Time For an Update, don't you think??

We went out to Tooele (to Jake and Shana's house) for Christmas Eve. We (everyone but myself) went sledding right when we got there! It looked like a blast!! My time will come soon enough when I too can go sledding!A funny thing: this red jacket is from what I refer to as my "chubby days". Good thing I kept it around, it really comes in handy these days!! I will explain those days another time.

After sledding we ate an awesome dinner, then we were entertained by all the kids (and a few of the grown up ones too) with the story of the Nativity. Look at that cute shepherd, he is so into it!! ;)Christmas morning. We asked for things for Colby!! Santa is so nice!


We got a Jesus picture too! We were very excited!!Two days after Christmas we headed down to Cali to visit the Whitezell's for Christmas!! We went to Disneyland! It was way fun, even though I could only ride like 4 rides :(I had my own ride though. That's right, we rented me an electric wheelchair!! Trust me, I know that every other pregnant lady there was green with envy over mine!! It was probably the best idea we have ever had!! It was me and all the larger older people on them. This is on Finding Nemo, probably not anyone's favorite ride, it was the only one we used the wheelchair to cut in line for. (All the good one's I couldn't ride on anyway :( so we only had to wait 45 minutes for this one instead of 2 hrs) Sorry Dustin, your eyes are closed :)
Troy was sent away to ride all the fun stuff with everyone else, somehow on every ride, he had the ability to cover everyone else's faces with his hands!!! My dad still refers to him as the oragutang!! He had fun, I just cruised around with my mom, we rode the train, picked up fast passes for everyone, and watched the parade! Always a treat.
So...there you have it! Our Holidays!! It was a lot of driving, which in my current state was not the funnest time. But I love spending time with family!! We are officially in count down mode!!! Only 5 1/2 weeks left! I am so excited, I have felt for so long like pregnancy would never end! Well it will, and I can't wait!! I don't sleep as well these days, sometimes I cry thinking about going to bed, cause I know I am going to be awake again in just a few hours, and I am so tired!! If this is preparing me for when he is here, I'm a little nervous, I guess I should just plan on him never sleeping! We are slowly accumulating furniture for Colby, we are just getting one thing at a time, everytime we get a new coupon we get something new! We picked up the crib today. It's becoming real!! It's weird, there's actually going to be a baby here!

The Belly Chronicles

The day we left Florida. (I thought I was showing)

When we went to visit my family in Cali in September ( I thought I was showing here too!)

At the Pyne Family party. (Finally, I am showing!!)

The picture Shana took. She did a good job!! Thanks Shana!

When we went to Cali for Grandma Whitezell's funeral. (the belly made Tanner stare!!)

And last Sunday decorating cookies with the Pyne's, we thought Colby needed to be in a grandkids picture too!!

Yay!! I only have like 2 and 1/2 months left!! I can start counting down now!!! Hope you all enjoy the belly pictures!

This is a new picture that shows the belly a little better!! Troy thought we needed a better one!

Grandma Whitezell's Funeral

Ok, so I don't have any pictures of the actual funeral, which did turn out very nice. It was nice for the Whitezell side to all be together since that doesn't happen all that often. I do however have some pictures of the fam hanging out at my parents' house. It's not very often that we are able to all be there at the same time, Christie and I always seem to be on opposite schedules for going home to visit. It was so fun to be all together!

Here is my brother Marc and his little girl Chloe. She is a little heart throb! She seriously looks like a little doll. She definately knows what she does and does not like. I am currently trying to make my way to her good side...it's only a matter of time now!!

