over due updates

Last week Ella was sick with the flu bug. She had a lot of fun with her throw up buckett. I thought it was cute that she was a happy camper even though she was sick.


This is Ella when she is healthy and looking cute as can be at 6 months.

When we were down in the Tri-cities last. Brayden and Grandpa Odermott rode around on his three wheeler. He just loved it.

Brayden wanted Ella to swim with him so i got out her little tube. She lasted long enough for me to get three pictures before Brayden couldn't help but splash. Then she freaked out and wanted nothing to do with the pool. :)

Brayden Loving the sun and water!

recall

OK so They didn't get the offer on the house that they wanted so they want to wait until next year to really try selling the house. I know crazy with the back and forth stuff. But at the time they really thought that was what they needed to do. Then some other stuff opened up for them and they are able to wait on selling. So i don't have to pack. :) Nate only has three quarters left so it will be nice to not have to move until he is done. i do feel bad that they didn't get the offer they were hoping for....... But they are happy the we want to stay so that way the yard is able to be kept nice and things will be taken care of.

Moving!!!

Ok so it looks like we are going to be moving in a few months........ Our Landlords are needing to sell the house so we are waiting to get into State housing for the rest of my husband schooling. I am sooooo not looking forward to packing everything just to be moving again in under a year.. :( Boo..... But on the bright side We will be in town again, Nate will be able to ride his bike when the weather is good, We wont use as much gas being in town, the rent will be cheaper, And there is AC in Government housing.... So I think the bright side out ways the packing boxes side. So I will put a smile on my face and pray that everything moves quickly and smoothly. :)

Blessing Day

We had a ton of family and a few friends come to Ellensburg for Ella's Blessing we allot of fun. Here are some pictures of Ella in her dress and a few of all of us.

The last few weeks

Well I have been horrible about posting but i am trying to be better now that i am home. So the last few weeks i have taken a few pictures of my two little ones.

I love being able to dress Ella up. Girl outfits are so fun. I have a few random pictures mostly to show how cute she is in the outfits.

Bath time need I say more. lol!

Almost on a day to day basis Brayden wants his picture take with Ella. He is a really good big brother. We had a few weeks of him acting out but things are starting to get into a routine. And we are very happy about that. His acting out was weird. Like pooping not in the toilet. Not like brayden at all and mommy didn't do so well with it. Poor daddy had all the clean up.

I have been having fun making hair pieces for her. They look so big on her still but i thought it was cute.

These are there Christmas outfits my mom got for them for Christmas.

Here's some more

My Dad came up to drop off Christmas gifts and to see little Ella. My Mom sent this chex mix for all of us to share. Brayden thought it was just for him. He didn't want anyone else to eat it.

Ella was in a very cute outfit that my mom bought a while back. I just thought it was cute.

At breakfast Brayden had to have Ella Sit next to him. She just loved staring at him. It was very cute. Such a great big brother.

Baby Ella

Baby Ella Joyce Odermott was born on December 17th 2010 at 1:08pm. She is a wonderful addition to our family. Ella is 8 lbs 1 oz and 19 inches long. Ella has strong set of lungs and we are all is excitted to finally have her here. Brayden is excitted to be a big brother and has already tried to share his french fries with her.

32 Weeks

Ok so after posting the last picture i thought i better get a closer to date one. This was just last Friday I am 32 weeks.

Halloween 2010

Nate fought me tooth and nail but finally he gave in and wore a chefs hat for me. I have seen others in years past do this costume when expecting and i just thought it was way to cute not to do. So I dress as an "Bun in the Oven" And Nate was the "Chef" I thought it looked cute. :)

Saturday Brayden and I met up with some great friends and went downtown to trick or treat. It was lot of walking but i think the kids loved it.

Brayden was so excited to be Woody he had to ware it all Sunday too.

