After all the pie...

I posted already today...27 weeks and 5 days pregnant! I throw in the 5 days because I look sooo huge! I'm turned semi sideways so I promise this isn't totally accurate! Hahaha wow...Well there ya go! Imagine this is only two weeks since the picture right below...Enjoy my lovely belly! I do!

My Thanksgiving Post

Ok so I took this picture by myself so that's why I look like poop...The angle I took the picture from makes my middle torso look grossly huge and then my head is tiny. At least I hope it's just the angle...mahahahahhaha. Sad. Ok so that was umm...about 25 weeks when I took it. How am I always so far behind with these things! By the end of the day I promise I will take some pictures that are real time!

I can't wait because later this afternoon we will be having a family reunion of sorts with my cousins J.P. and Jace whom we never get to see! Thanksgiving was sooo yummy! I ate WAY to much so in my next picture if I look fatter that's why! Just kidding it's all the baby's fault! My sister and her kids are here visiting from New Mexico so it's been chaotic with her 4 girls running around! Of course we really miss my Mom but we've been able to talk to her twice through Skype. The connection was pretty awesome considering she is in Indonesia! I'm very sad I couldn't have Dougie here with me for the holiday but we kept in touch through text message! His family took him a nice big dinner at work and they even made him his favorite spice cake! (he won't touch my favorite pumpkin desserts!) I personally made an apple pie and pumpkin cake thingy from the ground up! I was so proud of myself cause they both turned out amazing! All in all it was another good holiday in San Manuel!


This year i've certainly had my ups and downs but no matter what I remain thankful for every one of lifes little blessings! I am thankful for my relationship with Doug and how amazingly we fit together. I am thankful for this little man growing inside of me and can't wait to meet him! I am thankful for my family no matter how hard that can be sometimes. I am thankful to have such wonderful and supportive friends backing me through all this turmoil. Finally I am thankful 2009 will be over soon because no matter what it was a year I will remember forever but am trying sooo hard to forget!

New Moon!

I crack myself up...Not that i'm super fond of Taylor Lautner or anything I just like the idea of his character. I read the books long before the movie was set to come out and from the very beginning I fell for the Jacob character. I just think he's sooo funny and I LOVED the part of the books where you hear things from his point of view...HILARIOUS! The first movie was underwhelming but New Moon was pretty awesome! They did a great job following the sequence of the book and that's what I like to see :)! By the way did anyone else really love Dakota Fanning as a vampire...for some reason she had me at hello...or whatever other creepy stuff she said!

I feel so bad I haven't been on the computer to keep things updated! I started the 3rd trimester today and so far it's bliss. Haha just kidding. Laying down, or should I say getting back up!, is so much harder for me! I have two little itty bitty stretch marks in my two piercing holes...haha no one can really see them but I know they're there! I'll get some better updating with pictures done soon!

Trykk or Treat!

YAY FOR CANDY! I took some really cute pictures when we went trick or treating and of course had to share our fun! What an awesome weekend we had! I feel so blessed to be with Doug and his family on such a great holiday! I wish my sister was closer so I could go trick or treating with her kids but these are my surrogate neices and we like to spoil them! We came out with a ridiculous 410 pieces of candy!!!! Imagine that it was really only two little girls out knocking on doors so jeepers that's a ton! Me and Dougie dressed up too...well sorta haha! Oh and I put a little picture of the 24 weeks belly...that was after like 8 pieces of candy! Mahaha no seriously it's gettin bigger by the day! I can't wait to meet this little jumping bean!









What I SHOULD be finishing in my spare time!


So I've been working on these two pictures for my cousins kids and I thought maybe I should post them on here so my Mom and others could check em out! For some reason the blog keeps flipping the one picture sideways and I don't get that but oh well you get the picture! This one I posted is the painted version and the other one I'm doing is done in sharpie markers...it's done with a technique called stippling. These have taken me almost 5 months now and it's mainly because I keep getting side tracked! Anyone who knows me will say I have trouble with follow through hehe :). Well lemme know what you think...these ones aren't done yet and I'll post pictures of the other version a little later!!
