Merry Christmas!

So the Happenings that have happened in the Beagley Clan lately are just plain exciting and Awesome! This picture was taken on December 23rd, 2009 right after My oldest brother Derek his wife Tammee, and their children were sealed together for time and all eternity to their newest adopted addition to their family... You guest it! The little guy in Vayomee's arms. His name is Mcklayne Quitchenpaw Beagley...and he is now a part of our family for All Eternity. (If you would like to see more pictures of this day, you can go to their blog at http://www.derekbeagley.blogspot.com/). I am so happy for you guys, there couldn't be a more deserving family than yours.
It was so neat in the temple when they brought the baby into the room,,, he just couldn't take his eyes off of the amazing chandelier hanging from the middle of the room. It was the neatest feeling in that room as my eldest brother and his family were made even more whole, like they had been missing something and now they are not! I love you guys with all of my heart and I pray for all the blessing to be with you. What a great Christmas gift!

Well Rusty purposed to me on December 23rd, 2004...That was 5 years ago!!! He got down on one knee just outside of the Church Business Building after we had walked through all the lights at Temple Square... It was his first time ever seeing the lights. He said "Babe, hold on I have to tie my shoe." and I was like and then he stood up... So I was like and then he asked me how I tie my shoes, and I answered, do you mean if I sing a song as a tie them, or what do you mean? And he was like well will you show me how you tie your shoes on my shoe? So I reached down to show him, and there on his 12 size shoe, he had tied my diamond ring onto his shoe lace. So I took it off, and he got down on one knee and said "Trista, you would make me the happiest man in this world, if you would be my eternal wife. Will you Marry Me?" And of course I didn't really hear what he said to me, but I said "YES" anyways, of course you probably already figured out the end to the story. I love Rusty with all my heart...Our love for each other grows continually everyday. We thought that since the roads were so bad, we didn't want to continue from Manti into Salt lake to see the lights, just to turn around and have to drive back home. So we took this picture outside of the Manti Temple! This is where we got married and this is just about how it looked when we walked out of the temple that day!!! Although, we only got about four inches of snow.


Surprisingly this was not taken today...This was taken one week after the last photo... It was like she had a growth spurt in seven days. We went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said the heartbeat was fine, and then asked if we had any questions. I said will I know that you were worried about my weight gain last visit, and I know that I gained some this time... He looked down at my chart and said, "wow, you gained a lot..." I had gained eight pounds, AHHHHH! but I had only gained 1 pound my first four months, and then gained 8 just last month, so I guess I am still OK. I just have to watch the sweets, juice and bread! My answer to that...

"But the baby likes the sweets" ;) Ha Ha.

21 1/2 Weeks Prego!

I look AWEFUL!!! and what is really sad is that I just got ready to go to church and then walked outside and my hair got wet, and then church was canceled so we came back home, put on the P.J's and look at how aweful I look! Well anywho! This is my tummy as of Sunday, December 13th...21 1/2 weeks pregnant. Rusty got to feel her kick last week too. He was pretty excited. When we were down at the NFR (National Finals Rodeo), we were sitting in our room late one night, and he looked at me and said "April is never going to get here." "I just can't wait for her to come." It was so gosh darn cute, He wouldn't even let me go down to the casinos, he didn't want to expose our baby to second hand smoke or anything. I love him with all of my heart, and I know that he will make a great Daddy.

I absolutely love my Christmas tree this year...I think that it turned out pretty good...

This is my cowgirls Rodeo outfit...It will fit her just in time to go and watch her daddy perform at the rodeos next summer.

Don't you just love the Wrangler Bum!

It says, "Ride Cowgirl Ride"

We took Lula to Petco and took her in the store. We found these antlers and put them on her head, and she was TICKED!!!

She won't even make Eye contact with me anymore...HAHAHA! I love torturing her, because Paybacks can be a beast sometimes.

IT'S A ......................................

So I guess that I am kind of weak, and I really can't keep the sex a secret from everybody. So I guess thats its out in the open and

It's A .......................................................................................

(SO call me crazy...but now that I look at this picture, it kind of looks like a boy! But in the office, I could tell that it was a girl, and I actually told the nurse what it was, before the nurse told me what it was.)

We are so excited to be getting our little cowgirl. Rusty and I are going to go and buy her a cowgirl outfit when we go to the National Finals Rodeo down in a Vegas, and I will take pictures of course and show them to you later. But for now, I am going to post these pictures because she is so beautiful, that you all need to see her!

Isn't she just Beautiful?

Look at that cute little foot!

She had her hands up by her face touching her nose, and I think that this one looks like she is sucking her thumb???

