I'm trying to get 50 free Christmas Cards from Shutterfly. I used them for Ashby's blessing announcements and LOVED them!!!

Ashby's 1 month old (5 wks, but close enough)

Ashby was 5 weeks old this past Friday, I took her to the Dr. on Tuesday (1 month appointment) she has grown a ton!! She weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches long (since she started out at 5 lbs. 11 oz. and came home at 5 lbs. 3 oz. she has grown tons!! She is doing so good!! She has good nights and bad nights, her best has been going 5 hours between feedings at night (she has done this a few times) I love these nights!! Hoping we have many many more just like them!!

Cute Pics!!

Here's a few cute pics!

The proud big brother!! He adores his baby sister... He is however already talking about getting a baby brother already.... I need a while before we go there!!

Our handsome boy!!

I just took this picture, isn't she beautiful!!

2 years!

So we've been married for 2 years (and a few days).. Just wanted to tell my hubby how much I love him and how lucky I feel to be married to him. Thank you honey for giving me our precious little girl, I love to see you with her and how she turns you into a teddy bear! Here are a few pics -- one of you with our little girl and a few from the wedding... I wish I had more time to make this post better but well, our sweet girl is calling so mommy's gotta run..

Ashby Lynn Hull born 8/6/2010!!!!!

Our sweet little Ashby was born on 8/6/2010 weighing in at a mighty 5 lbs. 11 oz. 18.5 inches long... Yep she's tiny, and as cute as can be. I'm not going to go into all the details right now, just know that everything went well.

Things only said by PJ..

I know it has been forever and I really am terrible but I have to post a few things PJ has said lately that I have found completely hilarious!! The other day a commercial came on for one of those scooter things for old people.. so I asked PJ if he thinks we should get one, he replies yes.. to which I reply but they are really more for just old people.. his reply: " Well Grandma Gloria is old.." to which I say "Well they really are for people who can't walk very well.." his reply: "Grandma Gloria doesn't walk very well either.." I cracked up .. Grandma Gloria isn't extremly old and she can walk just fine.. but I guess in his eyes she is old and unable to walk well.. This past weekend I took PJ with me to take Josh some food while at work as we are driving along PJ says " I think Ashby is going to be like you" I ask what he means and he says "I think she'll be light" I say "like her skin will be light?" and he says "Yes, I think she'll be light like you not brown like me.." I ask him why he thinks this and he says "Well, because she is in your tummy.." he has told me this multiple times since then.. he is just too funny!!

I know I'm terrible!!!

So I feel like such a slacker!! I really do want to blog more and stuff, but I seriously don't have the energy to even think about it usually.. I feel lucky if I'm able to get the laundry done.. Our sweet little Ashby is growing and moving tons!! I think she is seriously practicing for some kind of dance or gymnastics! I love it though, it is very comforting to know she is in there and doing well! Other exciting news is that I'm going to be receiving my endowments soon, we're thinking June 12th!! I can hardly wait!! We've got the process started and all we need now is approval from the 1st presidency and then we can be sealed! I hope and pray we can do it before Ashby is here, but the important thing is that we've got the process going!! Sorry no pics this time, but I'll work on it :O)

What is it?????

