Lots to Post!

This never happens! I have alot to blog about!
Our Shed:
We finally have a shed! A few weeks ago we had a "barn raising" is what we called it, and of course it was on the day that we had winds blowing 70 mph! Well I don't really know how fast it was but it was a BAD and NASTY day! My dad was planning on finishing it that day because we had lots of help..... but plans changed and they only got the walls up. I felt bad for them to have to be working out in the nasty wind so I'm glad they quit when they did. Well my dad has been coming over every other day or so and finishing it up! And I can finally put all our stuff in it!!!!!! Yay!!!! He did a great job on it and I'm so thankful for him doing it for us.


New Carpet!
We have been waiting and saving for carpet and we finally were able to get it! And oh how nice it is! The entire house before was all wood floors. They were nice, they just really needed to be refinished. They are the original wood floors from the 40's (i'm guessing) which means that they weren't any good for insulating and it sure showed last winter in our gas bill. So our goal was to get carpet by this winter and we did it! It is so nice and the house seems so much more homey(is that a word?) It also doesn't get quite as dusty which is great. I think just about every night when we are home and just relaxing one of us has to mention how much we love the carpet! Its great and so comfortable. It will also be so much better for a baby. Just one thing to say.... Vacuuming is way better than sweeping in my opinion!



FHE Halloween Party
Every year we have a family FHE halloween party. It's lots of fun getting together with everyone. We sing our usual halloween songs, carve pumpkins, and eat the gross halloween food that everyone brought. Here's a few pics of it...

Baby Update!
Everything is going great! I'm 18 1/2 weeks. We find out what it is going to be here in a few weeks and we are so excited!!!! I just want to be able to call it he or she instead of it. Also I felt it move last week!!! I felt a little twitching feeling and I keep feeling it more and more as the days go by. I was really unsure if it was the baby at first but now i'm pretty darn sure thats what it is. It's so exciting to be able to feel it and i'm excited to feel the large movements!

Unbeatable Deals!!!!!

So yesterday I had a Dr. appointment in flag. Everything was great but that wasn't the high light of the day. We went to Old Navy and they had a sale on shirts. Nothing great for women's but TONS of polo shirts for men! They were all $1.99 each! I had to double check with the lady there so that I wouldn't get my hopes up and it be the wrong shirts or something, beacuse I always do that. Well they really were $1.99 and I couldn't pass it up! I think I bought like 11 shirts for Andrew.... all the shirts they had that I knew he would like. I figured... For $1.99 why not!!!! When I got home I told him to sit down that I had a suprise for him. I started pulling shirts and more shirts out of the bag and he told me "Uh I think you spent to much I don't need that many more shirts." So I made him guess how much I got them all for and he thought I got them on sale for like $6....... NOPE!!!!!!!!!!! $1.99 each!!!!!!!!!! I only spent $23.00 on 11 shirts! Usually one shirt costs that much! Anyways if you are around an Old Navy anytime this week stop by and see if they have there sale! I don't know how long the sale lasts!

Just A Post

Well not a whole lot has been going on lately. I guess thats why I haven't posted in over a month! We did paint our living room on saturday while watching conference. It was fun and the room desperatly needed it. I really want to get things done before we have the baby which I know seems a ways away but I have a feeling that it is going to come alot quicker than we think. We are working on building a shed this weekend in our back yard. All I can say is YAY!!!!!!!!! Our poor baby won't have a room if we don't. Maybe we just have too much stuff. Oh well I'm just SOOO excited to have a shed!!! If I get some pictures I'll post them, hopefully next week.

Everything is going good with the pregnancy. I'll be 16 weeks on saturday!! I'm glad that the "being sick" stage is pretty much over. I wasn't ever really sick and I never threw up, but I just felt yucky which is still not fun. And also I am very excited to get out of this looking fat stage and finally look like I really am pregnant. So that means I probably won't post any pictures of me until I am actually looking pregnant. It seems like it is going by pretty fast but yet at the same time pretty slow. When I see how much farther I have to go it seems like forever but when I look back on the whole thing, It has just flown by! We get to find out what we are having in about 4 weeks and we can't hardly wait. We are so excited!!!!!

Well thats about it. I say this just about everytime I post but hopefully I'll get another post on here soon!
