Merry Christmas 2010

We had so much fun during the holidays! It is so much fun to be able to have a child who was so excited about every present she opened. :) Here are some pictures of the fun things we have done the last couple of weeks.
                          Kambree all ready for church, this wasn't her Christmas dress I will have to take a picture of her in it because it looks so cute on her.

 She got into my mascara twice in one day! The first time I took a picture she said cheese and the second time she did it I think she knew I was not so happy.

 On Christmas Eve we made a birthday cake for baby Jesus. Kambree loved helping with all the cooking. She especially loved putting her hands in the batter and of course eating it.

Jake's mom and her Santa hat that she wears the whole month of December :) 

 Christmas day was fun, we had my family over for breakfast and presents. Kambree got spoiled rotten!

 2 days after Christmas is Loreen and Arlene's birthday. We make them a big fondue dinner and it was delicious! Jake and I had watched Minute to Win it the night before so we decided to play some of the games with everyone. This one is called Cliffhanger. You have to blow the card so it is just sitting on the edge of the counter. And of course all of these things you have to do in 1 minute.

 I was the winner on this game, I got it on the first try.

 THe next one you had to spin a dime and then stop it and have it stand up vertically. I think it was a tie between Jake, Lance and Alisha. They all got it 3 times. I didn't even get it once.

 We then played Dizzy Mummy. You have to unravel a whole roll of toilet paper by spinning in circles. Jake didn't even finish, it made him too sick. Mom and Alisha were the best although I think Alisha won by just a few seconds.

 It made you so dizzy, my head just kept spinning even after I stopped.

 Caddy Shack: this was the hardest for sure! Stack 3 golf balls and have them stay balancing without holding onto them for 3 seconds. Lance, Alisha and Arlene could stack at least 2 of them it was the last one that nobody could get.

 Noodling Around: Pick up 6 pieces of penne pasta with an uncooked spaghetti noodle. Jake was the fastest on this one.

 Face the Cookie: You have to move an oreo cookie from your forehead to your mouth only using your facial muscles. Arlene got it every time!

 The other night our house was a complete disaster, as it seems to be a lot lately. We decided to just play a game with Kambree and told her to go get some pants out of her dresser. She brought 2 whole drawers of shirts, dresses, and jackets but it took her quite a while to get the pants. SHe was so entertained and we didn't really mind the mess since there already was one.

Hope you all had a great Christmas! We are so grateful for our family and friends who we were able to share so many fun memories with this Holiday season. 

The Last shot!

Tonight is my last shot after doing 65 of them! That's right 65 shots,  one everyday. But it is all worth celebrating because we have a little bambino growing :) I am now 10 weeks pregnant!!! After our last failed Invitro cycle we decided to give it another try. This time went a lot better! We got 14 eggs and 7 of them fertilized and made it to day 3. We were able to put in  2 embryos and one of them took. I had some low hcg levels at first and it wasn't looking too promising but everything has been great and we have seen the baby's heart beat 3 times now. That is such an amazing thing! It truly is a miracle and we feel so blessed that God has blessed us with this little baby. I have had a lot more morning sickness (all day sickness) this time but have just started taking Zofran and have been feeling great the last couple of days! Now to decided if we will wait to find out the gender of this little guy. Jake wants to find out but I think it would be so much fun to wait until the end.

 Here is the box of about half of my shots. I had to put a lot of them in the refrigerator. These ones you just give in the stomach, they're not too bad.

 These are the more painful shots. Progesterone. They go into your hip or butt muscle. They aren't too bad at first. But once you have done them for a few weeks the oil starts to set up and you have hard little knots and bruises all over. This will be my last night of this shot, and I am so happy about it!

 Here are our 2 embryos that we put in. I really think it is amazing that I get a picture of my child as an embryo. That is definitely a perk of doing invitro!

 Here is our baby at 9 weeks. I wish the picture was a little better but o well.

I was able to surprise Jake at work to tell him we were pregnant. I ordered this cute shirt from Zoey's Attic online. They will custom make any shirt you want. They were so nice about it and I was so excited to do something fun to tell him. When he saw us I asked him if he liked Kambree's shirt? He read the front and that was it. He said, "Yeah that's nice". I asked him if he wanted to know the rest of the joke and he just looked at me funny. Then I showed him the back and he smiled really big! I am so excited Kambree gets to have a sibling.

Happy Halloween!

It has been so much fun to celebrate Halloween this year. Kambree loves watching all the people in different costumes and had so much fun at the Lehi Legacy Center Halloween party. This was her first experience with trick or treating and she was Ecstatic over her first piece of candy. She was running all around and was excited to go to the next stop. I had her be a bee again because the costume still fit her from last year and she really liked it. Although, yesterday at Target we saw a cow costume and she absolutely loved that one much more than the bee. She kept saying "moo. moo." Over and over again. Next year I figure she will be a little more opinionated at what she wants to be. And I will let her choose.

 This picture was taken at my preschool Halloween Party. I need some tips for getting kids to not want sugar all the time. She use to be such a good eater and now she just wants sugar 24/7.

 We went to Gardner Village and got some pics next to the Witches. It was a mad house at that place. I was so exhausted by the time we left.

 We got to see some of our favorite mascots.

 Kambree got her face painted. I was surprised she didn't touch it and try to rub it all off.

Finally got one...

We have been going to Thanksgiving Point a ton lately with Kambree. She loves Farm Country and acts like all the animals are her own pets. So after spending a ton of money already paying each time we go I finally bought a season pass. We were able to go to the Dinosaur Museum the other day and it was a ton of fun. My only worry now is do they still have everything open when there is snow on the ground?

 Kambree loved playing in the sand but not as much as Jake did. I should have taken a picture of how into it he was.

 She will probably hate this picture but I just love when you see little kid bum cracks.

Finally, Jake has been working so much lately. But it is so nice when he is at American Fork hospital so we can go for a visit. I still can't believe how much she looks like him. Hopefully one day I will be able to see a little of me in her.
