Christmas Comes and Christmas Goes

So this year was our first Christmas being married and actually getting to wake up together. It was so nice!! But I wasn't planning on waking up at 3:00 in the morning being wide awake, so of course, I woke Tim up. Hey if I'm awake so is he, it's only fair. So we were both awakw at 3:00 and we played cards until Tim and Penny both couldn't keep their eyes open at around 3:30. Then I just played cards by myself until about 4 and we slept in until about 8.

Puppet Playtime

So yesterday my MIL and FIL and SIL and her husband all went Christmas shopping and left Shealyn, my other SIL in charge of the little nieces; Mikaela and Kynna. We were over mooching food and wasting time so we offered to help out with them. We eventually brought the whole crew to my house which is only a block away, so it's not that big of a deal and we found several ways to entertain them. A while ago while Tim and I were wandering around IKEA, we stumbled upon a bin of finger puppets and hand puppets. We grabbed two different kinds if the smaller ones because you could get more for the 2 bucks that we paid... Anyways, so Tim has been positivley itching to use these for something and TaDa! nieces are the perfect solution. Tim took them up to Mindy's house once and the girls LOVED them. So whilst we were in charge today, we took them out and Tim and the girls played with them. They had a lot of fun and it was really cute to see how excited they would get. Of course Mikaela would tell everyone what to say and that kind of took the imagination out of it, but they still had a blast.

HeartBeats

Yesterday, December 18th, I was officially pregnant well I was officially pregnant before but the doctor's appointment yesterday made it all more real to me. Not only was having someone I don't know down between my knees a less than stellar experience, but I heard my baby's heart beat for the first time. Tim kinda ruined it for me later by saying, " Do you think if the doctor is in a hurry or can't find a heart beat there's a button on the side with a recording of one, just so you don't leave disappointed?" I knew it was real because it was very easy to find, right on top. The nurse practitioner listened for maybe a grand total of 30 seconds before the quick, strong and really loud "lub dub" of my baby could be heard. I was excited to hear it but now it just makes me more anxious to hear it again. I need to find one of those doppler things to take home because I miss hearing the little noise I heard just yesterday. I didn't think pictures of this experience would have been appropriate for something my sister lets her son look at, so there's no pictures for this one. After the appointment I was so thrilled (and starving) that I could barely think. Then of course Tim made his comment about the fake heartbeat and all I could think of was hitting him square in the nose. We went to Chadder's (finally some say) and we were not impressed. Sorry, just not impressed. and it's not just the pregnant girl, Tim was just as judgmental. Sorry for 13.00$ I could make a better tasting burger and fries that won't allow your blood to pump so fast your heart could explode. In n' Out is better I have to say, and to tell you the truth I don't like In n' Out, but really even crappy food could not overshadow my joy in hearing my baby's heart beat.

It's Christmas! It's Christmas Time!

We finally got our tree up a few weeks ago and i've just been to lazy to blog about it and because Tim wouldn't let take any pictures of him decorating it. And of course he won't take any pictures of me decorating it... I don't matter. pity me... please

I bet you can't tell it's the same tree when the lights are plugged in. Oh but trust me it is.

Makeover Time!

okay so let me explain, so this is my AFTER picture because I'm dumb and I have issue with learning how to blog things. So know we know that this is not a very appealing way for me to sit and have my picture taken, let's move on... very quickly. This is Dorthy's AFTER picture, I know the flash is on and it makes her look like it's "MIME TIME" nice huh?

Dothy's BEFORE picture. She's so cute.

My BEFORE picture... GAG me.

This is the stranger I was introduced to today. She was very approachable and very easy to laugh with, and best of all she didn't have man hands... which would be very awkward.

So one day I got a call from a complete stranger asking me if I would like to come over to her house to do a Mary Kay Makeover class. Strangers calling me on the phone, a little fishy and all together just weird. But free makeover and crap to go with it??! Sure! Throw caution to the wind and let my usually present wild side ultimately take over. So first of all we get lost because I'm an idiot and can't read south and west directions. Then we finally get there and it's all awkward because we're the only ones there and I don't even know this person. A normal person's radar would be going off like crazy and they would usually be timid and a little shy maybe. But not me, my caution was in the wind remember? no going back now. I don't know who I made feel more uncomfortable, me or my sister or the Mary Kay lady herself, oh P.S. her name was Angela, nice lady, not really formidable opponent material who I usually end being subject to, Man Hands and stuff like that... long story maybe next time. But all in all it was pretty fun. I will be throwing my own party in a few weeks for a chance to scam some free stuff... WooHoo FREE!!! So here are mine and Dorthy's before and after photos some are just silly because of the flash and I decided to put them up anyways and laugh at them seeing as I'm the only person who ever reads my blog.....:)

Still sitting around at home.

Yes. It's true I am still sitting around at home waiting for a job to call on one of the hundreds of applications that I've filled out but Target didn't even want me so I don't know how much luck I'll have with any of it.

Guess who's in the motherly way????

