Easter 2012

The saturday before easter we went with my family and had lunch, dyed easter eggs, and the annual family easter egg hunt at my grandma marlene's house. We haven't had many family pictures so i had marlie take some and then some maternity ones as well, but not a lot. It was fun to be with the family that was there and be able to spend time outside. As you can see Ike made the purchase of the little mans first hunting outfit...we'll see how long it takes him to fit into and how chubby he is and gets by october to see if he can go hunting with dad. On sunday we spent the day with Ike's family and had dinner at grandma and grandpa williams' and then had a easter egg hunt. Ike felt pretty important since how he got to hide the silver and golden eggs and it took them forever to find the golden egg. Overall it was a good holiday and good to think about our Savior and everything which he did for us.

Baby "W"

I know most everyone knows by now that ike and i are expecting and i am not very good at updating my blog about it as you can tell. It has been quite the journey we have gone on so far and the farther along i get, the more he loves to practice his punching and kicking (which doesn't help with the number of trips i make to the bathroom) and the more real it is becoming to me. It is crazy to be sitting at work or just relaxing on the couch and feel him moving around and being able to see it. Ike loves to lay in bed at night and put his hand on my belly so he can feel him moving around. We haven't got much bought so far, we do have quite a few outfits, diapers, a recliner, and finally decided on what color to paint the room, purchased the paint and will hopefully get it done soon and get a crib purchased as well. We've got a couple of names picked out and think we have finalized on the one and just got to figure out the middle name.

This little guy of ours loves whopper eggs, coke (especially from taco time w/ their awesome ice), mexi fries w/ casa sauce, mack's fries w/ their fry sauce and just about anything from a fast food restaurant on most days which i am sure is going to do wonders on my figure. I just will have to make sure and stop eating the way i am once the babes comes and start doing some for of exercise. haha On a healthier note he loves any kind of fruit and yogurt!

I am going to try and be better about keeping my blog updated about the baby and how things are going. I have another doctors appt this thursday and we'll get to hear his heartbeat and check to make sure everything is going okay. :)

My Valentine Surprise!

It had been a long day at work and i was anxious to get home, ike had said he had something planned but i had no idea what it was. I went to my parents house to pick up tyke, where my mom proceeded to show me all the baby clothes she bought that day on one of her many shopping sprees and then talked to me for awhile after. I didn't think much of it, but once i got home and saw what ike had been cookin up and puttin together it all started coming together. He hadn't been home very long and needed some more time in order to get everything done so he called my mom and told her to stall me as long as she could. Well his plan all worked out because once i got home dinner was on the table with all the works! Thanks so much love for everything you do for me and our future little family, you are always so thoughtful and go above and beyond what you need to do. Love you so much!! <3

First Christmas!!

Oh how I love Christmas and the hectic day that it is and all the time you get to spend with your family. My siblings wanted to open presents at my parents house at 430 so ike and i got up around 415 and opened our presents from each other and then headed over to my parents. Pulled in the driveway...all lights were off, the door was locked adn there was no way of getting into the house. I called the home phone and my dad answered and he came and let us in and i went downstairs to wake the rest of them up. We opened presents there and then headed to ikes parents and then home to get ready for church. After church the whole day was packed with running from grandparent to grandparents house trying to fit in the time to see everyone. We ended the night at my grandma connie's house for the annual christmas dinner, which was delicious!! Need i say more we had a pretty eventful day and another year has come and gone so quickly and i can't wait for the many exciting things that are going to happen in 2012. :)

my christmas: clothes, shoes, perfume, curling iron, bathroom stuff and much more!

New and Improved

We are officially home owners (we have been for awhile but i am just gettin around to blogging about it). We ended up finding this house and knew we would be able to have the room to grow with a family in it and couldn't pass up the price. We had been wanting to buy but wasn't sure if it was the right time or not and kept going back and forth if we wanted to. We would go and look at houses and then forget about it for a couple of weeks then go and look at houses again. This seemed to go on for a couple of months until we finally decided we didn't want to rent anymore and really liked this house. Right now it has three bedrooms and two baths finished with another one of each in the basement that can be finished. It for sure won't be the last house we buy or build, but hey ya have to start somewhere and sometime. So if anyone knows of someone looking to rent a cute little house that has had updates done, let me know and i can get the info for the guy we rented our house from.
