9 weeks left...

It finally warmed up here and we've have been enjoying being out side. Saturday we got the ducks out and John had the bright idea to put a chain link fence around an old tramp so the dogs wouldn't get the ducks. He is so funny, he spent a couple hours sat and sun just playing with them. lol! Here he is trying to herd them into the little "pond" he had for them. Sortly after, her discovered that they loved the water hose, so he put a spinkler on the end of it and left it in there and they would just stand under. it was pretty funny to watch.

The other day I meet up with some old roomies and went out for lunch! It was so fun catching up with them and talking about the good ol days single at college. I miss those girls. You wouldn't believe how much has changed in just in two years time. Addie and Sumer the girls on both ends, both have little girls and alaina, the one to the left of me is pretty much engaged to her boyfriend.

I got the garden all ready and am hoping to plant some time this week if it doesn't end up storming all week like the weather channel says it will. I started what I could inside and they are about ready to be transplanted outside. I love gardening. John calls me a little hobby farmer and he also makes fun of me cause I grow all these things in the garden and I don't even like to eat most of them :)

Other than that, I've been some what getting ready for our little girl to come, I dont know if you can ever be fully ready?! I need to finish making a few things such as her crib skirting and curtains but I think I'll wait for my mom and sisters when they come to visit to help me finish up. :) Lucky them!
And finally, here is a picture of me last week at 30 weeks. Time is going by so fast, and I can't believe we will soon have a little addition in our home. We are so excited to meet her. She continues to grow faster and faster and I can't believe my stomach stretches this far. haha. I am almost to the point that I want it to be over, but ever one keeps telling me the worst part is just getting started...oh great!... I'm sure it will all be worth it though right?! She kicks and moves all the time now. I loved it when you'd feel these soft pokes come from inside, but now she kicks or something and I am like OUCH! that hurts...John just thinks its great! He loves watching and feeling her move, its cute.

SpRiNg...finally!

For spring break, my parents and my sisters came down for a visit. It was so much fun. I was glad they were able to come for a visit. There wasn't a whole lot to do cause it snowed pretty much the whole time, so we did some shopping, ate out, swam, went to the hill climbs and than went down to Utah for a few days to hang out with more relatives.

Cal Ranch had there ducky's out and we thought they were so cute, So cute that John and I bought 4 of them a couple weeks later.

Now we have these little additions to our family!

These are our turkeys that we are raising for thanksgiving! :) There are only 2 still living though... our little niece thought the turkeys needed swim lessons so she put them in the ducks little pond and well you probably can figure out the rest...Good thing she is cute! :)

I told John that the ducks were his graduation gift. ;) Oh ya, John recieved his Associates degree from BYU-I. wahoo! I was so proud of him for finishing it out.

My amazing husband got me an early mothers day gift. He put this awesome stock on my gun. I LOVE it! seriously, not kidding its like my favorite thing ever! He is the best!!!

Sunday was such a nice day-there aren't many here it seems like, so when it is, you have to take advantage of it. We took the dogs down to the river. They love going down there. I'm so excited for summer time and hope we have a warmer summer than last!

The black lab would not stay in the truck on the way there, he was seriously so excited cause he knew where we were going. haha, as we were going around a corner on the gravel road, the dumb thing feel out cause he was hanging so far out. haha! luckly we were going slow enough that he didn't get hurt.

John is squintin pretty bad in this picture, but its the best we can do with a self timer. I'm 27 wks in this pictures, even though john is covering my belly or i should say, trying to cover it!

And for all those who enjoy seeing my belly grow...HA! I hope someone does. Here is a pictures of me last week at 26 weeks. (haven't taken any this week yet) oh and if you look at the bottom of the picture, there is a sneak preview of what this little girls quilt/bedding is giong to look like. Its coming along...

Snow day anyone?

While the weather was doing this outside....

I was finishing this inside....

I was so glad I finally finished it. I was a little worried that it wasn't going to turn out how I wanted it to, but I LOVE it! I am so excited to put some bows on it and hang it up on a wall!
Here is the process it took to make it, it really was pretty dang easy.

