What a crazy life this is :) Its so awesome though, full of surprises, good and bad. My little boy has not stopped moving and kicking me since about a week ago, normally he would only go crazy certain times of the day and now its all day long and all night long it seems, I love it so much, sometimes when im working I want to tell him to settle down a lotta bit :) Its great though, I cant wait for him to get here so I can hold him and kiss him! Athena is starting to show :) We get to take her in for anther ultrasound next month to see how many she is expecting :) Im hoping for octuplets (or whatever they are called) I want 8-9.... I think.
Dave got officially accepted as a paid employee and Ada County Sheriff, but he now just has to wait for a position, it could be next week or in 2 months.. its a surprise. He is still doing his intern their too! If they pull a paid position for him he will have to go to like 6 weeks of training and then go to 6 weeks of POST. So that's awesome! It will be a great experience except... He will be gone Mon-Fri and home on weekends only :( Oh, I hate to sleep alone! AND it will be over the time I will be having a baby... Scary thought.
Im having a hard time sharing my home with 'Z'. But soon that will be over and it will be just Dave, Athena, Baby, and I. I can not wait, literally ;)
Our good friend Nick has been dating this girl that he met while he was at BYU-I and she just got here last night and is staying with us until Tuesday. I have not spent much time with her yet but I think I might love her, they seem so good for each other :) Nick is always so happy when he talks about her, and he talks about her all the time. Its so cute I have never seen him act like this so im hoping for a wedding hahahah :)
For Fathers Day I figured it could count as Dave's first sooo I bought him a pair of black Nike Shox and a matching baby pair of black Nike Shox. He LOVED IT! He loved it more than I thought :)
Dave and I both have callings now.. I will have to discuss that another time :)
We met with the bishop, and the stake pres. and we are going through the temple to have our endowments taken out on the 30th of June, and we will be getting sealed on the 5th of July. I cant wait, we have waited a long time and now its here, and we have recommends and were going garment shopping (That will be a hard one for me I think).
I cant wait for Daves sisters to get here from OKC :) I miss them! Then i get a baby shower while they are here so that will be sooo fun, im HUGE so it wont be weird to have one so early I dont think. I am getting very anxious for the 4th of July, its (one of my ) most favorite holidays :) I love how it brings everyone so close, in one place, and its hot, and there is always the BEST food, and then :) snuggle time to watch some fire works! So awesome! This is such an amazing country we live in! We have so much to be grateful for!
That is the end of my wonderful blogging post.. interesting I know :)

Don't Complain..
1-2 weeks ago I was sitting in church and I said to David- " WOW! I hate the way these programs are laid out. I dont like anything about them!" And he said "well, Maybe you should make them!" and I said "HA! yeah right!" Well this last Sunday the bishop wanted to see me and David was like your getting a calling haha and I said I doubt it David or we both would..... Well that's exactly what happened. I got a calling. Im the ward bulletin person. Awesome. Its defiantly a job people over look in the church I think, But im nervous as heck about it! It makes me grateful that on that Sunday that I was complaining that I was not complaining about something like Primary president or RS counselor or Gospel Doctrine teacher :) The lord hears us and I know sometimes he needs a good laugh, and I think this must have been his good laugh of the day, to punish me for complaining.
