A little of this and a little of that.

Okay my friends, since it has been a month and a half I thought I'd fill in the blanks of our glorious life. (cough, cough). Lets begin...I finished my outdoor nativity, woohoo! We had Thanksgiving at the Stokes and had a chance to visit witht he Utah side of the Stokes family. I decided to go shopping on Black Friday, wanting to get all my Christmas shopping done. I did pretty good and didn't get caught up in any real long lines other than Sears. I had been awake since 3:30 that morning squished between 2 kids and a husband in my queen sized bed. So lets see...2 kids (3 &5) a pregnant lady and husband in a small bed, yeah I dozed off here and there, but decided to give up at 6 AM. I also got a camera for my birthday!! Yeah! I picked it out and went and got it that morning, it was a door buster. That was the easiest shopping Trent ever experienced in the last 10 years.

For my birthday Trent let me sleep in and took the kids for a few hours, I decorated for Christmas (which surprised Trent), Trent took me to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It was a quiet relaxing day and I didn't mind it at all!

Then, between Trent & I, we've attended 2 award ceremonies - Connor received most improved for cross country and got high honors - I sewed 4 stockings, put together an online scrapbook, finished burning my brother-in-laws wedding video, supervised my parents move, decorated a float for the Clovis Electrical Parade, participated in the parade, went to the RS progressive dinner, hosted a girls night at the church for our ward, watched 2 Christmas programs my school kids were in, worked for AES, hosted nutbreads (A Stokes family tradition) and spent a day baking and delivering goodies to friends and neighbors. And all mixed in there was a little pregnancy scare, but everything is fine with me and the baby. Woo I'm tired reading it.

As I mentioned above I had a little pregnancy scare, went to the doctor's and everything checks out fine. I've gained X amount of weight and feel huge! The baby has moved positions so now I've feeing kicks and nudges in my ribs. It has become hard to breathe and bend at the waist. My back and left hip kill me if I sit and/or stand in one place too long. Thanks to my fall in August. I am also anxious to get the baby stuff ready. I don't know why. It might have a little to do with Hunter being 3 weeks early and me not being ready at all!! I'm forcing myself to hold off a little longer.

Trent just got a call and he'll be spending a week in Virginia in the summer of 2010 with the Boy Scouts at a big jamboree as Assistant Scout Master, Scout Master being Sheldon Feigel. AES is also growing and they have rented a warehouse/office, which means I get my backyard and house back. Woohoo!!

So there's my catch up for the last month plus. I'll post pictures later of all our fun and exciting things.

I hope this holiday season is filled with joy and happiness.

Happy Holidays!!
