Update!

So we are officially proud to announce that we are for sure having a girl! Last week I went in for a research thing at McKay Dee Hosp. and they did an ultra sound for free to get certain measurements and she was able to freeze and point out our little ones girl parts! We are so excited! The name that we have picked out is Shelby Mae Clinger! I know, some people have already told me that they don't like it, but we both feel that it fits and we love it! So there you have it, oh, and by the way, my card business is officially open too! Visit simplystampd.blogspot.com and tell me what you think!

General Conference!

I just wanted to add that I absolutely love General Conference! I actually look forward to it and anticipate its coming! Unfortunately it goes way too fast! I love this time of year and the messages that were shared were good for me to hear! With things getting slow and rough times in our future what better than to hear our Prophet speak on change! It also is a perfect time for me to reflect on my life and get myself back in line! I need to take more time to personally reflect on my life anyways! What a great pick-me-up as we head into the Holiday Season! I have set some new goals for myself and hope that I can be a better person in the end!

Here is my good friend Mindy, showing me how guys pee! What we were studying for anatomy?!
Spaghetti Dinner at Crystal's House, that good huh?!
Mindy, Megan, and I on one of our weekend trips to Lava Hot Springs... "I'm spent" will be a phrase never forgotten! Oh Lisa...
My mom had this sitting on the piano in our living room, it made me laugh when I saw it because it reminded me of a glamour shot! It even looks like a fan is blowing my hair!
Trip after Senior year to Europe, going into the Salt Mines!

One of the few times that I went clubbin' with friends! I was a chicken! But you gotta love the Bag of Tricks!

1.Did you date people from your High School? No, I sure wanted to date some, but never got the chance! I was too shy to talk to the ones that I liked! I mostly dated guys from other schools.
2.What kind of car did you drive? Oh baby, an '88 Bronco II, bright red inside, and super sweet! Yeah I really wasn't that cool!
3.What is your most embarrassing moment? I can't really think of one, I am sure that at the time everything was embarrassing! But I can't think of one particular event! Probably the way I smiled when I had braces on, I opened my mouth but covered my teeth and it looked like I didn't have any teeth, bitter beer face anyone!?
4.Were you a party animal? I think inside I could feel it, but on the outside I was too embarrassed to show it!
5.Were you considered a flirt? I don't think so! I wanted to be, but I never really had a way with guys! My dad said it was because I intimidated them so I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to not do that!
6.Did you play in the band, orchestra, or choir? None, I played the violin but never played in anything at school!
7.Were you a nerd? Definitely! I think that everyone is, in their own special way!
8.Were you on any Varsity teams? Yes, DHS girls soccer team, did I play, no. The coach pulled me aside at the beginning of my Senior year and told me that I wasn't very good anymore. After that my confidence went down the drain and I really did stink! But there were some good memories! Barbie funerals, spaghetti dinners, ...
9.Did you get suspended/expelled? No, I wasn't that exciting!
10.Can you still sing the fight song? Oh yes, you had to sing it a lot on the girls soccer team. I think that will forever be burned in my brain! And yes Jord, I do remember the honk too!
11.Who was your favorite teacher? I don't know her last name, but we called her Brandi, she taught us up at the DATC in anatomy! We had lots of fun in that class, the miracle of birth anyone!?
12.Where did you sit at lunch? At tasties, quizznos, or in Cat Cannons car after a Wendy's run!
13.What was your school mascot? A Dart. Yes that is right, I said a Dart!
14.Did you go to homecoming and with who? NO, I don't think that I ever went to a dance at Davis that was boys choice! Sad, a little, but i got over it!
15.Would you do it again? I think so, now that I know what not to do and what to do better at! I had a lot of good times and I am sure a lot of awkward times, but yeah, I could do round two!
16.What do you remember most about graduation? How freakin' long it took! I don't remember much about that night, but I do remember going to dinner with friends and family at this really delicious place, and all of my grandparents were there!
17.What did you do for senior skip day? There was a day assigned for that? I had a few of those- go to the zoo, go to someones house...
18.Have you gained weight? Yes!! Unfortunately yes, but I have been working hard and I will have a hot bod someday!
19.Who was your prom date? Actually I was never asked to prom at Davis, and I was only asked to go to one by a kid that once went to Davis, his name was Rory Davies. I shouldn't have gone, the night was a total waste and I constantly had to tell him to not touch me! Lots of fun! His friends were trying to get me to at least give him a kiss all night long, which made me refuse stronger and stronger!
20.Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion? Sure, if they have one!
21. What advice would you give yourself? Who cares what others think of you, have fun, and know that nothing that you do in high school will really matter after!

I tag Mindy, Megan, Brandi, Linsey, Holli, and Ashley!

We are excited to announce...

That we are most likely having a GIRL! My doctor said that she wouldn't make any promises just yet, but she said that it looks like a girl! She said that she couldn't see "anything", but she kept saying that she thinks that it is a girl! We didn't get a good picture of her girliness because she wasn't really wanting to cooperate- maybe next time! We are so excited and we actually have a name picked out if she really is a girl. Hopefully she doesn't sprout something by the next time we go in, but if so we will still be excited (and yes if it is a boy we have a name too)! I will get a picture of my ever growing tummy soon! I have been feeling pretty well for the most part, but I still occasionally throw up. Hopefully that will all fade soon!

I'd like to thank...

I'd like to thank Megan, for nominating me for this award on her blog! She is a very successful person and teacher that I went to school with. I have so many fun memories of her, and it felt nice to be noticed. So...

