New Baby !

Michael and Adrienne had their baby boy last night . He weighed 7lbs.9oz. 21inches long. He is SO cute. He looks just like Michael. He is a very pretty newborn, perfect little features. Not the typical newborn "look"!
Her labor went fairly smooth. Total of about 5 hours I think. We are so excited to have a new baby in the family. His name is Drew, they haven't settled on a middle name yet .

Happy Thanksgiving

Emily is all ready and waiting on Andy and I to go to Honey and PawPaw's for Thanksgiving.

We had a great Thanksgiving with lots of food and laughter. I love hanging out with Andy's family. I love them all and appreciate all they do for us. I am so thankful for them and their love and support!

Too Excited ......

We are moving to this house in 2 wks. We have had this in the works but didn't want to say anything to anyone until we had everything figured out .
Andy's cousin Mandy (not blood related)called last week and said her husband took a job in Las Vegas and they had to move. They don't want to sell their house because they are planning to come back in 2 years. Long story short , they had been praying about what to do and so had we. We have to move out of our house and we haven't been able to find anything in this same area. We ran into Tom , Mandy's brother last week while we were out looking at rental homes. He apparently called her and she immediately called us.
The house is 4000 sqft on 24 acres on land. It has a pool out back .....YaY I'm getting a pool !! Andy, of course is on "cloud 9" because they have to leave their animals. 4 horses and 10 cows. The house has so many awesome things that we will be very blessed to use ! We can't believe this will be our home in 2 weeks. Now you all better be coming to visit us, this house will be so lonely with our little family. We are planning on having lots of pool parties. There is also a double tree house that is so big it is connected by a deck in the middle with a zip line . There is a separate mother in law apartment above the garage........So get your airline tickets now :~)
We have to switch Wards which will be hard, I like our Ward , we have lots of friends and family that we will miss. Now we will be in a Branch instead of a Ward so it's a lot smaller . I am nervous about moving Emily. She has been so aware of her home and the town we live in . She could probably get to all "our " places by herself. The town we are moving to is called Slaughter (I know awful) there isn't even a grocery store so our actual town that we frequent won't change . Slaughter is only about 5 miles from here . BUT ........I'm nervous about her saying to me "we need to go home" ! We have been talking to her about it and telling her about the animals and that she gets to have chickens and horses now. I was packing last night and she said to me "mom, what are you doing to this place"? Sorry the pictures aren't too clear but I will post more once we move in!

My new favorite Holiday decoration

The picture isn't too clear but this is a glass block with ribbon and a window cling. You can change the ribbon and the cling for every holiday. Isn't it cute ? Click on the picture it will enlarge it for a better "view" !!

Gramma's visit

My Mom was here this week. We had fun going to all our favorite places and making our crafts. We made Christmas hairbows and flowers. She even helped me make a dress for Emily. I did sew most of it except she did the ruffle on the bottom. It turned out SO cute.
Emily had a lot of fun with Gramma this visit. They colored, read books, and played ponies! Mom got her this awesome Ponyville set , Emily plays with it a ton. We discovered this new store here in town called Dirt Cheap, we got some awesome deals.


My Mom is the greatest. She went all out on Emily and I and got us our Christmas while she was here. I'm SO thankful for her and the relationship we have. She is truly my best friend.

Cake Walk Winner!

I won this Monster Cake at the Ward Party -- This thing is (was huge) I swear it weighed 8 lbs. We ate a few bites then down the disposal it went !

Cool Cakes !

I made the coolest cake for the ward party. Looks like dirt but it's not !

Halloween 2009

Here she is......wanting nothing to do with her school party . Notice her costume hanging in the background?!

We are so over halloween, well I am anyways. Emily wanted to be a Purple Butterfly. So we got her all set for Halloween and OF COURSE she wanted nothing to do with the actual Trick or Treating experiance. She is a afraid of everything. Do you know how hard it is to avoid scary houses or kids in masks on Halloween night?
She didn't even want to wear her costume for her school party or participate in any of the games or anything. Maybe next year !?!
