday and as it went through he named every song and singer. He loves to watch music videos and copy their dance moves. The best is Taylor Swift You Belong to Me and Black Eyed Peas Boom Boom Pow. We love Glee and every week Billy buys the Glee songs from that weeks episode and the next day Connor will be singing them. He loves The Glee songs :)

He loves to ask questions lately! Every answer I give him of course produces another question and we play 20 questions all day :)

Here is an example conversation in the car

Connor:What song is this?

Me: Party in the USA

Connor: Who sings it?

Me: Miley Cyrus

Connor: What is she doing?

Me: She's at her house

Connor: Where is her house?

Me:Far, Far, Away

Connor:What does Miley do with her friends?

Me:Go shopping.

Connor:Where does she go shopping?

Me: The mall

Connor:Where's the mall?

Me: Connor that's enough

Connor has been having a hard time with bed time lately. He went from Me reading him a couple books, saying prayers, turning on his cd, and saying goodnight to "My bed is scary", "Don't leave stay here", etc. He will not want to go to bed. He will cry when I leave. One night I was in there for 45 minutes when our bed time used to take 5! A couple times when I have left he will cry and then I go back in and it's only for like 5 minutes. He just wanted his light on the other night, and yes he already has a night light. There have been a few nights like tonight where I have resorted to letting him watch Sprout on my bed and then him falling asleep and then I carry him to his bed. He wakes up in the middle of the night 2-4 times. He gets up comes in my room and says I want juice. Then the next time I want my cd. Then the next time it is usually around 6 am he just gets in bed with me. This has been going on for a few weeks. Luckily he only has woken up scared 2 times all the other times he has just wanted a drink or his cd and I carry him back to his bed and he goes back to sleep. Will I ever get a full night's sleep? What can I do to get him to not get up and want a drink or to just not get up at all?

Connor still won't let me leave him in nursery. He will be 3 in 3 months and it is a little ridiculous. Today he was doing a foam letter puzzle with a teacher not even noticing me or paying attention to me. 2 minutes after I left Mommy? Where's mommy? and starts bawling. I have tried telling him I'm leaving and that I will be back. I have tried sneaking out. I have been told that if I just go back in he will expect me to but the teachers bring him to me as well. If anyone has any more ideas of what I can do it would be much appreciated! He doesn't even give me attention when I am in there or cling to me, but it's like he has to be able to see me.

Sorry for such a long post! I will try to be better at blogging!

September Update!

Wow I have been a blog slacker this month! Ok so here is an update on the last couple weeks in this post! I can't believe that September is already almost over! Holy cow that flew by! I am also sad cuz it looks like this week the 80's weather is going to stop after tomorrow and go down to 50's to 60's. I am so not ready for WINTER BLAH! Ok on to the pictures.....

Saturday night I met my parents, Jaqlyn, Taylor and her friend Morgan at Cornbelly's. We had gotten tickets off of kbull93.com's website for 3.93 a ticket!! Thanks Ally for telling me about that! The tickets are usually 10.95 so it was a great great deal! There was so much to do there I wish we could have gone earlier but we still had so much fun! Connor's favorite things were the play house where he colored, the sand box, and the animal faces that you put your head through the hole and smile. I know funny huh. They were ones that you could open and close to stick your head out. He didn't want to leave them!

Here he is playing in the sand!

Bad glare but still cute picture.

This is what I was talking about that Connor loved. When it was closed he would be behind it and say Mommy say where are you? So I would say Connor where are you and then he would open it and poke his head out. So cute! He also kept saying take my picture so I took a ton but sadly this was the best one. They all had glares from the sun!

Me sitting in a HUGE rocking chair!

Morgan, Connor, Taylor, Jaqlyn

They had a little princess dress up place for little girls and of course Jaqlyn had to dress up like a princess. Isn't she a doll?

Princess Jaqlyn

Jaqlyn and Connor

Connor coloring in the play house. He probably was in there for a half hour.

You might have noticed in the pictures from Cornbelly's that Connor didn't have a cast on! Yep that's right he got his cast off last Wednesday! He is doing so well! He still walks with his foot pointed outward but he is running and playing pretty much like normal.

Waiting for the Doctor to come take his cast off.

Gotta have a sucker while we wait! Cutting off his cast he SCREAMED just like he did when they changed his cast. It was pretty traumatic as were the x-rays. I am so glad his cast is off now though and it is all done and over with! Hopefully he NEVER breaks a leg or a BONE again!

Last weekend we went up to Karri's cabin for the weekend. It was a very lazy, nice relaxing weekend! We played lots of Munckin, ate tons of junk food, played Barbie dream date, and just enjoyed each other's good company!

This was on the way home from Karri's cabin. I LOVE LOVE the FALL leaves! So beautiful!

Us at Karri's cabin.

A couple weeks ago I met Amera and Rachel and there kids at the Spanish Fork park to play for a little bit. Of course Connor just wanted to swing! It was fun!

I love his cast in this one lol.

Here are just some random pictures I have taken of Connor the last couple weeks

Connor LOVES to play the guitar hero drums!

My cute boy wearing his halloween bucket as a hat. Right now he says he wants to be a football player for Halloween and he says he wants to wear a helmet. I still haven't decided so we will see!

Baby Cadence

I AM AN AUNT YAY! I swear most people I know became an aunt way before they became a mom, but not me! Billy and I are both the oldest and I am the oldest by 10 years so definetly going to be a while from that side lol. We are so excited for Aaron and Sarah to be parents, to be an aunt an uncle, and for Connor to have a cousin! Cadence Dahle was born at 6:00 am yesterday. She is 7 lbs 14 oz 20 1/2 inches. Sadly I have not met her yet because I had to work yesterday. Billy and Connor went up though and Billy said that Connor wanted nothing to do with Cadence and just cried the whole time! Hopefully he will warm up to her and it will just take some time. I showed him pictures of her on the computer yesterday and he was so excited. He has been talking about her and saying her name in his prayers for months! So many of my cousins have kids his age and it is so fun, but I am excited for him to have a 1st cousin!

Cute little family. This is Billy's brother Aaron, Sarah, and Baby Cadence.

I love this pic it shows the tender bonding moment between mother and baby from birth!

I LOVE this pic! Isn't she gorgous?! Look at that hair! Love it!
