Happy Birthday Daddy-o!

Dad's birthday was August 25th! Since Mom abandoned him and went up to my aunt Debbies cabin I had the privelage of waking up and making him a delicious breakfast of eggs on toast! Then Dad and I, Kim and her girls, and steph and curt and their kiddos all went to Joe's bbq for dinner.. delish! Thanks for everything you do dad, you are the greatest dad anyone could ask for! I love you!!!!

Happy Birthday Toe-Mas!

Tommy is now the big 2-4! He had his birthday while we were camping so we decided thats the day we would go fishing. (I won't tell you he was the only one that DIDN'T catch anything.. poor guy!) But we had moms yummy pancakes and buttermilk syrup for breakfast, and dad made shrimp the size of a small lobster for dinner! which made up for the lack of fish caught for Tommy :) Tommy is such a great man! He is the first to jump if someone needs help, He works so hard so we can be buying our 2nd house! And he recently just started his last semester of school for firefighting and he has school 3 days a week including ALL DAY SATURDAY! boo.. He is so dedicated and is going to be the best Daddy ever! He talks to and listens to my belly every night already and his face lights up everytime we see our little one on that ultrasound machine :) He can't wait to meet him/her! I love you Tommy! Happy late Birthday!

I found my camera!

You probably didn't know it was missing! But it was.. which is cause for the lack of posting! So Here's what you've missed :) .. We went camping! It was so much fun! My parents and a bunch of their friends took their toy haulers and went up around Big Lake so after work one Thursday Tommy and I headed up. Well, we were about an hour away from the campsite and it was about 8:30 when an ELK JUMPED IN FRONT OF OUR TRUCK!!! are you kidding me!? nope! .. So we had to pry the bumper off the tire so we could drive the truck which is a miracle we even still could drive it! She just jumped right in front of the passenger front (my side, nice!) and knocked out the headlight, broke part of the grille, pushed our bumper back into our tire and cracked our radiator overflow bottle. So we turned around, headed back to show low for the night, then got the truck working in the morning and headed up to camp! We ate way too much, shot guns, went fishing, played lots of games and just had fun! Thanks mom and dad!


by the way, what we thought was not much damage to the truck ended up costing 4300 dollars!! Thank you insurance!

Emotions

So I know everyone says how emotional you can get with being pregnant. And now that I am 10 weeks tomorrow (YAY!!!) I thought I had been doing pretty good... until this week! Goodness gracious this kid is killing me :) I don't know who of you are country fans but it is by far my favorite type of music. So for those of you who are, the house that built me by Miranda Lambert came on as I was driving home from work the other day. I've heard this song many many times and love it. This same line tugs at my heart every time I hear the song but this time I lost it.. "I bet you didn't know, under that old oak, my favorite dog is buried in the yard." I miss my Chedder :( I'll leave it at that. But then TODAY I heard the song I saw God today by good old George Strait and I balled like a baby throughout the whole song! Tommy thinks I'm crazy.. he's probably right! :) Anyway I just wanted to write down a few things I guess more for journaling purposes about how this pregnancy has been so far. Other than still being pretty dang sick everything else is going ok! We go to the Dr tomorrow and will see how our little pumpkin is doing!

SYMPTOMS:

exhaustion
nausea
heartburn
nausea
throwing up
tired
......

DIAGNOSIS:

almost 8 weeks PREGNANT :)

YAY!!!!!! surprise! Tommy and I are expecting! I have been on progestrone and some other meds and on Monday we were able to go to the Dr and we saw a heartbeat! Words cannot express our gratitude and happiness for this sweet blessing in our lives! We wanted to wait till after the first trimester but we were too excited so we are just praying this is the one :) We are due Feb 27th!! Dr. Holmes says since this is the furthest we have gotten and with seeing a heartbeat, (and not to mention the 2-3 times of visiting the porcelain throne a day!) we have a 95% chance of holding onto this baby till we can hold it in our arms! We will keep you posted after our next appointment in a couple weeks to make sure things are still going good!

So long.. farewell

Well its been awhile so heres the latest... we moved! It's a Bitter sweet feeling.. we hated the drive out to our house but LOVED our home! It was our first home :( But we found a renter, packed up our house.. and moved it into a bedroom at my mom and dads! :) We have an offer on another home on Recker and Williamsfield but are playing the waiting game with the bank.. Dang short sales!..

Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving... :)
