Hudson's Birthday Party

We all went to Nichole's mom's house for Hudson's 3rd Birthday! He was so excited I could barely get a picture that was not blurry. They are not living in Hawaii anymore, so it is a little easier to make trips. We were all so excited to see them. I had never seen Hunter before, he is so adorable. A little cuddle bug. John even snuck in some baby time. Its been a really long time since we saw all the family it was good to catch up with everyone. Erick seems to really love recruiting. Its tough to get people in, but he has the gift!

32 weeks!

Tomorrow Aleta will be 32 weeks. Only 8 weeks left. She is still having contractions but she is just staying on the medication and taking it easy. She says he is really active at night kicking around, I still have not felt him yet. We leave for our cruise in 15 days. I can't wait! The weekends are just not long enough anymore I am ready for a real break.

ITS SNOWING!

I can't belive it! March is almost over and it is snowing! We put the cats outside this morning, they are definately pampered inside kitties. They were begging to come inside. Now I really can't wait to go on our cruise, we leave April 28 and fly into San Diego and we will be spending 5 days in the sun!

Baby News

On Tuesday night Aleta started having contractions and they did not stop, so she went to the hospital and got a prescription to stop them. On Thursday they started again and the prescription was not helping so she called her doctor and he told her just to go to the hospital get checked in so he can monitor her for 24 hours. They still have not stopped and they started giving her steroids to develop the baby's lungs in case he comes early. She still has 10 weeks left. She is home now, on orders just to take it easy. She can still go to work, but when she feels tired she just needs to go home.

6 Months

As of March 9th Aleta is 6 months along! Only 3 months until the baby is here. I know I can't wait! I am so excited to be an Aunt!

Happy 20th Birthday to me!

Well I made it. Officially no more teenagers in the family! It is kind of strange I have not felt like a teenager for a long time so now I guess it is official. At work on Friday the Docs always buy us lunch but it was my choice, we ordered from one of my favorite restaurants and they also got me a cold stone ice cream cake. It was so much fun. Towards the end of the day it got kind of crazy and i kept getting told i needed to come up front for just a minute, I was going crazy running around and when I made it up front I had a special delivery of balloons and flowers from Mom, Crystal, and Andrew. Then on Saturday we just had a relaxing morning, John bought me some roses as well.

Later that evening John took me up to Salt Lake we ate dinner at the Dodo restaurant and we went to Kat Williams at Kingsbury Hall. I have never been to a comedian before. It was a different experience but definately a lot of fun. On Sunday Dad, Andrew, Aleta, Crystal, Chris, and John came over for dinner, cake and gifts. Crystal worked really hard to make me an awesome cake. She definately succeeded. It was great! I always love to get together with the family and have dinner. We also surprised my Dad with an early (very very early) birthday gift. We all pitched in and bought him and Ipod. He was so excited it was great! All in all I had a great Birthday weekend. Thanks everyone!! This was getting home after the comedian on Saturday we didn't make it home until 1:30. We were looking pretty tired.

We took a lot of pictures with the family. Chris and I being silly like always!

Pictures with mom and dad, Crystal and I, and brothers, sisters, husbands, wives and of course John!

Having Fun With the family!

John's mom Linda and his sister Nicole spent the night in Provo. We had a lot of fun being goofy, playing with the camera. We went to dinner and the restraunt was packed so it was a lot of fun to just relax back at the motel.

Aleta & Andrew

Aleta will be 24 weeks along on the 18th of February. She is excited to be more than half way there. They are expecting a boy in June. I cannot wait to meet him! I think she looks so cute, I love pregnant bellies! The top two names right now are Caleb Allen and Parker Allen, nothing for sure yet.

Just hanging around

Silly kitty Toby!

3 years!!

January 29 was our 3 year anniversary. I had planned for us to get massages and the day before the spa called and someone had a tonsil emergency. Luckily the same day at work one of the Doctors I work for had a couple extra Jazz tickets. So my date plan was saved.

John's 20th Birthday

I am trying to catch up! John turned 20 on October 24. I made him steak and mashed potatoes! He loved it. I love CPK's tirimasu so I ran out to buy him one , as you can see he was not impressed. But we had a lot of fun, just a quiet night at home.

Happy Birthday Chris

I tried making a scottish dessert, Sticky Toffee Pudding, for my brother-in-law Chris....It was very interesting!
