So I am officially ready and motivated to get this weight off!! If anyone has ANY suggestions, workouts, eating tips, ANYTHING, I would greatly appreciate it! I am excited to get back to the REAL me. Wish me luck!

2010-10-30T14:04:00.000-07:00

I've been having a lot of problems with my Mirena IUD! Everytime I go to the bathroom I start bleeding and then get SEVERE cramps about a half hour later. It makes me really sick to my stomache and makes me want to lay in bed all day. I called the doctor and he has been wanting me to keep an eye on it for a few weeks. I have been contimplating taking it out, but am afraid to get pregnant right off. We can't really afford any other birth control right now. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

2010-10-11T23:38:00.000-07:00

Wow! A new post after two months of nothing! A lot has happened since I last posted. I will start from the beginning and hope I dont forget about anything.

Emma has been doing awesome going to the bathroom like a big girl. She had a minor set back but nothing serious. I am so proud of her. She is doing awesome with Lilly. Best big sister anyone could ask for. She is so helpful.
Lilly is crawling all over the place. Ok ok...she is scooting all over. She can crawl but she scoots faster so thats what she turns to. She LOVES her food. Her recent favorites are mangos and pears. Any time she goes to eat, she will growl at her food and then eat it. It is so funny. She loves jumping and playing in her jumparoo. It makes it really easy to get my homework done.
Trev and I are doing good. We are both going to school and taking our shifts with the kids. Its a lot of fun. Trev was recently laid off from his job. Its really nice to have him home and catching up one time. We are both applying all over the place. Crossing our fingers that we will find something. He has been filing for unemployment but somehow our case got screwed up in their office. We have a hearing on the 20th, so hopefully we will start receiving unemployment.

We have been going to help clean the church every Saturday morning for the last couple of weeks. Its been a lot of fun. I big thanks to Andrea Stratton for doing our family pictures for us. She did an amazing job!!

~Potty Training~

2010-08-07T16:47:00.000-07:00

So a couple of months ago we tried to get Emma to start going potty in the "BIG GIRL POTTY"! We have tried rewarding her and tried doing a bunch of different thing to get her interested. Well after a while we just decided that she wasn't ready and that we were tired of cleaning up the messes. This past month she decided on her own that she didn't like having a wet bum and she didn't like the feeling of sitting in her own poop. Emma is now wearing her diapers only at night time. As soon as she wakes up in the morning she asks for her "BIG GIRL PANTS" and wants her clothes on. She is doing AWESOME!! We are so proud of her! :)WE LOVE YOU EMMA!!

I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE!!!

2010-07-14T01:32:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking a lot lately about my family and about the gospel and about all the people in my life that have had an influence on me in one way or another. Sometimes I sit and think about my girls and if I am teaching them what I am supposed to or if I am teaching them enough. It crosses my mind quite frequent about my girls. Here I am....I am given two of the most beautiful girls as a gift from our Heavenly Father and all He expects in return is that we teach them of Him and help them return to HIM!! What a great example of LOVE and TRUST!! I am so thankful to have a knowledge of the gospel and KNOW and be able to FEEL the love that Christ has for ALL of us. I am so thankful for my mom for raising me in the gospel and for her amazing example. I am also thankful for my mother/father-in-law for the perfect example they are to us every day. Most of all I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. I am so blessed to know he is worthy and able to attend the temple and recieve those blessings. There is no other feeling that can outlast a knowledge of being together FOREVER as a family!

Now after thinking about all of this....especially with my girls...Emma gave me the BEST answer to my prayers. We were driving around and everytime we would pass a church Emma would get all excited and start yelling, "LOOK MOM...THERE IT IS!!" Then she would turn as far around in her seat as she could to make sure she could get a good look. Then as we drove past the St. George Temple she says in a more revrent voice, "Mommy...it's Jesus' house. Isn't it so pretty?!" I was hit so strong by the spirit. It was exactly what I needed at that exact moment. I have been asking if I have been doing enough and if I need to do more to teach my girls about the gospel. Small and Simple, but I got my answer(for now at least).

I LOVE THE GOSPEL!!

2010-07-12T12:40:00.000-07:00

WOW!! I am so bad at keeping up on my blog. A part of it is that we just barely got our computer fixed and the other half is that I am just a slacker. SO sorry for all of you that follow my blog and try to keep up on us!!

Now for a little update....

Its been a crazy summer. We have been out of town quite a bit. Its been a lot of fun being away and visiting family and old friends. We can never get enough family time. We hope to make one last trip up north before the summer is over and school starts. We want to go visit our good friends in Idaho and visit my mom.
Since my mom moved at the beginning of the summer, Emma has discovered her new IMAGINARY FRIEND named GRANDMA!!! I think its so funny but at the same time it is so sad...she misses her granny. She is also starting to swim in the pool by herself...with the tube of course..but its a start. She doesn't have to hang on me anymore! I can't get enough of Emma. She is such a great little helper. Emma is the best big sister that she can possibly be. She loves holding and playing with Lilly. Its so fun watching them together!

Lilly is sitting up on her own now! I'm so grateful for that since she would just cry unless she was upright. She still doesn't have any teeth! She is rolling all over the floor. She gets onto her stomach and tries to get onto her knees. When she finally gets onto her knees, she tries to push herself up with no luck. She just scoots instead. Its fun going through all of this baby fun again. Lilly is our little fish!! She loves bath time, and LOVES being in the swimming pool!
Trev is still working and will be going back to school in the fall. He hopes to accomplish his CNA this semester. He is amazing...I know he can do it! He has been working in the cafeteria in the Temple every saturday evening. I'm so glad he is worthy and able to do so. I am so thankful everyday that I have him. He is such an incredible help and support. I couldn't ask for a better husband.
I am starting school this fall! I am so excited. I'm going for Elementary Education. I've wanted to do this for a long time and am now getting the opportunity to do so!

2010-04-06T16:14:00.000-07:00

We are all finally starting to feel a little better! (knock on wood) Little wasn't as congested this morning and even though Emma is still coughing its not as wet and gross as it was. YAY!! You never realize how much you take advantage of your health until you don't have it anymore.
Emma was jumping off the couch today, yelling TADA and she had Lilly laughing. It is so much fun to watch her when she laughs. I love how her little body just bounces. :)
Tomorrow is mine and Trev's 3 year anniversary. I can't believe it. Time has seriously flown by. 3 years really isn't that long but I am so happy to have made it this far. I am truely blessed to have such a wonderful husband and daddy to my babies. I LOVE YOU TREV!!!

SICK SICK SICK!