Ben and Brayden are best friends and so when i told Becky Brayden was going to be Woody she had a Buzz costume and found out Ben would love to be Buzz. So the the best friends Buzz and Woody. I thought they looked soo cute!

baby bump

Ok so I know I have been really bad about baby Bump pictures but here is one that my hubby took for me back in Sept. I believe i was 25 weeks when we took it. I am bigger now but we just haven't taken any yet.

brayden update

I just thought that was cute. He was shhhing me and i had to get a picture.

below i took pictures of Brayden for his 3 year old pictures. and i thought i did really well. He is getting so big and just loves to play he will go up to dad or me and say " i want daddy to play with me." Its so cute how can you say no to that. He is also going through horrible 3's He really wasn't that bad at 2 but now that he can talk he thinks he gets to be the boss and we have really been having to be strict mommy and daddy to get him to be good. He still throws a fit sometime but he is doing much better. He like to make the baby kick in mommy's belie too. ok there is the Brayden update. :)

Thanks

Can I just say I really miss all my friends. I have friends here but man I wish people didn't have to move away. I loved being around all of you guys. Thanks so much for the thoughts. We are doing much better. Nate is able to drive again and man is it nice not to have to take him everywhere. And once again i feel a ton better. Just wish i could find out what the little one is. :( but thats life i will find out someday soon. :)
Beth. I was doing really good about the sweets before i got pregnant but then i went through a few months were i wanted cookies and cakes. No chocolate. That's when they found it so i just have to be better and so far i have only gained 15lbs. I am hoping that with being good that i wont gain anymore. then i will be back down to my pregnancy weight when i have the little one. I had lost 20lbs before i got pregnant so maybe i will be able to start up my died after pregnancy easier with eat healthy now. :) My goal is to get to pre brayden weight after baby #2.
Nichole. I would love for you to give me a call and we can get to gather then maybe i can get to know your sister. I would love to see your little ones too!! Let me know, my # is still the same if you don't have it let me know i will get it to you.

Update

Well Nate had his surgery on his knee last month. He is doing much better but still has a while before it will be like new. And I am feeling better now that they found out I have a Glucose intolerance. Pretty much in the morning my body wont produce Insulin so sweet treats are a no for me. And since i have been saying no to sweet i have felt a ton better. So things are starting to look up for us as far as emotionally hard time. I am just so thank full for the Lords help in getting us through. Also thanks to all the family and friends that helped us through it. Weather it was listening to me or helping in just being there for us. Thanks.

August

So our August has not be the best in the world be we made it through. Let me tell you what is going on. So first we got let down not being able to find out what the little one will be. Then two days later Nate Jumped off a fence and landed in a hole. His knee really didn't like it. We finely got an MRI done last Monday and found out he tore is ACL, MCL, and a little more. Pretty much he ruined his knee and is meeting with a surgeon next Thursday and hopefully will get the surgery done soon after so he can start healing. He is getting really tired of not being able to drive or pretty much do anything. And it is waring on me as well. But we are finally getting closer to getting it taken care of then we can smile and be happy we made it through.

Ultrasound

Well Guess who won the game! NO ONE!! The baby's legs were crossed so we could see if it was a boy or girl. :( So I guess we will have to wait untill Dec when it comes unless they find a reason to let us have a second look. we will have to wait and see. :)

GIRL OR BOY

Ok all! I go in August 3rd to find out what we are having. I thought it would be fun to take a toll and see what everyone thinks I am having. So what is your thought?

Heart beat

We got to see the heart beat today. Everything looks great so far, and I am 8 weeks along. We are very excited.

SUPRIZE!!

Nate and I are feeling Very blessed! Back in February we thought we had to give up on having kids at this time. Well I guess not! That's right we are pregnant!! I am two months along and had no clue until a little over a week ago. We are sooooooo happy. We go in tomorrow for the first ultrasound. Wish us luck!

taxes

I am so glad we got are taxes done and out of the way! And I am Sooooooo excited about getting the return. We are going to get a new couch with it! We have never had a new couch we have always had handy downs. Which is fine but they only last a few years and then we are looking for a new one. So this time we get to go pick out a brand new one!! Cant wait!!! Money get here soon please!!! :)
