A Blessing from Above

How we found out...It was a Sunday morning and I decided to take a pregnacy test because Brian and I had been trying to get pregnant and I knew it should be positive if we did our job right :) So when I looked over at the test stick sitting on the bathroom counter and saw that it had two lines, instead of the usual one line I had been disappointed by time and time again, I became ecstatic! I honestly couldn't beleive what I was seeing, so I had brian go into the bathroom and asked him if it really said what I think it said. We both smiled from ear to ear and then the tears of happiness came! We were standing there hugging and crying, when all of a sudden Brian got sick and had to throw up. He had been sick all that night before. Romantic...not exactly but definately a moment in time I will always remember!


So over the next few days I took test after test to make sure they were all positive. I got enjoyment everytime I saw the positive line show up :)

The next step was making a doctor's appointment. It seemed like forever for that day to come. When the day finally came, Brian and I were soooooo excited we could hardly contain ourselves. They did an ultrasound to see how far along I am and we got to see our little blurry gray peanut and hear the baby's heartbeat. That is a sound I will ever forget and it was the best day in our lives this far!


Baby Stoker 7 weeks and 4 days on Feb 3rd

WE ARE SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!

weekend visit

My Mom, Gerald, Becky and Doug came up for the weekend. We went to Rockies Diner and had some good food! We also went to the Antique Mall which had so many cool things to look at.

Tea Party

Emily was playing with Thomas's star wars legos and decided they would love to join her lego house and asked them if they wanted some tea.

Too good not to share!

This is what Brian would look like with a mulet...business in the front and party in the back!

Another painting project...

I decided to paint our laundry room bright green. Brian on the other hand is tired of all this painting!

Christmas time...a wonderful time!

Snow falling, lights on a christmas tree, a time for family and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving of 2010 was the year I made my very first turkey! I have to say it turned out pretty good! We had some of my family over and we had a good time! There are so many things for us to be thankful for. We have a healthy family and a wonderful home...what else could we ask for!
