Update on Pregnancy

I am currently 26 weeks along.  Things have been going good. I am feeling strong. Every so often my feet will hurt or my back, but nothing too major. I now have less than 100 days left. I can't believe it. The time just keeps going by. Soon it will be christmas, then my birthday, then Brady comes home from his mission in North Carolina, and then I am due. I can't wait for this little girl to join our family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We have so many things to be thankful for. My life is truly blessed. I have an amazing husband that puts up with me and my craziness, and a beautiful little boy that can make anyone smile. Josh and I both have amazing families that we came from and couldn't even express how thankful we are for our parents and their amazing example to us. We have 4 amazing brothers serving missions for our church right now. We couldn't be more proud of their examples. We love our families and are so thankful for each and everyone of our siblings, in laws, nieces, nephews, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  We are richly blessed every day. We would not be who or where we are today if it wasn't for The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last Weeks Project

Since I haven't been working I have had all these projects I have wanted both Josh and I to get done. It has been SO NICE having so much more time together as a family.  This last project we did was Josh built shelves for our garage. I hate having everything on the ground, so I was so glad to get it all up high and out of the way. I think he did a wonderful job. It definitely was a job and it took a day and a half to get all measured and built, but it was worth it. My husband is the best! He can build anything and do anything.

My project for this past week

This past week I had the urge to paint something. So since only two rooms in our house have been painted so far I decided to take on the next room. I decided the dinning room needed a little spicing up. It took me forever to pick the right colors but Josh and I are very happy with the outcome.

Before we added paint to the walls. Very boring if you ask me.

Payton just loved being my big helper.

We choose the brown on the left not the right.

The green all finished

The brown and green all finished

The finished product. We couldn't be more happy with it. I just need to add another color with a table cloth and that room will be complete.

The PERFECT Christmas Gift for every Man/Boy

These are the best things ever. My awesome brother-in-law sells these Neck Ties. They are great quality and a great price. Everyone, man or boy needs one. Josh and Payton wear them every Sunday to church. I think they look so cute in them. You can buy matching kid and adult ties or buy different ones for each. They are all the same price $12.99. The thing I like the most is that the kids ties can fit them from 1 years old till they are 10 or 12 years old depending on the size of the kid. Also the kids ties are like adult ties you have you tie them. I know if Payton wears the zip kind, or the clip kind, or the velcro kind he can take them off easily, but with these ones he loves them and wears them the whole time. I am the one that makes him take it off after church so he doesn't get it all dirty. If you would like to order some, or if you are just curious what they look like or how many he has check out the website.

Pumpkin Patch and Halloween

This year we went to the pumpkin patch by our house. We had a great time. Payton mostly loved the animals. He even got to feed them. We went to trunk or treat at our church on Friday and went trick or treating on Saturday. Payton mostly just loved shooting his guns. He was a real trooper and we were very proud of him. He is just getting so big. He of course figured out that if he said trick or treat he would get candy. He had a long day and was definitly done by the time we finished.

Payton, Ryan, and Nicholas

We were all pretty tired to begin the night in the first place.
