It feels like we've been waiting for this time to finally be here. I know other's have gone through more difficult trials to get their children here, and I feel like the little trial Ryan and I went through was to give us a better understanding of what others have had to go through. Although I don't feel like I took Kate's pregnancy for granted, I just had no idea how easy it was for us to bring her here. Everything went SO SMOOTHLY! Which is great, and I am so grateful I will have those memories to hold onto dearly.<br /><br />This pregnancy has been a little bit different. We wanted to start trying in January of 2010 but decided it was important to get better insurance, and get Aflac. Due to the new insurance we had to wait until May to start trying. In my head that was an eternity away, but I figured that since it was so easy to get pregnant with Kate, that a few months wouldn't kill us. May came, and I felt like our time FINALLY came! I was so excited to get pregnant. Any girl can imagine the disappointment I went through when June came and that pregnancy test came back negative. July, nothing. I for sure thought August would be my month! We went to Newport with Ryan's family over my birthday. I knew that if I hadn't started by the 7Th, I was pregnant. I wanted to give myself the best birthday present ever so I waited until the 10Th to take the test.... And it was the best birthday ever!!!! The test came back positive! Our time had come. I was ecstatic. It was so hard to not shout it to the world, especially to Ryan's family since we were with them all week. We went to Disneyland and Jess was pregnant so she couldn't go on any of the wild rides. I was trying to figure out how on earth I was going to keep it a secret from the family when I wasn't going on any of those rides either. Jess caught on what was going on really fast! It was our little secret (and Ryan's too). We came home from Newport and everything was going great. At 6 1/2 weeks I finally called Dr. Smith's office and scheduled an appointment for our 8 week check up. The very next day everything changed. I started spotting but didn't want to overreact. I called up Dr. Smith's nurse and she said she wanted me to go in and let them draw my blood. They wanted to make sure I was pregnant. This next week DRAGGED for me. They called me back Wednesday saying I was pregnant but my levels were low so they wanted me to go back and draw blood again. Then on Thursday they wanted me to go in and get the Rhogam shot. The whole time I knew what was going, but I didn't want to admit it. A small part of me was hoping that everything was going to be OK, and I was still pregnant. On Friday when I got the phone call from the nurse letting me know that indeed it was a miscarriage, I was devastated. Although it was only 2 1/2 weeks, I was already planning on having this little one join our family in April.<br /><br />I spent the time I needed to grieve over that little one. The next few months were still frustrating for me. I wanted to get pregnant so bad, and I wanted it right then!<br /><br />I remember on Thanksgiving I was feeling sick. One side of me was excited thinking, "Yay, this is it!" While the other side of me was thinking, "Oh no, another month goes by and I'm still not pregnant." That Saturday I was too anxious so I took a pregnancy test (3 days early) and once again, it came back negative. I just kept waiting for it to start. Wednesday still nothing so I took another pregnancy test, and it came back POSITIVE!!! I couldn't believe it! And I couldn't believe that I was sick before I even knew I was pregnant. That day I called the doctors office and they said they would see me as early and as often as I wanted to be seen. That was comforting for me. I decided that no matter how often I go in, it wont change anything. We knew we wanted to tell immediate family on Christmas, but I told Ryan that we couldn't tell them until we had seen Dr. Smith. We went in at 7 weeks and were able to see the heartbeat. That was all I needed! We told the family on Christmas!<br /><br />I've had a few friends that recently miscarried at 12 weeks, so I was still worried that I could have another one. The whole week before my 12 week appointment I kept telling Ryan how worried I was that we were going to go to the appointment and they wouldn't be able to find a heartbeat (even though we had already seen the heartbeat twice). The night before I had a nightmare about the same thing. So we go in, and the doctor is using the Doppler instead of doing an ultrasound. My heart is pounding and I'm about to cry when 20 seconds goes by and he still cant find the heartbeat. Finally, he finds it and I can calm down. Ryan was even worried there for a minute. So we've done it! We've made it past the 12 week mark! I can finally relax and not worry about every tiny thing that is going on!<br /><br />Wrong. I'm 15 weeks now and I'm feeling so much better and loving it! On a Sunday evening I start bleeding just a tiny bit, but its enough to throw me over the edge. I'm balling and can't even breathe. I couldn't believe that this was happening to me. I spoke to a nurse on call, and she assured me that everything is OK since I haven't had any more bleeding. I went in the next day to hear the heartbeat and get everything checked out, and everything was OK! I cannot begin to tell you how relieved I was. And what helped was right after this incident I was able to feel baby move around, and have felt him several times a day since then.<br /><br />I will be 20 weeks tomorrow, and nothing scary has happened since then. I am so glad that I have made it this far! I will never EVER take a single pregnancy for granted. I will cherish every moment, good and bad. As rough as it has been, I am so grateful for everything that has happened. I would like to believe it has made me a stronger person, and I can sympathize with those that have gone through a rough time as well.<br /><br />Kate is so excited to be a big sister! From day 1 she said she was getting a baby brother, so we weren't too surprised when we found out she was right! We are so thrilled to have a little boy join our family.<br /><br /><div align="center">Here is baby boy's profile. </div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 294px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586945466555036882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT6BXpXlw00v6lpZs4lRoY6C4oVjvsX7DHnvyyTaj5D6W8s25BX5t-kekw9hsTbIval7BpnDIkkv6nOxwphQqClt8JW7sNaWxVGNCRX9Itpvbc24JAbGaslijQ8hE0RKfYkvOea0LOc3kU/s400/img009.jpg" /><br /><br /><div align="center">Here is his left leg in 3D.<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcGoKIBvTCRTJ6EtuojjX6byA3Vn_j2n94B558vSp9CTlq9zU573e9cdHlQJJpbyX50XPmkhSrO9E4cXjLYi1fLd4XLSACE-SWrrO24qIUjRcnYs7n3fYUTN178Pisf2UYIMb18jEjSZd/s1600/img012.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 338px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586946373202450274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcGoKIBvTCRTJ6EtuojjX6byA3Vn_j2n94B558vSp9CTlq9zU573e9cdHlQJJpbyX50XPmkhSrO9E4cXjLYi1fLd4XLSACE-SWrrO24qIUjRcnYs7n3fYUTN178Pisf2UYIMb18jEjSZd/s400/img012.jpg" /></a>His left leg again.

