You and Me + 1 = 3!

On April 21st Shane came home to a little surprise. In it he found this!

A positive pregnancy test!

And little baby booties!

Yep! You guessed it! We're PREGNANT!

We're so excited. And the best part is... we're due on Christmas DAY!

We wanted to wait and tell our families on Mother's Day.

Turns out, Shane had a surprise for me as well.

A little baby onesie that says " I love my Mommy".

On Mother's Day we visited both our families. Mine in the morning and his in the evening. We gave my mom a gift...

This is what the card said and the next two pictures are what she found inside:



She was so excited that she didn't even finish reading the card out loud. Then she opened the gift and showed everyone else. It was a good surprise.



On the way to Shane's mom's we called his dad to tell him the news. Here's how the conversation went:

Dad: Yeah, we were thinking about coming to visit in December to see the grandchildren.

Shane: Well that would be a good time to come because by then you're going to have another grandchild.

Needless to say, he was pretty excited. =)

For Shane's Mom and Grandma, we gave them cards that said "love Shane, Jenny and Baby" They caught on right away... Like my mom, his mom couldn't finish reading out loud and started screaming. Once she got it out everyone congratulated us.

It was a fun day.

Tuesday is our first ultrasound where we'll get to see the our baby... even if it does only look like a blob. =)

We can't wait to welcome our little baby home.

Jobs, Lasers, and Recent Events

Sorry it's been a while since the last post. But I'm happy to report that I've started a new job! I work for a Chiropractor as the front office person. I started about a month ago and I'm really enjoying it. Plus, I get free adjustments which is a plus seeing as my neck is messed up. So things are going really well!

About a week ago I went in for laser eye surgery. A very bizare experience. I would liken it to being abducted by aliens and them doing experiments on my eyes. Weird. But I'm healing really well and I now have 20/20 vision! It's so AWESOME! Here's a "before and after". My eyesight was actually worse than this. The big "E" on the chart was blurry.



Other things we've done lately:

>Shane's sister's and nephew's baptism (Sierra and Kylan).

>Conference, Easter Pageant, and Easter at my parents.

>Brian Mo's wedding. Congrats!

>Shane's sister's b-day. Happy Birthday Shana!

Adventures in Riding and Paint

I was finally able to take my intro to riding class on Feb 27th. It was a blast. Although, I have to admit that I struggled a bit. My hands are so small that when I tried to grab for the brake I accidentally hit the throttle. Yeah, I dropped the bike twice. That sucked. However, it was a good insight and made me realize I needed to learn on a smaller bike that could take a beating... This resulted in:

Jenny Beast

I was cleaning the house this weekend and ran across some old art stuff from high school. I had a few paintings I never finished. I had some extra time... so I finished them. Yay! Here are the final projects.

Shane's Birthday!

We celebrated Shane's 25th birthday at our house on Saturday. Our families came over and we had a great time!

Here's Shane (with Cooper) and all 25 candles. We think Cooper thought it was for him. =)

He got them all blown out! Hope you made a good wish!

Here's some of the family getting ready to see what were in Shane's presents.

A portable DVD player!

And what's a DVD player without DVD's?

Shane got a lot of cards from our families. He likes knowing that he's the favorite son, brother, uncle, and grandson. =)

Gift card to Outback from his mom and Pablo. Oh yeah!

Motorcycle gloves! Thanks Skyler!

Garage door opener for the motorcycle from my mom and dad! Sweet!

Time for cake and cupcakes!

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it! And thanks for all the great gifts!

And a special shout out to Nate for being our camera man!

Happy Birthday Shane!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jenny and Shane.

Forever Valentines.

Shane gave me those "love puppies".

But, Oooh. What's in the box?

Rubbies and Sapphires. Thanks Baby! (He loves me.)

I made Shane heart-shaped sugar cookies. They are very yummy.

He loves the little ones.

Happy Valentine's Day baby! I love you!!!

Hail, Motors, and UOP

It hailed in Queen Creek!!!

It happened Sunday evening. We just couldn't believe it!

This picture is our sidewalk out front.

Yes. This is me... holding hail. It was cold.

So Shane and I decided to be really crazy and buy a MOTORCYCLE! We got it over the weekend. It's a Suzuki Marauder. We are excited to learn to ride.


We went and got our gear today. We think we're so cool.

Shane. He looks like he's done this before.

Jenny. She looks like she hasn't done this before.

But she's rockin' the pink!


My friend Brian, from University of Phoenix, had his going away lunch today. He and I were hired at the same time and in training together. It was so nice to see everyone again.

Jason and Brian.

Dave and Amanda. Dave was my cube neighboor when I worked at UOP.

Me and Andrew. He was also in our training group.

We went to lunch at Native New Yorker. The pizza was yummy!

It's always a good time to see friends again.

Good luck at BYU Brian!

The Job Search Continues...

*Sigh*

So I was getting pretty annoyed when I started hearing the word "economy" everywhere. It didn't seem like such a big deal here in AZ. I was wrong.

I have a story for you. It's called Jenny the Job Hopper.

Once there was a girl named Jenny. She was a Job Hopper. She worked at University of Phoenix until she was almost fired. "You can't fire me! I quit!" So what did Jenny do? She hopped jobs.

Then little Jenny worked for an apartment with old people.... until they couldn't afford Jenny anymore. So she hopped jobs again.

Now Jenny is working for a company that wants her to work for free. Little Jenny didn't like this idea... so she will continue to hop her little heart out until one day, when she will find Prince Job; the fairest job in the land.

The End
