No baby. Dr. says that everything appears to be just fine, though. I have an ultrasound on Monday to make sure that my (occassional) lower abdonmen pains aren't anything to be concerned of. Took a thyroid test and will have those results and my 'any infections test' results back by end of next week. I will be taking some regular ovulation tests through the rest of the year to make sure that that is still happening as it should be. She also recommended that since I was on the border of diabetes in my last pregnancy, and since I have gained 20 lbs since then (yes, I just said that out loud) that I need to exercise 3 days a week which will also help my chances of becoming preggo and will help my moodiness. I feel better but still not so great-it's never fun getting a negative. Hopefully I can stop stressing so much. Who knows.....maybe I will be able to announce some good baby news on Christmas!

My new venture!
Hello everyone!!!
I am branching out from my calendars and Scrap-Plaques to add a few different things to my list of crafted items and I need help deciding on a name! Since I won't only be doing stuff that involves Scrappin, I need to change it up!
I will now also be making aprons and baby burp cloths, crocheted beanie hats (if I can get the hang of it!), purses and possibly some baby wipe box covers and car seat blanket covers. So take a vote on the poll to the right and let me know what you think!! If you have other suggestions, please tell, I would love to hear them! thanks for your input!
XOXO

Magic marker on the wall....
This little bug decided to show off his artistic skills! ALL OVER MY WALLS! 9 walls to be exact! Plus a white counter, 2 picture frames, my tile floor, Matthew's desk and Matthew's computer monitor. Boy was he lucky that I found a fabulous website with idea's on how to remove permanent marker! I used toothpaste on his little hands and cheeks and the tile. Then Matthew used spray-on sunscreen to get it off of the picture frames, his desk, and luckily...his monitor! Phew! I just can't seem to get it off of my painted walls. I'm going to try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser but if that doesn't work, I'll be doing a lot of painting touch-ups in 3 different colors! Boy he's lucky he's cute!!***

Date Night!
I can't even remember the last time Matthew and I went on a date night with just the two of us. We were definitely due for one so Uncle Mitchell (Mishol to Jase) came to play and Matthew and I were free for the night! We went to TGIFriday's for dinner. I never used to like that place but i have found something on their menu that I love so I don't mind it so much anymore! Then we went and saw Law Abiding Citizen. It is SUCH a good show! There are a few things in there I wish I hadn't have seen but other than that-loved it! After the movie, I told Matthew that I expect nothing less of him if what happened in the film were to ever happen to me. He said "absolutely". Awe! Such love! haha Then we went and got Baskin Robbins and brought some home for Mitchell which he so kindly shared with his buddy Jasers. When he was getting ready to leave, Jase threw his arms around Mitch's neck and held on for dear life! He was crying when we took him out of his arms and screamed when he walked out the door. Mishol! Mishol! It was so sad but so cute! Thanks for hanging out with Jase while we had a night out Mitchykins! Love ya!

Blanda Halloween Party & Halloween Night!
Every year, our great friends, the Blanda's, have a fantastic Halloween party and everyone comes in the best costumes! Matthew and I never hang out with each other at these things b/c he is always here and I'm always there and we are just constantly moving! Matthew was upstairs most the night but I was downstairs playing pool! I like taking pics of myself with everyone-that's why most of these are of me :)
On Halloween, we went to Kim's house with my parents. We had chili, rolls and salad for dinner. We all went Trick or Treating with the kids, with the exception of my mom as she didn't feel good (she stayed at the house and passed out the treats). Jase went treating last year but and had a lot of fun but I would have to say that this was my favorite Halloween ever! His little legs were running so fast to keep up with Zach (a 'bot' as Jase calls Transformers) and Aubrey (a fairy). It was like he remembered what they did last year and knew exactly what to do! He would run right up to the front door of the houses and would wait there until the people would open their doors and then he would turn around and run down the steps! HWe had to help him a few times and tell him that he needed to wait for his candy! He just didn't want the kids to leave without him! He said 'dates' (thanks) a few times and would even say 'suze-me' (excuse me) when he was trying to get past the crowds of kids. Towards the end, we would carry him from house to house but he would run up the driveway to the doors. He eventually pulled out a sucker and then wasn't too interrested in treating anymore. After we got back to the house, we ate our pumpkin pie (mmmmm) and played Beatles rock band!
Thanks for all the Halloween fun everyone!!
