Happy Anniversary and 3 1/2 months Pregnant!

So it has been a while since we last blogged! In the last couple of weeks we have been really busy! We went to see lights with family at temple square which was fun and i love christmas time! Also we got to celebrate our first anniversary as a married couple!! It was the best anniversary i could have ever asked for! My most amazing husband out did himself yet again on a special day!!!

First Josh got up way early to go to the store and buy breakfast items to make my favorite breakfast meal! He made me french toast, eggs, sausage, and bacon (which i now love and i use to just tolerate it!) and while he made us breakfast i opened my gifts!
He bought me a dozen roses! ( the first ever!!!!) and a cute sweater i can wear while being pregnant and not because it is stretchy! and two dvds: Look who is talking now ( i love it!) and the family man! both of which are great!!


Then as if that was not enough he told me we had dinner reservations at 4pm, so i got really excited!!! when it came time to leave for dinner he blindfolded me in the car and told me i it was going to be a big surprise! so of course i was excited! i swear we drove all over salt lake county!!! i began to get a little car sick and then he told me we were there. he unblindfolded me andwe were in front of jill and dave's house. So we went inside and it was the most romantic set up! there were candles and sparking cider and the plating of HALIBUT was amazing!!! Josh and i both love Halibut! and because it is so expensive we dont usually get it but it was amazing! Jill and Dave out did themselves when they set this up for us! there was even christmas in the background and everything! i could help but be overwhelmed!!!! Josh set all this up for me and i felt like a million dollars!!!

I have the most amazing man as my husband! i could have picked a better match for me! I am blessed everyday i spend with him!! he makes me love life and i enjoy spending time with him and his sarcasm (even if it irritates me!!)

i honestly could have dreamed of a better anniversary full of relaxation and love! it was better then going out to a restaurant and i was more personal and thought out! oh and in case any of you were wondering what he got for our anniversary i bought him Jeff Dunham tickets 11th row to see him Jan. 22nd in SLC. He was thrilled! we have been wanting to go see him since we got married!


So here is a pregnancy update, i know you all are dying to know! lol So i am in my second trimester and i am finally feeling pregnant! lol i have double in size in just a few weeks! this picture is me sucking in lol. i am about 3 1/2 months along now and we get to find out what we are having on Jan. 5th!! when we went for our 12 week check up everything is growing as should be! and we have a healthy heartbeat of 160, now the old wives tales say that is a girl, but the doctor says it is still 50/50. i ahve yet to have morning sickness, and i am loving being pregnant. I dont really crave anything like " I need this NOW!!!" but i am definitely loving bacon and chicken and sadly french fries! i would say i want at least one a day so i guess that is my craving lol. Josh has been way supportive with him working long holiday hours and coming home tired and sore he asked what he can do for me instead of himself and it amazes me! (dont worry he gets foot rubs and he gets heat packs! lol)
so there is our update for now! we are excited to go up to rexburg and spend christmas up there, i will miss my family as always and i assume i will get emotional because of my hormones! lol but it comes with every holiday for me! lol. so of many of you we will see you very soon!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Thanksgiving Week in Portland

So this past week Josh, Michelle, Toby, and myself all made the 11 hour drive to Portland from Salt Lake City. The drive was not too bad i slept the whole time lol. Josh was a trooper and drove most the way! then again he loves to drive!
Once we got there we had such a fun filled week!!! we taught my dad to play Rockband and he loved it! we couldnt believe how much we all enjoyed just playing games together! We go to go to Thai food and i was so excited because that is my favorite food besides lasagna! But i think of everything we did that making thanksgiving dinner together was by far the most exciting and enjoyable time!
As you can tell josh was dressed up in his thanksgiving best and made the mash potatoes the old Compton way with lumps!!! lol
we all had a blast cooking and enjoying the time we had together! when we left i truely was sad to leave my dad! i swear in the last couple of years that we have gotten so much closer and he is one of my best friends and always will be!! it is so nice to be so close to him! he is an amazing person and i cant wait to see him again!

Josh had a blast working on my motorcycle! lol my dad gave him to manual and he went to work! he was so cute how giddy he got when he did all this... too bad we werent there long enough for him to put it all back together. so too bad we have to go back! lol

I went on thanksgiving to get the paper as usual for black friday coupons, when i got out of my car i saw a swarm of ducks coming at me! i swear there was like 50 ducks and they followed me all the way to the front door of albertson's! it was nuts!!!

10 weeks down 30 to go!!!!

