We're still cooking

The Dr apt went good yesterday no progression with the contractions which is awesome lets just keep it that way. I didn't see my regular Dr she is on vacation so the dr filling in for her was retired and adorable! He put us on a no travel (father than an hour) schedule and said it could be days or weeks but its better to stay close. The contractions have slowed down to every 8-10 minutes last night I felt great. Today not so hot I hope its just the lack of sleep!
Thanks everyone for your concern and prayers! We are so blessed to have you in our lives!

A Night in Labor and Delivery

We had A FABULOUS Christmas first of all! Ray spoiled me rotten as he always does! We spent the night at Ash & Mikes the gave up their bed for us LOVE YOU! We spent Christmas morning with them it was SOOOO FUN! Then spent the rest of the day with family it was great! We had a relaxing Sunday until about 7PM then I started contracting every 15 minutes, then 10, then 8. I got in shower I was not about to relive the week we had with Blaze if we had to go into the hospital with no shower. They didn't stop so I got in the tub... still didn't stop so we went to bed and I told Ray I would wake him up if they got worse...
3AM I wake up with killer contractions. I waited about 20 minutes.. they were every 4 minutes. I woke Ray up and into Labor and Delivery we went. They looked at me like I was a little crazy there was no way I was contracting that close... hooked me up and we were there for 4 hours contrations never stopped. But I am not dialiating so they sent me home and told me to take it easy. The contractions are still going about every 6-10 minutes now... (Tues Morn) But I guess as long as I'm not progressing I can take the contractions. Just one more week. I have a Dr apt this morning hopefully there is no progression :)

Update on Life and Baby G

Okay so since we don't have the Internet... at home I am not so good at posting pics AHHHH but I will :) After Christmas I promise :)Update
We've had Christmas Parties every weekend for the past 3 weeks ward, Huff, and Nessen and 2 baby showers (Nessen & Huff) in between... lets just say this little man is one loved little boy! His room is Farm Animals OH MY HEAVENS lets just say I love to go in his room just to see how adorable it is!
We've had a few Dr appts... for the most part good he is right on schedule and SOOO wiggly I love it! This week I've been having lots of contractions (this is not the first time with this little boy) So I went in for my checkup I'm starting to Dilate so they gave me the 2 shots in my hips to develop his lungs (34 weeks is our goal and we are now 32 1/2) We are so close! Our focus is to make it thru these next few weeks without this little man coming. 34 weeks is a HUGE milestone its when the babies lungs are fully developed... so as a Mom who has had to love her baby from the NICU incubator we are trying so hard to keep him in.... a little stressful to say the least. Anxious to meet him but scared he's wanting to come too soon.
Ray and I both finished this last semester WHAT A RELIEF to be done! Lets just say I realized I'm not as young as I used to be... school, work, and home life about put me under. Ray only has 1 more Semester WOOO HOOO well then 1 class in the Fall unless he decides to pursue a minor in Nuclear Engineering... we're still waiting on that one. He's had 2 AMAZING job offers... that's all I can say for now :)
I just got called to be in the Primary Presidency as the 2nd councilor AHHHH I am so excited I LOVE PRIMARY I never thought I would like it and with all the callings I've had PRIMARY is my FAVORITE one!
That us in a nutshell Pics to come after Christmas... Maybe Santa will bring us the Internet at home :) HINT HINT
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

A Thankful Heart

I can't believe November is over... I have always heard the older you get the faster the time goes... it is proving to be true and I don't like it. As I look back over this year I can't believe how fast it has gone by. In 13 days Blaze would be 18 months old... he would be old enough to go to primary and it seems so unreal to me. Once being in a situation that I thought I would literally die because of now we are almost 18 months past it. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him, we still pray for him, and feel his missing presence in our home. How grateful we are to be blessed with and angel in our lives. Not everyone gets that extra incentive to carry on from the other side and we are grateful for him everyday.
November is done but I wanted to post what I have been so grateful for this year as not to forget before the holiday busyness kicks in.
I am thankful for:
Ray he is my rock, the love of my life, and the BEST Husband a girl could ever hope for.
Family (Mine and Rays) words can't express how grateful I am to be loved and to love such amazing people. I feel constantly blessed to be surrounded by such great people
who love and give so much.
Great Friends Ray and I are so blessed to have such great friends who lift us up and help us along lifes journey
Health this is a big one for me I am so grateful that I have legs to walk and run, Eyes to see people I love and beauty all around me, Ears to hear laughter, and all of the ablities to enjoy this life without limitations.
Freedom I am grateful to be an American, for those who have gone before me to have what I do today and for those who sacrafice so much to defend our freedoms.
A Home to live in
Power
Heat
The Gospel I love being a primary teacher with Ray it is the BEST calling ever!
My Savior He has saved my soul and carried me in moments when I couldn't carry myself
My Sister Without her I would be completely lost and talk Rays ears off..
My Boys Blaze in Heaven and Baby G who is active and growing
Being an Aunt I LOVE IT! It is the best thing ever!
I am thankful for so many things! I feel blessed beyond what I can fully express. I hope this holiday season is filled with Thankfulness for all the little things that really become the big things in life.