There is actually a funny story behind this! About 7 pm I got a phone call from my brother asking me if I would come to the house for an hour or two so they could go to the hospital to get Lindsi checked. (Her due date wasn't until July 20th?) Once they got there, she was dilated far enough so they kept her! Her doctor (the best doctor out there :)) came in at about 11:50pm and asked Parker and Lindsi if they wanted a June or July baby. They said July. So they were just hanging out waiting for the 10 minutes to pass. Dr. Smith asked what time it was, and it was 11:58. Only 2 more minutes. . . One minute later, Dr. Smith looked down, and little Tagg's head was popping out. Apparently he didn't want a July Birthday!<br /><div align="center">Mr. Tagg at the hospital</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2cYCkkB5NwgBZ7flZdNdqRkVuzIBulwFqNMyPeilQfysTqmHK5dzCq-mocS24nFkaaceqd5qQ-zjHOWYO1q7F8GzU2Bv2eAn2yARB18X6kjgRiwr8mZkKUoNVBCUj4HXJPdvgubNliEh/s1600/Taggart"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532476573207606114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2cYCkkB5NwgBZ7flZdNdqRkVuzIBulwFqNMyPeilQfysTqmHK5dzCq-mocS24nFkaaceqd5qQ-zjHOWYO1q7F8GzU2Bv2eAn2yARB18X6kjgRiwr8mZkKUoNVBCUj4HXJPdvgubNliEh/s400/Taggart" /></a> Tagg showing off his gorgeous eyes down at Yuba lake.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidkHY7Z_tp_2xoY-wbQFDS6wMhy6u2eV3BO0KZqMUvNDnpFsUiCxyCrtl6dUMZtUSA268oO9OWpjm8ltGY9uqNC_FxzlERX9iKw2j-G0GDMgHy7K9wA-wHPEjo2mMC6H4FOjL-IvKxCNPg/s1600/Tagg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532476574494180322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidkHY7Z_tp_2xoY-wbQFDS6wMhy6u2eV3BO0KZqMUvNDnpFsUiCxyCrtl6dUMZtUSA268oO9OWpjm8ltGY9uqNC_FxzlERX9iKw2j-G0GDMgHy7K9wA-wHPEjo2mMC6H4FOjL-IvKxCNPg/s400/Tagg" /></a> Tagg's birth announcement.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd9zGm-gRj9FfQD4ZAEBFcEE1F7xQRs4ZLww3j0djujylIioPl0RzpKa3W9G_5D_duXNZnDfZHcz_yfLEdq0A-aFPItU9LejXQsqc7EsJcWyYJDeSVUMpeunxwsHXE4qBSgDqoR_lS3-Cr/s1600/Tagg+announcement+Photo.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 112px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532476569471727762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd9zGm-gRj9FfQD4ZAEBFcEE1F7xQRs4ZLww3j0djujylIioPl0RzpKa3W9G_5D_duXNZnDfZHcz_yfLEdq0A-aFPItU9LejXQsqc7EsJcWyYJDeSVUMpeunxwsHXE4qBSgDqoR_lS3-Cr/s400/Tagg+announcement+Photo.jpg" /></a> I feel so honored to have 13 nieces and nephews! </div><div>Tagg is such a wonderful addition to this family!</div><div> </div><div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">I love you Tagg!</span></strong> </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:78%;">p.s.