Im excited to do it though :) It will keep me extra busy during the week, cause being pregnant, having a hyper pregnant dog, a super handsome needy husband, and working 6 days a week doesnt keep me busy enough :)
Recently my parents made a visit to the coast. They took their Great Dane and I was soooo jealous cause I was not invited ;). While my dad was there this lady was telling him that her sister in law had a Great Dane once, and while her sister in law was pregnant she was home alone with the dog. She was tired and went upstairs to her room to take a nap. When she got upstairs the dog was standing in front of her bed room door growling at her. He would NOT let her in and she was like what is wrong with you?! So she went back down stairs to take a nap on the couch. When she woke up hours later, she went back up stairs to go into her bed room but the dog was still standing in front of her door, but this time he was going crazy! He was jumping at her and barking and growling. She thought what is the matter with this dog?! He's part of my family!! Than out loud she said ' Is somebody in there?!' and a mans voice returned her and said 'YES! Can you just please call the police!?' hahahha :) a bad story turned good. So she said 'ughhh... yeah it will be a minute just take a seat' :) I love this. Athena is such a great pet, all great danes are, and really dogs are in general. I know she would protect me if someone were to enter our house uninvited. This great dane probably saved this pregnant ladies life!! These dogs were originally bred to be aggressive hunters, and they can be extremely mean. My moms is slightly aggressive, and is not good around other animals or people unless my mom is there to control him. It can be scary at times but i love that old grandpa of a dog no matter if he is a jerk :) I just thought that was the best story in the WHOLE WORLD!!! :)
So I LOVE my new job sooo much! I know I have mentioned this before but its really the best place for me to work,e specially while im pregnant. Its so great to know that everyone that I work with plays such in important part in helping people live normal lives. I have met some really scary, and some really interesting people. We had an 8ish year old client miss her session the other day and, yes, it frustrates us when people 'no-show'. Her mother called later that week and said 'sorry she missed her session she got her toes cut off by the lawn mower'. This is almost funny, but so sad cause it will forever change her life, and what the heck?! who thought it was a good idea to let her be under the lawn mower while they were mowing ;( Weird stuff happens to people.
A couple months ago I got to assist in a wreck. and im sure I have shared this story before but it was so great to be there and get hands on and help before officials arrived. I love to help people, it really makes you feel needed and important. Maybe I havent saved anyones life but I feel like its been pretty close :)
In a couple weeks my wonderful family from Oklahoma is coming and so we are going to have a little family baby shower since they wont be here for the actual shower. Im so excited to see them and all get together! It will be so fun! and anything that has to do with little baby cole makes me soooo happy :)
Im so happy that this warm weather is finally here! I cant wait to go camping, Dave and I have this beautiful camping spot in Norther Idaho at Black Lake, we cant wait to go back!! But Athena is due around July 24th... and I dont want to deliver babies in the mountains :)
That is all for today :)

Some Random (Good) Stories in Our Recent Lives..
A few days ago I ran into some people I went to highschool with, They are sister and brother and both older than me. I was not friends with the sister, actually we hated eacother for some reason? and I was 'friends when its convenient for both of us' friends with her brother.
They were both so excited to see me and tell me what they are up to and wanted to know what I was up to. My first thought was 'ughhhh I have things to do I dont want to talk' But I chatted with them for a bit. :). The sister said 'oh your pregnant!?' and I said 'yeah' hahah and she said 'what about the baby daddy are you guys together?' and I was so confused for a second like where else would he be?, and IDK why my thoughts were in 'miss innocenct' mode but they were :) and then i realized she was asking if I was dating the babys father, and I was like wow, what else would I be doing with him? So I said 'yeah were married.., been married for a year and a half' and they thought that was so cool, like oh you fell in love than got pregnant, not got pregnant so you tried to fall in love. My first thought was who did you think I owned a house with my parents?
Im not anti-people who have babies with out being married. Its whatever. I have not say on it whatsoever. My best friend in the whole world has 2 babies and she has never been married. But I have never met a more fun person who is so loving, caring and so strong. She takes such good care of her little babes, they have everything they need (physically, anyway). She is probably reading this so I wont say to many more mean things about her ;).
The other day I had to work at Wingers, I only do this 1-2 times a week since im at the counseling center everyother day. anyway, I had a young guy (my age?) sitting at my table and he was so excited to ask me how far along I was :) My first thought was in this baggy work shirt I look like I have a food baby, not a real baby so how did he know? :) and I told him and his Mother all about it, and they were so sweet and excited about it!! They said even when you get bigger you will be all belly still and I was like 'Wheeewwww!!! I really hope so', than I started thinking about these wonderful love handles i have that I was born with and no matter what they have always been there, my junior year in high school, when I weighed the least ever I still had love handles, and my body was a rock hahaha So the point is these love handles are not going anywhere ever. and I feel like they make my baby belly look like its more fat than baby, im starting to lose my belly button though! and my stomach is hard , even though its big :) its a cool thing to experience. Sometimes I will have like a weird thought where I look at myself as just fat, and it makes me so sad :( but than I have to remember its not fat at all, its a baby. A giant huge bellly was always something I looked forward to but now that its here sometimes im like cant I just have the kid without the belly and other side effects? But thats not how it works, and Im glad I get to grow my baby inside my own belly and feel him growing like a weed even if it hurts me alot :) This wonderful little man unfortunately has his daddys appetite and only wants me to eat sandwiches and ramen noodles, if I eat something else NOPE im sicker than a dog.
