New post coming soon... promise!!

So It has been way too long since I have posted!!! But I will say that I am getting some free time here in a little bit and I shall post a long post, if not a few long posts!!!

The Latest with US...

Well I know it has been quite a while since I UPDATED. I am very bad at this blogging stuff, especially while I am pregnant. The only reason why I am even on the internet these days is to look for Baby Bedding, cribs and strollers... Amongst many other baby things. I have finally narrowed it down to 4 bedding sets (which is good for me) and of course the one that I like the most is the most expensive. I need to know what people actually spend on crib bedding these days. So many decisions!! So memorial day, Dallas and I went up to Idaho Falls to see Dall`s family. It was a trip that was LONG overdue! We stayed at his Dads house and watched lots of movies with him, since that is what Dave Todd, Dall`s Dad, likes to do best! We had a BBQ the night we got up there with Dall`s sister Ashley and her Boyfriend. It was a lot of fun. Then we HAD to make smores over their fire pit! DELICIOUS!! The next day, we did a little shopping and sight seeing around Idaho Falls. We went to the Falls and saw the Temple. It was such an awesome view. Then after we ate at a really good Bar & Grill that over looked the falls. The weather was perfect so we spent most our time outside. Then on our final day, we went to visit Dawn and Kanyon, Dalls step mom and Dalls nephew... who is by far the cutest boy I have EVER SEEN!!! I could steal him and not feel bad about it!! He looks just like his daddy Matt (Dall`s brother) which gets me excited because there is a chance our little guy will look somewhat like Kanyon! Anyways, we ate a nice sunday dinner with all Dawn and all dalls siblings, minus Matt. It was delicious. It was really good to see Dall`s family. We need to do it so much more often!!





On another GREAT note... It is Mine and Dallas` 2nd Anniversary today! I cannot believe we have been married for 2 years. Oh so many things we have accomplished in that time! I`m looking outside and the weather is pretty much the same as it was on our wedding day, cloudy and a little chilly. It made for great wedding pictures though. We celebrated it yesterday by going baby shopping, a little shopping in there for us too might I add. Dallas surprised me with dinner at the restaurant Bambara, which is in Hotel Monico... where we spent our wedding night!!! He was thinking, wasnt he? The food was amazing!! Dall had scallops and I had Halibut. It was to die for... until I found out that I am not supposed to eat Halibut due to the high mercury levels in that particular fish. I googled if I was going to be in trouble, and it quickly reassured me!! Dall was a nervous wreck until we found out that having one 6 oz fillet is not going to do anything to me or the baby! Anywho, after dinner,we walked around Temple Square a bit because it`s my favorite place to go. We ran into a few Sister Missionaries who wanted to tell us about all sorts or church history. Then we went and saw the movie Land of the Lost. DONT recommend it! That`s all I have to say about that. It was a great Anniversary!!! Dall, I love you and I am so happy we are on this journey together!! I am the luckiest wife in the world!!!



And here is my 22 week Shot!!! I cannot believe how large my stomach is getting, and I`m only half way there!

We are having a .....

BOY!!!!!!!!! We had the ultrasound on Friday and we were so Shocked! Both of us really thought it was going to be a girl, especially Dall. We are So excited! Its so crazy how the moment you find out what you are having, it just seems so natural. My thought right after we found out was "Of course its a Boy!!!" Now onto the hard part... narrowing down a few names. I had four girl names picked out but not too sure on a boy name. So we have to do some big soul searching!! Any ideas on names, send them my way!

I am so mad!!

So today was the day we were supposed to find out the gender of this baby... But when we got there, they told us that the ultrasound machine was broken! BLAH!!!! So we made another appointment for tomorrow at 1:3o. So... hopefully we will have better luck tomorrow.

NeW PoSt!!!

