So we found out that our little bundle of joy is a ....................drum roll please..................... It's a BOY!! ha ha, I know that we are all shocked! I totally thought that we were gonna have a girl. Colby swore that it was a boy but I thought he just wanted to argue with me! He had a dream way back when I was first pregnant and told me that it was a boy, but I didn't believe him. I told him that I would know because I have the motherly instinct. ha ha! But a week before we went to find out, I had a dream that I was holding this cute little baby boy and someone asked me who's he was. I told them that he was my sisters, and then my sister turned to me and was like, " Amanda, he is yours" like HELLO you retard you don't remember giving birth to him and I was like, .. no way I had a girl:) it was a funny dream. So I guess I always knew deep down that our little baby was a boy!

We had been wanting to find out forever and finally went to down to fetal studio in south town mall! I was so nervous and the baby was being stubborn keeping the goods hidden but we finally got a peek and there it was our little girl has boy parts!! ha ha! I am not gonna lie I was kind of bummed but I am so excited now! Our little boy is gonna be such a stud and I can' t wait to meet him! Let me know if you have any cute baby boy names. I am having a tough time.

Santa came to town!

Christmas this year was amazing! I loved waking up and being in my own house and just relaxing and opening Christmas presents with my Hubby! Colby was so cute he woke up early on Christmas and made sure that my stocking was put together before I got up! Then we took turns opening presents. Colby got me an Ipod and an exercise ball and DVD that I had been wanting since I am a huge whale! He also got me some clothes, perfume, Horton Hears a Who, a coloring book and crayons! ha ha and some of my favorite candy for my stocking! Then he surprised me with a little funny poem that he wrote to tell me that we were going to go on a little vacation to California!!! I am so excited to get away especially from the Snow! I got Colby a poker game that he can take with him when he works out of town. The dark knight, some cologne, American Idol for the XBox so he can practice is singing skills:) and a poker table complete with a poker night with the boys with treats and drinks provided wife FREE!!! ha ha that was his favorite part:)

Colby also got us a pretty sweet crib for the baby! I am excited to get it painted and put together the nursery!!

After opening presents we ate some Cinnamon rolls, played a little American Idol and got ready to go see our parents!! My dad cooked prime rib for X mas lunch and we had another feast!! We hung out there for a while and then went to Colby's moms and had ham and rolls and some good stuff there. So pretty much all we did was eat and sit and chat! It was a great Day

Christmas parties!

So it just so happened that this year both are family Christmas parties fell on the same day Dec 21st. My family had ours at 2:00 and Colby's moms was at 5:30 so it was a pretty crazy day! Colby got back from Wyo the night before and was so sinkin tired we went to my moms party and ate some amazing food and got stuffed to the point of no return and then we hung out for a about 15 min and went to lay down for a sec. The next thing we knew it was 5:30 and we were not only late for Colby's moms party but we had basically slept through my moms entire party! WOW did I feel like a jack 'A'! ha ha. I mean I can fall asleep at any given moment (especially now) but Colby never does that! For the part that I was awake I had fun and my mom had everything decorated so good and festive!

Colby's moms was fun too. We had a ginger bread house contest and although ours was horrible I think that we took the cake for the most creative toppings :) Colby decided that we couldn't be like everyone else and use the candy that came with the house! So he found cheese wiz and raisins and went to town! It was pretty gross and by the end of the night it really stunk like POO! like the Stinky Cheese house! Then we opened presents we drew names and me Chad and Carolyn had me and Colby, they gave us a kone dirt devil! I was so excited cause I had really been wanting one and it sure does come in handy to clean up messes! Thanks guys! SO all in all it was a successful night (minus the napping)!

Merry Freakin Christmas!

