Guaranteed Overnight Delivery

Brenna decided to play in a box and make a bed. She came up to me and said "Mom, I'm sleeping in the box tonight." At least now I know that there's a box that she can fit in so when I decided to ship her off to my mom she'll be comfy. =) I think if I emptied all of her toys out of her room and just put empty boxes in there she would be happy. Ever since she could crawl she's loved to play in them. She used to get into them, throw everything out and then climb in and look very pleased with herself. Some things don't change.

What they really teach students at the hospital

Jason is really loving his job at the hospital. He comes home with all sorts of stories....especially when he gets to help in the ER. I get to hear about reattaching limbs and gruesome car accidents. I guess it's a good thing I don't have a weak stomach and I'm over the whole morning sickness. Between work and student house he spends a lot of time there, which is a really good thing he likes it there. On the days that aren't so eventful they get to have some down time. So of course, he plays with the medical equipment. He brought some of the tape home and had fun playing with Brenna. They put tape over their mouths and tried talking. The funniest part was when he tried to laugh and he had tape over his mouth. His cheeks bulged out and I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head. It was hilarious!!! And as I've said before, the only time I can take a picture of him is when he's doing something goofy or pulling a face. Now I know that if we ever mutated into pigs Jason and Brenna would still be cute, even though Jason looks a little bit diabolical. Now can you imagine what he's going to do with a little boy, who I'm sure will be just like his dad? I don't think our life will lack a dull moment.

Painting Pumpkins

What's Halloween season without painting pumpkins? So of course we got a pumpkin for Brenna to decorate. I don't like to cut pumkins cuz after you carve them they go rotten really fast, so I decided to let her paint one. Which she had a lot of fun doing. I gave her the paints and told her to paint it however she wanted. Her finished masterpiece was a pretty colorful pumpkin. She's been having fun the past week with Halloween crafts. We've makea witch, ghost, bat, spider, a pumkin, and a paper bag pumkin.

Technical difficulties

I thought I had added the picture on that post about my hubby, but i guess I didn't so here it is.

My future chef!!

Since I have more free time, I can go back to indulging in making cookies. I made these really good cookies one day, chocolate crinkles, and Jason took most of them to work with him and the rest, most of them went to the ladies I visit teach. So of course I had to make more. Brenna wanted to be a big helper. She did such a good job. She poured in all the ingredients, and even mixed them (I had to help after a bit with that part). After the cookies chilled in the fridge, she helped roll them in powdered sugar and then roll them into balls. They turned out yummy!!!!

My wonderful husband

So whenever I try to get a picture of Jason he always does something to ruin the picture. He usually sticks his finger up his nose or puts something just enough over his face that it ruins it. Well, I actually got a picture of him that he wanted me to take....but it wasn't much better. We were visiting his cousin in the hospital and decided to play around with the gloves.......I know.....I know....I live with him.

Trying to stop being a slacker

I know that I was a slacker and only did a few blog posts on this, but my new goal is to keep it updated. I should, hopefully, have the time to at least do it once a month or week. So here's the 411 on what's gone on the past year:

Life has been pretty uneventful up until the past few months. We are going to be adding another member to our family. He will be making is public debut in January. I am due the 31st. I have to have a c-section, since I had one with Brenna. My doctor says she'll do it the week before I'm due, the 21st or 22nd. It's kinda weird knowing when he'll be here. Everything is going good so far. At one of my early ultrasounds the doctor said my fluid looked a little. She told me drink as much water as I could and then come back in 2 weekds and she'd recheck. I dont think I've ever drank as much water before. I seriously contemplating just ahuling everything in the bathroom and camping out for a couple weeks. When I went back into the doc's she said everything looked better and that she'll just double check it again at my next appointment in a month, but she wasn't worried. He has been plenty active the past few weeks. I think he's going to be like me and love pb&j sandwiches. Everytime I eat one he goes crazy. Brenna is getting excited about having a little brother. It's a good thing she's not a girly-girl because she wants to share all her toys with him. Luckily, she mainly wants to share blocks, books, watch Transformers, ride 4-wheelrs, and go to the zoo with him.
Life is pretty good now. I get to stay home with Brenna. Due to stuff that happened at the daycare with how they were treating both me and Brenna I decided to call it quits a few months early. I had planned on staying until the beginning of December. But now I get to hang out. Brenna loves having her mommy home and draws me lots of pictures all day and loves to have me read book after book after book after book.......
Jason is going to school at Weber State for Radiology. He spends alot of time at the hospital but he loves it! he'll be finished in about a year and a half. yay!!!
That's pretty much it for right now. So let's see how I do at keeping up this time around.