It's always bitter sweet when that happens. I'm trying really hard to be better about not having big days (like his birthday, Father's Day, or the day he passed away) be a sad day. My sister is a great example to me, and on days like that, she makes it a big celebration about remembering his life, and all the good things he did while he was here, and remembering all the good memories we have of him. I'm trying to follow her example!<br /><br /><div align="center">Ryan, Kate, and I went to visit Dad on his birthday and Father's Day. </div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCVlnSl00qQMWnEFjeSpSjdfha8avzfDzukejfkfm6MrCEYv4615yhHshT-Cgja5_YMyAthJwlbr3Xvzk5SsMkwFtnMC1shPYhSIWvhZmyL4WtAX1IGeQ8QmZiyJuo46irNt_ivzkLcNkk/s1600/Moffitt+Family+at+Grave.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532465927452684434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCVlnSl00qQMWnEFjeSpSjdfha8avzfDzukejfkfm6MrCEYv4615yhHshT-Cgja5_YMyAthJwlbr3Xvzk5SsMkwFtnMC1shPYhSIWvhZmyL4WtAX1IGeQ8QmZiyJuo46irNt_ivzkLcNkk/s400/Moffitt+Family+at+Grave.jpg" /></a> Kate's first visit to Grandpa's grave. </div><div align="center">She was so happy to be there!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg12KDGMZIPVUxmNgYuM0SdiuT7-IWfIA3NbRfbhzPXFitdmSgmu3RDqDHHVu-GgYCQedKqzfsnbeU6XLcUAevnuvhI33Q_0L6IFr5Q0a4mHaRTDjTCtWbK3KCxNC94eKYrRnDW8xTY2CeL/s1600/DSCN0604.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532463917580733634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg12KDGMZIPVUxmNgYuM0SdiuT7-IWfIA3NbRfbhzPXFitdmSgmu3RDqDHHVu-GgYCQedKqzfsnbeU6XLcUAevnuvhI33Q_0L6IFr5Q0a4mHaRTDjTCtWbK3KCxNC94eKYrRnDW8xTY2CeL/s400/DSCN0604.JPG" /></a> I remember this day like it was yesterday!

