Baby Boy on Board

2010-02-25T13:35:00.001-08:00

I am sure everyone already knows but i just thought i would make a pregnancy post. I am 24 wks. pregnant with a baby BOY! This pregnancy has been so different from sophie's, that i pretty much knew it was going to be a boy. I was still sick and on medication but even that was less severe and at different times in the day. I also couldn't stand eating sugar, it just always sounded so gross, too bad it is starting to wear off and sugar is yummy again. Allen and I are sooo excited for a boy we can't even wait. I just hope for a healthy baby! I am trying to get brave and take some prego pictures but i am not sure yet..hehe..other than baby stuff everything is very normal and boring, which is a good thing. I can't wait til spring and summer, i have such winter blues. I went to St. George last week and the weather was so nice and i got to take Sophie to the park everyday and it was awesome, too bad i had to come home to snow and cold..:(

What did I do so wrong?

2010-02-25T12:57:00.000-08:00

I don't understand why people don't just talk about things that are bothering them? Wouldn't it just be easier to get it off your chest and talk things through? Does no one ever think that if we knew of something we did wrong we might actually want to make it right and be forgiven? Instead people just ruin friendships because they refuse to talk things through. I am trying to tell myself to just move on and not to worry about it but i guess i am just not built that way..hopefully someday I will be able to convince my heart that i don't need friends like that in the first place! Sorry for that rant but i can't get it out of my head and i hope there are others out there that feel the same way.

Stuff

2009-10-21T08:17:00.000-07:00

So i haven't posted anything in a long time..Sorry! I just wasn't feeling blogging..I am going to try to be better. Things that have been going on with us...Lets see...well a few weeks ago Sophia had an accident and smashed her front teeth up inside her gums..it was very tramatic but she is doing great... Sophia tells me everyday that it is her birthday and that she is 4..I just go with it kuz what could be wrong with a birthday everyday! At least i know she is happy everday! Allen has been busy with work with is always good. I love that i have such a hardworking hubby! I have been going to the gym alot trying to get in shape...and just being a mommy and a wifey. I am really looking forward to going to Mexico in November and can hardley wait! Well, thats about it...not very excited...until next time!

Fun Weekend!

2009-05-04T11:41:00.000-07:00

Sophie and I headed down to St. George this weekend to hang out with my mom and dad and cousins..We had so much fun..We went to Vegas on Sat. and shopped and played at a really cool park with a water section...Sophie is getting so big and talks my ear non-stop..I love it! Well, I guess i should head home to see my hubby! I will post pictures when i get home..

Just thoughts?

2009-04-27T13:38:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking alot lately about what a Friend is? I think some people think a friend is someone that only tells you what you want to hear and its only ever sunshine and roses. I think a true friend is someone that will tell you the good with the bad and not hide things just kuz they are hard to say...I am very grateful to all my friends out there that are willing to tell me the truth about things even though it may not be what i want to hear...Thanks

New Post!

2009-03-27T12:26:00.000-07:00

Fun in the Sun!!!

2008-09-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

So this past weekend Eric and Sara Epps came with Allen and I down to St. George. We had so much fun. It was sunny and warm and perfect. On Saturday night we all went to Mequite! Sara and I spent the night at the penny machines and had so much fun...i had never played the slot machines before and a little money lasts a long time! Meanwhile, Allen and Eric played on the tables. It was a total blast! We all left rich in memories but definately poorer! We took a bunch of pictures of us all goofing around! Must do it again very soon!
