A Week in Review

What a crazy week! I'm sure everyone had the holiday bustle going on in their lives!
We started our crazy week Thursday. We were supposed to go to the airport to pickup my sister from New York, but it was snowing so bad that we didn't dare drive down. So we met my family in Brigham at Hunan Village for a homecoming dinner! We laughed so hard at everyone, it was so much fun!
Friday my sisters and my mom and I got up early and headed down to SLC to be in the audience of Good Things Utah. We got so much free stuff and I even got some camera time because of my birthday. We went to eat and shopping after. It was a great girls day out!
Saturday we went to Grandma Bronson's Christmas party. It was nice to see our cousins again! We ate, played games and enjoyed everyone's company.
Sunday we went to my mom and dad's for dinner. I ended up opening my birthday presents that night too. I got a dang cute new purse and some lotion and a new shirt and crib bedding for the new baby. We stayed until 11 pm playing games and having a good time.
Monday was my birthday and Travis made me breakfast. We then headed down to Brigham for the Lund Christmas party. It snowed so bad on our way there. Travis couldn't resist getting in a snowball fight with all the cousins and of course Tray had to join in too! I didn't have any gloves for him so he has a pair of socks on his hands!
Tuesday morning we went to my parent's house to open presents and have breakfast. Travis's dad came over later in the afternoon. We then headed down to Brigham to my mom's family party. It was a fun night of playing games and eating until we were sick!
I am so grateful for the Christmas season and for all the time that I get to spend with family members!
Only 5 more weeks until my baby comes!!! Last time I went to the doctor she was still laying sideways. Her head was on the right and her bum on the left. I think she finally found her way to the correct position now because I finally seem to have an appetite. I will keep you posted on her coming! I go to the doctor again in 2 weeks. Hopefully we will be able to schedule her birthday then.
I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday!

Deep in Thought

Tonight at dinner, Tray suddenly scratched his cheek, said "Hmmmm," and then held up his finger and said "I know!" Don't ask me where he learned how to show he was thinking but it made me laugh and I just had to share it! He also is showing his prayer talent in the video. Don't worry, he doesn't do that at church or when we are really saying the prayer. Only when we are in the middle of dinner or he is playing around! What a funny boy we have!

Updates on a not so updatable life!

Not much is going on the the Land of Lunds! Just anxiously awaiting the arrival of my sister from New York. It's sad that I can tell you exactly how many days until she arrives but I have to count on my calendar for how many days until Christmas and my birthday. I didn't think that I would miss her as much as I do! She really helped me out so much and I don't know who I will turn to when the baby comes! But I am so excited to have 10 days to spend with her! We have so much planned to do when she gets here! Including a trip to Good Things Utah and shopping at the Gateway!

In other news... Travis and I are nervously awaiting to verdict of his job interview. He is trying to get a job at Nucor Steel. This job would be the biggest blessing for our family, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that the outcome is positive!

We attended our ward Christmas party December 1st. Tray had his first meeting with Santa. He did surprisingly well! I thought we would have a scene on our hands but we didn't. He was more interested in the candy cane though.

We also got a family picture taken at the party, but we haven't gotten those back yet. I'm sure I look Chinese because I squint my eyes!

Tray has been keeping me busy while I stay at home. We had a finger painting incident yesterday and now he is under careful watch! He also enjoys playing in the Christmas Tree. He thinks he needs to give the ornaments a high-five and turn the lights on and off a billion times. Oh his hair also grew in so he doesn't look so bald! (Ok so in this picture he does)

As for me... I am working one day a week and I love it! I love being home with Tray and actually accomplishing tasks around the house! I am feeling extremely pregnant now! I have less than 2 months left and it's making me have anxiety! I've only gained 5 pounds so far, but I sure do have a big belly! I still haven't chosen a name for my girl. I change my mind everyday. My mom calls about once a week to give me her new list of names! It makes me laugh. It always comes between Kamryn and Karsyn, and sometimes Kinlee. (Let me know what you think) I think she will get her name when she gets her....I hope anyways!

Well I hope everyone is preparing for a wonderful Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone! Love the Lunds!

(Can this count as our family Christmas Card?)