I can't believe that it is almost Christmas! Holy cow where did the year go?! Time really does fly when you're havin fun. It is so much fun this year to decorate our own house and have our own Christmas tree. I can't wait to wake up and open presents with my cute husband on Christmas morning. Last year I remember having to drive to Colbys house early in the morning in a snow storm to give him his presents. I slid off the road and was inches from sliding into a ditch, I had to get out in my slippers and PJ's and dig the snow away from the tires to get out! ha ha it is funny now but I was not a happy camper when I arrived to Colbys. But as always Colby made me laugh and I got over it fast. Then he spoiled me rotten and got me our Pug Meatball!! It was a great X-mas and I know this one is gonna be just as good! I am actually done Christmas shopping as of 2 days ago and I even managed to get Colby some suprises this year! I love Christmas and am so grateful for the gospel and the birth of our Savior! I hope we all remember the true meaning of Christmas this year!

I Hate Mondays!

So, I truly truly hate Mondays! I wake up most Sundays already starting to dread Monday morning, ( i know I need to adjust my attitude) but this week it was even worse. Colby was going out of town again this week to work in Wyo. AGAIN, and because of the bad weather he was going to leave Sunday afternoon instead of Monday morning to avoid the slick roads. He left at like almost 4 and expected to get up there around 7 work for a few hours and go to bed. Nothing went as planned. He didn't get up there until about 9:30. his truck was chuck full of paint and so after unloading it he was just going to go to bed. He had all stuff in a condo that he had stayed in the last time he was up there so he only had to bring a pad for the air mattress that he had. The only problem was that while he was home for the weekend somebody changed the locks to the condos and failed to mention it or leave a key. It was like -3 degrees in Green River and there Colby was with nowhere to sleep. He waited until about 10:30 for someone to try to find an extra key to let him in. But no such luck! So instead of going to a Hotel My husband does the stupidest thing that I can think of (and I mean that in the nicest way)! he decides to sleep on the mattress pad that he had brought on the floor of an unfinshed condo instead of paying $50 bucks for a hotel! He had no blankets or pillows mind you and it is winter duh! Plus he didn't even eat dinner! I didn't sleep at all last night, I was so mad and sad and scared at the same time! Really who does that?! I love that Colby is such a hard worker, but he really crossed the line this time! Maybe it is my hormones but I am really mad. All night I pictured my poor husband freezing cold on the floor with no blankets while I was in more warm bed! I felt so bad. And that is why I hate Mondays more that usual! Why are men so prideful and Stubborn?!

Baby Lemon

So our baby is now the size of a lemon (so I am told) but I feel like a whale so I am thinking more along the lines of at least a cantalope :) We have our second Drs apt this Friday and It is getting closer and closer to finding out if we are having a boy or a girl! I am so excited to find out and start decorating the nursery.

I am starting to get over the sickness and that is definitely a good thing. although my cravings have not! I can't get enough of salt and vinegar chips and fruit I could eat it all day long. i still love the blue Slurpee's but really can't stand sweets right now.... weird I know! I just can't believe that this time next year we will have a baby to celebrate Christmas with! I am so excited and scared to death. While Colby was gone this week I made the mistake of watching knocked up. I know, I know it is not such a clean show but it does have its funny parts. Except the whole delivery room part:( Which I found terrifying and not funny at all! After watching it was seriously freaking out about the actually delivery I even started crying and saying out loud, " I can't do it, I can't do it" in a very serious and panicked voice. ( yes I was alone which made it even better)! I had to call my sister the next day and have her lie to me and tell me that it is not that bad. She reassured me that once it actually comes time to deliver the baby you want it out so bad that you don't even care! I hope she is right! All I have to say is POOR COLBY and the DR!

Missing my Hubby

Warning.. May Be Cheesey!

Colby called me at work yesterday and told me that he had to leave out of town for the week for work :( I was really bummed about it cause he is gonna be gone all week (this is the longest we have been apart since we have been married and it sucks). But when I came home from work he had bought me a little present a people magazine and some Flipz chocolate covered pretzels!! I know to some people this present is really NOT cool. But Colby HATES people magazine and all the celebrity gossip. We have had numerous fights over me buying the magazine and watching the filth on E! ha ha. So I think that it is so sweet:) I love the little things like that that Colby does to let me know that he loves me! And although I hate it when he leaves to work out of town it makes me appreciate those things even more when he is not around. Love you Colby and I will miss you every second that you are gone!