2010-04-05T09:26:00.000-07:00

Friday Lilly woke up with a dry cough that sounded more like allergies then anything..by the end of the day she had a really wet croupy cough! We went into the instacare and they said it was only colds that we all had but they wanted me to take Lilly to the hospital to get sucked out and get a breathing treatment. I hate that...Emma had to have that done when she was this age because she had RSV! Throughout the weekend we have been in and out of the hospital with Lilly! Now this morning Emma is coughing really bad. Will this ever end. I hate seeing my girls suffer. It brakes my heart!! I think the best part of it all is that Lilly is so happy no matter what. I love her!! Hopefully we will all be better this week and we can get back to our usual selves.

The MIDGET!!

2010-03-31T23:16:00.000-07:00

I was reading my friends blog and laughed so hard. I had to share. I hope you like it! I know I did! :) Thanks Brooke!!

This is a TRUE story.

This guy who works for my uncle randy's has a neighbor with a 37 year old son with some mental handicaps. A little while after the mom went to work she got a call from her son, he said Mom you need to come home, i caught a troll you need to come see it..... Needless to say the mom had no idea what he was talking about and was not able to leave work so she told him she couldn't come home. He called about 5 more times with the same thing asking his mom to come home cause he caught a troll. Finally the mom knew she had to go home and see what was going on, so she asked her boss if it was okay to run home and see what was going on.

When she gets home her son is pacing the hallway, sweating and stressed out. He said mom, look at this troll i caught. She follow him into the room, he has his dresser pushed up against the closet doors and his bed also. Obviously at this point the mom is thinking 'What is going on?!' So he moves the dresser and opens the closet doors, and inside was a little man...A MIDGET....of course the mom cant believe what she is seeing, and the son is so proud that he caught a troll......the gentleman in the closet said to the mom, after being locked in the closet for 5 hours and listening to your son i have realized he has some mental issues, i dont want to press charges i just want to go home...

I guess he was a Jehovah Witness and when the son opened the door and saw the little person he thought he was a troll and caught him and put him in his closet....for luck!

I cant imagine how that mom felt and what she was thinking when she realized that her son had kidnapped this man and trapped him in the closet.

2010-03-31T23:07:00.000-07:00

After laughing at Trever, Emma, and then my mom...

LILLY FINALLY LAUGHED AT ME!!
She is so dang adorable. I love everything about her! :) I was pretty excited and had to share!

2010-03-30T12:13:00.000-07:00

Its happening!!! Emma is starting to branch out. She's leaving my side and is getting out of her comfort zone to go play with the other kids in the neighborhood. Even though she knows them all..she still has been a little shy. It was so much fun to watch her ride her little bike up the street to play with the kids. She made sure to turn around every 5 seconds to tell me she loved me. She is so sweet. I love her to pieces!

Lilly woke up and was completely happy this morning. I love days like that. I got her dressed and changed her diaper which only made her mood even more happy. She couldn't stop smiling so I couldn't help but stop to take a picture. She is such a sweet little reminder to what life is about. I am so blessed to have both of my girls!

I love you Emma and Lilly!

The best day of the week!!

2010-03-28T13:47:00.000-07:00

Can I tell you how much I love Sundays!! I love how life just slows down for a few hours and I get some perfect family time in. Sunday is really the only day that I get to sit back and spend time with Trev because of school and work.

I am so thankful for the gospel in my life. I can't even imagine how it would be to not have all the knowledge of eternity and life after death. I am so grateful for the atonement. I am especially thankful for temples. It is such a blessing to be able to go sit and take part of the peace that is there. I am eternally grateful to have my family sealed together.

I woke Emma up this morning to her actually being in a very good mood. She was so happy to be here and just wanted to hug me and snuggle for a minute. Then Lilly woke up and when she seen me the first thing she did was give me a huge smile. I am thankful for them and the little reminders they give me to what life is really about.

Update!!

2010-03-27T23:39:00.000-07:00

Wow! I have to appologize for not blogging in forever. I really kinda suck at keeping up on this stuff! Both our computers crashed too so that played a big roll in me being a slacker too. I will do better...I promise!

I'm not sure where to begin!

Trev had his 21st birthday on March 21st. We didn't do much but I got him some gaming things and let him have a night. I think he liked that.

Emma is growing so fast. She is getting so smart. She is learning how to sing the alphabet and how to do head shoulders knees and toes. I love when she sings...she has such a sweet little spirit. She got invited to her very first birthday party a few weeks ago. She loved it. She came home with a little princess wand and bracelets and a little ring pop. I love that she is getting to the point where she can go out and play but doesn't have to have me right there beside her...even though I am most the time anyways. Emma's most special friend is our neighbor Oakley. She loves him to pieces. He is one one of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are blessed to have great neighbors.

Lilly is growing too fast. She is supposed to stay small and be my baby for a while. She is already 3 months. She has laughed at Trev, Emma and my mom but just won't do it for me. Ha ha...Eventually I guess. Her little smiles just melt my heart. Lilly has such a personality already. I can't wait for her to get a little older and get to know her a little more. I love being able to help her and watch her grow. Trever blessed Lilly on Valentines Day. It was such a special experience because he didn't get the opportunity to bless Emma.

I am so thankful that Heavenly Father trusts us enough to bless us with these two beautiful girls. I love being a mom!! :)

Happy New Year!

2010-01-04T11:13:00.000-08:00

Happy new year everyone! Its crazy how fast 2009 flew by. A lot has happened over the year that I am so grateful for and I just want to thank everyone for being a part of our lives.

Wow! Lilly is already growing up. She is lifting her head and is so alert. She lost her umbi cord on Saturday morning. I can't believe how happy and patient she is...I LOVE IT!! She is always sneaking in little smiles to let us know how much she loves us! AND believe it or not...she is already a DADDY'S GIRL!! She starts looking around and just smiles as soon as Trev comes in the room and starts talking. Trev says that one day we will get a kid that just wants mommy all the time. LOL! I am OK with Daddy's girls though. I love watching how proud Trev gets while he talks about them or when he is loving on them. He is one heck of a dad. I am so grateful to have him around.

Emma is such a good big sister. She is so helpful in everything she does. I was worried about jealousy and her adjusting to Lilly but she has been great. Anytime Lilly starts crying at all Emma runs right to her side to hold her hand and calm her down. Its really fun to see the bond that they already have..and the one that keeps growing stronger. I am glad to see Emma being the protective sister and guardian over Lilly!

I want to take a minute and thank Trever's family for all the love and support they have given us...throughout the past month especially. You have all been an immense help. We are so grateful that you have been right behind us with every aspect of our lives. WE LOVE YOU!!

We are truly BLESSED!!

WELCOME HOME LILLY!!

2009-12-26T11:08:00.000-08:00

Lilly Jean Murri is FINALLY here! She is so beautiful and perfect. Things couldn't be any better! She was born on December 23rd at 10:52 AM weighing 9 LBS 4 OZ and was 20 1/2 inches long! I definitely didn't expect her to be that big. She has a head full of dark brown hair and lond fingers and toes!

