Dinner Time!

Waiting for California Adventure to open

Well, this post is a little late but oh well! We went to Disneyland over Spring Break with my family: Mom, Dad, Ryan. Chantal, Sariah, Jacob, and I. Even though I hardly rode any rides, it was still a lot of fun! I actually enjoyed the little kid rides!! I'd never taken the time to go on them before but since that was all I could do, I took advatage of it! I think my favorite ride was Peter Pan. Oh and my OB doctor specifically said that I could go on Splash Mountain so that was a real treat!! Yay, a big kid ride! Well here are a few pics. I was in charge of the camcorder so I don't have very many pictures.

The Ultrasound!

Surprise! We found out today we are having a boy! We weren't supposed to know until the next ultrasound but our little baby boy wasn't being shy at all! We are so excited!

1 year ago!

Happy Anniversary (March 10th!)

Our 1 year anniversary was March 10th, a week ago. We've been at Disneyland so I wasn't able to blog our anniversary. We had so much fun! We sold so many things through Craigslist that we were about to give to D.I. It was just like our wedding...free money!! Then, we went on a hunt to find me some maternity pants...no success! Everything is too big! After that, we ate dinner at Rainforest Cafe. It was an ok restaurant but we thought we'd try something new! Then, we went to the movies and saw College Road Trip!! Sooooo much fun! It is such a great movie and it's G!! Can you believe it? A movie with people is actually G - rated! Crazy! Well, overall, we had a great 1 year anniversary! I would post pics of us but our camera's battery died just as we arrived. Oh well!

The Heartbeat!

Today was my first prenatal visit!! So now I have the 110% confirmation that I'm pregnant! And, the best part was that we got to hear the heartbeat!!!! It was so awesome! The heart was beating 160 beats a minute. It was the most wonderful thing ever!! We are soooo excited! In two weeks I go back to get the 1st ultrasound!

Valentine's/Birthday! (a little late)

February 14th was not only Valentine's Day but it was my birthday!!! Jacob took me to the Phoenix Zoo for half of the day. It may not sound romantic but it was!!! Let me give you some background. Our first date was October 2006 to none other than the Zoo!! What a creative first day huh?? I thought so. Anyways, last year on my birthday we were engaged so I thought it'd be fun to go back to the Zoo. So since it's my birthday again, it was only tradition and memories that brought us back to the Zoo! We rented a double back just like we did on our first date! My hubby is so romantic! I just love him! Anyways, after the Zoo we went to my parents house and had a family party and then headed off to our reservation at Texas Roadhouse! Yum! Oh ya, I forgot, before the Zoo Jacob took me out to breakfast at Village Inn! What a great Valentine's/Birthday! Well, here are some pictures!

At the Zoo!









At Texas Roadhouse!

12 weeks and way excited!!

Well, as of tomorrow I will be 12 weeks pregnant! yay! I'm almost out of the 1st trimester. It already seems like forever! Plus, I haven't had a doctor's appointment yet! It's making me go crazy! I just want to hear the heartbeat and/or see the baby!! So for now, I'm just going off faith! My appointment is one week from today, March 7th! Almost here! I just need to hang in there one more week! I am so excited about this baby! Jacob and I couldn't be happier!! If it's a boy the name will be Talmage and if it's a girl the name will be Emma. I have a feeling it might be a boy though. I guess I'll just have to wait to find out! Geez! I'm not good at this waiting patient game. It's so hard! Well, I'll let ya know how the first appointment goes next week! Wish us luck!



P.S. Here is a "Sample" ultrasound of what the baby looks like now! I know it's cheesy, but I'm just way excited!!! Can you blame me?

The Hubby Tag!

1. What's his name? Jacob CML Lewis
2. How long have you been married? 1 year (March 10)
3. How long did you date? For 3 months and then got married 6 weeks later! Fun times!
4. How old is he? 23
5. Who eats more? He DEFINATELY does! He always finishes what I can't eat. It's kind of nice!
6. Who said "I love you" first? He did! He is so sweet!
7. Who is taller? He is.
8. Who sings better? He definately does! He did choir in high school and has sung in church. NOT me!
9. Who is smarter? I think he's smarter but if you asked him, he'd say I was smarter. But I still say he's the smartest. That's why he makes the most money!
10. Whose temper is worse? We both don't really have a temper. Jacob is pretty calm about everything I'd say.
11. Who does the laundry? Me!
12. Who does the dishes? Me, but he usually helps clean up the kitchen after dinner.
13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does

15. Who mows the lawn? We don't have lawn right now, but it will definatly be him!
16. Who cooks dinner? I do! But being pregnant, I haven't cooked much lately.
17. Who drives when you are together? He does! I just like it that way!
18. Who is more stubborn? I don't know but he'd probably say me. Who knows!
19. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Probably Jacob. He's always humble and says sorry. I need to be more like him!
20. Whose parents do you see the most? Mine. But we try to switch off every other Sunday for dinner.
21. Who proposed? Jacob did! He actually proposed during our engagement pictures! We knew we were going to get married but we were thinking the summer time because of school and then we decided to move it to spring break (hence our 6 week engagement) so then he had to get the ring ready and he thought it'd be cool to catch the moment on camera! How sweet!
22. Who has more friends? We pretty much have the same friends.
23. Who has more siblings? He definately does. He is the baby of 12! 8 sisters and 3 brothers! yep, he beats me!
24. Who wears the pants in the family? That's a funny question! We make most of our decisions together.

Happy Valentine's!! (almost)

Only 5 more days til Valentine's Day! Since that's my birthday, I didn't want to leave Jacob out on the whol Valentine fun so I decided to do the 12 Days of Valentine's! It's just like the 12 days of Christmas but with lovey dovey stuff! Well, after the first few days, I started running out of ideas. It's so hard to think of 5 things and then 6 things and then 7 things etc. But I'm making it! He's hoping I'm going to give him 12 DVD's on the 12th day. Funny!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us....If we will put our trust in Him, if we pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."~President Gordon B. Hinckley

We will miss him dearly and we'll always remember the example he was! We know that he is in a better place and happier than ever to see his eternal companion, Marjorie.

Happy 10 month!!

Today is our 10 month anniversary! I can't believe it's almost been a year! Crazy! And, we have a baby on the way. It's due September 15! We couldn't be happier! We're sooooo excited! I can't wait til we get the first ultrasound!

November & December

Well, Jacob was once again the #1 referrer for November!!! And just recently, starting January, Jacob got a raise and moved up. Now he is an SSA or Service and Sales Associate. I'm so proud of him!!

This Christmas was our very first Christmas together!!!! It was soooooooo much fun! I can't wait for next year and when we have kids. We already have ideas for traditions with our future kids. We can't wait for the day we have kids!

Life is going to be getting busier in the next few weeks because school is starting again! Ahh! This break has flown by. Jacob is taking a math class and an Ancient Cities and Lost Tribes class. So he's excited for that one! I am taking a full schedule again.... including Chemistry!

Wish us luck and happy new year!
