Baby's Room

The babies room is finally i think ready. Everything is ready for her to come except her i guess. I keep thinking i need to leave my house messy or think of something that isn't prepared and then she will come. . . jk it is all good. On Thursday the doctor said I was at a 2 and 70%, so anytime would be great. But until she comes I thought I would post some pictures of her room and all the help I have had. A couple weeks ago my sister came up and helped me paint. It took us all day to do one wall and then the next day Trav and Beth did the other two walls in a fourth of the time it took us. I must have not been much help. Bridger and Brynlee also came up and it was so fun to be with them. They are such good kids. While we painted the walls they painted some CTR rings that we found in Desert Book. They turned out pretty good. Trav has been really good to help get her room all ready even though she won't be in there for a little while. Everytime another box would show up on our porch he would bring it in and get it put up so fast. It is so nice to have a husband that can just do everything, he is my little Mr. fix it. He is all ready being a true dad because he thinks she has way to many clothes and things already, so we are in big trouble because what he doesn't realize is she will grow out of what we have so fast. I took a picture of what i have hung up, and Trav says she is already like her mother and has too many clothes and shoes. Shoes are my weakness and i have brought her some cute ones. Anyways it needs a little more work, but we are good for now. Thanks Beth again for all your help. It was so fun to spend the weekend with ya and get me all ready and prepare for this little angel to come. So hopefully next time we post it will be picutres of her. Wish us luck, Trav is going to need all the help he can get...jk He is going to do great.

Our big accomplishments

Ok so these big accomplishments of Trav's and I are not that great, but we were both proud of ourselves. I accomplished making yummy homemade wheat bread all by myself and Trav caught a fish. For Christmas Trav's parents gave us a nice wheat ginder, wheat, and all the supplies to make Peggy's yummy bread. I was excited but then made the mistake of telling Trav I couldn't make the bread unless i had a nice Bosch like his mom's. So my birthday rolls around and guess what i got. Yep, a nice Bosch to make bread in. Trav was so excited. When i was opening it he said, "This is the gift that keeps on giving. . . well for me." So I thought well i better learn how to do this i have no excuses now of why i can't. So i went over a few weeks ago and Peggy taught me how. I wrote down everything, because i really wanted to get it right. Then last week i attempted to do by myself. And it went really well, and the bread tasted great. I took some down to my family and they loved it. Trav was the most excited, he is a bread man and almost ate the whole loaf. They don't look as good as Peggy's do, but hopefully with a little practice i will get it down.
We went down to Malad last weekend for the last trip down without a baby (thats crazy). We had a great time just hanging out. While i went and got a pedicure (thanks heidi) Trav finally got to go ice fishing. He has been wanting to go, and Bridger is really into it, so they went up to Crowthers and Trav caught the biggest fish. Bridger was showing him how to do it and then said Trav lets try a new whole and Trav pulled up a 16 in rainbow. He was pretty proud and Bridger was mad that he let Trav take the new whole. They had a great time!

Prego Pictures

I know it has been forever since i have posted anything, but every picture i have, i just think i am too big to put that picture up on the blog. I have lots of friends prego right now and they are all posting cute pictures of themselves, and well you know how it is i just feel huge. Trav keeps saying your pregnant you are suppose to be big (he is ready to have his non pregnant wife back). But Beth sent me some pictures from my shower in Feb. Jake has been wanting to see what Heidi and i look like big and fat together, so we took this horrible back to back picture and emailed it to him, and all he said was that was the sickest thing i have ever seen (he didn't get a very good Valentines package...jk) It has been fun to be so close with Heidi in our pregnancies and to see how much we really do look like each other is it crazy. The picture of Brynlee is so hilarous, she has been really into this pregnant thing, and is always touching my tummy and talking to baby E. The other day she came into Beth and said, "mom now i look like Hailee and Heidi." (Notice the toes pop, she is miss model, and the bad thing is kids are so honest, and she really thinks we look that big.) She is so cute. The rest of the pictures are for those of you who won't leave me alone about posting pregnant pictures. I took the one yesterday so you have been updated and i hope to not get any bigger. She is still moving a lot though, so I am afraid she is still growing. . . but thats ok. We just hope she is doing well and can't wait to see her. Trav is really getting excited, and I am so glad he is going to be the daddy of my children because he has really been into the grandkids lately and is so good with them. Life is good, we are excited and ready for life to begin with this new little angel coming our way!!

Gotta love him!

Celebrating our 1 year anniversary!!

I couldn't believe that we have really been married one year already. Trav and I decided to save some money and just do something close to home, and save and do a trip or whatever later. I just waited to see what he would plan and he was hoping i would do it of course. So we both went to work on Monday, July 21st, and when i got home he came in from the farm and said get ready we are going to eat. It was so fun we went up to Island Park (which is the same distance as going to Idaho Falls but much prettier) and ate dinner at the Trout Hunter. It was so good, we recommed it. Then Trav took me on a tour to see some of the cabins he helped wire this winter, which was good to finally see where all those late nights were spent. Then we took the Mesa Falls way home. What a beautiful night. The falls were so green and beautiful and the sunset was amazing over the farm fields and mountains. It was so nice to just spend some quality time together and not focusing on work or other stresses. The other pictures are of the day before. My mom bless her heart saved the top of our wedding cake and brought it up to us. So we popped open a little bubbly and enjoyed some of that yummy cake that we only got one bite of on our wedding day. It was so fun, and Trav was sick after, either because he ate so much or because it was a year old.
What a wonderful 1st year it has been. I love Trav so much more each day and look forward to celebrate many more years. And all those people that told us the 1st year was the hardest well i hope you are right, because if that is true then i look forward to the rest, because i loved every minute we have had together. Travis is so good to me, and works so hard at everything he does. Marriage has created in me a larger appreciation and understanding for our Heavenly Fathers love for us, because of the plan that he has created for us to be together forever. I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!
