Now I know where babies come from!

I went and visited my best friend Danee (we have known eachother since we were 1) and she has a little 4 year old girl and she is like my niece and this is how our conversation went:

Girl: Melody, don't you want to have a baby now?

Me: Of course I want a baby

Girl: Well all you have to do is go to the doctor and tell him that you want a boy or a girl and he will give it to you. And babies come from God and he has special powers.

It was the cutest thing ever!

*If only it were that easy!!

Doing that thing you do

I have been looking everywhere for this movie and Bear finally found one for me!! This is one my favorite movies of all time. Thanks hunny for finding this for me! Now it will playing over and over at our house since its been years since I have seen it.....I have to catch up :)

What Santa Brought

This year has gone by sooooo fast hasnt it! We had a good and fun Christmas this year. We first went to my family's get together on Christmas Eve with ALL my family to my grandparents house. We get to eat yummy food and play games. Then at midnight we do Christmas with my family (mom, dad, bro/sis). I love doing Christmas at midnight! We have done this tradition for 20+ years. We are for sure tired the next day but its all worth it!

Christmas day we go over to Bear's mom house. First we went to my parents house at around 10am becuase my brother Josh who is serving a mission was able to call! It was so fun to talk to him but I always seem to talk to him the shortest amount. Everyone talked to him for 20+ minutes and then there is me who only talked to him for maybe 5 minutes! What is wrong with me! Then we went to Bear's mom and that is where we talked to his brother who is also serving a mission! We played games and were able to see our neice and nephews! It is so cute to see them opening presents and get so excited!

This year Bear got me the Cristus statue and I just love it! I have been wanting this for a long time! What a good husband he is.

And Bear got the foose ball table he has been wanting! So this year was good to us and hope it was to everyone else!!

Procrastination

Every year I always say that Iam going to start my Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving but it never happens. Tomorrow happens to be Christmas Eve and I am still NOT done shopping! This year has been pretty crazy! We unfortunately don't even have a tree up this year. Yes that is right NO Christmas tree! Next will hopefully we be a little different but don't take my word!

So tomorrow I now have to deal with:

Crazy traffic! In what takes me 15 minutes to find a spot takes me about 30 minutes and then having to find a spot to park is a whole other story in its own.

And the crowds of People! People are very rude and I think I am claustrophobic when I am stuck with all those people! That's what I get right for waiting till the last minute! This should be fun!!

It's that time of year again!!

Iam mailing out our Christmas cards and its crazy how much we both have changed...

Its cold outside!

I was helping my neighbor with her yard sale and it was very cold so I bundled Toby up! Its pretty ridiculous but its soooooo cute isn't it! I think its time we have some kids!

Are you Serious!?!?

I LOVE Dancing with the Stars! Its one of my favorite tv shows. I have been watching every week for the past 10 weeks and fell in love with Mel B and Maks.

I was routing for them since the beginning and for sure thought that they were going to take it all. But unfortunaltely they didn't win. I was so sad. Although I was happy either way to who won! If that makes sense. They were both deserving of it! So yay for Helio!

PS-Does anyone else watch this show?

6 things that aren't commonly known about me...

1. I have always wanted to be a dancer! I love watching dance shows and wishing I could dance like that. If I have a girl she will be a dancer :]


2. I wasn't always this shy of a person. Back in 6th,7th,&8th grade I would run for Student Council, perform in talent shows, and enter into contests! You wouldn't catch me doing that now!

3. Iam such a worry-wort! If I don't know where someone is and I can't get a hold of them I start to think of the worst things possible that could happen and then I get really sick to my stomach.

4. Bear's friend have a nickname for me and its name-Nazi. I have a good memory with names. For example, One of bears friends was on the phone with a company and said his name once and needed the guys name about 2 months later and I still remembered it.

5. Iam an impulse shopper. Not always a good thing.

6. I love watching and reading the news. Lots people don't like to watch the news because its depressing and rarely is anything good reported; but I love knowing what is going on weather its good or bad. It gives me something to talk about and to give my opinion on how I feel about the subject.

We are waiting for the tour-tis-is-tis

We went to the hockey game with Bear's brother and his family! I have never been to a hockey game and didn't really have a desire to but it was more fun than I thought. It was really fun just hanging out and talking. We had not seen them in a LONG time so it was a nice time visiting! And they have the cutest little boys also! As we were walking back to our cars after the game, Bear and Josh each had a boy on their shoulders and were running and the oldest one said," We are waiting for Mom and Melody. The tour-tis-is-tis. He was trying to say tortoise but was saying tourist and tortoise at the same time! It was so funny! So the whole time he was saying hurry up tortoises! I guess we weren't walking as fast as he wanted us to :]

Yay for free hats, shirts, soda, food, and tickets!