OKAY!!! So WOW!!! These 3D picture (although almost creepy) are simply AMAZING!

Look at her boney long legs... She gets those from her daddy :)

OKAY!!!! I am so Flippin' excited for tomorrow, I think that I am just going to go crazy before I found out what the baby is, and I really can't even believe that it is already here!!! CRAZY!!!! So for math today, First graders have to learn about graphs. I asked them "Has anyone noticed that my belly is starting to get bigger?" And of course they are so honest and were shaking their head yes! I said " I have noticed because hardly any of my pants fit me anymore." And so I asked them "Why would my belly be growing?" and only a couple of the kids in my class already knew the reason, so I told the class that I was pregnant and the tomorrow I am going to go to the doctor and find out if I am going to have a baby boy, or a baby girl. So I gave them all a sticky note and asked them "If your mom was going to have another baby, would you want to have a baby sister, or a baby brother?" then I explained that if they wanted a baby brother that they should vote for a boy, and if they wanted a baby sister then they should vote for a girl. They then wrote their vote on the sticky note and got to come and put it up on the board, so that it looked like a bar graph.

So the Result........ 17 voted for Boy and 10 voted for Girl! So we will have to see what happens.

Funny things that kids say: The one boy in my class "Teacher will you bring the baby tomorrow to class and let us see it?" So then I had to tell them that I would have the baby AFTER Easter. We then had to go through all of the holidays in order from today, until Easter, and I told them that my belly would just keep growing and growing. So it was a really fun math lesson today, and I thought that you guys would enjoy hearing it!

P.S. I have decided not to tell anybody what we are going to have, only Rusty and I are going to know. That way it will be a fun suprise for somebody!

Guess the Sex of the Baby!!!

Happy Halloween! Lula got to go trick-or-treating around town, she was Raggety Ann! Ain't she cute?
O.K. so this is so dumb, it will not let me put these pictures in the order that I want, so like I tell my first graders "You get what ya get, and ya don't throw a fit;)"

This is Ty jumping over Tyre. I think that the picture turned out pretty cool. So these pictures of our motorcycle / campout trip are picture that I took.

This is Lula on Rusty and My birthdays, August 5th & 6th... She was 10 weeks old... she was so little, I can't beleive how much she is growing. Lula is now 23 weeks old!!! she is getting so big!

I LOVE this picture. This is Rusty whipping his bike on this jump, he is almost horizontal to the ground.

O.K. so no, I was NOT alright with Lula up on the back of my couch...

We do have rules in our house you know, but when she got up there, she looked so cute.

I was just a yellin at her telling her to get down, and look at that face. I have to deal with this face all the time.

This is how Lula sleeps... You might have the visual now, but you just can't hear her snoring. Wish there was sound!

ALSO, we will find out the sex of the baby on November 18th, I will be 18 weeks. So don't forget to vote on the blog, what sex you think that it will be!!!

So we just recently went on a Riding / Camping trip to the beautiful Blue Clay Hills of Cainesville (I have no Idea how to spell it right). It was lots of fun to get out and go together, especially since the bad weather hit us just this week. Now in this next picture you really have to look close, but you will soon realize that Lula is in Mid-Air and looks like SUPER DOG!!!

LOOK AT ME!!! I can fly!!!
I am Queen of this Rock!!!

This is the Crew (Left to Right) Tyre, Rusty, and Ty (Dirty McCurdy). Us women became the official Photographers! Thats alright, I quite enjoy the photo taking if I am allowed to tag along.

This is Rusty hitting a pretty big jump, that would shoot him really far. I call this one "Goin' Big".

Well every teacher has to do one, and so I guess that it was my turn. I was panicked... this was such a big task for me and I am really not very crafty. So I started to search on Google, October Bulletin Board Ideas. And I LOVE GOOGLE!

There was a photo there that said "Spinning a web of our favorite Internet web sites." But I wanted to go more with a reading theme and I wanted the board to be teachers recommending books to their students. So mine says "Spinning a Book Web of your Teachers Favorite Books." Ok. I can breath, I have an idea, but wait.... Do you see the size of this board??? It is Humungo! Not only that, but it is the first thing that you see when you walk into our school!!! PANIC hits again.

I tell myself "Calm down Trista Rich, your mother-in-law is totally like the queen of craftiness." So what does one do in their time of need, they call in the troops,,, my mother-in-law!

Ethel always makes the prettiest bows!

So each spider says the teachers name, the Title of the book that they would recommend students to read, and the author of the book.

It turned out so cute. I love Ethel with all of my heart. I might have had the idea, but the cutsyness of my board is all CUDOS to Ethel Rich! Thanks Ethel!
