I made it out alive... barely...

Girls camp was such an adventure. I had a bad cold and it turned into a sinus infection, and I experienced my first taste of morning sickness on top of it all! But I stayed the whole week, and LOVED it! I can't even begin to explain how much I love each girl, and having this calling has really helped me to grow in ways I never expected. Our theme was missionary work. Each girl was assigned a country and a companion. I was the "Zone Leader" over Mexico (the Laurels). We gave ourselves mexistaches and nice accents and we had so much fun! Im trying to soak it in, because rumor has it our ward will be split soon and I will probably not be in a ward with hardley any of these girls. I couldnt ask for a better calling, and better girls!!!

Our wedding dance

This is the song that KC and I danced to at our wedding.

Grandma Freddie blew our cover...

so, for those of you who read the blog often you might have noticed a suspicious comment made by my mom... We were going to wait a few weeks to get out and tell the world, but after spending some time with our friends it became a little too obvious to hold back any longer... I mean, what girl has to pee every 5 min, and suddenly has no desire what-so-ever to eat foods that we all know she used to love??? A PREGNANT ONE! Yes, we hadnt even hit our 1 year when we found out, but its great news and we are both soooo excited to have a little carpet stayner running around. NO we arent going to choose the name carpet, although it has been suggested by many... we might lean towards something like: rug, or bed... too bad blanket was taken already by Michael Jackson.

For those of you who want to track the months, We are due March 7th 2008 :)

below are pictures from when we told our parents the news...

White Trash Weekend

White Trash weekend happend to fall on our anniversary! Great way to begin our second year together. We stayed in the Carriage room at anniversary inn, and then spent some time with Grimmy and friends at Benson Lake. Then of course as the night began, we went to the demolition derby and... KC did it again! They cancelled the dance contest this year, but that didnt stop KC from making his way to center stage... Him and Rafe RAN... yes RAN, the ATV rodeo barrels. It took some pleading to the staff, but with our section cheering them on, they just couldnt say no. Here are some highlights from our weekend.

The best aunt ever!

This is my redheaded nephew AlexZander and me at Ikea... The best baby in the world!

HAPPY 1 YEAR!!!

I can't believe our 1 year anniversary is here! It seems like just yesterday KC was jumping out of a cake with a ring in his hand, and yet at the same time, I feel like we have been together forever! If there is such a thing as a soul mate, KC is truly mine! I couldnt ask for a better friend, and companion for eternity! When I think about our dating history and how everything just "fell into place" I know that we were meant to be together. This first year has been so amazing! We have done so many fun things together! I cant wait to see what the next year holds for us! I LOVE YOU CUTE HUSBAND!!!

We haven't been on South Park yet, but these two look like they could become regulars on the show should they need a replacement next time Kenny dies :) There's KC the half blind Mormon boy that moved in next door, or the Red Headed Ginger "Day-Walker"girl that likes ice cream and photogrpahy.

the four eyed freak

some people go through ugly phases. I went through an ugly lifetime... seriously... why did my mom let me go to school? those bangs are amazing!

Nature calls

KC and I went on a hike for the 4th of July. He jogged up the hill like it was a marathon as I mosied along chasing butterflies, stoping to rest, and drinking all of our water. I did get some cool pics, allthough Im no Adam Barker with the nature stuff...

Inspired by Major Leagues "Wild thing"

I decided I might become a hairstylist... what do you think?

what will our kids look like??

I cant stop thinking about it! so I went back to our baby pictures and died laughing at the idea of mixing these two sets of genes! Our kids better wear cool clothes like us...

Its bound to get more exciting than this!

I promise my blog wont always be this lame... here are just a few of our upcoming plans soon to be posted on the Carpet Stayners blog...
