O christmas tree

Yes, our PINK tree. I LOVE IT! That's just me. Kade is so wonderful, he doesn't care a BIT.

Thanksgiving Weekend

I have had an interesting/busy week. I was scheduled to work Tuesday, and even though it was blizzard outside I drove to work. Kade had told me he wanted to drive me, but I thought it's just snow. Well on the way to work I drove through so many drifts that I almost got stuck 3 different times! So after working 2 hours the branch got closed down due to roads being closed. Even the mall closed early that day. I called Kade, his work was closed because the server went down, and waited for him to pick me up. I was not going to attempt to drive in that weather again. It was a total whiteout (scary).

I ended up working the next day though, and it was busy due to being closed the day before. After work that day Kade and I went and watched Harry Potter with some friends and had a great night out. We went up to Terreton that night, we drove below 50 MPH the whole way because the roads were so terrible.

Thanksgiving

We had a very busy day on Thanksgiving. Around 5 am I woke up and was super sick. I couldn't sleep and was very miserable. I asked for a blessing and was able to fall right asleep and I have felt great since.
We ended up eating tons of food at Kade's parents house. After hanging out there for a while we headed down to Blackfoot to be with my family. In Blackfoot my family played some basketball and ate pie. Kade and I ended up going and having a meeting with my doula and learning how to prepare more for the upcoming baby. We then traveled home, we both had to work the next day. It was a great day for FAMILY!

On Black Friday I went to work, it was SO slow. The branch ended up sending me home around 2. It was a funny week. I have never gotten to go home early, and it happened twice in one week. So I met up with my sister-in-law Shyla and mother-in-law and we went black friday shopping. I had a lot of fun, and I didn't spend very much :D

Yesterday we went tree hunting. And got ourselves a beautiful tree. And I plan on putting it up today! Yeah, for Christmas decorating.

Christmas Tree Hunting

I am SO excited for Christmas this year. It will be our 2nd Christmas being married, and our first with baby Bingham.

Last year Kade went Christmas Tree Hunting without me. I had to work. :( This year was different. He had me come along, even being 9 months pregnant. We went with his sister and her 5 kids. We got stuck, didn't get done till dark, what an adventure.

I even got out of the pickup and went trudging up the hill with everyone. Look at the big ol' hill we climbed.

I didn't end up going the whole way up, or picking out the tree. Kade did a great job. He picked out a great one, chopped it down, and drug it down the hill. WHAT A MAN! It was a work out for me, very cold, but a wonderful experience.

After being out in the cold, we enjoyed some hot chocolate. Shyla thinks of EVERYTHING!

We had the pleasure of having Kaitlyn *Kades oldest niece* ride with us. IT WAS SUPER FUN!

After we went over to Shyla and Tony's for some dinner. Kades parents ended up joining the fun as well. By the end of the night everyone had had fun and we were all POOPED!

CUTE little Emma :D

38 Weeks

Every single day I think to myself "this could be the day". This could be my little ones birthday. And every single day, I get a little more discouraged. I know, I know it's not even my due date yet. I just feel like it's almost time. Plus all the signs that labor is near has happened. I am always having braxton hicks these days, which I hate, only because they are not REAL contractions :( And I sit and time them and hope they will turn into the real thing. Okay, I am done ranting. I went into the Doctor again, and not much has changed. A little bit has though. At least I'm progressing. I am now 50% effaced, and he said about 1 1/2 cm dilated. So at least I have changed since last week. I have gained a total of 37 pounds, which seems like too much. Anyway that is this weeks update. He told me he would see me next Monday, which seemed to me like he wasn't expecting me to go into labor yet....but we will see.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

So Kade and I spent most of the day with other people. I had a baby shower and he worked on the house. When we finally got to be alone, Kade decided to take me to dinner. We went to wingers. I really like that place, plus it's cheap enough that we can afford a nice filling meal. We really enjoyed each others company. I love going on dates with him, we try to go once a week, they are wonderful.

When we got home we ate some of the top tier of our wedding cake (tradition). I thought it would be gross, because most everyone I talk to said so. But it tasted fresh, and was so yummy. It was a white cake with raspberry filling. Last year the only cake I got, got shoved up my nose. By the time we got a chance to have some cake it was already GONE! It was really good, so I wasn't to shocked. I was only shocked because it was our wedding cake and nobody saved any for us ;)



The little collage of the cake before and after we cut it. It looks good for a year old :D



Kade Enjoyed It



So did I, and the baby :D

Thanks for the Fun babe, Love U

1 year down, forever to go. YaY

BABY SHOWER #2

My wonderful and best friend Suzi threw me a wonderful baby shower! Thanks Suzi CUTIE! We didn't have a huge turnout because the snow was CRAZY. There was snowflakes the size of snowballs falling. So only those who lived fairly close came. But it was a fun time.

This was takin from the window...crazy big flakes HUH!

I just wanted to say thanks to all those who came and made my shower so much fun! And also for all those who put so much work into it. And also for all the awesome stuff I got!

1 Year Anniversary

Holy COW!!!! The year has flown by. (our little one could be here any day) I must say that I love my hubby more than I did when I married him. I have learned so much in one year, a lot about compromise. There has been plenty of ups and downs, and lots of faith on both of our parts. I thank heavenly father everyday for blessing me and allowing me to have such a great person in my life. It truly has been wonderful. We still act like we got married yesterday, but I hate being away from him for even minutes. So I just want to tell Kade and the whole world how much I love him! Thank you, for making me a better person every day. Thank you, for teaching me what is most important in life. Thank you, for helping me hold on when I don't feel like I can take anymore. Thank you, for choosing me to be your eternal companion. I LOVE YOU MR. KADE!
