Oh Boy!!!
That's right... We are having a boy and we are so excited!! No names yet! (any help is appreciated!) and we have the nursery about half way there and we are running out of time! I can't believe it! We have about 7 1/2 weeks left!! Unless he comes early... we're kinda hoping for Dec 31st :) Everything has been well so far, the doctor says he is big (hope that means he'll come a little early) and besides being uncomfortable ALL the time, its been an easy uneventful pregnancy! We've also been SOO spoiled... we were able to fly back home early October and have a baby shower with our families. We got tons of great stuff, but seeing our families was the best part! I also was blessed with a baby shower thrown by the ladies of our ward! So much fun to hang out with the girls and celebrate our little guy! ALSO last week Scott's coworkers threw a shower at his office! I was able to meet lots of his coworkers and had such a good time with crazy games and good food!! This little guys has already blessed us so much and we couldn't be more grateful for all the support and for our health so far. Only a couple more months and he'll be here. come on Christmas!!!

Wreath(s)
Scott thinks I have a wreath problem. I made this one recently, for the summer time, out of burlap. It is super messy but I like how it turned out.
And believe it or not but Scott made this wreath, It was even his idea. He made it out of garbanza beans... silly boy. We were definitly made for eachother ;)

Update through Pictures
Here is a good variety of what we've been up to lately.... ENJOY!
We were able to go to the Rodeo last week.... Scotts favorite part is the petting zoo, but i loved the food!!! Yes that is right.. The best part was the fried snickers! They had a huge livestock show, amazing food, and then the rodeo. We had so much fun! This is a picture of Scott endulging in the amazingness of the fried snickers.
Scott installed crown molding throughout the ENTIRE house... ended up being a lot more work than we thought! But he did an awesome job, it really looks amazing. This is the entryway. He even painted the ceiling a charcoal grey. I love how it turned out.
I put up my St Pattys Day decor and am pretty proud. I made the shamrock on the door from wood scraps leftover. And the small green wreath I made from split peas (thank you pinterest). It turned out nice I think!! And cost me practically nothing!
Finally spring is here!! We got all new furniture for our patio and now we spend all of our time out there. Scott put up his old hammock from his mission and Jax just loves getting in it, but struggles a bit getting out. It is so funny watching him try to stand and jump out and he ends up falling on his face everytime. So now he gets in and then just stays in. Refusing to get out! The weather is getting warm really fast and before we know it summer will be here and so will the Houston heat! So we will enjoy the outdoors while we can! Lots of BBQing and bike rides.

Scott had a Birthday...SHOUT HORRAY!!
Scott is now 29 years old!! Holy cow kids!! We had a weekend of birthday cake, fried chicken and a lot of football. Yes it is just what he asked for. I bought him the infamous kindle fire, which he loved (go me!) Its not very often that I score big on his birthday so I am going to let everyone know it. Here is an awesome picture of my birthday boy!
What a Year it's Been
Yes I know I haven't posted in a while.. That is why I have decided to update the blog by doing a wrap-up of the year. 2011 just flew by and so far 2012 is going by even faster. Its sad to think another year has gone by an we are just getting older, but I we have had a good year and we did accomplish a lot.
JANUARY: We signed our lives away as we bought and moved into our first home!! This has kept us busy all year. It has been so fun making it our own.
FEBRUARY: My Mom and Jayme came to Houston!! We had so much fun shopping and eating and shopping some more!! I loved having them here and hope we can have a girls weekend again soon.
MARCH: We brought home a baby chocolate lab. Jax has been so much fun, I was very unsure about letting a dog in the house, but Jax really is such a good dog and he has made the year interesting. While he does have his moments, it is fun having someone follow me around the house while I do laundry and other things.
APRIL-JUNE: We pretty much spent the summer going to the beach, the pool, and lots of yard work. We planted lots of trees, started a garden and put in a back patio.
JULY: Scott's little brother, David, was married and we were able to fly home for a week. We were able to spend time in Cedar City and spend time with all of Scott's family. It was fun playing with the kids and of course several games of Risk.
AUGUST: i guess we just worked? Maybe a trip to the pool or something? It was flippen hot though so I don't know.
SEPTEMBER: We set sail in the Caribbean with Scott's sis Mary and her husband Russell. Seven days of sunbathing and eating and shopping!! I loved every minute of it! We stopped in Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel Mexico. We are already talking about our next cruise.
OCTOBER: UFC came to Houston!! Which means Jonny boy came to Houston!! Jon and his friend Kris stayed at our place a few days while the fight was in town. We enjoyed having them here!!
NOVEMBER: I cooked my first turkey and Scott and I had "Thanksgiving for two!" It was really good actually and I believe I heard Scott say it was the best turkey he'd ever had?! What??!! We really missed being home with our families but we made the best of it and thought we'd start some of our own family traditions. So he watched football and I cooked dinner... ;)
DECEMBER: Seems like a lot happened in December.... I was lucky enough to fly home for a week and surprise my mom for an early Christmas... it was awesome. She had no idea I was coming! We went shopping (of course), ate (of course) , visited all sorts of grandparents! (gma and gpa Hatch, gma Joan and gma Jackson), and then went shopping some more!! Scott and I had a "very merry Christmas for two". We had an awesome turkey dinner at the Berg's and spent the evening giggling over football! December also marks the one year mark since Scott and I started trying for a baby. Yes I said it, the cat is out of the bag, no more secrets. No success yet, but whenever I get frustrated or let down, Scott quickly reminds me that God will bless us with children when he is ready to and there is nothing we can to but pray and be obedient. It will happen soon lets hope but I am doing my best to prepare myself... maybe this has something to do with my new calling in primary?? I don't know...
Well that is 2011 in a blog post... I am sure I missed somethings but I think I got the important stuff down. I can't wait to see what 2012 brings our way but I am excited/nervous/anxious!!
