HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!!

Today is Aaron's Birthday!! He is now 27 years old...i know he is getting up there! We celebrated his birthday yesterday (since he left us today to go on a scout ski trip). We didn't do anything really exciting because Emma has been so sick. So we kept it just us and our friend Eddie. Abby and Emma helped make a chocolate cake which Abby called a chocolate chips cake. It was really good...and I would have shown a picture of itso you could see how well the girls decorated it, but Aaron took the camera with him. So you will just have to look at how adorable he was a a little boy!! These pictures are my favorites...I just think he was so dang cute (i guess he still is)...looking at pictures of Aaron (most of which I couldn't find to post) you can just tell he and Abby are a lot alike.

tagged

So I guess Shari tagged me...so here it goes,

What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was in Junior High, so really not much just trying to get through math and driving my parents crazy.

5 things on my "to do" list today?
1. watch Matthew
2. clean my house
3. finish the laundry (its only been sitting in my room forever!)
4. organize the girls toys
5. keep my sanity

5 snacks I enjoy?
1. chocolate
2. nutter-butters
3. chips & queso (i make aaron do runs to El Kiosco on a regular basis)
4. peanut butter and honey sandwiches
5. pickles
what can I say I am pregnant

3 bad habits (aka things that drive aaron crazy)
1. bite my finger nails
2. cant ever finish the laundry (well most things for that matter)
3. throw my clothes on the floor after taking them off

If I were suddenly a billionaire?

Well OF COURSE i would pay tithing first. Then Aaron would be out of the Air Force as soon as he was able. We would pay off all our debt. Get the van I REALLY want (i know exciting huh?!?). We would move closer to family, buy a big piece of property and build the home of our dreams. Put a bunch away in savings and then help out our family and friends and just live comfortably for the rest of our lives!

5 places I have lived
1. Sandy & Murray, Ut
2. Los Angeles, Ca
3. Monterey, Ca
4. San Angelo, Tx
5. Grovetown, GA

5 things people dont know about me
1. I have an Aunt just a year older than me
2. I too have cravings for dirt (you arent so wierd Shari) it got so bad when I was pregnant with Abby I would go walk in the mud barefoot.
3. I have a big fear of bugs...when Aaron and i were first married if i saw a spider or moth I would lock myself in another room until Aaron got home to get it..sad i know
4. I have to take a bubble bath at least twice a week
5. I cant have my feet touch when i am sleeping

pinewood derby

The girls had so much fun making cars for the ward pinewood derby and even more fun racing them (well at least Abby really got into the racing part) They even won a few of the races! Abby had a blue car (her favorite color) and Emma thought she had a yellow car, but it was purple.

pregnancy updates

i am awesome

Betcha didn't know what a skilled guitar player i am!!! While we were in Utah Aaron's brother Adam had us playing Guitar Hero. Didn't think that I would like it...only because I am the least coordinated person I know!! But I am embarrassed to say that I actually thought it was a lot of fun and really wouldn't care if Aaron wanted to get the game (doesn't mean you can have one aaron...dont get any ideas) Abby did think that she had to dress me up while I was playing...that is why I have so many "pretty things" in my hair. So if anyone wants any lessons just let me know, because I am really good!!

dance class

Abby is in tap and ballet and today we got to watch her during the last 30 min of her class. We don't ever get to watch during class so when they have parent observation day it is always exciting for us to see what she has been doing in class. Because I had Emma with me I had to watch from behind so I didn't get to see much of Abby's face, however I still think she is stinkin cute!!

updates

So I have noticed that I haven't posted anything lately, but that's because nothing really exciting has been going on... Its just the "same old same old" here at the Pilkingtons. Well to start Christmas was good. We didn't go too crazy this year with the girls. They each got a few things and their stockings. Abby loves her new scooter...however we got it for her because all the other kids on our street had one and Abby always would want to ride them, but come Christmas day all the other kids got bikes...so the thing now is bikes and poor Abby cant keep up very well on her scooter. I am sure come birthday time Abby will have a bike so it won't be so sad. Emma got a baby and baby things. She is really into babies right now. Babies and her belly. She has to show everyone her belly.
Now its 2008 and I cant believe how fast this last year went by. We brought in the new year first at the Bastians for lots of yummy food (and I mean lots...holy cow) and games. We had a lot of fun. The girls of course didn't want to leave. Then we put the girls to bed and Aaron and I caught up a little more on the last season of 24 and even better I actually stayed up till midnight. Every year since Aaron and I have been married I haven't ever been able to stay up till midnight...sad I know.
This year is going to bring new changes. Abby is a sunbeam this month and Emma will go to nursery for the first time. In July we will also be having another baby. I am 11 weeks and just getting over the morning sickness part....YEAH!!! Its crazy because we haven't planned any of our pregnancies and this baby is due July27th the day before Abby's birthday and Emma's is July 21st. So July will be crazy month, but we are so excited.
Other than that I really cant think of anything else other than we are getting ready to go to Utah on Tuesday to spend a late Christmas with my family. We are really excited for that. Abby cant wait to see my brother Peyton. Well until something else exciting happens or I get better at taking more pictures of the girls this just might be it for awhile.....
