Hey...she can't ALWAYS be so photogenic!

Summer...remember this one!?!?!?! LOL!! Me and Nathan DIED when we first saw it. I think she was mid-sneeze or something. Gotta love it!

Here's one from today...I was trying to take a cute pic of me and Kaylin to send to Nathan....Oh man he's gonna get a good laugh I hope! I swear 2 seconds before I took this pic she was smiling!

Well... It's Time!

Apparently you aren't cool unless you post "25 things" about you. So I guess it's time for me to be cool. So here goes nothing...
1. I am pregnant with accident #2....I'm pretty sure all our kids will be accidents.
2. Nathan is a foot and an inch taller than me.
3. I really don't have a favorite color...if you asked me what my favorite color was once a day, it would be different everyday.
4. I HATE talking on the phone!
5. I am so scared to give birth again! The last experience wasn't too great so I'm very nervous to go through that again!
6. Most of my conversations during the day involve either Nathan, Kaylin, or my pregnancy.
7. I LOVE coffee flavored ice cream.
8. I gained 40 lbs when I was preggo with Kaylin and lost it all in less then a month! I'm crossing my fingers that it's that easy with this baby!
9. I've lived in AZ most of my life and have never been to Mexico.
10. I still pick my nose and don't realize I'm doing it until someone walks in on me and then I get really embarrassed. (now that everyone knows I won't have to be embarrassed anymore!)
11. I love Coke.
12. I seriously had the best childhood. I hope my kids will be able to say the same thing when they grow up.
13. I've only broken one bone in my life...my collarbone after flying out of the back of my dad's truck.
14. I don't yell when I'm angry...usually I cry.
15. I really am NOT an animal person.
16. I am NOT a runner....although I do pretend I am sometimes.
17. I AM a copier. Most of the craft I do are from copying someone else. I'm pretty good at it.
18. I'm really scared I won't love this baby as much as I love Kaylin! Although I've heard over and over again that I will.
19. I was going to school for Dental Hygiene in my past life...I hope I can go back one day...I promised Nathan and my mom that I would finish!
20. I hated living in Show Low when it started getting cold!
21. I cried one time when I was sick and my mom told me I couldn't go to school the next day...and Jana took a picture of me crying on the couch...I ripped it up.
22. I really miss Jana. We were finally becoming friends when she died and not just fighting sisters.
23. I am SOOO grateful to have such awesome Sister-in-Laws!! I love you all!!
24. I am so proud of Nathan.
25. I love being a mom. I feel guilty I've been so lazy lately.

This was a lot easier then I thought it would be....I could have gone to 50!!

Christmas 2008!

All ready in her Christmas dress!
I love this pic!
Well of course these downloaded out of order...but here's Christmas morning. Kaylin threw the baby doll that was in this stroller in that box right behind her and then started trying to get in the stroller herself. I guess she's not done being the baby!
She had to take a break after opening all those presents! She just laid there for like 3 min...(that is a LONG time for Kaylin to just sit there)
Of course she was more interested in the wrapping paper then all her new toys.
Nathan opening his stocking!
Kaylin carrying her stocking around. We had to show her that the bear came out and there was more inside. She was perfectly content with just carrying it around like that.

We were very blessed this Christmas! I am so grateful for our wonderful families!

Wildlife World Zoo

The day before Nathan left for basic we went to the Wildlife World Zoo with my mom and dad. It was a lot of fun. I'm glad we were able to go do something fun before Nathan left. Kaylin loved all the animals! It was so fun to watch her!


She was trying to lick the salt water off her hands! Gross!



She kept hitting her head on the glass trying to get to the fish! It was so funny!

She didn't want to leave this part!
In the petting zoo. You can tell she kind of didn't know what to think at first.
But then she warmed up to the little goats.
Nathan just shaved his head that morning and Kaylin though it felt so funny!

Well Nathan's officially gone. He ended up leaving the 31st instead of the 30th which was nice for me since We got to have one more date before he left. It was so hard dropping him off at the hotel. I'm not gonna post any pics of that. I'm sure you don't want to see a bunch of pics of us crying our eyes out (well mostly me). This has definatly been one of the hardest things I've had to go through. I'm just trying to take it day by day and trying to find things to do to occupy my mind. He should be home around my birthday which is April 11th. So hopefully it comes quick! One week down...13 more to go!!
