Updates!!....

So, we just got home from a MUCH needed vacation!!

And of course it was camping on the Boulder Mountain none the less :)

After a long day at work, a crappy doctors appointment (more on that later in this post)

and a long drive, we FINAL made in to the camp site around 9:30 PM, so we had just enough time to level the trailers and put out the bed to get some of that much needed sleep.

Day 1

The starting of the day was WONDERFUL!! Blue skies, cool weather, didn't get above 80 the whole week, delicious omelet, and most of the family together.

Later in the afternoon my grandparents joined us and grandma Jo had a really fun game that Chayse and I put together....

this is when the bad things started. :(

First, I let myself get to hungry, so I was getting sick. One of the only times I have been sick.

Second, I was going to fast putting together the Golf game and hit my face with the pull and cut my nose.

Third, with this new thing growing in front of me, it has made me very clumsy... I tripped :(

And lastly, while getting ready for bed I wasn't paying attention and walked right into Chayse while he was taking his shirt off and got punched in the face.

Day 2-5

Nothing real special happened on these days and are pretty much the same.

Played Golf ...Grandma and I were the Champs!!

Went Fishing ... I am happy to say I caught the BIGGEST fish :)

Hiking ... can I tell you it was VERY HARD!! Of course it is just Because I have been milking the last 14 weeks...

I always love going camping, but it is ALWAYS nice to come home and shower and

sleep in a real bed.

14 weeks!

Now, on to baby news!!! :)

We had a doctors appointment on the 14th to hear the heart beat

and I am sad to say we didn't hear a thing. The doctor we went to that day decided it

was more important to talk the whole time and not let us listen to the heart.

Now, come to find out EVERYONE I have talked to said this doctor is a total dink.

And I have ask to never see him again and that he doesn't deliver our little one.

AMAZING NEWS

So as most of you WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!! YAY!!

So after two and a half years of many prayers, tears, and much heartbreak, we have been

SO blessed to find out that our prayers have been answered.

On the day that I took the most dreaded pregnancy test, I don't remember why I wanted to test that day I just had a feeling I need to, so I did.

The test is sitting by the sink while I tried to not think about it for THREE WHOLE minutes. I go in just knowing it was going to say negative, but with much SURPRISE it was POSITIVE!!

It just took my breath away!

After some of the shock faded I ran and jumped in Chayses arms and we just hugged for what seemed like FOREVER! I LOVE that man with all my heart and soul! He means the world to me! :)

After going through the day not believing it could be true, I told myself that maybe it was a false positive, so I said to myself, "self, you need to take another test in the morning to make sure."

And that is EXACTLY what I did.

And again it came back positive, so the next step was go to the doctor to do a blood test. And sure enough ANOTHER positive.

She said it was SO positive she thought it might be twins!!....

TWINS!!!......... WHAT?!?!

I think Chayse was about to have a heart attack and I was in shock for three weeks and

then we had the ultrasound...

and thank the Holy One Above there was only ONE heart beat!

(not that we would take what he gave us but it's to scary)

Can I just say how AMAZING it was to see the heart beat. It was going SO FAST I couldn't believe that something SO small could beat SO fast!

I have been feeling really good just a little nauseous, lower back pain and a couple of migraines, but I'll take those things any day over throwing up all day long.

I even have energy, which has surprised me the most because all of my
friends always said they just slept the first three months,

but not me I am keeping busy and lovin EVERY MINUTE!!

Pictures are coming soon!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

So, I had a birthday last Sunday, and man was it a GREAT DAY!! First I woke up to have Chayse ask me what I wanted for breakfast. My first choice is of course always will be biscuits and gravy, but we didn't have any milk, because I have been sick and unable to make it to the store. So, he made me the next best thing, fat eggs, bacon and biscuits. He is such a AMAZING MAN!! I am SOO lucky to have him in my life!

Now, on Saturday we did a big family birthday dinner for pretty much the whole family since we were all born in March. And my wonderful amazing daddy and momma got me new riding boots.


They are awesome and it didn't take long for them to get there first taste of mud and horse poop on them, Since Chayse, the wonderful husband that he is got me a horse for my birthday, now Chayse wouldn't of had the idea to get me a horse if it wasn't for my amazing father-in-law Bill. I told Bill like two years ago that I wanted a Buckskin and well now I HAVE ONE! I know right who would of thought Anne would have her own horse, I still can't believe it. Anyway, he is beautiful!! He is three in April, so he is somewhat broke, he still needs a little work but it will be fun to do. Teach him how I want things done. Also, I hope he gets about another hand tall so he isn't the small horse of the group, everyone knows how I hate small things, go big or go home right.... So, he has to keep up with Radar. Now, I don't know what quite to name him for sure, I need to ride him first before I will know what name will fit him best, but for right now I am think either Roper or Bully, because he is really mean to his sister, which we also bought.

Nothing New....

So it been awhile since my last post and I thought that I should update the little things I have. So, I have two GREAT friends who are both having babies and I am SOO excited for them!! and might be lucky enough to babysit.