As you all can tell i am doing a weekly update of how the pregnancy is going. For many of you, you might think wow she is over doing it, but it is our first baby i am a bit overly excited! lol so sorry! =) lol
So it has been exactly 10 weeks today and alot has changed lol. First off i have had the worst cramps ever, but they arent where normal cramps are they right right below my belly button, so i kind of freaked out an called my nurse and she said it is fine and that it is normal, they are stretching pains. (wonderful i know!!!) so the baby has grown from the size of a grape to a kumquat! it is crazy how it triples in size!!! Right now the baby has fingers (not webbed fins anymore) and if we were to take a microscopic picture we would see little fingernails and peach fuzz on its body!!! so it is exciting!!

TADA here is the baby bulge at 10 weeks!!!

9 weeks and Toby

This past weekend we went up to rexburg to help jared install some cabinets. On the ride up there i used my coat as a blanket and Toby turned it into his own personal hammock! he cracks me up!!! he is such a funny dog and has such a great personallity! it is so funny to look down and see these posses lol one is where he is sleeping literally!!!!


And here is my 9 week(it is actually 9 weeks and a couple days) photo, it is growing like crazy the baby has double in size once again, it has gone from a grape to a kumquat!!! it is nuts how fast the little one grows!!! so here is the weekly update!!!



So after terressa commented on this post i realized i didnt write anything about the doctors visit lol. So i am sorry everyone lol here is the update. We went to the doctors office on Monday morning. I was really nervous because my most wonderful (sarcasm) brother in laws thought it would be really funny to tell Josh how if we went to the doctor too early to see the baby on a abdominal ultrasound that they would see it vaginally, so i was freaking out. Jared got a huge kick out of this by the way. So we waited for like an hour and a half to see the doctor. My doctor is amazing he is really funny and he just gives off this get vibe like as if he knew us forever. So anyways we went in the room and had the normal stuff done by the nurse before the doctor came in. Now this was not my first ever ultrasound, i had an ultrasound on my gallbladder before so i knew what they were going to do. the goop was freezing as usual, at first we just saw a big black hole. lol Josh asked if that hole was the baby and the doctor kind of laughed as said no, he scrolled in ont he bottom of the hole and pointed to what looked like a peanut and said that is your baby. I couldnt believe it!! it was kind of sereal, i mean i knew we were pregnant but it didnt really hit i guess until i saw that peanut! it was the cutest peanut ever! lol so the doctor started measuring the little guy and it turns out we were 4 days further along then we thought! so that was way exciting!!! so now we are the June 18th and not the 22nd. Then he was like lets listen to the heartbeat, i was shocked i was like you can hear it already??? and he said of course! and so we got to hear the heartbeat, that was the most beautiful thunder sound ever! lol i held back my tears dont worry! that could have been embarassing! lol So now we have ultrasounds of our peanut and i am in love with them! lol i look at them everyday! i cant help it! lol so we have our 12 weeks and 4 days ultrasound on Dec. 8th and then we find out what we are having on Jan. 5th! 4 days before my birthday! so it is like a little birthday gift to me! lol so there is the update i am so sorry i totally forgot to let everyone in on our first baby ultrasound experience! hope you enjoyed! lol

Our many faces!!!

Updates!

So this last week has been fun! We had our first snow day here which meant Toby's first experience with snow. Let me tell you it was so funny to see him run outside as he normally does and then freak out cuz it was cold and he had no idea what the heck it was! lol so we video taped Toby and decided to post it for you!



Also our dog loves to brush his teeth with a toothbrush. i know it is bizarre but it is so funny to watch him go at it! we have the cleaniest teeth in town!!!! lol Our puppy is so cute! you cant help but love him and all his funny little tricks he does!



So here is the baby update, i am 8 weeks along and we have our first doctors appointment on Monday! We are so excited and we cant wait to see what our little baby looks like. Right now he is the size of a kidney bean and next week he will be a grape. so it is amazing to watch how it doubles in size!! it is such a great feeling knowing i am caring one of God's greatest creations!!!
I havent really had morning sickness much i have had it for about 4 or 5 days total. but those days are miserable! i just have to keep carbs in my stomach and i am good to go. so here is my eight weeks belly. nothing much i know but it is my little fat roll for now! lol it is was makes it hard to fit in some of my pants! lol

After we visited the graves we went shopping (my favorite past time!!) i was showing JoJo the crib that Josh and I were saving up to buy for the baby and she sprung out of nowhere that she was going to buy it for us! I was so shocked! i couldnt believe that she was buy this gift for us!! after all she does! Well of course we got it home and handy Josh went right to work on it! when we woke up the next morning it was all finished! i couldnt ask for a better crib! it is cherry wood and it comes with a changing table and a hamper and everything! plus it is a 4 in 1!!! so it can change to a toddler bed ad a day bed and a full bed!!! i am so blessed to have such a wonderful and caring aunt who spoils this little blueberry before it is even born!!!



