When a Mommy and Daddy love each other...

Today I got my hair cut! I mean really got my hair cut. It was pretty much down to my butt and now it's up to my shoulders. I also got to sleep in until 9 this morning! The girls usually wake up around 8 and come in and wake me up, but today (I only had Micah since Alyssa slept over at Nana's house) Micah came in at 9 letting me know she wanted to watch tv downstairs. I'm not sure if she had been up earlier than that playing in her room or had just woken up.
So, Zachary and I have been talking about having a baby for a long time now and I told him that once I was out of my birth control I would not refill it and we would try. Our first month wasn't so good. I thought that I was pregnant because a had a period that was 2 weeks late. I kind of felt that I wasn't pregnant, but I couldn't understand why I hadn't had my period. Anyways this past week or so I could tell there was something different with my body. IDK, I guess I could just feel the little spirit growing inside me, and Zachary could too. Last night he kept telling me that he could feel a baby (?????).

So, I went to the drugstore today and picked up a test assuming it was going to be negative again and after I turned around from washing my hands there were 2 lines this time. I jumped up and down and was screaming for joy!

J/K 4 Week pregnant. Due date is October 9th

Wouldn't It Be Nice


I picked up my sewing machine from my parent's house last night! Yay! It's been so long since I've sewn. I have a ton of projects to do.
1. Plastic grocery bag holders (one for the kitchen the other for a nursery for diapers. No baby yet, but hopefully soon)
2. Cute little coasters
3. Placemats
4. A bag for Micah and Alyssa each
5. Snuggies!
Now all I need is the time to do it all.
How I wish I was a stay-at-home mom again. It would be nice to have a clean house everyday again.

Better Late Than Never

Alyssa was pretending the bathtub was her stage and was practicing her "Jingle Jam" song before school.

If you can't tell she is singing "I Want a Hippopotumus for Christmas"
Of course Micah didn't want to be left out. So, once Alyssa hopped down from the tub, Micah jumped up and started singing too.

I'm not sure, but I think Micah is trying to sing Jingle Bells.

Micah-Doodle


Today Micah learned how to wink! She has also become VERY independent. Everytime I try to help her put on her footie jammies I get yelled at, "No! I can do it!"

Oh That Darn Wii!

So here I am just sitting up waiting for Zachary to finish playing some WWE game on the Wii, when I thought about some of my favorite things that I want to share.

I know that I go on about how I love coupons. Alyssa even knows. Every time I say I have a coupon or even mention coupons, she tells whoever else is with us that her mommy loves coupons. I think that everyone should know about how to use them effectively to save as much money as possible. I was introduced to sheshopssmart.blogspot.com by my co-worker Dusty, and I am so grateful to her for telling me about the site and how to get started with the coupons. Even though Zachary doesn't think so, I know I have saved us tons of money and built up our food storage.

BeautiControl is kind of like Mary Kay, only a bit different. One of my highschool friends Janalynn had a party at her house and I really didn't know what to expect. They did hand treatments, facials, lip exfoliations, and foot detox treatments. I loved it. It made my hands, face, and feet so soft. I got the Skinlogics Acne line, since I am constantly battling acne rrrrrr, and I love it. Pretty much the same stuff as Mary Kay only it works much better (sorry mom). If you live in Utah you should definatly book a party, I did. Even though the treatments are wonderful, I think the parties can be more organized. At a Mary Kay party everyone has their own tray with their own facial stuff on it so that everyone can all do it together. Instead at the BeautiContol parties I have been to it's a one person at a time thing. That is the only thing that I think is a downside to BeautiControl.

I love the Shaytards! They are my favorite thing to watch on YouTube. Sometimes it's boring, but for the most part this family is crazy funny. Micah loves Babytard. Everytime she sees me on the computer, even if I'm not watching Shaytards, she says, "Wanna watch Babytard." Oh boy and once she sees Babytard she gets excited and says, "That's Babytard!" Zachary is the one who told me to first watch them. Just completely out of nowhere while he was at airborne school he texts me to look up shaytards on youtube. I really thought he might be crazy and if I looked it up it would be people acting retarded. IDK. It was a couple of days after that text that I actually looked it up, because Zachary was on the phone nagging me to check it out. He kept going on about how the little girls in it were like ours are in one of the videos, and they are. The two little girls were in their princess dresses watching Tinkerbell, just like ours do.

And This Is Where It All Begins


Let's start from the very beggining. Zachary and I met at Provo College. After a couple months of school we started dating. We were married July 8, 2006. Soon after that came our honeymoon baby Micah Mckell. We really didn't feel the need to wait long after we got married to have another child since Alyssa, my child from a previous relationship, had just turned 3. We didn't really want to have too much of an age gap. Thus began our little family!
