Welcome Scarlett Baby!!!!

Well it's official... we are expecting baby to arrive June 29th 2010! We couldn't be more excited! We have actually know for quite some time now, in fact i took the pregnancy test right before I posted my last blog!!!!

I found out a few days before Will's birthday... so I decided to keep it a secret from him and tell him on his birthday! Every other birthday surprise that I had for him had been spoiled, so I thought what better a surprise this could be. Except for the fact that I had to keep it inside. I think that this is the best secret I have ever kept... I didn't even tell my mom or sister (probably one of the hardest things ever, besides not telling Will right away!) I kept it is for 2 days!!! I kept trying to get Will to open his present early, but he is stubborn and refused!!!

I went and got UNLV baby clothes, one for a boy and one for a girl. I wrapped them up with the pregnancy test and got him a card about being a good DAD.... He was a little confused after opening the card!

I woke him up early... he doesn't know what he is about to find out!!!!

The confusion after reading the card....

Seeing the baby clothes!

The officialness of the pregnancy test :)

Will telling the good newss to our family, by showing them the presents I got him!

Needless to say, we are so happy and excited to start our little family! June 29th couldn't come sooner.... as long as I keep feeling the way I do. Haven't been sick yet, and let's cross our fingers!

it's about time....

I know it's been a while, but we have been super busy. Will started his new job, and his last semester of graduate school, we both got new callings, I started another school year.... between our lives, church and our families.... we tend to keep schedules filled up! So heres a few pictures to document our crazy lives.....

Finally

So a lot has been going on lately. Got our house, painted, moved, house sat, celebrated Fourth of July, and a trip to Utah! This post will be a narrated tour of pictures through the last couple of weeks!

Sorry in advance for the pictures that are sideways.... it wasn't turning and I didn't have the patience to fix them... so just turn your head. :)

After signing our life away at the title company for our house!

Day 1- After getting into our house, we decided that we coudln't wait and we needed to paint. Mind you, we decided this at about 8 at night. Alyssa and I trucked on over to Home Depot and got all the paint. We had decided we were going to pull an all-nighter. We just couldn't understand why the man behind the paint counter was laughing at us after telling him the dimensions of the house, getting the paint, and telling him we were going to paint it all in one night! I now know why he was laughing at us....

This is my wonderful mom helping paint at our all nighter! Thanks mom for your help and for providing the much-needed caffine for the night!

Alyssa (The best sister ever. I couldn't have made it throught the move without her! Thanks Alyssa) and Sarah helping paint. We figured since we were all teachers and are on summer break, we could handle the all-nighter!

Painting Away!

The end of all-nighter numero uno! My phone says 4:00 AM... and if anyone knows me... this is a miracle, I am usually out by about 10 pm!

Painting...Day 2- The man at the paint counter was right! We didn't get it all done in one night, but we did get the whole downstairs done. Day 2 consisted of painting upstairs!

Thanks Kari (Will's mom) for coming and painting. Couldn't have gotten all throse rooms done without you!

Dad painting the TALL, TALL wall! Thanks for reaching all the spots we couldn't and for having the gadgets to take care of anything and everything!

Me, by the end of all-nighter numero dose. I was definately not as pleasant by the end of this all-nighter! Thanks everyone for putting up with me!

Lincoln stealing my camera, thanks for the house, and for coming over to help tape (your favorite) and paint!

Day 3- Last wall needing paint! Alyssa beautifully wrote our names before fully covering it!

Day3 (still)- We were very blessed and were given a bunch of really nice furniture. We are very grateful for all the blessing that we have been given with this house, and we are so lucky to have such great family and friends to help us along the way!

These guys did great! This stuff was HEAVY and the turning stairs didn't help either!

Thanks for all your help!

Taking a break after a long day of moving! You guys are the best! Thanks for all you do!

Going CRAZY travaling ALL the way from my new house to Alyssa's new house!

Fourth of July! Thanks Brandon and Megan for coming to hang out with us!

Trip to Utah.... Alexa and Emma with matching braids!

Alyssa taking Sarah and I to Ikea for the first time!!! It is amazing there!

One of the best days of the trip! Going to see Whitney and Baby Sawyer! I miss you guys.

It has been a crazy last couple of weeks, but they have been great!

Pictures of finished product of the house to come, OR just come by and visit to check it ouyt for yourself! We have a cute guest room.....

scatter brain....

