Happy Thanksgiving!
Well we just got back from a loooooonnnngggg journey to Missouri to visit Brandon's dad and step-mom. I don't know what my little pregnant mind was thinking driving-yes driving-all that way but it was nice to see the family non-the-less. As we were traveling I was thinking about all the things I'm thankful for. Well, at that exact moment I was thankful for the brilliant person that came up with the airplane (even though they are not my favorite things). I was also thankful at that moment (traveling through Nebraska) that I am NOT a pioneer and that I have the wonderful convenience of Modern Medicine. But seriously how can you pin point all the things you are thankful for like a David Letterman top ten list! Well maybe you can because when it comes down to it there are probably about 10 things that I am REALLY TRULY thankful for. Anyway we all know what THOSE are but how about a FUN "Thankful for" list? Like...

*What I am most Thankful for during prgnancy*
10-Nausea and vomiting-Hey I lost 10 pounds!
9-Prenatal vitamins for hair and nail growth!
8-NAPTIME-if it's your first baby!
7-That it's acceptable to buy bigger clothes.
6-Being able to eat what you want and NOT make excuses!
5-TUMS!!! (See above)
4-THE GLOW!!! I don't know what pregnant woman thinks she glows but...whatever!
3-Those little "Love Nudges" (from the baby) at midnight!
2-Ultrasounds-because how awesome is it to see that little miracle?
1-The fact that Heavenly Father really does trust us with another one!

Okay so just a silly little list to make someone smile-I hope!

LOOTH TOOTH!

I was so nicely woken up at 7:00 am this morning to Natalie rushing into my room, hopping on me bed yelling "MOM, GUESS WHAT? I HAVE A LOOSE TOOTH." which of course got me to open my eyes and peek in her little morning breathed mouth to see the wigglings of a baby tooth! The Dentist said it would probably come out in six months. HA-what kid can NOT play with a loose tooth? That baby will be out of there way before six months I'm almost positive! I just cannot believe that she's starting to lose teeth, what's next...a training bra? AHHHHHH!

Natalie being in Kindergarten at Challenger-where she has to wear a uniform EV-RY-DAY-can take it's toll on a little 5 year old, so the idea that Halloween was coming and that meant NO UNIFORM was pretty exciting for her. She wanted to be Daphne from Scooby-Doo, and luckily they had a costume at Target so I didn't have to attempt to make one for her! We did however spray her hair with orange spray and she thought that was pretty cool.

They had a fun little program at school and afterwards we drove down to M-One to visit Oma and Papa at work. Omi and Opa were there and Natalie and Dad went next door to visit Grandma Phyllis. After that we went to Grandma and Grandpa Harden's house for Trick-or-Treating, and then on to Grammy's. It was quite the fun-filled, sugar-rushed day!

WELCOME TO THE BLOGGING WORLD!

ENTRY #1 WOOHOO HOW EXCITING IS THIS!
I hope I get the hang of all this "STUFF". I'm sure a year from now it will be easy as pie, but not as messy hopefully!

Well we finally have a Foundation to our new home. It's crazy how fast they can bust out houses these days...and a little nerve wracking also! We have a great location in Farmington close to the freeway in a nice little neighborhood. It's exciting to watch the progress as they build, but at the same time we hope the progress of selling our current home is just as productive! I guess we'll see.


Hope everyone is well and I can't wait to find more blogging friends, to visit!