I just found out I am going to be done with the first half of my schooling this summer, which is a TOTAL relief!! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The only thing that sucks is there are no universities that have family science classes so I have had to, again, change my major to Elementary Ed. and this time it is second grade. I chose second because it was the one year in elementary I can truly remember and I loved my teacher. So, with the major decided now I need figure out if I am going to stay with UVU and be done around 2013 if not earlier, or I can go to University of Pheonix and be done in 2012 and pay twice the money. What to do what to do...

Now, on to Chayse he has now decided that if certain things don't change at his work he is going to go back to school... YAY!! What is he going to do you might ask.... well I have been sworn to keep that a secret. So, lets pray his work still sucks and I can get my butt in gear to finish faster so he can go.

More updates are coming nest week.... 3 year wedding anniversary !!! Heck yeah baby!!!

Latest Projected ... Finished!!...

Okay so I have had this post for two weeks now and well, here it is....

So its been awhile and I have finally done it!! The quilt turned out AMAZING!! I had a ton of help from Grandma Jolyn, Holly and Chayse (he says he tied the whole thing, but we all know it was only a little...). Thanks again!

Next projects :
1. Make curtains for the kitchen and extra bedrooms.
2. Make car seat cover and baby bedding for Jac (now that I don't have to keep it a secret).
3. Paint master bedroom
4. The yard
5. Paint and tile both bathrooms
6. Sew another quilt for Chayse
and many many more...

The Holidays!!!

So, the holidays are over and all I have to say is ... THANK YOU!! Thank you for the great gifts given and received, time with family and friends, and now for them to be OVER!!! I love the holidays but that cowards and traffic I HATE!! Anyways I'll get off me soap box. Christmas was full of family. Christmas eve Chayse and I spent the day with my family at Grandpa Jim's, had a great Ham dinner and the Spencer's Famous Funeral Potatoes. After we ate so much we couldn't move we had to make the next stop, Jan's (Holly's mom) and The Rymer party was short and sweet the way we like them.

After all the parties were over we went home wrapped all the gifts, prepared the snacks to take with and then watched a movie, don't ask me which one I feel asleep, Chayse always says I am an old lady because I can fall asleep at the blink of an eye.

Christmas Day: Woke up around 8:00 packed up all the gifts and Bruno then headed to grandpas house. After everyone had gathered we were ready to open the presents, and all I have to say is I was more excited to give then receive. So, after everyone thought the the last gift was opened I pulled out, in my mind the best present there, my dads. I had spent many hours, with the help of Jolyn and Holly helping me tie, oh and Chayse can't forget the 1/8 of the quilt he helped with. The best quilt I have ever done is FINISHED!!!

Long Time!!....

Okay, WOW it has been a LONG time since I updated anything!

So, A LOT has happened in four in a half months. We have painted the TV room a beautiful blue and now that it is painted, its time to decorate!! Also, we finished the office, which was a pain in the butt, but it looks so GOOD! And it is nice to be able to get in there and get things done and maybe one day I will be able to convince Chayse to let me put my sewing machine in there so I don't have to have it on the dining table when I am doing a project. Which reminds me of all the things I can't wait to start: make drapes for the kitchen, the back door, and the two extra bedrooms, paint the master bedroom, tile the two bathrooms and start on a baby bedding for someone special (not me). In addition, we've got plans for the yard and can I say how excited we are for that!! It will be nice to have a GREAT yard, and its going to be the best on the street... HEE HEE!!

On top of all of the house updates, Chayse had the long awaited surgery back in October. Everything went GREAT!! The Doctor was impressed with how well he did. The Doctor also told us, it was a good thing we chose that surgery, because the other way would have missed at least five of his veins, which would of defeated the whole point of going in. So we are really glad we followed all the promptings. After we got home he was really sore and swollen for about 5 weeks, which was really hard for him (and of course me too, I hate to see him in pain, it breaks my heart). We are hoping this FINALLY works for us! But we can't do any test until February to see if it will help (of course we are hoping to get pregnant before then... hopefully).

Now, to more recent events. I am happy to say our GREATEST, BESTEST friends, Russell and Jac are home for a month!! YAY!!! We have loved having them home (even if it is for a little while). I am happy to say we aren't losers anymore, and it's nice to have people we can call to come play and they come over within minutes. On top of all that, Chayse is happy again, he has someone to play C.O.D. and go shooting with and also someone who can fix the truck. We are so LUCKY to have them as friends. They are such an amazing couple!! And great examples to us!

Now, to more depressing things. Christmas is in 15 DAYS!!! And guess what, haven't even started!! Normally I am done the first week of December, not this year. I am so not looking forward to going out with everyone who will be out shopping, GRR I hate crowds, traffic and worrying what to get people. It's WAY to stressful; it hurts my head. Oh, I guess there is one good thing with only having two weeks till Christmas Chayse and I will be starting the yearly Harry Porter marathon.