So yesterday was a GreAt dAy!! We had our ultrasound!! Before I go into what it is I have to get some feelings I've had throughout this pregnancy out. About a year ago I had a miscarriage, it was the hardest thing I've ever gone through, I completely had given up on actually having kids, decided I wasn't good enough or that something just must be wrong with me.. Anyway, when we found out we were pregnant this time, I didn't want to tell a soul.. In all honesty I didn't even want to tell Josh.. but seeing as he is here and very aware of me and how I feel, there wasn't a chance I could keep it from him. He seriously had to talk me in to telling anyone, I could have waited until there was no way for me to deny it because it just scared me to have to go through the whole telling people and then losing the baby, and I didn't want to do that At aLl!! If you don't understand why, that's totally fine, I'll try to explain.... for me it was a very personal thing that I really didn't want to get any attention about (I don't like people to see me hurting or in pain).. As time went on those that did know about the miscarriage (which weren't many) would talk to me, and it did help to deal with that loss. But still I didn't want to share our news this time.. Even hearing the heartbeat at the Doctor's office didn't put me at ease.. And even yesterday at the ultrasound I questioned if the baby is really in there.. (I'm very warped I know) all night I kept thinking well maybe it was just a video of another ultrasound that I was seeing and they really didn't see anything... (I know nuts!!!) I wouldn't even let PJ know up until yesterday that we were expecting (just the fear of losing it and not wanting him to have to experience that)... Anyway you're all probably thinking I am totally nuts, and that's ok.. I think that most the time :o) I know this post is all over the place but if you really know me then you know this is pretty much how I talk... so hopefully you've been able to follow everything I've said. Now for some happy thoughts :) When Josh and I started talking about starting a family and praying about it we both felt like there was a little one just waiting for us (we both had a feeling it was a little girl) so when we found out we were pregnant this time Josh just knew that it was a girl (I however didn't allow any feelings one way or the other-- miscarriage fears and me just believing that there really wasn't anything in there) everyone has been saying it is a girl (and I mean everyone.. even people that don't really know me.. ) so yesterday at the ultrasound all I kept wanting to know is if the baby was healthy and what was it! Well after laying there forever looking at every other part of the baby (and I mean every other part) we finally were told that it is a GiRl!!!! We are sooo excited (if I'll just believe that it's really in there... right)!!! Pj actually starting crying when we told him he was going to have a baby sister, he was like but I want a baby brother I want a boy.. it was pretty sad :o) but after explaining to him that Heavenly Father decided that we were supposed to have a baby girl and that with a girl he wouldn't have to share everything of his.. (little does he know about little sisters they will want to play with ALL your toys..) he was very excited!! He was like we need to go to Walmart right now and get her a toy, so we did :) he picked out a little baby for the baby. Very cute!! And he is very happy now (so that helps!!) Our little one already has a name picked for her (unless she comes out looking like it won't fit her at all.. but I'm doubting that) her name is Ashby Lynn Hull. Well I'm sure you are tired of reading this novel, so I'll say goodebye for now.

Big update.. Halloween till now..

I kept trying to get him to just smile for me but he had to have the guns and he had to be holding them like this.. once has something in his mind that is how it is.. it's very difficult to get him to do anything but that.. He's a cutie anyway :)

I know it has been forever.. I apologize, I have been so sick! If you haven't heard we are expecting!! I'm at almost 13 weeks, and am starting to have moments of feeling a little more human. What with the thyroid issues and the bacterial infections that I've had I've felt like I have had the energy of a rock.. So that is my excuse for not updating. We should pretty much be up to date after this one.. (I think)

Christmas!!

We went to a Christmas party with my family in Gunnison, it was so much fun, I love being with family! We didn't celebrate Christmas at our house until about 3:00 on Christmas day (We didn't get Pj until then..) so we just slept in and enjoyed that. I was feeling very sick by this point.. so the sleep was wonderful! Christmas was so much fun, we can't wait until we have a little baby to share it with next year!

I'm going to be a big brother picture!! I know probably crazy that I had PJ holding the pee stick, he had no clue what he was holding.. he actually thought it was a sword and kept wanting to pull the cap off.. I had to be quick to take the picture and grap it from him before he pulled it off :) We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little one! We feel so blessed!

Pj's Birthday!!

Pj turned 4 this year!! We had a party for him at our house. Dionne, Dave, Liv, Dawson, Tessa and Grandma Gloria came to celebrate! Thanks everyone for coming! It was fun!!

Halloween 2009

We had Pj this year and went to Gunnison for Halloween, it was so much fun! Pj was Darth Vader (for some reason he usually likes the bad guys..) Pj made Grandma Della pose with him :) Pj & Kyler are unseperable whenever we visit! They usually both end up sleeping over at Grandma's house! They are just sooo cute together!! PJ turned 4 this year!! We had a party for him at our house, Dionne, Dave, Liv, Dawson, Tessa and Grandma Gloria came to celebrate!!

I know I'm terrible!!

I know I'm terrible.. months and months and no updating! And to be honest I really don't feel like updating right now.. I'd much rather be climbing into bed and just sleeping.. Things are good though, just busy and we found out this week that my thyroid is low (so they've started me on medicine for this) which causes the lack of energy.. and I also have some kind of bacteria so I am also on medicine for this.. so hopefully with all these medicines I'll start to feel less like a zombie and more like a human.. but I'm not promising anything. We are loving our new home! We had Pj's birthday in November which was fun (I'll post pics later of that I promise). We had my whole family and Josh's mom here for Thanksgiving which was SO fun! And then we just had a quiet Christmas at home.. I missed my family soooo much!! I can't wait to get down to Gunnison to see them all again! Anyway, for now this will have to do for an update. I promise to try to be better and post more later.
