Fun in the Snow

So we finally got our first snow fall of the season around the second week of January and Daniel and I decided to take the dogs out for some fun in the snow. First, however, Daniel was supposed to clear the snow from the driveway, but that turned into throwing snow at the dogs. So the driveway didn't get cleared off at all and it half melted and turned into ice which lead to me getting the truck stuck on the driveway and unable to get it in the garage, which Daniel thought was really funny. Poor Gus loves the snow but his feet get really cold so he doesn't want to play in it for to long. Neither Daniel or I were all too happy about the snow because that ment he wasn't going to be working a whole lot. That leads to low income and he is home all day on my days off and is bugging me to go do stuff which I don't want to do because its my day off. Anyway we did have some fun with the dogs and I hope these videos play so you all can see.

Baby

Daniel and I also found out that we were pregnant at the end of October, it came as a big surprise. I had gone to the doctor for a check up and he came back and informed me that I was pregnant. We now know that I am currently 17 weeks and that the due date is June 30, 2011. Things had been slightly rough for me during the first trimester I had morning sickness fairly bad, which really sucked because when I did throw up there was nothing in my stomach to come out so it made it fairly painful. Work was somewhat difficult also because I can no longer clean any of the animal cages, not that I am complaining, but the manager wasn't sure what to do at first. I was afraid they were going to demote me. However they kept me as the manager and had me clean the fish tanks and the guy that was cleaning the fish tanks is now cleaning the animal cages. I don't mind cleaning the fish tanks because it is a lot easier then the other cages and it is kind of relaxing and peaceful people don't really bother me when I have my arm in a fish tank. The only concern I have is if I will be able to climb the step ladder when I get bigger.

I had an ultra sound done on December 30 which was able to confirm that I was 14 weeks at the time also that they think it may be a boy. The tech said it still may be to early to tell yet but she thought that it was a boy. If it is Daniel and I were leaning towards naming him Anthony Efrain, in Spanish that means God's gift, however it is really strange to pronounce.

Soccer Again

Daniel had his Championship game in October after a very long season of soccer playing. They played in two different leagues this summer and I must say that the second league they played in was much nicer and more professional. The fields were clean and well cared for and the referees were not going to stand for any crap if the players wanted to fight or play dirty. Daniel got hurt in the first league because some of the other teams were not so friendly and the referees were to scared to call anything. They took fourth in this league. They managed to win the Championship in the second league. They all played very well I would sometimes take the dogs to the practices and the coach's kids loved to play with Sophia. Anyway the team won and they got a trophy and some medals and after the game we grilled up some food at our house and again I had to make some tres leche cake, which everyone loved and were surprise that I had made it myself. Daniel was invited to play indoor soccer but he didn't really want to, which I thought was a good call on his part because he seemed to need a break from it. I am sure he will play again in the summer.

Okay so since I haven't been updating as well as I should have I am going to throw a bunch of info at you at once. In August we had my birthday, it was a nice day I made a roast and we had some ice cream cake. A few of my friends came over and it was a nice evening. I receive many cards and I am sure I got some presents as well, but it was so long ago that I can't remember.

Then we had Daniel's birthday which was also nice it was just me and him that night. I made a shrimp lasagna, which I wasn't sure would come out very good because I had never made anything like it before but it was great, and a tres leche cake, which he later told me that he like so much that if I ever wanted to kill him I should just poison the tres leche cake. I said that was good to know, but didn't think I would really need that information. Some of his friends did come over the next day, had some of the leftovers and really enjoyed them.
