It's a Boy!

Wow, I know I haven't blogged in forever so sorry everyone! So if you couldn't guess from the title, for all of you who don't know yet, we are going to have a baby and it's going to me a mini Chase! I know- I'm all ready 20 weeks and we just started telling everyone for sure now ( and i kinda need to cause I'm for sure showing now!). So sorry friends! We have been a little hesitant to say a whole lot because of a couple troubles in the past and this one has given us a couple scares as well! We went to the doctor Thursday and the baby is looking great and things are looking good! I can't wait! We are so excited but it seems so unreal at the same time! Here are some pictures of the baby! This was my 6th ultra sound and every time I get one the baby is moving around like crazy! I hope this doesn't mean he is going to be wild! Anyways, we were not able to get a good shot of his face and profile cause he would move every time she would go to take it. But of course we got a great one of his boy parts! A true boy all ready! His little feet are cute too! I have another ultra sound next month though so hopefully he will cooperate with that one! We have also been really busy trying to get our basement finished. It has been alot of work, well for Chase and my Dad anyways! I wish I could help do more but I find myself just throwing out orders and telling them what I want and trying to keep them fed! We for sure couldn't be doing this with all of my Dads help! He knows how to do alot and has been a really big help! I think he spends all his extra time at our house. We should just set up a room for him! Thanks and Love ya Dad! And of course thanks to Chase and him picking up extra work at Sundance so we can have some extra money so i can get all the lovely things I'm dreaming of for the basement and dealing with all the pregnancy emotions and being strong for me when the baby scares have happened! He is definitely more brave then me! Love you babe! And since I'm thanking everyone I also need to say thanks to my Mom for helping with cleaning my house and making me and chase food while I had to be down for a bit I hope she realizes how much I really appreciated it! And Thanks to all my friends at work for being so nice and helping me out with my clients and being so concerned and the visits! Here are some pictures of all the basement work! Digging the hole for the stairs for the walk in basement!

Swat and a yucky ankle!

So Chase finished POST last week! YAY! He was excited and so was I! He is now a paramedic on the Swat Team and he had to go through some of the police academy in able to do so. He passed with flying colors as always (I have such a smarty pants of a husband. Good thing one of us is!) even with a sprained ankle! He sprained it at the beginning of the physical test and still finished it with all the pain! I can still not believe he is on the Swat Team! So congrats babe, i know how glad you are to be done!

Happy Birthday Chase!

Yesterday was Chase's birthday and I think he had a pretty good one... at least he said he did! He got some good gifts from the Fam and some new bike stuff and some new slippers that he loves from me! He went to lunch with his dad to his favorite sandwich spot, Ernies! and later that night we went to Ruby river and the Car show with Tyler and Z and Cec and Jake and then came back for his beloved rainbow chip cake,it was a ton of fun! Chase saw a few, i mean a lot, of dream trucks and cars that he would like to go buy right now. One day babe... one day! I hope you had a great day and I love you so much! Happy Birthday! I'm calling this his 26th birthday pose! how tender, this guy cracks me up!

Merry Christmas

Christmas was fun as always this year! Lots of parties with friends and fam and work that made for a busy month but keeps it fun!

On Christmas Eve we went to my parents house for our annual christmas eve party with all of my moms side of the family. Chase and Jake couldn't be there because they were on shift that day so that was kinda sad! The little cousins put on the nativity and they are so stinkin cute! This is James... how cute is he? We had to put a cookie in his mouth so he wouldn't cry!

ME AND THE SISTERS!

THE FAMILY WITH MR. AND MRS. SANTA CLAUSE Lilly puckering up to Grandpa! I am so in love with her!

The day after christmas we went to Chases moms house and played games and we played the famous killer bunnies it was alot of fun and so funny cause everyone gets so competative! Good times, and bring on the New Year!

Merry Christmas! ( I had to say something, this halloween stuff needed to go!)

Halloween!

Hope everyone had a good Halloween! This is Chase and I in our winning costumes at the fire dept. party! we won the scariest which landed us 50 bucks! You can't beat that! We were people from the fifties if the Cold War had ended badly, Post apocalyptic he called it! Chase's amazing idea! I wasn't so sure about it at first with having to wear a gas mask but it ended up turning out pretty cool! here's some other fun costumes from the parties! and firefighter Mars!
