Long time no internet?

So sorry this post is lame but we don't have a internet connection to mooch off of lately. I just wanted everyone to know we're alive and mostly well. Tomorrow's are 1 yr anniversary hooray its Sunday guess we'll be at church and I'll be teaching primary? Hoping for a anniversary band we'll see if it happens. I just think if my ring were bigger maybe creepy smoker men wouldn't flirt with me over the teller line. Even after I say we'll I'm pregnant, hinting for them to back off and go away. Lets see I got a spray on tan the other day its turned out ok. I feel attractive again. Made an appointment to find out our babys gender on June 18th woo hoo. I really had a hard time scheduling with the ONE female doctor and my stupid crazy work schedule. I finally have insurance with no deductible double hooray. Oh and last weekend Jon and I went up to Rexburg. We stayed at a not so super Super 8, but spent alot of time with Destry (Killian) and Riley Hurst. There so great. We got to go to the temple and I realized that I'd grow out of my dress as it felt like I was wearing a prom dress again, bursting at the seams. However the first person I saw in the temple was my first and favorite bishop of Rexburg and I got all giddy and said Hi you probably don't remember me but, he stopped me and said I do with a smile. I love the temple even from the moment that you walk in the door. I've got pictures but no way of posting them yet. Anyway until next time...

New Calling....

This morning our Bishopric 2nd counselor called and asked for me. He asked if I'd be to church 15 min. early. I laughed bc our choister called and asked if I'd substitute bc she had a fever. I gave her a shakey yes I'll try. It was much harder than I expected but only the music majors in my ward noticed. The last song was 6/8 time. I realized I needed to practice things like this for days like today. Oops abit of the subject so when I arrived to church I was nervous to see what he needed. He pulled me into a room and asked if I'd accept a calling. I was baffled I thought I was getting fired from my calling now bc I don't do the best job. When I work from 8-8 and I make a ton of mistakes on the bulletin. Anyway I was released in sacrament and asked to be the new established Primary secretary. It was funny to be in primary today. It made me realize how much I need to learn to deal with children, I was even sure how to start to communicate with them. I am really excited and grateful for this calling I feel like it will help me grow and prepare me for this baby. Even though we only had one boy in primary today, I did the singing time. I tried to remember all my favorite songs that had actions bc this 7 yr boy was pretty hyper and we had to keep him moving to keep his attention. Jon is the young man's first and only counselor for the one young man. Our ward is pretty unique any of the family are some what in inactive and most of the actives are old or newly married several have babies. Just wanted to update everyone.

Happy Birthday to ME!

So yesterday was my birthday, thank you to those that remembered shame on you those that didn't or were too busy celebrating something else silly like a 5 yr. anniversary. Kidding kidding. First off I went and got a facial it wasn't the best I've ever had but it was nice and then I went shopping at downeast and wanted to buy everything in sight. I bought this outfit except the capris. Wendy may have this same black shirt that has two buttons and ties in the front. But it looks really good on me :)...and her. From there I ran to get a maternity massage. And it was super fantastic. Then I came home and Jon had done the dishes and the laundry. I got ready and we went to Layton Hills mall where he pretended to go look at a puppy in the mall for my birthday. I told him I'd kill it if he got me another one. Ok so maybe not really kill it but I'm trying to sell the one we've already got. Then we went to Teppanyakis and waited for a couple from my ward and Amanda & Beau. Everyone got along really well and our cook was hilarious. I kept laughing sort of delayed and he'd stop cooking and give a weird look. Then everyone else would start laughing. He threw shrimp that we were supposed to catch in our mouth and when he got to me he threw like three at once. Then as everyone was talking about the good food, I had decided my stomach couldn't handle the atmosphere. After a bathroom run we ran to Coldstone and got this amazing cake the kind that taste better than Baskin Robin's ever dreamed of. My was devil's food and oreo ice cream with whip cream frosting half an oreo on each slice. With little pieces of chocolate on the outside. Jon picked it bc I didn't think I'd eat any, but I did and to my dismay the whole honkin piece disappeared. Everyone sang to me too. Our friends were nice enough to let us come over host and let us all watch the Jazz game even though they lost. Mom sent me a nice card with a nice check, Amanda gave me a singing card and good cookies and a generous target card, Wendy and Charee sent me maternity shirts from Shade clothing which all looked cute but scarey to think I'd soon fill these out. All in all it was pretty much the best birthday I've ever had. The relief society left me a cute card and a bunch of my friends wrote me, Ashley left a singing voicemail :) Today we just chilled at home. We almost went and saw the Narnia II but neither of us were feeling very well. Thanks to everyone who remembered or those who thought of me. I just wanted to spoil myself and never expected all the gratuity. Other than that works the same. Mother's day was nice and Jon got me three cards one from him, one from the baby, and one from Baxster it was pretty fun even though I wanted to shoot him for spending money on 3 cards. Jon's doing good and getting better at his bike tricks. He has been letting young boys ride his bike and coaches them. I'm glad he has something to do while I'm at work on Sat. Baxster is still Baxster and is apparently too fat to sell. Because no body wants a 13 lb puppy, at least thats the impression I've gotten since I almost sold him twice. Until next time.

Oh Baby...

