Happy New Year, fireworks and all

For New Years Jeron and I went to my brother Jon's to watch a couple of movies so we could stay up until midnight. Ya... we're lame. Anyway while watching the Princess Bride. Elvis fell asleep on the couch behind my head and I was just about there with him. Then Elvis heard a firework. He doesn't like fireworks much but had been doing really well with them going off for the new year until the one that woke him from his slumber. He barked and jumped awake causing a chain reaction in me cuz I was touching him. I yelped and jumped. Elvis then got so mad at the firework for scaring at me he ran around the apartment until the fireworks died down. Because of this he was the first to welcome the new year. The rest of us followed suit, in a slightly less threatening tone and Jeron and I had our first kiss for the 2012 year.

Baby Cousin

Angie's kids are particularly excited about a new baby cousin. Before I told her kids her youngest Ammon asked me "Aunt O, why do you only have a dog for a baby?" I laughed and asked "If I were to have a baby do you think it should be a girl or a boy?" Ammon quickly responded "Boy!" while Lyssa who overheard the conversation said "Girl!" They went back and forth until Angie winked and said "I know Aunt O should have twins, a girl and a boy." I laughed while Ammon and Lyssa said "YA!" and jumped up and down.

Now her kids know that they should be getting a new baby cousin and are supper excited. Angie plans on being back up here for the birth of the baby. I think Ammon's the most excited. He asked after he found out about the new baby "Can I hold him or her first?" I teasingly said "Do I get to hold it first?" he then replied "No, me!"

As Angie and her family started to leave to go home Ammon said "I want to be here for your babies birthday." It's nice that he's excited cuz traveling takes the biggest toll on him. (He gets very car sick) The funniest part was less then 24 hours after getting home Ammon asked his mom "It's time to go see and hold baby cousin, right?!"

A few days later Ethan went up to his mom and said "Mommy, Ammon gets a new baby cousin?" It's funny because i'm sure he was thinking "How come Ammon gets a new baby cousin and I don't?" Angie replied "You a new baby cousin too, Ethan." Ethan then said "Oh" and walked off.

Hearing Baby

Today Elvis laid his head on my tummy. He was so super gentle and doesn't normally cuddle this much. After a moment of having his head there his head popped up and his ears perked as if he'd heard something. I pointed down and said "I think you heard the baby." After that he settled back on my tummy and took care while moving so that he didn't step on the baby.

Schools Out!

Sometimes I wonder if my posts are boring. My favorite posts to read are posts with pictures ... and we've not had a lot of those recently. Thankfully and hopefully we'll have more comming soon (we got a camera for Christmas :) ). We are so supper excited for Christmas and my sister and her family are on there way right now! They will be staying for Christmas and her second child, Lyssa will be getting baptised. Oh I can't wait for the holliday's and for them to get here safely tonight. JUST A FEW MORE HOURS!!! I'd totally post pictures with this post but all the pictures are on Jeron's phone. ... Oh right, So Schools out Jeron and I finished the semester our and did pretty good. We are supper excited cuz a year from now (December 2012) We'll both be done with school. ANyWay i'm rambaling and confusing myself. :) Oly