On that same note, Josh and I received a care package from my dad for halloween! ( he gets in these weird moods sometimes!) I was anxiously awaiting the package knowing darn well there would be moonstruck chocolate in there! Which is by the way the best chocolate in the world!!! it is made locally in Portland. Anyways it finally came!! so as a ripped the box open i found my sweats that i had left there in June i was so happy to see them that i put them on right away!!! and then as a dug through the box we found a little box on halloween moonstruck truffles!! i was so excited to eat them!! to add to this already awesome package my father bought me the movie Baby Mama!!! i was so excited i watched it the next day! (it was late!) i have been wanting that movie since i first saw it will Jill i thought it was so freaking funny and now that i am pregnant it was a way cute gift! and on the bottom of the box wrapped oh so neatly were 5 oneies and they are by far the best oneies in the whole world!!!! they are Harley Davidson ones! My eyes got all teary (it is the baby's fault) and i was grinning from ear to ear! i am so happy for the gifts i got and they make me even more excited to the little one! i cant wait to find out what he or she is! either way they are wearing those oneies with pride!!!

As of today i am 5 weeks and 5 days along. lol well that is how far along since my last period. So the little guy in my belly is the size of a lentil bean and in two days he will be the size of a blueberry.

We are so excited! we cant wait to start seeing changes and effects in our life! This will be the first grandkid for my amazing father and it will be number 16 for Mom and Dad Thornock.

We are so happy that we are giving this chance to be parents and further our love for each other and this new little life. At first Josh was in denial and required i took 5 pregnancy tests as prove, and a couple weeks ago he got really excited and has finally realized he is going to be a daddy!!!

so we will keep you posted all along the pregnancy! thanks to everyone for the good wishes!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! (soon)

So alot has happened these last few weeks since i last blogged. I went shopping at target trying to find a giant spider to put in our house for halloween, but instead i found Toby a halloween costume, it was so cute i couldnt refuse!!!! and he looks so cute in it too!!! So here is his picture!!!!

And in my quest to find halloween decorations i went to the D.I. i didnt know what time the D.I. opened but i was up at 9 so i got ready and headed over there, well it turns out D.I. opens at 10am. by the time i got ready and over there it was about 5 minutes before 10 so i decided to wait, as i was waiting a crowd started to form in front of the doors. i started laughing so hard i couldnt believe that people were crowding the doors of the freaking DI for heaven sakes!!! so i took and picture and i knew i had to share it with the world!! lol

SATURDAY WITH THE RENTS!!!!

Last saturday was the BYU and UCLA game, Dave and Jill invited both Josh and I and Mom and Dad to come to the game with them and his parents. We all went and had a blast even though UCLA didnt even show up to the game we had a good time bonding and laughing. Before the game Dave, his dad, Josh and I all decided to hike up the Y mountain. this was the first time for Josh and I both, so we started out and it was ok it wasnt too hard but we didnt think it was going to be that steep! and it was steep switchbacks!!! as Dave and his dad continued to get further and further ahead of me Josh decided to stay back with me and take it slow and steady. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband who will stay by my side even when i know i am slowing him up and that he could easily go ahead of me and enjoy it with the guys. Josh was the one who kept me going up the mountain andf to be honest it was an amazing view but what impressed me most is how much he truely cares for me and wanted to enjoy the moment with me whether we made it to the Y or not he was there to spend it with me and it was such an eye opener for me and it just increased my love for him and made me fall in love with him all over again! Josh i love you, you are the most amazing person who despite my many faults you stand by me! thank you for everything you do and i am blessed to spend eternity with you!!!

A Weekend of Fun with Michelle

It has been a while since the last time I blogged, everything has been so busy around here with me starting to work again and everything! so i catching up!
A couple weeks ago my little sister Michelle started her first semester in college and so as a nice big sister i went up to Rexburg for a weekend and helped her get situated before the semester started.
That saturday night they had what they call is I-night. it is where the school puts on a whole bunch of activities and games for everyone to get to know people and to start the semester off. so we went to the I-night and had a BLAST!!! we did a pie eating contest and a watermelon eating contest. we also played DDR and Laser Tag. I had such a fun time bonding with my little sister and her new room mates! as you can tell we had a blast!

THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!!!

So i was driving home from work about 2 weeks ago, Josh called me on my phone and we were talking like we normally do on my ride home, well this day was completely different!!! So we are talking and he tells me that a car caught on fire in our parking lot. and i was like yeah right whatever! and he was like no seriously!!! he is like the horn is going off like crazy and the car is literally in flames, and i still didnt believe him so he got my camera and recorded it from our living room window. needless to say when i got home the car was just a pile of metal and i couldnt believe what i saw! so we decided to share with you what happened so here is the video Josh recorded!

Life In West Jordan Update!!!!

