Some more pics...

THis is what happened in a matter of 45 minutes. We were covered and then..... the lights went out along with everything else. so Brody and I played in his room... well I ate pickles, cheese and ham and brody played. It was fun. I am just glad I didn't get stuck in it. About 2 hours later the lights came on. YEAH!!!

Our Messy Kitchen. It makes me feel like i am going to have to cook.

Master Bath!! Like my tummy

A Wonderful Man.

I just wanted to say how much this man means to me. He is such a great example to follow. His life was his family and faith. I feel for his family, but i am sure that they are comforted to know that he will be with his wife, whom he loved so much. He has such a strong testimony and has helped strengthen mine. He will be severly missed.

Finally we are in!!!

Well Yesterday was the day. We moved in. It was a long day but we had really good help. Brody is doing very well and he loves his "big boy room and bed" He did pretty good through the night until about 5 am. I think the wind was blowing so hard that I think it scared him.

We thought that we had better get some blinds on. so that the whole neighborhood couldn't see our mess. Brody thought he would be helpful too.

The bathroom is the only room that is somewhat put together.

I know it is a mess but at least we have started. I am so glad that we moved in yesterday. It was perfect weather... NoT TOdAY.. The wind is blowing like crazy and freezing cold.

Potential Future HOOKUP???

Well here it is, a pregnant pic of me. I swore no matter what i wasn't going to post one but look how cute Kamdyn and Brody are. I don't know why but brody has been doing this "I'm not smiling." thing. It drives me crazy. Yeah here i am 31 weeks pregnant. I wish it was over. Suck it up cass they say from here out you gain a pound a week... here we go.

There is nothing like Daddy and snow.

Since Blake has been gone weekly, when he comes home Brody wants his complete attention. I can't complain, it gives me a moments time to breathe. but i just love this picture. It is worth a million words.

Can you believe this picture??? This is in Duck Creek. In one storm about 5 years ago they got 14 feet. Blake's aunt couldn't even get out of their house. They had to let the dogs out of the kitchen window to go the bathroom. They haven't had a storm for like two weeks. So you can imagine how much has melted. Duck Creek is 45 min east of Cedar. Crazy.

This is Brody's friend Sierra. She makes him nervous at first because she likes to give so many kisses. Brody loves spending time with her. If I let him Brody would be out there all day. Not to mention that in this pic he is sick. You would never guess. Snow will cure anything to a two year old.

Some things just aren't worth fighting.

Any mother can appriciate this. On our daily trip to Walmart (i swear) Brody decided that he wanted to take the spatula out of the kitchen drawer and take him with us. After trying to convince him in the car that he didn't need it I gave up and in the spatula went. When we first walked through the doors the lady asked if I was returning it. Feeling kind of dumb, I told her "no. I am just letting him have it to keep him happy." She put a green dot on it, (which made Brody feel like it was even cooler to have it) and we did our shopping. This battle just wasn't worth fighting. I am sure that tomorrow it will be something different. I can't wait to see what it will be...

Brody and cousin Addy on the four wheeler.
I don't know why brody didn't want to smile. maybe
because he had to share the four wheeler.

Snow... Snow... Snow

xmas day in cove

This is brody and his daddy 4 wheelin in Cove, xmas day!!

We finally got a home!!

When we got back from Logan we went through a house and ended up liking it. We made an offer and they excepted. FINALLY. I was getting worried that we would never find something. I don't know when we will get in but at least we are getting there. YEAH

What a Christmas!!

Wow... I don't even know where to begin. We headed up to logan on the 22nd. The weather was perfect so no worries there. Sunday we just hung out with the family and relaxed. Brody is having a hard time with his daddy being gone so it was nice for them to hang out. Xmas eve we went to the Butterfield xmas party and then we came home that is when the fun began. Brody wanted his sippy cup so i went out to the truck to get it. As i was coming in the house through the garage i decided to take off my shoes. Why?? I don't know. I successfully got one off, and as i stepped back I fell. I fell down 7 concrete stairs. Mind you I am 7 months pregnant. As soon as i realized that i had fallen I jumped up and hobbled up the stairs inside. I was kind of out of it and in pain and I ran into my mom-in-law first. Of course she freaked out which made me cry harder. I sat down and tried to take it in. It ended up that i had broken my toe and everything else was bruised. I got lucky and fell on my side so that was good.
anyway... We woke the next morning and met everyone upstairs. Blake's sister and husband and new little Mason were already up there. Brody was out of it but he managed to open his stocking in Blake's arms. Once everyone was downstairs and breakfast was out of the way we opened the rest. At 10:00 we had to call Blake's brother Cole, who is on a mission in Brazil. It was good to talk to him. He is coming home in July. Then we went up to the allens... More presents for brody. He was very spoiled. I didn't think that we were going to be able to get it all home.
Blake took the whole rest of the week off and just spent it with us. It was the best time i have had. We just took it easy and ended up coming home next Sunday.
