BaBy!

Less then 11 weeks to go!! It's crazy how fast time has gone! I've finally painted the baby's room!! There's still a little more to do to it, so i'll get pictures up when it's done. I feel like i'm finally getting everything done & i'm so glad! We finally got out diaper bag & carseat, i was so excited to get them, i feel lame saying that but everytime we get more thing for this little guy I get way excited for him to get here!

Oh & we finally have it down to our top 3 names!! So glad! I think we're going to wait to see him & see what name fits best before we pick it

I haven't posted forever, but it's because there isn't alot to talk about lately! We've been stressing out a little because when this baby comes I'm going to quit working for a little bit, I'll go back hopefully soon after, even just part time, but we weren't plannin for this baby & so when we built our house we were planning on both of our income for everything. So Nic found a second job...i'm not going to lie, I hate it. He still works at Keystone Cabinets from 8-3 & then just got on at Gossner's working 4-Midnight. I guess we're lucky because some people can't even find jobs right now, but it's hard not seeing him all the time! So far he's had weekends off & so hopefully it stays that way!

15 weeks to go!!

So it's been awhile since we've posted but there's not alot to write about...so I figured I better get a picture of some kind of "baby bump" on here! So here it is! I'm just over 25 weeks now, which means this pregnancy is over half done! Can't wait to meet this little guy! I started feeling him move around 19 weeks along & now I swear I can feel him doing summer saults! Nic can feel him kick alot...it's a pretty cool feeling, i'm not going to lie tho...it's really weird when you can see your stomach move cause of it!

Now it's the hard part...we are trying to think of names, there are so many! We have a few in mind, we'll probably narrow it down to 2 or 3 and see which one fits him once he's born!

Can't wait to meet you!! :)

It's a BoY!!

We have a baby BOY due Dec. 12! We just found out yesterday it's a boy & we're so excited!! When we were getting the ultra sound he would keep covering up his face with his hands so in every picture we got he's covering up his face! I can' wait to meet this little guy!

....

Need we say more??

Almost in...

The wait is almost over!!! We're trying to get in by the 25th!! Keep your fingers crossed!

AnNiVeRsErY gEtAwAy!

So this past year has gone by so so fast!! It seems like just the other day I was getting sealed to my best friend! I can't believe how much can change in one year!

Thanks for all you do Nic, i'm lucky to have you & I love you!!

Last weekend was our first anniversery...we've been so busy getting ready to move into our house & trying to save money I didn't think we were doing anything, but Nic suprised me!! We went down to Sandy & stayed in the Castle Creek Inn. It was so nice & there was chocolate & rose pedals everywhere!! It was sweet of Nic!

Our bathtub had lights in it that changed colors...it was sweet!

WhY dO wE hAvE tHiS dOg AgAiN?!

Oh Bentley...it's a good thing you're soo cute! He's about 5 months old now, we've always locked him in the bathroom when we go places for a few hours and he's fine because he pees... & everywhere!

I went out of town & Nic put him in the bathroom so he could go to church, I got home while he was gone & this is what I came home too...Nic forgot to shut the closet door & he got into his dog food. It was everywhere....thanks Bentley.

So a few weeks later we shut the closet, learned to take the toilet paper off the holder & put the garbage on the toilet. Bentley was not happy about that, so he decided to jump until he made it on the counter. He did it & knocked everything over & off the counter. Thanks again Bentley!

He usually eats toilet paper or whatevers on the ground as long as it's not his food...I'm surprised this much was left on the floor!

We ♥ you Bentley....please just chill out a little!!

.:rOoFiNg:.

We're one step closer to getting into our house!! Poor Nic had to roof by himself Saturday for like 6 hours! A few days before he was at work using a table saw & cut his thumb...it was bad, he's way lucky he didn't cut the thing off!! But it only took 2 more long nights after work & we got it done with the help of family & friends! We even worked through the rain...I didn't like the ladder so I just stayed on the ground & tried to stay productive!