So I am finally posting!! It has been quite a while and I feel like I have come back from the dead. I didnt have a wonderful 1st trimester and I spent most of my time in bed. But I am feeling much better. So the latest fun thing we did was go to Antimony over the weekend to relax and spend time with family and Grandpa. A few of my siblings couldnt not go and they were missed grately. But we had a lot of fun. We went Rock Hunting with the kiddies and they LOVED it! They all filled buckets full of rocks to take home. Marni also put the boys in charge of gathering rocks for her yard. Dallas, Landon and Grandpa did it with smiles on their faces while Marni sat on a rock with Avery and deligated which rocks she wanted. We had a picnic up the canyon because it was such a warm day! Then on Sunday we drove to Gramdma's grave site and talked a while and Grandpa wanted all of us to walk back into town, which is about 2 miles of a walk. The kids loved it about half way into it, then they wanted to get carried all the way home because their legs hurt. I thought it was funny. My back was not liking me after that long walk. All in all it was a wonderful weekend! I needed to get down to Antimony. It was great spending time with my family, especially my Grandpa. I have been going down to Antimony with my family for about 13 years. There are many memories I have there and it is almost thereputic when I am there! I love it!!










And last is the first Belly picture. I took this when I was exactly 15 weeks. I know... I'm quite large in the belly for only 15 weeks. And this is why... when I went in for my 14 week Dr. appointment, he measured my from my belly button to my pelvic bone, which I'm sure all OB's do. Anywho, he measured me twice and looked at me funny. He said "Did you know that the space I just measured is extremely small? Probably the smallest space I have seen on a stomach." I didnt really know what he meant so I said "Is that a bad thing?" Then he said " No but you will show really early on in your pregnancy and you will cary the baby high and far out. You wont be very comfortable from week 28 to delivery." So.. that was a joyous thing to hear. It caught me by surprise because I always thought I had a really long torso. I guess I didnt know a thing!

Our BIG News!!!!!

So... I have been meaning to get on this thing and write about the latest, it has been quite a while. Well, as a few of you already know... YES we are PREGNANT!!! We are SO excited!! We have wanted to get pregnant for quite some time now. The Lord has finaly blessed us with a baby on the way!!! I have been quite sick, constantly nauseous and I have had the two flu/colds since we found out the news. I am currently trying to get through cold #2! I have gone through many emotions since we found out. First emotion is thankfulness to our Heavenly Father that he has entrusted us with one of his precious children! I am also very hormonal... I feel very bad for Dallas who has put up with me and continues to do so. Then of coarse the sick factor. That is probably the emotion that is the strongest. I have taken my health for granted all the years of my life. Having been nauseous for a month and a half straight, I am just SOOOO ready to feel normal again. I cant imagine the day but my mom is telling me that it will come soon. We are due October 10th so I am about 10 weeks along. So that is our Wonderful news!!!!! Pics will come shortly when i look better.

Our Valentines Day!!

Me and Dall had a great Valentines Day! ON friday, Dallas came to my work and gave me an Edible Arrangements bouque of Chocolate Covered Strawberries. It was so pretty, i didnt want to eat it. They were delicious too. Then on saturday, we went and saw "He's Just Not That Into You," which was better than we both expected. Then after our movie, we went to the Marriot Hotel and ate at their amazing resteraunt... however i cant remember the name. We had a three course meal. They brought out this amazing appetizer salad that had asparagus, zuccini and shrimp with an amazing Soy Sauce dressing. Then they brought us out a filet minon and amazing halibut.... then.... oh this is the best part... they brought us a mini chocolate bunt cake with vanilla icecream, berries and chocolate drizzle! It was amazing. A picture is below to show! So our valentines day was quite special. I love V Day because it means a lot to both of us. Two years ago, Dall proposed to me on Valentines Day, then took me to LaCaille. We Love Valentines Day around here!!

The WORST Vacation!!

