Thankful

I just wanted to take a moment and say how blessed me and my family are! I have a wonderful husband who loves me and has the same eternal goal as I do. We have two great kids that keep us on our toes, but they make us laugh. We have welcomed Nate's niece into our home, because she needed a place to live. And trust me, getting used to a 17 year old in the house is hard, but she is such a great kid and very helpful and we are so happy that she is here. We have very supportive parents that will do almost anything for us. We have the most wonderful friends that we love so much. And now we are sooooooooooooo blessed to be welcoming this new baby into our life! I have wanted so badly to have more kids and at one time that seemed like it just wasn't going to happen. Nate had a vasectomy before we met. And I was really scared to spend the money to get it reversed. My wonderful husband kept telling me it will be fine lets just get the surgery done. I wasn't sure. But with the support of our family and friends we made the decision. And now we are expecting a wonderful miracle baby that was sent to us from our kind and loving Heavenly Father!

Well thank you for letting me express my thanks! THank you to all my wonderful blog buddies for your support and Congrats! I love you all!

P.s. I'm even thankful for the morning sickness, breast tenderness, weepiness, sleepiness, and the rest of the wonderful symptoms that tell me. I really am pregnant!

Well.......

Our trip to Albuquerque

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 05:23:00 +0000

Well a couple of weeks ago we had to go to Albuquerque for Nate's 6 week check-up, so we decided to have some fun too! We went to the museum of natural history and we also went to Chucky Cheese. It was a short trip, but we had a lot of fun! Oh by the way Nate's check up went great!

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 05:16:00 +0000

Well this was a few weeks ago, but I'm a little behind! We went to Durango with our friends Sam and Sarah. We walked aroung, played some putt putt golf, and then ate dinner at Serious Texas bbq. Then we went home and Sam and Nate watched a movie, but Sarah and I had a water fight with the kids! It was a lot of fun! Also Cheyenne got her first hole in one!

Family pics!

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:28:00 +0000

We recently got family pics at the Farmington Library. Trisha took them and they are fabulous!!! THere are so many great pics it was hard to pick a few! So I just randomly picked some.

Fourth of July

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:31:00 +0000

For the Fourth of July we went to our best friend's house Sam and Sarah. Sarah was having a family reunion for her parents and siblings. They were nice enough to invite us over for a bbq and fireworks. We had so much fun. We had delicious ribs(Nate's secret receipe, Sam borrowed the receipe) Corn on the cob, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and dip, vege's, and flag cake. The Flag cake was my contribution. It's really easy to make. I crumbled up angel's food cake in the bottom of the pan until I had the depth I wanted, then I topped it with whipped cream, then I cut up strawberries into fourths and place them and the blueberries, finally I took canned whipped cream and make "stars". It turned out really good and it is sooo easy!The kids are waiting for sparklers.

Grandparents!

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:39:00 +0000

My mom and dad don't let me take pictures of them very often, but the other day I was able to get one. Probably because the kids asked them. It turned out cute! The kids love their Grandparents so much.

Hanging out

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:43:00 +0000

Not a whole lot has been going on at the Lemons house! We've just been hanging out! I got this cute picture of Matt the other day, but the camera was upside down. Matt thought it was incredibly funny that he was "upside down". Nothing really exciting has been happening lately. We've been really lazy lately! That's not good. Hopefully we will be a bit more interesting in the near future! In the mean time here are a couple of pics. At the bottom is the shirt that the kids made for Nate for Father's day.

We recently got rid of our goats, mostly because I caught one of them on the hood my van! But we had got them originally for weed control. Unfortunately they ate everything except for the weeds! But as I was going through my old pictures, I waned to post this one, just because I thought it was pretty funny. A weedeater driving a riding lawnmower!

Happy Father's day!

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 22:03:00 +0000

In honor of Father's day I decided to post some cute pictures of the kids with Nate!

