Las Vegas

This past weekend we went to Las Vegas and then to St.george to see Kyles baby and here are some pictures of the fun! Sorry if some of them are majorly blurry its cause they are from my phone.

Water show at Belagio my personal favorite!

This was at the Ethel M chocolate factory. Me and the kids went with Katie while Matt and Brandon went to the twisted Christmas concert. There were tons of lights and they gave us chocolate but we missed Santa but we sat in his chair for a picture. They loved the lights!

This was Friday morning at the hotel they were all cuddled together.. So cute

Kyle & Danielle's baby

He came :) and he weighed 6lbs 9oz

and at 6am that is all I know... I think his name

is little Feller but I dont have a confirmation

on that one ;)

Lexi got her ears pierced!

This past weekend Brandon and I went to Fallon just to get out of this hole and on Sat. he ended up going with his dad and Mitch to get pine nuts so Kristen, Shelley, me and the kids went to Reno and went shopping and while we were there Brandon said I could get Lexi's ears pierced so before he could change his mind I went ahead and did it.. I was scared and she did so good... She barely cried and they look so cute... we had alot of fun with them and when we were leaving the mall there were like 30 or more ducks and shelley gave the kids bread to feed them and it was so cute but of coarse I didn't have my camera :'( dangit!

oh and we have mice really bad so I went to get a cat last night and the cat attacked Lexi (bottom left picture) So we didn't get that cat! I felt so bad and she didn't even touch it she just went up to it and smiled at it and called it Annie and it reached up and scratched her and hissed at her and she was being so cute... what an evil Cat!

way behind on pictures!

I am way behind on bloging with pictures and so I thought I could catch up a little:)

Jenni gave Lexi this way cute lil chef outfit and she just loves it!

Here is the Lil man he is getting so big! I need to take more pictures of him

This is what happens when Brandon decides its okay that he didn't find all of the crayons to put away:) Lexi finds them and she loves to color!

This was camping on Labor day... I look like crap but oh well right... Oh and Lexi's Battle wounds from when we went fishing with Kyle, Danielle and Jake and Lexi was with Kyle and fell down the hill and Kyle still cant forgive himself and she is all healed up.

This is the aquarium that we went to back in August... Ileana called and invited us to go with them and it was pretty fun and I loved the clown fish :) Brock was so scared of the sting rays and it was so cute! Alexis on the other hand grabbed one.. what a maniac

LOVE THESE!!

Okay so I LOVE these and I want to make them hopefully I will get around to it!

Halloween

For some strange reason I am really excited for Halloween this year and I got my decorations out today and all ready to put up tomorrow :) so I thought I would decorate my blog too :)

Latest Project

so this is my latest project (its for landons room)... just thought id share :)

Family Reunion

This past weekend we had the Hansen Family reunion and it was lots of fun... My cousin Anthony was baptised and then Landon was blessed afterwards... Im glad that my whole family was able to be there, wish we lived closer

Landon Keith Whitaker

Today I decided to try to put my camera to use and take some pictures of landon so I thought I would share.. enjoy:)

Pictures

Here are some pictures of the lil man and I made these collages with my left hand while nursing so sorry they are kinda crazy.

4th.. sorry its so late :)

These are pictures from the 4th.. We went to our friends house and had really yummy food and the kids played and went down the slide and Lexi loved it until she got cold. When it was dark the kids did poppers & sparklers and Shelley gave out glow sticks and Lexi thought it was pretty fun.. Sorry the picutres aren't in any order...

Landon Keith Whitaker

He is here!! I will post pictures later but we had him yesterday July 10 at 12:34 pm and he weighed 8lbs 8oz and was 21in long. He looks just like Lexi and is so cute. I was only in labor for 3 hours and I had a perfect delivery with honestly no pain, couldn't ask for more then that. I was able to push and take pictures at the same time and my doctor thought that was the funniest thing he had ever seen. He thanked me about 5 times for waiting until he got back from vacation. Gotta Love Dr. Reimer :) So anyways I feel great and he is doing great and I will post pictures later

Having the baby!

