WHAT'S UP!

So I have been meaning to get on here and tell you all about the new things Caleb and I have just been "spending" money (ha! like we have it) on things!

Frist we went to St. George about a month ago to buy a new furniture for our house, but instead Caleb bought me my very own up-right PIANO!!! I know how exciting right!!! I play almost every day and am even teaching myself this really hard song for my sister Brenda called Waterfall. It's awesome! Gotta love my husband!

Next a Big Lots just opened here and so Caleb and I went to check it out and BAM we bought a new couch, love bug, rockying chair, and the patted foot rest thingy. Daisy loves it!! She can open all by herself and plays inside with all of her blocks and blankets.

We also finally got our pictures from my parents of Joseph and Emma framed and hung up in our upstairs hallway! They look great!

And then this year we have finally decided to go to Coral Pink with the family. However Caleb was/is tired of always borrowing things from everyone else. So Last night we ran over to Walmart and picked up a new tent, stove, tarps, space heater, water jug, and even a little chair for Daisy. Plus, we found a $5 toy sand kit for Daisy to play with when we are there. I was totally excited about all of it!! I can't wait to use them!

Caleb is in busy season. Working at all hours of the day to put in about 60 hours of work a week. I cry a lot that I never get to see him but I am just glad I have school to keep me busy.

Last week was my spring break and I was bored out of my mind, I couldn't wait for school to start again! (I am going to be a terrible stay at home mommy). I have my second doctor apt today and am just waiting for this dang morning sickness to go away! It's a annoying. With Daisy I never ever got sick! But I am throwingup all the time! YUCK!

Daisy is getting so big and is soooo smart! She walks every where and understands so much! I just love it!! Right now she can say so much, her newest word is PAPA for Grandpa and two days ago a taught her how to say "WHAT'S UP" in a high pitched voice! Totally awesome and waaay cute!!

Crap!... Got to go to class! Bye!

While Daisy was taking her first bath in her new tub she found a friend (her reflection). She was so happy and kept saying "ya ya ya ya!" By the time we got the camera she wasn't doing it as much. We tried to get her to keep doing it to show you. haha. She just loves take baths and putting her head in the water to drink it.

Into the New house!

We are finally moved into our new home. It just needs some more organizing and cleaning up. Then I will take some pictures and post them. However, I will admit it is such and beautiful home and I just LOVE my new bathtub!!! The show is also awesome! It has two heads and so I use up all the hot water in just my shower! ha. Oops. Daisy still has her own room and bathroom and totally loves it. Her bathroom is a Jack-and-Jill bath so she runs around and around and around. Our downstairs is the same way from the front door to the kitchen, dinning room, family room and then back to the front door again. She loves to play hide-n-seek! So much fun! I love my new office! It is a total mess but I have two desks and a couch so I can spread out all my school work, crafts and lesson plans!! It just great! The best part about the new home is we have a garage. However, there are still tons of boxes in there that we can't keep our cars out of the snow yet. We will be taking my parents trailer back to Vegas tonight so hopefully we can get our cars in by Sunday.
Our blinds were put in yesterday so now we can walk around our house nakey butt! How exciting! :0)

School is going okay. I am trying to stay caught up and so far it's helping out. I have a lesson that I present on monday on the water cycle so wish me luck! Later that day I have a presentation on African American Culture, so wish me luck there too. I still tutor every Tuesday and Thursday and on Fridays I try and make it to the Middle school. However, I couldn't get there today because no babysitter. (Which that is a whole other story!)

Yesterday I went to my first doctors appointment and found out I am 10 weeks and 6 days along. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention we are expecting again? ..Oops. My bad. Surprise! But, it sounds like the due date is going to be somewhere around September 15-19th. It keeps changing.

Well, I think that is everything that is happening right now....other than Caleb is always gone because of Tax Season. Which sucks and I am totally emotional about, but what do you do....just cry about it and then get over it. right?

Alrighty, if I get the chance to return to the blogging world soon I will try and post pictures of the new house. I will also post the pictures that I got yesterday from the doctors but they aren't that cute so sorry. (haha. They are cute, but there just the back and head, nothing to exciting).

Have a great day!

The beginning of a new year...

I started school two weeks ago which means I again have no time, so I will not post as often as I should.

First things first...
1. Last semester I got straight A's!!

2. Christmas went great!! Caleb and I got to play Santa this year and stay up the night before and play with Daisy's Christmas.
Daisy got way too many toys. Caleb got clothes. AND...Caleb surprised me with a CRICKET! (if you don't know what that is your missing out! It's a great machine for people who scrapbook or teach! I love it! It cuts out everything!!)

3. The day after Christmas Caleb and I went house 'looking' again, and found one we liked.

4. The week before school started we went to California with my parents because my sisters didn't want to be away from their friends on New Years. So I volunteered Caleb and I to go. We played with my parents, went to the Rose Parade, and went to Disneyland..(of course).

5. School started on January 5th and I got the low down for my semester. Luckily I have already taken and PASSED the Praxis!! So I have a head start. Yes!! This semester I am taking 5 classes (15 credits). About three of my classes are sending me to different schools to observe teachers, tutor, and teach lessons. So far I am ahead in all of my work and I hope to keep it that way, because I am trying to make time for Daisy and I to play. That's a good goal right?

6. On January 14th Caleb and I met with the builders of that home we liked. They told us what they wanted for it and we took it!! WE ARE BUYING A HOUSE!! If everything goes well we will be in our NEW HOME this time next month!!! YES!! We are totally going to have an OPEN HOUSE!! (I will have pictures later!)

Happy New Year!

Daisy's Snow Playground!

So I made this awesome thingy and ordered it online! I was kind of scared because I always hear all these bad stories about things happening online. But I gave in. And it turned out great!....I can't show it to you yet because a family member on Caleb's side has a blog and she might see it. (and well its for her). So you will all just have to wait until after christmas. But it is SO AWESOME, AND I AM SO PROUD OF ME!!

Moving on... Just like everyone else, we have got a bit of snow here. I got bored one day playing inside with Daisy while Caleb was at work, that Daisy and I decided to play in our backyard!

Isn't it so neat!!?? I even made her a slide!! (Aren't I just a nice mommy!) I am more proud of my work than Caleb or Daisy. I just wish we got more snow so that we could have higher walls and try and fiind each other! It would be our own little maze! Would that just be awesome!!
