</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">1 week previous to going to the hospital to have Ella I had my last check-up at my doctors office. I was only dilated to a 1 1/2 but I had started thinning so my doctor gave us the ok to plan on going to the doctor the next Saturday. My original due date was September 28 but due to the fact that my parents were leaving the country the first week of October, I talked my doctor into getting me started so I could have the help of my mom for the first week or so. Best decision I ever made. I was so blessed to have her helping me. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>When we arrived at the hospital around 8:00 am on Saturday I was feeling great, I had got a full nights rest the night before and I was ready for whatever was going to come. Nathan and I walked into the hospital and because I wasn't sure if I had dilated any more I asked him if we could take the stairs to the 4th floor just to help out the cause. So we did. As we walked up the stairs to the 4th floor I made it just fine only to find out that you cannot enter the 4th floor without a key card to get you in. I'm still not sure if we picked a random set of stairs that maybe were used for employees only or if you really cant get through. We then turned around, walked down the 4 flights of stairs and proceeded to the elevator. <br />
<br />
It was a quiet morning and we were welcomed by a few different people and got checked in to our room. I was flattered by 2 of the nurses who both told me I didn't look big enough to be having a baby yet. That is definitely not the way I felt but I was so grateful for their nice gestures. :) <br />
<br />
Once I got changed and set up the labor and delivery nurse came in and checked me and I hadn't progressed at all. After signing all the millions of documents and answering every possible personal question you could think of I was started with Oxytocin and we were ready to get on our way. <br />
<br />
Can I just say, I LOVED the labor and delivery nurses at Mckay Dee. They were all so amazing! It was a little different story for the nurses that take care of you after.. but I truly was so blessed to have awesome people working and keeping me entertained throughout the long day.<br />
<br />
A little while after getting put on the Oxytocin the fun contractions got started. At first they weren't too bad but by about 1:00pm I decided that my white knuckles and teeth marks on the bed were a good indication that it was time for the epidural. (Ok, I didn't bite the bed but oh how I wanted to.) That is an indescribable feeling and I respect and don't know how you women that don't get drugged handle that incredible pain. Props to you.<br />
<br />
At that point I was only at a 3 and started to get very frustrated. I knew that it had only been 5 hours but in my head I kept telling myself that I was going to have an abnormal first pregnancy and everything was going to go really fast. Wrong. Very Wrong.<br />
<br />
The doctor came in and broke my water about 4:00 (In her mini skirt and tank top, might I add. She was on call and looked like she had been having a fun day. I love her!!) We still weren't progressing and about every 30 minutes the nurses would come in and adjust my position to see if we could get anything to work. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">As time went on the nurses started keeping an eye on Ella's heart rate as it kept dropping really low when I would adjust my position and it started to stress me out so bad. I know the nurses could tell that I was starting to get nervous but the kept assuring me everything would be ok. At this point they were checking her heart rate about every 10 minutes and a couple times they had multiple people in our room watching the monitors. </div><br />
7:00pm rolled around and the nurse came back in to check on me and see where we were at. I was at a 6 and I think at that point they were trying to decide what to try next to get our little angel here. 20 minutes later the nurse came back into give me some more medication to get things rolling and I had already dilated to a 7 then 8.<br />
<br />
