My What?

So we're going to (cross your fingers) find out what the baby "is" on the 13th of December, but just to keep me busy till the big day--I'm going crazy. Too much to do, yet nothing to do at the same time. Tyler helped me finish sanding down the old dresser my parents gave us--that's one check--but now I need to paint it. Any ideas? I was thinking white and then making the doors 'grass green', plus I found these snail handles on sale super cheap, but now I'm not so sure. I need help!
And with the Holidays fast approaching I am once again reminded of how much I HATE money. Oh well, I have what really matters right? A wonderful husband and a baby on the way. I guess I'm just the mood to complain. SNAP OUT OF IT! I swear I'll do my best not to mention $$ again, it's just too depressing. (Unless I go on "THE PRICE IS RIGHT", then you're all gonna hear about it.)
In a subject no way related....I was looking up some old friends on myspace the other day and I decided that I don't really like myspace that much. It's just 500 quizzes right after each other and an excuse for once semi-logical people to post half naked pictures of themselves. Yuck! PLUS= They all look the same. I'm talking the pages and the people. If I had to describe it in one word it would be "Disappointing". BUT, I do love seeing what old friends are up to these days, even if they only update the darn things once every six months. In summary, I wish they all did more posting with less quizzing and drinking. The End.

I swear I can talk about other things too......

On Tuesday I had my second doctor's appointment. I'm really glad that Tyler has been able to go to both my appointments so far. We got to year the baby's HEARTBEAT!!!! It was kind of a woosh woosh sound, like the baby's is jogging around in there. It was so exciting. The doctor I've been going to is really nice and she said everything sounded fine and right on track. My due date is no longer in April but is now May 1st, one day before my Mom's birthday--she has absolutely no problem with that! Tuesday was also my official 12 week mark, which means I should be starting to get over all the icky parts of early pregnancy. I haven't really noticed a change, I'm still tired all the time and very restless at night. Luckily, I haven't been experiencing much morning sickness. When I do throw-up it is always really sudden (no more raisins for me!). My only real consistent craving has been for cream cheese, although earlier today I had a NEED for Stove Top Stuffing. Tyler has been really great about everything, he has absolutely no problem running out to the store, doing the laundry or anything else he can to help at a moments notice.
Today has been pretty basic so far. I took care of Alana next door for most of it, ate some stuffing (thanks Ty!). School is going well: took a bio test on Wednesday and got an Art and a PoliSci test back (A+ thank myself very much!). Life is good.

Summer Pictures

So I'm upstairs and just found a wealth of photo's from this last summer. I still want to post some more but I figure this is a good start.... (they're even in chronological order, ooOOOoo)


Two love birds (plus her entire family) at the "Honeymoon Capital of the World." I kept a bunch of those blue ponchos to shred up and knit a bag out of.


BAM! Heeeerrrrreeee's NIAGRA! Niagra falls was absolutely enormous. Honestly, I'd expected it to be abit of a let down but this waterfall does not disapoint.


Eating lunch in Niagra City, Canada. This place is like a mini Las Vegas. Crazy. Don't be fooled by those smiling faces it would end up taking over an hour for us to get our food and it wasn't even that good.


4th of July on my Dad's boat. We went out to San Diego Bay and were literally right underneath all of the fireworks. I loved it!


Again- 4th of July. That's Karly on the left trying to read by little side lights on the boat.


Awww. Our puppy Georgia. She's a little big bigger now, but still just a darn cute. eg: she still looks like a puppy dog.


Tyler, me, Karly with my hand for a head, Kloe and Kody's back marveling at the world's largest living organisim durring the "lake trip" in August.


This is most of my family sans Kerin and Kassey, with our neighbors at the Newport Beach Temple open house. Nope, we're not standing in front of the temple.

There are no words

Alright I can barely hold it in any more!! You got me! I'm PREGNANT!
That's right you heard me, I'm pregnant.
Whew! does that feel good. I've been avoiding my blog like the plague. I knew I wouldn't be able to resist such a broad forum for releasing the news. So now feel free to let the congratulations just pour in. Go ahead you know you want to.
The baby's due date is April 28, 2006. I've got NO idea as to the baby's sex as of yet and no idea when I will know. There is this nifty little blood test they can do now with the mother's blood really early to find out, but it costs a hefty sum- about $300. So, if people feel like donating to a worthy cause.... j/k. Tyler and I couldn't be happier about our impending arrival! I'm so EXCITED! Thankfully I haven't had any morning sickness yet but my body just generally feels like crap and I'm tired all the time. Yesterday I took a three hour nap and still didn't have too much trouble getting to bed that night!
In other news, Kloe turned eight on Wednesday. Her baptism is tomorrow and she asked me to give a talk at it. I'm a little nervous, but considering that I spoke in Sacrament last week, (my first REAL adult/introduction-to-the-ward-talk) I'm feeling relatively confident.
Apparently Tyler has become a little local celebrity. Check out this link= http://www.sandiego.edu/business/index.php?areaid=11&newsid=121
We're all very proud....

Back in the USSR

I'm back down in sunny so cal...for once. Ty and I were gone for about 3 weeks on a vaca. We drove clear up to his parent's house in Seattle from the far end of the U.S. of A. in one day! They invited us along for the somewhat annual trip out to the Washington coast along with the rest of the family. It was really neat- completely different from any coast I've ever been to before in my life. There isn't in rythm to the way the waves break, about 7 are breaking all at the same time, constantly. It was nice to relax.
After "The Ocean" we spent another week chilln' at Jim and Karen's (got our car fixed), then drove down to Angel's Camp, CA to meet up with my family for their "Lake Trip". We spent alot of time on the boat and checked out the old local mining towns. I had no problem getting up on a wakeboard and was FINALLY able to get up on a single ski!!! A little background- I've been trying to get up on a single for AGES! Good trips all around.
But as I said now we're back, roasting s'mores and eating chilli dogs. It's a good life.
