A while back

Britney, Jaron, Lexi, Jaden and I all went to a pumpkin patch and I forgot my camera so Brit took pictures and sent them to me. So I thought that I would add them to my blog. We also went to the Pie, it was Britney's first time.

Getting ready for Halloween

Jaden and I went and picked out some pumpkins that we likes at our local grocery store and then did some carving. We went to a pumpkin patch with Britney, Jaron and Lexi but I am a little too picky and couldn't find one that I really liked. But I thought I would show you some of the things that we carved.

After we were all done carving our pumpkins we made pumpkin seeds. It was so much fun. That was a first for the both of us. We really enjoyed our pumpkin day!

Jaden did such a great job on his pumpkin! I wish that I would have taken the picture the day that we carved them because they are now starting to rot and so Homers face got a little droopy. It still looks great after a couple of hard days for him! He is so creative!

We did a little more carving today the night before Halloween so I thought I would add these pictures as well. Our pumpkin is Jack the pumpkin king, Keisha's is a bear and Bill and Kerri's is just one happy little pumpkin! A little more carving never hurt.

Our fun weekend

This last weekend Jaden's sister Kami and her family were in town and we went and had some fun with them. Jaden and I both did different things, Jaden hiked Timpinogos with his brother Jesse and his wife Kim, His brother in law Rick and his kids Zac, Megan, and Emilee. They all seemed to have a lot of fun.

While they all hiked I went and played at Thanksgiving point with Kami, Lexie, Karleah and her guy friend. Lexie's favorite thing to do while we were there was to ride the pony. We frosted sugar cookies, Rode on a hay ride and all got our faces painted with an orange pumpkin. We all had a really good time.

That night after all our out door adventures we all went to Jesse and Kim's house and played rock band. That is one fun game. I liked the drums and the guitar. I didn't even attempt the singing, no way!

Tomorrow I have another ultrasound and I am super excited. Kysa is now 19 weeks, I am excited to see how much she has grown in just a few weeks. I have yet to feel her but I know that it will be soon! She is still just about 6 inches long from crown to bum. I'll put her new pictures on as soon as I get a chance to. Until then.

The growing process!

Ok, so I was talking to Mindy last night and I promised that I would update my blog and put a picture of my growing baby bump... so just for you mind... here is my baby bump from month 1 to month 4. It's crazy how fast I am growing!

SO there is the transformation. maybe to you it doesn't seem that big of a difference but to me it is huge! It's kind of fun to see my belly grow... my baby is getting bigger too then! I am still waiting for the day that I feel her. I think maybe I am thinking about it to hard. I really can't wait!

I thought that I would show you how beautiful it is getting up here. All the leaves are changing and it is getting a bit colder. Jaden drove me up Little Cottonwood Canyon when we had the first snow of the season. I was stoked!

I don't know if you can see it but there is a little waterfall in the trees! SO beautiful! This is the bottom of the canyon so pretty much Sandy. Farther up was the snow! It looked so cool because all the trees are orange and yellow. We got about an inch or two. You can see it on the log at the bottom of the picture.

We are suppose to get snow in the valley tonight and I am super excited about it. My mother in law is not as excited. I am always excited about anythin weather wise falling from the sky, maybe not so much hale! that stuff can do a number on your car. Just ask my brother in law Jaron.

Well I have another ultrasound on the 24th so hopefully our baby will be even cuter by then. I am always excited to see my little Kysa! If I have any more fun news to report before that I will!

2nd ultra sound!

Today we had our 2nd ultra sound and we got to find out what we are having. We are having a little girl. I am not giong to lie I was a little suprised. I had pretty much convinced myself that I was having a boy. I had everything planned for a boy, So I am sure you could imagin my suprise when they said it was a girl. I am super excited but a little nervous about the girl. I am not sure I know how to do a girl. My mom and sister assure me that I will know what to do because apparently I am a girl. **chuckle** Before when I was sure I was having a boy I told Jaden that if we had a girl he could decorate the room but if it was a boy it was all me. I even promised him. Well after we found out that it was a girl Jaden reminded me of our little deal. Oh Boy!! I told him he could still do the room but I had to pick the colors because he is color blind, that would be interesting. Ha ha!
This is just the cutest thing ever. Just in case you can't tell this is Kysa's profile. She has the cutest face. I am so excited. I am excited as well! (Typed by Jaden) What a goofy husband I have. He wanted to blog too! At least he wanted to participate! I hope you enjoy the picture of our little Kysa Lyn Shaw!

fire and first picture

A couple weeks ago there was a huge fire by our house. We live in Draper and it was on Corner mountain, which is just west of where we are. The fires were only about 2 miles from our house. It was quite a sight to see. The smoke could be seen all the way to Ogden. It ended up burning over 800 acres. 

Nothing to exciting has been going on besides that. I am slowly but surely getting over my morning sickness which is great news for me. I am almost past my first trimester. I am excited about it. On the 29th of August I had my first ultrasound. I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was scared of what they might see. To my husband and my relief the baby is growing at a normal pace and has all it's organs. My medication has a lot of side affects and a couple of them are the organs, the brain, and spinal cord not developing at all. Some of the others are cleft lip and the baby not growing, the one medication will stunt the growth of the baby while it is in the womb but after birth the baby would grow at a normal rate, which is good to know. The baby right now is 42 cm and it's suppose to be 44, so the baby is a little behind but the doctor said nothing to worry about. So I am hoping that the baby will continue to grow like normal. 