By 8:30 things were moving quickly and my OB was called to come back in. I remember having so many mixed emotions at this point. Frustrated that it was 9:00pm and we were still without a baby, Nervous that within a matter of minutes I was going to be experiencing something that I had been dreading but at the same time looking forward to for my whole life, Excited, Frightened for Ella's health and praying for her health, not knowing whether to cry or smile..all of you moms know what I am talking about. But overall, I was so excited to bring this little angel into Nathan and my life. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">9:30: After a few concentrated pushes and after laughing my head off at the nurses and doctors and Nathan having a discussion about Mr. Potato head while I am giving birth our little Ella took her first breath of air and started to cry. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">There are no words to describe that first moment of meeting Ella. I remember looking at Nathan and then looking at Ella and tears filling my eyes. What a miracle babies are. What a blessing it is to have them be part of our lives. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBkokJ2r6TLXpKV1lV3TsIb2IX6pwnfw2z8SqP2lRVDwXyj4b1E0a1MBfhtTAOe9yS8J_reXMxh0tQPHkX59cirdN7YdM9PQ4uGWTa87fo3wFxPGm_5DC0mCnswROIEJqjvrg2i2R0FSY/s1600/Ella+Birth+(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBkokJ2r6TLXpKV1lV3TsIb2IX6pwnfw2z8SqP2lRVDwXyj4b1E0a1MBfhtTAOe9yS8J_reXMxh0tQPHkX59cirdN7YdM9PQ4uGWTa87fo3wFxPGm_5DC0mCnswROIEJqjvrg2i2R0FSY/s320/Ella+Birth+(7).JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRZffIuMDsLCVHOiY714bqpmcdkI9kUtJjPZSIO4h0g6D1NZYgYSD4jdbE5CcP7k5mvGn8q0IkjwaQO0c3LlfP9gmcjOCMa0kfME0Mpk2_txvZ6pZU8w8uzGQEwwX9TI8lkKNDLqhjEeM/s1600/Ella+Birth+(6).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRZffIuMDsLCVHOiY714bqpmcdkI9kUtJjPZSIO4h0g6D1NZYgYSD4jdbE5CcP7k5mvGn8q0IkjwaQO0c3LlfP9gmcjOCMa0kfME0Mpk2_txvZ6pZU8w8uzGQEwwX9TI8lkKNDLqhjEeM/s320/Ella+Birth+(6).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW1QEbbFaUilUr3cGvxhIadh4lnuie1U3JsRHa-zE1zSZTmOn1oUMh6GJmnTr3jNyvsVUfV1iiiZi0i-koOPLLRp2wENPEJjGqe2g4-bme-AleMjpZUQTHUTDO5avlSiC08Z7jEKzGZtI/s1600/Ella+Birth+(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW1QEbbFaUilUr3cGvxhIadh4lnuie1U3JsRHa-zE1zSZTmOn1oUMh6GJmnTr3jNyvsVUfV1iiiZi0i-koOPLLRp2wENPEJjGqe2g4-bme-AleMjpZUQTHUTDO5avlSiC08Z7jEKzGZtI/s320/Ella+Birth+(3).JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAFWk9JAWPZq6hA6agAta-pihWYSSB0SBEe_qL6mfOkhq1RWYv1jmSJwXDr7VH8K0ZuScwYbJ0bRO34SJnbk-r2Xm94XEeGCdY2YE6hMdXjqT7Vjh8kzNh8_YilNcvCkAXyO7D-GHdkUQ/s1600/Ella+Birth+(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAFWk9JAWPZq6hA6agAta-pihWYSSB0SBEe_qL6mfOkhq1RWYv1jmSJwXDr7VH8K0ZuScwYbJ0bRO34SJnbk-r2Xm94XEeGCdY2YE6hMdXjqT7Vjh8kzNh8_YilNcvCkAXyO7D-GHdkUQ/s320/Ella+Birth+(5).JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

But I would still love for anyone who reads this blog to read it and fill me in with any advice you possibly have. I will get pictures posted as soon as I can (which is part of the reason for this post.) 2) There is not any part of this post that is me complaining. I may fill you in on some things we have going on at the moment but in the middle of the chaos I realize that I am so blessed in my life right now and I would not change it for the world. Heavenly Father knows what I can handle and it just so happens that I am in a part of my life right now where I am being tested to find out how selfless and supportive I can be to those who have given so much to me. Does that make any sense to anyone?<br />
<br />
First, I would like to let you all know that it has been 11 weeks since my last pregnancy update and things are continuing to go very well. I have been extremely blessed in the fact that I have had plenty of energy and very very few bumps along the way that have caused me grief. Ella is extremely active and it is so fun to be able to feel her kick and punch and head butt my ribs all day long. :) Really tho. I love it. I think that is going to be something that I miss about being pregnant. I have started to have small contractions (Braxton Hicks is I think what they call it) but nothing too serious so I don't worry too much about it and try to go on with my days. At this point the worst case I had was 3 in a row and now I only get one every couple days. Aint no thang. We had a doctors appointment today and she is weighing in at 3 lbs 9 ounces. Holy cow! That seems so little but at the same time we have 9 weeks to go so it is hard for me to think that she is now just starting to add on the real weight. I'm not going to lie. I am a little nervous. I am very familiar with how much that really is (I usually compare or think about the size and weight of the roasts and hamburger that we have packaged at the shop. Weird, I know. Poor girl gets compared to ground up carcas beef.) But I have a hard time thinking that I will have something that size come out of me. Now come the questions. <strong>How did you deal with that, all you moms out there? Were you as freaked out as I am?</strong> Don't get me wrong. I can't wait to meet the little girl, but I am already starting to panic a little about Labor and Delivery. Not really sure how to deal with it or <strong>is there something I should be doing now to get ready for it?</strong><br />
