IVE BEEN TAGGED....

10 little known things about me:
1) I HATE cheap people!...gosh there is is nothing that annoys me more than a complete tight-wade, especially when it comes to your kids needs.
2) my 2 biggest pet peeves are dirty dishes in the sink. and putting a new roll of toilet paper on top of the toilet paper rack instead of changing out the empty one (that is just pure laziness!!!!)
3) I talk to myself way too much!! especially since ima stay @ home mama and i talk to a 2yr old. all day. :)
4) nothing bugs me more than woman who stare at my husband when were out in public, because im a tad bit jealous, well maybe a little bit more than tad bit.
5) i hate it when my feet are dirty. i hate feet period except my own, i kind of have this foot phobia (its a long story), but I wash my feet at least 3 times a day even if their not really dirty.
6) I have to put lotion all over every square inch of my body, after every shower i take, or i will have intense anxiety.
7) I have worn the same shoe size since the sixth grade
8) Ive always wanted to be an actress, but ive never really told that to anybody, but its always been one of my biggest dreams.
9) my biggest fear in life is that i wont be a good enough mom or wife.
10) I sometimes say random things right in the middle of a conversation, and I think it bugs the crap out of my husband. i also will start random conversations with him in bed, just as hes about to go to sleep(whcich i know bugs him) but i cant sleep if ive got something to say :)

okay so there ya have it folks..me in a nut shell :)......also update on the baby front...I went into Labor sunday night.. i was having intense contractions that were coming at like 2-3 min.apart so we went to the hospital, they said yes you are contracting pretty intensly (duh?!), but your cervix is not dilated, thinned out, or even soft . to which i answered with another duh!...i tried to explain to the on-call dr. (my dr was on her wonderful vacation this week, GO FIGURE!!! GRRRR!) that my cervix has never dilated or thinned out or any of that stuff with all my pregnancies and that is why i'am having a schedueled cesarean, so anywho to make along story short they gave me a medicine that relaxes your uterus and should stop contrations. well for me they slowed down to 7-8 min. apart, but they have not stopped at all. I informed the other dr. at the practice that I go to of this info. and he told me that if they get to 2-3 min. apart again to go back to the hospital and that if I'm at 37 wks preggo that they would do the c-section (im 35 wks. & 3 days, by the way) or if i have decreased fetal movement or if my cervix is even softened so my friends we will see what happens, because it looks as though Little Chase shall be gracing us with his presence a little sooner than we thought, possibly any day now. so needless to say i'am going nuts with the nesting bug. we just finished his nursery today (which i was so excited about and i will post pics of in a lter blog entry) i washed all of his clothes, set up the bassinett and all that other jazz and i have been cleaning like a mad woman. so with all that said i figure i will end this now. i would like to tag anyone who reads my blog and i will also let everyone know when im going to have this baby...CANT WAIT!!!! love you all!!

off to preschool we go....

what a work of art!!!

there working hard

Coby, Caden and Olivia

Before I post about christmas and the new year I thought I would take a minute and post a little something about my little preschooler. back in september my friend Robyn approached some of us mothers and talked to us about how she used to do this preschool curriculum with her first son before he went to elementary school and how she would get together with a group of moms and they would take turns teaching the lessons a couple of days a week. the curriculum was from an accredited company that actually provides the same curriculum to real preschool centers and daycare facilities. she said the more people we got to purchase it in our group, the cheaper it would be. it costs $8.50/month which is SUPER CHEAP!! considering actual preschool can costs hundreds of dollers each month and the curriculum is fantastic, you get a callender scheduele which shows you what lesson to teach that day and the company provides everything you need for it, including if it calls for a craft it includes everything needed for that specific craft. its so awesome and just what i was looking for. I told Robyn she could totally count me in on it and I also thought it would be cool to do what she did in her previous ward and like take turns teaching it, she agreed, so we have gotten together with 2 other moms and there kids every friday since september (excluding a few here and there) for about 2hrs. Coby has really been enjoying it and I have to say, he was a little hard to teach at first, because he wasnt used to like sitting down and listening to someone teach something, i mean what two year old is, but once he got the hang of it, he has really started to enjoy it. before long he will be going to kindergarten, then jr high, than high school and then my baby wont be my baby anymore :( boo-hoo!! okay maybe im being a little dramatic, but I truly see how he is becoming like a little man and each day how his personality just truly evolves. im curious to see what his little brother will be like. well back on subject we love preschool and right before we took our christmas break i was able to get a few pictures of him during preschool at my house with his friends, Olivia and Caden. enjoy!

Back to Blogging

Hello Fellow Bloggers...were back from our month long, non-updating. we were so busy during the holidays that we didnt get much time to blog during the month of December, which stinks because we had quite a bit going on in December, so without further jibber-jabber delay, I will let you all in on what went on since my last post. First, at the beginning of december I had my baby shower, which was a ton of fun even though out of like 25 people that were invited only 5 showed up, which was mostly due to the fact that we had a terrible ice/snow storm. oh well it was still a blast and pretty intimate and laid back, which i think added to its fun-ness. I would also like to take this time and once again thank Robyn and my sister-in-law Nonie for an awesome party. it was a ton of fun and i sure felt special.....THANK YOU SO MUCH :) I will post pictures of the shower later as i have not received them yet. Second, I had my big 23rd b-day on the 18th. nothing super exciting, I think when you get past 21, birthdays stop meaning anything until you reach "30" which i dont even want to think about right now :) no offense to those that are "30" im just not looking forward to it for some reason. so yeah i even forgot it was birthday until a sister at church like a day before said "you've got a birthday coming up this week huh?" and I said "I do??" and she said "yeah isnt it your birthday on Tuesday?" and I said " Oh my goodness! your right i completly forgot!" ha thats hilarious that someone at church had to remind me about my birthday....well anywho Third, Nate finished his first semester of nursing school!!! YAH!!! im so proud of him he worked so hard and everyone in his class (including the teachers) just love him, i think they mostly love him, because hes the only guy pretty much in the whole program, (besides this other guy whos way older and kind of a goober) I swear everytime i pick him up I can literally see girls walking behind him and practically drooling over him, my sister-in-law is in the program with him and tells me girls practically argue over who gets to sit next to him in class. :) Ha! it makes no difference to these girls that hes married, has a little boy and another one on the way, but oh well i guess thats what makes me special, because i get to call that HOTT!!! man my husband!!! HA! take that all you girls out there "HES MINE!" :) HEHE, so yeah like i was saying im super proud of my Nathan, YOU GO BABE! ....I will post about christmas and the new year in another entry..I have to get my coby-bunny off to bed right now. so I will leave everyone with a few pictures of my coby and my nate playing ncaa football on ps2, which is there favorite thing to do together,coby like totally understands the game and he will get up and dance everytime his dad makes a touchdown, it's REALLY super cute! also i will leave pictures of my belly which is still continuing to get bigger,the pictures are almost a month old and i have since gotten bigger, but i figured my long-distance relatives would appreciate them. I've got about 4more weeks to go "CAN YOU ALL BELIEVE IT!"...im super nervous and i'm not ready just yet, but oh well still super excited!!!! gosh i still have not figured out how to write underneath my pictures. if anyone can show me how to do it. please let me know, i would most appreciate it. :)