So I just thought I should let everyone know that I am still pregnant... I dont think I am enjoying the last moments of it like I should because really Friday will for sure be the last day that I will be pregnant no matter what, but oh well... It is hot and I am big and fat and huge and I cant squeeze thru tight spaces or sleep on my belly(or at all really) and I am so done being pregnant.. I told him he can come out now and let someone else hold him but he hasn't done anything so im still waiting... Doctor Reimer is back today, yay! and so I am officially starting walking tonight to try to get things moving.. I have been really holding back trying to do all of the things to "start labor" because I didnt really want to have another doctor but I am going for it now so if anyone has any suggestions let me know :)

little update

So I am terrible at bloging but I wont take full resposibility for that because I had a cookbook I had to make that was 150 pages and then my computer got a wicked virus and so I had to get it fixed... Anyways I am still here and still pregnant... Lexi is getting so big and saying lots of fun stuff... She says Landon, buh buh, mommy, daddy, stop, uh oh, yukee, hot (hots), outch, and many other things.. It was so fun she kinda just had a vocabulary burst... She has started shaking her head no if she doesn't want something and she loves to play with her babies... She loves snacking and hanging out with her dad and I just love her to death she is so fun to watch grow and play now I just need to prepare myself mentally for the new baby... I feel so crazy as it is right now and like such a space that I just hope I can get it together to take care and cherish both of them... I am officially 1-2cm which really is nothing and I am staying in Fallon until I have the lil man... The doctor said I haven't dropped which is crazy, I guess he means he is still in there because I swear if he was any lower he'd be out :)... But anyways 1-2cm haven't dropped and not thinned out at all, BUMMER!! So he said to come back next thursday and we'd check it out again and then my real doctor will be back on the 5th and he sounded like i'd still be pregnant then... But I am hoping to prove him wrong because this whole being a million months pregnant is just not desirable....

What to do?

What is there to do when life gets you down? I mean really... I know I am doing the whole poor poor me thing but my husband is just a jerk lately, I am soooo sick of being pregnant and feeling like I cant even be a good mother because I can hardly move, and there is so much I want done around my house that I cant do/ my husband wont do (inside & out) so seriously what is a good way to cheer up? Because I am sick of being the wet blanket and not being happy.

cousins

On mothers day we were able to go be in Fallon to talk to Brandon's brother Spencer who is in Mexico on a mission. While we were there we saw most of Brandon's siblings so we took the opportunity to take cousin pictures and have lexi's birthday party. So here are the cousin pictures, they are too cute of kids!

How is it?

How is it that every week, week after week I can watch Grey's Anatomy and never get bored of it and it can always find some way of making me bawl my eyes out? Love that show!... and Private Practice too but that show gets my heart racing and makes me so nervous that I feel like I could throw up and then it totally leaves me hanging. Im worried about Violet.

I want to move :(

So if anyone has any great jobs making around $23/ hour in a normal town let me know. I am so sick of crummy ol Round Mountain that i could seriously cry. My house is a dive and old and I want to be in a normal size town with more normal people and at least one nice restraunt and a movie theater or a bowling ally to be able to go on a date. Oh and there must be aleast on fast food restraunt for those lazy nights when I dont want to cook. I also must have a nice house that is normal and not thrown together with whatever junk someone found lying around.... I know I am asking for alot, IM SO VAIN!!

bad at blogging

So I am really bad at keeping everyone up- to- date with what is going on at the Whitaker house.. I promise to be better and put more fun stuff on here.. I either dont take pictures or dont blog them but I have a whole bunch from Cali and I am home now so I can get all those fun pictures up soon :)

Trip to Cali.. At the Temple

This past week we were able to go to California and go to the temple with Brett and Jenni and their kids... It was a truly awesome experience and they were so cute here are some pictures of that special day :)

Valentines

This year for Valentines was very good at the Whitaker home.. Mom got roses and a chi... Dad got a hotdog roller, corn dogs, and a fishing game and rod for the wii... and Lexi got a rose from daddy and a piano from her mommy and she loved it.. she was giving the flower the fake smile and trying to lick it but she still loved it!

Tubbby Time

So we have gone through stages where Lexi HATES with a passion her tubby time but I found some things that help... Bubbles... Splashing... a wash rag to play with... ABC toys... and a cup... These are all must haves for the princess in the tubby :)

Smiles

Lately Lexi has started doing this fake smile with a scrunchy nose and while I couldn't get a picture of it I did get lots of smiles from her because I had the camera out. As soon as she sees the camera she will pose and smile and totally work the camera and it is totally cute so I had to share.

Baby

Its a BOY!!

I am officially 16weeks 1day today

and it is for sure a boy that is very

proud of it! The first thing we saw

when she started the ultrasound was

a lil man part. :) Brandon is very excited!

New Puppy

We got this puppy about 2 weeks ago but I haven't been able to post these pictures yet... Lexi absolutly loves him and his name is Cody... He is so well behaved for being a Lab puppy which is a good thing with crazy Lucy around... We are trying to decide on a name for his papers and Brandon has a few in mind and I figure naming puppies is good for him and then I will name the kids.. He wants to name him Thadeus J. Cody and I kinda thought Dakota Jay Thadeus was good but I will just let him have at it!
