Christmas Morning...

On Christmas Morning we awoke to all of the gifts that we had bought for the family and to our surprise Santa stopped by... I was hoping we were on the good list this year. :P I love having my own little family to share these special moments with. I loved being able to stay home all day. It was so relaxing.
My Pink Christmas gift arrived Christmas eve... and I couldn't resist... so I opened the package. I was so excited that it was wrapped, because then I waited till morning to open the gift. But I wanted to open right then and there.

The Pink Christmas gift was matching handmade scarfs for Aubrey and I. I love them. I have already gotten lots of use out of them. Not to mention the colors. Just my style. There was also a tiara picture, (sorry no pic yet).

My big gift from my honey... A Circut!!!! I was so excited. I love him so much. He always things of the best things. I love him. And Aubrey gave me the tool kit to go with it.

Aubrey got a table and chair set that is just her size. She has used it for everything since.

No such a hot picture... but she is opening her Cabbage Patch doll that she got as well.

There isn't a picture, but Don got the Sacred Grove poster framed... he has had the poster since before his mission. He also got much needed clothes.

All in all our Christmas was great... and it isn't over yet. We are celebrating with my family tomorrow.

Christmas Continued...

On Wednesday Evening we went and celebrated Christmas with Don's family. We all had a great time. I love all of the nativity scenes that Paula has. She has them everywhere in every shape size, wood, plastic, fabric... I think you get the picture. But I love how she has so many. We missed having Don'e Uncle Frank and Aunt Tammy, and Grandma, but we had them in our hearts.
Here is Aubrey playing with one of her wood nativity scenes.

Aubrey opening one of her many outfits that she got from the in-laws.

I just love Aubrey's face in this picture. She is getting so good to be witht he in-laws now.

Aubrey's favorite gift of the evening, her doodle board. She actually threw the biggest fit I have seen her throw in lets say forever!!! It was hilarious.

Our Christmas...

Merry Christmas to all. I hope you all had a safe and wonderful holiday. A little of what we have done to pass the time and celebrate the holidays are listed below.

On Tuesday the 23rd we went to Midway to go sledding with Don's family. It was fun what I got to do. I loved sitting and talking with Louie Mae, (Don's Grandmother, the one we are getting the house from). It was nice to sit back without a lot of commotion and celebrate with her in her own special way. I don't know that she knows of our blog, but I do hope that she knows how much we love her and are glad that she is still around. There are pictures of Don and Aubrey sledding up in Soldier Hollow. From what I hear and see she had a blast. I loved getting her all ready for the new adventure.
This is Aubrey pulling her own tube.

Don pulling Aubrey on the kiddie hill. If you were 3 and under you couldn't go on the big hill.

Her loving the new experience. I love that adorable face.

Aubrey was tired and just kind of collapsed on the couch on Christmas Eve.

Aubrey was taking handfuls of popcorn and literally shoving her fist into Don's mouth to feed him... it was hilarious.

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays.

CRAZY!!!

So I am kind of saddened at this moment. I am realizing that we are leaving the best place that we have lived yet, in only two weeks... right after Christmas. I have loved living in our place that we call home. It is still an apartment, but it has never been that for me. This is the first place that we have lived that I have not said... back at the apartment... I have always said back at home. I am glad this year has brought so many new opportunities for our family and am glad that we are getting into a home. I know so many people that wait so many more years than us to get something that we are being handed on a platter pretty much... don't get me wrong it isn't free by any means, but at least we are helping out our family and they are looking out for us.

The most wonderful thing is that we are planning on being in the new house for a long LONG time. We aren't moving anymore... for at least 10 years. And all of the memories that we have in our other places will still be there, but we will be able to make so many more at our new place.

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and take a moment no matter where you are to stop and smell the roses. There is nothing better than creating and keeping memories.

Good News?

It has been quite a while since I last posted, but there really hasn't been all that much too post about... just crowds, traffic and near death experiences... Ok not really. But anyway. I went to the doctors on Monday and had an ultrasound to see what was going on. We thought that by now I would be 8 weeks... I am only 6 so we couldn't see anything besides a round black dot. Which is better than nothing at all. So we have another couple of weeks before we really find out anything. We have waited this long, what is two more weeks? :P

We also had family pictures taken last Saturday. I am way excited I get the CD today and then I will post some.

We are just getting ready for the holidays and hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday. We love you all. Happy Holidays!

The Results...


So now that I have confused many of you... I can tell you what this was all about. We are pregnant!!!! I seriously can't believe it. I am still in shock. We have kind of know since last Saturday, but was cautious of telling people because we have been having problems for a while now. So I went to the doctors on Monday and they thought I was there for a 21 day test, when I was there for a prego test. When they called and said it was positive, they said it was for ovulation not for a positive on pregnancy. I was so bummed. I just needed the confirmation of the doctors to know a for sure. So anyway we are expecting #2! YAY!!! I am only delighted to the fullest of my ability that we are adding to our family.

Stupid Doctors...

So I really can't say this enough... Doctors don't like to listen to their patients! I just got a call with my test results and they were... positive for what they tested for... not what I asked them to test for. So back to the drawing board and two days more of waiting. URGH!!!

Time Check...

Ok so time is going fast until I look at the clock... I can't wait for it to be 2. I get to go home. Time though today is a double standard. I am waiting for my test results... I called him earlier this morning and they told me that they had the results but that he hasn't signed off on them so I don't get to know. They told me they would try to call me back before lunch, but no such luck as of yet. Jest seriously look at the results... sign them off... and give me a call telling me if it is good or bad news. I would really just love to know for sure what is happening with me. I hope the day is going better for everyone. Hopefully I will know sooner rather than later. I don't know if my mind can take it till 5 or 6. Please just call me soon! Happy days everyone!
