New Pictures

I still don't know how to put the movie on here, but here are some of the most recent pictures!

More pictures and a DVD

Ok, so we had the real 20 week dr's appointment with the big utrasound and got more pictures and a DVD... Unfortunately our computer has a fan that isn't working properly and cannot be used until fixed... So we are borrowing Gerry's laptop tonight and Jake will scan the pictures tomorrow on Gerry's scanner, so then you will all get to see the cuteness that is our baby!

Until then - everything is perfect!

It's a...

Boy!

The picture that is labeled face, is kind of creepy I think... But he's laying on his side or stomach or something, I can't tell... But everything is good, he doesn't have a hole in his head.

Its so nice to be able to say he.

Brooke's Graduation

Well its been a couple weeks now but on May 3, 2008 Brooke graduated with her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. We got to go down to Cedar City and St. George for a couple days to be at the graduation and to celebrate with her!

Here are some pictures from the graduation!



We are very proud of her and a bit jealous that at 20 she has her bachelors... Early college high school would have been nice.

whrwhrwhrwhr

What an awesome sound. We had another doctor's appointment this week, everything is going great! We will have the gender check in 2 weeks and then some new pictures! All we got this Wednesday was to hear the heart beat, but that was enough for me. I am so excited and way less sick feeling. I am kind of an emotional monster some of the time though. I get really ticked off really easily. Unfortunately it seems to only trigger the urge to cry... Very annoying.

Its crazy even though I have only gained about 3 pounds none of my pants fit, everything feels tight and uncomfortable, so I am on a mission to find cute maternity clothes, its hard because all the stores are between seasons. Totally annoying. I have like 1 pair of pants that work... Hopefully I will find some more today.

I forgot to post about my broken window. So last Thursday was supposed to be my appointment, and I was on my way after doing inventory at work and then going to breakfast. I was going north on Bangerter and between 90th (where the doctor is) and 98th about half way something, I don't know what hits my window, my driver's side window and shattered it, in on me... I feel very blessed that it was a cold wet day because I had a jacket on so no cuts there and I also am so blessed that I wear glasses, because I am pretty sure I would have gotten glass in my eyes otherwise. So the government's economic stimulus money came just in time to replace my window... It was scary, I had to reschedule my dr's appointment (apparently).

Finished basement - Finally

Here we go, I finally got it cleaned up enough to take some pictures, its not perfect but yeah!

First Doctor's appointment

Everything is great!!! We are due October 26th as of now. I am so excited!!! It was awesome to go and have my first ultrasound done and to see and hear the baby, it was moving around and its little heart was just pounding away! Everything is going great from what we know!!!

Here's the pictures! The head is on the left.



Here's the heart it was beating at 169 which is perfect!

Coupons... And money saving tips...

Ok, so now that I have a kitched again and a baby on the way I need to learn how to not just be frugal but really cheap, a penny pinching, tightwad. I have clipped the coupons from Sunday's paper and have been told about a couple websites (coupons.com & savvyshopper.com) to find coupons from. I work at Smith's so I can get the ad for the week, and try to plan accordingly. But thats as far as I have gotten in the money saving, smart planning, menu making ways.

I need some help.

I would love some tips from all of you savvy shoppers and busy mom's or even just full time workers, I need to save time and cook at home but where do you find the time to do it? Let alone plan it out.

I wish I could to the neighborhood meal thing like the Hicken's but I don't have friends that live close enough by to make that work... So I am on my own...
Please any suggestions would be awesome!!!

(And Corrine - according to Hillary I need to go shopping and planning with you, she said you are the best around!)

SOLD - Oversized Pillow-Backed Couch and Loveseat Set for Sale

SOLD

Price: $250

*Sorry Becky, I would have prefered selling them to you, but we sold them last night at like 10:00.

Couch Dimentions: 97" (8'1") Long X 39" Deep X 30" Tall
Loveseat Dimentions: 60" (5') Long X 39" Deep X 30" Tall
7 Large Pillows
2 Small Pillows
1 Long Pillow


We are pained to get rid of this couch, but it won't fit into the basement we live in. The couch seats 4 comfortably and is long enough to lay down on. The loveseat fits 2 pretty snugly (its more of a chair and a half) But it is way comfy to lounge in and relax.

Both are in good condition, they are a few years old so they aren't perfect but we have taken great care of them. We do not smoke, have cats or dogs, nor any kids. Since the couch won't fit into the basement it is in the garage right now but it is clean and dry and there are no bugs.

The tones (as seen in the pictures) are light creamy and have accents that vary to a brownish tan. They are very neutral. All of the pillows have the two different tones, and are reversable (both patterns are shown in the pictures).
