I Made it Out Alive!

Man! After 6 hours in the editing bay I thought I was going to just bleed from my eye balls. My son was uber cranky and tired and Josh and I were about ready to rip each other's head off. But one good thing did come from this. I have the video portion of my portfolio completed. *Whoot *Whoot! Party over hee-ya! (Here)

So teaching Relief Society sounds like a tedious, daunting task doesn't it? Kind of makes you want to shake in your "one-million dollar loafers." But man... after putting 4 hours of preparation into it I think I did a fairly good job. It wasn't nearly as scary as last time ... and I had a lot of feedback. Thank you ladies! :)

Well, I'm at the library and I here my son playing in the play area with daddy... meaning he's getting noisey... so signing off is a must. Have a great week everyone!

Love Nichole

A Little Bit Busy ... Exhausted Full Time

Man. Today has been a crazy/ busy day. I've been working on my portfolio all week, and today Josh and I drove to Ellensburg and spent the ENTIRE day in the Editing Bay. Oh yes. I didn't think I'd be doing that ever again. I'm actually putting all my video stories that are on tape onto a DVD, and it's taking forever. The picture on the left is the only professional picture I have (BLAH!) and so it's the one I'm using as my main menu background. 

My video portfolio isn't all I've been working on however. Oh no. I've been gathering all my writings: research papers, thesis', and print journalism stories. I've also been sorting through all of my art projects and pictures so that they may be added to the final portfolio as well. Needless to say being pregnant, and having a 13-month old son running around while I'm trying to accomplish this task in a timely manner is next to impossible. 

On top of my portfolio, I've also been called to be the 4th Sunday Relief Society teacher. Goodness save us all! LOL! So, yes. That means I have the lesson this Sunday, and No. I haven't prepared for it yet. ACK! But that's okay. I'll spend the majority of my Saturday studying and preparing... I hope. HAHA! 

So, I was talking with my sister yesterday and apparently I can't do math. Yes I'm dyslexic, however... I'm also a moron! LOL! The Britney Spears concert (which I'm TOTALLY PUMPED to go to) is on April 9th. I'm due July 23rd. Therefore I won't be 8-mo. pregnant. Oh no, I'll only be 6-mo. pregnant. My bad. :) Just thought I'd correct myself before someone else caught on. 

Love Nichole :)

How About a Puzzle. You Decide the Final Picture

Well Well Well. It definitly has been awhile since I've updated my Blog, and all of my friends and family about the Gaerner family chaos. And trust me. PLENTY has happened.

Aiden went trick-or-treating in October. He was Tigger and it was just plain adorable. At one point he even had whiskers and a black nose. Needless to say that wasn't the wisest choice as parents! Haha! The picture on the left is Aiden playing peek-a-boo. Believe it or not, that has to be his favorite game. He even plays it with strangers at church, and old women in the grocery market.

Aiden started taking his first steps with out any help from mama and daddy at 10 months, and walking free by 11 months. He turned a whopping ONE year old in December. Can you believe it? My baby is one already. It's insane how quickly time has flown by. The cake face smash was at his second birthday party at our apartment. Heidi and her family came, and of course Randy, Tasha, and Tripp came over for the crazy event. The picture on the right is actually on Aiden's birthday. He's playing with a massive seagull plastic toy at the mall. They have this playground in the middle of the mall where the kids go wild. I was worried Aiden was going to get ran over... but low and behold my SON was the one doing the running over! He's just like his mama! haha!

Man! I wish this picture would be right side up! Oh well, this is Aiden's very first real encounter with the snow. He was kind of confused by how cold it could be. He likes fluffy things, but not when they're fluffy, wet, and cold! lol!

Well......... for my final announcement. I'm going to the Britney Spears concert in April!!! YAY! I'm going with my best friend from high school, Jessica and I'm going to be 8 MONTHS PREGNANT!
So? What does that mean for now???.............. I'm almost 4 months preggers y'all! And the heart beat is strong. :)

This is the picture of me pregnant with Aiden... but I thought it would be a good visual for anyone who thought they'd just scan the pictures. lol. Although I'm only 14 weeks right now, I'm surely showing! I've lost a lot of weight again, due to sickness. AND LET ME TELL YOU! How on earth do women have 6 children? I've already told Josh if this is a girl, I'm done! This sickness crap is definitly not cutting it for me. And the wierd feeling is... we think it is a girl!

The ultra sound will be at the end of February ... so until then ... WISH US LUCK! And me and baby good health!

Love Nichole and the family
