The Excitement is overwhelming!!!

Two weeks from today I will be on my way to Wyoming with my 2 little men. YAY!
I can't believe it's been 14 month's since we last saw Derek's Family. The kiddos were so little. this first picture is from then! Skyler is SO BIG now!



I am so excited to spend some much needed time with my Sister Jessica ;) and Derek's Mom and Dad. We will get to Laramie the night of the 15th and then when the weather looks good Jess the kids and I will head to Lovell. We will be there for a month before Derek and Paul join us for Christmas.



While writing this post I realized that I don't have any pictures of Jess and I. So that is one of my goals while there. Let's see if I can do it this time! LOL!

I also get to see all of my wonderful Family. My cousin Kasi is getting married and I get to see all of the new family members. I haven't been home for 2 years so there has been a lot of additions!
I am counting down the days!

Family Pictures!

Some very good friends of ours are photographers and we have had them take our pictures the last 2 years! I have always wanted to be a photographer so I asked them if I could mess around with a program on my computer!
They said YES! So here is what I have come up with!





One of these collages will be the picture we send with Christmas cards this year!





I had so much fun and I can't wait until we one day have enough money so that I can get a camera. When Derek gets out of School I will be able to go and have my tuition paid for because Derek is a Veteran! Awesome deal I think
Well I hope you enjoyed!

I was Bored!


Okay So I have been in bed for the last week recovering from my miscarriage, I tried to get up and clean but my body wasn't ready.
So I decided that if I didn't do something to keep me busy I would go insane.
So as I was surfing on line I found these adorable trick-or-treat bags for sale. I knew I could make something a lot bigger if I tried so I decided to try =)
Above is my Pirate Spider - He is Skyler's Trick - or - Treat bag
Googly Ghost is Alexander's bag

and Missy Witchy is for my niece Aftyn!


THey are just a little bit bigger than a cereal box and I had such a blast! I think this is the most fun craft I have done!
SO...
I have decided to sell them! If you would like one just give me a call or message me.
I can also make a Frankenstein if you would like!

Baby Vent!

Mommy & Skyler - 2 days old

Mommy & Alexander - 6 months old


So we have been trying to get pregnant again. Sunday I started bleeding and I ended up having a miscarriage. It's a little devastating, especially because this is #2 miscarriage, but because I didn't know I was pregnant it is a little easier. I will tell you what the hardest part is though...

Everyone around me is PREGNANT!!!! There are about 8-10 women in my ward that are pregnant. I have friends and Aunts and cousins that are pregnant too! I think I could scream! Sounds crazy but when I sit here wallowing knowing I won't get a little round belly I know I could go to the store and there would be tons of little pregnant happy mommy' s to be shopping in the baby section!! UGH! I can't escape it and I don't want to face it! Yeah I am venting! I just needed to get it off my chest!
I love all of my friends and family and I am so excited for those mom's who are expecting! Maybe I will be able in a few months!

I know that the Lord has a lot in store for me and all of my children, present and future. I am so grateful for the two wonderful boys that He has Blessed me with and a loving and caring husband who is so supportive and kind through all of this! He even let's me have ice cream whenever I want it! =) And the remote control! What a stud!
So I guess for now I just get to be baby hungry! Glad I have Kristy to let me hold Cohen whenever I am around!