Enjoying the game with this little cutie!

When we were being called tortoises

Trying to get him to look but the game was more fascinating than us of course!

No more memories!

Our computer died on us last week and our neighbor tried to fix it but there was nothing he could do so we lost everything!! I had about 1500 pics and the smart one Iam, I didn't back any of them up! I have a few printed out and the ones on my blog left but that is it! Iam pretty sad but its my fault I guess! Now I have to start all over again with making our memories.

PS- Iam feeling way better with taking the Clomid. I think It was just the first 2 days getting used to it so now I feel great!

Feeling the effects

So I started the Clomid on Wednesday! My first pill was fine, although I was feeling nausea in the morning. It wasnt that bad until this morning. I woke up very sick to my stomach like the first morning so I wasn't really worried. But right when I got out of bed, it got worse. I was dry-heaving and did this for 10 times. I am hoping it will get better as my body gets used to it! At least its only for 5 days.

Now the hot flashes are coming on!
All I can say that if this works, then its allworth it! Keep your fingers crossed....

Shy-ness

Iam sitting here at work BORED and was wondering what makes me such a shy person and why am I shy only around certain people? I looked up the word and this is what it gave me...

a. quiet and self-conscious

b. a feeling of insecurity

I know that Iam quiet and self-conscious and have insecurities but never did I think that it was makes me such a shy person. It really bothers me that Iam such a shy person around people. When I get around my family I am the loud one but when I get around my friends Iam the one that barely talks. I tend to care what people think about me and in the end I think that is what makes me this way. I worry about it to much so I just keep quiet when Iam around people. I just thought it was interesting! So I guess I am going to have to try and make some changes so Iam not the shy boring person at the fun get-togethers....

Dan In Real Life

What a cute movie this was! We saw this movie over the weekend and I totally recommend it! No bad words or inappropriate scenes and it was nice! Do you ever get that feeling when you are watching a movie at the theaters and a "bad scene" comes on and you get that weird squirmy uncomfortable feeling...well nothing like that at all in here. It has it laughs and then it has it "teary" moments as well. Enjoy!

Random Purchase

I went shopping this week at Target for a baby shower and found the cuuuutest little booties! I gave in and bought them! It was a random purchase because we have no kids and not any on the way. I bought them because who knows that by the time we have a girl that they will still have them :]

Since Iam on the topic about babies, I went to the doctor this week and everything went well and he put me on Clomid so hopefully this will work! So hopefully we will be able to update within the next few months with some good news!

Happy Halloween!

So I had to dress Toby up for Halloween! I don't have kids yet so I thought it would be fun! When I got home I realized I bought him a size too small but it was still super cute!

baby steps.....

So guess what I finally did.....I FINALLY called the doctor and made an appointment! Its takien me about 5 months to call but I did it! So Iam excited and now I finally get to talk to him and get some questions answered! So Iam excited! Just thought I would share the good news :]

Vacation!

We just got back from a 4 day trip to Cali! It was a lot of fun and it was a good break from work and Arizona! The main reason for this trip was my younger brother! We took him to go see a friend knowing that it would be cheaper then him going all by himself! I wasn't really looking forward to it but it turned out to be a lot fun! I love vacations because that is when Bear doesn't really mind us going shopping :] Now we didn't go overboard but I was able to get a couple of new shirts without him getting a little upset with me about spending money!

We left at around 2am on Thursday and didn't get there until like 4pm! It was a longer drive then I thought but it was a fun drive! We went to Marine World on Friday and it was the perfect day! The wind was perfect and the weather was in the 70s! This six flaggs had elephants, and sea lions, penguins, sharks, whales, and dolphins! It was so awesome to see all those animals in real life and not on camera! It gave me a different likening to them and just how amazing they are!

On Saturday we visited San Fran and that was interesting! All I can say is that I love living in Arizona and that I can handle the traffic here! We went to Union Square and it was fun too see but I could never live there! There were herds and herds of people and let me say that some of them were kind of scary.... We went into this mall and it was HUGE! It was 8 stories high full of stores! I wasn't able to shop there because we were on a time limit due to the parking meter but it was fun just walking around and seeing everything!