So it has been a while since we lastr blogged, so i guess it is time for an update. Josh loves his job and FedEx, his boss treats him so well and he is getting a GREAT workout running all day. We live in West Jordan for those who dont know yet, we are about 15 minutes from Jill and Dave and we love where we live. Toby our little puppy is almost 4 months and he has such a personality, Josh actually is attached to the little critter which is a shocker to him, lol. i added a couple videos of him and you can tell he has a great personality! Josh plays a fall league now with his good friend Stephen Francis. They are the Salt lake Bees, he is enjoying being able to get out and play again, and i love to watch him play baseball, so every tuesday and sometimes saturday we have a family outing all three of us (toby likes to come and play in the grass). Josh thought he would be funny by a picture of Toby and I alseep in the chair, what he doesnt show is Toby and him sleep on the luv sac! Pretty much we are enjoying living in Utah, we havent really made any new friends yet, we are still just enjoying being able to get to know each other just that much more!!!

OUR PUPPY TOBY!!!!

So as i blogged yesterday we got our puppy last night! and he is the cutest litle criiter ever!!! I completely fell in love with him the moment i saw him and once we got him home josh fell in love with him too!!! he is so little he is only 1 pound!!!! he was born April 24th 2008!!! so here are some pictures of our sweet little baby puppy!!! it is so awesome to have like a little family! lol i know i is weird to think like that but it is true! he is our baby now and i am so happy to call him mine! we cant wait to take him up to the family party on the 2nd for Josh's birthday! he is going to steal some hearts!!!!

UPDATES!!!

So we have not been blogging lately and so i figured while i am waiting to go get my new 10 week old puppy that i would update you all on our life! So as you all know i went home for my sister's graduation, we had a great time and it was a bitter sweet moment to watch her graduate! it was awesome to know she finally did it but at the same time it is sad to know she is all grown up! it ai weird to think that just 3 years prior i was in her same shoes!!!
But we got to go to the beach for Father's Day and that was so special!!! i ahvent been home for Father's Day in 3 years and so it was a great time for me to fly a kite with my dad and the play in the sand.

After going home it was time to come back to Rexburg and help pack up Josh and my apartment. We had to get ready to move! So we have finally moved to Utah and found a great townhome for josh and i to live in! we are so excited to move in and Josh is loving his job!

JOSH GRADUATED FOR BYU-IDAHO!!! HE GOT A 94% ON HIS LAST TEST AND HE IS SO RELIEVED!!!!

We also went up last weekend to finalize our move to utah and in our luck Jake and Terressa had their new baby girl!!! so we were able to see her before we moved. This is the first time i have been able to home a new born baby! it is so precious to see how peaceful and fragile babies are! As you all probably know her name is Lydia D. Thornock, Jill, Josh and I joke that her middle name is after me!!! hehehehe but it most likely is not but it is fun to pretend right? hahaha we all know i have not made that much impact in the family to have babies being named after me yet HAHAHAHAHAA

Well that is all i have to blog so far, later on i will add pictures of our puppy!!! that we get to get today at 4:30!!!

WE ARE MOVING!!!!

Yes it is official! Josh and I are finally moving to Utah, i am moving to utah june16th and josh will follow shortly after when he graduates! i know it is really fast but i have received a great job offer in midvale utah working as an office manager. We are also getting a puppy as many of you guys know! i am getting him the 1st weekend in july! he is currently 1lbs and 6 weeks old!!!!!
needless to say we are extremely excited about our new and fast paced events happening! we cant wait for the exciting life that awaits us in Utah. We are really excited to live near Jill and Dave, (josh has a new golfing buddy) and we are going to miss people in Rexburg, but ti be honest i am so excited to get of the college town!!!! no offense to anyone who loves it there, we are just ready for changes!!!!!

JOSH SEWS!!!

HAHAHA so as many people know i am currently really into sewing my own clothes and love sacs, so i have been sewing for couple weeks and Josh and I were getting ready for a date and i heard the sewing machine go off, and i was like what is going on..... and this is what i saw!!!!
i couldnt stop laughing! it was so funny and cute that i had a domestic husband!!! i couldnt help but film it!!!

also here are some more pictures of a new shirt i finished making, Josh says it looks like a chinese shirt so i had to squint my eyes HAHAHAHA hope you enjoy them!

DANIELLE SEWS!!!!

So as some of you might know I have been wanting to start sewing my own shirts, dont ask me why i just have! lol So finally a borrowed Terressa's (my sister-in-law) sewing machine and bought fabric to start making my own shirts. This is the first time i have ever sewn anything useful! lol i think one time when i was younger i made a pillow case for halloween candy but that is about it! This Is A Big Deal! So i started saturday night and finished it tonight! as you can tell by the pictures it looks pretty darn good! it is actually wearable! and it looks really cute i might add! i have never been more proud of myself! Even my Josh was surprised and proud of me! we had to take pictures and blog about it!!! Granted it is not the best shirt but i will get better!!!! i am so excited to continue sewing and making cute clothes! i am such a homemaker HAHAHAHA
