It's a wonderful life!

Just a thought....

Today as Carter and I were saying prayers over our lunch, I asked the Lord to help us always remember the things that we have. As I said this, I felt relief. I felt that no matter what trials or struggles we may face, we have so much more than that! After lunch and on our way upstairs for nap time, I sneezed...and in Carter's cute little non- enunciated voice, he said "Ess u" (bless you).
I have been blessed with so many wonderful things in life, especially a wonderful husband, son and another soon to be! Today is great day! Even though it is 45 degrees outside today and rainy.... it's a beautiful day!

Happy Spring!!!

It has been a while, but sadly enough I have not taken tons of pictures in the past month and a half. I need to get better at that! Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to...

After a pretty rain, a pretty spring rainbow in our backyard!!!

When I was 16 or so, I got a hammock for my bday, and we finally set it up in the backyard these past few weeks. Here are my three nieces enjoying a Sunday swing!!!

Smile! Pudding anyone?

We had a get together with some friends awhile ago and I thought I would post some pictures (why is this underlined!!! Sometimes I HATE posting because I wanna throw the computer out the walL!!!_) Anyways :) We did a fun spin off of Minute to Win it! It was a blast. Most of what we have is in video format....I will post those when I can, but here are some pictures.
Above is wrapping yourselves in a whole roll of Toilet paper without breaking the paper.

Here, ya gotta pull out an entire box of tissues one by one using one hand.

Here, we had to get three oreos from our forehead to our mouth using only our face!!!
It was a whole lot of fun. We miss all our boise friends since we moved, but love getting together with them when we can!!!

EASTER!!!!!

Good morning!!!!

Breakfast with Jaromy's parents.

I didn't get any pictures of dinner with my family, except for a few of Carter doing the Easter egg hunt. Here he is....he found one!!!


AND.... HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY!!! This is a day late, but I wanted to say Happy Mother's day to all the mothers out there- especially to mine. I am so blessed to have the mom that I do! She cares, nurtures and will do anything for anyone out there... especially her children. She is amazing! Being a mother is truly the greatest blessing in the world! I am so thankful to be a mother and to have the wonderful little boy that I do. I can't wait to have another little boy around.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

So, yesterday was our 3 year anniversary. It was wonderful. Jaromy was able to come home early from work, go grocery shopping, kick me out of the kitchen (actually- I was banned from the downstairs) as he made me dinner. Once dinner was in the oven, we dropped Carter off at Nana and Papa's while we went home and had a romantic candlelight dinner. He made me homemade Chicken Cour Don Bleu. It was delicious. Who knew that I married a man that could cook. I told him that from now on, he is doing the cooking. :) After dinner, we went on a walk along the green belt. It was beautiful. We used to walk along the same green belt when we were dating. It has been a great 3 years and I feel like such a lucky woman to have such a wonderful Man!!!

We are having A BOY!!!!!

We are very excited to have another little boy. Now we will have two little boys who (hopefully) can be good playmates! No names yet, but hopefully this will be taken care of before we go to the hospital this time. :) Warning.... This video is about 5 min. I didn't know how to cut just a short clip. Sorry!

These are my two newest projects. (apologies for the coloring of the bottom picture) The first picture is for Carter's new room and his big boy bed when that happens this summer. I finished it today. The bottom picture is a tie quilt I made of all the old t-shirts from way back when. I think the oldest is from 4th grade! :) I seem to want to sew a lot lately.... Any suggestions? Sometimes I feel the need to be creative, but don't feel creative.

This post was very random- a lot of catch up! Hopefully it doesn't take me another month to post again!

New Computer.... means PICTURES!

So, I can't fully blame the lack of pictures on the computer. I will give it 33% of the blame. 33% of the blame goes to my camera (because the battery dies every 3rd picture you take) and 33.9% to me. Sometimes, I am just horrible at taking pictures. I have friends out there who take great pictures and always seem to catch their kids, families or whatever it is in the best moment. I, sadly did not attain the gift. I have noticed that it has been quite a while since I have posted anything. Not too much has happened since November. Christmas, of course, but I dont think I have any pictures (the battery died that day!- this one wasn't my fault!). Here are some random shots from the past few months.

Jaromy's mom's bday was on thanksgiving day. A few days before I offered to make her a scrumptious birthday dinner- since we weren't going to be seeing them on thanksgiving. Little did I know that she wanted Salmon. For those of you that dont know, I don't like fish. It smells bad, feels weird (hence the gloves) and tastes like grossness. I didnt mind cooking it though, I just felt bad for those that had to eat it, since I didn't really know what I was doing. I was told, it turned out good! YAY!

Layne and Lindsey along with 3 beautiful boys surprised the family Thanksgiving day by showing up from PHX!!! Jaromy and I were the only ones who knew, since they were planning of staying with us. It was so fun to see them and have them here for Thanksgiving!

The fam went sledding on one of the few snowy days that allowed us to do so! Carter loved it!

Carter's first day in the snow.

Carter will now grab all of the pots and pans out of the cupboard and line them up on the stove, wanting to help with dinner despite what time of the day it is.

Just a cute little picture of Carter looking at his sticker book.

New Arrival Coming 8/9/10

Hello! It has been quite awhile since i have posted. Mainly because I hate our computer and the long process it takes to upload pictures.... but not to worry, we should be getting a new computer in about 1 week! Then, pictures will follow. But since i dont have pictures to share... I still thought I would share our exciting news. We are having another Baby! YAY! We will find out in 4 weeks if the little pea pod is a boy or girl! I will keep ya posted!

Family Pictures

Here's a few pics of the last two months. In no order, whatsoever!!!

Ape and her family came into town to work on Steph's addition... here is a snapshot of all the kids playing in the backyard!


Our attempt at a family shot while taking the picture ourselves.

JAROMY TURNS 25!!!
We had a great night. We celebrated with dinner and a movie. Then a party with the family later in the week.

VALERIE IS OLD!!!!
We also had fun. We went to dinner.

So, we went to the BSU game against....someone. Can't remember. but it was really good and this lovely couple stood in line for our tickets and our seats! THANKS JJ and Jess.

I dont' know what either one of these pictures is about (up and Down).
But funny!

Just catching up on some reading while Mom and Dad tote me around in the car.

So, I do love this picture of Carter, but more of Jack. What a ham!!!

First Hair cut....only evened out the back. Dont worry, I didn't cut any curl off!!!

Ward Campout... in July! Carter loved the boat.
