It's been quite a while since we've posted anything -- the holidays have been busy, but wonderful! We got our first live Christmas tree this year! Clark and I went and picked it out in a tree lot during a major blizzard. It was hilarious...

We spent Christmas Eve with the Andersons, which was so much fun. Everyone was home for Christmas this year so it has been a non-stop party for the past week. We are really enjoying having the fellow Texans here and wish they'd just move back to Utah :) We spent Christmas day with the Caldwell's and enjoyed chasing neices and nephews around and relaxing.

It's kind of sad that Christmas is over, but we still have something to look forward to in January!!! We only have about 3 weeks left til our little girl is due. It's so crazy how fast the past couple of weeks have gone - hopefully the next couple will fly by too. We have been working on getting our nursery put together and last night we finished our crib. It is so fun to have the room mostly set up - but this whole experience is still very sureal (you wouldn't think by the size of my stomach!). We can't wait to be parents!!!

GO COUGARS!!!

Hmmmm...

I can never update my blog at work because for some reason my computer doesn't allow me to sign in ... weird weird. So anyway, nothing new to report - we're just keeping busy with work and baby :) We have less than 10 weeks until this baby girl is due, and we're thinking it'll probably go by pretty quick with the upcoming holidays. Hooray! Lately we've been working on getting our nursery ready (meaning cleaning out all the junk we've been storing in that 2nd bedroom).

Exciting news: our sister-in-law (Clark's brother's wife) had her baby last week. She had a little girl - Madison Avery Caldwell. She came 2 and a 1/2 weeks early, so it was a bit of surprise, but all went well and i'll post some pictures of her.

Having all these new little ones join our family makes us so excited about our upcoming arrival. I'm getting super uncomfortable (my ribs KILL), but we're hanging in there! Clark puts up with a lot of complaining of body aches on my part, but he's been so patient and good to listen to my struggles. Anyway, we're getting excited for Thanksgiving next week because then Clark will "officially" let me listen to Christmas music, although I have secretly been doing so for the past 2 weeks. We (mostly Cami) can't wait to get our Christmas decor up ... especially that live tree!

woot. woot.

Well, as you can tell I gave our blog a makeover - I kept looking at other blogs and it made me realize ours was boring - hopefully the new colors will make it more exciting!

Clark and I carved pumpkins last night ... it was SO much fun. We both hadn't carved pumpkins in such a long time, we kinda forgot out gross pulling the guts out is. Overall we had a blast and are super excited to light our new jack-o-lanterns tomorrow night for Halloween.

You not only get to see my expanding belly in this picture, but you also get to witness my evening wardrobe. I seriously put these fleece Christmas pants on every night when i get home from work. Struggle I know!

We love this time of year!

10/26/2007 NOTHING

Hmmmm ... I feel like I need to post things more often, but life at the Caldwell residence is pretty repetitive - we get up in the morning and go to work. We get home from work and we go to bed. Seriously ... a lot of my time is spent sleeping these days (or atleast attempting to sleep).
Clark is actually in Alabama right now for "work." Whitewater's glass distributor is out there and every couple years they send some of the salesmen out to "tour the facility" lets be honest - he's golfing the ENTIRE time he's there. They're golfing 36 holes both Thursday and Friday and then hoping to squeeze in 18 before their flight home on saturday evening. Crazy men!

So i've been spending a lot of time at the parentals. My dad took me to dinner last night and we're going down to Springville tonight to see baby Spencer :)

Well, other than that - not much is new ... I'm 28 weeks along, so i've got about 3 months left. I'm already super uncomfortable and struggling to get a normal night's sleep, but I guess I'm just getting prepared for when our little girl comes. We're still unsure on a name - suggestions are welcome :)

Baby Purchase #1

We made our first big "baby purchase" over the weekend - it was such an exciting day. We bought our stroller and car seat. When we got the travel system home clark immediately tore into the box and we put it together.

We're hoping daddy doesn't give piggy back rides while our little girl is in the car seat :)

car, concert, and baby ...

The last couple weeks have been pretty eventful. We bought a 2000 Jeep Grande Cherokee. We sold clark's truck about 2 months ago and have only had one car for the last little while, so we're excited about our new purchase - it'll be a good 4-wheel drive vehicle for our family.

We also went to the Colors concert and it was fabulous. Clark would have rather been home watching the BYU game, so he probably won't admit that he enjoyed it ... but he did! here's some pictures from the concert.

We also had an exciting day yesterday -- Ali had her baby boy - mom and baby are doing great and he is an absolute doll! I've already been to see him twice - i just can't get enough of the little critter. here's a few pictures of Spencer.

Baby News!!!

Yesterday we had our Ultrasound ... and we having a GIRL!!! We've got to start getting used to the color pink :) According to the Ultrasound our baby girl is healthy and growing like she should be. We are so thrilled that she's healthy - we're so blessed. I've been feeling a lot of movement the last couple days which has been really fun. We kind of had our boy name picked out so we are starting from scratch with names, but we still have plenty of time for that. Tonight we went and bought a few pink items - these are the first things we've bought and we discovered that there's never-ending amounts of adorable things, but we're trying not to bust the bank in the first 24 hours. Here's some pictures of our new purchases ... and pictures of our cute little girl. one is of her waving (isn't her hand adorable) and another is her profile. She's a doll!

Hello ... not much has happened since our last post, but I thought i'd add some pictures... The deer hunt started a few weekends ago so we've been spending a lot time at the cabin. We're planning on spending this Labor Day weekend up there as well - it's SO nice to get away. We're counting down the days until we find out what we're having - our ultra sound is on September 5th - we'll let you know!!!

Summer update

Our summer has been extremely busy - here's the summary...
We spent a relaxing weekend in Park City with the Anderson Family during the last weekend in July. It was so fun to have everyone in town for Jake & Bev's wedding, which was a fabulous day with gorgeous weather for the yard reception.
Clark took a trek across the country as a favor to a friend. One of his mission friends moved to Maine and Clark drove across the country in a U-haul so his friend wouldn't have to go at it alone, needless to say it was a LONG trip and he won't be doing that drive again for a very long time (hopefully never). Clark enjoyed seeing a few friends from his mission and enjoying the gorgeous scenery of Maine, and he promises that his next trip out will involve taking me!
We enjoyed the hype of the final Harry Potter book to come out, and went to the mid-night showing of the 5th movie. No, we did not wear our Griffendor scarves or bring our wands (though others in the audience did), but we loved the movie despite the fact that the theater's air conditioner shut off before the show started.
The greatest news and excitement of the summer has been the anticipation of our new arrival in January. Clark and I have enjoyed reading about the development of our new baby and planning for his or her arrival. I was super sick the first several months, but am in my 17th week now and starting to feel better, still exhausted at the end of the day, but less nausea. Anyway, there's an update for now ...

3rd times the charm

Alright - this time we really are going to get into this blog thing and keep it updated!
