Pregnant lady throwing a tantrum;-)

Okay, so yesterday 12/19, the girls had their Holiday parties and I was in charge of getting the pizza. Anyway, I decided to order it from Domino's. So I had two orders paid for and ready to be delivered at 2:20 and at 3:20. Easy order for both of them: 1st, 2 Cheese pizza's and 2 pepperoni, and 2nd 3 cheese and 3 pepperoni. So the first order comes and when we went to go feed the kids, we see there is NO CHEESE on either pizza. If there was any, it had dissolved into the very, very thin layer of sauce. So, being the hormonal freak that I am, I call them immediately to let them know that there is no cheese on our pizza's. I tell the guy that they better make sure they put cheese on our next order or I will ask for my money back. So 3:20 rolls around and I make the delivery guy wait as I check the pizzas and low and behold, NO CHEESE. Now I am raging with ridiculous amounts of hormones. I proceed to show the delivery man that there is no cheese on my pizzas. He tells me, I don't make the pizzas, I just deliver them. AHHH. So I ask him if he has a direct number for the locations (you now have to go through an automative questioneer to get to the location that you want, which just annoys me even more) Anyway he says that he does, but his phone is in the car, which he was not going to go and get. So I proceed again to call the location and finally get to the manager, who tells me, no insists that there is cheese on my pizza. I insist there is not and that the delivery guy is standing there looking and agreeing, see that I am not to be messed with, then the manager says that he is running out of cheese. RUNNING OUT OF CHEESE??? Are you serious? I tell him this is not my problem, that I paid for a product and you did not meet the products expectations. The conversation ended with me saying, Fine, I will take pictures and contact corporate. He seemed to not be bothered by that comment. So we used Anna's teachers camera and took pictures of the pizzas. I don't have them yet, but when I get them I will post them. It is of my opinion, that when you fork out $70.00 in pizza that you should get $70.00 worth, not $10.00 worth.

This is what the pizza should have looked like!

Time is flying by

I am amazed that Christmas is a week away. I am excited that school will be done for two weeks starting this Friday (YEAAAAH)!
Here are some quick updates: I had a birthday party for Amanda (her first one;-/) I know, how could that be, but when your birthday is in December, I think you get the short end of the stick. Anyway, it was last Wednesday, and I am glad she had fun and finally had the experience of a birthday party!!
Another update is that we helped plan our ward Christmas party and it was on the 13th. I am SO happy it is over and done with. No more waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts of "did we cover everything?". I slept like a baby Saturday night;-)
I think that is it, so enjoy the picture of Amanda's birthday party!



The girls started out making their own crowns
Then they made necklaces and ate tea sandwiches with "tea" chocolate milk
My disaster with the cake. So I kept going back and forth with the thought, should I make it or just buy one. While I was trying to decide over a couple of days, I had put the cake part in the freezer. Anyway, I decided to make it, but waited too long to pull it out of the freezer ( who would've thought that it would take more than three hours to defrost) Anyway, when I was done frosting the half frozen cake, I couldn't get the barbie in (another thing, you are suppose to buy a barbie that has a peg for a body, not a full figured one, I was too lazy to go to a special store and get one) SOOO I got a knife and tried to make a hole for the full figured barbie to fit in. I thought it had worked, but as the girls were making their necklaces, I see movement in the corner of my eye and it was the barbie cake cracking. The girls and I were laughing SO hard
Then I got a kabob stick and skewered her back together;-)
They still ate it and that's all that matters!

Oh Baby, were having a ............

Okay first of all, I feel SO blessed to have gotten this wonderful ultrasound from a lady in our ward. She is so kind to me and our family. Secondly, it had to have been one of the coolest ultrasounds I have ever had. Her equipment was so amazing! She got the baby smiling....SMILING:-) (second picture) I loved every moment of it. It makes me feel kind of like a jerk though, being that I wasn't that excited at first to be having this precious gift. Motherhood is seriously such a blessing to me. It has helped me grow in SO many ways, and hope to continue to help be a better woman and person throughout my life. I feel SO grateful to my husband that he has given me the greatest gifts of all, and that to me is motherhoood and being a wife. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the VERY detailed ultrasound pictures as much as I do....Oh and don't worry, the baby doesn't have tumors (just in case you thought what I did when I was looking at the head) The sister told me it is just tissue.

Did you notice how "Angelina Jolie" the babies lips are???? I think the baby looks SO much like Amanda/ Barlow baby, you be the judge. I can just kiss those cheeks now:-)Thanks for hanging in there and looking at the cool pictures! WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER GIRLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH! I am actually REALLY excited! No T-Pee cups for me. (It's some contraption that you put over the boy part so they don't pee all over you) I do feel REALLY bad for Jonathan though. He says he doesn't care and that he is excited, but I can only imagine his dissappointment:-( Another girls to wrap there little heart around their daddies finger:-) I am sure that will make everything all better:-) Anyway, hope everyones, day/ week goes great!!!!