I was set to be induced on the 23rd but my water broke while I was walking home from the neighbors house the night before. My contractions were 2-3 minutes apart and I couldn't even feel them. They started me on an antibiotic as soon as I got to the hospital...after poking me 4 times and finally it worked. We started the petocin about 4 ours after we arrived, and then I got the epidural at 5:45 AM. I almost didn't get it...he had to poke me 3 or 4 different times before it finally worked. My back has been so sore! You have got to love it! Everything went great. I was competing with the girl in the next room over...we had the same doctor and were both dialated to and eight! She ended up going first so they were hurrying to get her baby here because Lilly was coming fast! Our babies were born within 13 minutes of eachother. Its amazing how the whole process works! These little babies are such miracles. We are so blessed to have Lilly and Emma!

We got home around noonish on Christmas Eve! It feels great to be home and all together again. I missed Emma a lot more than I thought I was going to. She is one of the best big sisters and a big helper!

We will update more later!

Wednesday!!

2009-12-21T11:27:00.000-08:00

I had another follow up appointment today! I am 80% efaced and dialated to a 4+! We set me induction date for WEDNESDAY!! YAY! I am so excited to finally meet Lilly and have this sweet little spirit back in our home again. Emma doesn't seem to really understand that we will be bringing her home this week but she seems pretty excited when we talk about her. I can't wait to see her with Lilly!
I also got thinking back with this pregnancy...I have been really looking forward to mondays for a change. Its funny how kids change things isn't it! I love being a mom. Its the greatest feeling in the world. I am so blessed to be able to not only have just Emma but now Lilly too. Two beautiful little girls. The Lord is so great to bless us with these tiny spirits! I love everything about them. :)
I will update when I know more about the time we go in and everything! Thanks to all of you for your love and support! <3

Santa Claus is coming to town!

2009-12-10T02:12:00.000-08:00

Santa Claus came to the clubhouse tonight so I took Emma down to get pictures with him. She doesn't really know who he is so I have been showing her pictures and such online so she wouldn't be so afraid to sit on his lap. No such luck with that....we set her down on his lap and even though I was right there holding her hand the whole time...she FREAKED OUT! It was aweful. This is as close as she would let me get her to him after that. She was so excited for the candy cane though and even told him thank you. Maybe better luck next year. :) I do have to say...Santa looked really great. I have seen a lot of santa's in my lifetime but none as good as this!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

....and it begins....

2009-12-08T09:24:00.001-08:00

I had another follow up appointment yesterday...at this point we are down to every week visits! As always they do your regular weight check and blood pressure check. Over the last two weeks I have had a rapid weight gain of 8 lbs. and on top of that my blood pressure was really high! (140/70) Over the past two weeks I have really been feeling really crappy. I have been seriously sleeping ALL DAY LONG...no joke. I am so thankful for Trev's help. When I haven't been sleeping I have been having really bad headaches and bad contractions along with them. Here I am thinking that its just the end of the pregnancy and that I am just being a baby. It turns out that I am at the start of having TOXEMIA! Great news huh?! Thats what I wanted to hear when I went in yesterday! I have to say tho...its better than having to have Dr. Benham turn Lilly around. SHE IS HEAD DOWN!! YAY!! That was such a relief to hear. No C-Section for me. :D I am dialated to 3 cm. If I don't go before monday he is going to strip my membranes to see if that will put me into labor before Christmas. Crossing my fingers that it works! I would love to have her here for Christmas!

Not the best picture of me but at least I got one, right?!

36 Weeks 2 Days

We will let you all know what we find out this coming Monday! :)

Lilly update!

2009-11-23T22:01:00.000-08:00

Just a little update on me and Lillly...I had a regular checkup today. Lilly is still breech and I have an appointment set with the doctor on the 7th of December to do another ultrasound and Dr. Benham is going to try to turn her if she hasn't yet! If that doesn't work we are going to schedule a C-Section. Talk about FREAK ME OUT!! I have Trev's dad coming over tomorrow to help Trev give me and Lilly a blessing to see if that will help us some. Dr. Benham wants to start me at 39 weeks if I haven't gone into labor by then. We will do another ultrasound then to make sure she is turned.
I will be 39 weeks exactly on Christmas Day! Crazy huh?! I have been having some really good contractions for about a week and a half now...off and on. I will let you know more when I find out on the 7th!

Lots of NEW POSTS!

2009-11-17T14:49:00.000-08:00

Sorry to post them all on the same day but I have been a slacker and have been seriously needing to update my blog. See below posts to catch up with us Murri's. :)

CLEANING...CLEANING...CLEANING!!

2009-11-17T14:25:00.000-08:00

This past Saturday was a pretty busy day for us! Friday night I made sure all the house was vaccumed and that ALL the furniture was moved out so we would be ready for the morning! We got up around 7:00 Saturday morning and my little sister came and helped us shampoo our carpets. YAY!! They were in some desperate need of some attention. After the carpets had dried...me, Trev, and even little Emma set to work washing walls..baseboards...doing dishes...doing laundry, and all the other little household chores. I was in a major cleaning frenzie! I wanted/needed my house clean!! I couldn't stand it being the way it was anymore. Everyone else says it wasn't that bad...and who knows...I think I am just nesting!! LOL! We have our semi-anual house inspection coming right around the same time that we will be bringing Lilly home so this will help out immensly. Trev was begging for a break by late afternoon so I decided to give him just that. We all deserved it! THE HOUSE LOOKS GREAT!! Trev is such an amazing guy for putting up with me and helping me out. I sure do love him.
I jumped into the shower while Trev and Emma were playing in the living room...I can't tell you how good that shower felt after such a long day at cleaning. After that...we drove into St. George to do a little Christmas shopping..at Trev's request. He had clipped a coupon from a Target ad at his parents house for a three wheeled princess scooter for Emma. She is going to LOVE it. All of the kids in the neighborhood are always out playing and riding bikes and she is always saying she wants to ride one. I can't wait to see her reaction to it. We also got her a new pair of pajamas. It is an old family tradition of mine to open up one present Christmas Eve..usually jammies! We will have to see how money is to get her anything else for Christmas. I am so grateful that we can base it around CHRIST and teach her what Christmas is really all about! :)

Christmas lights!

2009-11-17T14:13:00.000-08:00

So the past two years we have waited until after Thanksgiving to put up our Christmas lights. This year we decided not to wait and we put them up a few weekends ago. Trev decided he likes it better this way....he wasn't freezing his butt off while up on the roof. Last year it was windy when they got put up and poor Trev nearly froze. Ok not really considering that we live in Southern Utah...but that wind gets pretty cold. We decided that we are going to start putting them up at the begining of November and not plug them in until after Thanksgiving!
One thing I am not waiting until after Thanksgiving to do is listening to Christmas MUSIC....I LOVE IT!! I have been listening to the Christmas station on the radio since it started at the begining of November. It plays non-stop. Don't get me wrong...I love Thanksgiving but I can't get enough of the Christmas atmosphere and the feeling and positive energy that comes with it!

