Uncle Tanner and Aunt Nina!! Part I

So I was just moseyin' around our apartment Monday night when I got a phone call from Tanner's dad that his sister Lindsey was at the hospital because of her blood pressure, ready to have her baby by C-section! This wouldn't have surprised us quite as much, except for the fact that her due date was December 22nd! But a few hours later we got the call, we have a beautiful little niece!! We haven't been able to go down and see her yet, but we can't wait! We are so excited for Linz and Michael, it's crazy to think they're parents! But so exciting. They are all doing well and we're so happy to be blessed with sweet little Noelle in our family, we are so excited to meet her. This is the only picture we have of her, she is 2 lbs 15 oz, and her name is Noelle Mary Pfeil. Isn't she adorable?? That's her daddy's hand she's holding on to, look at those tiny little fingers..

Tag! aka I'm avoiding homework and cleaning..

The Rules for playing TAG:

*Link to the person who tagged you
*Post the rules on your blog
*Write six random things about yourself
*Tag six-ish people at the end of your post
*Let each person know he/she has been tagged
*Let the tagger know when your entry is up

1) I have double-jointed elbows...yep...my brother and I are the only ones in the family that do, and we can turn our arms in a weird, freakish 180 degree kinda way.

2) I love mowing lawns..don't ask me why, I just do. It's so relaxing to just think about things while at the same time getting to be out in the sun, smelling the newly cut grass, fantastic!, and getting in a lil' workout too.

3) My favorite smell is the back of Tanner's neck. Just thinking about it makes me happy..it smells all manly and Tannerish, with just a tidge of newborn baby smell.

4) I'm kind of a slob. When I clean, I really clean, but it just happens so infrequently, it practically doesn't count. It's a good thing we don't have children yet because they would probably be taken away. We're gonna work on the cleaning thing.

5) I do lots of yucky stuff as a CNA, but I would rather wipe a dozen bums than brush some nasty, gunk-filled teeth..I hate brushing other people's teeth..the food and slobber flick out all over in a straight trajectory for your face, and those little chunks of old food from yesterday when they didn't brush their teeth all come out...*ugh*....(grossed out shiver here).

6) I love playing tennis. I suck at it, but I love it. It's so much fun, and it's the only sport really that I'll actually watch on TV.

Ok..I tag Tessa, Lindsey, Ashley, Corie, Christie, Shelley, and Liz!

Happy Birthday Tanner!! (10 days ago...)

Last Wednesday was Tanner's birthday, the big 23! I didn't take nearly enough pictures, but after a couple shots, Tanner was tired of it and wanted to open his present and eat cake.
Here are a few of the infinite number of reasons I'm so grateful for Tanner and love him so very much:


*He's always so supportive, even if I'm being a weenie, he'll still do everything he can to make me feel better.

*He makes me laugh, ALL the time

*He dances with me almost everyday

*He sings to me at random moments

*He's so excited to become a dad, it's so adorable, and he asks me almost everyday if we can have a baby yet
*He makes me feel pretty no matter how awful I look

*I can talk to him about everything

*He's so hard-working for our family

*We always have fun together and can be so incredibly weird with eachother

*He loves camping, fishing and anything outside

*His love for happy-endings in movies and cheesy chic flicks.

*He always pushes me to do my best

*He's a dang good snuggler and kisser, whoa baby!

*We're so perfect together and obviously meant to be together forever!


There are too many more to keep
going, but really, he's amazing, and I love him so, so much. I don't
know what I would ever do without him in my life, I can't even picture it. Thanks for being such an amazing husband Tanner and my best friend, I lovie you!

*I also just had to put this up here, because Tanner gets told a lot that he looks just like this actor here, Steve Zahn (Sahara, That Thing You Do, ya starting to see it?), and just this last week 3 different people asked him about it, and I think it's so funny! So, he's practically famous!

If you're bored....

I am hooked on this blog called Cake Wrecks. I don't know if I can get in trouble for
posting some of their pictures, but I only do it to get you to go to their blog as well and
join in with me on the giggles. I honestly am entertained for a good half hour every time
I visit. Here are a couple examples of why I love it:

Every 14 year olds dream....

One of my absolute favorites...what is that??!!??

They claim this is supposed to be a dog..

Oh yes, that is a cake

I don't know why, but that is just hilarious to me.

Ok my fellow easily-entertained friends, let's go to Cake Wrecks!

Skinny jeans, here we come!

So tomorrow is the big day, Tanner and I are beginning the Eat to Live diet again. It's gonna be tough people, we know, but it's so worth it when it's done. I've already marked it in my planner and our last day is the day before Thanksgiving...mmm....Turkey....gravy....pie....mashed potatoes....pie....but I want none of it! I only want vegan-delicious salads, fruits and veggies, yum! I will miss you cheese, chocolate, and Wendy's nugs (that's for you Ashley)..but someday we will meet again, a thinner, healthier Nina. Tanner is all psyched, I'm so glad we're doing it together, otherwise, no way would it happen. His dad has already lost 20-something pounds in a month and a half...not too shabby!

So tonight we are having our last Little Caesar's $5 deliciousness ( I realize there are many reading this and gasping "delicious?? it's disgusting!" but when you are poor, deliciousness has a broad spectrum of meanings because hey, we can't afford to be picky). It will be my last goodbye to cheese, I may even have to buy something with chocolate in it. Tomorrow veggies will be my best friends, but they probably wouldn't be so smiley in this picture if they knew I was going to eat all of them. Yay vegans!

2 more days!!

Tanner's birthday is on Wednesday, and I am so excited! People at work and school are probably wondering why I keep talking about it, but I can't help it, I just am. I don't even know why, I'm just excited to make him dinner and a scrumdiddlyumptious (I'm pretty proud I spelled all that out) ice cream cake! If I'm having this much fun getting ready for a grown man's birthday, I'm pretty sure our kids are gonna be spoiled little stinkbutts. Oh well, they're gonna be Fullmers, so at least I know they'll be dang cute!

Shout out for Great Dads

So Tuesday night Tanner's dad came all the way to Salt Lake at 9:30 at night and stayed till 10:30 to help us get a new battery for our car cause it died. It was so nice of him, I couldn't believe how happy and willing he was to help us, he even went to the store while we went to our apartment and ate dinner! I'm sure it was the last thing he wanted to be doing that night. We just wanted to say thanks so much Dad, we really appreciate it. I'm sure he doesn't read this, but he is such a great dad and a great guy. He is so loving and always willing to tell his family how much he cares about them and do anything for them. Tanner is so much like his dad and I am so glad (even including the random bursts of song and dance :) ). So thanks Dad, we love you!

These are both of his parents, they are so cute together!!
