Free Homemade Gift Tag!

This is what you do:
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done this year.
4. You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a song. It may be a self portrait or maybe even some creation I haven't yet dreamed up. I may draw. I may bake you something and mail it to you. It may not be big or impressive. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! So come on, sign up!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!

Eating for Two!

Up until this week, I have been eating normal. This past week, I haven't been able to fit enough food into my mouth at once! I am constantly starving, and quite surprised at how much food I have been putting away! I don't even make it through the night without having to get up and eat. This has been the weirdest thing for me, because normally I don't let anything get in the way of my sleep! :) I am going to have to go shopping for maternity shirts really soon because my stomach has sure popped out this week too! My little girl must have hit some sort of a growth spurt this week...or maybe it will be like this for the next 5 months? I don't know, but there is no denying I am pregnant now! :)

In Loving Memory

Bronson Willard, 20, returned home to his Heavenly Father February 7, 2009 after a long battle with cancer. He was born January 5, 1989. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. Brons enjoyed riding horses, working hard, wake boarding, driving his jeep, hunting, and being with family and friends. He is an Eagle Scout and enjoyed serving and helping others. Brons was the life of the party and knew how to make people laugh. He is a great example of faith, courage, strength and love. He made such an impact on all that knew him and will forever be in our hearts. He is survived by parents Brent and Carrie Willard; siblings Emily & Brian Ashton, Brandon & Candace, Amanda, Dustin, Jason, Jordan, Sarah Willard; nieces and nephews whom he loved, Chaz, Ayla, Payton, Gunner; grandparents Dixie & Jim Jones, Norm & Eldoris Fenn, Rex & Judy Willard, Carol Bawden; and many extended family members who were such a big part of his life.
Funeral services will be held Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 11 am in the American Fork Stake Center, 240 South Center. Friends may call Wednesday evening from 6 to 8 pm at the Anderson & Sons Mortuary, 49 E 100 N, American Fork and Thursday at the church from 9:45 to 10:45 am. In lieu of flowers a memorial fund has been set up in Bronson's name at any Wells Fargo Bank. All the money donated will go to help cancer research. Bronson's dream was to find a cure. Thank you to all for the prayers and concern in Bronson's behalf. Each and every prayer has been answered. Online condolences may be sent at andersonmortuary.com

Bronson is my cousin who was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago. He was such an example to everyone he came in contact with. The last thing Bronson wanted to do before he died was to go through the temple. We had the opportunity to go through the temple with Bronson 2 weeks ago. The spirit there was amazing and it will be an experience we will never forget. His funeral was today, it was a very nice service. The church was packed; he had touched many lives. We love you Bronson!

We are having a BABY!


It's a GIRL!!!!

Here is a picture of our little girl! We are 14 weeks along now. We went to Fetal Fotos tonight and had an ultrasound! My due date is August 2! So for those of you that have a hard time with ultrasound pictures her face is right below where it says face. Her arm is up by the face. She is almost upside down in the picture. The second picture is a picture of her little feet. I thought it was so cute!

I have been feeling pretty good for the most part! Morning sickness, has only been in the morning! I have been very grateful for this, since last time I threw up all the time. Since I have started my 2nd trimester I have felt so much better!
We are so excited!!!!

Family Home Evening Kits

Since I work at a call center, I usually get pretty bored in between phone calls! I have started to color family home evening kits at work. I figure I have the time now, and might not when I have kids!
I found a website called http://hatchpatchcreations.com/ they have some great kits! These lessons have everything from the lesson/story, picutres, game, scripture, and a treat recipe! Check out the sample kit! I would like to put together a group! If anyone is interested in joining my group and placing some orders please let me know. We would get our kits for $3.00 a piece for the black and white ones, and $5.00 for the colored ones. They come on heavy card stock paper. I would be willing to color a few lessons for you too!

Christmas Shopping Procrastination!

Here it is... 6 days before Christmas!!! This month has flown by for me! Normally, by this time I have all of my Christmas shopping done. Not this year though! I haven't even started! Not only haven't I started, but I don't have any idea what I am going to buy for anyone on my list. I thought my tree was looking so pathetic without any presents, I actually wrapped empty boxes to put under it!
Adam and I decided today would work best for us to go out shopping, however, now that we are in a blizzard....I should have just bought everything online last week when I was sick! What was I thinking?

Sick!

Yesterday I woke up with a terrible cold! I thought I might have strep because the girl I sit next to at work came last week when she had step! I went to InstaCare last night to get tested...luckily it came back negative! But, the Dr did say that this cold will probably last about 10 days! I didn't get much sleep last night because I didn't feel good plus I kept having nightmares every time I closed my eyes! Now, I am trying to get someone to cover 15 minutes for me at work today....but no one will pick up! I am bummed! Sorry to vent...but I needed to!

On a brighter note....today is the last day of school! :)


UPDATE: As soon as I posted this, I checked my work email and workforce gave me all the time off today that I needed because we were so slow! Yeah! Now, I am not so mad, and maybe I can get some sleep!
