new blog

Hello everybody!
I had to start a new blog today so please visit this one and cancel the old one.... it is http://keiablake.blogspot.com/ 

Hope to see you over there :)

Most of you that know me know that I like sports. More specifically I love sports when I'm watching my litte brother play. Last night Ty and the Desert Hills Thunder played the Cedar Redmen in the final playoff game to determine who would compete against Hurricane Tigers in the State Championship next weekend. And....

THUNDER WON! 23-21!

It was quite an eventful game and I loved every minute of it. Yes being 4 weeks away from having a baby definitely made it uncomfortable but there isn't any where else I would have rather been.

Ty catching a long pass for a touchdown!

My family after the game! Yes Brandon just got off the mountain and yes I'm 35 weeks pregnant!

ADDITCTED

So I stumbled across a new website on pinterest of all places and I am addicted to it!

It is called The Red Headed Hostess and it is amazing.

This girl has some amazing ideas and helpful tips and free stuff to help you successfully study your scriptures and the gospel more! She also has tons of stuff for teaching Young Women's, Relief Society, Primary, etc. I have spent quite a bit of time browsing her site and saving stuff that I can use.

It has definitely motivated me to study the gospel!

I love it!

Oh the website is http://www.theredheadedhostess.com/  

CRIB!

Yep we finally bought our crib and it should be here tomorrow!

YEAH!

I'm seriously so excited about this. I feel like everything is finally coming together and things are in line for baby girl :)

Brandon's 28th Birthday!

We went to Lake Powell for Brandon's birthday over labor day weekend with Brandon's family. It was alot of fun! This is us in front of Rainbow Bridge on B's birthday :)

It was definitely nice to get out of St George for a couple days.

Oh and yes I look prego for sure!

Oh how time flies!

So it dawned on me yesterday how much time I DONT have left until this baby gets here! And how much I DONT have done yet! Um ya I kind of panicked for a second! So I wrote out my big list of stuff that I want done before baby gets here. Obviously one of those things is getting the babies room cleaned out and decorated. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do in the babies room for a long time but I think I finally figured it out and I'm really really exicted about it. There isn't really a theme but it is going to be dang cute! I'm going a little vintage and I'm going to use Teal as my main color (kind of a faded teal not so bright) along with a faded lime green and butter. No there is NOOOOOOO pink involved. I'm not a huge fan of pink!

So the reason for this post is not only because I had a panic attack but because I actually got to cross one thing off of my "Before Baby To Do List" today!

The armoir we are using for the babies dresser is officially cleaned out and ready to fill with fun baby stuff! YEAH!

I also started on the closet but I still have some rearranging to do in there.

But I'm starting to feel a little bit better about the fact that baby will be here in about 15 weeks!

I think I may have over done it tonight though cus my belly is feeling super tight right now :(

BOOTIES!

So I have decided to try and tackle these baby booties!

No I am not much of a crocheter (is that a word?) but I think these are adorable and I am determined to figure this out!

Aren't they cute!

Quote of the day

Its a GIRL!

We had our ultrasound today and its a girl! CRAZY! I was seriously convinced that we were having a boy! When the nurse said its a girl I was seriously floored. It took me a second to wrap my head around that cus I was seriously going in there to get confirmation that it was a boy and she shocked the crap out of us!

We weren't able to get any good pictures of her little face thought which really bummed me out. I would love to have had a picture of her to bring home but baby was not cooperating. She just wouldn't turn for the doctors. They seriously tried everything I layed on each side and they had me stand up and lean over to try to get my belly to relax. They even tilted the bed back to try to use gravity to move the baby but she was stubborn! Imagine that our baby being stubborn. So unfortunately we didn't really get to see the baby very well at all. 

But the doctor was able to get enough pictures to see that our baby girl is healthy and that is all that matters at the end of the day!

I seriously can't wait to hold her now!

Burp Cloths!

Well I have today off work so I started sewing!

These burp cloths are super super easy!