The last two posts go together with all the pictures. And the AAACHHOOOO.... is becasue I think Will gave me allergies. I have never really had them before. All of the sudden this year for the past month I can not stop sneezing. At night my nose gets super stuffed up, so I have to breath through my mouth, then my lips get all dry! I hate it, then I wake up and my nose wont stop running... make up you mind, nose! Will has always had bad alleries for as long as I can remember. In high school he would have them so bad that he would just stick tissue up his nose to keep it from running, which I have not yet resorted to, but have considered it! Anyway, I blame Will for me now haveing allergies.... Are allergies even contageous? :)
Hope that these posts aren't too confusing....

Shantel's Sweet Sixteen party at the top of the Red Rock! This is what Will enjoyed.... I didn't even get good pictures of how cool this place was... or a picture of us together!

Good friends that came over to die eggs.... Thanks! I warned you that some were old!

AAAACHOOOOO

OK... so I am a little late on my weekly post, but I have made a decision. If I don't have anything fun to post, then I just ramble and blab and it usually turns into complaining/venting.... and I hate reading lost posts on other peoples blogs, so why whould anyone want to read it on my blog?

Plus I really like to look at pictures, so in no particular order and some kind of old (March/Aprilish) but oh well. Hope you enjoy....
Firefighters came to school to read to the kids. Of course, since I am the new one the other teachers volunteered me to put on the fire suit. It was totally sweaty and nasty! And i swear the fireman is not grabbing my booty and smilling as he stares... just holding up the oxygen tank and laughing cause when he let go I almost flipped backwards!

Cute pregnat sisters at their baby shower with the diaper cakes I made them!!! I was so proud of myself!

Will is obsessed with wieners... Dogs of course!

Will and Alexa came to visit at school and came to my awards ceremony! Thanks!

Great Grandma White! She is AWESOME and so FUNNY!

house... shmouse...

So, we had been house hunting for what seemed like forever. Lincoln was awesome and would take us out every Wednesday to look at houses. Every house I was able to find something wrong withit or just didn't like it. It got to the point, to where I would just go with Lincoln, then if we found one that I actually liked, we would take Will to go see it. Well, it took a while, but we found a house that Will and I agreed on and fell in love with it. But it seems like the wait now is taking even longer than the search, for it to actually become ours. We put in an offer, got turned down because the stupid Wells Fargo guy, then the other people fell through, the agent called Lincoln and said it was ours! We were so excited, if you think this story ends here you are mistaken! :) We had to write up a new offer and submit it, but some how between 7 am when we submitted our offer and 3pm... they got another offer. We ended up increasing our offer and it was accepted!!! YAY!!! Still not the end.... Got the house inspected, everything looked good! Now we are just waiting and waiting and waiting. Durring the wait Wells Fargo sends out an appraiser, to check everything out. They pick who goes and we just have to foot the bill! So stupid, but even stupider is who they sent out there! We go the appraisal back and it said the master bathroom toilet didn't work and that the garage door didn't go up or down. Will and I got a little worried because the inspection from earlier came back all good! So Will and I went over to the house to check things out for ourselves. First we go into the master bathroom, I look down in the toilet and the is no water... of course it isn't going to flush. Will looks back behind the toilet and the watter was turned off, so all he did was turn it on. We waited for the toilet to fill up, then flushed it! So it did work... Then we go down to the garage, open the door from the house and walk in. I look up and the plug is hanging down from the opener thing! No wonder it wouldn't open or close... IT WASN'T PLUGGED IN!!!! This guys is so dumb... I am a girl and don't know a whole lot about house repairs or maitence, but I solved both problems... with the help of my handy husband!!! So we still were a little concerned and wanted to plug in the garage to make sure that it really did worked... but we had no ladder. So what did we do... I jumped up on Will's shoulders and plugged it in, now the logical thing to do would be to get down and push the button, but I stayed up on Will's shoulders and pushed it. So, now our future neighbors will think that we are weidos, walking around the garage on each others shoulders! :) Well, sorry there is no pictures, but once it is offically and finally ours don't you worry!!! Needless to say... I should be getting paid the $500 that we had to pay that idiot! But I am glad that everything does work.... and hopefully the waiting won't be too much longer!
I was trying to keep up with my one post a week and this was about the only funny or exciting thing that happened!
Oh...wait... I almost forgot.... The last day of school was on Thursday!!!! I have offically finished my first year of teaching!!!