<br />
Ok all you experienced moms, here come a whole list of questions for you. Currently I am working 2 jobs and about 55 hours a week between both but cutting hours is not a choice to help solve this little pickle. 40 hours of that is mandatory to make sure food is on the table and we keep a roof over our heads in preparation to baby Ella and the other 15 hours is working up at the meat shop to hopefully give my hard working husband a break and relief from his 60-70 hour work week. We both work all day and get home around 7. We do a little more working, either paying business bills, updating numbers, payroll, Go to Young Womens and Young Mens ( I am the YW Pres and Nathan is the YM 1st counselor) and eventually we get to making dinner by 9 or 10, just in time to watch 1/2 to 3/4 of America's Got Talent before we both fall asleep on the couch. The next day we get up at 6 and do it all again. Like I said in the first. Not complaining. Just giving you the details so you can help me come up with a solution. <br />
We are trying so hard to get things ready for the baby but so far we have nothing. And when i say nothing, I mean nothing. So here come my questions. <strong>With the limited time we have left before we meet our sweet little Ella, what are the essentials we need to have ready? Crib? Stroller? Rocking Chair?</strong> Getting ready to have a baby is so exciting and there are about a million things on my list that I <u>want</u> to have, but I honestly want to know what was most beneficial to have ready when the baby comes. <strong>We are aware of our limited time to get things ready so what were some things that I need to be putting at the top of our priority list? Things that aren't such a good idea to do while the baby is around?</strong><br />
<br />
Alright, that is all of the energy I have now to write about but I am going to brain storm some random questions below so Please Please Please let me know what you think!!! If I get some good advice I will try to get pictures posted sooner rather than later ;)<br />
<br />
<strong>I am starting to not be able to sleep. Too Hot, Uncomfortable. Any ideas of how to relieve these symptoms?</strong><br />

<strong>I have been getting super sick about an hour after EVERYTHING that I eat. I thought it was a delicious corndog that I ate but then it has been going on for about a week. I am getting frustrated and annoyed at the inconvenience it is causing me in my busy schedule. Has this happened to anyone else? Any foods that I might try that won't make me sick?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I am soooooooo tired. Any good pick me up advice? I know its mostly the pregnancy and the working unlimited hours, but I need a good healthy energy booster. Anyone??</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>We bought a crib, opened it just to find out that it was the wrong color and the whole headboard was cracked. That style is gone due to a new "line" coming out. Where did you get your Crib? We are looking for a fairly inexpensive one. No idea on where has cute ones that aren't pieces of crap, ya know???</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Where did you get your stroller? What do you look for when buying a stroller? And Car seat? What is the difference?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I still can't get myself to buy Maternity clothes. I think I look fat (not pregnant, pregnant is cute and I can handle that) but starting to get way too tight. Where can I get cute inexpensive shirts that will look decent? Also, pants are getting a little too noticeable that I can't even get the zipper to budge an inch. Belly Band is starting to not cover it. I need some cute, comfy work pants to wear for the next 8 weeks. </strong>(That part is killing me, The fact that hopefully I will only have to wear them for a few weeks.)<strong> Which leads me to my next question.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>How long before I will be back in my "normal" clothes? Will I still be wearing maternity pants or will I need to buy a different "middle" size pants?</strong><br />
<br />
