Santa Found Us!!

Again, just barely getting to it! For Christmas this year, we were unable to make it home for the holidays so we did our own thing and had a great Christmas. This was our first "real" Christmas by ourselves and even though we missed being with our families, we had a great time. Santa was very generous and Jace was a lot of fun to have around. We were really excited for Christmas morning and, of course, it's the one day where Jace decided to sleep in. All in all it was a nice day to spend with our little family.

Jace Turns Two!!

Okay, so he's been 2 for almost a month now and I'm barely getting to it, but better late than never right? We had a small birthday party for him with a couple of families in our ward who have kids Jace's age. Although I don't think he understood why all of the people were here, he sure enjoyed having all the kids to play with. It was a really fun evening.

Tag.......I'm It!!!

I have been tagged sooo many times before and have never done it, whether out of sheer terror of boring everyone or realizing that I am very lame. But thanks to Lindsay for the wake up call, but be prepared because I could never compare to her:) So the moment we've all been waiting for..........Random Things about Angie!!!

* I grew up on a farm where we raised cows and horses (and a few other things). I participated in 4-H and FFA where I showed and sold beef at the fair. There were moments where I hated it growing up, but now want my kids to do it as well. It taught me responsibility and kept my busy throughout the year, but mostly the summer.

*Even though you wouldn't guess this about me now, I used to be an athlete in high school. Mostly volleyball and basketball where I played varsity for three years and was on the All-Conference All-Star team and the East District All-Star team my senior year. (Don't mean to brag.) Like I said wouldn't guess that about me right now.

*Blaine and I met at Ricks College and was in the same Family Home Evening group. Was 1 of 3 couples married from that group- talk about highly inspired!! We've now been married for 6 1/2 years.

*While we were still dating, we found out that our grandparents knew each other after WW2 ended when they homesteaded and farmed in the same little town in California. This is where I grew up until age10 and it's population at the time we moved was 1000 so you see why this is so random.

*Blaine and I have moved a lot!!! I lost count after 15 or so. Most of these were while we were at college so they weren't a big deal, but one huge cross-country move from Denver to Nashville, TN.

* I am the 4th of 10 kids. I have 3 sisters and 6 brothers and appreciate my parents a lot more after becoming a parent myself. Amazing people.

You can wake up because I'm finally done. I hope you found out a little something about me.

Surprise!!

Time to announce that we are expecting #2. Guess Heavenly Father thought we did okay with Jace and is finally entrusting us with another little one. We are really excited and Jace is letting on that he understands that another baby is coming, but he doesn't fool us one bit! I just finished my first trimester and hope all the bad things that came with it go away soon. I did not even feel pregnant with Jace, just some headaches now and then, but this one does not want me to forget about him (or her). I have been pretty sick, but can't complain too much (or maybe I can). Sorry it took so long to get the word out, but mark your calendars for July!!!
