Our Garden Harvest

So we decided to plant some gardens this summer. We planted a million tomato plants and some zucchini and potatoes. The problem seemed to be that we don't have much sun in the backyard because it is shaded by a bunch of lovely trees that keep it cool and nice all summer long...=) Well this is not good for plants. They die...or just produce sad little offerings...I thought you all might want to see our wonderful potato harvest.


I placed a quarter there so you could get the full effect of the size of these babies...these are not Idaho Spuds. The rest of the garden was the same...sad little tomatoes and not one single zucchini...
Oh well..I'm sure they will cook up nice =)

Baby Blues =(

Man what does it take to have a baby these days?

We waited 6 weeks after the miscarriage to even try to get pregnant again, and even then we needed to take meds to start up a cycle. Well we did everything we were supposed to do and we thought it had worked! I started having the nausea and was hungry all the time etc. etc...I took a test on Thursday and sure enough...POSITIVE! YEA! We did it! Now we just hope it sticks this time.

Well no later that I say those words when today I get up and see red...NO, not again! I call the doctor and they say I should go to the ER just to be safe and get a rhogam shot. Well..after five hours and blood tests and ultrasounds later...nothing...no babies...could have been a false positive or it just didn't continue to develop.

AAHHHHH!!!

So still nothing.....still waiting....still trying.

My Nephew....Funniest pictures EVER!!

MMMM. Thanks for the food mom...what's this...something new! Let's get that in my mouth!



UUGGG....WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT!!



never again....

Wedding Spectacular

So this weekend we drove up to Boise Idaho for one of my oldest friends weddings. Teri grew up across the street from me so we have known each other since we were 3. So even though she moved all the way up to Idaho it wasn't going to stop me from being at her wedding.
It was a lovely wedding in a beautiful Methodist church. After the wedding came the reception at Lindy's steakhouse. John and I expected to eat a big steak but that was not what was waiting for us when we walked in......

A PIG!! Yes an entire pig just sat there looking at us...I had to put the flower in it's mouth so it wouldn't look so harsh.
But the fun was just beginning...they then began to dismember the little pig so it could feed us all...I have photographed the event for your enjoyment...

Poor piggy...this is just the beginning....


now they take the skin off.....



He just took off it's leg...

We already ate HALF THE PIG.....man it was SO tasty....I had seconds

We made short work of the delicious pig...here was all that was left

The pig was tasty but it was really about my sweet friend Teri...here we are together.



And my Johnny was there with me of course...

He is so silly........

I know...I know....

Ok so I just have to do this....My hubby, John, it the best freaken hubby in the whole world...He is the sweetest most caring, loving man in the universe and I am the luckiest girl in the world to get to be his wife.
I know this is mushy and gross but I just adore him and sometimes I just have to shout it out...so this is me shouting...I LOVE YOU MAN!!! =)
Oh and side note...I also am lucky to have the greatest IN-LAWS as well. His parents are the greatest...they are so sweet and supportive.
I am such a lucky girl...

I just had to share the good stuff....since I've shared the bad.

We Lost the Baby

Sadly we are no longer pregnant...we will try again.

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

The day has finally come. We are officially pregnant. We have been strategically planning this pregnancy so we really were hoping it would go along as planned, and so far....so good! It seemed like it took FOREVER to get pregnant but really it happened right away so we are VERY lucky! I took a home test on Friday and it came out positive so I rushed to work and had them order a stat blood test to confirm.( this is the beauty of working for doctors =)When the blood test came back positive I started telling everyone I knew =). So we have begun the countdown....we will keep you posted on all the exciting news.
LOVE YA!
