Happy Birthday CC!!!
Today is CC’s Birthday, so Chad and I get to watch the kiddies tonight while her and Jarrid go on a hot date! I will also be making her favorite cake, Fun Fetti!
So wish her the best day ever!
Today I had another doctors visit. Chad came with me on this visit, cos we thought we might find out if it was a boy or a girl. But we didn’t. We will in 2 weeks though, because we made another appointment, and the doctor said we could find out then. So we cant wait. Chad did get to hear the hear beat today and he was smiling the whole time. The doctor said everything looks good, and Im gaining the weight I should be (no problems there of course).
CC also gave me a pregnancy workout video, so I used that tonight for the first time. It’s a nice little 30 minute workout that gets your heart going, and builds your muscles. Im gonna try to use it 3 to 4 times a week, since I do not get much exercise at work anymore.
Heath’s latest photos just came in. And here he is sportin the newly issued camo’s. Lookin’ good, little buddy.
Well the last two days have been great. So lets get to the part you’ve all been waiting for.

We hope everyone had a great Christmas Eve. We had the Rhodes over for dinner, and some gift opening last night. We’re about to leave for church at the First Assembly, and we have dinner plans at my folks house. So thats our schedule for today.
We miss you guys, Merry Christmas!
The temperature has been going up, so the snow is melting quickly. It was cute, one of my kids in my class comes up to me and says, “Miss Carrie it’s almost Spring, because I can see grass!” So I smiled and said, “I wish it was Spring, but we have another few months before Spring comes.” I thought that was cute.
Since the snow is almost gone, I have had a few people including my husband say, “To bad we dont get to have a White Christmas!” But that doesnt bother me any, cos we had a White Decemeber and thats good enough for me!
Anyways Chad was telling me that he prefers it snowing instead of raining, and I am just the opposite. Let it rain anyday over snow!
So here are a few reasons why I think its better to have rain than snow:
1. Its not freezing and it’s not torture to go outside.
2. Saves gas money because you dont drive in 4 wheel all the time.
3. I can get to work faster because people actually drive at normal speeds.
4. Im not afraid to walk in the parking lot of stores because there is a layer of ice and snow on the ground.
5. Last but not least, there are no deadly icicles hanging from houses and buildings ready to drop on my head!!!
But there are some advantages snow has over rain:
1. You dont get wet when its snowing.
2. ummm I cant think of anymore…. Sorry Chad
Dear Laura,
Haw are you. Today is your birthday, and you are turning 21. Can you please buy me beer?
You are my favorite cousin, and I hope all of your wildest dreams come true. Please come and visit Carrie and I up in Idaho. We miss you and love you.
We got a call from Heath tonite on the way to Carrie’s company party. He was in New Jersey, and was scheduled to make a stop in Ireland, and off to Kuwait from there, for a couple weeks from training. Here’s a few pics he sent on the camera.
Tonight I took Chad to my Work Christmas Party. At first I didnt really want to go, cos most of the ladies that work there are all older, and I am the youngest one except for the bosses daughter. But it ended being a real fun night, even Chad had fun, mostly because he had all the free beer he wanted and we ate Wolf Lodge.
For my Secret Santa gift I recieved a basket full of candy along with some movie tickets. So Chad and I get to have a hot date coming up.
Oh yea, just to tell you all how cold it is up here right now….. on the way home it was 6 degrees!!! Nows that’s FREEZING!!!
It’s yer birthday! Just wanted to shout out to my main squeeze. He just turned the big Two-Oh. Here’s to knowing you 20 more! 
I coulda swore it was the 17th, but Big Girl was willing to bet a hundred dollars that it was today. 
We have been back from our California vacation for a few days now, and finally getting Chad to put some pictures up. It was a very nice and needed vacation from the snow up here. We went from 20 degree weather to about 75 degree weather. So CC, the babies, and I very much appreciated it. We went to the San Diego Zoo, we rode bikes on the beach, went to Fillippis Resturant, and went to the Osborns house. I was even able to see Brent’s new Condo, and it was really nice.
For those who don’t read PTA, I got my deer this season. On the last day, no less. That’s our hunting partner Mike with his 5 point buck, and me with my doe.
By the way, Daniel, I finally got to break in that nice Buck Knife that you got me for my wedding. Used it to gut that big girl. Thanks, my brotha from anotha motha!
CONGRATS!
She is so sweet.
