Gabriel's Birth announcement (THAT MY SISTER MADE!)
Look at these cheeks!
So, I am sitting in Dads chair! You got a problem with that?

Just plain cute! He is awake!
The Pacifier is still way big!So I really didnt know if I should be angry or if I should take it as a compliment for my sister. Let me explain........
While we were in Utah, my sister took some really cute pictures of Gabriel. Then we picked out some pictures that we like from those that she took and one from the hospital and my sister designed some baby announcements for us on Photoshop. They turned out great. Maybe a little too great. Well i finally got around to printing them at walmart. Originally I had planned to use the kodak kiosk and print them myself. It is more expensive, but a whole lot quicker. That plan failed because my SD card was too big and the kiosk was not equipt to handle or at least that is what the associate said. Anyway so I used the other kiosk thing and set it up to have my announcements printed in an hour. So I went and finished my shopping and came back. I came back in an hour and they were not printed. The associate said the machine was not working right and to come back in thirty minutes. She said she would give the pictures to me for free, because of the trouble. I was not bothered by that at all (i was wishing that I had printed more announcements). I came back a half an hour later and the associate, without saying anything to me, handed me the envelope with all the pictures on it. As I was walking away I saw, in big red letters, written on the envelope the word- COPYRIGHT- with a big question mark behind it. Really!? I am assuming they thought I was making illegal copies of the announcements. What I don't get is why they did not ask me about it. One of my biggest pet peeves is being accused of something I did not do. Ahhh! I was so mad and I wanted to complain to someone, but I thought to myself that I got the pictures for free and should I really push my luck. I should just walk away and be content with the gift I got. Well it obviously still bothers me a little that someone out there thinks I am that dishonest. Pooh! Well I guess my sister did a better job than we both anticipated. She is great!
Okay so my brother is back from his mission and there is a photo right below, but here is My mom holding Gabriel. I love this picture because they both look like they are completely loving this moment together. So cute! 
Wow! The holidays were great this year! I felt like I got really spoiled over this holiday break. My favorite part was that I got to spend a lot of extra time with my hubby! Yeah! Well.... here we go!
CHRISTMAS: Yipee! I love my job because I got two weeks off and still get paid the same amount of money. Christmas Eve we traveled to my mom's house. Such a long journey..... a whole hour! lol! We were blessed to have good roads and short traveling distance. It was quite a crowded house (it makes the holidays better) but fun. Lot of good food- thanks to my wonderful mom! My brother Sheridan and his girlfriend Jess came down, which was really nice because I had not seen either in quite a while. For Christmas Aaron bought me an awesome video camera! Love it! It has a 60 GB hard drive and a mini sd slot. Serious! Totally sweet! He also got me tons (lots!) of wonder tees from Down East Basics. Coolest store ever! I love the shirts because they are super long and light and fit pretty snug so that they can go under lot of different shirts. and they are cheap (in price)! I got lots of gifts from my family too. and a few gift for our little one to be!
Birthday: My birthday was really fun this year as well! Aaron again spoiled me with a new camera (we needed some new picture taking equipment for the soon to be). My parents sent me wonderful gifts! I even got a really cool book about adoption that I am already reading (thanks mom!) I went to lunch with my sister Heather and her Husband Ben. I am so thankful for their sweet spirits in my life. They bring me so much joy! I love them. I then went to dinner with Aarons parents at a Thia food restaurant-Anongs- MY FAVORITE! And then my wonderful friend Dot made me a cake! How awesome- and it was WAY good too! I totally am blown away by her generosity! Let me tell you! I could not ask for better friends. I had so many people call or write to wish me a happy birthday. It was so much fun to check my email or facebook all day long and find so many happy wishes. My family and friends rock!!!!! Oh yeah! My friend, Kara, made me some of her homemade bread- which I crave constantly. It is so good. She has made it for me the last few years for my birthday. I just love her!
New years: Well we had a lot of fun playing games at Brandon and Dots house (we spent quite a few days playing games and hanging out over the break). We stayed up way too late and ate way too much junk food. We got home at about three in the morning and I was up the rest of the night sick. But once I threw up I was much better. Yuck! I honestly cannot remember the last time I threw up but it has been about 20 years and I think I will wait another 20 before I throw up again. EWWWW! On a positive note: Our babys birthmom is going to get induced on sunday the 1th or monday the 12th. Holy Crap! She also sent us Ultrasound pictures (thanks Dot for reminding me to ask). So neat! Sureal. Anyway it makes it a week or less tell we get our baby boy (I am calling him Gabriel- Aaron likes Myles-what do you think). So everyone start praying really hard. We need this miracle.
The next Few pics are after my birthday with the new camera!
