*Creed with Macajah, Montana & Magenta-- handing over Shamuliscious*

Shamu-Liscious has a new home, which happen to be good friends of ours- thank goodness! We gave Shamu to our friends Genevieve & Brendan today. From the beginning we knew we were only going to keep one pup- but man that sucks to give a pup away :( It was good, I just always get sad & My boys kept telling them "you can't have our dog!" Although we will see her a lot & know she is in great hands. The Dalley's are awesome & we know she will love her new home. Now, adjusting slowly to just "Cinnamon Sugar Baby" (we might need to re-think the name) I hope she will be okay without her sis. Lots of love for these pups, they are the Best!
I will post pictures of the week later- gotta run............

Who Doesn't Love Edward?!

I just finished "Eclipse" last night-- ahhhhh! How in the world can you get to be so in love with Vampires?-- It is an addiction, no a CRAVING!! :) I loved this book- but that Bella sometimes ticks me off. She needs an attitude adjustment sometimes- hahhaa I never thought I would be into such books. (any book for that matter) I am just glad I only have a few weeks to wait to get the 4th book. I'm sure with the track record, it won't be a let down. Anyone else in love with these?!?

.... Now, I need to go swim with the boys, they are so happy I am finished with that book too!

Baby Girl Names

HELP?!?!! I am going crazy now that we know we are having a GIRL!! I can't even believe I can say it, it doesn't seem real. I love names & always have some I like while I'm pregnant- BUT this time around, & now that we actually will have a little girl, I can't think of anything?! What is wrong with me? I need suggestions. Look at my kids names, you can't be crazier than me - so throw them out there for us. I am kind of liking the idea of a "C" name. But, won't be that picky. Just thought it would be cute since we have 2 "T"'s (Treygen & Tekai & one "C" (Creed)-- cuz I'm sure you guys couldn't figure that out!- I'm blabbering idiot. - One with a huge smile on my face since we got the news :) WOOHHoooooo............ Give me the GOooDs- & if they have any meaning also. These are the top lists out there- none of which I'll use (mainly, because I have family or friends with the same)..... but they are cute names!

Top 10 girl names

1- Emily

2- Madison

3- Hannah

4- Emma

5- Alexis

6- Ashley

7-Abigail

8- Sarah

9- Samantha

10- Olivia

We just got back from the movies "Horton Hears A Who." I took Creed & Treygen to the kids PTA show. We had a great time with friends. I had to take a picture because the theater we were in showed this......... Hellboy 1:45 - yeah that's what we took our kids to- NO BIG WOOP! - NOT :)

*& a Shout out to my Fav Things Partner- she sent me another package & look how adorable this is. She made it- oh so talented, Thank You again- LOVE IT!

Our Baby

We finally got our results back from the amnio I had a few weeks ago & everything looks great. :) We were so happy & feel so blessed, then I remembered they could tell me the sex of the baby (with an amnio it is 100% positive) So, with my heart pounding in my chest I asked & they told me: GIRL !!!!!

I couldn't believe what I'd heard so asked a few more times as I was crying in the phone! Creed & Treygen have been so excited ever since & keep wanting to get stuff for her. They also want her to share a room with them :) hahaha.... I think they'll change their minds when they realize how "girlie" I will be decorating it. So, bracelets, hair bows, toe nail polish, dollies, dresses Here We Come!!

Treyg's not lovin' the bow I put in his hair- who is this baby going to look like??

Creed picked out this outfit for his baby sister!

Tekai- not enjoying the bow either- thank goodness!!

Oh, & if anyone needs some cute boy stuff - I've got it all :) I am going to sell my adorable crib bedding I bought a year ago - Glenna Jean Spa Bedding.....

Another World

I feel like I have been in another world the last few weeks! I got back from Vernal & was swamped with my Brown Family Reunion all week (which was a blast!) & in the usual blogging moments I had to finish the "New Moon" Book!!! Good night, I agree, this chick who wrote these must have put "crack" in between the pages that made you crave more & more!! I am not a reader at all- No Time #1 & I just would rather not, mind you- but WOW... now I am starting the 3rd book. My poor kids :) I try & read when they are asleep at night, but somedays I'll crack it open for a few pages that turn into 30! NO MORE... Gosh, I can't wait to be finished & sit back waiting to watch the movie. I gotta go, my boys are putting on another Talent Show....

