Oh Christmas Tree

So we don't have a lot of Christmas decorations but I'm very excited about our tree especially when it's all lit up I love it! I'm gettin pretty excited for Christmas also because that always means getting to see my very favorite people...family!

Kael's #1 birthday!

This is my nephew Kael. He just turned one this past month. I thought some of the family would appreciate some of these pics.

Kael blowing out his candle. Can you see the excitement on his face? lickin his chops.

Kael's Teddy Bear Cake that my sister made for him.

He really liked it!!... just dove in!

33 weeks!!

Well it's been forever since I blogged, sorry guys. I'm in one of those modes where I'm having a hard time being creative about what to write, so once again I will just update ya on how the pregnancy is going. I'm almost 33 weeks along and I'm super excited that I only have 7 weeks until Braylie is here!!....Wahoo!! It'll be nice to have my body back to just myself also. I'm getting to the point in pregnancy where it's getting really hard to get comfortable not just when I'm sleeping but when I'm awake also...so 24/7. Other than that I've been doin pretty well though. I've had a few braxton hicks but definitly nothing serious so far which is good.

Earlier in the month my mom and sister threw me a baby shower that I think went really well. I had a lot of fun anyways and I hope some other people did also. We got tons of really cute and fun stuff. I took some pics of some of the non-clothing items since you'll see those on her.

This is a nursing cover and sling...I'm way excited for these because they will be especially useful. Allison in my ward makes these and sells them if anyone else is interested her website is http://www.babychameaux.blogspot.com/

These are just some of the blankets...there are more can you believe it?

Thanks everyone for your help! We really appreciate it!!

3 Year Anniversary!

So Brad and I finally celebrated our anniversary!! We decided we wanted to cook a really nice dinner for ourselves!! So thanks to my parents we had some awesome steaks and then creamed corn, barbecue asparagus, and baked potatoes. I'm pretty proud of myself cuz I cooked it all by my self and it was so delicious. We haven't eaten like that since the last time we went and visited my parents...they always go all out with food. One of the perks of visiting them. So we definitely enjoyed ourselves and our good food! Yum!

Brad giving me his approval

This is what it looked like...I should be a chef, right?

So this is my hair station at our salon. Isn't it cute? I took this pic so that I could make fliers to rent it out when the baby comes but I know some other people have wanted to see that can't...so here ya go.

27 Weeks

Well tomorrow I am 27 weeks along...I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going...well at least since I haven't been sick. When I was sick I was just counting till the next minuet would start...that was the slowest month ever!! but I can't believe I'm almost 7 months along already. I think I'm getting to the stage when random people start giving advice and touching my belly all the time because up until today I've had only 2 people touch it without permission and today alone at church three people rubbed it that I barely even know. Whenever people do that it reminds me of that saying "rub the budda belly for good luck"...maybe a prego belly is even better and thats why everyone does it. Also today at church it seems like everyone was tellin me that I'm starting to really "pop" now...lol... hopefully that doesnt really happen for another couple of months.



So yesterday Brad took his exiting exam!!! I am so proud of him because he worked so hard to be prepared for this test! Hopefully it has paid off but we still won't know for another 12 weeks...more of the waiting game...wahoo!! but I'm so excited because now I get my husband back! and I really missed him. He was so good to me even when we was so busy though but I must say it is going to be nice to see him at least more than just waking up and when we go to bed at night! I think it is going to be a big relief for him also since his school is getting a little more intense now with all his final projects starting.

P.S. we just passed our 3 year anniversary!! Pretty exciting!!

25 Weeks!!

Well I had a checkup this morning and it went pretty well. My doctor measured my belly and I'm right where I'm supposed to be...so thats awsome. I also ended up getting a flu shot and now my arm feels really bruised. Maybe I'm just a baby when it comes to those things but I don't like them! Whenever they have to stick a needle in me I always have to look the other way, not because I get lightheaded or anything but because I get butterflies in my stomach and not the good kind!! It just gives me the heaby-geabies all over again just thinkin about it even.

So today my sister and I thought of a cute project for the baby room today and I'm so excited with the way it turned out. She gave me some paper lanterns a long time ago and I've always wanted to use them so I made things tissue paper balls to go with them as a kind of a make shift, maybe mobile thing for the baby. Anyways I felt pretty creative and it finally added some pink to the room that was mostly blue!!
