Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

Recently Moss and I have been going on lots of walks at night to maybe help get this baby out and its just fun to go on a walk and have no interruptions and just be able to talk. It seems to be working a little because today at our doctors appointment I was checked for the first time and they said I was at a 1 and 50% effaced. She said it was pretty normal, but then I told Bonnie and she said that none of my sisters have ever been anything that soon. That got me a little excited. But we will see, our next appointment is next Monday I will let you know:)
Back to the walking...
This weather has made it a little difficult to just go on walks at random since we would freeze if we did. It has become quite the process to get bundle up enough so we stay warm. Since I am huge none of my jackets really fit so well, it pretty hard to breath sometimes but I haven't died yet. Here we are already to go:

I thought this was kinda cute...

While walking I saw this from far away and thought it was a snowman, turns out it was just a fire hydrant whoops...

We then posed a little in the snow...
(We are smiling I promise)
Then we threw some snow balls...

It was really fun and I love being able to go on walks with Moss!
Tonight for family home evening we are going to go up to stone cliff and look at all the lights up there. I am excited!

I love Christmas

35 Weeks aka Chunky Monkey

Yup you read that right Chunky Monkey according to Moss. Ok he was not referring to how I look now but how I looked when I was three years old. I am in the process of recording all my home videos, 141 to be exact, to DVDs and Moss has finally seen just how fat I was as a child. He is really scared for what I am going to pop out in about a month and I agree with him. I guess we will see, hopefully he takes after his dad and is real little. A girl can hope right? The doctor says he doesn't except him to come before the end of the year, which we are a little sad about considering tax breaks. But we will survive I guess. We have an appotiment on Monday where they will start to check me so I guess its all down hill from there:) I will keep ya'll posted.

We made Gingerbread Houses

Every year we get together with the Woodbury clan to make Gingerbread houses. Recently the kids have taken over having most the fun with them but there are still a few adults that get into it while the rest of them just eat the candy. I have taken it upon myself to keep the spirit alive and make one for Moss and I. I didn't spend too much time on it but overall I think it turned out pretty cute.


Madison loved the idea of have the taffy pulled apart then strung over the house. We both are not quite sure what it was suppose to be but we did it anyways. I am huge so I hope you can still see the house behind my huge swollen hand.

Moss also got a few pictures of Madison and Porter working on theirs so I will put those up too just for fun.

Getting ready for Brenden!

This month we have been doing a lot to get ready for Brenden. On December 6th I had my baby shower that my awesome sister put on for me. Heather made over 100 invitations that were so so cute! It was a lot of fun to hang out with all of them and some friend for an afternoon. Thank you to everyone that came, I really appreciated it:) I got a lot of cute outfits and blankets.

Joanna made me a baby book that is so cool and has lots and lots of pages to put pictures in and write all about Brenden I am really excited to get started on it. Thanks JO!
My Grandma even came down from Payson:)

We had very yummy soup and bread bowls.

Bonnie and Nicole gave me a really good gift card and then I got a few others so afterward Moss and I went to Target and got everything that we still needed. It was really fun to just walk through the store and throw anything we thought we needed into the cart. We came home and put his room all together. We both loved it, it was so much fun. We even made a really late night trip to Wal-Mart to get some storage things to use as a dresser until we can find a good one. Then I will just use it in my craft room to store all my yiz. We got another little stroller to have when we go to stores and stuff because although our Jeep one is freaking sweet its a little bulky to haul around everywhere.


Moss mom made Brenden this way cute Blanket! He is going to love all the bright colors:)
We finally got the room all put together:) I think it turned out pretty dang cute.


Moss is getting a lot of practice being comfy in this chair. He even is getting good at sleeping in it apparently...
We have lots of stuff to keep the baby entertained but with our luck he will probably just want to be held all the time or love to play with boxes or something.


I think we are ready:) We even packed our hospital bag a little bit last night. Moss was so funny walking around the house asking me if I needed to take random things with me. I love that kid:)

Christmas Treats :")

This year I decided it would be fun to make some Christmas treats to give away to Moss' co workers and a few other friends. I saw some bags full of Hot Chocolate, marshmallows and chocolate chips at K-mart and decided I could get creative and make my own. Moss was a troopers and help me run around town gather the stuff we needed for it. I then decided they would be cute to put into some mugs so we got some from Tia Pan and headed home to get started on our project. We had a pretty sweet assembly line going first I would add the Hot chocolate

then the Marshmallows

then the Chocolate chips

and then Moss would twisty tie them.
And then they were done:)

I added them to the mugs, added some ribbon and this is the finnally product.

This is the troops already to go:)

Our Thanksgiving 2008

This year Moss and I spent most of Thanksgiving with his family since last year we spent it with mine. In the morning though I went over to my moms house and made some necklaces and bracelets while Moss went into Summit for about an hour. It was fun to hang out with my sisters and be crafty, we used to do a big craft every year while the boys went riding but since it was raining the boys were not gone very long and we had a billion kids running around. This is how the morning looked...
I made jewlery

Heather made some crafts for her neighbors that are way cute

And Bonnie ate candy

Brayden did as Bonnie did

And Cam tried to still the candy

All the while Bonnie and Heather helped in the kitchen and Joanna showed up after awhile and held her baby:)

Later on we went to Moss' parents house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was very good and fun to be around all his family since they don't get everyone together very often. I forgot my camera in the car so I don't have any pictures of the meal but trust me it was good.
After dinner we all laid around for awhile then headed down to Summit so the kids could swim and the adults could play a game of "Manley Battle" otherwise known as badminton. You would think Badminton wouldn't be intense but trust me it is. I didn't play this year cause I would of died but last year I did and it was sweet. It's funny cause in one of my pregnancy magazines it specifically says do not play Badmition. haha. Moss did great! I made more necklaces...

After wards we came home and ate lots of pie. We seriously had like 10 pies to pick from. Moss and I made an Apple one and a Banana Cream one. Moss loved his pie.
I got a little bit of each... no wonder I look like I am carrying a baby all over my body:)


The rest of the weekend we spent more time with Moss' parents and Jay and Brynn. It was a lot of fun. We played lots of card games and even went to that crazy park I posted about awhile ago. I am excited for Christmas when everyone gets together again:)