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Tray has only had a professional haircut twice. I usually just get the clippers out and away we go. I use a bigger attachment on top and do the sides and bottom short. Well.... last night things didn't go so great. He was so wiggly that after I did the top and was working on the bottom... there were a few oops! So I ended up having to buzz the whole thing. I did actually use an attachment but his hair is so blond that he looks bald. Travis and I just laugh whenever we see him. We have a couple of names for him to. Powder...Chemo..... TJ (Travis Junior-Travis is balding)...(None of these names are meant to be offensive, so please don't take any from them) It wouldn't be so bad if his hair was a little darker and he had eyebrows but he totally looks like I used a razor to cut his hair! Good thing his hair grows so fast. From now on we will be visiting the salon for our haircuts!

I am bored

I'm bored and I should go to bed but I am somehow glued to my computer screen. I have nothing really exciting to post but felt that my blog needed an update. I've been seeing the 7 things about me posts and although I haven't been "tagged" I thought I would share anyways.

1. I am addicted to blogspot. I spend hours just looking at other people's blogs. I start on my page and click on one of my favorites and then go from there. I mostly read about people that I know, but I'm sure they don't know me. I also read about people I don't know, those one's don't interest me as much though. But it's just so exciting to read about everyone's families and what they are doing.

2. I use a shower cap. I feel like I'm from the sixties or something, but I hate washing my hair. (This may be gross to you) I only wash my hair twice a week. And the past year I have been leaning towards showers instead of baths. So when we went on vacation and there was a shower cap in our room I took it home and used it until the elastic broke. I then went and purchased my own quality cap. I love it! I love not waiting for the water to fill up... and I love not having to blow dry my hair and have a bad hair day everyday!!

3. I am addicted to candy. I know a lot of people are but my obsession goes as far as to hide it from Travis so I can have it all to myself. In fact I just finished savoring a HUGE (1/2 pound) bar of chocolate that I hid in the freezer and enjoyed over the course of 2 weeks. I know it sounds petty to hide it from Travis but it's more fun to eat it that way because it feels like it's forbidden! I have stashes all over the house and in the car.

4. I have to have the bed made! Even if we are about to go to sleep and the bed didn't get made that day.. I will make it. I hate when the covers are all tangled and I can't find the edge of the sheets. It just makes me so frustrated. I've even woke up in the middle of the night to fix the sheets because I couldn't sleep.

5. Christmas is not my favorite holiday. Don't get me wrong it's at the top.. but I don't know if it's because of my birthday being so close to Christmas or what.. but Halloween tops my list. I love being able to dress up and be something else for a day. Don't worry I still listen to Christmas music as soon as it's on the radio.

6. I am a hoarder. I just watched Oprah today on hoarding and I thought to myself.. I could totally see myself in that situation. I try to have a clean out day twice a year and being pregnant helps alot when I am in the nesting mode. But I have saved things like class notes from 8th grade to 12th grade, magazines for years, every note that a friend has written me, young women's handouts, stupid things that I thought I would like to look back at, but haven't once. I did purge most of them, but it takes me hours to do a clean out because I have to read every single piece of paper that I pick up.

7. I hate talking on the phone. I remember being in elementary school and I wanted to call my bestfriend and I just couldn't bring myself to pick up the phone to call her. I was terrified. I am still that way. It takes a lot for me to call people. If someone leaves a message and wants me to call them back.... unless I am totally comfortable with that person.... I won't call them back. I don't know why this is. Even at work, my boss will ask me to call someone about something and I wait until the very last second to do it because I just have this huge anxiety about it. The funny thing about it is that I was a telemarketer. Go figure.

Well I hope you enjoyed my 7 things. I will go ahead and tag some people. Jayme, Megan, Mandi Wight, & Kalli-

Have a great day!!! (Or night)

Happy Haunting!! (And other pictures)

We had a fun Halloween weekend. Saturday I made Trav take us to Logan to the pumpkin walk. Little did we know that it was no more. So we made our way to a corn maze that was pretty kid friendly. It had a petting zoo and a straw maze for kids to jump into a pile of hay and crawl through tunnels. The actual corn maze wasn't too bad either. We had a cheat sheet that really helped.

Halloween was pretty fun too. Once Tray understood the concept of getting candy he enjoyed it way too much. He even enjoyed handing out candy to the other trick-or-treaters. It was cute!