I had left over fabric from blankets that I had made for friends so I made a girl one & a boy one :)

Cus unfortunately I still don't know what my little one is :(

But I think they turned out really cute!

NEWS

Well I have a little bit of news. Today is my last day with SGI Mortgage. I have decided to move over to Axiom Financial with Scott Gibson & Brittany. It's been kind of stressful the past few weeks trying to get everything closed out at SGI and get everything set up at Axiom but I'm ready for the move and hope that it will all work to be for the better. So far I have been very impressed with Axiom and am honestly looking forward to getting things underway there but its still a change and I'm sad to leave SGI. But ya that's my big change in life right now and it is all coming smack dab in the middle of my pregnancy. Which honestly had me very worried in the beginning because I wasn't sure when the new companies insurance was going to pick me up but it is all working out and everything should be taken care of by the end of the week.
So wish me luck! I have a whole new set of bosses that I have to impress :)

Lagoon 2011

Well my family went to Lagoon a couple weekends ago and it was alot of fun!

I wasn't able to ride many of the rides cus I'm prego but it was still fun cus Teresa came with us and she doesn't ride the rides cus she will get sick! So she kept me company!

Everyone had a blast though. I believe the favorite roller coaster was Wicked. Everybody couldn't stop talking about that one!

I do have to say that we were not impressed with LagoonABeach though... it was pretty lame.

And I was quite bummed cus the Rapid ride was closed the whole day!

That is one of my favorite rides!

Riding the train :) this was one of the only rides I got to go on! The animals were pretty cool! Brandon was bummed cus they didn't have a buffalo though!

Ty, Kevin & Brandon... yes Brandon is cheesing it for the camera!



 Jessie, Bre, Devri

The whole family is at the back of this roller coaster!

So yes it was a lot of fun!

BaBy!!!!

Well we are making the announcement officially now.

We are expecting our first baby!

My due date is December 13th! So I'm about 12 weeks along!

We went and heard the heartbeat for the first time on Friday and it was amazing!

We also got to do an ultrasound to watch the baby for a minute. I was very surprised to see how big the baby is already! Brandon was really excited to cus this is the first thing he has seen that shows the baby ya know. Up until now he has just had a sick wife to deal with.

We are very anxious to find out what the baby is but we won't find that out until the end of July. Which is fine we can wait it's just something to look forward too!

I haven't been all that sick but I haven't felt very good either. I have been nauseaus but haven't actually thrown up yet so I can't complain to much! And I still fit into my pants which is awesome!

But ya that's about it for now!

FINALLY 2 CHAIRS!

Yep thats right I FINALLY have 2 normal chairs to go with my table I finished.

I forgot to take the before pictures but I bought them at the DI for $10 a peice and they were in pretty bad shape! The cushions especially were stained and nasty but not any more!

The pictures really don't do them much justice they are beat up and aged and I think they turned out great!

Oh and I discovered the most amazing thing ever! Kilz primer! I can't believe nobody has told me about this stuff before. It completely cut my time in half for these chairs. I read about it on allthingsthrifty.com if you haven't been to her site before you need to check it out cus she does some amazing things. But she said that she uses Kilz primer instead of sanding. I was blown away by this so since I already had one of the chairs sanded I decided to spray the primer on the other one that wasn't sanded and they look exactly the same! YEAH! I am quite excited about this because sanding is by far the worse part about it all and it takes the longest! So hello Kilz primer! I'm going to get so many more projects done now!

Now I just need 2 more chairs and a bench!

PaRk CiTy 2011

Well it has been a really long time since I did anything on this blog and these are some of the most recent pictures I have. We went to Salt Lake to visit Travis & Teresa the first part of February and ended up in Park City one of the days. It was very cold but alot of fun! It was B's first time there to so it was good!

There really isn't much else going on with us right now.

But I'm going to try to do better at this blog thing... I always hate when other people dont update theres so I should probably be better at mine :)
