Well not a lot has been going on, but I felt like my blog needed an update anyway. Being pregnant is ok, for the most part. I am finding that this time around I have been focusing on the negative of it all rather than being excited about every little thing. I have started to feel this little baby kicking a bit and all I can think is, my nights will soon be sleepless.... So, needless to say I need a bit of a attitude adjustment. The belly is getting a little bigger and so I thought I would post a pic for the heck of it. I am not loving it as much this time around as I did last time. I miss being "skinny."

I have been working for a while now on a fun and beautiful "surprise" project and just finished it today. I can't show the whole thing, because well... it is a surprise. I love it though and I wish I could keep it but it most definitely belongs to someone else and I am excited for this person to get it!

Last time Lincoln and I went to story time he made a little mitten wreath and I love it! I have had it hanging on my little magnet board since then, but every once in a while he asks me if he can put it on. I just love this little boy he is really becoming his own little person lately. He loves to count and no matter how hard I try, one, two, three comes out two, four, seven. There are some variations on that but for the most part it comes out two, four, seven. He is always getting mad at Rocky for something and it is so funny, but when he is mean to Rocky I have to make sure he understands that, that isn't ok. But oh my gosh it is so funny. They are such buddies and linc has taken to sitting on Rocky's back again to watch T.V. I love it! Well that's pretty much it. We find out if baby number two is a boy or girl on Saturday so I will have to post a little something about that. I am soooo excited It is like an early Christmas gift!

Thanksgiving

At the close of this beautiful day here in Vegas, I can't end this holiday without expressing my gratitude for my amazing family and friends. Scott and I have had to make huge changes in our lives this last year and it has been so wonderful to have our wonderful family and friends there to support us.

It was an "off " year for my family this year, so we all went our separate ways today. It is weird to think that Thanksgiving with my whole family may not ever happen again... It might, but the odds are not in our favor :) With eight kids, it was inevitable that this would happen, but It still makes me sad. I remember when none of us were married, like it was yesterday and sometimes I have a hard time making it feel like the holidays because I think my parents made it what it is to me. I am trying my best for Lincoln but it still doesn't feel the same for me. Maybe as he gets older and he can understand more, it will change, who knows. I am grateful for wonderful friends to spend it with though. My other siblings went to in-law's homes this year, or those who could anyway, and since Scott's parents live on the other side of the country it wasn't possible this year for us to do that either and it was the first year we have had to spend away from family. It was fun and I feel so blessed to have the gospel in our lives, to move out here to Vegas and make so many wonderful friends in our ward. It was almost like spending Thanksgiving with family!

Well Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
