Christmas come and gone

We got the chance to travel to farmington, nm for Christmas. We got to see lots of family and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Christmas Eve was spent at my aunts Tammi's house having diner and the kids acting out the nativity story and playing games. Christmas morning we wake up ashley to open gift but I would say too early. she was very tired and wanted to keep sleeping longer but we needed to get presents opened before church. As we were getting the camera ready Ashley became very very mad that she could not go out of the bedroom. We let her go down the hall and showed her what santa had brought her ( a new trcycle). She was so made she wanted to just sit and cry and have a fit. After about 10 mins she decided she wanted her trycycle and calmed down. We started opening gifts and ashley loved it. She would open a gift and move on to the next gift before finding out what she got in the first gift. When she was done with her gifts she went around and helped who ever still had gifts to open theirs. She would even open the gifts that did not need to be opened yet.
 We went to church with my family and then had a great family diner. We also went to Tyler's brother's house to spent some time with his family for Christmas. Ashley once again open up gift that were not for her when no one was looking. The rest of the trip was spent between Tyler's family and mine going going going all over the place. I am glad we got to see lots of family but wish it we could have stayed longer. Tyler wanted to come home and spend time just us before his has to go back to work. Our camera was not charging so by the time we got it working I forgot and did not take any pictures! Which after all it was done I am not happy about it but of well. All in all we are glad to be home but miss family but had a great Christmas!

Baby and Ashley

Today I am 18 weeks and 4 days. I had a doctors apt this afternoon and everything seems to be going good. Heartbeat is strong and sounds great. We finally have a date for an ultrasound which will be Jan. 4th. or sooner if they have an opening come up! Finding out is like getting a late christmas gift! I can't wait. I love 20 weeks ultrasound and being able to get lots of pictures and really see the baby more. So they guessing continues if you have not done so already! Boy or Girl? We will see very soon!

Ashley has been talking more and more lately and I am thankful for the talking. She has always been a talker but now we can finally start to understand a little more. Her word for this week is Yes! She says it to everything. She loves to watch movies and tries to sing to the songs during the movies. She is really wanting to open up gifts and she does not want to wait any longer. We are excited to go to farmington and enjoy christmas with our family. I am sure Ashley will enjoy everything.

New dress

I decided to make a dress for Ashley this year and it worked out really well. It is a little big but that is ok. That way she can wear it for longer then a month or two. She loves to dress up so she liked having a new dress to wear! 

Ashley does not like to take pictures and she sat still which is amazing! Finally able to get a good picture of her. (ps that is her cheesy smile)

16 weeks

Friday the 2nd of December marks 16 weeks or 4 months of being prego! I have an appointment next week and then we will get the apt to find out what we are having after that! I can't wait to find out! Tyler thinks it will be a boy and I think it will be a boy most of the time! Sometimes I think a girl but then go to thinking a boy. So I guess we will have to wait and find out for sure!

Check up a poll on my blog to give your guess on what we are having boy or girl!

Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas

Thanksgiving we decided not to go anywhere and just stay home. Tyler works nights so driving thanksgiving day since tyler had to work the night before did not sound like something we wanted to do! We had our own little Thanksgiving diner (the first time I have ever cooked everything by my self in cluding the turkey.) We later went to my uncles house who lives in gilbert and went for a walk with him for the afternoon. I turned out to be a nice thanksgiving even though we missed all of our family that we did not get to see.

That night I thought I would go black friday shopping at walmart why I am not sure. I had some awesome things I wanted to get for Tyler. First of all I will never do that again. There was no parking and by time I got into the store it was crazy. There were no shopping carts so I asked this old lady if I could help her to her car and than have her cart after. Well we walked outside and the lady could not remember where she parked her car so we walked all over looking for her car. In the end she thought she needed to think about where she parked and wanted to go inside to think it over. In the end and 20 mins later did not find the ladies car and no shopping cart. I decided at that point to carry what I wanted to get and choose only one thing out of the three since there was no way I was going to carry all three. Got in line and got checked out really quick and left very quickly. Bytheway they stoped letting people into walmart because it had meet the max amount of people allowed in the store. Went home went to bed and woke at 4am to go do more shopping! I know I am a little crazy for some reason I love it. We only went to JCP and we were in and out within 10 min and we got everything that we wanted to get. Went back home and went back to bed.

That day we got the christmas tree up and ashley loved every min of it. I love putting the tree up right after Thanksgiving then i feel all the hard work and hours of putting the tree together does not just get taken down in a week or so. Ashley has to turn the lights on everyday and kiss all her ordaments that she can. She has left all the gifts alone under the tree so far which is amazing since she loved to open gifts. So we are almost ready for Christmas and I for one can't wait for it to be here!
