Baby Pitcher

Well, we are having another baby..... I am due April 11, 2011. We are very excited! I had my first doctors appointment and everything went well. Not going to lie but I am hoping for a girl.. ;) But if we have a boy I will live, and Noah will have a bud! LOL

Catching up...

So we finally moved in to our new house then a week after we took a trip to Oregon with Andy's family. It was so much fun and so nice to have a break finally. But now we are both back to work and back to reality. :) I have been going to the DI lately and finding things to spray paint and fix up. Me and my mom went on monday and we found this plane for Noah's room that looked like it could use some fixin up. So I bought that and a few other things to fix up. It was a lot of fun and I think I am going to start my weekly trips to the DI or garage sells. (P.S. I never thought I would be someone to do that. ) Well here are some pics......

Almost There!

Well we got carpet today and the outside of the house is finished. We are so excited. We are supposed to close thursday or friday. We are doing our final walk through tomorrow. I hope everything goes well and we can move this weekend. We are so excited!!!

I had to post these pictures of Noah and Andy. Noah thinks he has to wear sunglasses like me and Andy do. I finally got his own pair but he was wearing mine for awhile. Before we took this picture he was crying because he wanted them on. I love this little boy! He is so much fun, I am loving the stage he is in.

Few more pics for us to remember. We are getting so excited!

Our Bedroom

Just a few pics. These are mostly for me so I can keep record of it.

Brick

They finished the brick on our house today and I just wanted to post a picture of it. Also we spoke to our builder today and he told me that they are planning on having the house done by July 20th so he wanted me to get things ready with the bank. We are so excited and I really hope that they stick to the date. They just finished painting tonight and tomorrow Andy is going to start laying the wood floors then monday are cabinets. I will take more pictures of inside tomorrow.

Updates

Just a few pictures.....

The House

Currently we are in the process of sheet rocking our house. They told us that we should be in our house before August 1st. We will see what happens. I will post more pictures tomorrow after I get a few more that are updated.

Breaks my heart!!

Sunday morning Andy's friend pasted away. He was diagnosed with Leukemia just last friday and died 2 days later. It is so sad to here this. His wife is pregnant with twins right now and is due in October. I hurt for her. She is so strong and will fight through this trial. He is a great man and I know that he is holding his babies and taking care of them in heaven. Here is the Link to his blog. Prepare yourself to cry.

My Wake Up Call.......

As I am sitting here at work tonight blog stocking..... I have come across so many blogs with people who know people with cancer. People with wife's, husbands, kids, pregnant, etc....... It kills me to read these blogs and read the things they write. Like.... one blog said "He feels well enough to go on a date tonight. Yay for us!" I think to myself really???? Thats what she is excited about?? I must get my crap together! Why do I stress about all the things that don't matter, when this poor lady is thinking about the last days with her husband and she is so excited that she gets to go on a date with him. I want to cry... okay maybe I did. I must get my priorities straightened out. I think to myself I need to cherish the time with my family. Many times I have cleaned the house while Noah plays with his toys by himself. What if something happened to him( I know I can do the "what if's" all day) or like when I have blogged instead of paying attention to Andy and not given him undivided attention??? I know this sounds extreme but really in life what matters to me is my family. They are all I have no matter what, they are there through the thick and thin. I love them. I am so lucky to have a healthy husband and son. Lately I have been so caught up in building our house and other things that really dont matter. I hate that I have let myself get to that point. I have so many things I have got to work on to be better. Andy is so good.. I never have to worry about him telling me that he loves me or him giving Noah attention. He is so good, I am sure I bring him down. I am a very lucky girl and have many things to be grateful for. My dad has always said... "all we need to survive is family, roof over our head, and food." Why do I worry about stupid decorations for my house that I really dont need???? (just an example of the many) Lets just say tonight was a great eye opening experience for me. Maybe a wake up call??? Sorry about this crazy post. I had to get it off my chest. Here are a few of my fav pictures.

Please pray for him.....

Andy's mission companion has testicular cancer. They have found it in other place and he has been in remission a few times, and it is back. They have twins on the way and are so excited but they just found out he has a tumor around his spine that could paralyze him if they don't get rid of it. This is so sad.....please pray for him. This is his blog if you want to look at it.

15 month check up

Today we went to Noahs 15 month check up. He did not have to get shots so that was good. But here are his stats....

Weight 21 lbs 5oz -8%

Length 33 in - 90%

Head 90%

He is a little skinny but I promiseI feed the poor kid. I cant believe how big he is getting, he is talking so much and makes me and Andy laugh all the time.

Our house should be just about to start soon. The building permit is in and they are just waiting for that to come back so they can start digging. We are getting so excited. We move out of our house and in to Janet's (mother in law) in two weeks. I hope we dont drive them nuts. :)

Here is a picture of our lot...

Happy Easter/Picture Overload....

Prepare yourself for a picture overload. For Easter we went to Salt Lake and stayed in a hotel that had a waterpark inside it. I think me and Andy were more excited to take Noah swimming than anything else. We watched conference on Saturday then we headed down to the pool. Me and Andy went to get Noah a tube and Andy had to get just the right one. For some odd reason Andy loves the tubes with the jump suit on them. So..... I just let Andy pick it out and this is what we got. It was hilarious to watch Noah run around with the tube on. He loved swimming. We had a blast with all of our family!! We want to go back already. I have pictures of when JD and Annie came and had dinner with us last weekend. Noah loves Ellie, they are so cute together. I am glad to see another child as busy as mine...she may be more busy then Noah. :) She is adorable. This post explains our life lately.....unorganized. I am expecting it to be that way the next few months...... I am going to hang on for the ride!!! BTW I HATE MOVING AND PACKING... I never want to move again!!

