We bought a Wii!!!!

Im super stoked about this. We went shopping all day in Boise. We decided that since Taylor's portable dvd player quit working, that we wanted to buy dvd screens that strap on to the seats, its really awesome for road trips, which we make ALOT... the portable dvd player was actually Brian's that he has had for years and years, and the screen finally went out on it... so that was our mission. Along with deciding to buy a game console... it was between the PS3 and a Wii. The PS3 was amazing in graphics and all its special features, however the newer version of it does not play Ps2 or ps games, like the older version, so that was a huge bummer. We went to the mall to check out some of the sales there, and we ran into my cousins baby shopping, told them our plan, and Keri says we have a wii you can buy... I was all are you serious.. so long story short, we found dvd screens for taylor in the car, and then that night we went over to Keri's bought their wii and had a great visit. We were totally stoked, we had already boughten a couple of games already!!... lol. We've been playing it quite often, buying new games for it weekly. =) so much fun! Its a great family console, and I can't wait for Taybugz to play it, she plays sometimes, but when she gets older she'll be able to enjoy it as well. We are very very excited about our purchase!!

16 weeks 2 days!!

Had a doctor's appointment today, nothin special. I now weigh 129 lbs. Yikes!!... One thing I dread most at my doctor appointments is standing on the scale and watching it go up and up and up...lol. I still don't feel like I show that much. im still at the chubby stage... where you just feel chubby and not really pregnant..lol. Well the baby is doin good, and the heart rate is normal.. so there really isn't anything to update about! However next time i'm scheduled...for April 6th @ 2pm. And that appointment will be something to talk about. we will find out if we are having a boy or a girl, and We will get to see him or her and hear the heart beat =) Finally!! But is still forever away.

Wednesday Taylor and I spent the night at Alicia's, she got to play with the boys, and we got to visit. Alicia had dinner ready for us, yum!! after eating we settled into our jammys, and got ready to watch a movie. We watched Madagascar 2... pretty cute movie. I laughed =) and I liked it, in fact I saw parts of the movie the 2nd time that i didn't see the first time. Isn't that how it usually goes!.. we had alot of fun.. Had a yummy breakfast the next day, spent the day at her house, the kids played some more, and we just had a great time. Almost like the old days, but with more kids. lol. It was great to spend that time with her. Hopefully we get the chance to do it again. =)

Friday I tried to make plans with the Deavers, but its so dang hard to get any time with them. So Taylor and I decided to go shopping while we waited for Daddy to get into town. while we were shopping, I found out the Deavers were at the mall, so I thought okay great I'll meet them at the mall and hang out with them for a little bit...but then I found out that they were goin to leave before I got there, so I just stayed in Eagle and did some shopping. Took Taybugz to McDonalds she got the chance to play while we were eating... =) Talked to Jennie through text like all day long... Just trying to find out if I was goin to get to see her or not.. And I got really tired of trying to chase them around town just to see them once... So I decided to just go shopping... Then while I was in the middle of shopping, I find out from the Deavers that they will meet me at Rafiki for a play date... but just for a lil bit.. So I bought what i had in my cart already, and headed to Rafiki, set my frustration aside and enjoying the fact that I actually get to see them. Which we had a great time catching up!!.. Taylor had fun playing with Kirsten.. She followed her to the big slide, got up there and changed her mind, started crying, so i had to haul butt up there, and army crawl through the play thing, it was great...lol. First time I got to see Brack in forever... over all I had alot of fun. I always do when we go there... It's just an amazing place for kids to play, i wish i could take taylor there more. And I really wish that we had a place like that in pendleton, Or. The deavers left, and Taylor and I hung out for a lil longer, so she could play.. on my way home, i was starving, so I stopped in Taco Bell to get some Tacos, and then realized I haven't heard from my husband all day, so i called him to see where he was, and it was a nice surprise that he was already in nampa... woohoo!!! Perfect ending to a mad house of a day!!... i love when he comes into town!!