Crazy hours of the night!

2009-11-17T13:55:00.000-08:00

WOW! This pregnancy is so different from when I was pregnant with Emma. I love it for all that it is but if there was any way possible to change one thing...I would! Lilly decided just this past week that she doesn't want to stay still at night...instead she is constantly up kicking and tossing and turning in there! I have been getting up around 2am and staying up until about 5. The past 2 or 3 nights I have been having some really good contractions with it too. She has such a little personality! I can't wait for next month to come so I can finally meet her! :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

2009-11-03T23:18:00.000-08:00

Halloween was so much fun this year! Emma was so into it and loved getting all of that candy! She really didn't get that much but to her it was a lot. Her favorite part was dressing up in her costume. She was having a blast. We went to the trunk or treat over at our church and then we walked her around our neighborhood!
Trev and I weren't sure if we were going to dress up or not. We finally decided at the last minute that it would be fun if we did. Trev ran to walmart to look and see what was left of the costumes and luckily found something that worked for both of us! :) End result:
Trever - CELL BLOCK PSYCHO
ADRIANNA - KITTY
EMMA - PIRATE PRINCESS

She is so stinkin adorable! I just LOVE her!! :D

SICK! :(

2009-10-21T19:31:00.000-07:00

WOW! I forgot how much I hate being sick! I haven't been really sick for a long time. We went up to my nephew's baby blessing over the weekend and I came home sick! BLAH!! :(
I was perfectly fine Sunday when we came home but Monday I was really congested and was coughing. It was really weird cause it went so deep into my lungs and chest so fast. Tuesday was about the same except for I had body aches and was EXTREMELY tired on top of it! Now today I woke up and was running a fever and couldn't stay out of the bathroom. Trev thought maybe it was just the pregnancy that was making me so tired until he seen me this morning. I think I kinda freaked him out. I wasn't doing good at all. I have been really dizzy and lightheaded.
I am very grateful that Trev didn't have all of his classes today! He is such a big help to me. I love having him around. I couldn't ask for a better hubby! I LOVE YOU TREV...THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, LOVE, and SUPPORT!!

LILLY UPDATE!!

2009-10-14T11:21:00.000-07:00

I had one of my regular doctors visits yesterday! YAY right?! Lucky me I got to do my glucose test. I absolutley hate those drinks. They are GROSS! Anyways..I made it through my blood test for it and everything turned out fine with that so he isn't concerned at all about my legs, feet, and hands swelling. While he was measuring Lilly he was a little shocked to find that she is measuring at 32 weeks instead of the 28 that we are pretty sure that I am at. That is a whole month ahead of schedule. We are going to do an ultrasound on the tenth of November to see if it is just extra fluid that is making me measure bigger or if I am farther along than we are thinking. Either way it works out great for me! :) I love having ultrasounds and seeing the baby!
With the cold and flu season going around they have a lot of rules and regulations at the hospital and doctors offices. While in the hospital I am only allowed to have 2 visitors at a time. Anyone under the age of 14(including siblings) are not allowed. If I am sick I have to go to the hospital for my regular visits instead of the doctors office. Emma can't come with me at all to any of my appointments anymore...but luckily Trever can. Thank goodness for that. They had called and told me that no one was able to come with me and then I talked to them at the office.
I just love cold and flu season....NOT!!! I am just crossing my fingers and hoping and praying that none of us get sick this year!

What to be?

2009-10-07T12:27:00.000-07:00

So I have been looking around at Halloween costumes and have been getting different ideas from different people about what we should be for halloween. My mom has some costumes that I used to wear when I was a little girl and I think that I found the costume for Emma. As much as I hated being a witch when I was younger...I am making Emma wear my old costume. She looks so cute in it and she likes the hat. I am hoping that it all works out. This way it is a costume that I can put extra warm clothes on her and not have her look goofy. LOL!
Now for me and Trev...I am not sure what we are going to be yet. We decided that we wanted to dress up with Emma but don't know what to be. I guess if Emma's witch outfit doesn't work out and if we can't find costumes for us then I can use my sister's idea....I will be an OVEN(since i have a little baby cooking), Trev will be the BAKER, and Emma can be our little MUFFIN. LOL! Cute huh?!

I NEED A NEW PHONE!!

2009-09-29T17:54:00.000-07:00

I have been on the phone with Alltel for a good portion of the day today....so not fun. I have only had my phone since the middle of December 2008 and my phone is already broken. I don't have an available upgrade until August of next year so I can't just get a new one without paying a ton of money that we dont have right now. They told me that it would be $50 just to file my claim for the insurance I have been paying for and then the extra money for a phone to send back to me...GRRR! I am frustrated..I don't see the point in paying for insurance if it does no good anyways. My phone wont charge...the piece that hooks onto my charger is broken and now my speaker is totally gone. You can't put it on speaker at all and when I talk to people it sounds all muffled and its hard to understand or hear. I just love it.
If anyone has an old ALLTEL phone that they aren't using that they wouldn't mind giving up we would really appreciate it! It can't be a number disconnected from nonpayment and of course can't be stolen or it won't work. :)

I have to tell you how much I....

2009-09-04T08:51:00.000-07:00

...LOVE my husband!! He is such a great person! I couldn't have asked for a better husband and daddy to my children! Trev has been extra helpful and supportive lately even though he is so busy with his homework!
The other day was one of those LONG hard days that we all have from time to time and it just happened to be on his long day at school! I have been getting really bad migraines with this pregnancy and it totally puts me out! Trev being the sweety that he is, came home and instantly took Emma and went outside to play and took her for a walk right after running me a bath, lighting a candle and turning on some soft music! It made her day to have Trev spending that one on one time with her. I loved having that time to myself but the more that I am by myself, the more I just want to be with my family. I love it when he suprises me with things like that. It makes it all so much better! Anyways....
I just wanted to take a minute and tell Trev how much I love and appreciate everything he does for us! I am so grateful to have such a caring husband. I LOVE YOU TREV!! <3

Laptop fun!!

2009-09-01T17:53:00.000-07:00

Emma was laughing so hard about this picture! I was crying because I was laughing so hard at her!! It was a lot of fun! This is our favorite out of all the pictures we took! :) So Trev needed a new laptop for his nursing program for college! After a long wait, it finally came today!! I called him and told him what I was sitting at home playing with and he was bummed that he wasn't home! He is so excited to have his new little toy!! Me and Emma have been playing with it and having our own little fun too! I had to come and share the funny little pictures that I got of Emma while we were trying out the webcam! =D

We love her bug eyes in this one! She kept giving me this look like what is wrong with my eyes mom! She was laughing pretty hard!!

She looks kinda scared in this first picture! LOL! LOVE IT!!

We hope you liked looking at our goofy pics!! We sure had a lot of fun getting them!! =D

EMMA IS...