We had a little visitor last week. We kept smelling him around. John set a trap inside the pig barn hoping to catch the skunk...well he did! John thought he wouldn't be able to spray in there when he first set the trap. We realized real quick after he was caught that he had plenty of room to spray. Oh my nasty, did it stink we were like 10 feet away trying to look at it and it sprayed. .. i swear it got in my mouth. haha, its was so gross. John was going to take it out back and kill it , but after that little experience he got as far away as he could, but was still able to see it and took care of it...

Thats all we've been up to in the last week...now i'm just hoping for SpRiNg!! My family is coming into town in 3 days and we are SO excited, maybe they'll bring the warm weather with them?! Cross your finger! :)

Every chance John gets, he always wants to go coyote hunting. Though they might not have the best luck most of the time, he still really enjoys it. Here is a picture of Chantz and John the other night after Chantz killed this coyote.

As for me, every chance I get i'm thinking of baby things I can make. Keeps me pretty busy! This is a bow holder I have in the makings.... Its hard to tell how it all works out now, but I will be sure to post more pictures as I get further along.

This cute little camo set was from my parents. Once we found out that it was a girl, John said that we'd probably have to take it back since it didn't have any pink on it...I fixed that problem... :) Now John approves of it. haha! I love the ruffles on the bum...I just need to think of a few more ways to add pink to this camo. :)

. . .and here I am at 21 weeks. It feels like every day i get a little bigger and bigger. She kicks all the time now. John has felt it quiet a few times and he loves its, so ever day when he comes home, or when we are just sitting around, he'll randomly asks, is she moving? its cute...sometimes annoying, but cute! :)

Its a GIRL!

We are so excited. Since I was a little girl I always thought i'd have a boy first, so i was a little suprised to find out its a girl, but we are SO excited. Johns a little worried now that he will be over powered with a mini me running around...i think it'll be good for him. :) Our appointment went great, the baby is healty and is a constant mover. Now the fun begins...time to go to the craft store! YAY!

BOY or GIRL?

Which do you think it'll be?

Tomorrow we find out what we are having!! We are so excited. It feels like we having been waiting for forever to find out.

Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to this last month...

John's little brother Luke entered the MTC, he will be serving in the Phillippians. We got to go down to Utah with some of the family to drop him off. We are sad he is gone, especailly John, but we are glad he is such an awesome example to us!

I don't know how people get John and Luke mixed up all the time-maybe cause i'm married to John i don't think they look that much alike, who knows....

The kid is addicted to MT. Dew, he enter the MTC with a 24 pack...I bet he made lots of friends :)

I have finally been able to use my snowboard passes this year. My friend Jessica and I went up last friday. It was amazing! haha. There was powder and the sun was shining! I even got a little sun burnt haha

This year has been such a sucky one for snowmobiling...It has been a bad year for avalanches up here and the mountians have been socked in almost every weekend when we get the chance to go or the snow is rock hard, so its not worth going...I am actually quiet bummed because of it. But we've gone up twice in the last couple weeks for short rides just cause I hate watching our sleds just sit there getting no use out of them! haha

And this is my latest creation. Ever since Christmas time i've been rather tired of doing crafts. I finally got around to creating something again. For Christmas I got a jigsaw and a cordless screw driver, so i've been anxious to use them. I wanted to make some sort of Easter decoration, so I started doodling around and this is what I came up with. It was so easy to cut. I am very very impressed with myself! haha!

I will be sure to post tomorrow of the next day to let everyone know what we are having! :)

. . . JaNuArY. . .

Well the end of January was been pretty busy. For two weeks I was up in Washington. My Grandma Anderson passed away on the First of February. She was such a sweet lady and will be missed, but we know she is in a better place! Here is a picture of my family at the cemetary. I was so glad I was able to go visit my grandma before she passed.

My mom took all of us girls to get manicure and pedicures. It was so much fun! I have to admit i'm going to keep getting manicures cause i haven't chewed my nails since. Big accomplishment for me!

Well here is a picture taken last week of me at 17 weeks. It doesn't really look like I have anything there yet...but I am getting chubby. Even John said today actually that I'm in the fat stage now....what a meany huh! haha
