I'M OUTTA HERE!

FINALLY THE GOOD NEWS!!!

It's official. We're pregnant! We started trying back in January, then took a hiatus in April while we were buying the house then started up again in June. So after many months of literally aching and hurting to have another baby we are! I couldn't be more happy and true to Devin's colors, he's already freaking out about Finances.....he totally reminds me of Jackson from Gilmore girls! Ha! My first feeling I had about the new baby was when I went into Emry's room when he woke up from his nap(about 2 minutes after I tested) to tell him. My mommy power say's it's a girl and her name is Ellie. Don't get me wrong. Everyone's first thought is your crazy and you don't know and don't get your hopes up etc. Well I want a boy because that would make life WAY easier and I'm a little scared of having a girl so i dunno. When we found our we were pregnant the first time I knew it was a boy named Emry in the time it took me to walk down the hallway from the bathroom to the bedroom so we'll see how it turns out this time. So our tentative due date i believe is May 27th-ish.
I'm still in a little bit of shock.OH!
The cutest part is when I called to tell Devin the news, our song was playing on the radio. It was a sign :)
The only weird thing that I have noticed so far that could have been a sign for pregnancy was one morning I woke up out of a dead sleep and wanted toast with rainbow chip frosting on it instead of butter and some cinnamon and sugar. And you heat it up for like 5 seconds. It's actually VERY good it tastes like a cinnamon roll! YUMMY and the second thing is the past three days I have had such bad pain in my abdomen that feels like I'm having contractions again. But thats all and I have no clue if that's normal but we're super excited!

My FANTASTIC yard!!!

So we have spend months on our yard and it's pretty much done! We have a little bit of work left like pushing the rocks flat in the backyard and decidiing what I want to put around the firepit and Devin has to make his step in the front yard. We didn't get enough grass so next year we'll have a little bit left to do but thats ok. The fact is I'M DONE!! well next year or the year after I have to build a retaining wall in the back yard up by the fence which then will become a gardenish area. I plan on planting some bush's or stuff in the rocks around the front yard. Oh crap I just remember I have to dig the hole for the tree! Ugh I guess I'm not done but close! I found some cool whiskey barrels for 75% off at ace so I have to get some soil and plant my tulips bulbs and bulbs in my garden box in the front yard too. But that part is fun! I might paint the garden box that dark brown color too. Anyway here is the progress of our yard....

Being Built-No fence

Backyard being built

Firepit was the first thing I built.

First part of the front yard getting done. I had to dig a 4 inch trench to put the black landscaping edge in then after I did it realized I really didn't need to dig the trench and the edgiing was too low. So I had to fill it back in.

Second stage. You'll notice in the left back corner I put edging in because we were only going to do a little grass but then I changed my mind to doing the whole yard and so i had to move all the edging and rocks.

Different view

Devin starting the grass in the backyard. it was freezing!!

Devin trenching the front yard

Devin's friend Evan volunteered to come help Devin lay the sod! BIG HELP! I was happy because for once I wasn't doing it all! YAY!!! though i lifted a lot of grass, which by the way I am allergic too, and my arms are scratched up and blubbly from hives. They hurt so bad! Anderson is there little boy and he wasn't feeling good so he needed some daddy love. Just like my boy. he doens't want anything to do with mommy when daddy's around.

backyard done besides the area around firepit and pushing the rocks flat in the back.

Emry playing in his new yard and sand box. We also go these chairs for 75% off at Ace. so we have 2 emry size and 2 Mommy and daddy size. It's fun!

Another view Finished-ish

So I posted a few blogs. Make sure you watch the videos of Emry they are HILARIOUS!!

Roger

Over Labor day weekend we went over to Utah for a re-funeral at least that's what I had been calling it. We left saturday morning and went and had family pictures done by our friend Liesel. We're really excited to see how they turned out. We haven't done picture of us all since Emry was 6 weeks. So this time we actually paid attention to which clothes we were wearing and I put make-up on. Then we went to my mom's to pick her up and taker her to the airport. After the chores were done, we went to my Dad's hotel for a bit before we left for the cemetary. My aunt Debra, and Uncle Jon and their son Brian and wife Amanda came, and My uncle Steve and his wife Vickie. It was small but very very fun. Which usually funerals are sad but he died 12 years ago and they moved him from California to be with his family here in utah. So he now lies next to his dad. Roger is the brother of my dad, Debra and Steve. We went to Olive Garden after and had dinner. It was so good! We literally stayed for about 4.5 hours! We got to hear tons of stories about everyone and learn about their lives. I regret that my dad's brothers and sisters haven't always been on good terms so it was fun to see them all talking and laughing. I really hope they get together every year.

On another note my Aunt Debra made Emry a BEAUTIFUL quit! It matches perfectly to his room! I was so excited because I have always loved quilts but I have never bought one because quilts have always had some sort of memory with them of who made them etc. So we haven't had any but now Emry does!!! I have wanted one for our bedroom but don't know anyone that would make one for us with the colors in our room. If you know anyone pass the info along please!!!

So after all the emotional days we drove home Sunday and rested for Monday which we spend the day working working working on the stupid lawn. Sorry this post was boring!

Emry Catch up

He's now eighteen months old and full of energy. He has a very defined personality. He still hits when he gets mad but he's amazing at giving hugs and kisses. He blows kisses and laughs histerically. Those moments make everything disappear. His favorite word right now is yet again NO! He loves watching ELMO!! he just laughs and laughs. He's such a smart kid.

Here's a video of Emry discovering the car. We had to drop of the Trencher from doing our sprinklers at 6 in the morning and wait two hours until they opened to make sure it didn't get stolen. This is what we did to keep little Em entertained.

Now at random times like sitting in his high chair or on the couch he'll randomly start saying vroom vroom and moving his hands like he's driving! Just like daddy.

I don't remember when this was but it's hilarious!! If you know the Hovik's you know that Emry really does have the Hovik blood running through his body!!

Emry has loved to sing and dance sing the moment he was born I swear! This is him getting down and grooving

This kinda shows his kisses though they are much much better now. He dances and little then throws in his little poop dance at the end. LOVE HIM!

I don't remember if I added this into a blog but this his Emry at the Leann Rimes concert. He's so funny!!! He absolutely loves music!!

So that's all I have for Emry!

Catching up

So I don't remember a whole lot of whats been going on with us the last few months except what I have pictures of to remind. So I am going to slowly blog about them so I am very sorry if I end up with 15 blogs in the next few days.

Back in the beginning of August we went to a few concerts. Each year the fair has a week up big concerts that only cost 10 bucks!(price of fair admission) So we get to go enjoy the fair and food and then see a concert front row! This year we saw Leann Rimes, Jason Michael Carroll, Lifehouse, and Joe Nichols. I only went to Leann and Lifehouse and Lifehouse was seriously one of the most fun and best concerts I have ever been to. Here's some picture of the night...

Devin and I, Evan and Leslie, and Ben(half a head) and Jamie

I had a crush on him tonight lol

Leslie screamed and screamed all night to get Ben's attention and FINALLY he did and he blew her a kiss!!!! Awesome!!! Though Evan wasn't too happy ha!

He was really weird.
