BOY or GIRL?

Pink or Blue? That is the question.

I have been asked a number of times since being pregnant. Do you think it's a boy or girl? Do you have a preference? Good question!

Before I was pregnant I always thought I wanted a girl. Since I have been pregnant I still want a girl, but I want a boy too. I JUST CAN'T decide! Good thing its not up to me huh?

The reasons I want a girl are:

- If you know me, I am a GIRLY GIRL! I want a little girl to make pretty and put bows and dresses on. Hello, I only make and sell them! One I can play dolls with and one that maybe one day people will say she looks like you! I would love to see Nolan with a little daughter and see his world wrapped around her little finger. Nolan would be a great "girl dad".

The reasons I want a boy are:

- What is cuter than a little baby boy with a cute little vest and polo shirt? Will has really warmed me up to the idea of a boy. BOYS ARE SO low maintenance when it comes to emotions!! Boys just seem a little easier than girls. NOlan would have a buddy to do all the boys things he loves so much, even at the expense of me being left out :)

So all in all, as everyone says: It doesn't really matter either way as long as we have a healthy baby that's all that matters! Our doctor said that she can usually tell by week 14 and our next doctors appointment is on Thursday and I will be 14 and a half weeks. So if baby cooperates and all goes as we hope..we could know the gender in a few days!!! We'll cross our fingers but you can never be sure what the little pnut will do! Make sure to vote on our poll- BOY or GIRL.. and stay tuned for the news.

Happy 3 we'll BE!!!!!!

We have a little secret.......








We're expanding our home by two little feet!!!
WE are SOOOO EXCITED!!



January-when we found out--teary eyes


Feb. 21- we told our families.

They are all so excited for this little baby to come!!
EXPECTED TIME OF ARRIVAL: Septemeber 27, 2010

Random Update

So as of now, we still don't have a computer. We found out that our mother board was going out. We were able to save all of our pictures and files thank goodness!! So I feel like I have lost touch with our blog. Nolan is so busy that who knows when we will be able to go looking for a new computer! So anyway here is a little updated post with random things that are on my mind.

1. Will's little brother will be arriving here soon! He is due to come April 10th. I can't wait to see this little guy and be able to take care of a baby again!

2. I love NOlan. He is so busy with work and school. He juggles everything so well! He is so loving and treats me so good. I often times (especially lately) feel like I don't deserve him. He is inspiring to me. He truely loves life and makes me laugh everyday.

3. I love my family. I have thought about moving away from utah, or even 30-40 min. away from where they live. Now I think I couldn't live more than 15 min. away. It would kill me. I love going over for sunday dinner and laughing and talking for hours!

4. I have learned so much about friends lately. Some that opened up to me about amazing things they have experienced, hard times, and all who have give me hope and encouragment. They make me feel like I am not alone in things I experience. I am grateful for the new friendships that have opened up for me in the last little bit.

5. I am grateful for friends..PERIOD. I don't know how I could live in a world with no friends.

6. I am so ready for spring! I am also ready for some summer watermelon!

7. I need to cook more.

8. I need more energy.

9. My little sister is getting married in May. I can't believe it, she still seems so young to me. Her fiance and her and quite a match and seem so happy!

10. Am I really turning 24 this april? And I have already been married 3 1/2 years. CRAZY!

11. I want a house.

12. I LOVE NOLAN

13. I am lucky to have him.

14. I love my little WILL!

15. Hopefully soon I can share pictures on this blog, and hopefully soon we can get our own computer.

SO LONG FOR NOW

Kids say the cutest things!

The other day I was having a little bit of a bad day and I was on the phone and a few tears escaped my eyes when this cute little guy said this:

Will: "Ja Ja (jani) have water on face?"

Me: "Yes, Jani has water on face"

Will: (very concerned look, and intent concentration on these water dropplets) " Wipe it off wiff towel"

He proceeded to get a towel from the kitchen and wipe my face off. Now if that doesn't make you smile and turn a bad day into a good one, I don't know what will.

I love this little guy so much! He is a big part of my life and makes me smile everyday! I love you Will! (thanks tiff I got the pic from your computer)

Please hang in there.

Dear fellow blog readers. I know that I have been completely horrible at updating our blog. There are a number of reasons. I won't bore you with them. I want to be better, I want my blog to be interesting like it used to. I used to take pictures of everything just so i could update our blog weekly. I have found that those who update their blogs often, get the most readers. To be honest our life just isn't that exciting! I hate to bring this up now, but our poor computer is at the end of its life. "The blue screen of death" is showing itself everytime it turns on, you can't go anywhere from this screen. We might have to break down and buy a computer for the first time. So there you have it, our blog might continue to be boring for awhile, so please I am begging you..don't give up on us, hang in there while we control the disasters that have poured upon us, car troubles, computer troubles, ect. We will return.

It's a start

It is a start of a new year and along with that comes New Years Resolutions! I have never really been one for New Years Resolutions from start to finish. I have good intentions. Let me tell you about a difference in the plain ole' life of Janica. I am determined to finish a resolution.

It all started when it was my turn for the Young Womens lesson. Open the manual and what do we find? A lesson on setting and achieving goals! Perfect..I am not the best at this. So I made a work sheet for everyone in our class that walks you through the steps of making goals. I wanted to cheat a little by starting with something easy. Something I knew I could do. So I started with reading my scriptures daily. Told the girls that this is what I was doing and I would report back next week.

I then brought up the subject of having someone to help you with your goals. So I tested the waters. I told them something I wanted to do is to start running. I want to start with a 5K this spring/summer. I have never been a runner but have always wanted to be one of those SICK people who actually enjoy it. So I made a questionaire and asked if anybody would be interested in doing this with me. We would get together 3 times a week and do a little program to get us up to a 5k. I got NONE of my questionaires back. It didn't really surprise me but I thought I would ask.

So the next week I brought it up again to more of the girls and leaders. I got 3 other people who wanted to do it as well!! I was thrilled! So we planned a date and time and I am happy report: we had a full turn out last night for running group! We all did well, and seem to be around the same level. I feel like we are all extremely excited and motivated, so I am happy that I don't have a bunch of flakes on my hands, because that could mean an incomplete goal for me.

So here I am posting this for everyone to see. Now wouldn't that be pretty embarassing for me, if I don't compete my goal of running a 5k. I know some of you that fit into the "SICK" people category, are thinking...a 5k that's it? Well its a start for me, and it will be an accomplishment for me, a non-runner to run over 3 miles. GO ME!!!
