Here you go Tawna

I told Tawna that if she would post pictures of her house (since I've never seen it and don't make it to Syracuse very often) that I would too. Well she finally did so here are mine.

The yard is a work in progress we finally have our sprinklers ordered or what ever you would call it, the guy has the plot plan and is getting everything for us.
Auni's room, she was actually sleeping in it when I took this. And don't mind the big rubbermaid I've been cleaning out all her clothes that are too small.
Deeg's room, and as you can see he was sleeping too. I couldn't get a good angle on his so you can't see very much. It drives me nuts that his furniture doesn't match and that its not really decorated but I am lacking vision for his.
Mine and Clint's room, the bed spread actually has the same floral print on it as the shams but last night Clint flipped it because he gets sick of flowers :)
Master bath, sorry about the bad angle again. The shower and toilet are in a little room on the right which I love because in the winter I can shut that door and not freeze.
Our first big tub!

Entry way
Front room
Family room, notice the empty book shelf on the left, I just got that today and now have to figure out what to put in it.
Kitchen

Mud room and Laundry room (this is the view coming in from the garage, and there is a powder room on the right)

New Baby Boy

Sorry for some of your anticipation, it was so obvious to me I can't see how you could miss it! So yes most of you were right its a boy. I get my official ultrasound on the 10th so I'll post some better pictures of him then. And off the subject I just want to say thank you again for all the thoughts, prayers, love and support through this last week. You don't know how much it means to me and my family. And a special thanks to Loreli, Maranda, Aime', and Marla for helping me with my kids and everything else, Love you all!

Our Sad News

My oldest sister Jody passed away Saturday night in the American Fork Hospital surrounded by her family. She leaves behind four children, my nephews and niece, Jason, Jordan, James, and Jana. It has been a heartbreaking experience, as they also lost their father just 2 months ago. I just want to thank so many of you for your prayers, thoughts, calls, and loving support throughout this experience. Her viewing will be Wednesday evening from 6-8pm, and the funeral will be Thursday morning at 11am at the stake center across the street from my mom's house (sorry I don't know the address).

This is a picture of Jody and Deegan on Halloween 2 years ago, he absolutely loves her and has had a really special relationship with her. Every time we go to my mom's he is sneaking over to her house to get a Popsicle. It has been really hard to explain that he can't anymore because he doesn't understand. She will be dearly missed by all of us, but I couldn't be more grateful for a testimony of the plan of salvation and the comfort that it brings.

Test your Ultrasound Skills?

So this isn't the best picture, but I got to have a sneak peak ultrasound today to see if we could find out the sex of our baby. And we definitely did! Can you tell? If you already know, you that do know who I am talking about, don't spoil my fun! :)

Happy Birthday Auni Boo!

Auni is officially 1 year old. She got to have two parties this year because much to her detriment her birthday fell on the opener of the deer hunt (archery), heaven forbid! Those of you whose husbands hunt you'll understand, so don't have babies in August or September(which is when Auni and Deegan's birthdays are). So her Daddy, Grandpa, and all of her uncles on my side were not there. So we had a party with just us girls and all her cousins. But so Clint didn't miss everything we also did cake the night before he left. She was such a sweetheart the whole time she couldn't have been any cuter. Except she wasn't all that interested in opening her presents because they were mostly clothes (which I asked for so i was excited!).

Auni eating her Birthday dinner, we had Lop and she loved it. For those of you who haven't been around my family a lot its a sticky rice and chicken dish that my brother learned to make from one of the families in his mission who were Laotian.

K i'm really embarrassed about my re-growth in this picture, I told my sis (who does my hair) that this is all her fault for being too busy to do it! I mean seriously how hard is it to get your kids ready to go back to school? ;)

One Year Ago Today

Happy Birthday Auni Jule! This is where we were one year ago today, I went in for an induction at 7am and Auni was born at 1638 or 4:38pm. It all went really well except that she had shoulder dystocia so she ended up with a really bruised face. She weighed 8lbs 14oz and was 19in long.

Definitely NOT one of my favorite pictures but today is all about Auni!




This was after she had gotten her first bath (which her aunt taunya did) and came back to my room.
Deeg holding his new sister for the first time. He was so cute with her and she absolutely loves him. She is NOT a snuggley baby but he gets more hugs that clint and I do!
This was her hospital picture, (thank you tawna and ellen for making sure it was better than her first one!) and the outfit we took her home in. She has been such a sweet girl clint and I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute with her. We are having her Birthday party tonight so I'll post the cake devouring pictures later.
