Miracles do happen.

I was crafty! Yes. Amazing. 2x in one month. I made some of those big flowers for Brooke! The best part is they all can clip on and off and I can interchange them from the beanies to headbands to just clipping them in her hair... or mine!

Fortuitous: (noun) unplanned, random.

I have a hodgepodge of pictures/videos and thoughts I wanted to post today.

First thought: The Sun was SHINING this morning! AWESOME! I haven't seen it in weeks. Too bad it is now snowing again.

Peter is a little music guru!


He asks to listen to Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean at least 5x a day. I am not kidding.

But he dances the best to this song...

He has skills right?

Second thought: Its been snowing alot here. Most of the time it doesn't stick, but we had a really bad storm last week that even got Byan's school cancelled! (Which NEVER happens) For 3 days. Of course since the weather was so bad and of course there could not be any ongoing education, they cancelled sporting events. Or not. (Why would they do that?)

He even made sure to take this picture for me to post. One word- BOYS.

Lunch with Nina, Jenny and Sarah. (from December!) I am sure Olive Garden loved us with all of our kids!

Next thought: Amber is amazing. She just had baby #3. This is taken maybe 3 hours after delivery. Not only did she look great, she has the cutest kids and the proudest big brother I have ever seen. Payton just wanted to hold her the whole time! Welcome to the world Baby Mia!

2 words- Monkey Mittens. They are Peter's favorite and therefore mine too! They are the only ones he will wear. Awesome.

Finally: Valentines day. Had to be one of the least eventful ones ever. I was sick. Fabulous. I mean REALLY sick. Couldn't even keep down oatmeal or crackers. We had a babysitter lined up, and we were SOOO excited to go out together. Oh well. That is life. Maybe marriage too. Gotta love it. I still love Bryan and am so glad we have now spent over 5 years of marriage together! Many more to come!

And the belly grows...

Week 34

Well, I am chuggin' along...my belly is so big I get stuck getting in and out of the car when its parked in the garage because the door can't open far enough to let me out!

I have some awesome friends here in Pittsburgh. Nicole hosted a baby shower for me on Monday night and I was so surprised so many girls venture out in the snow and ice to come hang out! (I guess that is what happens when you bribe someone with cookies!!!) It was a 'cookies and milk' shower with lots of friends and really, really cute pink girl presents! Thanks everyone I had a blast!

Shoveling in Shorts...

Seriously???!!! The thing is, this is so typical. I was surprised he thought to put on gloves and a coat. Last night he was out shoveling in a WINDBREAKER. And Sweats. No hat. No Gloves.

Bow Making

My first attempt at making girly things! Very fun and very easy... more to come soon!

I forgot #21. The library sees Bryan more than me.

Its been over 6 months since we moved to Pitt! I thought I would commemorate the end 2009 with a list of happenings since moving across the country.

1. I have been in my first car accident. (Which wasn't my fault)
2. I still think Metal Awnings instead of front porches are a very bad idea.
3. I can keep my house clean! It also really bugs me if it is a mess.
4. I have ran over 350 miles total since arriving in August.
5. I have become a stroller snob and now have 3 strollers.
6. I haven't bought 1 article of clothing for myself in Pitt. (Truly amazing) We won't discuss my trip back to AZ...
7. I still suck at remembering to read my scriptures every day.
8. My "need to do crafts" gene is still missing from my genetic make-up.
9. My "need to spend money" gene is still as strong as ever. I just don't have any to spend!
10. I have discovered that the "missing" crafty gene was overtaken by a combination of the "sports watching" and "running" gene.
11. I actually enjoy cooking .
12. I have only made chocolate chip cookies once. And they turned out gross.
13. I think that lopsided sidewalks are normal.
14. I can actually win card games. But only in PA. Back in AZ during Christmas break I was as sucky as ever.
15. Our car is still running. Miraculously. Sadly, the gas mileage has really gone downhill. (Its from driving uphill!) 13mpg.
16. I really, really have learned to love the sunshine.
17. I broke my nose. When a 4 year old accidentally hit his head on my nose. Ouch. That was during General Conference. It was still swollen a month later!
18. I am still Pregnant. But only 6 weeks to go!!!
19. Most recently, I showed up at the airport for my flight back to PA on the wrong day. Seriously. I am retarded. Luckily it was a day early and not a day late. But that is a story for another post.
20. I haven't drank any soda since June. But only 6 weeks left or so and we will be celebrating a new baby girl with a glass bottle of pure sugary goodness. Hopefully its a Coke imported from Mexico... I don't know if I am more excited for the baby or the Coke! (jk!)
