Alma's Wedding!

We went down to San Antonio for my sisters wedding. It was so amazing! The ceremony was great and Alma was beautiful. It was a a crazy week with my mom in the hospital and trying to get everything ready for the wedding but it sure turned out beautiful. It was great to get out of the cold and back to the nice weather in Texas. It was a quick trip once again but I at least got to see Kyle, Bre and Amy. We had lunch with Kyle and Bre on friday in the midst of doing some last minute shopping and waiting for my mom to be releases from the hospital. It was so good to be together again. It was so much fun. Amy and Tim came to the reception. We did not get to see them long but it was great to spend some time with them. All in all it was a good trip but i wish we could have stayed a little longer. My brother gave me my honda back so we drove back to idaho. It was a long drive but we were blessed to have great friends along the way that allowed us to stay and break up the trip a bit. The first day was the worst. 17 hours in the car to get to Phoenix. Addyson did so well. She just kicked it in the back seat watching her movies.We stayed at the Wilks that night and then met up with them the next day in St.George. They were there visiting their kids and grandkids. It was so good to see them. They are so good to us and we miss them so much. We cant wait till Jason is done with school so we can get back to Arizona, we love it there. Jasons parents are amazing and got us a hotel room for that night. It was so nice and the beds were AMAZING!! The next day we hung out with the Wilks, had lunch and then drove to Salt Lake where we stayed with my amazing friend Jamie.She was so kind to let us stay with her, she even cooked us dinner!! It was great to get to see her again and meet her little boy. Then next morning we just kinda took it easy and did some shopping and then headed back up to Rexburg. Like i said , it was a long trip but breaking it up made it so easy and fun. We had a blast! I have pics from the wedding put Alma has not even seen them yet so i will get them to her first then i will post some.

Clearly I Forgot... Thanks Kate

My good friend Katie pointed out to me that I forgot to tell you all what I am having. So here it is......
ITS A GIRL!!!!! It is true. Since i really dont like girls Heavenly Father has seen it fit to send me 2. I guess I am supposed to learn something here. Just kidding. We are very excited to have another baby around the house and way excited to see Addyson take on the role as BIG SISTER! She really loves kids and loves to play. She is going to be so good. We are not 100% positive on the name but for right now we have decided  on Laney Ann Paul. Both our mom's middle names are Ann/Anne so we wanted that as a middle name for sure and we really liked the name Laney. We will see if it sticks. I am 31 weeks and doing great. This baby is sitting way diff than Addyson did. I never was really uncomfortable with her but this baby is killing me. She is still feet down so she uses my bladder as a trampoline. It really sucks.But other than that things are great!!! That's all i have for now.
Till next time....

wow so i realize I am really bad at this whole blogging thing. I always forget to update. Things have been crazy around here the last month. We all have been sick at one point or another. Addyson got it, then Jason then me. It was not run. I am just starting to feel better. Still no energy but at least i can breathe out of one of my nostrils. That makes me happy. Things here are great! The snow is beautiful and it has not been too cold. Jason is off track and FINALLY got a job at Melaleuca. We waiting about 2 months for them to find him something. He started last week and seems to really like it.

Valentines day was great. Jason got me a really nice camera I have been wanting for a long time. Also when i got into work on Monday there was a big thing of flowers sitting on my desk with a box of chocolates. HE IS THE BEST! I got Jason a subscription to one of his favorite magazines called Dwell and somethings for his new XBOX 360. Here is the best part we paid nothing out of pocket for it. We had a wii and never really played it. So we put it up on craigslist just to see what would happen and it sold that same day! We were able to get the 360 and like 5 games plus the whole set of rockband and still have money left over! It was great! We LOVE it!

Addyson is getting so big, I just cant believe it. It makes me so sad that she is not my little baby anymore, but as i watch her grow my heart is filled with such joy. She is such a happy little girl and boy does she love her daddy. It makes my heart melt to see them together. We got some pics taken of her yesterday and we should get them back in about 2 weeks.

Baby #2 is doing great as well. I am 29 weeks and doing great. We cant wait to meet this one. Addyson is going to be such a great big sister. She loves to fed other kids and push them down just so she can help them back up and pat their backs. She is too funny. She is so much like me, it is nuts! I am screwed!!!! This is where I get my payback huh?

My sister is getting married next month!!! I am so proud of her! She is going to be a beautiful bride! I cant wait to see her!

Here are some pics of Addyson for the last month.

Time for a new post.

ok so it has been a while since i last posted anything on here so i have alot of catching up to do. So we had Thanksgiving and it was so much fun. It was my first year to cook a turkey. It turned out so good! We had so much food! It was amazing. We ate alot and played alot of games. It was a fun 4 day break from school and work.
Addyson is getting so big so fast. She has so much personality it is crazy. She still signs and is learning more and more everyday. She doesnt really say much but i am ok with that for right now cause once she starts there is no stopping her. I can already tell she is very independent and stubborn. I wonder where she gets that? She is so funny though.I just love her!
As for the other baby it is growing fast. I started to feel the real kicking this week and it moving like crazy! I love this part of being pregnant! It is the best. We find out what it is on mon. I think it is a boy but will be crazy excited for either. We shall see.
We attempted to take family pics and they turned out ok but I have decided to go get them done somewhere, i just think they look ghetto and cheap just taken in the house. So i am on the hunt for a good photographer. We shall see what i find.
Other than that things here are great! Jason is done with school tomorrow and he has off for 4 months! He has applied at Melaleuca as well . Everything went great with his interview they are just trying to find a spot for him. That is a really good sign, it is so hard to get a job there. We are going home to Texas this year for Christmas and i am so excited! It will be nice to see family and friends. Here are some pics of the the last couple months.

Halloween!!!

We did not get to do much for Halloween because i had to work till midnight, but my boss was nice enough to let me off for 2 hours to take Addyson Trunk or Treating! She didn't know what to think at first but then she warmed up and started taking candy from people. It was fun. We also got to take her to Melaleuca for some Trick or Treating. She was really scared there. She would not let Jason put her down. She is getting so big. It is so sad. She is learning so much and so fast. She can sign baby, eat, milk and last night we think she did the sign for mommy but we are not sure. She is so freaking cute. She is already starting to test limits and see what she can get away with. She will try and grab Jason's phone charger. She starts to walk over to it and I say "dont touch" and she will stop and look at me through the corner of her eye and wait for me to turn my head and then she will inch along the bed till i say "dont touch " agian and the she will do it all over again. She is a nut!
Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks.
Oh also she loves music. Last week at church she was flipping through the Hymn book and singing really loud during relief society. It was really funny.
