Random Dreams!

12 weeks 4 days pregnant

Up until now, I have not had ANY dreams during this pregnancy. They started Sunday night. And boy... They are random! So I have to write them down now, so I can remember them later!

Sunday night: I can't remember where it started... I remember that my one of my best friends, Tatjana, was getting married to Dr. Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy. Dr. Shepherd is played by the actor Patrick Dempsy for those of you who don't know. I might be a little obsessed with him. I think he's good lookin! Definitely McDreamy!! Obviously I was so jealous of her. I remember thinking in my dream, "Well Tat is so pretty, so it makes sense for her to be marrying this well known neuro surgeon!" (seriously Tat :D) So I wanted to be involved in this wedding so that I could tell people that I went to the wedding of Dr. Derek Shepherd! And I would hang out with them WHENEVER I got the chance. I was ga-ga over him! I couldn't believe she was marrying him, but secretly I wanted to be in on the wedding to try to steal him away. But who was I kidding... Him picking me over Tat? Never... But I was still going after it! (Note: Tatjana is married with a 4 month old son -- apparently in my dream this didn't matter?) I remember we were at the temple... and there were chocolate covered strawberries. And water fountains. And little kids sliding down the hand rails. All these random things. It was kind of an all over the place dream. I don't remember where it ended, or where it began. I just remember being totally head over heals for Dr. Shepherd. Haha, WEIRD!

Then last night, it got more random.

Monday's Dream: Mom, Dad, Carly, Marcus, Kyle and I were sitting in the kitchen of the OLD house we use to live in on main street in Farmington. It was night time. And we noticed there were people pounding on the windows in random places, and random times. Dad said he would go check it out. He said that there were scary people outside. We went to the front room where there were big glass windows and it was pitch black outside. Then someone would pound the window right in front of us and scare us really bad! We put our faces up to the windows with our hands around our eyes to see who was out there. All these scary people dressed up in weird costumes. Apparently they wanted to play murderer in the dark. Somehow the front door got open. I remember fighting to keep these scary people out, but they got in. It was now pitch black in the house too. I remember hiding in the front room in a corner by our couch hoping these people wouldn't find me and scare me (I hate being scared) But suddenly the equation flip flopped, I was being blamed for being the murderer in this game. (You know how in murderer in the dark game you use your hand as a knife to cut peoples throats) I was trying to tell people that I wasn't the murderer. But somehow I had this evil side of me that was going around murdering all these people with my "hand knife". I ended up killing everyone and winning the game. I was proud at the end to be the murderer. Then we were all sitting on the porch outside, and there were TONS of people who had just gotten done playing this game with us. We were all just talking, then all the sudden my dog Duke, comes crashing out from under the porch. He had gone crazy, wild, rouge! He had this look on his face like he was out to kill. People were screaming and running everywhere. I couldn't understand why Duke was acting this way. Then out of no where, these vampires show up, and they said the only way they could stop him was to snap his neck, and he'd be normal again. I knew that if they snapped his neck, they would kill him... I was freaking out! Crying and people were holding me back from stopping these vampires from killing my sweet dog (Twilight maybe?) ..... Then the dream ended.

Luckily Duke hadn't gone rogue, and was sound asleep in his kennel, I wasn't playing murderer in the dark and killing all these people, and we DON'T live in that old house in Farmington on Main Street anymore. (What a relief that is, we hated that old house)

It's weird that all the sudden these dreams are vivid, and I haven't been dreaming at all during this pregnancy. But I still wake up in the mornings feeling like I slept SO good. It was hard to get out of bed this morning. I wasn't ready to wake up!

Where do these dreams come from?

I wonder what will be in store tonight! Haha :)

Oh the things we do!!

This is what we do when we get bored:



We build giant blanket forts! This was so fun. We were so bored one night we got out all the sheets and blankets we owned and just strung them across the whole room! Haha, we sat in it all night and just talked and laughed, then the boys re-built it and actually slept in it! Yeah... we're still kids at heart!