I can't believe you are 20. To be honest i feel like you are older than that. You've had to grow up at an early age. I want to let you know that you are such a great example to me. You've had your fair share of trials in life, and yet you are the strongest, most independent, (and stubborn!) person I know. I am so grateful to have you as my lil sis. I know growing up we were not the greatest sister's to each other, but I feel like since we have gone through all that, it has brought us closer together.<br /><br /><div align="center"> It was fun going on this hike together in Jackson.</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5M9myfKEUkKuLIjihSG90K5v1NULtbyNkc_qAXsdWI8gTEaFqPJN8UassMDKgkSxxOECeC5EZdyxhO04nu6lXKuUCkvxny-kk7NPHH43R3fVZ9WnCgdHyx81VkieMdu6UxYt9NDIMJe6/s1600/DSCN1138.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453388941578387138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5M9myfKEUkKuLIjihSG90K5v1NULtbyNkc_qAXsdWI8gTEaFqPJN8UassMDKgkSxxOECeC5EZdyxhO04nu6lXKuUCkvxny-kk7NPHH43R3fVZ9WnCgdHyx81VkieMdu6UxYt9NDIMJe6/s400/DSCN1138.JPG" /></a> You are so good to Kate, even though she does things to make you dry heave :). </div><div align="center">You still love her just as much.

There are so many great things I could say about her. She is such a fun person to be around. She has a unique and quirky sense of humor that we absolutely adore. It's almost impossible to be around her and not have a fun time. She teaches me that I need to remember not to take life so seriously. But on that same note, she is a very responsible person! She has great balance in her life, and I admire that about her, and wish I could be more like that.<br /><div align="center"><br />Jessica is a wonderful aunt.

They got TONS of people to help make this happen. Lots of people offered to give away gifts that were raffled off throughout the night. There were family, friends, and friends of the bands here, and more! I was so happy to see how many people came to support this, but on that same note, you can never have too many people there :)<br /><br />Before the concert even started, Kevin and Parker hit it off by raffling off some items. Ryan was the very first person to win something! He won a 10 Day pass to Momentum. He is so ecstatic about this.

Quite a few bead watches, the latest fashion! (Thanks to Kelly who donated those.) Two different packages of Lia Sophia jewelry that a friend of mine donated. ($200 worth!). 2 different karate lesson packages. There were many more items! The last item they gave away was a rafting trip down in Moab.

Due to four other families we only get it once every 4 years, so we were pretty excited to be going up there. It's a pretty big ordeal getting everything up to the cabin. We can only get there on snowmobiles, so we have sleds that we pull and put all of our belongings in them. For this trip we only had two snowmobiles, so we had to stagger the times we all came up. Ryan, Kate, and I were first. Parker was kind enough to go up the night before to turn on the heaters. When he came it was a whopping 20 degrees. BRRRRR! So when we got up there I think it had gotten up to 58 degrees. Still BRRRR! Kate and I stayed at the cabin while Ryan went back down to help everyone else out.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Here is Kate all bundled up. </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbuyTKkNGlnH1q53D2ob_BX-7QZ7PGxd3FYAVXzTpyyMlxs5Y0LkVlbHqbsPf1dYrBVSOyEPuLORnPTEb47GycjmOaJJrXryz12gbWRSO9x0eUj_lytClZmVnxPSo05JKcvkdt-BWy0E-/s1600-h/DSCN2529.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435566393842352962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbuyTKkNGlnH1q53D2ob_BX-7QZ7PGxd3FYAVXzTpyyMlxs5Y0LkVlbHqbsPf1dYrBVSOyEPuLORnPTEb47GycjmOaJJrXryz12gbWRSO9x0eUj_lytClZmVnxPSo05JKcvkdt-BWy0E-/s400/DSCN2529.JPG" /></a> Kate LOVES having her little dance parties.

Of course you can't celebrate without someone streaking. Ryan, Parker, and Bryce did take it down a notch this year! Once they got naked, they only ran around on the deck and decided to not go out snowmobiling naked.