Here are some pics from the "Big Brown Shindig"

ADDICTION

I have a new addiction (NO, NOT FOOD- I may be pregnant, but have some control!) I jumped on the big bandwagon I swore I never would & started the "oh-so empowering" "Twilight"!! I know you are all so proud thinking, "Jodi can read??- what in the world?!" I just don't know how anyone finds the time to do it! The ONLY reason I started it, was we had a LONG drive home from Vernal & Missy told me I could take her book & read it in the car. I read more than half of it on the way home, then Sunday read a good portion (too many distractions-Kids) & Finally finished the last 20 pages last night :) Woohoo I am quite proud of myself, I just don't get into reading. #1 I don't have any time. #2 I don't love it. #3 Well, I'd rather do something else! BUT- my mom brought me the second book "New Moon" & I started it late last night. I had to force myself to put it down to get a little shut eye. I'm thinking this girl that wrote this is amazing how she puts "this addictive chemical in it to make you Crave it Day & Night" Wow- I'm pretty sure she's not "crying herself to sleep on her big pilla" for not doing so hot on these books!

Now that it's out there, DO NOT try & get me Hooked on some other CraZy set of books I don't have time to read!!!!!!! Love ya guys- oh, & Kellie & Rach thank you for the yummmmmmy dessert the other night & late night talking. You guys are part to blame for my overwhelming addiction to these books- hope you feel good about yourselves :)

*I better not even mention the third one- maybe I could get that as a book on tape- hahaha, don't love those much either!

Two New FurBalls

Meet "Shamu-liscious" & "Cinnamon-Sugar Baby" - the boys named them!

We were surprised by these cute pups when we got home from Vernal. Long story short- a friend needed to re-adopt them out.... so the suckers that we are, took them in! We are only planning on keeping one, but they are so adorable & playful my boys aren't going to be happy to part with one. We'll love em' as long as we can! Yoshi is slowly adjusting :) Shih-tzu's are the best !

*Little Ewok faces*

*"Special Delivery" - Creed Says*

*Treygen taking a "Pile drive to da face!" from the pups*

*Wrestlin / cuddlin' with Jas*

*Tekai trying to run off with his ball before he gets tackled!*

Vernal Utah

Yep- we took a trip to Vernal to see my bro Joel & his family & celebrate our countries Independence Day! I have to be honest, I wasn't looking forward to travelling with my 3 kids without Jason- & it being so far away. My mom drove with us & we had a great time! There is really a lot to do up there :) It is such a pretty place too. My boys loved the mountains, fishing, dirt bike & 4 wheeler rides, dinosaurs, 4th of July parade, fireworks & running wild with their cousins. We did miss Jason though, & I managed. I have just had a lot going on & didn't want to deal with any surprise fits on my own. Joel & Missy showed us a great time. Thanks for the fun guys- we'll be back up (with J next time) to go camping by the beautiful overlooks & lakes.

**GOD BLESS AMERICA LAND THAT WE LOVE**

*Thank you Mom for all you did for us!!*

You are all Amazing!

I really didn't want to post this- but knew I should. I just wanted to let you all know how much we appreciate the thoughts & prayers our way! This has been a crazy week for us, but we feel so much love from everyone. I am feeling fine- kucky at times, but okay. The Amnio wasn't bad at all & now we just have to wait 2 weeks for results. I am a lot calmer & more at peace than I was. I truly have felt all of your love, thank you so much. I don't think I could've done this without everyone being so supportive & caring. Although I feel overwhelmed with emotions, overall I know everything will be okay. I am blessed to know my dad is with this sweet spirit baby of ours & is doing everything in his power to make everything well for us.
So, From my heart to yours- bless each of you for all of your concerns. It means a lot to me & my Family. You guys are Awesome!
