Thanksgiving!



I am so glad the holidays are here! We got to take a break from work and go to Rexburg for Thanksgiving to see my family. We are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for! We crammed the weekend with lots of fun stuff. We went shopping on Black Friday, had lots of food and treats, and went to a movie, had family pictures, and played games. My mom had decorated for Christmas already and her house looked so cute. I love going home!


Abby also got a new dog, Bentley. Yes, they are once again attempting to have a dog. Although we have been called the "Pet Cemetary" for years now, this dog does live inside (which is a first!) and I think will live a little longer than the pets in the past. And he is SOOO cute. And thats coming from me who is not a huge animal lover. As much as animal droppings and hair gross me out, I love seeing Tylers face when he sees a dog. In a way its like he sees me but in dog form. He loves them so much that I may have to give in..

It was quite an ordeal but Tyler and Shawn did finally get up the icicle lights! It only took almost all day and night on Saturday night but they sure did a good job. They also got brownie points for standing in line at WalMart at 4 am for us in Rexburg while we hit the shops in Idaho Falls. They got everything on their list! I have the best husband. It is so nice having Shawn around so Tyler doesnt go girl crazy.

Friday night we went out to Olive Garden and the movie The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock. It was a good movie for anyone who hasnt seen it!
We also got some cute family pics that I will have to post when we get them.
I think my sisters were a little dispointed in my little belly but they are so excited and will be the best aunts. Abby had been texting me for days.. I cant wait to see your belly! Unfortunately it wasnt too big yet but it seems to be growing about an inch every day now it feels like. People are actually starting to notice it poking out so im hoping to be getting out of the awkward just looking like a chubby belly stage. I cant believe tomorrow I will be on week 20! It is going by pretty fast. I cant believe I'm half way there. The other day Susan (Tylers Mom) actually sent us our first little girl outfit!! It was so wierd it just hit us, wow we are actually having a little girl. It is the cutest tiniest outfit. Thanks Susan!

I need to jump back a few weeks and put a few pics from our trip to Colorado. Eric and Hannah were in the Wizard of Oz play so we drove down to see it. It was so good! I was impressed with how good they both were. Eric was the cowardly lion and Hannah was a singing tree and a munchkin.

We are so glad we have such good families and friends to hang out with! I am also sooo grateful for my cute husband. We really are best friends and everyday I love him more and more.

We are going to be packing up this weekend and the plan is to be moving on Tuesday! I am so excited and will post some pictures once we get settled in. Hopefully we will be able to get internet soon!

That's crazy! We were up at my mom's place for Thanksgiving, a half hour north of Rexburg. We went to the Rex to watch The Blind Side, go bowling and Madison hit the shops on Black Friday. Amazing we didn't run into you.

I think you should get Tyler a dog. If not, he might start trying to scratch your tummy or behind the ears. :)

Let me know if you need help moving. I'd be happy to come down there and help.

Hi there. It looks you had a great Thanksgiving. What a cute dog. Tyler needs one. Did you get a house? if yes, that's exciting.

You are still so tiny jaim, I didn't even think you had hit that "chubby" stage yet! haha Maybe you'll just skip it. I can't believe you are pretty much 20 weeks. That's funny that Abby was probably expecting a round old belly. Cute pics!