*** Sorry about all the pictures being out of order. My computer is being dumb so.... I am just lucky to have them uploaded on to my blog.

The Classic Pic... Noah didn't want to take a pic and Andy being a goofball as usual.

Family photo shoot. haha :) Gotta love ANDY!! haha

Andy in the pool with the kiddos

With selling our house and building a new house I have had a pen and paper a lot and Noah has been carrying around a pen and paper just like me. They learn so fast.

Noah's "Grandpa Terry Face" (A family Joke) ;)

Another pool pic

Noah's sweet tube...... ;)

The cousins

Ready to go swimming

A few days ago trying to get a picture together....this is all we got. I love him

I have been packing and he is such a great help to pull everything out of the boxes but I found him in here the other day. It made me laugh.

Andy, Ellie and Noah

Noah and Ellie

This video is of Noah feeding Hemi. We got home from our trip and we found Noah sitting in front of the door to the back porch feeding Hemi. It was so stinkin cute me and Andy just sat there quietly and watched him feed Hemi. We want to get rid of her before we move but after seeing how cute they were together we are having second thoughts.

Time to go private again

I had our blog private at one time and I am going to make it private again. So if you want to keep reading leave your email address.

We Accepted it!

So this morning we counter offered and after going back and forth a little bit we both agreed on a price and we feel really good about it. We are so thankful to have sold our house in 1 week after putting it up for sale. We are supposed to be out by 4/29. We are way excited!!

Offer!

We got an offer on our house yesterday. We are showing the house again today and see how that goes then we will decide if we are going to except the offer. We are so excited. My sweet in laws are allowing us to live in their basement until our home is finished. I hope everything thing goes through for us. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

Changes

Well tonight we signed a contract and put money down to start the process of building a home. We are so excited to have the opportunity to do this. We will actually be in Andy's parents ward and my brother and sister in law's ward (Matt and Camie) . They estimated our house to be done July 8th. I am sure it will be later because that is how it always works right?
Andy starts his new job a week from thursday and he is so excited. I always worry about him going to work somewhere else because I know he loves working with his dad and brother but I am so proud of Andy and his accomplishments that he has made. I know I always brag about him and I am sure people get sick of hearing it but I truley am the luckiest girl in the world and I am so grateful for all the sacrafices Andy makes for our family. He is the BEST dad too!! I just don't know why I was blessed with him to be my husband. I honestly don't feel like I deserve him! I am grateful for the blessings we have been blessed with this past month, we have had some neat experiences. :)

Day of Remembrance

Most of you probably dont care about this but this is for me to remember so you don't have to read it.......

Today is my Grandpa Clark's birthday. I miss him dearly.... He would be 89 today. He died June 12, 2002 of cancer. He was a fighter! I remember going to stay with him in his last days and we would just talk and talk, even though he did not feel good. I have so many memories with my Grandpa that I cherish. I wish I had a picture of him that I could post. After my Grandpa died me and my dad were in my dads garage and I remember seeing this shovel that was really thin at the top of the handle. You could tell that it had been used a lot..... I asked my dad when he was going to throw this shovel away and he said "never.. it was grandpa's it one of the very few things I have left of him." It made me tear up a bit. He was such a hard worker and this was just an example of it. He had such a great sense of humor too. I never did get to meet my mom's dad, he died in a boating accident when she was 18. So I was very attached to my grandpa Clark. I hope to never forget all the wonderful memories of riding horses and the good convo's we had or when he would get bored he would always come to our house and walk in the back door and you could hear his cowboy boots on tile floor. Brings a smile to my face to think about and maybe a little tear. :) Andy said today before he left to work, lets take some flowers to his grave tonight. I am so grateful for Andy, he is always so thoughtful and thinks of me. I am sure my grandpa would have loved him. I will post pics later.

Other news.. Andy first turned down that job on tuesday, they called him back and offered him some more money and a few other things. Andy called me and was not sure what to do. After talking with his dad, and thinking it over he decided to take the job. He had a very neat experience with this all and we feel this is where we should be right now. He starts in two weeks. He is VERY sad to leave his dad and brother at work but he feels it is the right thing to do for us as a family.

We are BORING!!

I thought I would just type a quick little update. We are very boring these past few weeks! Andy got a job offer with a company here in town but he is still not sure if he will take it or not. He really enjoys working for his dad. So I guess we will see what happens. .... As for me I am just working at the hospital full time in the sleep lab. I am working towards becoming Registered. My goal is to have that done in June. It is so hard to study with a little one. So my studying is nap time and bed time. Noah is just as busy as ever. Getting more and more fun each day. He is sure talking a lot but we don't know what he is saying. He loves our dog and gives it "loves". He also LOVES playing with Emmie (Jason & Loni's girl) They play together quite often. I brought him to my moms this morning and they had to hold hands. I can't believe how fast kids grow! I honestly feel like I just had him. But I have people asking me all the time when we are having another! I dont know if I could hack it! Props to all you moms that have multiple children.

We are looking at building up in Hyde Park, who knows if it will even happen but we are putting our house up for sale. We will keep you posted on this. But that is it for now! Sorry we are so boring.

DONT DRIVE DISTRACTED!

Take 15 minutes to watch this video and promise yourself to not drive distracted! Take the PLEDGE!!! Here is the link to the video. Watch it then repost this!!!!
