It's so funny to me to post this, but I am anyways...I just framed a picture of my baby's "bottom". Anyways...the others don't prove that the child is even human. From every picture it looks like it will be a visit from an extra terestrial. Not a very good utra sound, but it was clear and eveident that IT'S A BOY. Cody and Maxwell are every excited to hear the news... Cody had fun as the tech pointed out toes, head, heart, spine and Peeper.(thats what we call it). My boys are ALL boy and I love every minute of it. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of this precious little gift from God.Friday, October 31, 2008

What 'Twilight' character are you?
Alice!
You try to make yourself and others happy. You always find a way to get what you want. Caring for others is your major duty, and you do it without complaining. You have real grace with everything you do, and people fall for you easily. You make a great caretaker and friend to those you feel the need to.

Personalized Shields
You have NO idea how long it took to get the streamers up and I would say it took 1/5748497062th of the time to take them down
We had a mid evil feast with Chicken legs, Grapes, Cheese squares, Rolls and Juice
The Pinata was filled with coins with numbers and they got to come and buy a prize with the coin. WAY better than candy!

I have to say that this was the most fun thing I have ever done! ( Seeing Cody at disneyland is a close close second...) My mother (Bless her!!) took 11 days off and flew up to seattle from Utah to stay with my boys! (they want her to come back by the way!) We couldn't have done it with out her!! I hope she can pencil us in for a bit each year!
We did everything I could have imagined and more! The food WAS great, Everyone has asked about that...but I'm more into the unlimited ice cream, sweet land tours, late night shows and the friends that we made than the food! But If the food was excellent and all the other things were better than the food you can Imagine what a great time we had!!
We miss Dan and Melissa already!! We were lucky to meet some new friends and had a great time with them.
Bryant is incredible and made sure this was the most amazing experiance ever! He surprised me and doted on me and I felt like a queen the entire time!

Bryant and I got a pleasant surprise yeasterday when we registered online for our cruise through the official website. We found out our room assignment. We booked it with the belief that we wouldn't find out our cabin room until we got there, since I intend on being in the sun as much as possible who care what room you have right? With an Ice skating rink, a mini golf course and an Itinerary like we have, why would we even want to go back to our cabin... Well we were assigned already and we got a top floor handicap room just around the corner from the Grand suite...the thing has a baby grand piano in it. I'm assuming that they probley wouldn't put the most expensive suite on a crappy floor so we are pretty excited!! And having a handicap room mean more space.... We are trying to talk about other things at this house but we are so dang excited that we can hardly sleep .
The Boys Got Hair Cuts!!




mirror as the transformation occurs as I put gel in his hair, and so does maxwell. He doesn't even touch it afterwards. Maxwell's is a mohawk and Cody's is a spike up. Cody's picture isn't the best hair shot but that smile was irrisistable! I'll post a better one of Cody's hair later.
Today is School pictures for cody. So as soon as I leave here I will be choosing the shirt that will be documented for years to come. I hadn't realy thought about this before but...am I going to buy pictures from school? I take so many of Him already about every 6-9 months I take a real photo shoot. So I'm debating whether or not to spend the extra funds for "pro" photos :)

General Conferance, as expected, hightened my desire to be more Christ-like, Recommit to being in tunned with the teachings of the gospel and has given me strength in myendevors to be kinder and more loving. I will strive to serve more selflessly and learn more from the lessons of those people and teaching around me.
James L Ferrell Wrote an excellent book that I love. The Peacegiver. I have readit a few times and it has always made it more clear in my mind my purpose here and how to become more like the Savior and live my life more in harmony with the true teachings of Christ's Church. I saw advertised a new book of his "The Holy Secret" and new that I had to get it, it was a weird feeling. I went to the bookstore yeasterday after conferance and picked it up not even looking at the price. Bryant and I picked it up tonight and he agreed to read with me... we'll see how that works. We read the intro-chapter 3 tonight. It's great. I love the way he speaks in his books... get it it's only 200 pages...a quick read for most.
I'd love to hear how you are enjoing it!! I would love to be in a book club and discuss books like this so if you do want to read lets talk about it...
In addition to this I'm reading Drawing on the Powers of Heaven!!! Fabulous book! I would recommend this to anyone seaking to increase thier connection with the Lord and recieve a more constant companionship of the Holy Ghost.

It's a weird feeling when your car get stolen!
It's pretty creepy when your car get's broken into also!
We wike up this morning to our car window smashed in and our GPS gone...we'll investigate further any other missing items but I've been sitting here helpless as my insurance company is a bunch of hosers and no auto glass stores are open to call and get quotes... Of course our incident falls under 2 different insurance policies therefore not even meeting the cost of both deductables. The stole GPS falls under homeowners and the window falls under auto insurance... I'm extreemly sad right now...lets see what you you rather do with $800? Let me know maybe that will cheer me up!!

Easter
Paradise...
With my entire home well on it's way to organizational bliss, here are shots of the Loft: my office, workspace, design center. Here We just installed these new upper cupboards. I haven't added all the design elements that I would like but the beautiful capacity to have a place for everything and everything in their place brings equisite joy to me with each pass through. I have installed extra space to the pantry, 3 closests and the Laundry area. it's pretty amazing. for lack of time to blog about it all now here is the LOFT:

...And I've had the time of my Liiiiiffffe...and I've never felt this way before....ok so it wasn't realy like that...but it was very fun...hey baby... sorry I'm just in the "mood"
Bryant and I just started ballroom dancing... it was so fun. The studio is super nice the people there are great we actually meet I think every dancer there. It's like one big family with the instructors. Bryant and I found that we do NOT have 2 left feet but we have a little work to do and alot to learn. Bryant took me around the floor in some simple dances tonight we had the intro cha cha, but did some other simple waltz's,tango, and salsa. We saw some great numbers preformed by students and instructors, it was really great!! We go back next week! We went with the Deslers some friends from our ward. We are SO glad that we didn't have to just walk in on our own, they made it so great!!
I'll post more of our dirty dancing escapades as they come...:) Cha Cha!!

Maxwell celebrated his 1st birthday December 28th.

Maxwell is a JOY!! Here are a few fun birthday shots!
We celebrated Maxwells Birthday at Grandma and Grandpa Labrums house.

Gingerbread Infestation

Bryants gingerbread tree ( He had alot of help from his creative cohorts)
This is my Wonderland masterpeice :) It was realy fun todo and much simpler than I thought. It did take a few days to complete but I just had it done and sitting on the counter and added fence peices here and there. I love Doing these and this one was great. I did learn alot since my past ones have been on a smaller scale... but I will try and do another next year!


A get together to decorate gingerbread houses. I basicly did mine all at home and the drive to and from the tyler's house was just to add stress to my life... it's so hard to come by these days I have to look for ways to add it (but luckily it only almost shattered 1 time) :) It was fun to be together at Christmas. Next year Messa ( the town homes) and I will have to do our own party and they can decorate with all the candy we have left over... I swear I could do 5 more houses with the candy I have. oh well... till next year!