That is all I can think of right now but I would love any feedback that I can get. I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and read about pregnancy and getting ready to have a baby so I am relying on all of you to help me! <br />
<br />
Once again, I am so grateful for everything I have going on in my life right now. It has been super busy with multiple events in life but I would not change it for anything. Nathan and I have been so blessed to be able to prepare ourselves to bring a little baby into our family. We have been blessed with the success of our business and the wonderful support we have had from friends and family and neighbors. We are grateful for our callings in the church and for the love and support of our ward family. Although there have been bumps in the road, and we feel there are many more to go, there are no words to describe the thanks and appreciation we can give to everyone!!!<br />
<br />
We are truly blessed!The Binghams...http://www.blogger.com/profile/04560108148107488576noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740173772131171200.post-78851919038370424362011-05-13T20:24:00.000-06:002011-05-13T20:24:49.625-06:00Baby/Business UpdateWhich one to update first..<br />
The business is going great. This week is Nathan's last week at work and it has been bitter sweet for both of us. The bitter part is that he as worked at the Valley Market for almost 9 years and they have been so amazing to us. We are so grateful for all of the friendships that have been created and all the blessings that have come out of working there. It is kind of the ending of an era for both of us. The sweet part is that it is the beginning of new life that will hopefully be a change for the better. I am highly confident that all will work out well for us. Nathan has been working so hard day in and day out and even managed to double our phone bill through all the calls being made both in and out. We had some good friends help us with sending out contact letters to both the Ogden Valley and Morgan Valley to get the word out about our Opening. It has so far been a great blessing and we have had a great response to have a good start up. (Don't be offended if you didn't get one and you were from the Valley.) We sent out about 550 letters so if you didn't get one and want one please let me know. ;) I would be more than happy to send you one. Or you can just look up the business on Facebook and it will fill you in with all the details that were in the letter. <br />
I know I posted about this last time but I am so grateful to Nathan for working so hard to make this "future plan" a reality. He has had many stressful days and things don't always work out like you plan but he has found a way through them and made things even better. I have tried to help out as much as I can but there are so many things I don't understand so he just takes care of it. I am so blessed to have such a hard working husband who would do anything to make the best life for his wife and children.<br />
<br />
And, as you know.. as if the Business is not enough of a project to get going, we have the blessing of also bringing a little baby girl into the picture all at the same time. There is nothing like taking on some of life's greatest challenges all at once. Bring it on.<br />
Baby Ella is doing great! I had my 20 week appointment this week and I invited my Mom and Grandma to come. My favorite little sis Shandie was also in town so all 4 of us squeezed into the little room to watch the ultrasound. They just get better and better everytime. Doctor said she is about 10 ounces and after watching the video and seeing how long she measured, Nathan and I pulled out our little blue ruler and discovered she is about 6 inches.. give or take a little. It is so fun to see her grow and watch the progression she is making. At one point in the ultrasound we could see her face and I kind of freaked out a little. All of the sudden I was all "That's her face!" It was so amazing! You can see her little eyes and her little hands up against her cheeks.. I can't wait to hold her in my arms in just a few short months. Truly amazing.<br />
I was also able to feel her move (just a little) the other night. We were just laying in bed and all of the sudden I felt a little kick (I don't know how else to explain it) so I waited for a second and felt it again. I told Nathan that I thought I just felt her move and so I put his hand where she was kicking but he couldn't feel it. I only felt it a few times but it was so neat to be able to experience that. Hopefully soon she will kick hard enough that Nathan will be able to experience that with me. I know, I know. Everyone tells me to just wait until she gets the hickups and you cant sleep, but I can't wait. It really is a miracle. <br />