Here is me and Tanner, Marc's little boy. He is kissing me on the cheek here and we are playing with some nerf guns we got to send to my other brother who is on his mission in Russia for Christmas. Tanner thought we needed to try them out to make sure they work...they do! He was loving taking and posing for pictures. He is such a little ham. He has an answer for everything and an opinion on everything else! He is so funny, he thinks his dad is "so cool" and tells him all the time, he also told Troy he thought he was cool too. He must have been tired ;) Just kidding!! He made sure to tell everyone at the funeral that "Great Great Grandma isn't sleeping, she's dead, she died". He told me one night that he couldn't give me a hug goodbye cause it would make Heavenly Father sad. He is such a funny kid, I love hanging out with him. Also there is one last thing that I didn't get a picture of, the timing was just not right. My dad makes the BEST ribs ever, and we all ask for them when we come visit. He decided that he would make them for us all. These ribs take a very long time to prepare and cook. So he goes out to check on them and they are cooking very slow, so he decides to give them another ten minutes. Well when he goes out to check them again and slather on some bar b que sauce, they are completely engulfed in flames!! Troy saw him open the bar b que and pull one of the flaming racks out. In the end, the bones had burnt into charcoal. No one has an answer for what happened. We tried to salvage what we could which was only about 1 rack (there were like four...I think) We ended up ordering a big steak from our favorite steakhouse in Bakersfield, Tahoe Joe's, and we still served what we could of the ribs. All in all, it's pretty funny-to everyone but my dad. He laughed about it the next day, but that night, we didn't talk about it!! It was better that way :) All his hard work and time down the drain! It was certainly a fun trip, even though it was for a sad reason that we were all together. I will say this, the drive there is not nearly as tolerable pregnant as it was before I was like this!! I can't wait til March!!!!! Oh, and when I asked Tanner if he could see my baby in my belly he just looked at me and said, "my mom has TWO babies in her belly". That's right, they're having twins!! We are all so excited for them!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

This picture was taken at a party we went to the other night. We are Danny and Sandy from Grease, for those of you that are a little confused. Of course we are dressed as what must happen after the movie when they get married and start having kids!!

We went by to see how our neices Makinley and Gentry were dressed. They were a little too excited and wouldn't stand still for any real good pictures, this is what I got!! Makinley is an elephant and Gentry is a giraffe!! They sure do look cute!

Also...This last Friday was my work Fall Party!! It was fun!! The Dr's I work for love competition, so don't worry that for the party they had made up brackets for a basketball and ping pong tournament!! They thought I should play, I decided that may not be the best idea, since I'm not very sporty to begin with, and now that I'm prego it certainly doesn't help things!! Needless to say I got out of the basketball, but not the ping pong, which with my coordination didn't last long.

I've been Tagged!!

6 interesting things about good 'ol me!! Enjoy!!!

1. I can usually figure out and fix computer problems, I don't know why, it's just something I can do!

2. My mom swears I am a natural blond!! Bring it up to her, it's a fun conversation to have.

3. I LOVE Costa Vida!! Even more now that I am pregnant!! I can't get enough of the mango salsa! (that's weird just because most pregnant people I know don't like it while they're pregnant!)

4. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, in the summer, my friend and I had a Harry Potter movie marathon the day before the latest movie came out, then went to the first show the next day!!

5. Troy kissed me on our first date, so of course I thought we wouldn't get married!! Now look at us!!

6. I cry everytime someone gets kicked off the Biggest Loser (this started before I was pregnant, so you can just imagine what it's like now!!)

IT'S A BOY!!!

We found out today that we are going to have a BOY!!! We are SO excited!! Especially since we only had a boy name picked out! So...Colby it is!! We think he kinda looks like Troy :)

There's been a lot going on. I had my "Golden Birthday" (which is where you turn the age of the date of your birthday), it was a good one, we had our first appointment letting us know all was well with the baby! We finally found a place to live and moved in last week, after looking for a whole month! I got a job at a dental office who only needs me for a few months, which works out perfectly since I don't want to work after the baby comes. Troy decided to manage for Apex next year, so we will be leaving another summer, kinda sad, but it is for the best!! Troy got a truck, which he has wanted since the beginning of time. I thought he could have one since he worked so hard over the summer. Jake and Shana got sealed yesterday. It was a beautiful day too!! And...I finally updated my blog!!
