Yuma

We have been talking about visiting my sister in Yuma for a few months now, and last weekend we finally were able to go! It was a ton of fun being able to see their new house (which I guess isn't really that new anymore) and hang out with their family. We drove down Friday afternoon, played with the kids, enjoyed a delicious dinner, and even had a chance to talk and play games with Cynthia and Chris after the kiddos went to bed. Saturday we went to a camel farm and got to see and feed some different animals.

Kaylee didn't want the animals touching her, but she had a lot of fun throwing the food at them.

I didn't realize that camel was getting so close!

This guy was one of my favorite animals. It's part zebra part donkey - a zedonk!

After lunch and a little relaxation we went to this sweet park that the kids love!

Robert imitating the camels we saw earlier that day.

They could almost be twins!

Benson up in the tower!

Kaylee loved showing Robert around and having him go down the slides with her


A person-breathing dragon! This slide was long and dark, but as long as Robert went up with her, Kaylee loved sliding down!

Thanks for the great weekend Cynthia and Chris!!

In other news, I'm now 22 weeks pregnant! Yay over half way there! At our last Drs. appointment we found out that it is "definitely a girl", we are super excited for when we will be able to meet our little bundle of joy come May. I don't have any "this is me at 5 months" pregnancy pics, so you will just have to use the ones above. Yes that is me 21 weeks pregnant, although I feel like I'm sticking out more now than I was last week...

Christmas...Finally

Christmas was a lot of fun this year, from dinner and gingerbread men decorating with the Jarmans, to Christmas caroling and story telling with the Fifes - a good time was had all around.

Christmas day Robert and I exchanged presents at home before all the big family stuff.

I crocheted this hat and scarf for Robert. I also got him a nintendo 64 and his favorite game mario kart - which he smokes me at pretty much every time we play.

Robert got me a super cute brown puffy vest, a puzzle, and 2 bracelets like the one he got me on our honeymoon that I lost. (Sorry no pics of me)

We then went of to my parent's house to open presents:

After the craziness died down a bit at the Fife's we went over to the Jarman house for food, fun and more presents!

It was a great year, and an amazing Christmas! We are especially excited about our newest nephew who was born on Christmas Eve - congrats to Will and Anja! Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!

Robert and Kaylee all cute and matching!

Sledgehammer Fun

About a week ago Robert went over to his sister's new house to break down a wall so the garage could actually be used as a garage. Here he is hard at work:

I got bored with watching so I thought I would give it a try too:

Before

After

There is no "after" picture for this one, but the explosion was awesome.

This is with only the bottom row and clean up left to do.

I ended up breaking down quite a bit of the wall, and had a ton of fun doing it!

Christmas Time is Here

December has been great so far! We got all of my parents old lights for the house, so we spent the day after Thanksgiving putting those up. I wanted to post a picture but unfortunately I kept putting it off, and now some of our lights don't work cause we blew a fuse. So hopefully sometime before Christmas we will get it fixed and be able to post a picture. Meanwhile here is our tree. (Which we also got from my parents - it was lucky for us that they decided to get all new stuff this year)

I had my Christmas baking day on Friday and made fudge, peanut butter rice krispy treats, and no bake cookies. I didn't actually use my oven at all, so I don't know if I can really call it "baking" but I don't really know what else it would be so.... I was so glad that my fudge turned out perfect this year! I had some trouble with it last year. Robert sampled all of it and told me that I was going to make him get fat. I guess that means he liked it all :)


We have been having a lot of fun going to different family parties and are looking forward to a couple more this week. I love this time of year and how people try extra hard to get to know one another and be nice! Hope everyone is doing well and not getting too stressed out!

Hopefully I will be updating soon with news about the baby's gender!!

Best husband ever

We had family temple night last Saturday, but I was not feeling well so I didn't go. Robert went without me, but due to extenuating circumstances didn't end up actually going. Instead he came back with these:


I have the sweetest husband ever!

New Stove

Robert came home from work the other day and said that he had a present for me. Uncle Dan was bringing it over because he had more room in his truck - so while we were waiting I tried to guess. But I was surprised when I saw this:











A pretty, new (used) flat stove. I've only cooked a few things in it so far, but I'm loving it!

Sorry no Pictures...

I've been putting off posting because I don't have any new pictures to share, but even I got tired of looking at my old posts so there ya go...

The pregnancy is going well I guess. I mean it is going well, but I'm sure not enjoying it much these days. Oh and for those you who didn't know... I'm pregnant!! I'm about 10 weeks along and am due May 29th. Me and Robert are both super excited and I'm especially excited for the second trimester to start - because hopefully I will stop feeling so sick.

Robert is finishing up the house he and his brother have been working on and should be getting it on the market by the end of the week.

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! And Happy November!