2009-08-31T18:03:00.001-07:00

2 years old as of Friday the 28th!

These past two years have gone by way too fast! When did my little baby girl start growing up?! They say to cherish the moment but man...! I feel so blessed to have our sweet little Emma in our family! She keeps us busy and always on our toes!

These are Emma's pretty princess shoes that she got for her birthday(minus the pink pair)!! If anyone knows Emma they will know about her shoe fetish! SHE LOVES HER SHOES!!

She also got a set of building blocks, two outfits from mommy and daddy, a teddy bear from Aunt Dani and Uncle Trent, a princess vanity mirror and chair set from Aunt Angie, Uncle Ramsey and cousins, a primary tape set from Aunt Stacy and the boys, and two dollars from Grandma and Grandpa Murri(Trev's granparents)!

We had a little family birthday party for her this year! My side of the family wasn't able to make it except for Dani because they were all out of town but Trev's side came out and had dinner, cake and ice cream with us! It was a lot of fun! Emma just ADORES Grandpa Murri(GENE) and her uncle CHAD!!! It made her day to have them at her house since we are usually at their house! We also invited the Bonewells(our neighbors) over! Their son Oakley is Emma's best buddy! She LOVED having him over.

So Emma was born with Daddy completely wrapped her little finger. After two years....DADDY IS STILL WRAPPED!! She loves him almost as much as he loves her! They are so fun to watch together! I sure do LOVE them both!! <3

BABY GIRL!!

2009-08-31T15:20:00.000-07:00

We went in for our ultrasound on the 18th to find out what we are having! Its another little girl! YAY! Emma is going to have a baby sister!

So this first picture is of her head and stomach, and the second is of her little girly parts and her butt and legs!

Dr. Benham was having a really hard time getting this picture to find out what the sex is so he wants to do another ultrasound just to make sure. That is a big comfort to me to know that he wants to double check! I am such a planner and would so be stressing it if I was expecting a girl and it came out a boy! I know it happens but OH BOY!! I would freak! I am totally loving the thought of having another girl! We are totally set with all of the girl clothes and everything! Girls are so much fun!!! I am so excited to be having this baby! The pregnancy has been so easy and I am loving it! My stomach has been a little more sore than I ever was with Emma but I am just ignoring that little bit of it! Emma is always hugging and kissing my belly! She is so cute! I am excited to actually get this baby here and having Emma actually see her and play with her! She loves little babies!

We were watching Dora the Explorer this morning...it was about Dora becoming a big sister! I asked Emma if she was going to be a big sister and she looks at me and just smiles! About 5 minutes later she looks at me again and says, "Mom, I a big fifter!" LOL!! She is having a hard time with her S's so it was just so cute! I LOVE HER TO PIECES!!!

So after talking about names and changing our mind a million times we finally decided what to name this little girl!

LILLY JEAN MURRI

Happy 4th of July!

2009-07-09T21:32:00.000-07:00

We are a little late at getting this on but I have a legitimate excuse!

Our 4th of July was a lot of fun for the most part! We had the chance to get away and visit family! That is always nice! We went up to Richfield on Friday and stayed at my sister Angie's house! When we got there we had a little bit to settle in and then load right back up in the van again! It was my nephew's birthday on Monday so we went up to Fish Lake and went fishing for the rest of the day! It was a lot of fun watching Emma run around having fun! Saturday we got up and walked up the street to the parade! The load sirens and other things really freaked Emma out but I think she had fun for the most part! She was tired after a long night and an early morning! Later in the evening we went over to Salina and went to their parade! We met up with my brother Brad and his family there! It was a lot of fun to see them. We were busy helping the kids and trying to keep them out of the street when the parade started and then all of a sudden the fire alarm went off. We didn't really think anything of it until they had to put a stop to the parade for a minute as the fire trucks went through and they stopped by where our van was parked! I sent Trev to the van to get "WATER", but really to see what was going on! There was a suburban that was a couple parking spaces away that started on fire! Their transmission fluid all leaked out and then the flames started! SCARY!!! I am glad it wasn't us and that our van was safe!! After the parade we went over to my dad's house and visited for a while! Fireworks were later that night and the rest is pretty much history and isn't worth telling about! Overall it was a great weekend and we had fun!

2009-06-30T16:00:00.001-07:00

We are still looking for a dryer since ours has recently stopped working! My dad fixed it when it stopped working the first time when he was down for Dani and Trent's wedding. That little fix only lasted for a short time. I am grateful that he bought us time but we are now on the search again!!

If anyone knows of anyone that is getting rid of or selling a dryer would you please let us know?! We would very much appreciate it!

Going to the doctor!

2009-06-19T13:01:00.000-07:00

We had another doctors visit for our new little addition today! The heart rate is up in the 160's and everything looks and sounds great! We will find out in August what we are having! YAY!!! I can't wait! Trever is very set on it being a boy and is always getting Emma to come say BOY to me! They are too funny! Stacy and my mom think its a girl. I am not so sure what to think yet.

What do you think?!

BOY!!

or another GIRL!!

I guess we will have to wait and see!!

Emma! Emma! Emma!

2009-06-18T14:15:00.001-07:00

Emma is so stinkin cute! I love her to death. She never ceases to amaze me. She is starting to talk a lot and is dancing everywhere she goes! She is learning how to shake her little butt!! LOL!!! Someone please help me! =D

Some of the things she is getting really good at saying are:

Popsicle

Mommy-but she calls me nanna because thats what Carson calls me! GRRR!! Cute but very annoying!

Daddy (but mostly she likes calling him Trever because it irritates him and she gets a reaction out of him-she says Trever really good too)

Grandma(which is more of mama)

Chase

Carson

and of course Stacy

Dani(but is trying to say Danielle) its cute

Trent- her lover boy! She adores him!

swimsuit - she loves the water

Wawa -WATER

Doggy - she will then pat her legs and try to call one over...its funny!

Shoe - She loves her shoes!!!!

I want one

I LOVE YOU!! - I love that one the most out of all of them!! :)

Please and Thank you!!

Ok so you get the point....she is talking a lot! I love being around her. She is my little reminder everyday of what I need to be working. She loves to say prayers and is constantly reminding us to say them.

Anyways...enough about me rambling on! I added these pictures because they are soooo cute! We were in the van watching Shark Tales waiting for Trever to get out of his doctors appointment and she decided to wear my sunglasses while singing popcorn popping! LOL!

~TRENTON & DANIELLE IPSON~

2009-06-16T15:27:00.000-07:00

So as a lot of you know....Dani recently got married to Trent. It is so weird for me to think that my little sister...the one I have watched out for for all of these years is finally married. I am so excited for the two of them to start their lives together and know that they are going to be, and are now very happy. It was the best feeling in the world to go to the temple with not only Dani and Trent but also Stacy! How amazing is that?! Having two sisters go threw to get their endowments the same day!! I was blessed enough to be ready and worthy to go through. Stacy asked me to be here escort while my mom was escorting Dani. That was so awesome! Then to see Dani and Trent being sealed was the best thing in the world. I am so proud of them! They were able to go and be in the same room that Trever and I were sealed in. It was a lot of fun for me to sit in that room again and not only see me sister and new brother-in-law start their life but to also think back to Trev and I! What a sweet blessing it is to have the temple here so close!

