What The...?!

Ok, seriously I think that Lady Ga Ga (a pop singer) looks like my mom! Call me crazy, but look at these pictures! Tell me what you think!

Big Kicks!

Luke felt the baby kick for the first time! It was exciting for us! We were sitting on the couch watching TV and all of a sudden, the baby started kicking me really hard for a while and Luke was able to feel the baby kick! We are surprized that baby girl watts is kicking so hard this early, but I guess that its kinda normal. Anyway, just had to share, it was exciting!

Our Baby!

My dog is smarter than your dog.

Oh my gosh! I just about peed my pants with laughter when I walked into the spare room and saw this! Josie apparently found the bag of chips I was eating, and got her head stuck in the bag!! What a silly pooch! Every time she would breath, the bag would move in and out. So, I had to take a picture. After I removed the bag from her head ( I don't know how she got it all the way on her head, it was on there so tight!) her head smelled like Doritos! Poor little puppy was traumatized after the whole ordeal was over, and she went to sleep on my lap. The scary experience must have taken a lot out of her!

Valentines Day!

For Valentines day I decided that I would surprise Luke! I made him a heart shaped cake. It was his favorite kind of cake, yellow cake with chocolate frosting. In between each layer (there were three), I used cream cheese frosting! It was a delicious cake! We had fun on valentines day pigging out eating the cake all weekend long! This valentines we had fun thinking about our future family! We thought a lot about how we will create traditions to show our love on valentines with our kids. We cant wait for our new little baby to be here in July or August! Its so much fun being married to each other.
We've been married for about 2-1/2 years now, and its so fun being in this stage of
our lives.

The second Valentine surprise I gave Luke on the 14th was that, before he woke up, I wrote cute messages to him on all of the mirrors in our house with lipstick. It was fun to see him wake up in the morning and find each message! I'm looking forward to many more Valentines days with Luke!!

Random Update about Luke

It's been a while since we've made a post so I thought that I would share what Luke has been up to lately...so here's what Luke is up to!

CHP update: Last August Luke was told after not passing the eye exam portion of the test, if he were to get contact lenses, that he would have to wait a year before he could apply again, but if he were to get lasik surgery that he could apply right away after healing (presumably 3 months). After healing from the lasik surgery, Luke had it confirmed to him via email from the CHP recruiters that they now have a new director of the CHP academy. And, the rules have been changed about when he can apply again. Apparently now you have to wait a year regardless if you have had lasik surgery or contact lenses. So much for trying to speed the process along! So, Luke will reapply this August. Lucky for me he will be here when we have the baby! I wont have to worry about him being in the academy or something. We both feel that even though this may be frustrating to him, that it is all happening for a reason. We are happy that he will be able to (hopefully) get into the academy when the timing is right for our family.

Personal life update: I wanted to share this funny story about what has recently happened to Luke. So, Luke tries to stay very active, he plays on the church basketball team, and on a card league basketball team (his team is called the "Stripling Warriors"). Along with playing on these teams and going to basketball practice twice a week he has taken two weight lifting classes this semester... Lets just say that maybe he is exerting himself a little too much this past week. His arm, chest and tummy muscles were so sore, he couldn't lift his arms above his head! I called him "Barbie arms" because he couldn't even straighten his arms all the way! He was just walking around with his arms at 90 degree angles. Haha! Anyway, I'm excited to have a buff husband...eventually, even if right now he can't even lift his arm to put it around me!

PS- Luke's shirt in this picture....he tried to cut off the sleeves so that he could wear it as a work out shirt. But, he didn't take into account that it was a baseball tee. He just cut off the colored sleeves all the way up to the neck line! Luke is so funny! He's always making me laugh!

The moment we knew!

We found out last night that I'm pregnant! We couldn't be more excited! We've been thinking about how much our lives are going to change, and that we need to get a better vacuum!
I kind of had a feeling that I was pregnant all month! We finally went to Walgreen's and bought the pee stick! Turned out to be positive, so I grabbed the camera and said, "Luke! We have to take pictures now!"
Luke was kind of surprised that I wanted to take pictures of us with the pregnancy test. But he was in such a good mood that he didn't even bother to argue!

I've now posted one of those baby things that tell you how far along you are, and what the baby looks like. Right now the baby looks like a weird iguana or something!

Its ok, it will get cuter. I'm 36 days along, I'm feeling kinda nauseous. Nothing sounds good to eat and I can smell too much, and it makes things unappetizing.
We're hoping for a boy. Luke of course wants a little one to rough house with, and I've always wanted there to be a big brother to take care of the little girls we'll probably have. Either way, we'll be happy. It's pretty soon in the pregnancy, we hope and pray all goes well! But we're just too excited to keep it to ourselves!
