Special Thanks!!

I just wanted to THANK my sweet husband for everything he does for me and our family!!  He is such a hard worker- he is going to school full time and working full time.  I know that I am not always patient or understanding of all of his time away, but I want him to know that I LOVE HIM!!  He is the love of my life.  I can't imagine life without him.  Thanks again honey!!

The Latest...

Halle loves to be "nakie."  Every night to get her to put her jammies on we have to let her be "nakie" for a few minutes.  This is her latest pose for everyone- don't you just love how she is sticking out her stomach.  Whenever I ask her to let me see how she looks she always does this. Lets just hope no one ever sees her pose like this again!!

IDEAS FOR VALENTINES DAY!

Hello Folks. This is Brad making his first blog post. Awww yeah! Big Gulps . . . . Anyways. . . So this is a little promo I have helped work on from work. It will be way fun! You can win TONS of prizes. Cupid also has a blog now, to which he gives great advice for Valentines Day -www.gameolove-cupid.blogspot.com I wish I would have had some of this advice a few years ago. I don't need to mention what I did . . . or didn't do. Let's just say I am reminded of it every year when Valentines day comes around. I don't think women ever forget. I kid you not I think most women can remember to the date and time, every little thing you do wrong. not to mention what you're wearing while you had your fight! I love you Melissa.

Back to the subject. The game will be sweet! You can check your score each day to see who is the best, and win your valentine gifts (up to $9,000 in prizes). There is also drawings for prizes just for registering and telling your friends.

Women - It will also give you a chance to email your special someone and let them know exactly what will make your valentines gift the best. I know I am always hurting for ideas. Anyways . . . just check it out. it starts TODAY! - Jan. 25th. www.gameolove.com

I think my old school nintendo skillz will come in handy here. You might get sniped!

There. I have done my part in spreading the word.

Baby News-

Ok, ok- here is the deal on the sex of the baby.  We have not had our ultrasound yet.  My doctor likes to do it around 21 weeks.  So we are having it next Wednesday when I will be almost 22 weeks- it is absolutely killing me not to know.  We (as in Brad, Halle, and I) are going to find out what the baby is; however, we are going to keep it a surprise from you (everyone else) until the birth of the baby!!  Brad and I are really excited about trying a new way of doing things and we know that you (everyone else) are going to be really mad at us.  Sorry!!  Please try to understand where we are coming from.  We would love to not find out ourselves, but I am way too much of a planner to not know.  Hope you will understand and one day forgive us for this mean "trick" we are playing on everyone!!

"Choo- choo" Ride

On Friday, Emilee (my sister-in-law) and I decided to take the kids up to Salt Lake to ride the "choo choo" aka- Trax!!  The kids had so much fun especially Will, I guess he could hardly sleep the night before because he was so excited!!  We parked at Gateway and then rode the train up to Bill's (my brother) work.  It was fun to see his office since we are so not familiar with that in our family- Brad works from home.  After the train ride Emilee and I had a lot of fun shoppin' at the Gateway.  We (or I should say the kids) didn't last long.  They were all past their nap times.  Emilee ended up carrying Will (35lbs), Tate (22lbs) and her diaper bag (who knows how heavy that could be).  I was carrying Halle (24lbs), a pregnant belly (not telling), a camera bag (5lbs), a pursre (5lbs), and two huge shopping bags (10lbs).  You should have seen the looks we got while walking a couple of blocks to the car!!  Thanks guys for going with us- we had a blast!!