Yeah so it's true I've got the prego infuego as my husband says. I am due in July around the 10th so it's pretty exciting but weird at the same time. Now all i have ahead of me is nine months of no period, morning sickness and doctors appointments, but we all know that my kids will be the cutest.:)

JOKE

Okay so that new job I was talking to you about earlier this month was a bunch of crap. It was pretty much the dumbest job on the planet. I left Northwest because I was tired of cleaning up other people's messes and having no communication when it came to training, and the new job is the exact same way. So i quit. Now I'm just a bum sitting around at home doing laundry. I need a new job because I can't stand my husband being the only contributor to the marriage.

My New Job!!!!

So I got a new job as kind of a spur of the moment thing and I am kinda learning about what I'm doing slowly, but you know, that's how it always is. I know work at Leagcy Rehab and Nursing as the Medical Records Clerk. It's fun, but there's a lot I need to catch up with. But the good part is that I am no longer complaining about Northwest because i no longer work there!!!! it's really exciting for me and all I can hope is that I'll be able to pick up on stuff quicker so the residents don't get the wrong meds or no meds entirely.... wish me luck!!!!

www.HandbagPlanet.com is having a contest to win a free bag. join up!!!

ending of the circus. by this time the kids were all so tired and crabby, and it just got louder and louder so we were pretty much ready to go home.

Ringling Bros. Circus

The evnhuis's enjoying some family photo op time. Addison was there, she was just too far down.
The Horse Lady The Motorcycle Cage of DEATH!!! I'm not really sure that's what it's called but it should be called that. They would get mor business.:)
Katie and Conner enjoying some snuggle time.
Elephants doing tricks. Do I really need to say anything else?

Opening presents

PennySue opening her presents. Not very effective nor recommended.:)

PennySue's Birthday Shes 5 yrs old!!!

I have had my dog, Penny for a year as of today. I almost forgot that it was her "birthday" today until I was talking about how i came to actually find her. I only have her thanks to a good friend of mine who works at a vet tech school and Penny was one of their practice animals. She's so lovable and friendly it's nerve-racking especially when she decides she's going to run away for a few days with no collar. That's a totally different story. It was her birthday today or at least a year to the day that I brought her home from the vet school and she was mine. Boy were my parents surprised!!:)

THE BYU / WYOMING GAME

Connor, Mike, Katie and Chris baking in the sun for the love of the game. Chris sporting his true colors in the background.
Oh bonding time. Sweet
Lavell Edwards stadium. Miracles sometimes happen here. :)
Connor is so cute with his forever teary little eyes!

Tim went with his brother, Mike to the BYU vs WYOMING game in Provo on Saturday. I think they all had fun they had a big group, Tim, Mike, Chris, Katie, and Connor all went. Tim wanted me to go but I decided against it. I was glad I did when I saw how sunburned they all were when they came home!! I guess that's what you get for sitting out in direct sunlight all day long.:)

My New Couches

So I'm way excited because A: I have something to actually write about and B: I have my own furniture!!! YAY!!! SO anyways We finall got our new couches that we've been wanting for the past few months and they look so good in the front room. We're wondering now if the couches have started a war between my sister and her husband and us because whenever we've been gone for a while, the pillows move from our couches to the old couch that still needs to be moved somewhere. I don't know but I would be happy if someone bought new furniture that looks nice for my house. Call me crazy. I don't have pictures of them yet but they look like Barbie furniture. No not hot pink but, kinda compact and very light weight. I love them though. I'll get pictures up of them as soon as I can.

DAD and DORTHYs BIRTHDAY

Sunday we celebrated my dad's and my sister Dorthy's birthday. We had a really nice dinner and we played Apples to Apples after dinner. It was really fun and even though it isn't technically Dorthy's birthday yet, I'm sure Dad and Dorthy just wanted to rest for their birthday.

As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! 2. Next (if you choose to), re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

St. George Tucker Family Trip

Some canyon visitors admiring the wildlife(mule deer) there were three all together on the banks of the little river that runs through the canyon.

This is part of the canyon called the Narrows.

On the bus and the hike. We all look so cool and sweaty.

Getting ready to hike up to Narrows. We actually we just going to ride the buses that take you up the canyons, but some people(Dustin and Ben) thought it would be so easy to just hike up the Narrows at the top of the canyon. Guess who complained the WHOLE time. Oh and guess who lost thier wallet on the bus, yeah we all knew it was going to happen.:)

MY sexy husband. Oh we all know that we love our own pictures, but he is prety much ridiculous.

Poor Trevon. He was so tired on the way home from hiking we started to drive and he immediately was out. But then again he usually falls asleep in the car. So funny.

We just got back from St. George and boy was it ever warm!!!! As we left on Friday I felt so bad because this would be the second weekend in a row that we wouldn't be home. She kinda freaks when that happens so it just makes me wonder how she did all weekend. At least I know I had tons of fun. I don't have many pics of the family but I do have a lot of pictures of the pretty terrain and Zion's National Park. I love Zions, my sister and I went there for vacation once and we rode horses through the canyon for a few hours. It had to be one of the most fun things I have ever done.

Silver Lake~ Last Day of the Spruces

No one knows the blues like KB(that stands for Kynna Bynna):)

On the last day of camping we went and walked around Silver Lake I think it was the only time I've been up there and there hasn't been snow on the ground in shade. Its a beautiful place. a good place to get in some exercise and see beautiful country in Utah.