It was a lot of fun to have all of the family here visiting as well! It was definitely nice to have them here to help with the final plans and preparation for the wedding! I don't know how much visiting happened because of the chaos and planning that was left to be completely and totally finished but at least we got to be together and spend that time together! This picture shows my mom, dad & step mom, and all of my brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews with the exception of my oldest brother who passed away in 1998 and his 2 kids that couldn't make it! Now that is a big family!! LOL! I love it though!

Dani and Trent!! We want you both to know how much we love and appreciate the both of you! We are happy that you could go to the temple together and start your lives together on such a happy note. There is no better way to "jump" into your marriage!!

WE LOVE YOU!!

BABY NUMBER 2

2009-05-19T12:39:00.001-07:00

We had our second visit with the doctor today! I am officially 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I know that isn't very far but we are so grateful that Heavenly Father is blessing us with another little baby. Our due date for sure this time is January 1, 2010! The baby is 10.1 cm long. He thinks that it would be nice to get me started on the 30th of december or sometime around there and then we can have the baby before the year is over. If we do it that way...it works out great for him, and we get that extra tax write off. The best part of it all....I would have the baby on my birthday. Wouldn't that be awesome?! I would love that. Dr. Benham gave us a little picture....it isn't much but it was fun to see our little bean. Emma started clapping when we showed her. LOL!

2009-05-01T12:39:00.000-07:00

Ok so we went to the doctor to find out our due date and actually found that we are only 4 weeks along. We have to go back in to get an ultrasound in 2 1/2 weeks to find out our due date. Going off of my periods...they estimated we are due December 10th but he said more than likely we will be his first delivery in January. I will let you all know what we find out at our next appointment! ;)

FINALLY PREGNANT!!

2009-04-29T14:42:00.000-07:00

So for those of you that don't know yet...I took a test yesterday that finally confirmed that I am pregnant. I have been thinking that I might be for about 2 months now but the tests just kept coming up negative. Well Tuesday night I kept dreaming about someone taking a pregnancy test and it coming up positive and then I woke up sick the next morning. I decided to take my test and sure enough...it showed up just like the tests did it my dream. It was kinda cool and VERY exciting. Trever was/is so excited. He just smiles from ear to ear any time we talk about it. He was telling Emma that we are going to have a baby but accidentally said "boyby"! Is was funny. I just turned around and said "well I guess we know what you want this time." He just started laughing and turned back to Emma. I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow to find out our due date and to see how far along we are. I will let you know what we find out.

Sorry the picture is a little hard to see. My phone doesn't take very good pictures and our camera needs some fixing!

DANG DRYERS!

2009-04-13T23:52:00.000-07:00

I was in the middle of doing all (ok so I really just started it) my laundry yesterday when all of a sudden my dryer stopped working. It wouldn't do anything but make this funny noise every time we tried to start it. I ended up hang drying a lot of our clothes but eventually just took them over to my mom's house and used her dryer. I am so glad that I have family nearby that I can call on whenever we need anything. This poor old dryer that we have/had has been through a lot. We got it cheap(FREE) from a neighbor when we didn't have one to start with.

Let us know if you know of anyone that is getting rid of their old dryer or if you know of any cheap places where we can get one. We would really appreciate it. =D

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

2009-04-09T09:37:00.000-07:00

It was our two year anniversary this past Tuesday! It isn't really that long to be together but I am very glad that we made the choice to be together for all eternity. We had the opportunity to go to the temple and partake of the sweet spirit there. I love being there. We took a minute to ourselves and sat in the room we were sealed in. What a sweet blessing it is to know that we are going to be together forever. I am so grateful for the gospel and all of the peace and love it has brought into our home!

HaPpY bIrThDaY!!

2009-03-21T21:48:00.000-07:00

So today is Trever's birthday. He is now officially not a teenager anymore. I have teased him so much about him being a teenager. I love him to death. He is such a huge support to me. I don't know how I got so lucky as to have him in my life but Heavenly Father truly blessed me. I just wanted to let him know how much I do love and support him in all that he does. THANKS TREV!
HAPPY BIG 20

2009-03-21T21:32:00.001-07:00

WOW! What an amazing weekend. It has been so much fun. We stayed at my brothers house in West Valley and Emma got to be entertained by the cousins while I was busy. She had so much fun with my nephew Braxton and neice Dayja. We went to see Trev's grandparents tonight. That was a lot of fun to get to see them again. Emma was acting all funny tho. She hasn't been feeling too hott and was almost acting afraid of them. She is too funny. =D
Career conference was AMAZING! I didn't think that I would have so much fun. I met so many new people and got to bond with the ones that I already knew from unit meetings on Thursday nights. I had a blast. Those women are so positive and upbeat that it is really hard to not have a good time. I wish that every woman could have an experience and be around women like that every day. It is so wonderful to work for a company and work with such supportive women. This trip is exactly what I needed. I am so motivated and ready to jump right in and get started. Let me know if you know anyone or if you would like to book a class. If you don't want to book a class I still need to do facials. I would very much appreciate the support. Can't wait to see you all on monday.
SEE YOU WHEN WE GET HOME!! =D

2009-03-19T13:12:00.000-07:00

I am so excited for today! We are leaving to go up north. I have a MARY KAY conference up in Salt Lake. We are going to stay at my brothers house and also get to see all of the rest of the family that is up there. This is a trip well needed. Even though it isn't a just for fun trip, it is still a lot of fun. I love being able to get away for a while. Trever and Emma are coming with me thank goodness. I don't do very well being away from them for too long. I am excited to stop by Grandma and Grandpa Adair's house. Emma opens up more and more to them the more we see them. It is so fun. Hope you all have a good weekend. See you soon. =D

Happy St. Patties Day!

2009-03-17T10:19:00.000-07:00

This year is Emma's first year to really get into St. Patricks Day. I got up and made her some green eggs and some toast. She just kept saying "GREEN" in her curious little voice. She is so funny. I love her to pieces. She is getting more and more curious about everything the more time goes by. I love being able to teach and love her!

As you can see...she loves brushing her teeth. Its one of her favorite things to do every morning and night. She also loves having family prayer and scripture every night. She will walk through the house until she finds our scriptures. She will carry them over to us and say "PLEASE"?! Emma is definitely our little reminder to be doing the things we need to be doing. I am so grateful to have her around!

FInally...some answers!