We would all pile in and come back to the cabin, to do it all over again! <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4xAVizWUsdAYamvH85yDZzkTi0fYz4HCk71rclX3MtdIWiHkwDRDAzVglfLF9Tg3qlSJkQnhb5E-TtHOCRlOqTNacyneNZ3T4wP7cjScC6lzIKnCCu_FmAnnsMyhmTnVNYbz0rUQLuYr/s1600-h/DSCN2608.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435564464922695042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4xAVizWUsdAYamvH85yDZzkTi0fYz4HCk71rclX3MtdIWiHkwDRDAzVglfLF9Tg3qlSJkQnhb5E-TtHOCRlOqTNacyneNZ3T4wP7cjScC6lzIKnCCu_FmAnnsMyhmTnVNYbz0rUQLuYr/s400/DSCN2608.JPG" /></a> Kelly and I getting ready to race!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Q9sUHvWCtMIpBiRl4P9fXmXlcS9zUJynanqSnV4fLWEPEj3dcoJQ1nwU_E4rzJ-uTzXMrqWgLTtZ8h8SSl-AJRpdZbfyMSu0EyfbRxsjAchO3uhM2vpwvwqBnzPrywmOmKCc-tGs_tKb/s1600-h/DSCN2611.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435564459110824162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Q9sUHvWCtMIpBiRl4P9fXmXlcS9zUJynanqSnV4fLWEPEj3dcoJQ1nwU_E4rzJ-uTzXMrqWgLTtZ8h8SSl-AJRpdZbfyMSu0EyfbRxsjAchO3uhM2vpwvwqBnzPrywmOmKCc-tGs_tKb/s400/DSCN2611.JPG" /></a> Daddy and Kate enjoying some hot cocoa.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglMeZxFNPTkYYqIA3AnOoqla_t40a2dTLjbzbTS44uLyZ5IppsemDTVCXadlncEeajdeiTw7MDuDBpu3Hpgco39J6LiTdLSRteEwDbqO9TuZvetvPPEAvif4Rn6XjtfMlfxuB893CHynZr/s1600-h/DSCN2616.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435563829982146514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglMeZxFNPTkYYqIA3AnOoqla_t40a2dTLjbzbTS44uLyZ5IppsemDTVCXadlncEeajdeiTw7MDuDBpu3Hpgco39J6LiTdLSRteEwDbqO9TuZvetvPPEAvif4Rn6XjtfMlfxuB893CHynZr/s400/DSCN2616.JPG" /></a> Kelly, Jaclyn, and I being silly.

I was pretty nervous, and just banking on the fact that we would be leaving early due to Kate's behavior. I packed TONS of treats, her Church Book, books to read, paper to color on, more treats, and her big sippy cup filled to the brim with milk. We got there a little early so we could somewhat stake out the best spot to sit. We chose a spot near the back but in the middle of the row. To the right of us we had 2 little girls the same age, and to the left were more little kids. We didn't know anyone around us, but us mother's figured it would be best if our girls shared the books and toys to entertain each other. The other two little girls were acting up quite a bit, and had to be taken out several times throughout the two hours. It was a whole different story for Katie Baby! She did amazing! We didn't have to take her out once. She didn't act up and do her silly little tantrum. She just played with her own toys, and when she was bored of that, she would pull out a treat, and when she was done with that she would play some more, then do the routine all over again! And it wasn't like we had space at all. Every seat on the row was taken by the adults, then the kids had the space at our feet to play with. If anything, I had to take Ryan out and sit him in time out! I am so proud of my little girl! I'm not holding my breath, but now I'm hoping this is how she'll act at Church so I can maybe get something out of it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEjHoxXqCrBCODAzNxEEjY126HZmLpvVg_Fs_-gu4PKIch5h4W_S9w_BlqlDBpqbPaNnvgN9j6m1R_1eAMtTaWFFAyL_RzK1WGWnMguRFOibPRJ7YhxhSgctDjqvQUroAmhzhRaMCHtIBI/s1600-h/DSCN2839.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430778722145860978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEjHoxXqCrBCODAzNxEEjY126HZmLpvVg_Fs_-gu4PKIch5h4W_S9w_BlqlDBpqbPaNnvgN9j6m1R_1eAMtTaWFFAyL_RzK1WGWnMguRFOibPRJ7YhxhSgctDjqvQUroAmhzhRaMCHtIBI/s400/DSCN2839.JPG" /></a>Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02487480819280303507noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833036376902716373.post-34620440860828701672010-01-23T12:08:00.002-07:002010-01-23T12:33:50.507-07:00Our very own little ChristmsBefore we spent the day with the Moffitt's and Smith's, we wanted to have our own little Christmas.

