November 2012

My little Gavin turned 8! He LOVES stuffed animals and probably has too many, but I saw this Giant Monkey at Costco and knew he would love it. For his birthday he took his friends to Fats Cats and Rock Climbing at IROCK. He really wanted a hamburger cake, so it took a lot of work and time and I was able to create the closest thing I could find! 

He was so lucky to be able to be baptized a month later in Hawaii! 

We had Thanksgiving with the Cole clan. We usually don't get to see Great Grandma Stevens around this time of year but we were lucky enough to have her come down. James and Danielle and their kids moved down from Alaska, so this was also our first Thanksgiving with them! I love it when family lives close, theres just a better and stronger bond and I'm so blessed!

This is my Grandpa Cole! He is one of my favorite people on this planet! 

My Great Grandma Stevens and baby Lincoln!

Little Bethany turned 3! Jodi made the most amazing Minnie Mouse cake, and it was Bethany's pride and joy to show everyonr as thry walked in!

I took Bethany shopping for her birthday present. She found this little toy cart to follow me around in, she didn't want to buy it, just pretend thatt she was shopping with! Love this girl!

Exciting News! After 6 months of negative test results we were so excited to finally get a POSITIVE on the EPT! It was the craziest week because I was a baby sitting a family of 4 while their parents were out of town while also preparing for my first ever Boutique and my birthday celebrations. I found out on my birthday November 8th and it was the best birthday present EVER!

To advertise about the Boutique, I posted on Facebook a bunch of pictures of the decorations, jewelry and etc. and I accidentally posted this picture below as well.....I didn't notice until Jeremy came upstairs and asked me about it because his business partners wife saw it and it came through the grapevine! I hurry and removed it, but I wasn't sure how many people had seen it, so we decided to tell the family ASAP, because we didn't want them to find out from their friends who may have seen it on facebook.

We started out by saying......So Jer and I posted something on Facebook that we weren't supposed to AND.....(Their faces were priceless because they thought it was something bad) it was a picture of me holding a positive pregnancy test. Hahah the relief and excitement of was awesome! Jer has 2 older siblings that have 3 kids each and we haven't had a baby in the family for awhile so everyone is excited. We just found out that JB is having my parents first grandbaby in April 2013, so our baby will be the second grandchild, but my parents are ecstatic to be grandparents.

The Boutique that I held was at my house in my front room, and I had a bunch of friends who brought their things to sell. We had a lot of people come out to support us, even with the first snow storm of the year being that weekend! 

My friend makes these adorable skirts and hand stitched balls. 

     One girl makes these adorable hats, some look like frogs, owls and other animals! So CUTE!

 I'm not a huge black friday junky, but my sister in-law Melissa is hadcore so I got to tag along with her this year, and our awesome cousin Kyle came too(such a babe!). I had no plans to buy anything, but as I was lost(not the first time that night) in Target someone was trying to give away one of the doorbuster deals, and Xbox 360 and Kinect gaming system. I knew that Jer would love it, so I grabbed that! Thanks for the good laughs Kyle and Melissa!