So this last week on Friday May 2nd to be exact, we went to the Circle of Life Women's Center in South Ogden Utah to see our baby for the first time. Our visit was with a mid-wife who seemed knowledgeable. It was a very nice clinic and the wait wasn't bad at all. We got a little first trimester gift bag with magazines, coupons, and some graphic pictures. The ultrasound was amazing I don't know what I was expecting but she just stuck the roller thing on my tummy and bam there was our baby up on the screen. We both kind of stared in awe. And then she pushed a button and we could hear a swooshing noise. She said this is the heart beat which was 165? I think? Everytime she measure him on the screen it showed up 12W 4D so I guess I'm only 3 mo. along! I was sure I was like 14wks, not. So anyway I told her I've been super sick and have been throwing up several times a week. She said she imagined it would get better soon, what was I thinking I should have demanded the Rx right then. I just said oh you think so, ok? She really stressed to me that I needed to be getting alot more protien. Something I'd almost ruled out of my diet. Now I'm trying to eat more so we'll see if it helps my blood sugar levels. But I'm comtimplating calling her and demanding a Rx. I didn't tell her I was working full time and feel like I'm just bearly able to function. I guess we'll see.

Jon's been a really good sport about everything. Dealing with an emotional, moody, sick wife who has lots of demands (but only cause she feels sick or else she'd do them herself). He came with me to the prenatal visit and enjoyed more than I did I think. Took me out to eat after for lunch, where I just basically watched him eat. He's done the cleaning and the cooking. I'm really hoping to feel human soon. Jon also didn't shoot me for volunteering his service on his day off Saturday. He helped some people in our ward move out their son/daughter from another apartment. To my surprise he brought back a cream leather couch that reclines! And it has cup holders in the middle. Fun huh, so now we have two couches and a rocking recliner and no space. Oh the best thing was the other surprise a long black wooden end table that looked like it could have come from Pottery Barn, its really cute. It was really funny mainly because it was unexpected but I guess they were going to throw them away. We love our new couch and sit in it often. Last night I said it's funny that someone's trash is now our treasure. I'm reclining right now and as I type.

So we finally came to grips with the reality of having a small dog in a one bedroom apartment. I really can't handle it bc the mess and the smell is enough to send me to the bathroom these days. I've put him up on KSL for sell we'll see if we can't get some money out of him before I end up just giving him away. I really do love my dog, he makes me laugh, and still is semi cute. But I could probably use the money now. Speaking of money we still haven't gotten our tax returns and I'm wondering if we'll be getting the stimulus check before the returns. I wonder who I call to complain, I like to do that. AT&T may now have a number that routes all phone calls from our #'s to some complaint hotline. I have to call them every month bc they totally mess with their customers and try to get away with it. I've shared some of my feelings with them.

Well have a good week. I'm trying to figure how to get my pictures and DVD yes I got a DVD of my ultrasound and every time I go back they'll add to it.

These months aren't going fast enough...

So last weekend we went to the third or fourth mission reunion. I stopped keeping track unfortunately I think as long as we live near Utah we'll be going to this awkward event. Just kidding it really isn't that bad, it gives Jon some reminscing time and theres usually good food there. I also really like his mission President & wife. They act like I'm some relation to them. It was neat to meet some people I hadn't before and hear stories that I hadn't before :) And also hear stories I'd heard lots of times before. The mission President spoke for awhile said he was so proud of his missionaries and that found that what he's missed most is the boys themselves. He also went on to say that he believes that's because it was easy to like them and that he never was even close to sending any of them home. I suppose thats good huh. President Williams and his wife gave us a porcelian danish ornament as a late wedding present. Which made me think of collecting ornaments that will have meaning to us. We went home to find out the high way was completely closed to construction and had to take back roads with everyone else. It was sort of stop and go for quite a while. Work is going ok for me, I'm just struggling get up in the morning forcing myself to eat something, then running off for a long day of whinny members. But I'll be getting awesome insurance next month through them so I need to stick it out, since apparently we make too much (which I am still unaware of) to qualify for medicaid. My naseau is deffinitely spreading out. I can't tell now when I'm going to be sick bc some mornings I feel great and others like this morning are not. I got to go to my LDS coworkers babyshower. It was really quite fun and funny to see what I might be recieving in the future. They had the cutest idea of buying plain onezies (I have no idea how thats spelt) and paint for each guest to decorate. Jon's been working hard and playing hard both of which I appreciate. As the weather is warming up Jon's been riding his bike alittle more. He's been dragging along his friend's brother which I love bc the kid needs better friends and Jon likes to try to talk him into being alittle more missionary ready. Recently Jon drove an hour to Evonston, WY which is an hour away to ride his bike just to find out the skate park was filled with snow. So they just did a few little jibs here and there. Still shooting his bow and figuring out how he's going to come back with a kill his very first hunt which has yet to be planned. I think I'd probably laugh if he really did come back with
something.
Baxster played with his girlfriend "Bella" alot last weekend we're hoping there aren't any puppies in the future bc we were told being so young they could turn out retarded, we've keep a better eye on them since that weekend. We can't deal with any more dogs around here and if they were retarded I don't know what I'd do. Thats about all I can think about that has been remotely interesting lately.



Baxster hates baths, but we try to stick to once a week. After a while there's a funny smell about him.





















He lies on his back all the time. Here this is caught on camera. When he first started doing it we really got a kick out of it. He's asleep in this picture.

Jon's Car That Nobody's Ever Seen

I just thought I'd post a picture of Jon's newest vehicle. I realized that nobody has ever seen it. Its a Kia but I think its fun and if it wasn't a stick I'd totally drive it all the time. This was taken in the school parking lot where they're working/building right now.

Needs A Big Picture...

I'm thinking about blowing up this picture to stick in my 40' X 30' frame. Or do you think this will be too mushy. It's my favorite of us and the temple we just happen to be kissing.
