I just had to share this.
Man Charged After Allegedly Passing Gas Toward Cop
West Virginia Man Charged With Battery After Allegedly Passing Gas Toward A Police Officer
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va., Sep. 24, 2008
A West Virginia man has been charged with battery on a police officer for allegedly passing gas toward a patrolman. Jose Cruz, 34, of Clarksburg was also charged with driving under the influence, driving without headlights and two counts of obstruction.Cruz was pulled over by South Charleston police Tuesday for driving without headlights. After failing field sobriety tests, Cruz was taken to the station for a breathalyzer test.The criminal complaint says that as a patrolman was preparing the machine, Cruz scooted his chair over, lifted his leg, passed gas and fanned it toward the officer.Cruz was also allegedly very uncooperative during the entire arrest process.Cruz admits passing gas, but said it wasn't aimed at the officer. He also denies being drunk and uncooperative.
He claimed that after several attempts to allow the officers to let him use the restroom he was denied. He said he stomach hurt really bad. bahahahahha
I was just minding my own business and ran across this story yesterday. So incredibly hilarious. I went looking for it today, so i could post it and there was another article saying the charges were dropped. Either way ...Thank you sir....thank you for that smile you put on my face!

half.way.there!
So as of Sunday I was 20 weeks! The half way mark...and wow has it flown by! It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in the bathroom hyperventilating staring at a positive pregnancy test, and calling Steph to ask her what the hell I was supposed to do. ::smiles:: Now I'm registering for baby showers, buying the cutest little outfits and hats ever, and trying to figure out what name we want to give this little man to carry for the rest of his life. Its pretty crazy, to think that in a little more than 4 months from now I'm going to be a mom. YIKES!!!!
On Sunday, Mom, Payton, Nana and myself took a trip to Babys R Us and I registered! It was really overwhelming. (Eventually I just gave Payton the scanner-gun thingy and told her to start scanning stuff that I said I liked...or wanted..haha) Everything is just SOOOO expensive and I felt like a greeedy gal registering for some things. But mom told me it was ok, and that its normal for 4 or 5 people to go in together and buy the big things. It was also really stressful to try to find different things that I would think I/he would need...different bottles, blankets, etc. Its just really insane that 5 months or so ago I was going out every weekend with friends, and now every weekend I'm one week closer to being a mom and trying to figure out how all of this is going to work. I'm a little freaked out. But I know I'll be fine....
Stephanie is throwing me a shower on November 1st. We are calling this the "Random Shower." It will all be all my friends/their moms/stephs family that has been my family for years/my North Central family and some others. She has always wanted to throw someone a shower, and is DETERMINED that even though she will be 8 months pregnant, that she is going to throw me the best shower ever! She is crazy!! On top of all of it, she couldnt just buy regular invitations...she had to go to the scrapbook store and buy things to make her own. So on Tuesday, I figured the least I could do was help her make the invites. She is such a wonderful friend, and it is guarenteed hours of laughs when we are together. I'm very lucky :)
after we made some of the invites :)
the shower invites....made from scratch!
pretty nifty if i do say so myself. that steph is just so crafty!
Little man has been kicking away, and is so kind to be laying on my syatic nerve (i dont know if i'm spelling that right, but I think you get my point.) and that is sending some nasty pains shooting down my butt and thighs. So that has been rather annoying. Sleeping it getting uncomfortable too. But other than that I'm great :) I love it when he kicks..I talk to him. Even though he is nameless. :) There is a name that I am pretty sure we have decided on, but sometimes I just don't know! I think we need to have a couple and when he joins this crazy world, we will decide then! WHO KNOWS! :) 9 months is tooooo long of a time for Zach and I to decide something and actually stick with it....
I hope everyone is well!

Update on Grandpa
For some reason they continue to push back Grandpa's surgery. It is frustrating to me, b/c you would think a quadruple bypass would be top priority, but apparently not. But the surgery is for tomorrow (Friday). Morgan, Payton and I are going to go visit him tonight for a little bit I think. So please keep Gpa Petty in your prayers! :) Thanks!!

Prayers
My Grandpa (Moms dad) has had a lot of health issues come up VERY suddenly in the last 2 or 3 weeks. He is having to have open heart surgery on Monday morning. So please keep Gpa Petty and my moms family in your prayers. He is a tough cookie :) Thanks so much.