<br />
That is about all that is going on with us right now, but that doesn't mean we aren't busy ALL THE TIME. I love going through this adventure with Nathan and I can't wait for the many more to come. <br />
<br />
You are all invited to our Grand Opening of our Meat Shop May 28 in Morgan. We will be serving free Hot Dogs and Drinks from 12-2 and would love to have all the support we can get! (Not to mention Nathan makes the BEST Jerky I have ever tasted) <br />
<br />
And here is an updated picture of my some-what Baby Bump. This shirt is not exactly flattering and makes me look a little "Poofy" So I will try to get a better one up soon. <br />

I am 17 weeks along and feeling great! I can't believe the change in the way a feel the last couple weeks. I went from not wanting to leave the house and just sit in my pjs and hang out, to feeling refreshed and ready to go play! (But I still do love being in my pajama pants.) I am starting to show a little bit but still fitting comfortably in all of my clothes. Im enjoying it while I can.. Hopefully I will make it that way a little longer. We had our doctors appointment this week and she said everything looks great. She said she was perfect size so that made me feel good. With both of our families a little on the "small" side thats all we can hope for. Is a good size, healthy baby.</span></span><br />
<br />
One downfall I am having a hard time overcoming is the fact that I am ALWAYS hungry. And when I say always I mean it. That feeling has taken over my body and mind and its all I think about is food. So I am trying to make sure I keep healthy food in my sight so that is what I can turn to first, but man, it is hard. The location of my work is located in the middle of fast food central and it is so hard to just eat my homemade salad and not run across the street for a Cheddar Roast beef sandwich and a large order of curly fries. Nathan has been really good to come home and promote me to eat good food and encourage healthy dinner making. I love that boy.<br />
<br />
I could not do this without Nathan and all of his support. I was a handful to put up with before I was prego but unfortunately pregnancy does not always bring out the best in us girls. Half the time he talks to me it goes in one ear and out the other. Not on purpose. I just can't seem to take it all in and register it fast enough. It is a really weird feeling. I'm not a fan. I have to actually be consciously thinking about listening and putting it together in order to have a comment back. So I thank him for all of his patience and love he has given to me during this time in our lives.<br />
<br />
We are so excited to be having our little girl "Ella" and look forward to all of the adventures ahead of us. For those of you who don't know, we are in the process of getting our hgetting new paperwork ready and doing all the "fun" business owner stuff done. He works so hard all day everyday and I am so proud of all he has done. This opportunity came right at about the same time we found out we were pregnant and we knew it was going to be a challenge and we are ready for it. Nathan is the hardest working man I have ever met and I just hope I can keep up with him and make sure I am there to show all of my love and support back to him. As all new business owners, we are ready to have a couple years of struggle and sacrifice but are ready to gain all the benefits associated with it as well. We ask for all of your support and prayers. We will need it.<br />
<br />
I have thought about taking prego photos of my growing belly but Im not sure how I feel about it yet so you might see some coming and maybe not. Still deciding. Well that is the update with us and I cant wait for the next couple weeks to go get our 3D ultrasound. But I will make sure and post it!The Binghams...http://www.blogger.com/profile/04560108148107488576noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740173772131171200.post-67310815088077104382011-02-16T21:14:00.000-07:002011-02-16T21:14:30.874-07:00What I know at 8 weeks..<div style="text-align: center;">Some secrets are not meant to be secrets! They are way too exciting to keep to ourselves! We had our first appointment today and it was awesome! I am 8 weeks along and I am due September 28. The last couple weeks I knew I was pregnant but it is so amazing to go to the doctor and see your little baby and hear its little heartbeat. It took my breath away. What a little miracle babies are.