Our driveway is like the hangout place for the neighbor kids. They love Dave and I and when we are outside in the front we have to race inside so the kids dont come hahaha Sometimes its fun to have them bug us and other times im like just go to your own house! When we first moved in and I saw all these kids I thought wow Im glad we dont have kids cause I dont want the neighbor kids over here alll the time, well we stilll dont have a kid yet and they are over all the time anyways!
Last night while Dave was in the garage working he had the garage door open. I was cooking dinner but I was going to go out and talk to him while he was working, after I was at a good stopping place. So I went to open the door to go into the garage and I heard kids in there with him so I shut the door all except for about 1.5 inches and I just listened :) Dave is so good with kids. These specific kids that were over live across the road and 2 houses down, so it takes them about 3 seconds to walk between our houses. They were telling David about all these great movies he needed to buy, like 'Tangled" and "Megamind" than the little girl must have remember that she was watching a move before she came over to our house and she said 'OH! I need to go home and watch Megamind!' and Dave said 'ok' :) Than she said 'I need to go, could you drive me' hahahahahah I laughed so hard :) I thought by the time he gets the car out of the garage you could have walked and been home and watching it for at least 5 seconds. It was so cute :)
Well thats all the stories that I wanted to share. There is one more story I want to share but its drama :) and still in the process of closing. So maybe when its all over ill share it, and maybe not.
I can not wait to go camping next month with our friends!!
I cant wait to see my little baby :)
I cant wait to see Athenas little babies :)
AWwwww I have such an awesome life
Im getting my patriarchal blessing done, made an appointment with the patriarch and got my recommend :)
We bought our first box of baby diapers, they are checkered all over and colorful! They are so adorable.
We have a bassinet
we have a CRIB!!!
We have quite a few baby outfits :)
and its just so exciting! I cant wait to get started on his room!!

Our baby BOY!
Yesterday we went to a specialist to have our 20wk ultrasound, the reason we went to a specialist is because our wonderful doctor sends all of her patients to a specialist for this ultrasound just to make double sure everything is perfect.
We found out were having a boy =] Im so happy, I didnt really have a preference on a boy or girl, I want 8ish kids so I know ill have both =]
The doctor that was performing the Ultrasound kept paying an awful lot of attention to where the umbilical cord was attached to my placenta. This worried David a little bit, and he knew something was....'off'. This portion of my ultrasound lasted close to an hour, than she said im going to get another person to come in and look at your baby, and smiled and left. So another doctor came in to look at our baby, and this confused me. She didnt look at our whole baby, she went straight to the umbilical cord attachment and she didnt look at anything else. She informed us that the umbilical cord is attached to the side of the placenta and everything looks great right now but I have to come back in a couple more weeks to have another ultrasound to make sure everything is still fine and that he is growing ok. They didnt say a lot about it and I feel like they didnt just to make me not worry, but I am. I want my baby to be perfect and healthy. This cord placement has cause 23wk gestation miscarriages(not that it only happens in the 23rd week but this was just one example I was using), early pre-mature labors, small babys, ect. Im have faith everything will go smoothly, im glad I have such wonderful doctors that take such good care of me =]
Our baby is so handsome and I cant wait until I get to hug him and kiss him :)
He moved so much yesterday, I cant wait until he is stronger so I cant feel him ALL the time!
I loved watching him move around so much, he had the hic-ups it was so cute!
Watching him swallow and move his little mouth was the most incredible thing! I love him sooo much already!!! :)
