Here we go again!
I figure I'd better let everybody know, because my mom's been spreading the word anyway! (even though it's a bit early) Well... baby number 3 is on the way! I'm actually really excited about this one because it is the first baby that has come planned...well...sortof anyway. I actually wanted to be pregnant a few months ago for scheduling reasons with dallas being in pocatello for school, but it didn't work out that way. I was actually getting worried because the other two were "unplanned" and this one was taking me longer to get pregnant. I know a few months doesn't sound like a long time, but when I was pregnant with Brayden I found out that I may have endometriosis and was told I'd have a hard time getting pregnant ( at the time i thought... yeah right!) So, I was worried that 2 would be the final number. So, I feel incredibly blessed to announce this pregnancy! My sisters-in-law (Taralee and Rose) just had baby boys a day apart! So, now I'm really ready for this baby to come! I haven't gone to the doctor yet so I'm only a month along... i'll let you all know the actual due date after the doctor visit.
Thanksgiving in St. George
We spent Thanksgiving in St. George where Dallas' grandparents live. We went with his mom and dad in the suburban. The boys actually did pretty well with the long drive. Hyrum had his movies to entertain him and we had lots of snacks. It was fun to actually meet Dallas' grandparents. Dallas' mom and I went and did black friday shopping. We started at Kohl's and one waited in the hour long check-out line while the other shopped and then we would swap. Worked-out good. Then we went to Office Max real quick and then on to JC Penny. So, we weren't too crazy of shoppers, but it was fun. Here is a video of how Brayden kept kicking his leg to stay awake:
Brayden's B-day
I was sick the week of Brayden's birthday, so we didn't celebrate it until a week after! He didn't mind.;o) He actually ate the cake and loved it! He's such a goober. He's a very determined, mischevious little boy. He'll go to the tv to push some buttons and look to see if i'm watching then look back at the tv, back at me (with a smile now) and then start pushing buttons! Little stinker! We also discovered that he is allergic to eggs and I'm definitely thinking milk too. I started giving it to him slowly and the next day he had diarrhea, same thing happened when i tried introducing it again once the first round of diarrhea ended. So, we'll be making a trip to see the doctor one of these days. Anyway, we just love him and he is so fun!
Halloween... a little late!
I'm a bit behind, so I'll do a quick catch-up! Here are some Halloween pics. We did trunk-or-treating with Tyrell and Rose and the kiddies. Dallas was a cop, I was a superhero (remember college days here...going to see the incredibles???) Hyrum was a dinosaur and Brayden was a clown.

New Hair... again!
I already said that I cut my hair in Seattle...well...now I've dyed it AGAIN! the same color as last time, which I LOVE! However, last time I had Rose to help...this time I had Dallas! AAAAAAAAHHHH!!! I know...scary! I'd ask him if he saw any missed spots and he would say "I guess not" drove me nuts! From now on...Rose will help me, not Dallas. ;o)
I know I'm weird!
SO..... After going to Kyan's wedding, I really wanted to get "married" again to Dallas. So, a few days after I got home I convinced dallas to play my game. We got in our wedding attire (can't find my vale!!! sad) and watched the video recording of us coming out of the temple. I was certain that there was no way I could ever fit into that dress again!! Well... i couldn't ;op I was surprised that my arms still fit in though! ;o) hehe. So I just zipped it as much as possible and then dallas safety pinned the top. Dallas doesn't fit too good into his suit either! ha! *sigh* anyway I thought the rest of you would get a kick out of this.

Washington!!!
Erika and I made it back from Washington on Monday afternoon. We had a TON of fun...here's the trip details: Thursday....we left around 8am to go to Amber's house. We got a little side-tracked by a "chocolate factory" sign and some outlet malls. ;O) 
When we got to Amber's house we were going to jump out of a box at her (in memory of some college fun) but it turns out businesses just don't keep their boxes anymore..that big anyway. So this is a video of what we did instead. (i had amber's snowboard while she was on her mission...that's what we put on the door step)
Friday...we drove to Seattle and did some sight-seeing...let's just say every where we went people said "you're not from around here...are you?" I guess we stuck-out like a sore thumb! The mountains were beautiful! On the drive Amber read to us from "Mars and Venus on a date" it was very interesting...especially since i'm already married.
We stayed at Erika's old youngwomen's president's house while we were in seattle. They have 2 hilarious children that put on "performances" for us. So fun! Saturday... we went to Pikes Market which I would have to say was our funnest touristy thing we did.
The flowers were gorgeous. We had a funny thing happen too. We were waiting at a crosswalk and some guy ran a red light (slowly) and this older lady stood in the road flagging him down, telling him to stop. Then she slammed her hand on the hood of his car! So, the guy rolled down his window and kept yelling, "lady! you don't touch my car!" he kept yelling it even when she was a block away. pretty funny. Later that day we went to the temple and met Kyan, who was waiting for Rose to show up to do some pictures before the wedding.
Erika, Amber and I did a session at the temple and then met the wedding crowd outside after. Rose seems absolutely perfect for Kyan....very pretty AND funny.
During pictures we had to keep flagging down kyan to get his attention because he kept putting his hand on her neck and it looked really weird for pictures. He eventually got the "sign language" and put it around her waist. Between the wedding and the reception we went and got my hair cut!!! chopped off the nasty mullet that was forming from the last hair cut. Now it is an A-line and I really like it. Now all I need to do is dye it again. That night we went to the reception and met Ashley. She is a friend that Kyan found when he lived in SLC. It's no wonder they are friends!!! She would have fit in with the 206 girls for sure.
We laughed about how similar Kyan STILL is....always calling to go shopping and then there is the process of purchasing a car. Several trips to the dealer to look at it (remember this girls!?) and then the random car honking in the driveway for a ride in the newly purchased vehicle. Well, it turns out he did the same thing when he bought his Lexus...only Ashley was the friend instead of the 206 girls. It was pretty funny. The reception was a lot of fun and Kyan was just beaming! 
Sunday we drove back to Amber's for church. While there, her dad graciously announced that i was married. ;o) Also, Amber's mom kept calling her dad this (what seemed to be) random name! Turns-out it was his real first name, but I decided I'm going to start calling Dallas by a random name...instead of honey! what do you think? Just before bed we played the all-time amber game of assigning a question to a different color of skittle (in this case m&m). It was fun telling old memories... highs and lows of the weekend (i'd forgotten that tradition!). It really was so fun to see amber again! To those of you who are wondering the details of amber, here you go!
*She is still as silly as ever
*Something new: she's very concerned about safety-watching out for someone who might steal something, etc. (comes from her mission)
*She looks EXACTLY the same! No mission pounds for this woman! ;o)
OH! and we watched "the video" with her parents....yes emily!! we did. ;o) It really was a fabulous weekend with my old roommates! I just love those girls. The rest of you were greatly missed! The only bad thing was that Hyrum got sick and puked at 4:30am (on dallas' watch) and then Dallas got sick the day i came home and brayden later that night...so....now it is my turn. Today I had stomach cramps and other undelightful symptoms of the flu. However, it's been a 24hr thing for the rest of the crew, so hopefully it'll be the same for me!