The rules to this post are simple:
1. The people that receive an award get to add this logo to their blog.
2. Choose 7 people that you want to give the award to.
3. Put a simple description of their blog on yours, and see if they can guess which one is theirs.
4. Leave them a comment and let them know to visit your blog!
And the process starts all over again! Ready,:

This persons blog is always filled with beautiful pictures that she has taken. I love to look at them. I played soccer with this person for many years and have many memories in my childhood with her in them!Like street hockey, dog poop being thrown at us. Fun I know! It's fun to check out her blog to see what's new with her family and her photo's!

This person has been through a huge part of my life also! We did grow up together too, and we frequently sneaked around and did things at her house that we couldn't do at anyone else's! If her mom only knew...! She has a beautiful family and I am so glad that she got back in contact with me! Her blog is always so cute and if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have a blog!

This person also grew up with me. We have known each other for many years- she brought out the wild side in me. Always demonstrating and teaching me new things. Like how to catcall, how to throw a rope, and how to pee like a man! ( I've got pictures!) She is very successful as a teacher also, and I can't wait to see her new addition! I am always waiting for an update and get excited when she posts one!

This person I have known since I have been married to Jon. She has been a great friend and confidant many times in my marriage! She is always a great example and is very wise. I love to hear her advice and to see her adorable children. She has accomplished a lot and I really am thankful to be in a family with her!

This person I have also grown up with. She is a great mom and has endured many things! Even though her life might not be what she wants now, I know that in time it will be all that she is looking for! I have always wanted to have her body growing up, because it reminds me of a barbie! I love seeing her cute little guy and keeping in touch with what she is up to!

This person I am so grateful to have in my life. We have had callings together, talks, walks, and pedicures! We love to go to Olive Garden for the never- ending pasta bowl, and she is always there for me to talk to. I love her sense of humor and appreciate her listening to me vent at times! Thanks for being my friend! Her girls are so adorable- I love looking at their pictures.

This person had been in my life alot too! I have played soccer with her since we were little! We have created some fun memories like blowing up barbies, making coffee and Turing up the heat for some of our team members, and moist towelettes! What more can I say! She is funny and has a great sense of humor. She has a great family and it's fun to hear what she has been up to!

Okay, just one more! I have known this person since working at Barnes Bank! She is so funny and I appreciate her. Sh eis very talented and makes such cute cards, scrapbook pages, and crafts. She is organized and has been a great friend. I love talking to her and seeing what is new in her life!

There you have it! Guess which one is for you, and then nominate others for an award!

TAG...I'm it!

Rules: link the person that tagged you, mention these rules on your blog, tell 6 unspectacular quirks of yourself, and tag 6 fellow bloggers! Got it, lets go!

1. I have this inward to desire to be really lazy right now! All of the time! With my husband going hunting this weekend, I plan on doing just that! Great, I know! I promise I really do have high expectations for myself in life, but I just want to put it all on hold for just a moment!

2. My vegetable garden is a complete mess. I couldn't out weed the weeds, and they have finally won- to my utter disappointment. The horses finished the garden off when they escaped into our backyard and trampled what was left of the garden and left some nice divots in the grass! I actually love my vegetable garden, usually, but not this year!

3.I hate when my house is out of order. I try really hard to have a nice, clean, spotless house. I get irritable when things are out of order, but right now for some reason, I am finally able to just be calm! Weird for me! But yes, I do still try to keep it clean!

4. I hate when others touch or use my pillow! I must bring this up again in hopes that my sweet husband will realize that this does, in fact, include him! (I love you Jon!) I am just weird about this and I get totally freaked out about germs and stuff when my pillow has been contaminated!

5. It is the time of year for really big spiders outside, and I really despise them with all my heart! I hate them and am totally freaked out by them, but when I see one, I can't go away until I know that it is dead or else I just know that I will find them in my house! (The watching of arachnophobia the other day didn't help calm me down a bit!) So if you hear me screaming and see me jumping with a bottle of cleaner or whatever I can find at the moment, just know it is a spider and that is all!

6. I am having a really hard time finding things to eat that sound good. So I just eat random things like cheese or...I can't think of anything else right now- but if you have a good recipe or know something that is yummy, please share and let me know so that I can eat!

I know that most of these things are very unspectacular and even yes, weird, but I am blaming almost all of them on my pregnancy right now. It is only fair! I now tag Megan, Mindy, Ashley, Melinda, Brandi, Sundee, Amy, and Lindsay! Have fun!

I think that I am crazy...

We have been so busy, always running from one thing to the next! After the whole blessing and sealing week, I was ready for some good relaxation! What better than to spend the weekend up at Bearlake in the old Paris house! My whole family came up and we had a great time! This last weekend we were up in Idaho for Jon's family! There was a baby blessing and so we made a weekend out of that too! We went to the Idaho State Fair. It was fun! I still feel like I need some more relaxation- so if you've got any ideas- let me know! I feel like I am going to be crazy soon!
He couldn't get enough of his capri sun! He loves little drinks like that!
He was having so much fun filling that bucket up with wet sand! It was a perfect day at Bearlake, not too hot and not too cold!
Here is Gabe loving an ice cream cone at the Idaho State Fair! He has been doing this funny smile where he closes his eye and smiles crooked! I think it's so cute!
Here is Jon and Gabe with Jons brother Nathaniel, and thier daughter Jaycee!

After the crazy trips, this is how we all felt! Notice how freaky his eyes look- they are still open a little- I looked back and was like- aah! On the way up to Idaho he did the same thing, except you could see his iris'! Freaky I know! But still cute somehow!
