Little Update

Thought I would document the little things that are going on in our house right now. First off though I forgot to post in my Thanksgiving post about the movie Four Christmases. Wade's grandparents wanted to take us to a movie. How nice right? Well we chose to go see Four Christmases. The ENTIRE time I wanted to crawl under my seat and cry. That movie was so awful, so inappropriate, so perverted, and so disgusting. I wish we hadn't been with grandparents because I felt so incredibly uncomfortable. I thought it would be a cute Christmas movie...Nothing Christmas about that gross movie. So if you have not seen it yet, I am warning you now! And if you have seen it...What did you think?

So I really have never posted some of our family pictures we got done. I just got them onto my computer and thought I would share. To go along with each picture I will share what we are up to.

Yesterday I had my four month baby appointment. I was nervous to go because she had ordered my to do a bunch of tests to see where my health was at. Also my BP was high so I was nervous to see what it would be at. Well, thankfully my BP was totally normal. My blood work and tests came back healthy as can be too! I am so grateful that for now I am a happy, healthy pregnant girl. We also got to hear the baby this time and even though this is not a new sound for me, it was still just a special as hearing Brooklyn's little heart beat.
Wade and I are finally getting his law school apps. in. Wade has worked sooooo hard and has perfected every single part. We are really happy with the whole package. We have chosen 6 schools for now and will send more in come the first of the year. For now our top 6 are: BYU, Gonzaga, Texas Tech, Uni of Idaho, and Uni of Utah and UNLV. Then we will add some mid west schools. We can't wait to see what is going to happen:)

This cute girl is getting potty trained. We have had our ups and downs with it. She totally gets it, knows what to do on the potty, tells me when she needs to go, and is so, so excited about the whole thing. But... she has a hard time with the whole bladder control thing. She literally has to go every 15 minutes and a few times every 5 minutes. So it is near impossible for her to be able to tell me every time. So we are going to keep trying until tomorrow and then we might take a break and try again in the beginning of January.

I am finishing up this HARD semester finally. This semester has been the hardest for me and has forced me to be overwhelmed with everything going on. It is so hard being a mom and going to school full time. Thankfully I am almost done...with this semester:(

We are going to go and get our tree this weekend. Then we will start decorating. I am going to force the 3 of us to really get into the real spirit of Christmas. I love this time of year and I am not going to let our busy lives get in the way of giving love, service, and happiness to others and each other!

I still need to order my Christmas cards. I am lagging. See I told you that I am overwhelmed and could possibly get so busy and not get into Christmas. So first things first, I need to get those ordered and sent out. Especially since these pictures are too cute not to put on a Christmas card.

I love the family picture in front of the doors with Wade standing. It's so cute! I just ordered my Christmas cards at Costco and they are so cute. You have to order at least 50 but they are $14.99 and they are big (6 by 7.5) and they have cute designs to choose from. Anyways I miss talking to you. I'll have to call you sometime. We need to get together. I need to go to Target maybe tomorrow?!?!? I'm glad to hear that the pregnancy is going so smoothly! That's some good news. Talk to you soon.

Wow, you are one busy girl! I know it is tough to be a Mom and go to school, but hang in there you can do it! I love all your family pics. I will have to send you our new address for the Christmas cards. And such good news that your BP is normal right now. That is awesome! Good luck with everything and don't worry about not e-mailing me. I completely understand.

You are so on the point about the movie. I went to see it too and couldn't believe that Reese would do a stupid movie like that. I kept thinking that we should have went to see Twilight again instead of that crazy movie.
Glad to hear that your pregnancy is going good.
