Finally!

So it's official. We are finally expecting our first child! We have been trying for over seven years to get pregnant, and were making plans to go see a doctor to see if we could figure out what we needed to do to make it happen since it wasn't happening on it's own. Then, all of the sudden I felt that maybe I was pregnant and took two pregnancy tests which both immediately read positive. We found out just a few days before Christmas and it was sooooooo much fun giving presents to our parents and family members announcing the great news. We've only had one doctor's appointment, and all is going great and I am 11 weeks along. I have had a little nausea but overall have been feeling mostly pretty good.

Here are a couple video's of Mike's mom and my step mom reacting to the news.

All That I am....

All that I am or hope to be a learned from my Angel Mother.

Happy Mother's Day! Love ya and miss you.

Happy Birthday!

To a really special lady!

Love you!

Cruise

Thanks to David and Camille, we had a great opportunity to go with Mike's parents and siblings on a cruise. We had so much fun that we want to go on another one. I was scared that I was going to get sick because I get car sick, but I am happy to report that no one got sick at all. We flew into LAX on Monday and went to the ship that was docked in Long Beach. As we were getting off the plane David had a call from Matt that he had missed his flight. We were all a little scared that he wasn't going to make it. He luckily got on a new flight and was able to get a taxi to bring him to the port in time. Once everyone was on the boat we all hung out and waited for the boat to be on its way. We had a late dinner time of 8:15 which was 10:15 Texas time. The food was worth staying up and eating. After dinner we just hung out. Here are some picture of us on the first night on the ship.

Day Two we were in Catalina Island. We had to take a little boat to the island. Once on the island we walked around and looked at the little shops and Mike, Matt and I put our feet in the water but it was pretty cold so we decided going back on the boat and getting in the hot tub would be a better idea. Once we were done walking around we got back on a boat that took us back to the ship. We just hung out and walked around to see what the boat had to offer. We went to dinner and then hung out some more.

The sign says Warning the bacteria level may cause illness. No Swimming












Day three was spent in Ensenada Mexico. Went and saw a big blow hole and then spent some time walking around the shops and doing some more hanging out.


We got back from breakfast to find the person that cleaned our room put my sun glasses on our elephant.

In the water are two ship wrecks.

the picture of our view of Mexico from the ship you can see the flag in comparison to the city.

Here is all of our animals.
We made sure we didn't mess them up.









Hope we can go on another cruise again soon. I think that if you haven't ever gone on a cruise it is a must. Loved It!

Check it out!

Bass...

I have caught white fish and trout but now I can add bass to the list. All night I just kept getting my line caught in weeds and stuff so when I got the fish I just thought it was stuck again. All I remember was Mike saying that I had one and told me to keep reeling in. When it got close I couldn't believe that I really had one. I was shaking so bad out of excitement and couldn't stop smiling for the next 30 minutes. Mike got the hook out and he said I had it pretty good. I had gotten it in his lip and the bottom of his tongue. It weighed 2 pounds. I have some nice teeth marks in my thumb from holding him up. I still can't believe that I caught a bass!

Happy Mother's Day!!
