Happy 3rd Anniversary

Today Cory and I turned 3 years old. ;) in wedding years at least. We were just talking the other day that it seems like it has been longer, like we've known each other forever. I can't even remember what it was like before Cory. I'm so happy that I'm married to him.

When Cory gets home we are going to watch our reception movie and have some ice cream. It isn't much. He has to work 10 hour shifts all week and he's on the swing shift. So he's going to be tired. We've decided that since it is in the middle of the week we are going to celebrate this Saturday. I'm hoping I can talk him into a temple session. You know be at the temple near our wedding

date... It has to be a little more special than today's activities. So far we woke up early. Got our kids up earlier than they are used to. crying, bawling, changing. Take Deven to the eye doctor. Get stinging dilating eye drops in his eyes. wait 40 mins. go to Burger King for quick lunch before Cory goes to work. Real romantic huh? By the way we did find out that Deven needs glasses. I wondered if he did. He's been having some eye problems. Some times when he is focusing he looks like he has a lazy eye or he goes cross eyed. The doc says he's far sighted and if we don't correct this now he will develop a lazy eye. So! glasses it is. Anyway back on track. I thought I would post some wedding pictures of that day.

This is one of the reasons that I got married here. The pretty fountain.

I was so scared that he picked me up while standing on a 2 ft ledge. If you look close I have a worried face.

Do you like my dress? I got it on my 20th birthday before I met Cory. My aunt found it somewhere at a sale. A blue tag special that cost $1.

My Father-in-law was saying all sorts of things to make me laugh for the picture. I was holding my tummy because it was sore from laughing so hard.

ok.. so don't laugh at me

I'm way over due for an update! just so many things have been going on. I'm not sure where to begin, so i will start at the main events and work my way around until i know that i've covered everything. first off, i think some very exciting news happened recently. We signed the papers to buy a house! YAY!!! personally i'm excited! We feel good about everything! and in my opinion I believe that I will have the perfect kitchen! I will post pictures later. I took pictures of everything but I don't want to jinx it. no i think i'm safe with just showing you the out side. Cute isn't it? so far so good. no hiccups which we've had in the past with other offers.

But on to other news. a couple of weeks ago Deven did something bad. What I think happened is typical for Deven but he did not foresee tripping himself up. He was on the couch and he wanted down. so he threw the keys onto the floor so he could play with them down there. I was finishing school work on the computer and talking to Cory at the same time as he was coming home. I think what happened is Deven's foot got caught in trying to slide off the couch the right way. He ended up rolling off and falling on the keys. The car key which is narrow is the key he fell on and it punctured his face. I know! I was mortified! I tried very hard not to panic. I know this is very graphic but I had a hard time taking the key out of his face. It was like pulling a key out of clay. I did get it out and automatically

tried to stop the bleeding. I grabbed the nearest object which was a grocery ad and wadded it up. So Cory's still on the phone with me. He calmed me down and I realized that news paper wasn't going to work well. Duh! So I grabbed the nearest piece of cloth. It didn't occur to me that I could use my shirt. I thought about that later. It happened to be shorts that deven was wearing earlier. I put lots of pressure on the wound, told cory to speed home, and called 911. She was able to calm me down more and said I was doing the right thing. As soon as cory got home we rushed to the hospital by now the bleeding had stopped. I wanted to make sure that the wound didn't go deeper. It punctured his sinus cavity but I wasn't sure. we took several xrays and they ended up giving us a prescription for antibiotics and put a band-aid on him. They told me if it falls off to leave it off. They like puncture wounds to heal from the inside out. I just wanted a band-aid on so deven wouldn't play with or scratch his wound. to entertain deven at the hospital, because we were there for 2 hours and we didn't get home till 3, I played music from my phone and took pictures and a video of him. Now a couple weeks later you can hardly tell that Deven's accident even happened. Cory and I were saying talking to each other about how it would be to heal from a wound like that now in our 20's. I'm so glad that he healed up nicely. I think it traumatized me more that it did him.
I got a cute picture of Deven playing at the play ground.

He was playing in the wood chips. I wasn't feeling well that day so i took him some place i knew he would have fun.

That same day I found out some good news!! I'M PREGNANT!! yay! I've been waiting so long to have another baby! I was so happy that I cried! So that is why I haven't been writing. I've been busy doing other things like tossing my cookies! Oh and this video happened last month but I love it! Don't laugh at me when you hear my "motherese". One of Deven's favorite words is tickle-tickle. Go ahead laugh at me. I enjoy laughing and playing with my son!
