This was on a friends blog. I made one of the 5. So I figured that I had better add it. It is always nice getting things. And it will be fun to make something for someone else.

The first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me to you....my choice...made especially for you.

Of course there are some restrictions and limitations:

1 I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2 What I create will be just for you.
3 It will be done sometime this year.
4 You have no clue what it will be... it may be a story; it may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something; I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure.
5 I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog (Only if you really want to. I will still make you something). The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did will win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!!

Update

Grandma and Grandpa Leishman came to visit us. We had such a great time with them. This is what we did:

Empire State Building
Pink Berry
Good Food
Horse Ride in central park
Carson played trains and cars
Gavin was blessed
Thanks for such a fun time. We always love when they come to visit.

Gavin was blessed on January 11, 2009 It was such a great day. I loved how the day was just simple. Taylor gave him a beautiful blessing and we were really glad that Grandpa and Grandma Leishman could be here for the event.

Christmas 2008

This year we spent Christmas with our friends The Wolff's and Hafen's. We spent a week in a time share in Massachusetts. It was a lot of fun.
These are a few highlights from the trip:

Staying up really late and playing Settlers of Catan.
Going to the swimming pool and the life guards "smothering us".
Taylor and Carson sledding down a hill on a shovel.
Shopping for clothes and having Amy be my personal shopper.
Eating, Eating, and more Eating.
Building a family of snowmen.
Taylor, Chad and Ethan building a huge snow fort.
Making Cookies for Santa.

We had such a fun Christmas and are glad we have such great friends that after a week of being together we still wanted to hang out the day we got back.

one month old

This is my favorite picture of Gavin. This is the look I get all the time.

9 days old

A quick photo shoot of Gavin.

Gavin William Leishman

Gavin was born Monday November 10. He weighed in at 8lbs 11oz and 21 inches long. Here is our sweet little boy. He looks just like Taylor's baby pictures but with a lot more chub! I could not have asked for anything better a baby with kissable cheeks.

* I can't wait to take some decent pictures of Gavin . You will definitely be seeing more of him.

Happy Halloween!!!

This year was so much fun we went to a few Parties (Taylor and I got best dressed couple), a parade, a pumpkin patch, carved pumpkins, and got lots of treats. Here are a few pictures of our fun month.

We Love You

A year ago today I went into see a doctor in Utah because I hadn't felt you move for a day. I remember sitting in the chair when Dr. Woolsey told me that something had happened and he could not get a heart beat. I tried to hold in my tears while I sat there alone on the chair with so many emotions going through my body. Could this really be happing I thought.
I immediately called Taylor (who was getting on a plane to Europe) and told him what had happened.

When I delivered I remember holding you and wishing so bad that you would just start crying and that everything would be ok. You where perfect in every way. I don't know why you were not able to come to our family on this earth, but I'm so grateful for the chance that I will be able to see you again. I just have to wait a little bit loner then I thought.

I love you Mia and I think about you everyday. I think about what you would be doing at this time in your life, and wish so bad that you where with our family.

Thankyou to my sweet family and especially my mom who puts flowers on her headstone every other day for us.

33 weeks!!!

So I'm 33 weeks and everyone has been asking how big I have gotten. So here is the not so lovely picture of me at 33 weeks.

Bear Lake with the Warner family

After we spent 10 days with the Leishman's we drove from California to Utah and spent a week with my family.

We went to Bear Lake with our good family friends the Mitchell's. It was a nice break to just sit and relax at the lake. Carson had fun just sitting on the beach playing in the sand all day long. He liked to get in the lake and splash around.

Probably the highlight to the trip every year is the water winnie. Everyone gets on and takes a turn. My dad is always a good sport and still gets on. The pictures tell how much fun everyone has on it every year.

We hiked through a cave that I thought Carson would like doing. I was totally wrong he hated it and Taylor had to take him out about 10 minutes into the cave.

Taylor sold his Harley while we were in Utah. He took Carson on one last ride around the block. It will be missed!