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As far as my pregnancy so far, I have a confession to make. I must apologize to all the mothers that I have made fun of for the last couple years. I used to think that they were all exaggerating that they have to eat every 5 minutes and they are nauseous every 2 minutes. I am sincerely sorry. Please forgive me. I am lucky that it is not really bad but I definitely have had to change my eating habits in the last couple weeks. If I am not constantly eating, I am sick. But it is all worth it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhefItMiXi8RSCtaiSL1bgDQExrCJNKU0wLXbfGuADxkEfoM6cY4ke33XWxMr97frwY1TfzWDPIleBjLaR6YHbmj-83rJQx_L5CXRuF064FRs3Yv5H5t1WuH2ZEKo7PxC53G12eaYNY3Mc/s1600/DSCN3807.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhefItMiXi8RSCtaiSL1bgDQExrCJNKU0wLXbfGuADxkEfoM6cY4ke33XWxMr97frwY1TfzWDPIleBjLaR6YHbmj-83rJQx_L5CXRuF064FRs3Yv5H5t1WuH2ZEKo7PxC53G12eaYNY3Mc/s320/DSCN3807.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

We have a custom built trailer that will be available to come to you when you have recently gone hunting and have brought home some meat! We will be able to skin, cut, grind, wrap and make jerky out of your game right at your house within a couple hours.</p><p align="center">We have a website going and would love for you to check it out! <a href="http://www.binghamscustommeats.com/">www.binghamscustommeats.com</a> We will start doing business by the end of the summer so be sure to tell all of your friends about us before the hunting seasons start. To help get our business going we will also be selling shirts and hats on our website to help with the initial costs of getting a business running.</p><p align="center">I am so lucky that I have such an amazing husband like Nathan who has been the brains of this operation. For those of you who dont know him, he is the most dedicated, hard working man I have ever met. He has put so much time and effort into getting this ready. The countless phone calls, the cardboard drawings that he would think up at work and write them down and everything else he has done. It has definitely been an adventure and we can't wait to see the benefits that it will bring to us and our family.</p><p align="center">We love you all and thank you for all of your love and support!</p><p align="center">Sharlie & Nathan</p>The Binghams...http://www.blogger.com/profile/04560108148107488576noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740173772131171200.post-59204599711300494042010-01-16T17:12:00.000-07:002010-01-16T18:27:05.571-07:00Hawaii 2010<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYHOSboY1vlOYF2mLtWC-0hliNobJX9vEKvjg3B63j1yZVVt3BrG19LYpBTz4nqNt0nDMdeUljBLiE6exPT972w6qNfKgOKkZLjHrBOL90woL3Y5B_sIEl0bSx5cHwXmHjaDB7-12JGl8/s1600-h/Hawaii+2010+646.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427500593176877138" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYHOSboY1vlOYF2mLtWC-0hliNobJX9vEKvjg3B63j1yZVVt3BrG19LYpBTz4nqNt0nDMdeUljBLiE6exPT972w6qNfKgOKkZLjHrBOL90woL3Y5B_sIEl0bSx5cHwXmHjaDB7-12JGl8/s320/Hawaii+2010+646.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"> What a great way to start the New Year! Don't ya think? We got back from Maui on Sunday and we were there for a week! We went with some friends and had a blast! The weather was perfect.. we stayed right across the street from one of the best beaches.. we ate junk food and shaved ice the whole time.. it was freaking amazing! I can't wait to go back! Someday...<br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Funny story.. Our friends Carlene and Kevin left the same day we did but because we booked the tickets so late we had to fly out on different flights and had a few layovers. They had to be there at about 7:00 in the morning and we didn't have to be there until 9. Well, we got there early and made it through securtiy in about 10 minutes so we were just sitting in the lobby waiting to board the plane and we got called up to the front desk.. The lady said that they had over booked our plane and asked if we could change flights. She told us that we would get 2 roundtrip tickets and the flight she could fit us on flew out 10 minutes later than our regular flight and it was a direct flight! SWEET!! It was a hard decision.. Not. We were so excited and we beat Carly and Kevin to the airport.. Isn't that awesome! Alright.. enough talk.. more pics. They are few and random.

