In May we found out very EXCITING news we will be expecting an addition to our little family on February 9, 2011. I am about 16 weeks right now, our little shoemake is about the size of a avocado.In a few weeks we will find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I will post it!

Dan and I will be moving back to Cedar City next week. I have two years left of school and Dan wants to start college in the fall. He is going into information systems and networking aka computer things, and I am going into nutrition.We are very excited about moving back and finishing school. We will be living in his sister's basement until we can find a place to rent that allows dogs. I will be working at emerald point as a CNA again and Dan will find job somewhere. We trust and Lord and know that if we do our part then he will watch over us.

Our Chritsmas Card

This year we had Dan's sister take our picture for our Christmas card. I love this picture. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and I very happy new year!

Some Firsts for me

Today for the first time I made deviled eggs! They turned out yummy and so cute. I was very proud of myself. I also made pot roast in my crock pot for the first time ever. I shredded the meat after it was done cooking all night and then covered it in our favorite BBQ sauce and stick it back into the crock pot to cook and stay warm til dinner time. Dan and I  watched ICE AGE 3: Dawn of the Dinos. It was way cute and fun to watch a movie with him. Also we have been devoted fans of Ice Age sense the first one came out. 

These of course are my deviled eggs! 

I also let Dan dye my hair for me, not the first time but the second time for letting him do my hair. He actually does a great job.

 

This is our babies Christmas 2009 picture oh they are just so dang cute and fun.

School is over!

I just finished this semester at SUU. I now have my AS degree. I am the first one in my family to receive a college degree of any kind. I will start at SUU again next fall. Dan is going to start school next year and he is super excited to start school. He is going to major in computer systems or something like that. He loves computers, well technology in general and he is great at fixing anything. He is very smart and I am very proud of him. He also wants to build computers. I am excited for the future and I can't wait to see what is going to happen and where we will end up. I love my Danny and I love my family.

Kayla sent pictures today from her mission she looks great and is happy. here are a few of the pictures she sent. Kayla also got the date when she will be coming home May 13th. I am so happy and excited to see her. I miss her a lot.

Our Christmas Tree

Thanksgiving Vacation!

Dan and I went to Cedar City for thanksgiving. Both our families live there which was great. We got two thanksgiving dinners, they were both yummy. It was a blast seeing our families and spending time with them. We have wonderful families and we are very lucky to have them. Dan and I stayed up all night Thursday night. We went to Wal-Mart for the black Friday sale. We were waiting in line for six hours for two laptops that were on sale for a great price. It was a long night, I tired sleeping on the walmart ground, it was so cold and i couldn't sleep. It was fun and exciting staying up all night with Dan and plus we got the laptops we were waiting for.  Dan's mom also got remarried this last weekend. She got sealed for time only in the St. George Temple. It was a beautiful day. I love being at the temple and being inside is even better. The spirit is so strong and there is a overwhelming feeling of peace and comfort inside the temple you just can't feel anywhere else in this world. Over this little vacation I realized that i really do have an amazing husband. He is worthy to get me to the temple and his testimony gives mine the added strength I truly need to survive in this world. I am very grateful to him for serving a mission and for his family raising him right and to be strong in the gospel and to be a gentlemen to everyone. I love this time of year, for the smells and the joy that is all around. Also when we were in Cedar it started snowing. It was beautiful and white. I love the way the snow looks on trees. But I am also grateful that I live in California and there is no snow. I don't have to wake up early to wipe the snow off my car and shovel the drive way. And I don't have to worry about falling.  I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.

Pictures from thanksgiving at my parents house.

My sister in law Tammy made this wedding cake for her mom. She made the flowers and everything it was beautiful and amazing. There really isn't anything that women can't do. The newlyweds are the picture at the right. This is Dan's mom and Her new husband Lorin Pickett.
