The important shot!!

Caitlin Marie!!

We are so excited to be having a baby girl. Ethan was right all along. She is growing right on schedule. Now it is shopping time!!

Our Christmas

We had a great Christmas. We spent time with Lindsay and Stephen and kids, made cookies, played with cousins and ate lots of food. Santa was good to us this year especially Ethan.

We visited Santa at the mall. Ethan wouldn't sit by Santa by himself.

We made a gingerbread house.

Ethan first seeing what Santa brought.

Opening presents

Seeing the trampoline that Santa brought. This was the only gift he wanted from Santa this year. He has been talking about it since September. It was really cold and wet on Christmas day so he didn't jump on it much the first day.



We had a nice holiday season. Ethan was definitely spoiled especially since it will be his last Christmas as an only child. We were also happy to trade in our Mazda 6 for a Nissan Xterra right before Christmas. We were having mechanical issues with it since it was getting close to 100,000 miles. We are so happy to be rid of it and love the space in the new car. We can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us!

Pregnant with #2

We are pleased to announce that we are expecting baby #2. Our official due date is July 8, 2009. I am 11 weeks 1 day and we heard the heartbeat for the first time today. I haven't been sick at all, just nauseous but that has passed now too. Ethan is excited for his baby sister to arrive (We don't know what we are having yet but Ethan says it will be a girl and he always gets what he wants!!) We should know in February whether it will be a boy or a girl.

What we have been up to!

Halloween was fun. We went to our ward's trunk or treat with Kim, Tiffany and kids. Ethan loved getting candy.

Deacon and Ethan

Ethan showing off his muscles. Jeremy and I took him trick or treating around our neighborhood on Halloween along with my parents. He went up the houses all by himself. He was so cute. He didn't want to wear his mask though.

I took Ethan and my nephew Aiden to the zoo a few weeks back. They had so much fun.

We are all settled in the new house. Paint is up in most of the house. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas and cooler weather.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Backstreet's not back!!

Our Backstreet Boys concert was cancelled hours before the show because poor Nick was sick. My mom and I were so disappointed. We drowned our sorrows at Texas Roadhouse. Guess we will have to catch them next tour!

Backstreets Back Alright!!

Guess who is coming to town November 21st??

My mom and I have waited for this day for a long time. We have gone to their last 2 tours and also saw Nick when he went on his solo tour. The last time we saw them was August 26, 2005! I was almost 10 months pregnant at the time and gave birth to Ethan 6 days later. We can't wait!!

Why men shouldn't go grocery shopping

I was making enchiladas last night (8x8 pan) and realized I had gotten red chile sauce instead of red enchilada sauce. Jeremy was on his way home from work so I had him stop at Walmart to grab the right stuff. He came home with this (on the left). A 6 lb 6 oz can!


His explanation was that I asked for the larger can. I meant the size larger than the soup can. I wanted the 1 lb jar on the right. He must have been on the bulk isle!! What am I going to do with 5lbs of enchilada sauce? He said I should be happy he went to the store at all. Men!


Ok so jaime ALWAYS gets her stories twisted all around when her exact words to me were and I quote " Get the BIG one " thats all I have to say I got the BIG one and she says its my fault. Women just dont know what they want that is the problem.
