simple pleasures

My dad took everyone who was at his house out to A&W. Corban drank an entire mug of root beer and his hot dog and fries. Thanks Peggy for the cute picture.

happy valentine's day

In honor of Valentine's Day, here are 14 of the things I love right now.

1. My Man.

(He wasn't cooperating so he gets this picture of himself posted for always and eternity!)

2. Harry Potter.

(Part 2 of the Deathly Hallows comes out right about the time I'm supposed to give birth. I told Joe that no matter what I'm seeing this movie when it comes out, even if I go into labor in the theater!)

3. Crafts

4. Fruit ... this picture makes me hungry just looking at it!

5. Jesus Christ

6. Family

7. Bedtime

8. Homemade Oreos

(I had a plan to make these delicious babies with pink frosting for V-day but I don't have any shortening or apple sauce! Oh, the pain. Now I have to go down town.)

9. Netflix

10. flip flops

11. ice water

12. Zofran

13. Sunshine

14. Corban

(He's excited--can't you tell--because he climbed the rope ladder by himself. )

a little thing called ...

I started writing this post about all the things I'm hating about being pregnant and felt kind of bad. It's a good thing for the delete key. Instead, I'll write the briefest summary of what's been going on.

Joe is working and going to school. I think his schedule finally caught up with him and he's getting sick. I don't think the single digit temperature outside helps anything either. He usually works Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11am-9pm. He also is going to school Monday-Friday. His Tuesday and Thursday days start at 6:30a.m. and don't end until after 9 p.m. I feel bad for him, but I'm still sick and need his help at home. We just started going to a new ward and I think he's praying not to get a calling!

I am sick. I am tired. I gag/dry heave with anything tight, so I spend most days in workout pants or my pjs sans bra! Today neither Corban nor I got out of our pjs and it's almost time for bed again. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and barely starting to show. I look more like I'm overweight than pregnant which is just gross. But I did make dinner tonight so that's a big accomplishment.

Corban has had quite the bought of sickness. He's been getting his molars and with each molar came an ear infection. He's now on the tail end of pink eye. He loves his blankets and wants to go everywhere with all three of them! Our mornings usually consist of me getting us both a bowl of cereal, turning on "Dora" and me going back to bed. He has now learned how to switch off Dora and play Mario Kart. And he's actually quite good.

I couldn't just not leave a picture, so here you go. This is Corban at Christmas time with his great-grandma Beatrice who's turning 100 in February! She was awake but was just looking at us through her fingers (more on her later).

tutu princess

This is the EASY tutu I made for my niece for Christmas. She opened the box, put the tutu on, and didn't want to take it off. She'd dance around the room, wave her wand, and fluff her tutu as she sat down. It was all very cute. And, all the while she sprinkled glitter from off her tutu. Two other nieces came up a couple days later and saw the tutu. They told their mom that it was unfair that Jos got a tutu and they didn't and would she ask me if I'd make them one too. I'd say the tutu was a BIG success.

happy holidays

I'm pregnant and so sick. I'm not throwing up every day buy I'm nauseous and have other things going on that I'll spare you the details on. Baby Beck is due July 24, 2011! Corban keeps referring to it as a girl and Joe thinks only a girl could cause this much trouble, so it has to be a girl!

When I showed Corban the ultrasound picture and told him that this was the baby inside mama's belly, he poked the picture and said, "Oh! A chicken!" I don't think he's quite got the idea yet.