Seriously Soup?

Okay so last week I decided to be a domestic woman and instead of buying canned beans I would buy them dry and cook them... not a big deal I have done this before. So here is how it played out...
Monday morning measure out the beans and soak them in water before I leave for school and work. Come home they've been soaking all day perfect. Make dinner and cook the beans for 1 1/2 hours. Get distracted beans run out of water and BURN ARRRRG What a waste! Throw them away, open the windows and get out the room spray to kill the burned smell. Oh well lamo!
Wednesday repeat the steps of Monday. Other than... this time I was SOOOO tired and I feel asleep while the beans were cooking (an hour and a half is a long time peeps) I wake up to Ray running in the kitchen and BURNT BEANS ARRRRRRRGGGGG! I think "Why can I not just make these beans... am I not supposed to make this yummy soup?"
Friday repeat steps of previous days... but I DIDN'T burn the beans this time. They were perfect. I put them in the fridge to make soup for dinner on Sunday.
Sunday come home from church, put all ingredients in crock pot and let slow cook for a couple hours... all is well it smells delish! Tyrel & Elena will be here in an hour and it we'll have delicious soup. I take the lid off the crock pot... (which doesn't have a handle btw it broke forever ago so I use a hot pad) Stir the soup, put the lid back on and walk away. From the other room I hear a loud BANG. I thought Ray had dropped something. I come down the hall and he tells me not to step on the kitchen floor... why I ask??? Because our Crock Pot lid just EXPLODED! What in the world??? Why was I not supposed to make that soup! Ray jokingly said "Honey if you wanted a new one all you had to do was ask" NOT COOL PEEPS NOT COOL! I was upset at so much wasted food and a perfectly good crock pot that now has no lid at all... she end was perfect however. we whipped up some other soup that was delicious and had a great time with T&E.
Stay tuned for NERD NIGHT pictures to come :)

My Amazing Husband

Just a little shout out to the Love of my Life Ray!
Yesterday was the Chem E car Nationals held her in Salt Lake City. For those of you who don't know what that is (I had no idea before I married a Chemical Engineer) the chem e car team builds a car from scratch that they have to make run on chemical reactions. They have to make it go so far and then stop only using chemicals. Pretty Crazy Stuff :) Here is a pic of their car.. Ray had decided not to go because it was Sunday however... during church he kept getting calls from guys on his team panicing that he wasn't going to be there. So after church I encouraged him to go. He has worked super hard to help with this project and his team needed him. So I was relaxing at home and the news came on and they did a little blurb about the U losing to TCU on Sat :( and how they hoped the Chem E team could beat Texas at this meeting instead. What do you know Ray comes on the news HE IS SO HANDSOME he had a little blurb on their car. They had a few technical difficulties... the wheel fell off in the the first round oops. But all in all they did really good 12 out of 31. Here's the link to KSL if you want to watch his little part http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=13187238
He was also on Fox 13 news, KSL radio, and in the Desert News :)
We've felt extreemly blessed with job interviews for another internship next summer with Proctor & Gamble (this is the one we would love), Rio Tinto and today he got a call from Sun products... our prospects look good and I feel blessed beyond reason for just chance that he has to interview :)
I'm just really proud of him! He's worked super hard to get here and I love seeing him be so good at what he loves! So to my HANDSOME and AMAZING hubby and our boys Daddy! GOOD JOB WE LOVE YOU WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
