Life is moving right along as to be expected. We have received mounds of snow and have braved awful winter driving to get to Idaho and back. Thanksgiving came and went (even without seeing my parents since Lu kept them all to herself)this year but it still included yummy food, family and way too much football watching! You would think that I could be Santa this year with my massive belly but none the less..I still have 9 weeks more to go to get even bigger!! But I am pretty excited to be down to single digits in weeks. Nick also likes to remind me EVERY day that my stomach is HUGE. We also are still thinking of names to call this little one that likes to kick/punch me ALL the time!! I still find it rather weird/creepy to sit and watch my stomach move all over the place. But back to the names, I of course have lots of names that I like but my dearest husband is pretty stubborn and keeps threatening me about changing it at the blessing! Top 5 are: Landon, Ryan, Spencer, Will, and Jackson. Any takers on any of those?


The newest niece on the Ramsey side..(Kylee Jo) she was 5 days old in this picture and Nick was just loving on her the whole time we were home!! She is a pretty cute baby...

AND... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MOMMA WALL TODAY!!!

Halloween!

Halloween Party #1
We decided to go to our ward party this year and it was really fun to see all the different costumes..and we had yummy bread bowls w/soup!! AND! We won the "Scariest Costume Award"! It was great..and it was a scary costume.







Halloween Party #2
We were invited to a Murder Mystery dinner and it was our first one so we weren't sure how they went but it was really fun and we had good food there too!

of the most random posts..

well..not much else to say after that last post eh!? Ya I would have to say I would still be in denial of it myself if my belly wasn't expanding as it is..(sorry folks..no pictures of that!) But..I would like to let you all know that I have been diagnosed with momnesia..yes it is very similar to amnesia but this happens to you when you become a mom..or almost a mom! If you have experienced any of the following you may want to go get checked as well.. to name a few..left my purse in the shopping cart and started to drive away. lost my phone..more than once but today was the best since it was in the parking lot for more than 5 hours and didn't get ran over! it's never a question of what time it is..its always bedtime, forgot to put on mascara/eyeliner/and who knows what else. can't remember where i put anything. those are just a few of the symptoms of mom-nesia. And a happier note..Nick and I had the opportunity of gutting..(is that a word)? yes gutting our dryer. and putting it back together more than once to get rid of this annoying squeaky noise! it took more than 4 hours..to say the least it's fixed for the time being! Oh! I decided to include a couple pictures from the summer since I never did put them up before..due to mom-nesia but just have to since they are a must..oh and usu beat byu!




the dryer..never seen anything like it..


and here they are..they may live hundreds of miles apart but they are still twins..


my crazy niece going down this massive slide w/nick..look at that hair!!


friends enjoying their team getting beat!! (hey..we only win every 17 years..so it's okay to be a little excited)

finally...something worth posting!!!

Yep...
It's a boy...
Due February 6th...
Here he is...



Sure hope his looks improve from this picture...

Oh Family!!

Here is my dearest family..a pic where everyone is there..a pic that we haven't had in over 6 years.. a pic i love more than anything..even if some of the kids aren't looking or smiling! what a good lookin family!!

A little bit of everything...

It has been a long time since I've posted anything good so hopefully I can throw a few pics together and fill up some space with my rambling. The summer is just rolling by and Nick hasn't had much to enjoy of it!He has been working a lot..I on the other hand have been able to go to Idaho a couple times and hang out with family. I went home for Memorial Day and 4th of July and a couple siblings were there so we had a good time fishing and going to the parade and playing outside! Nick and I were able to go to some friend's and have a barbecue at their new house! We played this fun dance game on their Wii and boy we got some good videos of that...we won't be putting any up though. We did get a chance to sneak away for one day..but it was still a day to hang out with his family at Bear Lake! It was a beautiful day and our burnt skin is still feeling it! We hope it will recover fast for this upcoming weekend for my family reunion! My nephew Ethan was baptized this last weekend and I went down to Gunnison for that which was fun but sorry no pics to show for! I have also been able to go to quite a few garage sales this summer as always..other than that..the hot July I always remember is finally here and I wish I could be in a pool all day!

My one and only..

If anyone knows me..i mean really knows me. They know I always, always have my eyelash curler with me wherever I go. Why you may ask? Well let's just say my loving sisters always had to remind me that i had stick straight eyelashes. One of the many names they call me is horse eyelashes. (Hence the horse picture depicting my beautiful eyelashes) So for many years I have just bought those cheap revlon eyelash curlers. I found this beauty on eyes lips face.com for $1.00! AMAZING! In it's time of working use it was wonderful. I even took it to a Mary Kay party and was selling it to everyone..well, i just let them try it out! Well the other day I went to use it prolly for the 3rd or 4th time for the day and noticed it wasn't opening and closing as easy..well the spring had snapped in it. I have yet to find another one that compares to the superior performance it gave. Are there any other fellow horse eyelash friends out there that have a good eyelash curler to recommend?

Project

Well..this has been one long process! I talked my friend into buying this highchair at a yard sale last summer because she was expecting. Well, her husband didn't want it so I gladly bought it from her even though it will be awhile before I will ever need to use it! These things go for over 200.00 at the antique stores...I've checked! I had this guy build me a tray to go with it since it didn't come with one! I am completely in love with this. I decided to antique it was some glaze and all Nick could say was that it just looked really dirty! Men..its okay! I still like it and am on the hunt for cute fabric for chair pads!

Cruise!!! LoTs OF PiCtUrEs!

Well we did it! After spending wayyy too many hours in the SLC, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale airports we have been on a cruise and are now back to reality! I won't bore you with all the details of me writing it so I have compiled (or tried) to get the pictures sorted in collages by each day. It's much more fun to look at pictures than read a boring journal about it! We ate way too much food and had a great time with my dear friend and her husband. We went to Key West Florida, Cozumel Mexico, and the Bahamas. We had beautiful weather and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I of course spent too much time in the sun without the use of sunscreen so I am suffering the consequences of that stupidity. We got to snorkel which was actually really fun even though I almost died by freaking out when I sucked up water through my snorkel but Nick showed me how to blow the water out so I survived. We are happy to be back in Utah where the air is a little easier to breathe! Although, I did go running on our cruise and boy it felt like I could run 20 miles! That dang elevation does really make a difference! Needless to say..loved the cruise..Who is ready for the next one!?
