Life changes...

So we had our first doctors appointment for Baby #2, also known as Spot. Yeah I know the nickname is typical, it was a stand-in goofy nickname that grew on us. When we find out what "Spot" will be we will use the official name.

Anyway, for those who don't know I had a c-section with Scarlette. She was a week late, never dropped, and even with being induced I hardly made progress, 10 hours later and signs of distress starting to show, it was decided a c-section was best. So with this baby of course I was given the option to schedule a c-section. Considering the past events, Jacob and I thought it best to do so. Which means "Spot" will be here August 30th 2010...unless "Spot" wants to show up early...I highly doubt that though. haha. I am thrilled since I know I will not reach 41 weeks this time around. HECK YES!


We are so excited!

Cabin and SNOW

Bare with me...there are lots of pictures with this post. But I loved these ones and more, it was hard to leave some out. This is our trip to the cabin (which still had some snow...yay) with Kc, Nat, and the kids. Our original vacation plans involved Jacob, Scarlette and I going for a few days over Christmas and unfortunately that couldn't happen. So Kc and Nat invited us to go for a day/one night stay trip. We had a great time and were so thankful they invited us up with them...it helped give us a little of our original holiday plans back : )

The Waldhaus Cabin (think i spelled that right)

One of my FAVORITE pictures of Scarlette

Oh Summy...


Tater tot, stuck in a tree...he didn't stay happy for long

Scarlette enjoyed it though, especially when Uncle KC would sneak towards her.
Thank you KC it made a great picture.

A Christmas Story

Oh...Christmas, we sure do love Christmas. This year was even more amazing, since it was the first Christmas with Scarlette. I can't explain how blessed I felt this holiday season, and how thankful I am to Heavenly Father for our little family.

Well to start off, we are apart of the activities committee at our ward. This meant we got to be involved with putting on our ward Christmas party. I have never been to a church Christmas party, so this being my first, I was very excited to be apart of putting it on. So the theme was The Polar Express(a favorite Christmas movie for me) and we needed a back ground mural behind Santa. So we asked if anyone on the committee knew anyone artistic, Jacob felt the need to point me out. SOOO...this led to me sketching out a 6ft by 12 ft picture of the Polar Express train. Turns out it became a nice project for Jacob and I to do together...I made him help color. haha. Here is how it turned out...

He made it! and look daddy is helping him with the kids

The mural being put to good use : )

Now for Christmas day, it ws pretty exciting having Scarlette around, she was jsut the right age to find paper amusing enough to help open some presents, and to show happiness towards the gifts she like. We got her clothes(this lacked the happiness look), and a few toys, her favorite turned out to be this Neopet stuffed thing named JUB JUB. haha.

Little Stinky Bum loved to play under the tree and take off ornaments

opening presents

oh look...its JUB JUB. love the smile on that face when she sees it.

This was mommy's first present ever as a mom and from Scarlette, made at Aunt Natalie's.

I loved it!

Now for our FAMILY GIFT...also I suppose our gift from Heavenly Father. The week of Christmas I was feeling a little off. So the day after Christmas I took a baby test...it was a positive one!

Yes...Baby #2 is in the making!

Thanksgiving

So in recent events we had Thanksgiving! First off was a visit to my dad's house. Were we spent time with my dad, his girlfriend Jacquie, my younger(but not so little) brother, and Jacquie's kdis and family. We had a great time, it was nice to spend a Thanksgiving with them. Since we do Jacob's family Thanksgiving on the weekend, it is now planned we will do actual Thanksgiving day festivities at my dads. We are pretty pleased!

This is Scarlette with her Papa

(yes she has to Papa's...Jacob's dad is one and my dad is the other)

Scarlette and Uncle Shane...can you tell they are related?

The second half of our Thanksgiving celebrations is the annual O'Haver family thanksgiving. This year it consisted of food, good times, gift exchanges, and family pictures. Jacob and I were very excited since they would be our first family pictures since Scarlette was born. I will put some up in a future post of course.

All the new additions, plus Tate who was new last year, but hey he's to cute to leave out

We are truly thankful for our families, and felt very blessed we got to spend time with all of them. Of course we also missed the ones who were not here or live out of state(love you mom)
