What a day...

Wow what a day I tell ya. Seriously, who knew sitting on your rear most of the day could take so much out of you? hahaha. Wow I am so ready for this AWESOME weather to pass. Well, we had a pretty pointless and non productive day today but ya know it's okay. OH YES and Tilly is going to start getting potty trained. She was so excited about her big girl pants that she had a pair on her bum, head and a pair in her hands. WOW..she loved them. Tucker of course had to look as cool as his sister so he got a pair of his super hero undies. He was so cute he kept asking me to pull his hair through the holes like Tilly. HAHAHA...what a great way to end the day I tell ya. Maybe tomorrow will be a bit more productive. CROSS YOUR FINGERS!

Dum-da-dum.....

Okay so I took everyone's advice and went and had my hair colored and bangs cut. FUN I love to feel spoiled. hehe So tell me what you think. I had to take these pics myself so they arent the best. AND this is the hairstyle that the hairdresser did. I like it but I don't think I would make it as flat to my head.
So here is the "BEFORE" picture...

And a few of the after...

The wonderful weather in Iowa...

Wasn't yesterdays weather GREAT?! I loved it. Well it's gone...so stop celebrating.

I was a bit curious about the wonderful weather we were going to have today so I looked it up on weather.com This is what I found...

FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!
(I hope you are all sensing the sarcasm)

So yes I am..........

PREGO! Yes, I know that most of you know already but oh well. I am 14 1/2 wks and I was able to go to th doctor today and listen to the heartbeat. I LOVE THAT PART! It is so awesome to actually hear the little ticker working.hehehe. I am really excited about this pregnancy I've been wanting it for a litte while.
So far this has been an okay pregnancy. I was hit hard w/ nausea and fatigue, but I'm doing alot better. I mean...man do I still get tired but the nausea isn't as bad. Okay another thing...I am already having bad heartburn. WHAT THE HECK! Is that normal? I've already downed 8 Tums tonight. It's killin me Smalls. Seriously. So yes there you are...I'm not just fat. Although man it seems like the weight gain is coming on strong. HEHEHE...maybe if I wasn't feeding my face all the time. HAHHAAHA.

To Cut...or Not to Cut...

Okay so I have been debating for a while about getting bangs. I don't know what to do so I am asking all of you. My only concern is that my nose would protrude a bit more than usual and that I will have "big face". So please do give me your honest opinions. Now I really like Katie Holmes bangs...ummm...in fact I like her hair period..but once again do tell me your opinion. PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE!

Happy Birthday and some Christmas..

So important things first. On January 20th my amazing husband celebrated his 28th birthday! So I would like to write a few fabulous facts about him that made me...and make me still fall even more in love with him. Ohhhhhhhh.

1. Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyy! hehehe
2. Beau is just a sincerely nice person to everyone he meets.
3. He is sensitive...but you would only know that if you were very close to him.
4. ANAL...that's all I have to say. (I'd rather have him this way than be a slob)
5. He has the funniest sense of humor.
6. One thing that I admire is that if you ask Beau for a favor he will do it. Without thinking (most of the time) he is quick to say yes I can do it or let me see what I can do.
7. The first thing he does when he gets home from school is wrestle with the kids. THEY LOVE IT! He is the most amazing dad and we love him so much.
8. Beau still to this day is always trying to do little suprises or let me sleep in just to show me how much he loves me. I feel more spoiled now than I did when we were dating. What a lucky girl I am.
9. He is a worthy priesthood holder and is always trying to becomea better person.
10. What an amazing athlete. Yep he is. He is very atletic and loves the BO-SOX.

Well there are sooooo many more things I could say. Pretty much I am married to such a magnificent person. He really truly is just amazing to me. I am so blessed to have been able to be sealed to my best friend for time and all eternity. I love you babe!

****NOW the few pictures we have from Christmas. Real pathetic I know. We had our camera the night before Christmas but then we lost it and then I found it the day I left to come back to Iowa. Nice. hahaha


So the two above pictures are of Tucker and Tily in their Christmas aprons. Christmas eve all 10 (with three on the way) grandkids on my side decorated sugar cookies in their new christmas aprons from Grannie.
We actually had a blast during Christmas it was so nice to see both families and spend quality time with them.


These two pictures are at the airport in Denver. Saying goodbye is always hard. Although when you are getting searched because you have a small metal toy gun in your purse it kind of helps you take your mind off goodbyes. I know we sucked with the pictures but honestly we lost our camera and then I thought beau took it home until I found it the night before I went home. Lame but at least we have the few memories we have.

Oh the JOY!

*****Warning this is not a positive post*****

Well, I don't know about all of you but the week you come back from vacation is QUITE the adjustment! I have been sooo bored since I got back. Just having to get back into being alone most of the day is hard. I've noticed that I watch the clock like crazy waiting for 5 or 6 to come around so I can go and pick up Beau. I know sad huh? It's not like I don't have things to do....I just get bored with it. Siiiiiiiiigh. Oh well, Just needed to vent.
p.s. THIS WEATHER IS NOT HELPING!
p.s.s. or p.p.s. I know it is one of those. Anyways I know I totally should have posted picutres but they are upstairs and I didn't want to run upstairs for them. Yep LAAAAAZY!

WOW...All I can say is AH-MAZING!

This has to be one of the BEST movies that I have seen in a long time. Talk about TEAR JERKER! I was full on blubbering during and AFTER the show! This was such a beautiful show. I was lucky because I got to go with my mom and sister to it. WOW..we were talking about it the next day. So....what I am trying to say is... GO AND SEE THIS if you haven't yet. I promise you will love it.
I am going to be posting some pictures when I get back to Iowa, which isn't until the 18th so sorry it's been a while!
