Where did the time go?

A Breeze Through Our Holidays!



It has been awhile since I last posted to say the least. But things have been a little hectic here.
Not only am a slow with the prego brain, but really I am slow to get things done lately. We should be a little better now though because Dayle no longer has to come home and study until bedtime! Yay! Last Saturday he took the final portion on the CPA Exam. We are just waiting for scores to come back.

So on Halloween Dayle wanted to paint a pumpkin on my belly. I said NO! But we did go to a friends for our Halloween Party and one of my friends made the cutest treats I had to take pictures so that I could copy them another year!

So then Thanksgiving snuck up on us, and the doctor told Dayle and I that we should stay home and not travel. We were pretty bummed. But luckily the day before Thanksgiving I had another check up and since everything was fine he said that we could make it a quick trip! It was so much fun to be with family! And since we were all together we went ahead and celebrated our Christmas too!

And last but not least we have been getting the house organized for our little baby Eden! Because who knows when she will decide to show up! So we have put up a few things and are so glad that she is still cookin!
Still Getting Bigger!

Eden's Room!

The Bow Basket! 100% Girlie Girl!

Our Baby Girl Eden Loren is growning and growing. It was so fun when I finally got to see her face 3D. Since I am high risk and have appointments every two weeks and sometimes once a week we have gotten to know our ultrasound techs really well. They are so nice and have been trying to get her on the 3D for about a month now. But it seemed like every time she would turn the machine to 4D instead of the 2D Eden would hide her face. I was SO glad when she finaly quit making us play peek-a-boo! Dayle and I compared her picture to Bryent's pictures and it is interesting to see little differences in the face shape already. We are so excited to get to see and hold her.

We did have a little scare last Saturday when I started having some contractions and problems. So we called the nurse and they sent us to labor and delivery. After a few hours the contractions stopped and they did some tests. One is called a FFNT it can tell if you are going into labor in the next two weeks. It came back negative which is GREAT news. So I get her kickin in me for at least two weeks and that makes me Super happy. After 24 hours they sent us home, but told us to come straight back if it started again. So I am at home taking it easy. Writing on my blog and doing school.

So that is about that for now. Life is good and we are loving life.

Getting Crafty

So I got a little crafty and painted some letters to hang on the door to the baby's room. I got together with my friend Corryn and we had these done in no time. Now I want to keep making things. But I think my plans are bigger than my talents and I may just stop here.

So an update on out little baby. She is 23 weeks. And because the doctors are so concerned from my previous pregnancy that she will come early, they have done extra ultrasounds and even a FFN test which can tell if you will go into labor in the next two weeks. Luckily everything says that she will be in there cookin for a little bit longer. And right now she is the same size as her brother when he came. Which is really amazing because wow! It is a baby!

On another note. Dayle has now passed the first two portions of his CPA Exam! Yay for Dayle! I am so proud of him and all of the hard work that he has put into these exams. I really don't know how he does it. He is planning on taking the other two parts by the end of November and hopefully before our little girl decides to come!

Growing!!!

So it really is official! There is a baby in there! And I am over half way to my due date, and hopefully I can make it this time. We are excited and can not wait to meet our baby girl.
I hate taking pictures of myself and really should have taken one at the beggining to compare them to, but alas I am a bit camera shy. Especially when pregnant!

Good Times!

Yes that is a goat on the roof! Saw it on our drive home from West Virginia and had to get a picture!

So While Dayle and I were in West Virgina we went for very quick ride aroung the block on a Harley. Tons of fun! But about 60 seconds into it, I was like, wait I'm pregnant! Get me off this thing!

Camping in the Smoky Mountains! A wonderful Labor Day vacation. Until we woke up the second morning in 2 inches of rain! We hopped in the car and went and got a warm shower and bed at my Aunt's house. It was a blast soggy clothes and all!
In August Dayle and I went to Stone Mountain for a company outing! We had a blast! We went on a train ride, had a 4D movie experience, ate tons of great food, and when is was dark watched the laser show.

The 4th Of July!

Just had to bring out the hats! Some days we wish we were in Idaho!


So Fun.....Being a kid was easy :)



My Contribution to Patriotism! Layers of yummy fruit...and what?
Jello... I did the Jello layers in Red and Blue!



We are SO excited! Some of our friends from Rexburg just moved to Georgia as well. And the best part is they are only a few minutes away! So we got together for the 4th of July! And had a blast!




We had a great cook out and went to watch fireworks. Then we played with sparklers at home. Our excuse is that we did it for the baby! But everyone knows that sparklers are a pastime that you can't pass up. So here are a few pictures of our day!

Happy Birthday Dayle!

Dayle's 26th Birthday! Another Year Older and Hopefully a Little Bit Wiser Too!

So it wasn't the biggest birthday bash ever this year. Dayle didn't get home from his CPA review courses until around 10:00pm. But when he did I had cake and presents waiting!

And on Friday night we had friends over and played games all night! It was a blast! So really the party just went on longer because we didn't get to celebrate it right away!

Happy Birthday Bryent!

One year ago today our son Bryent Derrick Dalling was born. And later that day his Heavenly Father took him home again. Because his mission on earth was complete.
We love him dearly and are so blessed to know that he is our
son for all eternity!

And this year we have started a tradition of eating Angel Food Cake
on his birthday. Because he is such a sweet little angel.
My mom and other family did the same thing.
It was a sweet celebration!

So to our son, we are thinking of you today.

Summer Fun

I love the summer months. For the last few weeks I have had one of my sisters staying with me. And next week my little brother will come. It is such a blast to go swimming and play with them!

Also Dayle and I have discovered that we love to grill. Cooking and cleaning is SO much easier and when the weather is nice there is no where we would rather be than outside! So hurray for summer! We love it!

Plants!

So now that we are in Georgia I have found that my favorite flower ( the Gardenia) can be grown here. In Idaho it was to cold and windy for such a plant with such a picky nature. So I potted one and it is on my door step! It was lots of fun picking out the plant, a pot, and then getting home and putting it all together. It is about 3 1/2 feet tall and has been in constant bloom since I got it! I love the fragrance that these blossoms have! Since we are in a town house though every thing has to go into pots or hanging baskets. For that reason I can't wait until we get a house!

I also planted some tomatoes and strawberries in hanging baskets and they are thriving in the warm weather. I'll have to post pictures once they are full of fruit!

Down South

In January Dayle and I made it to our new place in Georgia! It has been a busy couple of months since we have been here and we are loving it! We have been to the beach a few times... and hope to make it many more as we are so close now!

Dayle is loving his new job and is glad that tax season is over and things are back to a normal pace!

As for me, I am taking classes online through BYU-I this semester and enjoying getting to know our new neighbors and friends better!

I did however get reintroduced to the crazy drivers here in the south when I was in a car accident in February. I was fine but we had to say good-bye to our wonderful SUV.

Life is great and we are happy to be here!