We had a great valentine's day. i woke up to the most beautiful roses sittin on the counter along with a gift and cupcakes.. awwww how sweet. Brian was makin Breakfast in the kitchen, and Makin some delcious coffee... mmmmm... he is amazing in the kitchen. We have an espresso machine so he makes the real thing, and it was mmmmm mmmmm good. I only had a little bit, but usually I could drink that stuff forever!!... We had breakfast, very delicious =) We spent the entire day together as a family. Living in Pendleton and not knowing anyone takes away from the luxury of a baby sitter... So there was no one on one date this year... but it was still great!!...We watched a movie later in the evening together, we exchanged gifts.. Taylor got some new books, as she loves books so much she reads them over and over again. lol. Taybugz and I got Brian a blue ipod nano 4th generation, he loved it, and didn't expect it at all... it was a terrific surprise, and i got some lovely heart shaped candles, and a diamond heart necklace!!.. love at first sight...awwwww...
Just spending the day together as a family made it out to be a pretty great Valentine's day!!... i love my family!! Hope you all had a great V'day!!

Rough Trip Home...

I'll tell you, this pregnancy is havin one heck of a rough start. I've been so sick lately, it's ridiculous. I can only hope that it will just be in the beginning... with Taylor I was so sick for 7 months, and by the time I got to the stage of not being sick any more, I was ready to pop and miserable on my feet. lol. So I hope I get to enjoy some of this pregnancy. So far its much like the same. The trip home was rough. We pulled off in Durkee.. and I had to get sick at a truck stop, it was great, and then again when we got home... Hope this ends soon. =( It seems to me that i get the opposite effect that most mother's do. I don't get lucky with full lucious hair, clear skin, that natural glow, I get everything opposite... =( I know its not really fair for me to sit here and complain, when I have a miracle growing inside of me... and other mother's have had it so much worse. So I feel bad for complaining... at times I wish all of this stuff would stop, I hate being sick, Im no good at it. but I also remember the important things... a new life created by two people in love. Reguardless of all the complaining, and the things I say and feel at times, I still wouldn't take it back for anything in the world. I remind myself, it could be worse, and i also remember the feeling of the wonderful lil outcome of it all, the precious lil baby staring into your eyes when you first meet. I can't wait to feel it all over again. =) Now I just wish we could find out what the sex of our baby is... i can't wait to just know!! Parents who can wait til the day of the birth are crazy, but I give them props, cuz i could never do that. Waiting is not a game that I am good at!!

May Baby Shower!!

Kyla pregnant with Kystin =) Awaiting his arrival

What a busy weekend. Saturday morning, Im wrapping like crazy and putting together not only mine, but my moms and coley's gift as well. It came together pretty well. I think it looks cute.


This is the gift from Mom and Coley... put together and wrapped by ME!!This one is from us! (Brian, Taybugz, and myself)

So once I got to kyla's house, I met Thea outside for some help. First off I had no clue where to even park, i swear the whole town of Nampa was there...lol. Thea helped me unload the car and take it into the house.. The house was packed full of people, decorated beautifully, had an adorable cake, theme, everything was perfect!!... Cutest Baby shower. I got to see the baby's room its so cute... Im jealous! Squirt from Finding Nemo, and Dude crush were the theme of the party and seem to be the theme for the room... on the wall... there were some of the cutest quotes, Kystin's name.. just too cute.

Well I had already missed the games, but i was told all about them.. I suck at them anyways and usually always lose.. I got there just in time for some cake and to sit down and relax and watch Kyla unwrap a gazillion gifts. lol. she got some pretty cute stuff, I bet she really can't wait for Kystin to get here, now that she has all these new clothes, and things for him.. I know thats how I felt about Taylor =). I wanted her to get her fast so i could play dress up with her...lol. jk.
So funny cuz Thea and I got her alot of exactly the same thing... we think alot apparently.. ooops.

Next time i think we should do our shoppin together. hahahaha. good times. People started leaving during the gifts, I hung around for awhile, I was in no rush to get out of there, I was just glad to sit down and finally relax.. lol. I just visited with some of the family.. Taylor played with Fyn.. they played with the balloons..

Taylor having a ball playing with a balloon.

.....and Ryker showed off =) It was really cute. He sits up really well... he was wearing green so he reminded me of a lil froggy.. lol..Taybugz playin with Ryker.. she's goin to be a good Big sister!Ryker what a lil studd... ....a Really good Picture of Keri.. she's anxious for spring ... Taybugz being as sweet as she can be, she really wants a cupcake. lol..

