Catching Up...

Time has flown by and so much has happened. Ashton had his final interview for Pharmacy school and we should be hearing back from them about April 8th. Soon we will be out of limbo and will be able to better prepare for our upcoming adventure into parenthood. I am almost 28 weeks pregnant and I keep getting bigger and bigger, which I am sure, will be the only time in my life I will happily admit that.

Earlier this month, we went to a Steelhead's hockey game at the Qwest Arena here in Boise, for my work's belated "holiday" party. It was a lot of fun. They played the Victoria Salmon Kings and won with a last second shot! It was really exciting! There were a lot fights too. I think the Salmon Kings had 4 people in their penalty box all at once because of a fight. Our seats were up in suite which was kinda fun, but we both decided that hockey is game where being closer is better. Here are some pictues...




Ashton has been playing church basketball with Leigh and is busy with school and work. Right now he is on spring break. Lucky for him, but I still have to go to work. We had a taco soup night with Leigh and Michelle and Dalton's birthday party with Blake and Shauntel. It was a lot of fun! My mom also came up and we had a fun weekend, but I'll do a seperate post about that. Well, there you have the latest and greatest on us!

I've been tagged

I was tagged by Stefi and sorry it took so long to post. I'm supposed to post the 4th picture in the 4th folder on my computer. Well here it is...

One of our engagement pictures. Can you believe it will be 4 years in April since these were taken, and 4 years in June since we were married! Man, time flies so fast.

March Madness

As February is winding down, our household is nothing but a buzz of basketball. You see March is coming and that can only mean one thing: College Basketball. Oh yes, it is that time of year again. The time for everyone to fill out their brackets for Ashton's Bracket Challenge and hope that they picked the right teams. The prize for all of this madness, the "Big Dance" party put on by the Jenks where the winner of the challenge is awarded the bowling trophy with duct tape at the base for your name. Haaa, life can't get much better than this.

What We've All Been Waiting For...

Ashton finally got his interview request for ISU's Pharmacy Program! He does it in 2 different days, 2 weeks apart. Pretty annoying but hey, at least he got the interview. He goes down February 27th to Pocatello for the group interview and then his individual interview isn't until March 11th, but that one is here in Boise. Yay!Congrats honey and good luck!

Ultrasound Pictures

This little guy already takes after his dad. He doesn't want his picture taken. He kept his little arm up by his face the whole time. Oh well, we'll get to see it soon enough!

We Love Boys!

First, I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the hopeful thinking that we're having a girl. Well, we went to the doctor today and found out that we're having a boy! The Jenks name will go on another generation! I'll post some ultrasound pictures as soon as I can figure it out, but I just had to share the great news!

Chimes Concert

Last weekend, Stratton and Crayson were in Caldwell for a big chimes thing called Cool Ringings. It was made up of a lot of kids ranging in age. They were in Caldwell for about 3 days where they learned music theory and new songs to play for their concert on Saturday. Well Stratton got sick, so Friday night we went and picked him up and then on Saturday Dallas and DeeAnn picked him up and took him back for the concert. Unfortunately, while he was sick was when they assigned parts so he didn't get to play. Crayson did though, so Ash and I went to his concert. It was fun. The boys are in a smaller chimes group in Twin and we haven't gotten to hear them play, which made this a fun treat. We took some video of Crayson playing and then there was also an older group of kids that played the bells really well so I took some video of that. Can you guess what hymn the bells are playing? You'll probably have to stop our music at the bottom before the videos start. I hope you enjoy it!

We Love Bones and Turnips!

Well, we have made it to being 17 weeks pregnant! Yay! I had my 4 month check up last Wednesday and we listened to the heart beat. Everything sounded good. The doctor said today based off the heart beat, it was a boy. We find out what it will be on February 2, so cast your vote if you haven't already!

Anyways, on to bones and turnips. Babycenter.com sent me the latest update on what is developing now. It reads... "How your baby's growing: Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop."

Hooray for bones and hooray for weighing as much as a turnip! Keep growing stong little Peanut!

What Ashton Does...

During this long break inbetween semesters, Ashton has been super bored. But he has kept the house clean and done other "honey do's". But still, I don't manage to keep him busy. The laptop has been making some funny sounds and Ash thought it was the fan going out. So what does he do? He goes online, finds out how to take the laptop apart, and does it. This is what I came home too one day...



Well it paid off because he ordered the new fan, put it in, put the laptop back together, and vwalla! The laptop is fixed! He never ceases to amaze me.

Chinese Birth Chart

At work, we have an integrated medicine gal, who is into things like aromatherapy and yoga, and when she found out that another nurse and I were pregnant, she said to find the Ancient Chinese Birth Chart to see what we are having. So for fun, I did. It is a chart where you take the mother's age and month of conception to determine what your having. Well, I hope this is right 'cause it said we're having a girl!
