slacker

I know I have been a slacker. So, I am updating this blog, so that my mom will get off my back. Just kidding, mom! Anyway, there is alot of news to report! First, you have to forgive me if the blog does not get updated on a regular basis because I no longer have a laptop. Our house was broken into about 3 weeks ago and everything was taken. Laptops, cameras, our GPS, Luke's playstation 3, and the rest of our electronics. The insurance will cover most, but the things that we can't replace, like all the pictures that were stored on our laptops, my wedding jewelry, etc. that is what makes me really upset.

But onto some more exciting news, if you didn't know already (man you are really out of the loop!) I am 23 weeks pregnant. We just found out it is a little girl! We are so excited and could not be happier! Here are some picks of the ultrasounds:

This one is at 10 weeks.
This is at 17 weeks. They could not tell us what the sex was at this visit because her legs were crossed! So we had to go back at 22 weeks!

This is the most recent at 22 weeks, where she finally showed us the goods! :)

Well, that is the most up to date news, hopefully I will be getting a new computer and camera and can update more!!

Major update!

Ok so I know it has been since October since I last updated this blog, but alot has taken place since then!! So cut me some slack!

OK so in November Luke and I bought a house. Which is very exciting, we have been working so hard to renovate and make it our very own.

Some of the improvements that we have done include: rounding corners, texturing all the walls, new prime and paint, painting all baseboards, creating brand new window seals, and Luke ripped off the rock wings off of the fire place.

OK so no pictures of that until it is finished. It is going to look so so good!

Alright then in December we added a bundle of joy to the family! My sister delivered her 2nd baby: Jordyn Elizabeth drake. We are so excited that she is here and she is just the most precious thing that you have ever seen!

She is just so so CUTE!

Well, there are things that I left out but that is just going to have to wait for another post!

pumpkin carving!

Today we carved pumpkins with my family. It was a lot of fun. Luke made me my own custom Tinker bell stencil to carve on my pumpkin.It took me a while, but I think it turned out very cute. Madisen was there, and she was "helping" everyone carve the "punks," it was very adorable.

Update

Just wanted to post an update. Things are good, Luke and I are trying to get into a house. So, right now our lives just consist of working and saving, working and saving. We will get there! Nothing much to post, I just feel bad when it has been over a month since I have put anything new. This Saturday I am helping my friend Marissa throw a Halloween party, so that should be a lot of fun! I don't know what I am going as though, not much time left! But I will for sure post some pics after the weekend!

New Baby!!

This week my sister-inlaw, Shannyn, had her little baby boy : Ladd Justus Manzanres. He is so precious!!

Such a cutie!!

Ladd and Luke's littelest brother Bridger. This baby boy is going to have a lot of awesome uncles to look up to!!!

Luke and his new little nephew!

Camping!

This weekend Luke and I went camping with some of our friends. We went up American Fork Canyon, and it was a lot of fun. This is only like my second time camping, but I loved it. We went fishing, and I caught a fish!

Hey he is not very big, but I was proud anyways!

We played games and made s'mores. We made a delicious dutch oven meal, complete with peach cobbler. It was really good to get away for the three day weekend. We did, however, end up getting rained on. Our tent was a little leaky, and so we decided to come home a little earlier than planned.

Try as he might, Luke could not catch a fish that day :(

Playing a little bit of Texas Hold'em.

Back in Utah

Well, Luke and I are back in Utah. After staying in Texas for two months, we decided the best thing for us is just to come back home. I am really happy though, I was getting so home sick. I have never been away from home for that long. But, man we are glad to get away from that Texas heat and humidity! For now we are living at home with my mom, in her basement until we get on our feet. We are so thankful for both of our family's support. They truely have helped us so much, and we don't know what we would do without them! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
