Trip to Vegas!!!!

A couple weekends ago Josh and I decided we were going to go and visit my aunt and cousins in Vegas just for fun! So saturday after josh got off of work we headed down the long 5 and half hour trip to vegas. we had just gotten out of the salt lake valley and josh started to get really tired! he was nodding off and such so i decided i would drive for a bit. So i took the drivers seat and he was out within 5 mins of starting on the road again! i thought it was so cute so i had to take some pictures!!!


Once we got there we were welcomed by my gracious aunt JoJo!!! she is so sweet to let us crash at her house for a couple of nights! We had chicken and dumplings for dinner and it was amazing! we then got to hang out with Jon my cousin i havent seen in years! and immediately Josh and Jon hit it off! we went to the old town vegas and just had a ball!! josh has never seen the light show so i had to take him to see it! we had a blast going into stores and taking funny pictures! i love the picture of Jon and Josh with their Indiana Jones hats! it was so fun!!!



We took pictures of what i wish i could look like when i have the baby! lol what a wish huh? lol and we cruised the strip and it was amazing! we went to a buffet and i stuffed my face with everything i could put on my plate!! Josh was in heaven with the endless shrimp! lol and Jon was pigging out on cinamon coffee cake! hahaha i miss them already!



We also went to visit my other cousin Russel who was in the hospital, he got hit by a car so he was recouperating from that accident! luckily he is doing wonderful and with a little bit of bridary he is doing his phsyical therapy.



All in all we had a wonderful time! toby loved having friends to play with and i loved seeing my family and enjoying time with them! i cant wait till march when we head back down to see them again!! Josh and Jon got along so well and it is so awesome to me that my cousins like my husband! they are so funny together!!!

I Cant Believe It!!!

Alot has happened since we found out the most wonderful news ever that we are having a baby BOY! Immediately the next day i started looking for baby boy clothes, and if any of you really know me you know i have no patience when it comes to things that excite me!! so i was looking on a site well known here in the salt lake valley called KSL. they have a classified section that i swear i browse daily! so i got on the day after we found out we were having jamison and there was a lady selling what she described and i quote "a HUGE lot of baby boy clothes 0-6 months" for 20.00 so i emailed the lady and asked her how much is a huge lot, and she responded 50 items or so. i thought that was a great deal because they were dang cute and only about .50 cents an item, so i called josh and he said i could go buy them.
So i got in my car and went to the ladies house when i got there she came out with 3 huge garbage bags full of clothes! and said here you go! i was shocked! she even tried to give me a carseat! lol luckily we already have one but i got home and we started going through the bags and i almost cried! this woman gave us over 200 items of clothing many of which still have the tags on them!!! plus to top of this amazing find she added a working baby monitor, a headreast for newborns in the carseat, a diaper bag, and a front carrier!
i washed all the clothes and started to put them away, but i have run out of places to put them so now i have to find a little dresser for jamison! lol we are so blessed to have found such an amazing find! and that lady was so generous!!!

so we had to take a picture! lol


and here is a body update lol here i am at 17 weeks on my birthday! enjoy!

And the Gender Is.....

So yesterday was the day that Josh and I went to the doctor's office to find out the gender of our unborn child! I was about the pass out on the way there! i was so nervous and i felt like i was going to puke, i dont know why i was so nervous but i was. Josh kept telling me dont worry you are having a baby! lol i knew that but i was nervous on what we were having!! everyone wanted us to have a girl but i desperately wanted a boy and so did Josh. We got to the doctors office and within 5 minutes i was laying down with the ultrasound lady gooping that gel stuff on my tummy, i dont think i have ever held Josh's hand that tight before. When our baby showed up on the screen in front of us, it had its back to us and the lady said it might not want us to know... i was like well move it!! lol so the tech started to move the thingy back and forth across my stomach with a little pressure to get the little one to move, and it worked, it rolled over and we were able to get face shots. Josh's first comment was " it loks like an alien!!" lol leave it to Josh to be blunt lol. she then proceeded to show us different parts of the baby, like his hand, arm, leg , and foot. i began it get nervous again when she said lets see what it is, my heart started to pound, as she placed a picture of its cute little bum i began to cry!!! she then said, "It is a BOY!" i was so excited i looked at josh and he had a grin from ear to ear!!! there was definitely no mistaking him for anything but a boy! after the lady left and i wiped the goop off of my stomach i just hugged Josh i couldnt stop smiling! i would have loved the little one if it was a girl but i am so happy and thankful it is a boy!!! We now can call him a "him" and not "it" he has a gender and therefore it is more real and exciting! i cant wait to find clothes for him and decorate his room! yesterday was the most stressful and happy day thus far besides or course our marriage day lol.
So here are some ultrasound pictures of little

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!!!
