Baby belly

It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that we announced that we are expecting and now we are in our last trimester. I don't have anything for our little pea yet. My relief society brought over an early gift after we moved into our new place. So for now that is the only thing I have for her. Luckily I really don't need much because i still have everything from Tennis. Just some clothes , a pack'n play and a few blankets is all we need.

She is so much more active than Tennis was at this stage. I swear there is always some little foot, knee or even head sometimes pushing against me. I can't wait to see what she is going to be like. She has already turned. It is a little early. But the doctor said that isn't bad. She probably will shift a few more times before she settles for good. The only bad part is her kicking me in the ribs.

We draw a baby on my tummy for Tennis to see. He gets so excited. He will point to the face and the eyes and my belly button. He is going to be such a good big brother. I just hope that I will have the energy to give him what he needs the first few weeks. I'm sure it will all work out fine.

I will post some pictures later this week of my now dominant rounded tummy.

Happy Valentines Day

I just thought I would say Happy Valentines Day to all the women that I am lucky to associate with. There are so many things to be grateful for in our lives but the women that love, lead and are always there for us are one of our greatest gifts. So to all of you thank you and have a great day!!!!

American Idol Highlights

Robbie Carrico

First highlight was my initial favorite. Anyone who sings Lynyrd Skynyrd has my vote, and he performed great. He may not go far, but I gotta keep my hopes up. We could use a new rocker like this lifing us up.

David Archuleta

Of course, he'll be a favorite for a long time. And what great taste in music eh? Best part about this performance was the back up singer in the background crying.

Michael Johns

Great voice control. I was a little skeptical about his style at the beginning, but after hearing him sing Bohemian Rhapsody I was sold. Anyone else prefer his version of this song over queens? I do.

Josiah Leming

What a sweet performance, that song fits him so well. Too bad he messed up the next one, but hey maybe they'll still hang onto him. I sure would.

Brooke White

Here’s another very worth contestant, hope she goes far.

February is here

Well February is already here. Can you believe it. It is a busy month for us. We have our anniversary and Chad's birthday. Hopefully it doesn't snow on our anniversary or on Chad's birthday. We enjoy the snow, well I do. But it is nice to have some sunny days that we can open our windows and doors on to get some fresh air moving through the house. We are just getting anxious for spring to come.

I normally don't post about books but I just finished Inkheart by Cornelia Fourke. It was such a fun book to read. Granted there was sad parts in it. Of course a good book isn't good without the struggle between good and evil one way or another. But for those that enjoyed Fablehaven, Leven Thumps, Harry Potter and other such books I would highly recommend reading this one. It was engaging, easy to read and incredibly creative.
