PHEEWWWW!!!!!

Thank You for ALL your prayers and sweet comments. Iam happy to report good news. The ultra sound showed that the baby is right on track. The previous ultrasound tech measured it wrong and had put me 2 weeks behind. With the ultrasound and the low hormone counts they had pretty much prepared me that I would have to have a D&C and that it wasnt a good pregnancy. I dont know why my hormone count was low, but the current tech was confident that everything is ok. It did show that I have a slight hemorrage on the uterus, which indicates why the spotting is occuring. Iam just trying to take it easy so that it may heal itself. So with faith knowing this baby is supposed to be here, I take it day by day. Furthermore a HORRAAAYYYY, WHHHHOOOAAA, and YEEEEWWWWWW is in order. Love you All!

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays everyone! I can't believe that Christmas is almost here. This year has flown by. I have been a little distracted lately and haven't been keeping up with my blog. Thanksgiving was amazing. We had the most wonderful time down in St. George. For those of you old roomies, yes Tami really did cook a great turkey!!! There was an abundance of food and laughter. Which most of you did see what Tami put on her blog. AhHa very funny, for some reason I knew she was going to put that on there even though she said "No, of course not Terri". You all caught me in my true fashion. I surely love being with my family, it was perfect.
Now for the distraction...I believe I might be having a miscarriage. When I finally called the nurse she scheduled me for an ultrasound and it looked ok. I still wasnt satisfied so she had me do a blood test for my HCG count and then another one 48 hours later, which was today. Actually it was not promising. Iam so sad! They schdueled another ultrasound at the hospital tomorrow. I will probably know for sure then what is happening. I thought I might share this info with those that I care about, especially if I have to take off my cute baby floating in a bubble with my count down. Anyhow...wish me luck.

Happy Thanksgiving

Well I think I am back now. I have been a little distracted lately by a few things. One is my obsessiveness of projects. It seems when I am pregnant I nest the entire time. Everything starts to change in my house. Out with old...make room for the new. Its crazy, but fun because I seem to get sooo much done. The other two things are my cute sisters. I have been spending so much time helping them with their blogs, I have ignored mine. I LOVE IT. I am so excited to have them addicted to blogging. It seems that the blogging world just brings friends and family closer. So my latest that I need to catch up on, is for my dear friend Emily. I HAVE BEEN TAGGED. Sooo Emily this is for you.

Pirates, Mummies, and Butterflies.......OH MY!!!!!

Silver didn't want to scare the kids being Darth Vader at the Primary party so he chose something more fun. Sweet kid!

He wanted me to wrap toilet paper all around him so he could be a mummy.

Our neighbor friends. Both my kids ran from him every time they saw the pirate trick or treating. It wasn't funny to them, but I thought it was hilarious....bad mom.

This was the best smile she gave me all night. I guess we are best with the ones we love.

So much more fun being with friends.

Look at those smiling faces after they realized they scored with candy.

Could hardly wait to dig in!

I can guarantee he will be wearing this costume for the rest of the year.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

I have been TAGGED by Jane, Soo here it goes.

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.

B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.

C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. When I was younger I was painfully shy. I used to hide under the tables when people would come. In fact even when family would visit I would just hide my eyes until I was ready to see everyone. But with moving over 30 times in my life, shyness was not a quality that I kept. THANK GOODNESS.

2. I am a very picky eater but wish that I wasnt!! I constantly am teaching myself to try different things.

3. My family calls me the OCD sister. I love to organize everything. Especially to help others organize. It brings me great satisfaction to throw things away. And pregnancy brings it out even more. I couldnt go to bed last night until my closet was completly reorganized and clothes thrown out. SIMPLICITY!!!

4. I love love love New Age music. It brings peace to my everyday life. I wish that we had a world speaker to have music constantly playing. I guess the ipod is the closest thing we will get to on the go music.

5. I dislike mean and grumpy people. Nothing in life is so bad that you have to be rude. Especially to people you dont even know. Everyone has the opportunity to make an impact on ones life....so take it.

6. For some reason I have a fear of going on long car trips. Afraid of getting in a wreck and my family getting injured. You never know what could happen. Iam working on this :)

Sugar and spice and everything nice, ribbons and curls because she's a girl.

Our little girl is growing up so fast. I was just browsing through my pictures and am amazed how fast she is changing. I loved these recent pictures of her, they are sooo Mia. She is a sugar freak and loves suckers. A friend gave Silver and Mia big suckers from Disneyland. Somehow when she received her sucker, Mia was already eating a little pink one and then ended up swiping Silvers too. I caught her just walking around the house eating all three suckers. And of course like any good mom would do... you think of the camera first!! Not the fact that all her teeth are rotting at that very second. The other two pictures are great as well. Every girl has to have a picture of their first set of curlers. I have fun memories of my mom doing that for me. I love that sweet picture. Mia loves having her hair done. And last my cute Mia could not sleep unless her princess and bear slept with her. The best part is she didnt touch them all night. Everybody was still in their sleeping postion. LOVE IT!!

Goodbye Summer

Good bye Summer hello Fall!

Well the time has come for me to get out my sweaters and put out the pumpkins. YEA! The corn stalks are turning brown, the garden is cleaned, and it is time to plant some tulips. That is the goal for this week. Well that and hunting down a Darth Vadar costume for Halloween. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

As for the slide show it is a tribute to the summer before we enter the holiday season. Tis the season, see you again summer in 2008.

Summer

Ok so Iam finally putting out another post. A few weeks ago I was so excited that I finally sat down and figured out the whole blog thing. Now I just need to get in the habit of posting new ones. I love reading everyone elses, I forget about mine. Sooo I thought I would post my latest experience.

I was able to do a box garden this summer, (thanks again Jane for your boxes) it has been so fun! It was one of my new "stay at home mom" goals. We planted 2 kinds tomatoes, banana peppers, green peppers, squash, cucumbers, corn and thyme. It started off well and looked amazing. Then it got really hot and I tried watering it by hand a couple times a day. Towards the end of the summer I looked at my corn and realized that I had only 2 midget corns and the rest just didnt finish growing. So I evaluated my sprinkers and realized that the boxes werent getting enough water for the corn to thrive. For some reason the others didnt need as much water and did great. My goal this winter is to do some farmer research and have a better garden next year.

Well Everyone...it was about time that I started a blog for my family. Especially when I found out that my friends 8 year old daughter has her own site. Soooo here it goes. For many that we havent talked to in forever we have blogged more about what we are doing in the family happenings. The main thing that we want to share is the best vacation our family has taken so far. We were able to visit Hawaii twice within a months time. In April we went for two weeks for his nephews wedding and some vacation time with our friends the Terrys and the Cowans. We then came home for 2 weeks and then flew back for 2 more weeks for Silvers 15 year High School Reunion(Red Raiders for life) and nieces high school graduation. I am so glad that we were able to support his family for all those events. Silver hadn't been back home for about 5 years, so it was about time. Needless to say it was the highlight of our summer. You can't beat beaches, palm trees, waterfalls, chocolate haupia pie, manapuas, and kyacking at Secret Island. Lets not forget the sweet smell of the plumeria and pikake flowers. I am definitely looking forward to our next trip.
