MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone, I got to talk to my husband today. Well I IM'd him yesterday and we got to skype last night at like 1130pm and then he got back on at 900am our time and watched us open a few gifts. He only had 30 mins but it was good to see him. He got a package from his parents today which he was excited about it was two new movie and a book. Which he watched I think both the movies today because he had the day off.  He also got my package last Saturday, and a package from the VFW here in New Plymouth that had a bunch of cool stuff in it. He loves getting packages and letters. I write him a ton of emails but i should be better at sending him some snail mail stuff to just so he can get some things in person. 

My Christmas was good, I got a rice cooker (which also steams veggies and will also do fondue). I got three movies, letters to juliet, when in rome, and santa clause 3. And I got a new hair straightener, it is pink, silver and white. And my final gift was a book I asked for on CD which I can use in my new car now. Yes you read that right I bought a new car, mine is on it's last leg the check engine light came on and it needs several new things, which would cost all to much to fix. So I spoke with Casey and we decided to buy a new car now (new to us not a NEW car) instead of waiting til he gets home. So I went looking and then took my dad with me and I bought a 2007 toyota matrix. It is bright red and only has 38,000 miles on it. I have driven it two days and love it already. I can't wait to bring our little girl home in it. Oh and for Casey to see it, I sent him a picture but I would like for him to drive it and give it the final okay. 

isn't it cute, I love it!!

I am getting more and more nervous about the baby coming, it is getting close there is only 7 weeks left til she is due to be here. I just hope that she stays in there til Casey comes. I have a bunch to do before she gets here, my mom and I are going to start on the nursery this week. We are painting it a light grey color, and I have a bunch of stuff to finish (i.e. curtains, a few blankets, a nursing cover, and a few other things.) I am excited though I think it will turn out really cute. :)

These are some projects I have been working on. 

This is a baby blanket that I am making for a lady at work she is expecting a grandbaby. When it is finished, it will have a cute light yellow back, and yellow trim on the front. I think it will turn out cute!

This is a John Deere blanket it that I am making for Adelyn I have another one that is pink and the John Deere green color. I will post pictures later. :)

Oh I got the best gift from Casey a few days ago, the military has a program that lets service men and woman video tape them reading a book and then they send the book and the DVD home and I got one on Christmas Eve. It made me cry, it was so sweet. I love it, Casey says that he will get to do several more and this way Adelyn will know what her daddy looks and sounds like. It is a special thing that the military is doing for families something that brings him a little closer, even though he is so far away from home.

 This is the book he sent, I don't know if you can read it but it says "to my darling baby, from your loving soldier daddy, Love you!" How cute is that!

Well I have a Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday, and then I have them every two weeks until she arrives. I love my dr. and trust him totally. He said when I am a month out, he will let me know if I can have the baby naturally or if I will have to have a C-section. We will see, I really don't care as long as she comes and is healthy and safe. I think that is about it right now, I will try and take some pictures as we make progress on the nursery. :) Love to all!

A little Pre Christmas update...

So I have just been busy working and trying to get the Christmas shopping done. Casey has been in Iraq for almost a month now, we get to talk every once in awhile we don't get to skype very much but we do get to talk more than I thought we would so that is a good thing. 


I am now 32 weeks pregnant it has seemed to fly by. My pregnancy with a little hitch here and there, it has been a great. I have been lucky, I think it is God's way of making it a little easier with Casey being gone. 

This one is of me with my hair all done and everything

This one is me in my pajamas and no make up and my hair not done but it is a tight shirt so it gives you a good sense of how big my belly really is. :)

So this week is Christmas, and the next is my Birthday, the next is my baby shower and the next is my maternity pictures so I will have quite a bit to blog about in the next few weeks. And after the next 4 weeks I will only have 4 weeks until Adelyn gets here, and Casey will be here. I can't tell which one I am more excited about. 

This is our Christmas tree this year, isn't it cute! And the snow man on the left I got from my work Christmas party. 

So my sister in law Coree made my little Adelyn a cute little flapper hat, I love it! Well I think that is it for now I will write again soon!

Snow snow snow...

So I got off work last night at 9pm and didn't get home until 1025pm yep an hour and a half drive home. The roads were horrible, and it snowed all night, I had to cancel my Dr. appt today cause there is no way I'll get up the hill here to get to the freeway. I had to have my dad park my car last night, and he barely got it off the road couldn't even get it up the drive way. We have atleast a foot, I went outside to take pictures of Tage, and I sunk to my knee. So here are the pictures from our snow day, and the last picture is of my diaper bag that I ordered from this military wife in Utah she put it in the mail yesterday but posted a picture so I stole it, they have a facebook page called hold your hero, they make purses, bags and diaper bags. He husband is also deployed and she had a baby right before he left. So it was nice to talk to someone that was going through the same thing. I love the bag and can't want for it to get here!

We really bundled Tage up he didn't have snow pants so we put sweats, and then slick pants over the top he had a turtle neck, and a hoodie sweat shirt, and a coat. He Loved the snow, it was so cute!

His gloves are a little big, he had ones that fit underneath and then stole a pair from uncle Bo.