It sounds like I have to get a lot of ultrasounds throughout my pregnancy. I have to get at least two more that I am aware of. I am getting one at 15 weeks and then another

 at like 21 weeks. I think that the one at 15 weeks is to check for cleft lip. Our doctor told us that if the baby has a cleft lip it has had it since the face started developing. So if the baby does I am hoping that they will be able to help stop it or something. The one at 21 weeks is to find out the sex and make sure the baby is still growing at the pace it should be. Hopefully all continues to go well the whole pregnancy. 

The one thing that the doctor did tell me though was that me having a seizure would be the worse thing that could happen. So we have to monitor that closer than ever. I have to make sure that I get enough sleep because the last two times that I haven't had a good nights sleep I had arm shakes. This is really scary for me. I am afraid that I may not be able to go through this again. This may be our one and only. We will see. Everyone says that you forget so I am hoping that that is what happens so we can have more than one kid. This has been really hard for me. 

Jaden just went back to school and got a better job. I was so excited when he got offered the job. Since before we got married Jaden has been working nights. I have hated it. I hate being home alone but especially when I go to bed. So now that Jaden has this new job he works during the day and is at home at night. I already love this new job. 

Right now I am staying down at my parents house. Jaden and I went down and stayed the weekend (29th-1st) up at my grandparents house in New Harmony. Then I went down with my parents to Henderson to stay until the 13th of September. I have really enjoyed spending time with my family. I hate living so far away from them. It really sticks. I am just hoping that soon my family will be able to move closer. 

Our Good News!

Jaden is always getting on  me for not updating our blog. I am really not so good at it. So I did the job with Marie Osmand and it was super fun. I thought for sure that I was going to have a struggle because I have been a little sick lately. I was better for the show though which made me happy. I had loads of fun. 

I was suppose to go to girls camp this past week but I have had morning sickness so bad that I would be more of a hinderance than a help. Oh ya! I am a little prego! And when I say Little I mean little. I haven't been able to hide it since I have been barfing my guts out. We wanted to keep it a secret a little longer but as you can tell that didn't really work so well. How do I hide throwing up, everyday all day? Jaden I think is more excited than I am sometimes. He is going to be the best dad ever! I am only about 2 months along. I get more excited everyday though. Anywho, since I didn't go to girls camp My in laws drove me down to where my parents were and I have been staying with my parents for a while. I go home Sunday with my cousin. I will have been here a week. I really needed this. I have been so sick and when it is the worst that is when Jaden would be at work. His schedule is going to make this a little

 hard on me I am afraid. Anyways so that has been my life the past two weeks! Nothing too fun. Just a lot of being sick and wishing I was farther along so that this sickness would go away. 

No Pictures and I need some advice!

I have been racking my brain and trying to figure out a way to put pictures on my blog**Think, think ,think!** but it just isn't working. I'll keep trying. SO as for right now you only get stories.**Sniffle**
So I have a lot to write about since it's been since keisha's wedding since I've written. In the middle of June I was asked to help with the Beehives slumber party. I was a little worried but it ended up going really good and I got to know the girls. We really had a good time. I am really loving being involved in YW it's super fun.
Jaden and I went camping with his cousin Weston and his wife Lindsay and their daughter swazye. It was so much fun. On friday we went horse back riding and totally got fried (Good job us!) and then went to the Salina's 4th of July parade. It was pretty fun. After that we got all our stuff together and went up to Salina Creek where we camped. We stayed up there until Sunday and it was so much fun. We road 4wheelers and played in the creek and just had a great time. I think that camping is probably my favorite thing to do. I would do it whenever offered the chance. Hence why I am assistant camp director for the YW. Camping is just my thing I guess.
Today Jaden and I went to the temple and it was so great. We haven't been in so long and it was so nice to go back. We were actually going to support my cousin Aaron who was suppose to be taking out his endowments but when we got there no one else was. We just did the session anyways and had a great time. I found out later that my cousin had gotten food poisioning the night before and had gotten really sick at like 3 in the morning. I felt pretty bad for him. That totally stinks. I hate being sick and especially when there is throwing up involved!**simpathy pains** Yucky!
Ok So I would like some imput on this situation that I found myself in tonight. So next weekend is the Scoble reunion and we have been planning it for a long time now. Jaden and I have been so excited to go and have a weekend to play with my family. Well this evening I got a call from one of the men at my work that is in charge of a lot of programs that go on at the conference center. He was offering me the position of a stage manager for the Osmand show this coming weekend which would be the same weekend as my reunion. This is a big oppurtunity because first of all I would be making quite a bit of money, second if I take this job they would ask me to do it again (if I turn it down I would never have this oppurtunity again.) and I get to work with Marie Osmand and pretty much be her puppy or maid. This is a really good thing for me BUT I would be missing my family reunion. So that is my problem I am dealing with.
If Jaden and I didn't need the money so bad and if this was an all the time offer I wouldn't have to think twice about it, but its not. I need this for so many reasons. I don't want my family to feel like I am bailing on them for money because I am totally not. This is for my family. Family comes first right? I took the job... was I wrong for doing that? I would really love some imput on this. I want to feel better about what I have chosen to do. Jaden, Both my parents, Kerri (Jaden's mom), and Tyler (you rock little bro!) all said that I should take the job. I feel like it was the right thing, but was it really?
Tomorrow my cousin Benj is getting married and Britney and I are going to his reception down in Provo. I am going to stay the night at Brit's after and I am pretty excited about it. I love seeing my little neice Lexi!**Yippy**
Sunday is my nephew Austin's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAWBEE! I can't believe how fast time flies by. It seems like he was just born yesterday. Man I love that kid! So anyways that is what has been going on in the life of Stacy and Jaden. We're boring I know.**snicker**
