Thanksgiving Weekend!

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Utah to be with Nick's side of the family. We had such a great time! We got there on Wednesday and went to Nick's sister Stephanie's house first, from there we were able to go out on a little double date with Steph and John to the new Harry Potter movie (I was pretty excited to see it, but Nick wasn't too thrilled) Nick's parents watched Sophie and Mary (Stephanie and John's little girl) while we were out. It was so fun to watch Mary with Sophie, she would come up to her and say " Oh baby Sophie, she's so cute!" It was so cute to watch.

After the Movie we went to Nick's grandma's house and stayed the night. The next day we were able to just hang out and have fun with the family. It was so nice to always have somebody there to hold Sophie. She has been a little spoiled with getting held, and now she thinks that she always has to have someone holding her. Its ok tho because I really like holding her. ;)

Friday morning, well actually it was more like Thursday night, Nick went to Walmart for the big black Friday sales. He really wanted a new TV. The one we have now is from like 1970 and its an oak panelled one that is too old for the TV remote to work on it, so you could see why Nick thinks its time for a new one. :) Anyways... he went around midnight and decided that since the sale on the TV wasnt until 5am that he would come home and sleep for a couple hours and then go back. So that is what he did. He woke up at 3:30am and went back to walmart and got his new TV. So now we have a new tv and nowhere in our house to put it. I told him it was our Chirstmas present and that we couldnt open it until then, but he said that he really really had to watch the Boise State game on it and thats why he wanted it in the first place. So... we opened it... basically im a push over!

Anyways tho, we had a really nice weekend. We were able to be  with my side of the family friday night and that was fun. Unfortunately Sophie is sick now. Its very sad, but she is a tough little girl so she will be ok. :)

 Nick was so tired after waking up early and so him and Sophie took a little nap together.

This is my cousin, and best friend, Tina with her cute little boy Caleb and Sophie. We were watching all the guys play basket ball.

This is just a cute picture of Sophie!

She was so sick and was just cuddling up with me. It was cute, but sad. her poor little nose is so stuffed and she has a little cough.

I love when nick gets breaks from school because I love having him home with Sophie and me, and not having to worry about him stressing about school and tests, and this year he started his Thanksgiving break a little early. His last day of school was Thursday and then he gets the whole week of Thanksgiving off.

      So he has decided to celebrate by going duck hunting and making pies, very opposite and random things! But I sure like the pie making idea, the duck hunting is another story. 

Anyways... Nick and his brother Jono went duck hunting near blackfoot on Saturday morning and they were able to shoot down a goose, which I think they were pretty excited about. Lucky for me, Jono took the goose. ;)

This is Nick and Jono with their goose!

Nick and his very first apple pie! It was delicious! 

My broken arms!

So as many of you know, I broke both of my arms in a motorcycle accident with Nick. It really has been quite the experience, especially with a brand new baby. Its been pretty challenging but i know that i have actually learned a lot from the whole experience. I am so glad that we have such great families that have been so so helpful. We couldn't have made it through this without them. This first picture here is of me right after i got my CT scan, the day after the accident. I know, I know, everyone is super jealous of how good I look here. haha

This is how I held Sophie with my broken arms. Basically she just would lay on my chest, so I actually wasn't using my arms. I could only do it if she was sleeping because otherwise she was too wiggly and I couldn't catch her if she started to fall. It was very sad.

Another really good looking picture of me, right after surgery. I was soo out of it. This little spot on my parents couch became my home for about a week. :)

Sophie and Mom

So I figured out that its my computer that is dumb and wont let me post pictures... so im using my parents computer. The only problem is that by doing it at their house i can only use the pictures that they have. :( Thats ok tho, its better than nothing at all.

First Post.

Ok so I have really been wanting to start a blog, but every time I have tried it seems like I just end up not being able to do it. I'm a little bit slow with these kinds of things, but this time I'm really determined, and I think I have it figured out. I guess we will see right? Maybe it's because this time I actually have a lot of extra time on my hands seeing as how I'm not able to do a lot of things right now ( for those of you who don't know, I broke both of my elbows recently, not fun!) But I can type on the computer. :) So here I am at 11:30 pm on a Tuesday night, starting a blog. I guess I am mostly just doing this for me and our families, but mostly for me haha, because if i didnt figure out something to do soon, I think I might go crazy! Plus it's always fun to look back at things that are going on in your life at certain times, and remeber. So, even if nobody else enjoys this, I know I will, and that's all that matters, right!?