So this wonderful vacation i was mentioning could possibly be the worst vacation i have had. The week started out great. I got to sleep in, visit my mom, go out to lunch with friends. Then on thursday, i went in to do some mail at the office and my throat started to KILL. I got home and my body was starting to ache really bad. I took a nap and when i woke up, i was throbbing everywhere. I was having heat flashes and a killer sore throat. I doped myself up on nyquil an aleive before i went to bed.... only to be woken up by me feeling sick to my stomach. Ya... i didnt leave the toilet for some time that first night. So whatever it was that i had.... well i STILL HAVE IT, six days later. My sore throat was the begining of a terrible hacking cough, which wakes Dall up in the middle of the night and he thinks i'm dying. I also have a stuffed nose that stings when i try to breath. My body is weak and is shaking all day. I HATE being sick more that anything. The only thing i want to do is go to work. That way, I'll know i'm feeling better and not being a terrible employee!! I hope all this Vitamin C i'm taking is paying off and not destroying my liver!
On a much more sad note, my family cat Ebby, who we have had and loved for 10 years, was put to sleep on saturday. I noticed something was wrong with her a week ago sunday. She was walking really slow and she didnt like to be moved. I told my parents to keep an eye on her for the next couple of days to see if she would get better. Things only got worse as the week went on. My dad, sister and I took her to the vet on wednesday to see what was wrong. The vet said she that her kidneys were not working proberly and that they were shutting down. So we took her home one last time to let everyone say goodbye before we took her back to be put to sleep. Maybe I'm crazy but i loved this cat so much! I am TERRIBLE when it come to my pets dying. I cryed numerous times throughout the week just thinking about her and that she will no longer be here. Goodness, my horemones are so crazy right now. So all in all, Ebby was a great cat to our family for the last 10 years. We loved her very much and are sad to see her go. We will miss her dearly!

VaCaTiOn!!

Well, I have 1 week off of work and I am loving it so far! Sleeping in, watching Good Things Utah, Reading, Having the apartment to myself.... dont get me wrong, I love when Dall is home but i love having "ME TIME." It's gonna be a good week off to sit back, relax and just breath.... and go to the gym whenever i want because i am not tired after a long day of work. I'm loving life.

Exciting News!!!

Ok... So my sister Rachel has been on the adoption list for quite a while. She wanted a baby boy but they just werent having much luck. So on Tuesday, she gets a call from the agency saying they have a mother who is ready to deliver any day with a baby girl. The mom didnt want to see the baby, know the sex or even meet the parents of her baby. It is a closed adoption. My sister and her husband felt right about it and went to the hospital to wait for the delivery. So INTRODUCING Emma Mae Williams. Born January 7th, 2009. Isnt she just the most adorable thing you ever saw??? I want to steal her. And she is such a sweet baby. She just looks around at everyone, studying their faces. She can already hold her head up. This baby girl is going to get SPOILED!!! We LOVE her!!!

Update...

So Christmas was great! I loved everything we did. My family had a christmas party on the 23rd that was a lot of fun. We exchanged gifts and had a great time. Then on Christmas Eve, me and dall, my parents, nate and april and allie and tommy went to the Nutcracker, which is a tradition we have done since i can remember. Then we ate at Tuccis. The food was great and it stuffed us all. We visited the grandparents and then we spent the night at my parents for Christmas eve.. and the next two night after that. It was a lot of fun but nice to have it over with. The pictures below are at the nutcracker and on Christmas eve. We also went to Dalls grandmas house for their christmas party on Sunday. That was a lot of fun. We played bingo.







I also got to see my Best Friend Alison for the Christmas Break. She is living in North Carolina and i havent seen her in months! It was so good to see her and spend some hang out time with her. We went shopping... our favorite thing to do. I also got to see her anther night at my work Christmas dinner. I love you Ali and It will be my turn to make a visit here shortley!


For New Years, me and Dall went over to our friends Sheldon and Michelle's house for sushi, fun and games. Steph and Randy and Sheldons bro Tim and his wife were there too. The sushi was SO good. Whow knew that we could make some good resteraunt sushi. Thanks Michelle and Steph. We played Scene It... and i got mad, as usual. Then we just waited for the count down. I cant stay up past 11:00 so i was DEAD! It was a really fun night though.
