Thanksgiving

Well we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was Anthony, my dad, and myself. It was smaller then what I am used to but I think it went really well. Anthony did most of the cooking. It was wonderful, I think out of everything I only cooked the stuffing. It was nice because I was able to talk to my dad. Well here are some pics......

Here is the table set up before the dinner. Very nice, i did it myself....




Here's Anthony doing some cooking. He is really getting good at cooking, we watch a lot of food network....




Our pies. I made the pumpkin and Anthony made the pecan pie. The pecan was better then mine. It was funny Anthony ate like 3 pieces in a row. ...





A couple pics of my dad and me. It was nice .......






Here's me all stuffed. Like I can get any bigger :)!!!




Last one I thought i would take a belly shot. 3 weeks to go.. We are hoping maybe sooner. I will 37 weeks this monday. So I know she will be safe coming anytime....


Well we hope that everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. I guess before I go I will list somethings I myself am thankful for....
- family,friends,church,heavenly father, Anthony, the new bundle of joy in our lives soon, all the men and women fighting for our country, all of the blessings that have been giving to our family. And Christmas coming.. Which means I get to start decorating :) :)!!!!!
Okay time to go. I don't know when the next pics will be posted, probably when our rebekah comes..... Love you all!!!!

Anthony caught a fish

Well Anthony was able to go fishing yesterday at the Santee Lakes. It is a lake about 5 mins from us. I think fishing relaxes him. I know he wanted me to come, but I think I would have been a burden more then someone who was having fun. He got to the lakes about 6:45am and was there till about 4:30 pm. It was so funny, he almost got kicked out of the lake for asking a fellow fisherman to move down a little bit. But hey, He caught his first trout in CA, it was about 2lbs. It was so cute, he sent me a picture on my phone while I was at the grocery store. Then when I came home I saw that he had set the timer on the camera and took a couple so here yall go........

Marine Corp Ball

Well on thursday November,15th Anthony and I were able to attend his ball. For those who do not know what it is, well it's an event that celebrates the Marine Corp birthday. I have been the last 3 years. We usually get professional pics done, but this year we are more on a budget, plus we will be getting pictures done when our little one arrives. Well anyways, all the marines get together, and have a big drunk fest... WooooHooooooo, Yeah it is nice, but truthfully it's not my favorite time of the year. On the brighter side I get to get all dressed up. This year I felt like a blimp, but hey it's all part of motherhood.. So anyways, we took some pics and we hope yall enjoy.....


Here I am before we left for the ball. The dress was comfortable, but the funny thing is, was that I didn't realize I was getting so big. Plus I am short so I look alot bigger.I am 36 weeks just about so hey......... Oh the white dot on the pics I am not sure, I think it was the camera....





So we were getting ready to go and we realized there was no pic of us, so Anthony got one of his friends to take a pic....

Here's my hunny. I didn't get a chance to get one of him, so when we got home I got to get a pic.....

I snapped this one my self, I was so tired......

Here's the last one of the night. Anthony set the timer and we got a pic... I like this one the best...

Stay tuned for more pics, I will be updating with thanksgiving pics.....

Updates and the Baby's Room!!!!!!

Okay so I know that I said we would be sending andrew and michell's pics, but things have been very hectic around here. As I am sure you heard on the news that there was some fires. Let me tell you that it was quite a scare for me. I am from the east coast and all we have are thunder storms and hurricanes. I know they are just as dangerous, but oh my gosh fires. Well I am so blessed, that I did not have to evacuate. Sadly there were over 500,000 evacuees and a lot of people lost their homes. I am thankful that I was able to stay in the comfort of my own home. Anthony wasn't here, but the lord was watching out for our family. Well on a better note I went to the Dr. today and my foot is much better. I am walking without the ugly blue boot. Yes!!!! Talk about a humbling experince. Also just to let everyone know I am now 34 weeks. We are so excited for the arrival of our little girl.. and the baby is doing wonderful.. you know what, I think it will be a wonderful christmas this year. I love christmas, it is my favoriate holiday. I even like listening to the music way early, actually I am listening to it as I write this blog. Anthony is not home right now, but he will be in like 10 mins, so I will have to shut off the music. He only will listen to it after thanksgiving. Well okay enough babbling.
Anthony and I were able to finish the baby's room. We were blessed to have very generous family. My father's present to us was the baby furniture. So I hope yall love it as much as we do. It 's not pink, but a natural color. I still have this fear that we will end up with a boy even after all this planning for a girl. Oh well children are all gifts from god, so any way our child will be loved.... Okay enough talk.....



Here is the room when Anthony was putting everything together.....





Here are pics of the finished project. We are so excited... :)









The finished room!!!




Everyone have a blessed day, and we will be updating with thanksgiving pics... Love you all!!!

Andrew and Michelle's wedding day.....

Well this month has been a hard one. Especially with myself in the hospital for 26 hours, and then having to walk on crutches while being 7 months pregnant. But with the good lord's help, and my wonderful husband at my side I have be able to pull through it. On a lighter note, Anthony's brother Andrew and his beautiful wife were married. October 11, 2007. We arrived in Utah on the night before, and after a strenuous day at the airport we were luckily able to end our day better. I will be honest though the next day was a little rough for myself. I was so tired. Anthony seemed a little better off then I was, but it was a wonderful day all together. I will say though I have never been to a wedding that has lasted all day, Anthony tells me it was a typical Utah wedding. I have to laugh.. Well now to the good part of this, pictures. We will be getting the pics transferred onto some cd's so yall can have them.... But here's for now......


Here is Michelle and Andrew, Anthony took this pic how beautiful.....

Here are some more pics that were taken at the temple.......

By far it was a wonderful day. We are very happy that we could be apart of such a wonderful day. I hope Andrew and Michelle will keep each other straight, and have a longlasting beautiful marrige....

Our little girl

I thought I would post some pics of our 20 week ultrasound. It was so wonderful to see Rebekah and know she was okay. The ultrasound sucked. I had drank over 64 oz of water, but then I had to go to the bathroom. So when we got back to the ultrasound room, and the nurse started she said I was not full enough. She sent us back to the waiting room and I drank like 60 more. By the time we actually went back again i had used the bathroom once again. But I guess I drank enough because we didn't have to go backt o the waiting room.. What an experince...
Here is Bekah scratching her head it was so cute, we got a chukle out of it....


Our baby girl.....

Here's her foot. I am not sure if she'll have mine or Anthony's. Mine are way small, but we'll see....

I hoped yo enjoyed these. I am sure not as much as us, but we wanted to share our bundle of joy with ya'll......

Our Home

Here are our Home pics....
We will start at the upstairs, here is one of the bathrooms. We have 3 but here is the baby's/ guest bathroom.


Here we have the office/ guest room. The black couch in the pic turns into a bed. Got to love IKEA......

Okay when you first come down stairs, after like 2 sets of stairs, you can see where the entrance is......

Then coming upstairs from the entrance this is the first thing that you see. It is our little dedication to our marrige and family.... I think it brings a sense of peace...

After that you have the living room I split the pics up......

Then you have our kitchen, I love it. Off to the side is our little eating/ dinning room area......

Then next to that yo have our laundry room....

Hope there is a little insight to our new home. We are exstactic that we could be so blessed! With me not working it gets a little lonely during the day, but soon we will have a littel bundle of joy join our family.
