Catching up

During this las school semester we had our lap top stolen. Sadly this had all the recent pictures from June until September ish. So the pictures in this post are of cell phone quality.

June was a very exciting month for us. Ethan's parents came to visit and we found out the sex of our beautiful baby... A GIRL!!! Ethan and I were in aw. As if it wasn't real enough already, being able to see her flip around in there. We were havinga little girl all of our own. Because Ethan's parents were in town visiting at the same time as the scheduled ultrasound they were able to join us and see their 5th grand baby live in action. What an all around awesome experience! Truly a blessing.

July 1st was a wonderful day as well. Ethan's side of the family welcomed another new baby. My third niece baby Aizley Lyn was born perfect in every way to Ethan's older brother T.J. and his wife Camry. Needless to say Ethan and I can't wait to me her. Also this day in July. Ethan felt our baby girl move for the first time! He was so excited he jumped up on the couch and did a little dance. It happened while we were watching a movie (7 days in utopia). Good movie by the way. Every time we hit a milstone like this one it becomes more and more real. We are going to be parents! These are the beginning memories that we have been praying for and waiting so patiently for ... What seemed like eternity but now only a short glimpse of time. How grateful I am that our Heavenly Father has us in mind. He knows us, loves us, and has a great plan for us. And waiting on our perfect little girl was worth it in every way. Even though we hadn't met her at this time we knew she was going to be one of the best blessings in our lives. She had already caught our hearts. At the end of this month my sister in law and best friend both welcomed their 2nd baby. What an amazing experience it is to be able feel the joy of a new life so pure and innocent.

August- was also an exciting month. I started into my third trimester. The second was a breeze. And some wonderful best friends of mine thru me Ethan and Fiona a baby shower. I say Ethan as well because he's pretty big part of this family but definitely was not interested in going. Because of the perfect timing of the shower my mom was able to make it down. This was so great to beable to share with ner. To say that our parents are excited about this baby would be the understatement of the year. As for Ethans parents... Well they're pretty excited as well. This will be their 5th grandchild and 3rd one this year.

Ethan started his 3rd semester at MCC. And has decided to persue a career in Construction Management.

September- A side from finally finding out what day I would be moving from working nights to working days!!! Ya Hoooo. My dad came to visit. We took the opportunity to relax and eat... A LOT!

October- It came and went super quick. Thank goodness because I was getting uncomfortable.Switching to days definitely will take its toll on a 36+ week pregnant lady We were blessed this month by my coworkers who so graciously thru me a 2nd baby shower. Ethan and I finished the nursery this month. We cut it right down to the wire. But it turned out perfect! Ethan did an amazing job designing and creating Fi's armoire. Towards the end of this month. The girls and I had a girls night out. We saw a terrifying movie (trying to get into the Halloween spirit). Upon arrival home I had to have Ethan meet me at the door in case something was out side to get me. I tried to evict Fiona by taking castor oil... Twice and then running after Moriah and Mels kiddos at the zoo. Only to wake up the next day more tired and still with child. That night, October 31st Ethan and I ate lots of sweets and had a blast trick or treating with the Carrs, Roggias, and the Powells.

The last few months in a jiffy ~ Part 1 of 2

Did you know that a jiffy is a real measurement of time? As I typed that last sentence out I could hear my sweet husbands voice in my head saying those exact words! HAHA I'm not really sure how quickly a jiffy passes, but in regards to this post its gonna be a lot of pictures from a long period of time in a short sweet and to the point blog post... Maybe not short. With my history thus far of not posting when certain events happen, I don't think these pictures will ever get up here if I don't just cut to the chase. So With out further or due... Our lives from December 2011 through March 2012

January 2012- Ethan's 23rd Birthday

1st off Presents :)

Breakfast Before heading to Austin for a couple of days

The Texas State Museum! So COOL!

And finally IMAX  3D!! TORNADO ALLEY

In February 2012 Ethan and I made a wonderful trip to the Dallas Temple. Took a couple of pictures. But I don't so much like them so we'll move right along to the next February event, Valentines Day.  We've been able to see a bunch of wonderful musicians from purchasing our season tickets to the Waco Symphony Orchestra. This month was no exception. The performance was amazing! We saw Chris Botti and incredible Jazz Trumpet player. We started the night by getting all dressed up and going to our favorite non high class and totally casual restaurant Newks. Then settled into our seats at the Grand Masonic Lodge for the show.

One of the restaurant workers totally thought Ethan was as stud in his suit

After taking 3 rounds of clomid it was again that time to test for 2 little pink lines. I was against it (testing this early) from the start but that's what best friends are for. With a little convincing and a couple of threatening statements from ... I won't name names (cough cough moriah) we headed to the drug store to pick up the box that would later determine our destiny for the rest of the year. March 1, 2012 Ethan and I found out I was pregnant. Because of the past events we decided to keep it a secret until we knew we were in the green zone.

 Waaa HOOO!

For Ethan's Spring break in March 2012 we headed back to Arizona. We decided to make the long drive so we could take Farley along. The main purpose of this trip... To help Dad Eagar finish some remodeling projects. And of course we had some fun while we were at it!

Ethan helping his Dad rip down a dividing wall in the front room

I sat on the couch and managed the situation (little did the fam know morning sickness, or all day sickness as I like to call it, had started to set in). 

THE WALL

HARD AT WORK

WORKING HARDER

HARD WORK PAID OFF ... NO MORE WALL

The fun ! Horn huntin' in the White Mountains

We didn't find anything, but did see a bunch of elk, deer, and wolf tracks.

I would say that pretty effectively sums up December through March! What a crazy few months those were. Reflecting back on that time, there is one word that comes to mind... BLESSED. Ethan and I have been so blessed with the constant and continual support of our Great Friends, Amazing Family, and Loving Heavenly Father. We are thankful everyday for all that we have been given.