2009-03-12T12:35:00.000-07:00

So I went to the doctor for my annual checkup on monday. We have been trying to figure out what the heck is going on with my body and why we haven't been able to get pregnant. We have been trying for a year now and no luck at all(with exception to the miscarriage). I have done several blood tests and all of that not so fun business. We finally decided to do one last blood test. I had to do a fasting two hour glucose test. We found out that the reason my body is being abnormal is because my insulin levels are through the roof. That really scared me because diabetes runs in my family. My levels for my age are supposed to be at a ten or lower but are really at a 33. YIKES!!! Scary right?! I was working out before we found anything out and have been trying to lose weight but now that gives me that extra push. My doctor also prescribed me METFORMIN to help lower my insulin levels. I have to take 500MG for two weeks and then 1000MG for two weeks after that, and then I go back in to see him. He said that everything should start working again and go back to normal once my weight drops and my insulin lowers. Please keep us in your prayers. Thanks for your support. We will keep you all posted as to what happens after that.

2009-03-10T16:41:00.000-07:00

I am going to be doing a little thing for MARY KAY at the clubhouse for anyone that wants to come. I will be there from noon to 1:45 and then I will be back at 3 until 7:30. It will be a lot of fun. You won't want to miss out. We will be doing facials and and a lot of other fun activities. Bring a friend and receive a free gift.

Website

2009-03-06T00:04:00.000-08:00

Ok so I now have an official website for my Mary Kay stuff. I tried to get it to work before but for some reason it didn't set up. I am really excited about this!

www.marykay.com/Murri_Adrianna

More Mary Kay

2009-02-28T13:11:00.001-08:00

So I am officially back into MARY KAY! I am so excited to be doing it. I really do love it this time. I wasn't all that into it before and kept asking myself why I even signed up. I went to my first unit meeting on Thursday. It was so much fun. Those ladies crack me up. I LOVE IT!

I still need to book some parties so if anyone is willing to help me with a crash course..only because I am still learning..I would really appreciate it. The host gets free product(or there are other choices of stuff) and the more people buy at the party the more money off of makeup the host gets. Lots of free stuff and it is always fun.

Thanks everyone!

GROWING GROWING!!

2009-02-18T16:38:00.000-08:00

Emma is growing up so fast. I can't believe how much she is changing. It is just so crazy to me how small she was when she came into this world and now she is just evolving into her own little person. I was just laying there next to her coloring in her little coloring book and just took a minute to stop and observe. She is getting so tall. I know I know...she is still a little midget, but she is so much bigger than what she was. It's a really bitter sweet feeling raising a child and having them grow up so fast. I am absolutely hating that she wants to do everything by herself. I want to be able to help her but when I try she just screams at me. :) Oh boy. I will tell you what, that scream is awful. It is ear piercing. Lol! You've gotta love it. I am so grateful to have her around all the time. She is such a sweet little spirit. Heavenly Father has truly blessed me on this one.

MARY KAY

2009-02-17T13:18:00.000-08:00

So I decided to jump back into my MARY KAY stuff for real this time. If you know anyone or if you need anything will you please let me know. I would appreciate the help and support from everyone. I am a little nervous to be doing this because it isn't in my comfort zone. Oh well...new year. I have just decided that I need to reach out and try something new. I want to start doing color classes and other things like that so let me know if I can help you in any way. THANKS EVERYONE!

POPCORN POPPING!

2009-02-13T15:01:00.000-08:00

Emma's new favorite thing to do is sing and do the actions to POPCORN POPPING! She will come up and start hitting my knee over and over saying mom mom mom mom mom until I finally give in and sing with her. :) She is so fun. She is loving being in the nursery! Her and Jane were dancing and singing to the music until most of the other kids joined in. She also loves bubble time. I love it that something so simple can bring so much joy. It definitely makes you think about life in a new perspective. KIDS ARE GREAT!!

Being sick is NO FUN!!

2009-02-12T22:18:00.000-08:00

So me and Emma are a bunch of sickies this week. It is absolutely no fun. Poor Trever has to suffer through us being cry babies about our little aches and pains. I don't know how he lucked out to be the only one not sick but I am sure glad that he isn't. I came home Wednesday from taking Trev to work and literally threw Emma inside the house and ran for the bathroom. I have been throwing up for the past two days. I hate throwing up...it's the worst feeling in the world for me, and I hate the after taste! YUCK! Emma was up crying and moaning all night. She was burning up. We finally found our thermometer at 4 am and found out that she was 100.5 degrees. POOR GIRL! She is still not feeling all that great but is at least better than what she was. On top of me throwing up I have had a major tooth ache. I went to the dentist today thinking I was going to get it pulled and found out that I had a big abscess above the roots. The dentist did surgery right there on me. He cut open my gums and drilled the ends of my roots. I now am very swollen and in a lot of pain, not to mention the ugly stitches where he had to cut me open. Luckily they are hidden in my mouth. Dr. Howard told me that I was probably throwing up and being so sick because of the infection that was above my teeth. Now that that is all taken care of I am not feeling the least bit sick like I was before. As for the tooth pain...its pretty much the same but now its from the incisions. I can't wait until its all over. I am so grateful for my family for all of the help they have given me through this whole ordeal. And a big thanks to Kylynne for bringing me lunch today.

Jury Duty Follow Up! :/

2009-01-28T19:47:00.000-08:00

Wow! Jury duty was definitely a growing experience. It's scary having the fate of someone's life for the next little period in your hands. In the beginning there were 16 jurors chosen which was then cut down to 8 by the attorneys. I was chosen first both times...my worst nightmare. I was so nervous. The guy that we were there for let a highway patrol officer on a high speed chase. It turned out that he had marijuana in his car. He also had a 5 month old and a 4 year old in the car with him and his girlfriend. Thats very scary because he reached 120 mph in some areas. They finally stopped him and arrested at the boulevard exit in St. George.

I did like being called for jury duty because I did meet a lot of people that I probably would've never known. It was a lot of fun getting to know everyone there with me. Thank you to all of you neighbors that helped us out while I was busy with this. I really appreciate it.

I am so glad to be done....I missed my EMMA!!

Just for the Young Family!

2009-01-28T19:43:00.000-08:00

We just wanted to give a little shout out to the Young Family! We wanted to wish you all luck on Friday. You will be in our prayers. We hope all goes well with your new little addition. Please let us know if we can do anything...that includes taking the kids, cleaning house, or whatever. Seriously....we are here. Let us know what happens. We love you guys...GOOD LUCK!!

