Finally on Saturday

We got a LITTLE snow!It didn't last long at all but we did get some and it was so pretty! We put up our tree a little before Thanksgiving isn't she pretty... My mom gave me our old ornaments when I moved out and I was going to get new ornaments but I can't let our old ones go hahaha Next year maybe we'll get new :)

(((Mandee made our Beautiful star in 1992)))I painted this Bell in 1992 I can still remember flicking the white paint on with a toothbrush:) ((Mckel painted this Beautiful Heart in 1990))

On Saturday Night Dani and Logan came over to decorate sugar cookies with us...they turned out so pretty:)


Danielle and Logan ditched out on games;) but Tierra and her new man came to play game with us and it was a really fun night!








On Sunday it was our 9 month Anniversary! We had our Sunday naps after church took our neighbors some cookies and watched Christmas Vacation and had some yummy hot chocolate.

This is my belly about two weeks ago I was down loading some pictures on to the computer and Connolly was moving all over and I snapped some pictures:)

We go from this...

to this all the time.

I love watching my belly move. He is one active little boy.

Look at my CUTE family...How can you not love them? They made a snowman of Elder Jones and a cute Hawaiian Honey :) Makes me laugh.These are my FAVORITE kids in the whole world...I can't wait to go home and play in the snow with them!

Visiting Teachers...

Last Monday my visiting teachers came and I haven't been able to stop thinking about what we talked about and what they shared with me So I thought I shared with all of you:) Shannon shared a little part of President Dieter F. Uchtdorfs talk The Love of God in the November Ensign. I love listening to President Uchtdorf, something about his voice and the way he says things really hits me.

Why Does Heavenly Father Love Us?

Think of the purest, most all-consuming love you can imagine. Now multiply that love by an infinite amount—that is the measure of God’s love for you.
God does not look on the outward appearance. I believe that He doesn’t care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely.
He loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our resume but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God’s love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked.
What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us.

She also shared this little part of his talk-

My dear brothers and sisters, don’t get discouraged if you stumble at times. Don’t feel downcast or despair if you don’t feel worthy to be a disciple of Christ at all times. The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try. We must try to believe. Try to learn of God: read the scriptures; study the words of His latter-day prophets; choose to listen to the Father, and do the things He asks of us. Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible—and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you.

Let Him In

~The Forgotten Carols~ Last December Paul and I went to Michael McLean- The Forgotten Carols here in St. George we loved it so much we have been planning to go with our family since last year. It finally came time to go last Friday we went up to Orem and it again was AMAZING.It was their first time going and they also loved it. I got cold chills in every song. The spirit is so strong that you don't want to leave. It was a fun night with family. The best way to begin the Christmas Season:)

This is how much Mckel LOVED it!

Baby Showers...

Baby Shower #1

My Sisters and Mom threw Connolly and Me a baby shower Open House on November 28th. It was at my sister Mckel's house in Nephi. They had a ton of Yummy food, all kinds of Cookies, Brownies, Cinnamon rolls, Salad, Banana nut bread, Kristi and her girls brought cute little Mini Cup Cakes etc. Thanks for putting the hours into making all that yummy stuff!;) I was able to see friends and family that I don't get to see often I loved every minute of it! I forgot my camera but my mom took a few so thanks mom for pictures.Thanks again Mandee,Mckel and Mom for the shower!

Baby Shower #2

My friends Dani and Mallory threw Connolly and Me a shower on December 2nd in St. George at Mallory's house. I again forgot my camera so thanks Mal for sending me these pictures. They had pasta and cake- very yummy! We played a couple games the one where they measured my belly with a string and everyone had to cut their own piece of string guessing how big mine was...Mckel was the Winner:) We also play the baby food game...Trini was the winner! It was so fun to see a lot friends. Thanks Mckel and Mom for coming down just for the shower means a lot. Thanks Mal and Dani for the shower and for all the time you put into it means so much:)

After my mom and sister left the next day I put all of Connolly's stuff in his room and I couldn't help but cry because I felt so blessed with great family and friends that gave so much to Connolly and me. Paul and I both feel so blessed. Thanks everyone -We love you!

Next Month...

Our Baby Boy will be here!!! CRAZY! I can't even wait.

(32 week and 5 days)

I'm just realizing that I'm a little late on the belly picture. I was supposed to take a picture at 32 weeks I'm 5 days late. Dang it.I had Paul take a picture tonight outside of his work party lol. I'm forgetting a lot lately...Pregnancy Amnesia:) We're SO ready for our little man to be here! This last month went by so fast((most days anyway)). I think the Holidays have helped a ton. Here are a few things I'm feeling these days....
*Starting to feel tired again(kinda like when I first got pregnant)

*My lower back is starting to hurt more

*Heartburn is still going STRONG

*I'm feeling even more large these days(seeing myself in pictures about kills me)

*My belly button is popped out to the max

*He's running out of room he's always right up in ribs especially when I'm driving or just sitting down.

*Its crazy to just watch my belly move and its always lop sided makes me laugh.

I still love feeling him moving around he sure is a strong little guy. He gets hiccup's a lot:) His room is almost put together. I finally just ordered brown crib sheets online The only place I could find them was at Babies R us and they were out so when they come I'll post some picture of his CUTE bedding my mom made. We have one more monthly visit Monday then every 2 weeks after that. YAY! I can't wait to hold him in my arms! Paul is probably SOooo ready for him to be here so he doesn't feel like he's married to a 90 year old lady anymore. Its getting so hard to set up so he's usually helping up and rubbing my feet and back... He's been amazing through these last 32 weeks and 5 days:) I don't know what I'd do without him. We're so excited to be parents! Oh and did I say baby Connolly will be here NEXT month... I love saying that. Feels so good:)

Thanksgiving Weekend

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Wardle's. Dave is such a good cook and made the best stuffing I've ever had! Yum! After eating tons of great food we hung out until it was time for Paul to go to work. I then drove to Nephi to get ready for black Friday. I haven't drove up there without Paul for a long time and I missed him but it gave me three hours to think about all the things I am very thankful for. I'm very blessed and I thank my Heavenly Father for everything in my life everyday because without him I would have nothing. I finally made it and hung out with my parents and then us girls loaded up and drove to Draper to stay at Kristi's. We were up till around 12:00 a.m. looking at the ad's and then left for Kohl's at 3:30 a.m. and shopped until about 6 p.m. Call us crazy but we have fun! I had one lady look at my belly and say you are crazy for being up this early. IT WAS SO WORTH IT! So many funny/fun memories. I was dead by the end of the day.Saturday my Mom and Sisters threw Connolly and me a baby shower in Nephi at Mckel's house and it was a lot of fun and I got to see friends and family that I don't get to see that often and It means so much that they came. Connolly got a lot of cute things! Thanks so much Mandee Mom and Mckel for such a fun shower and spoiling Connolly already. My mom has the pictures of the shower on he camera so I'll get them up as soon as I get the pictures from her. Paul got to Nephi Saturday around 12 and went to a movie with his dad at the new theater in Nephi. After the shower we went to my parents and watched the big game GO BYU so glad they beat the UTES!!! I wish we could have went to that game. Maybe next year. That night we went to the light parade and just relaxed. Very very fun weekend hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Jamin was ready to eat yummy food!!!Paul being the cute guy he is playing with the kids. I only took two pictures the whole weekend!!!! I'm a little mad at myself!
