These songs ruin Christmas.

Whenever I hear these songs I get so irritated and I want to throw my Christmas tree across the room. They should be banned.

Oh yeah, did I ever tell you about that one time when my Dad told me my Grandma Stringham would love it if I got her one of those singing stuffed animals that sings "Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer" Yeah... I gave it too her and she wasn't so sure about it.

She re-gifted it to my little brother Wyatt the very next year.

But seriously these songs ruin my Christmas cheer because they are so obnoxious.

I love this.

Isn't this such a precious picture? It's Scotty with his Mom and Sarah. Scotty looks so cute! I hope our little boy looks like that :) Scotty's cousin Terra posted this on facebook. Last week marked 10 years since Scotty's Mom passed away. Since being married to Scotty I definitely feel the eternal connection we have with her. It crazy that I met Sarah and Scotty only like a year and a half after that. Time flies! I love family.

Fabric Freak

I am like so obsessed with searching online for fabric right now. Why? Because I saw this one piece and I was like holy crap. I have to have that for this little boy's nursery. I want to show you what fabrics I will be using. Of course my wonderful mom is going to make the quilt and help me with the bumper, sheets and all the other million that we can make ourselves.

Scotty really loves it and is taking interest. Usually when I show him stuff he is just all like "Cool." because he's pretty indifferent to everything since he knows I'll do what I want haha ;)

But he sat and searched online with me for a long time yesterday and it was fuuuun! He's very happy with the idea of a guitarish theme. So wanna see my fabric? Ok good. I love it.

I still need to find a stripey one.... I shall keep searching.

Booyah! That's my sister.

On Sunday, October 18th, at about 1730 hours, Dispatch Trainee Paul Matheson was enjoying his roast beef dinner when a piece of meat became lodged in his throat. He struggled for several seconds to clear it; a sip of his drink aggravated the problem and completely blocked his airway.

Eventually, Paul stood up, stomped his feet and started clapping his hands to get the attention of nearby co-workers. When he pointed to his throat, they realized that he needed help.

Dispatcher Emily Ashdown quickly came to his aid and preformed the Heimlich maneuver. It was on the third thrust that she cleared Paul's airway and he was able to breath again. Afterward, he admitted that while Emily was coming to his aid, he was experiencing "tunnel vision" and was about to lose consciousness.

For her quick thinking and heroic response, Dispatcher Emily Ashdown is Civilian of the Month for October 2009.

Hells yeah, three cheers for my sister Emily! I hope they gave you something. Like money or a free roast beef dinner. I'm sorry that you have to wear such manish uniforms to work.

'Atta girl! I should learn how to do that because I don't know how. I am embarrassed by that. But you have made me proud. Namaste. *bow*

Baby's Gender Revealed!

Hooorah! We are so stoked. I can't believe I finally know what it is! It's going to be so much fun! Scotty of course is on cloud 9 with the news and I am ready to go shopping. Woot woot! He is so happy that is a boy he even agreed to go shopping with me today! Such a rare occasion.

So excited, la la la la la.........

1st Belly Pictures!

Holy crapola! I finally was able to get my picture uploader thing to work! It wasn't that hard... I'm just really brain dead lately. Anyway- look! I'm am providing you with a pic of my bump! Special.

7 weeks. Pretty sure the bump in the picture was already there.

Like my flattering facial expression? That's because I felt stupid taking this picture.

Taken today! 17 weeks 3 days (basically 4 months)

I started feeling flutters and stuff around 14 weeks but just a few days ago those flutters became a lot more distinct. It's nothing huge of course, but it's cool because I know for sure that it's the baby kicking and not just awesome gassyness. Hahaha :)

So some good news is that we get to find out what it is next Wednesday, Dec.2nd. Ooooweee! I can't wait. I'm getting kinda bored over here. When I know what it is a can shop, and blah blah blah. It will be fuuuuuun!

Happy Birthday Scotty!

I don't know why I chose to post this picture. He has a tie around his head at my Bro's wedding.

Today is Scotty's 25th Birthday! Hooray! We're getting so old... we fell in love when he barely 21. Such little babies. Now we're having a baby. Awwwww. Ok ANYWAY-
His last birthday sucked because I got laid off that day and I was devastated and I just cried and cried forever and ever. I should have known that losing that job was probably one of the best things to ever happen to me, duh!

So today I wanna make it good. I'm gonna go clean the house and decorate it all Birthdayish, and go buy stuff for Sundaes tonight with friends- it will be great! We're going to Pat's BBQ for dinner which (i dunno, I've never been there) but Scotty says it THE BEST EVER! Which I'm sure it is very tasty. I can't wait!

He left for work this morning and I couldn't fall back asleep because I'm so excited for his Birthday. I'm weird. I took a paid day off today but it's sad that he went into work. Kinda backwards huh? Oh well!

Ok. I love Scotty. Happy Birthday to him. Yay.