We had a blast!! It was a terrific shower!!.. can't wait for the next one... hint hint hint!!! Brian is comin in to town this evening, and then its back to Pendleton tomorro!!

Mommy Get- 2gether!!

Mommy's (Alicia, April, Cinthia, Me, and Brit)

All the kiddos... only ONE is mine! lol

Alicia hosted a mommy get together this weekend. I spent the day shopping for baby Kystin for the shower that is Saturday, so Friday was my only chance to get all that done. My original plan was to make her something really cool, but I ended up feeling pretty lousy all week, so we will see what we can come up with!
Anyways.. Back to the mommy get together on Friday night. As usual.. I was runnin late.... after my shopping, i ran home to make a pasta salad, which I will tell you now is really hard to do when your taste buds are all jacked up. lol. anyways.. after it was made I raced over to Alicia's where lots of friends and their kiddos were hanging out... I love get togethers cuz you haven't seen those friends for so long, and its so nice for the kids to play while you catch up!! Anyways April and her 2 boys were there,this was my first time seeing April's new lil baby Tyson. Britney and her 2 boys were there, Cinthia and her son, and I can't even remember the last time I saw them, and I've never seen their kids....and of course Alicia and her 2 boys, and then Me and Taybugz.. Alicia's house was already turned upside down..lol. Taylor made a friend immediately with Britney's son.. There was lots of food to eat =) It was just great, a ton of fun. So nice to catch up. I hope we get to do it again soon. We talked about in the summer time when we can do it outside in the sun enjoy some cold drinks, and have a lil BBQ!! Hopefully that happens. Alicia is expecting to have her baby in April, and Im expecting our baby in August...
I was really lookin forward to seeing Erica and her girls.. I hadn't seen them since Taylor's 1st Birthday! And they are only 2 months difference in Taylor's age... but something came up and she was unable to make it.. maybe next time..And Thea and Averie were unable to make it, as well as Shorty and her kiddos... I don't think that Taylor minded being the only girl, she loves boys =)... lots of boyfriends for her to choose from. lol.
Even though i made sure i brought my camera, i really didn't get that many pictures.. lol. Silly me got caught up in conversations and completely spaced my camera... but here is what i did get!!

The Lovely Brit and her Monster Baby.. he's huge.. a good eater indeed!!

Miss Taylor-BugzBaby boy Tyson... April's son.. 1st time seeing him!such a cute picture of April and her TysonA Mother's Love... so enchantingThe lovely Alicia and Baby
Thats all I got for now. Got another busy day tomorrow!! Night Night!

Date Night!!

This was so great.. brian and I finally get a date night, I can't even remember the last date we actually went on... How sad is that. Where we live in pendleton and we haven't met anyone we don't really get date nights without Taylor. lol. We love her to death, but you know every once in awhile.. you need that one on one time, and with another baby on the way... bring it on baby.. I need a date with my husband. lol.

So anyways.. We had dinner at Texas Roadhouse, it was so yummy. This is probably only my 2nd time being there. The 1st time was years and years ago... Alicia actually took me out there for my Birthday when we were living together, if that tells you anything on how long it has been. So it was delcious, and we really didn't wait too long. I have never seen the people that work there to form a line and start country line dancing .... it was great.. lol. some of the people you could tell they really didn't want to do it, and others were gettin really into it.. =) hollering and jammin out... made my night. After dinner we went to Edwards and caught a showing of Bedtime Stories.. It was pretty good. but it would have been better if there wasn't a girl behind us with the most annoying laugh ever!!.. and even if it was just a lil bit of a funny part, where a chuckle would be appropriate, she full out laughed knee slapped and OMG... i wanted to hit her... lol. But it was a pretty cute movie. Im goin to have to watch it again, cuz my mind was so distracted on the annoying laughing girl in the theatre.. which is all i could hear and all i could think about is I wish i had something to throw at her.

But date night was Great!!.. after the movie we were goin to swing in at Busters for a drink.. well for Brian and loaded fries for myself.. lol But i was just too exhausted and really felt like goin home and gettin in my pjs.. lol.
Can't wait for our next date.. which will probably be forever from this date. but hopefully not.