Our Home!

It's starting to look like a home now!!! It's exciting!! Less then 2 months & we will be moved in! We can't wait to get our own house & have it our own!!

BeNtLeY!!!

Nic has really been wanting a dog...me...I'm not such a fan of dogs, they have always scared me! He wanted a big dog that could live inside our house...& I'm not a fan of that either. So we compromised. We found a little "house dog" that doesn't shed or look like a girly little rat dog...it's called a Chizer. We had never heard of him before, he's a cross between a Chiwawa & a Schnauzer...and he's stinkin cute & doesn't look like either of those breeds!

He likes to cuddle & sleep during the day & then when it's bed time he whines until we pick him up then just wants to play & bite. Joys of having a puppy :)

Bentley!

He always crawls up under Nic's chin to sleep...Nic will probably not be to happy with this picture up on here...so sshhh...it was cute!

Time to Start Building...!

We closed on our loan today!!! They've started digging the hole for our house today & we can't wait to see how fast it's going up! We're going to be SUPER busy the next 3 months!

Over the past weekend we moved into Nic's parents basement to save some money. We didn't realize we had so much stuff!! When we first moved into our apartment we didn't have anything...now we don't know what to do wtih all of our stuff!! The Hyer's home is just up the road where we are building so it's nice to be close while we build.

Tonight Nic & Blake were down pulling all the dead pine trees off the lot...there was about 4 or 5 big dead ones & he said it was alot of  work to get them out. They were down there pretty late, but we're glad they are all out now!

Goodbye Apartment!!!

So this was our very first place together...and now it's time to get rid of our lease & say goodbye!! We want to save money while we are building and so we are moving into Nic's parents basement. It's going to take only 4 months to build at the longest and so we won't be there long! We sure won't miss renting tho!! (No pictures of the bedroom...messy!!!)

Our sweet little kitchen!!

I think this is one of the worlds smallest bathrooms!

Our New Project...

So we've only been married since June of '09 and we thought we'd be renting for awhile. Well we have a pretty good down payment we could put on a house & we've decided it's a good time to find a house. My Uncle is a contractor & told us instead of buying an older home with our budget, we could build & he'd help us do everything & for a good price!! So we've got our floor plans & the lot! It's in Smithfield on 3rd south, which is a place we want to be...we like Smithfield! So i'll keep this updated when we get started on the house, which will be any day!! Can't wait, we're building a house :) Hope everything goes smooth & as planned!

Weekend @ Alex's!

This weekend we went to Alex's house for what he called a BBQ, it was anything but that! He bought a frozen lasanga & made that. It was good but he definently didn't cook it like he said! We played pool, danced & sang all night! It was way fun! Chels, Justin, Cailen, Colton, Alex & Mandy were all there. It was fun seeing them all cause it's been awhile!

Nic was trying to get me to dance with him all night, but sorry Alex, when you put on "Ice Ice Baby" I have a hard time wanting to dance!

Haha my favorite picture! Nic Alex & Justin dancing, I think it was to Britney Spears...or Willy Nelson...they both suck & that's what they wanted to listen to!

Maybe I should have just danced!

Some serious brother love!

    Haha nice smiles you guys! :)

Game Night!

We had everyone over to watch a football game & play games!  Here's some pictures!

We played this game called would you rather & Nic & I had to write "GOOF" on our forheads & hold our mouths open for the next players turn.

Zach, Sabre & there cute baby Zailee came over to watch the college championship football game...Go Alabama!!  It was way fun & hopefully we'll be doing more with them!

haha...this part of the game, Jordan & Randy were on a team. They had to act out stuff we shouted to them for a min! We've never laughed so hard!

Nic & Alex

A couple familys from Nic's mission in Florida have called him & asked to see pictures of him, his twin Alex and his family. So i've posted a few pictures, here they are & now you know how alike they look!
