IT'S TIME...

for us to go private! We figured we should probably put our blog on private now since we could have our baby at any time! You just never know with all those creepy people out there! We are going to have lots to blog about here soon and would love to keep you all updated so make sure you leave your email for me and if you want me to delete it off my comments after just let me know and I will as soon as I get it! We go to the Dr. every week now and last week when I went I was effaced 70% already and he has dropped a whole lot too! My Dr. said I'm a little ahead of where the average is at this stage so just maybe he will be here a little early! Even though this is the best christmas gift we could ever dream of we really don't want to be at the hospital on christmas day so cross your fingers and pray for us! And don't forget to leave us your email! =)

MY BABY SHOWER!!!

Last weekend my family had a baby shower for me! It was so much fun and I got everything I wanted and needed and more! I LOVED everything I got! My mom and sisters spoiled me! They bought me my car seat and stroller that I wanted and the diaper bag that I wanted and they filled it chuck full with more things! I also got a camcorder from my dad, step-mom Linda, her mom and Heather! I got a TON of blankets and I love them all! I got my sound and movement monitor that I wanted, a pump, a swing, a glider, and a ton of cute clothes! And lots of diapers! Plus much more! We really got spoiled! It was so nice to be able to see everyone who came and we really appreciate all the love and support from everyone! Thanks to everyone who came and helped out! Especially all of my family and extended family! Mom, Cassie, and Alisha- You guys are the BEST!!! I don't know what I'd do without you! I love you guys so much! =)

Happy Birthday Tyson!!!

Tuesday was Tyson's Birthday! But we really started celebrating on Sunday! We had a family party for him where we had cake and ice cream and played games! Then the morning of his birthday he woke up and I had a scavenger hunt ready for him right when he got out of bed! Every clue lead him to another birthday present! Some of his presents were kind of boring so I had to make it fun for him! His last clue lead him to the kitchen where I had breakfast ready for him! When he was little his favorite breakfast was his Dad's famous biscuits and sausage gravy recipe so I attempted to make it for him! His dad's is a lot better but I think he still liked it! Then he had to go to work so I left one more clue in the car for him and a gift certificate to the Bajio Grill for his lunch that day! Later that night we went to his favorite restaurant Iggy's and had dinner with some friends and then we ended the night watching a movie! I hope he had as much fun as I did! 

I love you babe and I hope you had a Happy Birthday! =)

Birthdays, Carving pumpkins, and Halloween!!!

This past week has  sure been an eventful one! On Sunday we celebrated Haley's birthday! She is such a cutie and such a joy to be around! Right after her party we went and  carved pumpkins with our friends Riley, Aubree, Stacey, and Mckade! Tysons pumpkin was really small and he didn't really have room to use a pattern so he decided to make a Borat pumpkin! I attempted to make a cat one and it turned out better than I thought it would! Then last night we got to go to a Halloween party with a bunch of friends! We ate a bunch of yummy food and played some really fun games! My sister Alisha helped me make my costume! It's kinda hard to be creative with costumes when your pregnant so she had an idea to make me a frog! And Tyson- well I am not quite sure what to call his costume exactly! It was pretty gross though! It did not even look like him! Next year we will be able to dress our little boy up and I can't wait! But we had a blast this past week! It's been busy but it sure was all a lot of fun!

The Birthday Girl! She really wanted a skate board for her birthday!

Saying goodbye!

It's been a crazy week but I am finally taking the time to update! We had my Grandma's funeral a few days ago and it was absolutely beautiful! All of the grandkids got the opportunity to tell memories we had of her for the funeral service and it was so nice and fun to remember all the good times we had with her! We laughed and we cried. We all feel so blessed to have her as our Grandma and to know that she is happy! We will miss her very much and will always cherish our memories together! We love you Grandma!

GRACE

Grace Page Turpin

Sept. 21, 1922 - Oct. 16, 2008

My Grandma Grace hasn't been doing very well these past few years. The doctors and nurses had told us quite a few times that she probably wouldn't make it very much longer. But every time she pulled through. It just never was the right time for her to go. Well yesterday my mom called me and told me she wasn't doing well again and that she probably wouldn't make it through the next couple of days. So last night me and my sisters went to visit her. My mom and her sisters were there also and as we all stood around her bed she passed away. I feel so blessed that we were there with her when it happened. She passed away so quickly and so peacefully. It was quite an amazing experience. We all could feel the spirit there with us so strongly. We will miss her soooo much but we are so happy for her. What a peaceful feeling it is to know that she is in Heaven with her husband and the rest of her family and that she is happy now. She was such an amazing person to everyone that knew her. We were all so close to her and we feel so blessed to have her as our Grandma. She truly is a woman of grace!  We sure will miss you Grandma and we love you so so sooo much!