Way to go Cory.. I am ashamed to say that I do not have any pictures of his graduation, sorry guys.. but I do have plenty of the rest of our trip. Cory and Sarah were nice enough to be our tour guides, even though they have done it a million times, and take us around to see all of the LDS church sites and up to Niagra Falls! It was absolutely amazing! I want to say thank you again to Cory and Sarah for letting us stay at their home and let us eat all of their food and drive them crazy for a week! We love you guys and can't wait to see you soon!The Binghams...http://www.blogger.com/profile/04560108148107488576noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740173772131171200.post-80346967843784855942009-08-17T14:40:00.000-06:002009-08-17T14:49:28.550-06:00Truck anyone?Since we got our new baby, we are sad to say we must get rid of this one.

Sick. So to defend myself and to show who is boss, I followed him into the bedroom and spit my full, foamy, toothpasty spit all over his face. Then he picked me up, threw me into the bathtub (In my clean pjs) and turned on the cold water. KO.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>A couple days later, after much thought, I decided I would be funny and twist tie the water squirty thing in the kitchen to on and so when Nathan came home he would get it right in the face. Genius right?</div><br /><div>Wrong. Yes he did get sprayed, like one squirt, but I was the one who got a FULL gallon of cold fridge water dumped on top of my head.. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Lesson learned? Not a chance.

While we were painting there was a knobby thingy under my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">kitchen</span> sink that broke and so water was leaking everywhere and my kitchen floor flooded and then I went downstairs to put some laundry in and this is what I found in the downstairs bathroom.. the water had leaked through the floor of the kitchen and you can't tell by the pic but there was an easy inch of water on the floor and the carpet was soaked.. lovely right.. the toilet was all bubbles so we had to get a new one of those.. the tiles in the ceiling were soggy and one broke.. So I called Nathan and he came home and looked at it.. said it was an easy fix..</p><p>So we went to Home Depot to get some new parts and when we got home we needed to find the main shut off valve for the water so we could change the fixture.. it was no where to be found.. So Nathan being the amazing man that he is.. traced some of the water pipes and found where it should be.. Funny thing though.. there was a wall in front of it.. </p><p>He had to cut a hole in the wall and pray that it was under there.. It was.. the people that built this house must have been <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">genius</span>..

I have some smaller ones that are all in one book that I still love but these ones will be easier for me to study out of. For my birthday Nathan took me on the frontrunner down to Salt Lake and we went and saw the Joseph Smith movie and to dinner and then we hung out at Gateway for a little while! It was so much fun.. I left my camera sitting on my dresser.. Go me.. But I had a wonderful 21st birhday! Nathan did an awesome job putting it together for me and making it so special!

