My crazy cravings

Isn't it funny how crazy pregnancy makes you? Seriously my poor husband, I don't know how he doesn't laugh at how crazy I have been this week. This pregnancy, and it was the same with Brinlee, I crave certain meals, which is normal I think. The bad thing is usually when the cravings hit its usually night time. So 2 nights ago I start craving a ceaser salad from Rumbi's. Have I ever ate this salad before? No, I had a bite of Ashlee's once maybe 6 months ago. Would any other ceaser salad work? No, not in my crazy mind. So it is 10pm and Dave is being as cute and supportive and calls to see if they were open, and obviusly they are not. So I throw a bit of a tantrum at how frustrated I am that I only want food at night and decide to have a bath to calm down, meanwhile Dave is trying his hardest to think of something I can eat instead. 2 hours later I decide maybe french toast sounded good and I go in the pantry and we are out of syrup. Poor Dave is suggesting to drive to the store at midnight and thinking of other things I could put on instead, but I am fighting back tears. I finally decided to just have a bowl of cereal and go to bed. So today what does he do..shows up with my salad :) He is so good to me. The bad thing is this isn't the only time I have cried over a craving and I don't think it will be the last. It sounds so silly now but in that moment is seriously feels like the end of the world :)

Valentines Day

I had all this big plans of fun things to do with Brinlee for Valentines but because of all my morning sickness I never felt up to doing them, so I decided this year to have a Valentines party like you would at school so we could fill the day with things I never had a chance to get done.

First we made Valentines for all cousins, aunts and uncles and passed them out at Sunday dinner.This was our party agenda. We didn't end up making cookies because Dave was fasting for his life insurance exam and I wasn't feeling that ambitions :)
Here we are making some hearts. It was the first time I pulled out stamps, and she loved them

Dave even joined in on the action :)

Next Brinlee got her first manicure. I have painted her toes before but she is such a crazy thing I haven't dared try the fingers yet. But she did really good. She loves it. When she woke up this morning she had to show me again.

It had always been tradition in our family to "kick" valentines on your door. (which basically means do it without anyone noticing and knocking and running away) She got a few books and some candy.
For dinner, I actually felt up to cooking a real meal (not just mac and cheese or top ramen :)) so I thought I would Valentines it up and make it pink. Brinlee kept asking if it was yogurt, so after that I kept excepting it to taste like strawberry :) Sorry the picture is upside down

Then when Dave came home I was welcomed with these. It was a really fun day.

The Good Ole Days

If you knew me between the years of 14 and 16 you knew one of my favorite things in the whole wide world was going to stake dances :) I am pretty sure I attended every one in those 2 years. So when I saw that my ward was going to have a Valentine's dance I got so excited to relive all those good times I used to have. So that is what we decided to do for our Valentines this year.

First when we should up we were the first couple not required to be there :) and definitely the youngest, but as it went on a few more showed up. Dave and I had a blast. Our Relief Society president and her husband taught how to swing dance and then a member of the Bishopric taught us to ballroom. It was hillarous to see everyone dancing the night away. I learned Dave isn't the smoothest dancer and one man made the comment to him that he was glad he taught Gospel Doctrine better than he danced :) But I am so grateful he is such a good sport to go to things like that with me. Today at church we couldn't help but laugh when we saw the people from the night before. You see people differently after you dance the YMCA with them :) It definitely was a great Valentines.

Oh Baby!

Its official! I am pregnant with #2! I am so wonderfully excited! I am 10 weeks and due Sept 5th!!!

Just a side note.. I swear millions of people have asked me lately when we were going to start trying and here I was already pregnant but I thought it would take me awhile to get pregnant like it did with Brinlee so I didn't tell anyone I was trying and I am always cautious to tell before I go to the doctor, so sorry I wasn't trying to lie to you guys :)
