It's Official!

I've been wait to do this for certain reasons, and a lot of people already know, but I'm going to make it official! I'M PREGNANT!!!!! We are so excited! I'm 12 weeks and we heard the heartbeat today, so I think we are pretty safe to finally announce it! My due date is September 4th. Madi is way excited! She went with us today to the Dr. and she thought we were getting the baby today. She was a little disappointed. But she said she liked the babies bump, bump.

Time Flies!

I'm doing this a little early but I'm going to be out of town for awhile, but on February 20th Brian and I will be married for 5 years!!!! That is so crazy to me! I can't believe it! We aren't going to be together on the 20th, so we had a Valentine/ Anniversary get-a-way! We went to Alpine and stayed at the Tal-Wi-Wi Lodge. (yes that's what it's called) Every time we go to Alpine we say we should stay there. So this year I decided we should. It is a very old place and definitely not a 5 star hotel, but it was an experience! I don't know if I would go there again, but it was fun for a one time thing!

Our room. At least it was very clean!

All in all, we had so much fun! It's nice to get away every once in awhile just the two of us!! Happy Anniversary Babe!!!!

Ode To New Kids on the Block

It's been awhile since I've posted anything! We are alive and doing good! Anyways anyone who knew me when I was little knows that me, my sister Brandy, my good friend April, and my cousins in the valley were obsessed with New Kids on the Block. We had videos, sleeping bags, dolls, etc. Well awhile ago when we were in the valley we were playing a karaoke game with Brandy and it just so happened to have the song Step By Step, by the New Kids! Brandy and I thought that was so funny and of course had to sing it. Madi ended up loving that song and now sings it all the time! So, here is a little clip of her singing:

We had a really good Thanksgiving this year in the valley. Lots of food and family. We missed Brianne, Tim, & Jace but other than that we had fun. I was bummed about the after Thanksgiving sales though. There was nothing worth going to the store at 5 in the morning for. Brandy and I did that last year and had so much fun. We were so excited to do it again, but there was nothing we wanted to buy, so we just slept in. Brian decided though at 11 o'clock at night on Friday that we needed an Xbox and Guitar Hero, so he went and got that. It's so fun!! We are rockers now!

Here are some pictures we took at my parents on Thanksgiving day. I needed them for Christmas gifts and I think they turned out pretty good.

Last weekend we went to the Little Big Town/ Carrie Underwood concert with our awesome friends Brady and Stacie. We had so much fun!!! I didn't know a lot of Carrie's songs but she is such a great singer and she can play the guitar! (which I wish I could do, I don't know why, because I would have nowhere to play it, but it would still be cool!) Brian was a goober though, he brought a pocket knife in the arena and set the metal detector off so the security guard said he could put the knife in the car or through it away. So he decided to give it to the guard, because he was hungry and didn't want to walk all the way back to the truck. So needless to say the concert cost us more than we thought! About $90 more for a new knife! What am I going to do with him! I think it was just an excuse to get a new knife!

Brady and Stacie

Thanks again guys for inviting us! We had a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a lot of fun this Halloween! Talie and her kids, and Ben and Cindy came over for pizza, and then we got all the kids ready to go trick-or-treating. It was total craziness at my house, but worth it. I think everyone had fun!


Grumpy Snow White! I could not get a smile out of her for pictures


Snow White with Grumpy! Hmm... maybe that is what she should have dressed up as

Cute kids! Brody was a pirate, Kasie was Cinderella, and Riley was Iron Man

Beautiful Princesses!



Trick-Or-Treat!

Madi has been obsessed with Snow White ever since she saw Shrek 3. She loves the part where Snow White sings the Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song". She will dance and sing just like Snow White. Well, now she is thrilled, because she has the dress to match the part. So here is a little video of her in action!