This post might end up being a long one so I hope you can make it.. take a big deap breath!!<br /><div><div><div>ALright.. First things first...</div><br /><div>For those of you who don't know, We found out Ernie had Parvo. He started throwing up about 2 and 1/2 weeks ago and we didn't really think anything of it. It went on for a couple of days but since we are so used to him eating anything and everything he can find.. for example.. socks, his blanket, grass, sticks, small rocks, plastic bags that he has dug up in the back yard.. we weren't worried about it. We later noticed that he was not eating anything and he was not drinking anything and we hadn't noticed he had pooped either so we got a little worried. Then that Sunday we were heading to the valley to a farewell and Nathan decided to call a family friend that is a vet and just ask her what she thought about the situation. She told us that he was dying and if we didn't take him to the animal hospital right then she was afraid he would be dead in a couple hours. We decided to skip the farewell and run home and take him to the vet.. I seriously cried the whole day.. It was the scarriest thing ever.. Long story short he had a blowout in the office right before we were going to take him into surgery to see what was wrong, and the vet could smell the Parvo in is poo right away.. Way to go Doc.. that is pure talent right there.. it was the most awful smell ever.. but we were so grateful that we were able to find out what it was right then because he was so bad we probably would have lost him during the surgery. I would explain what Parvo is but it is quite the Sickness so if you are interested I found a lot of good info on <a href="http://www.peteducation.com/">http://www.peteducation.com/</a> . The doctor then gave him tons of shots and IV's and we were able to take him home. I guess with Parvo since it is a virus, they can't treat it.. they can only treat the symptoms so when we took him home we had no idea if he was going to pull out of it. We gave him the medicine that we got and in a couple days he was back to his old self.. Oh ya.. and the doctor said he probably got it from outside so there was no way to prevent it.. but I have chloroxed everything I possibly can so we can make sure no other puppies get it around us.. In the end.. we are so blessed that our fat little boy was able to fight it off and is back to his crazy, hyper self again.. this is a pic that I took a couple days ago.. he is such an odd dog..<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300951931790181810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNnqE9613746AUlXKzrV8y43ab3IAb_4BqyJsp0imK_oVcLguv2v6bhW5fA8h5HXb93x7hrsc_iFNqoJxLe5mUv9vYwh1v595sSCJGDsZZnDL2Cs1g_B7FDhZSO0U0IG-6sBSVvkak7g/s320/January+2009+001.JPG" border="0" />Next.. Since we got married I have wanted to get a bedspread that I can theme our room around and now I have one! Ashlee told me told me to look on Ebay and so I did and I love it!

Happy New Years! Well, we invited a bunch of friends to come hang out New Years Eve and these are the only two that showed up! WOO HOO! We must stink or something.. sorry guys..<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289156121268537762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJNmf5Cr_0nCUHZ4Tb5yjiN_CZV_Oa8MUGamruW2QfFz0VbIeuA5oY0ILXxlJbg9cpa2k90FZRp_pnXNJcXLGq0IwhAfEGhxn0zfmcrwX4h0gUjmxyb29CPsUKdJ9hP38mUI6hiPP0-Sc/s320/Christmas+2008+024.JPG" border="0" />No it really was a last minute plan so we will forgive all of you that did not come. We might not next time.. but this time you are off the hook.. you know who you are.. <div><div><br /><div>Well since there were only four of us we decided to start up a good game of Hand and Foot. I love that game. It is nice to sit down and play games with friends rather than going out to eat or watching a movie or something. It was a nice change. We were watching the clock and listening to the TV so we could see the ball drop but I guess we got a little too caught up in our game. All of the sudden Kellees phone went off to say that it was midnight but when we looked at the television we still had 3 minutes. Nathan picked up the remote and pushed the "live tv" button and of course the tivo had been rewinded so we didn't see it on time.. Oh well.. what do you do.. </div><br /><div>We had a great game of hand and foot and me and Kellee kicked trash the whole time.. until the last round. Nathan and Bryce went out before me or Kellee had even touched our foot. It was dumb. I think they cheated.. ;)<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289156113485697890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW90plh4ox0mriy-H2xwr7BN7AfP3WCkthwRiw16FzBSY0eqd5Q1obw3hPwCvFbtqg5n9kUl6Oewr7f4Uor_gLMalTgx_9SZtAJefbt8EYlk8dVMPMvxsOLHl0EG7coaMJXNksElpfluk/s320/Christmas+2008+021.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289156127088570306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5zmdg5JaKINI1elvjugSjT_c7GuYfkWTjOThqlc5xzJfC0kmMX4gK0gmrELxscKvJhNYz8T6ifbIBTSAwhWgjnt_aCkgHJ-E0kgLgYsnzuG0J77u1VGmotKAvpCiv0H2Bds6W35mIQT4/s320/Christmas+2008+027.JPG" border="0" />The Binghams...http://www.blogger.com/profile/04560108148107488576noreply@blogger.com0
