GUESS WHAT?!?

It's baby time!!! B-A-B-Why? Because it's going to be great! So for those of you who don't know Cody and I have been trying for a baby for awhile. Well I guess we did something right because I'm pregnant!
I found out at my sister-in-laws place and Cody didn't know yet so I thought I would do something fun to surprise him. Me and Amanda went to the dollar store and bought a congrats banner and a baby outfit and a "worlds greatest dad" balloon. Well, when I got home Cody was there so I snuck out to the horse barn and decorated with all of the stuff I bought. Cody was really busy so I came back into the house and did some dishes and made dinner and when he seemed a little less stressed I went outside and came running back in telling Cody that one of the mares had taken a huge bite off one of the foals ears. Well he comes running out (I can't believe I
kept a straight face) and as he comes around the corner I stand next to all the stuff waiting while he's frantically looking for the injury. He looked over to me and I said "Sweetheart, we're going to have a baby" and after a couple of exclamations of relief he pulled me into a hug. We are so excited for this little addition to our family! I was able to tell the Kelley clan all about us being prego this last weekend where we went down for Laura's first time through the temple. It's was so much fun being able to announce it to everyone at lunch. We then called Cody's family on our drive back up and they were so excited! So the due date looks to be about Feb 15th and I'm about 6-7 weeks along right now and believe me I feel it. I have about 6 hours out of each day that I don't feel sick. Thank goodness this part doesn't last the whole pregnancy!
So one story of being the emotional pregnant girl happened on the way to what I thought was my first appointment (turns out I was a month eary! I can't believe they won't see you till you are 2 months along! So dumb!) Anyway, we are on our way and Cody is complaining about his internship. They work him so hard and he has some really difficult people he works with so needless to say he can't stand it. So he's in kind of a bad mood and gets onto the topic of his Book of Mormon class that he has to take. Apparently his teacher is a really good guy but Cody gets swamped and doesn't want to go to the class. So he's talking about it and then there is a pause of a few minutes and then Cody says, "I just want to say that I know this is important to you but I just don't want to be here right now". So I turn to him, shock on my face and ask him how could he dare say that to me right now. Turns out he had been referring to what he wanted to tell his teacher but I thought that he was seriously saying that to me. Well he immidiately cleared up the misunderstanding but it was too late. I started sobbing in the car just because I thought he didn't want to be there and then he assured me how much he did want to be there which only made me cry harder. It was at least a few minutes before I could calm down and make it into the doctors office only to find out that I had mixed up the appointment date. What a drama! Talk about a sensitive pregnant girl!
Also below are some pictures a friend of mine took of the horses. I think they are so beautiful!

running about

This is a video of pokie running around trying out her legs. What you don't know is that only moments after this footage was taken she accidentally ran into the electric fence and took the whole thing down. Such a dumb animal! It took at least an hour to set up again.

An update of grand proportions

Finally I found my usb cable to transfer pictures to the computer. So I'm going to have kind of a random collection of pictures for this update. Well first off the horses are doing great. They only knock down and completely destroy the fence every other day. Such brats! There is a picture below of me and Cody trying to teach them how to be led and as you can tell it is harder than it looks. The one draft filly Coco took right to it and gave us false hope that the other would too. But true to Pokie's nature (both the real horse and my childhood imaginary friend) she was far too rebelous to put up with such behavior. Cody would pull, and she would pull harder, setting her feet wide apart to get the most resistance possible. So Cody would pull a little harder which would usually make her go crazy fighting and more often than not result in her lying on the floor after falling. Silly thing! By the end of a couple of days she almost looks willing and she allows herself to be led but you can tell that she's such a proud animal that she's only biding her time till she can out smart us dumb humans.

In other news I'm an Aunt again. My brother and sister in law Jyl and Landen had there little boy yesterday. Jyl is native american so they went with the cool name of Locotah (pronounced La-ko-ta) and he was the sweetest littlest thing you've ever seen. What a doll! So congrats to them and I hope he's not too much trouble. Also pictues is Cody with Crymzon out other nephew who was born a couple of months ago. He is turning out to be such a little cutie!
















These last two pictures are random but highlight some adventures that me and Cody have gone on. The one with me in the back of the red van is on the way back from my grandma's funeral in Arizona. Cody and I wanted to save money and have a camp out so instead of a hotel we put the seats down in my sisters car and blew an air mattress up in it. Other than it getting pretty cold at night the sleepover was great and probably something that's not going to happen when the kids start coming so that was fun. The other picture of me on the truck is all the alf alfa that Cody and I bought for the horses. I just wanted to show my Dad the the truck is getting some great use. It's pretty much in it's element up here.
