Oh sure, he looks cute................

So, as many of you know, my dog and I have a love/ hate relationship. He really has gotten a lot better since we got him a year ago but he is still just a puppy. Shawn absolutely adores him and since he really doesn't do anything that bad when he is being naughty Shawn mostly just thinks he is hilarious. And I have to admit, when he body slams himself into the bedroom door for fun- I have to agree. But this, this has gone too far.

Since we built our house we got to pick out everything in it from the cabinets and doors to the doorknobs and light fixtures. One of my favorite things that we picked out was our carpet. I absolutely love my carpet. It is soft and thick and multi-colored so you can't see dirt. I absolutely love it. Mose sleeps at the end of our bed in his kennel. There is a tray at the bottom of it that he likes to push out so he can sleep on the carpet. Apparently, he likes to do more than sleep on it

It's A Girl!

So we went to the doctor today and found out that we are having a girl! I am so excited!! Although Shawn and I had just agreed on a name we both really liked for a boy. But we will hopefully have one next time. Now our goal is to go through all the girl clothes that Ginger gave us and put them away.

We did get a 3-D Ultrasound done and it was really cool to see that- we got to see her moving around and she poked herself in the eye a couple of times, but just looking at the pictures, they are kind of creepy :o) So we will just post the regular sonogram pictures.

We do have a couple of names picked out but nothing for sure, the one I want Shawn is not really that fond of so we are still at the drawing board at this point

Baby

There is no big news on the baby front except that I am the worst pregnant person ever. I seriously think I am dying when I have a cramp or something. It will be a miracle if we have another one! Shawn of course does not help matters. He is so cute- always telling me to call the doctor or making me lay down and getting me drinks. I have a feeling that he is not going to be this way with the next one :o) But I love that I have a husband that is so concerned about me- and he reads What to Expect When You're Expecting every week to see how much the baby has grown and the new features it has. It is so adorable! He is so excited for this baby, but I have to remember that he has never been around babies or pregnant people so it is all new for him

But, we find out what it is in 2 weeks!! November 5th- I seriously cannot wait! So, I will keep you updated on that~

Maddy

We were at Mom and Dad's for dinner tonight and Maddy wanted to make sure that she would not be left behind when they moved to New York. The only question is, would this be allowed as a carry on?

Then she climbed on my lap so I would sing itsy-bitsy spider- I didn't expect to hear the laugh I did when I got to the end of the song and tickled her. She is so cute- you are forever on my bad list Ginger for taking her away from me!

Scrapbook Convention

I only had 1 picture from the convention- we had our shirts made and everyone wanted to make sure we got a picture in them. The only problem was we kept forgetting so right before bed we had to throw them on over our PJ's and ask some guy in the hallway of the hotel to take the picture. We were all pretty tired at this point!


We had tons of fun and I am so glad that Tricia was able to fly up. Of course, her and Ginger talking and laughing histerically at 4 in the morning didn't help those of us trying to sleep :o)

Mose

Shawn took this funny video of Mose. He let him outside while it was raining. Apparently, he thinks that the rain is attacking him so feels the need to attack back. Side note- I am new at adding videos so I didn't split it. You don't have to watch it through to the end- trust me!

Quilting

Okay, so I think Paul has already blogged this but I had some cool pictures. The ward had an activity to make quilts. Well, since Paul is on the activities committee he blackmailed us to go. Don't get me wrong, I would have gone but who wants to go quilt at 9 in the morning on a Saturday?



Paul of course had to make a shirt~
The best part was Dad. He was on a mission! He brought his iPod and jammed the whole time



This is my favorite picure. Dad is all business and Mom is trying to fix everyone else's errors (mostly mine)

Alycia and Sierra. We were mess up buddies. Mom and Ginger didn't want us to help them because we weren't "skilled". Whatever, I helped

Ginger was mad that I took this picture- but I had to show the lengths she will go to to "overachieve" :o)
So it was succesful and the ward got all 25 quilts done. But the problem is everyone thought our family was so entertaining that ever since ward members keep asking to be invited to family dinners. Sometimes, we feel like freak shows
