IT"S A........

BOY!!!!!!!!

Ok, no surprise there. We found out yesterday that we are indeed having another boy, as I had suspected. This pregnancy has been just like my previous ones. Horrible sickness & vomiting( who says "you don't experience morning sickness with boys"???!!!). Same food adversions and cravings.
As soon as the ultrasound tech pulled up the side view image of our little one, I spotted a little something sticking up! I said "It's a boy", and she said " you've seen this before, havent you!" Yes, I've seen it before!
We are so grateful for this opportunity heavenly father has given us, by sending us another sweet little spirit. Our house will be even more wild and crazy(if that is possible) and we are deffinately in for an adventure!
Anywho, we can't wait to meet him & see what he looks like! At least we know that we make em' cute!

Sneek Peek Craft Fair Jewelry

Here are just a few pics of some of the jewelry I have made for the CandyCane Village boutique craft fair in Spring City this friday(10:00-6:00) and Saturday(10:00-5:00) These pics DO NOT do my jewelry justice. SO much more beautiful in person! As of now I have 60+necklaces made of all legths, colors, styles, etc. I have earrings, bracelets, baby bracelets, toddler bracelets & little girl bracelets. So if you are a jewelry lover, come take a look. It's located at Spring City hall. And even if you're not a jewelry lover, come anyway. There will be a wide range of fun stuff too see! Home decor, crafts and more, so come and have fun!

One more thing: AWESOME prices on my jewelry! NOTHING over $20!!! It's a steal!

HALLOWEEN 2009

This year for halloween Andy was a "cowboy sheriff", Maddex was his favorite character "Mickey Mouse", Brandon was Satan & I was Satan's mistress(it's safe to say,we were a weird bunch). This was the first time I've ever dressed up as something evil, and I must admit, it was kinda fun to be the bad guy for once. We bought some freaky contacts. Brandon's were the freakiest. It took me a while before I could look at him for more than an instant of a second. We had our annual pumkin carving party at my parents house the night before halloween. On halloween, we took our kids trick or treating, and afterwards we went to a halloween party that Kev & Tosh threw. It was way fun. Sadly, I didn't take pics, but my sis-in-law Amy did, so if you would like to see some cool couples costumes, you can visit her & Dev's blog.

ummmm....................ya

The craziest thing about it, this was actually planned.............ya, we are crazy.

I'm 11 weeks. Due the 17th of May. I've been quite sick with this one. Swine flu + morning sickness= pure hell. I wouldn't recommend trying it.

Bailey Update...

I realize that I haven't been too great lately on updating the ol' blog, so I thought I'd better get it done.

These past couple months have been super busy! Here are a few things we've been up to:

Brandon: Softball, hunting, softball, hunting, softball...well, you get the jist! Oh, and of course working to support his family!

We've had fun spending time with each other in the mountains! Fall, being my fave season, has been very enjoyable & BEAUTIFUL, though the last couple weeks, I've missed it. We (the kids & I) had the unpleasant opportunity to experience the dreaded "swine flu". Yes, of course we would have to get it.....but the good news is that we lived and have almost fully recovered(after tamiflu & breathing treatments)

Andy: He has been thoroughly enjoying preschool, and LOVES learning! My smart & bright first-born will turn FOUR next month! He loves his younger brother, and watches over him. Oh, and he has also become a professional tattle-tell!

Maddex: What can I say about my baby..he's not a baby anymore. Infact, he is almost as tall as Andy. He has the cutest personality & he is SO LOVING! He can also talk your ear off!

Me: the usual...following my family around! I've been a total slacker on the jewelry making, but I've started to do more & I will have a jewelry booth set up at "The Candy Cane Village" craft fair in Spring City on Nov. 13th & 14th. So come take a look! I will post another reminder when It gets closer!

And here are the kids school pictures. I thought they turned out way cute. If you can't tell, Maddex is on the left and Andrew on the right!

Josie's Wedding

My very good friend Josie(which also happens to be Brandon's cousin) got married in the Manti Temple this weekend. Brandon & I were able to attend the ceremony & it was amazing. It was such a good feeling & we are SO HAPPY for josie & her new husband Mark!!!

Here is the BEAUTIFUL bride with our roommate from snow college days, Tricia. Tricia caught the bouquet!

A few weeks ago, Josie asked me if I would make her wedding cake. I knew it would be a challenge, but I accepted. Her colors were Black & white & her flowers were calla lilies.(which made an absolutly beautiful and classy wedding by the way) I was so afraid I'd mess it up, and That would be unacceptable cause Josie deserves a pretty wedding cake. But, with a few prayers and much determination, it turned out quite well. So here it is...my first wedding cake:

First Day of Preschool

Andy Started preschool this week! Yes, thats right, my baby boy is in school!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone! It doesn't seem that long ago that the nurse handed me this beautiful( though very beat-up looking) baby boy & said " Here, meet your son". He has brought so much joy to his family with his bright smile and outgoing personality, and we're so proud of him & love himSSO MUCH!! He loved his first day, even through the disappointment of preschool being held in a "regular house" with "no school bus".

Had to fit a few pics of my darling little Maddex in here too!! Next year, they'll both be in preschool!
