The morning of Thanksgiving Dave woke ip early to go hunting with a good friend leaving me home to make rolls and stuffed mushrooms while I kept Owen and hopefully got ready before he got home so we could go to dinner. I was fine with this I mean I had 7 hours to do it all before dinner :) Just so happens Owen wouldnt nap or let me put him down. After kneading the bread i put it in bowls to rise and 1 of the bowls was given to me a year before by Daves Granny Barb. Oh i miss that woman. it made me think of all the good times i had with her when i would go spend the day with her, just the two of us. It made me think of the night before she died when i spent the whole evening/afternoon at her house, getting her dinner, visiting, watching tv together and doing a few chores that she needed done. it was just a couple days after that i found out we were pregnant and my heart hurt so bad cause i knew Owen would have to wait a long time before meeting her. I miss that crazy woman, she was out of control and that is why we loved eachother so much :)
So at 12 when Dave got home I was just finishing pulling rolls from the oven, i had made stuffing mix but not stuffed the mushrooms, and owen and i were still in our jammies. Good thing Dave helped me pull it all together before we had to leave :) This was Owens first Thankgiving and itwas spent with just my side pf the family since Daves were out of town. As much as i like to think Owen loved his first thanksgiving. he didnt care. he slept the whole day almost. and he had no idea this thursday was more important than the last haha but i njoyed pretending he had the time of his life :)
I made some effing good clam chowder on Saturday with some home made rolls. yumm. Dave helped with dinner by making some yummmmyy dessert! We took dinner to the missionaries watched a couple movies and then...We then went and got our christmas tree!!!, we picked outthe perfect one! 6+feet tall, nice and thick. just. plain. beautiful. So we decorated it and it was awesome. Owen had the time of his life ;) Owen and i were up all night. so frustrating for both of us and really early this morning while i was rocking owen in the living room that perfect tree we got tipped over! it scared the heck out of me. I yelled for dave to come fix it. and then we got to looking at it and turns out our perfect tree is perfectly effing crooked. gosh dangit. unfixable crooked. still looks amazing though :) Ill post some pictures tomorrow.
Since Owen didnt sleep last night we spent 2.5 of 3 church hours in the car trying to sleep, than we got a wonderful 3 hour nap. 7-10 :) now its 11 and were off to bed :)
good night.

Bittersweet
No, i didnt really post twice in the same day, technically i did but i wrote that last one last week and just never published it :) So here is whats new this week-
My sweet boy rolled over!! He amazes me everyday, and every day makes me so proud! He is 6 weeks old today, he rode in his stroller for the first time yesterday, while we were shopping at the mall- let me tell you Zumiez was not made for strollers. I have been trying lots of new recipes lately and creating things and cooking in general a lot more. I made my own version of stuffed mushrooms the other day and they were sooo good so I made then again this morning :) and I am making more tomorrow for Thanksgiving, I also made TONS of fudge (my Gmas recipe) Its so good, Thats also for thanksgiving, I made it because it was demanded by my sister (and my visit teaching families needed some), I also am in charge of the rolls. I feel like I make homemade bread often.. very.often. (popular demand by my husband).
I do a lot of thinking anymore... Since I had Owen I feel like im a lot more genuine. I was thinking how lucky I was to have such a beautiful family- A wonderful husband of 2 years (yeah thats right, were celebrating our 2 year next week!!!), a beautiful baby boy of 6 weeks ;), my own brand new home ( I always love to throw in the 'brandnew' part), a fricken awesome dog (who makes the cutest babies!!), a college degree (got when I was 18!), Great family (both mine and Daves), Wonderful friends, and a sweet A church full of awesome people :) Im blessed with so much more though- A great job, Davids fantasic job, a working vehicle (that I effin love), a sweet tv....Ok now im rambling and you all know i hate cheesy 'im thankful fors'. But this is all mine forever and im only 20!! Im so blessed! Than I started to reminisce about past things and how fast our lives go by its reallly bittersweet. So i got some pictures together that are in order so you can compare them a little... just cause its fun :) Im so happy tomorrow is Thanksgiving :) Owens FIRST Thanksgiving.
Ultrasounds of Owen--- just a couple of the 10+ we had :) and him as a 10 min old baby
A couple pictures of my belly starting with 20 weeks, ending with 36 weeks, than a beautiful picture of my son.
More pictures of my boyy :)
4 days old, coming home from the hospital and 4 weeks old, shopping with mom
Both my boys :) They love eachother sooo much! It's priceless.
This huge guy was the baby of the cousins til O was born. Owen 1mo, Will 6mo

My pre-Thanksgiving Day Post
I went back to work this week. I was very nervous to go back to work with a baby, worried that he would fuss the whole time and that our clients and clinicians would be pissed. But, he has been great and so happy and everyone loves him (duhh), and he is quiet at work!! I love that I get to bring in some money still and keep my awesome job and not have to send Owen to daycare, I cant imagine ever leaving him with anyone beside David! Im lucky to have such a great employer who lets me bring my baby to work. When he gets to old to bring to work ill probably stay home with him or im sure by than i will be more than happy to send him to grandmas for a few hours 
David got fitted for his uniform the other day and he brought tons of stuff home that the sheriffs office issued him for his new job, They give him a generous allowance each year to buy boots and whatever else he might need/want. They gave him his uniform (more than one so I dont have to wash it every day! Yay!) he got a couple pairs of handcuffs he gets a gun and all that good stuff. Poor guy has to get tazered! But they do it in a padded room so when he falls he wont bruise Im super excited for Christmas this year I have almost all of my shopping done alreadY! I cant wait to get our tree and have everything all festive! I cant find my christmas cds and im afraid they might be in my christmas boxes in the attic and David wont get them down for me until thanksgiving he said! David and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary this year! December 3rd I cant believe 2 years already! My wonderful best friend is moving home in a little over a week and I cant wait to see her! We only get to see eacother like every 5 months and she is due for a visit So im glad that she is coming and wont be leaving! I also cant wait for our kids to be besties! SHe has 2 and I dont think I will be catching up to her any time soon... I went on my first coupon trip to the store, it took longer than normal but I saved loads and bought unnecessary items. Awesome! I love being grateful (and i am for everything) and I love when other people are but i am so ANNOYED by the facebook status daily "im thankful" status'. Just cause its November people think they have to show off by posting everythting they are grateful for "im grateful for forks" " IM grateful for toilet paper" "Im grateful for facebook" "im grateful for cookies" "Im grateful for pencils" I mean come on thats cheesy, really mean it and dont be weird. Also I hate when people act like dill holes on facebook for no reason, I have done it but i dont do it.. make sense? Anyway that is all, I have some more to share but it doesnt really go with the rest of this stuff not that any of it went together Ill save it for another time Owen gives me 10minutes of uninterrupted typing Happy thanks giving!