Cheyenne's seventh B-day

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 21:50:00 +0000

I found my camera and decided to post a couple of pics from the past couple of months. So here are a few of my favorite pics from Cheyenne's birthday. She got some earrings, some bracelet making kits, a storybook kit, and a lot of Hannah Montana stuff! The picture at the bottom is from Cheyenne's school birthday party. They did limbo, played games. and ate cupcakes(that Cheyenne volenteered me to make!). It was great! All the kids had a blast. We took her to the Durango pool for her birthday. I bought a underwater camera to take picture at the pool, so as soon as get those developed I will post them!

New Haircut!

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 02:03:00 +0000

So I have had this new haircut for about a month now, but it is still fairly new! The picture isn't that great because I took it on my phone. (Still can't find my camera) :(

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:00:00 +0000

Well we went to Albuquerque for Nate's surgery on the 3. All went well so far. Our doctor was great! He was able hook the plumbing back up with no problems. We go back on July 21 for testing. I forgot my camera :( but i was able to take a few with my phone. There are before they took him back.

The surgery lasted three hours and he was in recovery for 1 1/2 hours. He is recovering nicely and he went back to work on Monday. I can't find my camera, but when I do I will post some pics of the kids!

Cheyenne had her first concert. It was so cute! The first grade class performed song about farm life.

Forgive me!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 22:12:00 +0000

Hey all! I'm soooooo sorry! First my camera stopped connecting to my computer right. Second our computer quit working right. Third I've been super busy!! I promise to try to be better! Well so much has happened. Our dog Dodge died, crazy story that I won't share on here! We got a new puppy. Her name is Sunny. She is a lab mix. I will post some pics as soon as I get my camera working right. The kids are good. Cheyenne's birthday is coming up. She wants to go to the new Hannah Montana movie. We started Matt on some herbal medication for his hyperness. It has really worked! He has been doing a lot better in school. Some of you know that Nathan got a vasectomy after Matt was born (before we met). Well we just got the money to get it reversed! We are so excited to try and have another baby! His surgery is June 3rd so please keep us in your prayers! Well I love you all! And please don't give up on me, I will do better at posting!

Jungle Adventure

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:37:00 +0000

We went on a jungle adventure in our yard! This was back in September(sorry I've been mia!)The kids had a lot of fun!

Hey all!

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:35:00 +0000

Hey everybody! Well sorry I've been so distant in my blogging! Busy, busy, busy! Well Nate and I are going to Manti this weekend for our anniversary! I'm super excited! So when I get back I promise to load some pictures from our trip!

First week at school

noreply@blogger.com (Britney and Nate) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 23:54:00 +0000

Well Matt started kindergaten and Cheyenne started 1st grade on Monday! They were both really excited and had a great day!

Cheyenne and her Teacher! Her teacher is awesome!

Second day was not as good. The kids go to seperate schools Because we are in a different district than Matt's mom, so Cheyenne goes to Mccoy and Matt goes to Lideya Rippey. Well I picked Cheyenne up at 2:55 and rushed over to get Matt by 3:05. My mom was with me because we were going to go to town after I picked up the kids. When I got to Matt's school, I went to the pick up line and he was not there. The lady told me that she had already picked up his class, so she told me to go to the front and see if he was in the bus line. I called Lisa(Matt's real mom) to see if she had picked him up on accident and she hadn't. I went up front and could not find him anywhere!!! The office paged his teacher multiple times and she didn't answer the page. They called the bus they thought he might be on and he was not on it. At this point in time I have massive butterflies in my stomach and I am about to lose it. They have "misplaced" my son. After about 20 minutes his teacher strolls in and says "sorry I was busy" They asked her about Matthew and she looked at me and said "I stuck him on a bus." I asked her why and she said that he was a bus rider as of today. I told her I personally watched Lisa write down that he was pick up only. She told me" do you want to see the paper and I said no I need to go get my son, There is nobody home! I rushed to my car and sped to Lisa's house. All I can think about is they are going to drop my 5 year old at a house with no one home. We finally got a hold of the bus driver and they turned the bus around and took him back to school. When I got there Matt was hysterical, as was I. What a wonderful way to get my child excited for school! His teacher later called and said she found the paper and he was a pick up only! Needless to say Wednesday morning we went in and changed Matt's teacher. Thank goodness Matt still looks foward to school! I hope next week is better!