Jury Duty

2009-01-23T22:48:00.000-08:00

So I got a letter in the mail saying I had to fill out this paper and send it back in the mail. I am being summoned to be in the jury! I thought ok...what are the chances of them actually calling or wanting me to be in the jury. Sure enough...I jinxed myself. I got another letter in the mail last week saying that I needed to call this number after 6 friday night to receive further instructions. I have to be at the courthouse by 8:30 in the morning. :) I am so thrilled! It will be a new experience...thats for sure. Well its almost midnight and I have to get up early so I am going to bed. NIGHT ALL! :)

2009-01-22T19:38:00.000-08:00

So as some of you know...Trever started working at the Liahona Academy this week. He switched to the swing shift at S & S Steel(which is totally great...we should've done it sooner). He is now working from 2:30 pm-11:00 pm at S &S and then on Tuesdays and Thursdays goes straight from S & S to the Liahona where he works from 11:15 pm- 7:00 am. I miss him a lot and it is taking a lot of work getting into the new schedule. I definitely don't like sleeping by myself those two nights of the week but we have to do what needs to be done. The most important part of the whole situation is that Trever now LOVES his jobs...both of them. Things are starting to look up for him with his working situations...and that means that everything is TONS better at home. Thank you Clay for all your help with the Liahona.

We are still loving the nursery. Those kids are so great. We both feel like we were put there for a reason. Heavenly Father works in funny ways. Ever since we accepted this calling EVERYTHING has been falling right into place. I am so greatful to be able to partake of the sacrament and to go to the temple. It is such a wonder feeling and such a blessing to know that you are worthy enough to enter into the house of the LORD!

So we are very excited! Yesterday we went to officially finalize everything with our van. We found out that our monthly payments will be $30 cheaper than what they told us before. That's great! And while I am talking about car information again...I want to thank Matt Jenkins. He has been so great helping us with insurance when Trev and I both had our cars. He saved us almost $100 the first go around. I called him yesterday to see if he could get us all set up with insurance for the van, and as always, he is so willing to help. The poor guy...he is so busy all the time and then we need help again. LOL!

All of you that went private...will you invite us to your blog?! I have a feeling we are missing out on some great things here.

WOW! It has been a while since we have let anyone know what's going on. Where do we start?! Emma is pretty much over her RSV! She has a lingering cough thats sounds really bad but really sounds great if you heard it in the beginning. We still don't know if we are pregnant or not. I missed my cycle in December(not trying to be gross or anything) and are just waiting for my doctors visit in the beginning of February. Trev is still working for his dad and having fun.

Christmas was great. We went up to Ogden to Grandma and Grandpa Adair's house and caught up with my family on the way back home. It is always fun to get away and visit everyone you never see. Emma still didn't really know what to think about it but she had tons of fun playing with all the kids. We were home for new years. In my family we have a little tradition for about the past 4 years now. My nephew Carson and I share the same birthday(new years eve)! We all get together and have a birthday/new years party. It is a lot of fun.

We are in a new ward now and are LOVING IT!! Bishop Salley is so great. We do miss the old ward. We made lots of friends and absolutely loved the bishopric. I am going to miss everyone that we don't keep in touch with out of church, but as for the rest of you that we do keep in touch with I am really glad for. As some of you know...Trever and I have been called/sentenced(as some put it) to the nursery! We have only been there one week but helped out occasionally in the other ward. We LOVE it! The kids teach us more than we teach them. We are sure of it. Yes they do cry a lot and it tries your patience but their spirits are so strong. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Our car has been having problems and we didn't know why. It wouldn't start in the mornings and had a really hard time starting in the evenings. My dad was down the first weekend in January and looked at it. He found out that my tranny was going out and that all my wiring and plugs needed to be replaced...on top of fixing my brakes that we already knew about. Here is the exciting part! We got a 2002 Honda Odyssey. We have been looking for a new vehicle for a while now and have been waiting for this car to finally have its last stand. We have prayed about where to go and what to get and luckily enough, this van fell right into our hands. WE LOVE IT!

Anyways, thats it for now. Sorry its so long! A lot has happened and we have been so busy!

So as some of you know..we took Emma to the doctor yesterday. She has had a really bad cough for the past 3-4 days. We thought it was that whooping cough that is going around. It turns out that it was croup and rapidly turned into RSV! The reason it happened so fast for her this time is because she had already had RSV and is more susceptible to it. She will be contagious for at least ten days unless she gets over it before then. Hopefully it wont last as long this time. We don't have to take her to the hospital like we did last time thankfully. We are just asking everyone to keep her in your prayers. THANKS!!

I have my follow up appointment for my fertility drug today so I will let you know how that goes. Hopefully it did something for us. I guess we will see.

Update

So I started taking my clomid and finished on wednesday. We are now just waiting for the magic to happen, with some help from Trever and I, of course. I hate having the hott and cold flashes and the major dizzy spells I get as a side effect but it will be totally worth it in the end. We will keep you posted on that.
Emma is getting more teeth. She is so miserable. She won't call for dad anymore its just MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM over and over. She is a major cutie but man she can get annoying...LOL. We have been up at my sister's house in Richfield and got to play in a little bit of snow. Emma has never seen snow before so it was really fun watching her run around trying to figure out where it came from and what it was.
Trever is still working with his dad at S and S Steel. It is a pretty ok job but if anyone knows of a better place please let him know. He would love to get out of there. Trev is also planning on going to school in either the summer or the fall to be a nurse. He is planning on going further than nursing but thats his start.
Veronica did our family pictures for us. She did such a great job. There is nothing I love more than a photographer that catches the childs true character. She has pictures posted on her photography blog. We also had pictures done by my friend Rachel Wilson who is also opening up her own photography business. We were just helping her out with some advertising but she did such a great job that I think I am going to buy hers too. She is really cheap and does a geat job if anyone is looking for anyone. Rachel also posted pics so go take a look. lifeisbeautifulphotography.blogspot.com
We will keep you posted if anything else happens.

Finally dropping weight!

So the ladies in my neighborhood have started doing this fitness program that I got involved in. I am so grateful I did. We weigh in every Tuesday evening and walk every night (well some of us walk every night). We are also putting in a dollar ever time we weigh in and whoever loses the most percentage of fat gets the money at the end of the month. I am so happy with myself for having the discipline and self control that I have had. I have been walking every night and day and started cutting my meals in half and not eating after six o clock. So far I have lost NINE pounds. That is so good for me! I am so proud of myself. Thanks for all your support ladies!! YEAH!!!

Pregnant yet?!

2008-11-10T10:38:00.000-08:00

So we went to the doctors on thursday for my checkup with my zoloft. We ended up talking to my doctor about not being able to get pregnant again. We have been trying for a long time to get pregnant again and had no success. He talked to me about what we have done and what we want the outcome to be and then prescribed me a pill called Clomid. Its a steroid that wil stimulate me overies and help me get pregnant. I have to wait for my time of the month to start taking them so I haven't tried it yet but I am excited to see the outcome. We will let you know what happens!

Just another day at the Murri house. Emma is changing and getting so big. She is walking all over the place and is into everything. She is starting to get her molars in and is miserable. Emma doesn't want her mommy to help her with anything...I hate it! She just wants to do her own thing and be outside. She still loves to go on walks with me.

Hahahahahaha. I'm on here now.