And then on Sunday we made our way back home to Arizona! I started the drive out and it was fun! It was really windy so it was kind of a jerky ride but other than that it was fun! I have never driven in any other state than Arizona so I wanted to! Its not a big deal or anything but to me it was! While we were driving into Santa Clarita we saw a HUGE fire! We first saw a small patch of red smoke and then after about an hour the whole sky was covered with black and red smoke! I have never seen a fire so huge in my life in person and seen the effects of it.

So our trip was full of fun and interesting things to do! It was fun being with Bear and knowing that he didnt have to work and that we were able to spend time together! And it was fun spending time with my brother and sister! But being in a car for 12 cars can make you crazy and somewhat irretiable :]

These are some pics of us on the way home!

And here are some just random fun pics from our trip!

Its ok!!

Good Season D-backs!

Not a good start!

So this morning I was already running late to work and then to make it worse the way I get to work the fast way was closed and so I had to take a detour! So I get lost for a little bit and then finally find my way. I was going down Jefferson and I have NEVER taken that rode before and apparently there is a stop sign! I didn't see it so there was a slow car in front of me so I switched lanes and punched it and I guess drove right through the stop sign! It gets better....Not knowing there was a stop sign I didn't look for cops and then all of a sudden a motorcycle cop comes flying up behind me and gives me a ticket!!! This is my 3rd ticket! All I can say is that it wasn't for speeding! That is what my last 2 were for so Iam was happy about that! I was kind of hoping he would give me a warning since I was crying ( I heard that works sometimes) and since I didnt see it! Oh well! Now I have to go to court and Iam not really looking forward to that and paying the fee! So now I have to be real careful and watch for cops :]

But on a brighter note this weekend we will be going Cali with my brother and sister! Iam really looking forward to that! I need a vacation right about now! It will be nice to be away for a few days! Although Iam going to miss Toby very much! (Thanks Brooke for watching him) So the beginning of the week didnt start to good but the end of the week will even it out!

Girls Night!

So tonight I went out with a few girls from the ward and it was so much fun! We first went to the Relief Society broadcast and that was good to listen to! Although when I go to those and hear about important Visiting Teaching I just feel horrible because I am not very good at going! I need to get that in order now dont I!! And its not like I have inactive people to visit! I actually have people that I know and talk to! (sorry Tatum and Trisha) So other than feeling bad for not getting my act together with Visiting Teaching, it was really nice to get out for a few hours and hang out with the girls!

We get to talk about things our husbands roll thier eyes with....like watching our reality shows! You know they like it too but they just won't admit it in front of the other guy!( At home he sits next to me and asks questions about what is going on but when he is front of other guys "oh that show is so retareded!") Dont get me wrong...I love my husband very much and love spending time with him, its just nice for every once in a while to hang out with just girls!

Can you tell Iam a little bored!!

It pays to get sick at concerts!

Me and Bear at the concert!

So yesterday was the Rascal Flatts concert and I was looking forward to it all day! Although I wasn't looking forward to standing outside all night due to how HOT the weather is here in September!! Well Iam not used to standing in the heat for a long period so I bought a bottle of cold water ($4.00!!!) thinking it would help but unfortunately it did the worse! We walked all the way back to your spot on the lawn and was feeling fine. And then maybe 2 minutes I started feeling really sick and knew that I had to get out pretty fast! So me and Bear ran through all the thousands of people and when we got to end of the lawn that is where it happened.....

We stood on the side for about 20 minutes becuase I didn't want to walk all the way back to our spot and then have to run back! So then we started walking around thinking that maybe it would help to get some "fresh" air but that didn't really help either. After about an hour of standing and walking around we thought we would just leave so I could go home but then the best part happened! These two girls that worked there had 4 front row tickets and wanted to leave and asked if we wanted them! And of course I said yes! I could never afford front row and its impossible to get through on the radio to win them so it was a fast YES!! So it was me, Bear, my cousin, and her friend and we sat front row! We stood up at the stage for the first 10 mintues and it was soooo awesome! (My husband doesn't understand why I get so excited about seeing people in concert....I know they are normal people and all but they are famous people! He is just being a guy I guess.) Well anyways.....so after being in the front row for about 10 minutes I got sick again and had to leave! (times 3)

This was the 3rd time being at Cricket Pavillion in the middle of the HOT summer and have never gotten sick! And the one time I get front row tickets I get sick and can't even enjoy the concert! I was soooo bummed! So for the few minutes while I was at the front, it was so awesome and will never forget!

Bear said to get rid of the other pic of us but I love that one and he likes this one!

These were taking from the front row! It was so awesome!!
