~Today, Tomorrow and Forever~

Saturday June 21,2008 was such an amazing day for our family that we will never forget. Mark and I were sealed for eternity to our little girl Taylor. It was such a beautiful day and very warm I might add...ha ha but nonetheless very beautiful. Mark's family was in attendence with several of Mark's old ward members who were his young men advisors, old bishop, and sunday school teachers. A few of our ward members were there as well...it was such a great day and filled with the highest of happiness that is possible.

Seeing Taylor walk into to be sealed to us made me feel so grateful and thankful for the moment and the gift her father gave me in giving his permission to have her be sealed to us. Looking in my husbands eyes and seeing the joy and happiness we both shared warmed my heart. Knowing we are sealed as husband and wife through the eternities makes me so happy it's to him. He is my best friend and the best husband a lucky girl like me could ever ask for. He is definity a dream come true.

My friend April took the pics I will be posting today, she did a great job and I like the editing she did as well. Hope you enjoy too...

~My little Scare~

Well if my weeks and days could not have another thing added to it....I swear with the sealing coming up Satan is working OVERTIME...EVERYDAY there has been something that has happened that is stressful, drama like or just something that needs immediate attention. No rest, no peace, and doesn't matter how hard I am trying to stay positive something always finds it's way in doing the opposite...

So Tuesday evening it was early when I was commenting on the baby moving to Mark...and then he (the baby) settled in and for the rest of the evening didn't feel anything. I woke up yesterday and did my morning routine and still hadn't felt the baby move around...(he is so active that everyday I feel him) So I grew alarmed and thought hmmm I should eat something and drink some juice so I did and I layed down and still nothing. I even sang sing star with my step-daughter and still no movement...

I called the oncall nurse and told her what was going on and she told me to go straight to labor and delivery. I called Mark at work and of course he was not in his office or answering his cell..so I started to freak out and I started to push any and all ext's to his work. Finally a couple people answered and I was able to get ahold of him. He rushed home and we we're off to the hospital.

We arrived and the nurse hooked me up and right away the baby kicked! I started to cry cause I was so excited and also crying cause I felt like a HUGE DORK!!! My nurse was so sweet and comforting that she eased me to peace. We did the monitor for 5 mins and then she went to call the doctor and let him/her know( not sure who the uncall doctor was) she returned and said well the doctor wants you to do lab work so you have to stay till the results come back. I laughed and said "oh okay".....So hours later the work came back and all was well and I got to go home late last night.

I feel like a dork, the baby started to move all night and all day today....I do have a peace of mind which I am happy but feel pretty silly going to the hospital. I wish the uncall doctor would of called me into the office first not straight to the hospital. Oh well! My nurse said I will look for you in a few months...ha ha ha ha I second that!!!

So here is my little scare and feeling a little embrassed...LOL

~Sealing Update and invitation~

Okay here is the update of our sealing...our bishop wanted us to wait to send out invites till we got our interviews done cause we we're having scheduling issues. Our bishop is an attorney so he was out of town for a case and the stake pres. was out of town as well. So I didn't send any out yet...so I'm sorry!

We did get our interview with the bishop saturday evening and we have an appt. tomorrow with the stake pres. I am sooooooooooooooo excited!!! So we will be sealed Saturday June 21st at 11am in the Oakland Temple. Oh my other great news, I'm sure I have mentioned it before but Taylor will be able to be sealed to us. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo HAPPY!

So if you are able to make it you are MORE THAN WELCOME to attend our sealing and I would LOVE it. If you have any questions feel free to contact me shumpherys15@yahoo.com

~My Soccer Babe~

Today was Taylor's first soccer game. Her team the Blue Rhinos won..which was sooooooooo dang cute to watch. It was the best....I am officially a soccer mom, I was yelling, and cheering on and it was great!!! Probably a funny scene watching a pregger chick running up and down the sideline cheering on her kid and her teammates. ha ha Oh well!! I had fun and so did they...

So here is her team pic.....She is soooooooo big and growing up WAY TOO FAST!!! (sniffle sniffle)

~Kimbo Slice~

Okay I have got to say this dude is one bad dude...Mark asked me if I heard of him last night and I said "no". He googled it and I guess May 31st he had a fight against James Thompson on CBS...I can't believe I missed it. I am a HUGE fan of UFC and MMA fighting. I soooooooooooo get into this stuff...I wish we had a match here in Sacramento but I haven't been able to find any...Anyways, google this kimbo slice and watch his fights and you will see how good he is...and then watch the fight against James Thompson...It was really good!! I am non-stop about this dude and even woke up talking to Mark about it again.... here is what they look like...

~Finally Pregger Pics with my Tater Bear~

Okay I definity caught something....I woke up again feeling like crud and my head feeling like it's going to explode and sneezing like crazy....Headcold I assume!! Grrrrrr....Taylor is feeling 100% better...which I am happy..I wish I could recover that quickly. The baby has been so active since after 5am and it's just a few mins before 7am now. I just want to sleep but I figure that won't happen unless I can convince Taylor she is really sleepy and she wants to go back to sleep with me...LOL

Well here are some pics from when I went to pick up taylor from her nana and papa's this past week..I'm not a good picture taker but hey I got some pregger pics for everyone as well as the baby album I am scrapbooking...

5months along just a few days before 5 1/2 months. We hit 5 1/2 months Sunday.

Taylor and I outside my mom in laws house..in Torrance...

Okay these next pics below are of us girls Friday...at the house and at this place called "Kids Concept" I wish we had one of those here...you pay one low price and you let your kids explore and pay with everything..so much safer and better than Chuckie Cheese....You see more of my belly!!

~Sick~

Quick blog....Taylor woke up sick with a tummy ache and I think I have a head cold. Sneezing like crazy...head feels like it's going to explode...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Taylor of course feels better after she went "stinkies" as she calls it..and proceeded to tell me the size of it and share with me her "stinky song" ...I know I know TMI but if you have kids you understand that half the things that come out of their mouths is so unpredictable and funny...

So she is peachy and feeling great and I am still feeling like crud..I wish I was a kid again and could just bounce back...as quickly as they do....The baby of course if moving around like crazy and making things really uncomfortable...but I do enjoy feeling him move around...

Okay well this is a ramble of sorts and me feeling gross so I will end for now..Pregger pics to be posted soon..
