It seems like ages since I have written anything. With all the fall activities and happenings lately, I have just been too busy to even think about blogging. Since I am feeling alot better now (I'm finally past my first trimester) and slowly getting my energy back, I decided it was time to play catch up. So here is a brief recap on all our recent doings.
HALLOWEEN
We had a blast this year trick or treating. My sister's neighbor invited all of us to their Halloween block party so there was tons of food and even a little fire pit. The house lots are so big (the neighborhood is gated and on a golf course so it's pretty fancy) that they got a trailer to go trick or treating because it would be way too far to walk. Billy was a fat princess in a tutu, Logan was Optimus Prime and I was a lame mom who didn't dress up. Logan got so much candy and had so much fun!
ANNIVERSARY
Billy and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary on November 16th. I have to say that I probably have the best husband ever. We try to stick to the traditional gift list and this year Billy totally out did me. It was candy and iron. He went to the candy store and got me all of my favorite candy and then got me these cute little cast iron skillets to make brownies and cookies in. Crystal and Scotty watched Logan for us while we went to dinner at Carraba's which is one of our favorite places. It was a great day!
BABY'S FIRST PICTURE
The time had finally come to go hear the baby's heartbeat, but when Billy and I got there the nurse tried for about 15 minutes and couldn't find anything. I was totally calm on the outside, but on the inside I was really starting to get nervous. They decided to take an ultrasound to make sure he was doing ok. They found him pretty easy, but the dr. took a couple of minutes to get the picture steady. Finally he did, and all of a sudden you could see the baby kicking and punching! I was so excited just to see any movement! It was awesome! I can't wait to find out what the sex is. Billy and I are hoping for another boy so keep your fingers crossed!
THANKSGIVING
We went up to St. George this year to spend Thanksgiving with Billy's family. It was great to see everyone, but I was totally bummed because it rained all day long. We didn't get to go outside to throw the football around or anything. I HATE THE RAIN! My sister and I sorda have this tradition that if we don't get to spend the actual day together then we do a turkey dinner that weekend together. So on Sunday, we went to their house and had the whole spread again. It was delicious and we had leftovers which is always a plus!
HOSPITAL
We had our first trip to the hospital with Logan on Saturday. He was playing at the playground and went mouth first into the metal steps of the slide. He immediatley started crying and his mouth was already full of blood by the time I got to him. As far as I could tell, he had a pretty bad cut on his gums and the inside of this lip. I waited an hour or so to see if he would be ok, but his mouth just kept bleeding so Billy and I decided we should take him to the hospital just to be safe. Luckily, he didn't need any stitches. He just got some penicillin and some Tylenol with Codiene for the pain. He is all better now, but the whole day wore me out. The funniest part of the whole experience was when they were trying to take his temperature. He wouldn't let them take it under his tongue so they had to do a rectal one. As soon as they stuck it in he started crying "ouwie in my bummy." I felt bad for the little guy, but couldn't help but laugh.
Whew, that was alot. My early New Year's Resolution for 2009 is to make sure to write something at least every 2 weeks. Since I am not great at writing in a journal this will have to suffice for now, and I expect all of you guys to make me stick to it of course! :)

I love to read blogs! I haven't seen you in years, but now I get to see what's going on with your cute little family!
First of all, love the costumes!
Second of all, love that you are having another baby! I can't wait to know what it is either! I think it should be a little Jenner, so all that cute curly red hair won't go to waste!
Third of all, we are coming to Vegas for Chad's cousin's wedding! So of course we will be hanging out the Billster and Jenner!
We'll talk soon.
Glad to catch up on what's going on! I think it's great that you guys are hoping for another boy! I love having two boys, it's so much fun!