It was so sweet, it made me cry. He wrote me the sweetest letter saying that all he wants for Christmas, he already has: Kate and I. He just wants us to be happy. With the letter, he gave me a coupon book that I get to use throughout the year! Some of them were . . . He gets to do ALL the laundry. I get to win this argument automatically. A professional massage. A date night with flowers, dinner, and a movie. He gets to mop the floor. My favorite one in the book was the very last one . . . </div><div>A NEW BABY!!!! </div><div>I can't wait to redeem this coupon! It will hopefully happen this year, but we need to choose our time wisely. Before this present, Ryan and I were on different pages. He wanted to wait another year before we start trying, and I wanted to start trying now.

We all made her a beaded watch bracelet. It was funny watching her pull them out one by one. You can see in the pictures that she's getting more and more excited the more she pulls out! We also went in on a TV for her bed room. We figured it was time for her to retire her 15 year old 12" TV with an attached VCR!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430008110532515362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN_mpfDuIv8dkMLpey9W3kM_CPUjCdmN6G44OQBi1Fx6kP4SlSvdIR66hZ9EoP0sY9de51ZMmsxKqAVxD5tTORrAbPbcpNPtEpWyPVeh-sjAucMgb8RQyefux7BMzHJZ6emlkScKNeSSzS/s400/December+2009-1.jpg" /><br />For Christmas this year we decided to not exchange gifts. But of course, Kelly found a loop hole around that one! She was so kind enough to put together our family video's on a DVD for all of us. Here we are watching some of them. Most of them were when my Dad was still around.

I'll tell you why, because I want to put all my post's in a book sometime, and I would be so sad if I didn't have this in my book. So I'm really trying to play catch up!<br /><br />After having a fabulous time with the Moffitt's, we went to Emily's (a cousin) church to get together with the Peterson side. We figure with the amount of people there are, it would be easier to meet at a church versus someones home.<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center">Here is everyone eating the yummy Thanksgiving dinner</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427049166081789986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjda0VA3SvRlf2LuAJc4Yksi9xnjMcA9u0xi-pbayVGewxrU7Ub5L7-sR3anJies1QrNwGfGqpWzj0P4SZZtFyNeTDjHS_zPuLdqyjgNcrADNEQ5G3T_OpH5NJQNR63OE_VivyxuGqFB0sd/s400/2009-12-74.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427049155956704002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9TR2MIJTJVQsaFZnMloPMCLYXgds2afRZeKgEalo9E2LHh2t9nsKkL9VZocQSVWG2aFDWPGSsUZXCyZopJIizF6i07eQoo_uRAnZ3keM00qMn0e0UIvViaY-E6yoGAylKAJ2L_1pkOCpM/s400/2009-12-9.jpg" />After eating, we thought it would be fun to play some big group games. Jamie taught us the funnest game. I'm not sure what it's called, but we pretty much make a fool out of ourselves! She tells us a saying, and we have to act it out. One was you have to get five people in a boat and pretend your rowing. One was you have to pick someone up and hold them like a baby. Another one was act like a pirate with a bird on your shoulder. Another one was man overboard, one person was on all four's and the other one puts their foot on your back, and pretend to look for someone overboard. The point is, if there isn't enough people to do that task, they are out of the game.
