Holiday High
Thanksgiving is next week and I am looking forward to it. Thankfully my morning sickness has not been all the bad the past few days so my fingers are crossed that I will be feeling okay Thanksgiving day. I am spending my very first Thanksgiving ever with Chez and his family. In all our years of even dating, I have always gone to Seattle for this particular holiday. I am excited to experience Thanksgiving with the Jones's. I am also very excited for the Christmas holiday. Every year Chez and I bake up a ton of Christmas cookies to deliver to our neighbors. We like to build gingerbread houses, decorate the house like CRAZY, and we absolutely love to set up our tree. This year will be extra special because Kingston will be old enough to understand a little more of what is going on. We haven't decided if we want to do our Christmas before our after our Cancun trip which is the 21st-31st. But whatever the case is, Chez and I finished all our shopping for Kingston yesterday. He is going to be thrilled! He still mostly has little baby toys that he plays with and hardly any big kid toys. After going to friend's houses who have tons of cool toys that Kingston adores, we decided to spoil Kingston this Christmas. I posted the pictures of his toys. The kitchen set was so hard to find. We bought one at Toys R Us that ended up having bad reviews so after much research, we found the coolest one ever at Sam's Club that was so much cheaper than the same style at Toys R Us only this one we bought comes with a table and chairs. I am so excited for Christmas and so happy to have a wonderful family to share the holidays with!

Another Bundle of Joy
The past couple of weeks have been crazy and adding morning sickness to that, makes it worse. Seattle was okay. The whole purpose was for my grandma's funeral which made it a very different and kind of sad. It is always a joy to see my family though. Friday I flew straight from Seattle to Boise, where I then drove to Idaho Falls, packed Kingston's weekend suticase, dropped him off with grandma and grandpa then caught another plane to Vegas from Idaho Falls. That day was nuts! Once I got to Vegas I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend. Saturday I watched Chez play tennis and hung out with his team members. Sunday we hung out with some friends who live in Vegas and played some table games while watching Sunday night football. Monday our flight wasn't until 3PM so we played "Let It Ride", a table game, while we killed some time before going to the airport. What do ya know?? I get a 4 of a kind and pocket a very decent chunk of change before flying home. Once we finally got home and were greeted by Kingston, who was very happy to see us :), we crashed until morning where we went to the doctor to get our very first ultrasound of our little peanut! It was so awesome to see and hear the heartbeat of our little baby. I am due June 21st. We are so excited to finally give Kingston a little brother or sister!

Gone Private
Lately I have been getting some comments from people I don't know or comments that I never got to read that were deleted. For confidentiality and safety of my family, I decided to make our blog private. I am only allowing friends and family to view our blog through invitation only. I am not really "blogger" smart, so if any of you notice that it has not gone private, please let me know so I can fix that.