This weekend we decided to take a trip down to our Grandma Sandy's house in Monroe. We took Duke along and also drove through Manti so I could see the job that they did restoring and old mill. It looked great! The work that Justin and his boss do is fantastic! We also drove past the Manti Temple. Isn't it gorgeous?!?

Chinese Duke?

We had a great time visiting with Grandma Sandy & Grandpa Les. We wish they lived closer so we could see them more often, but it's definitely a treat when we get to go down to their house!
Monday I had the day off and had the opportunity to make a cake for someone that I use to work with. She wanted a mermaid cake. So go check out the cake and some cupcakes I made also!

What we've been up to!

So some of you have probably been wondering what we've been up to besides just making cake. So I decided to elaborate. (In order from oldest to newest photo's)

Viewmont high school had a powderpuff football game. Kyle was a cheerleader! He's such a funny kid! He was also elected to be the designated "flyer"
Check It Out!


Good thing they caught him.

The Junior Cheerleaders

Kyle and his best friend Caden.

Also, Justin has been working so hard. His boss went out of town for 3 days to go deer hunting. So he decided to call my Aunt Leah and help her out with her new house down in Draper. In return Aunt Leah gave us this. THANK YOU SO MUCH! WE LOVE IT :o)
And last night after family dinner at my mom's house, we decided to make caramel apples. So i melted the caramel and got our 4 choices of toppings ready: Mini M&M's, Toffee pieces, Chopped peanuts, and Halloween sprinkles.



MMM! They were delicious!

And of course, the boys love to play/torture poor duke. But he's such a good sport. (Sorry for the bad filming, I'll take the blame for that)
They put aluminum foil on his feet with rubber bands. So when he'd run into the kitchen he'd slip and fall. But he didn't like the feeling on his feet at all!



Anyway, we've just been busy working and hanging out with friends A LOT, and the boys play Counterstrike A LOT. But other than that, not too much is going on.

However I am excited for the following things coming up soon:
With Tatjana & Jeff this week

Halloween!



November 6th is:

Our birthdays!

And then the perfect ending to our year in:at my sisters house with the whole family :o)

Camping in Yuba Lake -- Again

We had another chance to go down to Yuba Lake again this summer. This time it was with most of our friends, and we didn't have a boat. Also we stayed just outside of the painted rocks campground so we had a little bit more freedom; no quiet time, Duke didn't have to be on a leash, and more privacy!

We had so much fun, Bret & Ryan missed out on all the fun... but Me, Justin, Lindsay, Justin, Steve, Zack & Kiley were able to go. So we packed up on Friday and left around 4:00pm

When we got to camp we got all set up and then made hamburgers, hot dogs & corn on the cob for dinner. YUM! Then we hung out by the fire, made some marshmallows then Me, Linds, Steve and Zack played a grueling game of Ticket to Ride. Poor Linds got all ganged up on, but she still played a good fight!

That night we stayed up until at least 3am just laughing, talking and having fun. So we went to bed, woke up Saturday and headed down to the Lake to swim! Steve and Kiley had to leave early on Saturday to get back home so they didn't get in the water.


The best part of swimming was Duke. He LOVES swimming. We've never actually taken him somewhere where he can just be free and swim, so we never really knew if he liked it. But he jumped right in and swam all afternoon! It was the cutest thing!





All worn out.
In the water we played some catch, just relaxed and had a little talk with the ranger. I guess when you are on the beach the dog has to be on a 6ft leash at all times! Whether in the water or out... Lame! So we put the leash on Duke and he started whining cause he felt like he couldn't swim with it on, it made him nervous. So we broke the rules a little and waited for the ranger to go away, then let him loose!



What a cute cute couple :o)



Then on Sunday, we just hung out mostly in the trailer, played some games, took a nap then packed up to go home. It was fun!

Thanks friends for making it such a fun time!


NEXT DESIRED TRIP: Sea World!! {Wouldn't that be nice?!?}
