Happy Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! It was so cute to see Kaiya catch on to trick or treating. First we went to the church for trunk or treat. After a few cars she caught on quickly and would run up and look for the basket of candy. Then after we came back to our street and trick or treated with some friends. Kaiya would run up to the doors and work her way to the bowl. She would take FOREVER to figure out what she wanted. It's funny whenever there were smarties she would always end up with those. Afterwards we came back to our house where we had a bunch of friends over to play games and just hang out. My friend brought over a fog bubble machine and the kids had hours of fun with it. Especially Kaiya. It was such a fun night.

Sewing Maniac

So I have been a sewing maniac lately. I LOVE IT!! I have made kaiya tons of new cute clothes. But I decided I am going to try and make me an apron. But here are somethings I have made for Kaiya. I also fixed Brett's blanket that he has been asking me to fix FOREVER. But I didn't take a picture of that haha.

Scentsy Kick Off

So I had my scentsy Kick off party to start out my new business. We had lots of yummy food (HOMEMADE: raspberry cheesecake, german chocolate cake, banana bread,fruit skewers, sasage balls, apples and carmal sauce, salsa and salmon dip). I had lots of things to smell, but best of all us girls got to hang out and just be girls. For those of you who don't know what scentsy is check it out. www.scentsy.com/emilyshurtleff.

Sewing

So I decided the other day I need a new hobby. So I got a sewing machine..YAY I got a pattern for some pj's and decided just to see if I could make something. Well I think they turned out pretty good. I did mess up a few things and my lines aren't the straightest but oh well. Guess I will just keep trying :)



These other two pictures I just thought were cute so I figured I would put them on here.

Happy kaiya Hour

Loving the Beach!!


Family FUn!









We took Kaiya to the beach. She went running straight for the water. I hurried and took her clothes off. We didn't plan on getting wet so we didn't come prepared with swimsuits. Lucky for us Grandma had a towel in her car. Kaiya would go running for the waves. Thank goodness it's the Atlantic ocean and the water is warmer. I forgot my Camera so the pictures are from my phone.

Kaiya hanging out with Simon...Who by the way isn't suppose to be on the couch...bad dog.



Kaiya's new Chair from Grandma Shurtleff. She LOVES it!!!




We have been going through a lot of teeting lately. But we still manage to have a happy girl.....well most of the time.

Love my little Family

Man do the trials make you appreciate all that you have. I am so greatful for such an amazing husband and fun happy daughter. Life is getting back to normal now. I am so happy to have them in it.

Trip To Utah

Kaiya's First Lolly Pop

Dancing to Grandpa playing the Guitar.



Our trip to Utah was a lot of fun, and just what we needed. Our first day was a little busy with my little sisters wedding. But the rest was pretty relaxating visiting a ton of friends. Here are a few pictures, I really forgot to take a lot while we were there. But it was nice to see a lot of old friends, and meet some new ones (Celena). It was sad to leave, but good to get back to our new house and finally start putting it together.

My Angel Baby

To the baby that I carried
But never seen your eyes
Or tell you how much I loved you
Or ever to hear your cries.

You will never be forgotten
The excitement we had for your coming.
When I realized I'd never hold you,
The feeling I had was numbing.
My angel baby is who you are.
My angel baby you'll always be.
Your loving memory will live in my heart
So you will always be right here with me.



Brett and I went to the hospital tonight. I had been spotting all day and decided to just go to the ER tonight. I could have waited for tomorrow but Brett wouldn't have been able to go with me. After doing another Ultrasound they told me that the pregnancy wasn't a vital pregnancy. They would have my Dr. follow up with me on the best way to proceed from here. Although I was extrememly sad, it was also nice to finally have an answer. Now the healing can begin. I am sad, but not angry. I know that if something was wrong that this is my bodies natural way of dealing. Hopefully we will get another chance. Until then, I am sure Kaiya will keep us pretty busy. Thanks for all the love and support. For you Utah folk, we'll see ya soon.

Tough Week

Well, I have been trying to decide if I was going to post about this. Then I decided, since this is also like my journal I decided I should. Last week I went in to have my first Ultrasound. When I was there the tech was awful. She didn't talk to me the entire time. At the end she told me she would send the pictures to my Dr. I was soo confused. I never got to see my baby. I called my Dr freaking out a bit and when they called me back they explained that I was showing 4 weeks behind what I should be. I was showing 5 weeks and 4 days, and I should have been 8 weeks 4 days. So the Dr said I either miscarried and got pregnant again right away or I miscarried and my body just hadn't let go yet. I called Brett and let him know, and he came straight home from work to be with me. I have been doing pretty good. I will admit I have cried off and on, but thanks to Kaiya, our move and painting our new house I have been able to stay pretty busy. The last couple days I have been spotting a little which makes me think more that I am not pregnant and my body is catching up. I have a Ultrasound appointment tomorrow to see if the baby has grown at all. If not they will know for sure that I have miscarried, if it has then it looks like I am pregnant again. I am just so frustrated with not knowing one way or another. But I know I have been through worse and that God wouldn't give me anything I can't handle. I will keep everyone updated when I know. Friday we are off to Utah for my little sisters wedding. After all this stress it will be nice to get away. Oh yeah and Brett and I started school last Friday. AHHHH the joys of life. On a better note, we are in our new house. YAY!! I will post pictures as soon as we get everything put together.