[[boy.crazy]]
So...my blood pressure has gone down following the excitement of finding out we are having a little boy, and I'm back to being tired again. hahaha! For the record, if you are following any of this, right after they told us we were having a boy, they took my blood pressure and it was SKY HIGH. It was 143/93. I have NEVER in my life had a high blood pressure, so they said it was probably just because I was excited. They took it like 20 minutes later and it was back down to 100/70ish. So yeah..hahaha.
Also I forgot to mention I have gained 2 lbs...back of the 8 I originally lost...so does that make it 2 lb gain or 6 lb loss??....ummmmm lets take the 6lb loss! ha! Regardless of what the correct amount is, in the last 24/36 hours I feel LARGE. I feel like I have ballooned the last couple of days. My belly is growing and its hard. I just feel uncomfortable.Its weird. But my mom tells me to shut up and suck it up. She says I'm only half way done, and it just gets worse. ha. Thanks mom!! ::smiles::
Little man is kicking away though. He loves when I drink orange juice, and he loves when I eat peaches. And he doesnt like it when I cry.(which I am extremely hormonal, so yeah. . .) Thats when he starts moving around the most! Its so funny. I always talk to him when he kicks me...they say that babies can recognize sounds and vibrations of voices this early. Pretty nifty. I guess stretched out he is about 10 inches long and weighs about 1 lb. The doctor said if he were born today he would fit in my hand perfectly. Insane.
Morgan also brought me a salad last night from Olive Garden, shes the best (Manning and I were over at my parents house), and I guess it decided I couldnt just eat it and enjoy it. Instead it was going to give me the worst heartburn I have ever had in my life. I thought I was dying. Seriously. Not being funny. I went home and ate Sherbert (it seems to help me a lot with my Acid Refulx and Heartburn) and went to bed at 9:30. I'm cool. ha. Woke up at 7:30 (that includes about 4 trips to pee in the middle of the night, if you wanted to know), and I'm still tired! But again, mom tells me to suck it up and get used to it. haha.
and lastly...everyone is on my behind about names. I will give you a list of names Zach and I are considering...which could easily change, so don't get too excited...and you can tell me what you like, but if you tell me what you dont like, I'm never talking to you again (I'm kind of kidding here, kind of). I am EXTREMELY critical about names and I hate it when people give me a reason to not like a name I actually like. Picking boy names are soooooooooo hard. If it was a girl, we had the name set, and it wasn't moving, but this boy name thing is killing me..so anyways..the names are....
1. Rylan
2. Caleb
3. Owen
*They are all different, but not too different*
I like Connor and Hudson too, Zach says no. hahaha.
We both really like Alex, but both have cousins named alex.....
IF Zach had his way, today it would be Riley William Keith Landis. (I think its too feminine)
IF I had my way, today it would be Zane Brycen Keith Landis. (he thinks its too off the wall)
So...as you see we have some work to do :)
And I must throw in here, that my dad says unless its name is Douglas, he simply does not care what we name it. He is a loser!!! hahaha.
He will probably have 2 middle names...after Bryce (using either Brycen...a form of Bryce..obviously or William..Bryces middle name..obviously) and Keith...which is a family name in Zachs family. Its trendy these days to have more than one middle name. So I suppose we will go with the trend :) Like I said...these names will probably change a million times. I have a baby name book by my bed and come up with different names all the time. Zach thinks I'm crazy for the names I come up with. Its kind of funny. OK..this is long enough! Sorry!
So anyways..here a few pictures :)
Have a happy and safe weekend.
I went to Target and bought a few outfits..teehee. Who knew baby
clothes were so cheap?! and just so dang cute!
I'm going to get myself into trouble! hahaha
GO IU!!!!
GO HORSE!!!!
It says "Born to Ride." I found it appropriate considering that is
his daddys favorite thing to do....and used to be My dads favorite
too!
Zach and I at Journey...i love the random lady in the gray shirt
,behind us, trying to get up. Zach is mid blink, I think, and I
am accumlulating several chins. Its awesome :(
Mr. Manning. with his favorite tennis ball.
He is the goofiest dog ever. Love him :)

Its a little.........
BOY!!!!!!!!!
So this morning we got to the Doctor @ 9 and had to sit and wait for a few minutes...we were sooo anxious. (we was me, Zach and my mom) So finally she called us back and she started taking all of these measurements of the baby and all that jazz. I was like..."So...have you ever been wrong on the sex of babies" and she seemed extremely insulted..so i told her I wasn't trying to insult her..I just wanted to know. ha. She said in 20 years of her being an Ultrasound Tech she has missed less than 5. So..I decided to take her word for it. So she is still taking measurements and clicking and all that business...and finally she goes "So, you guys want to know right?!" and Zach and mom stood up really fast and she turned the screen and said "You are no doubt, having a boy..that is VERY obvious" bahahaha! So while I was wiping tears from my eyes zach and mom were hugging..and so happy. She took a couple minute long video of our little man waving and I think he was sucking his thumb and putting his little hand under his head. It was precious. If I can figure out how to get the video on here, I will definitely upload it! :) Its on VHS...so it will be hard..but I might be able to tape it off of the TV with my own digital camera! Anways...We were all sooooooooooo excited. I can't wipe the smile off of my face.
I had an appt at 9:30 with the Doctor (this was the first time meeting her) so while we were waiting the first thing I did was call Steph!! I promised her she would be the first to know!! :) Mom called Dad and told him he was going to have a Grandson. And Zach called his sister :) We were just so elated we couldnt' stand it. Zach just kept saying..."its a boy....its a boy" we just can't stop smiling :)
The Doctor was nice. She said everything looked great. I decided to have some blood drawn to check for Down Syndrome and other Chromosmal birth defects. I was at battle about whether or not to do this. I didnt know if I wanted to know ahead of time, but my dad and I talked about it and I realized if there is something wrong that I would like to be properly prepared...as much as I could. So I decided to go ahead and do that. So, she said I would hear back in the next couple of days.
After leaving the Doctor Zach and I walked over to see our friend Amanda (she works in the building connected to the hospital where my Dr. is) and told her in person. She was so excited too!!!
Then I went to see Aunt Kari at her work to tell her! Then I texted and called everyone and headed up to North Central to see Dad! I went to Lunch with him and he showed everyone the pictures ,and he emailed all of his coaches and a few close friends that don't work at NC. He CANNOT wipe the smile off of his face!! After 3 sisters, a mother, 3 daughters and a wife...he is so happy to have another boy back in our lives!!! :) We are blessed.
and yes.. I did go to Target and buy some little Onsies. bahaha. I couldn't control myself. I will take pictures of them and post them tomorrow for sure!
And names...yeah....you can keep guessing. Because now that I know its a boy, I am not too sure about the names that we have been thinking of. ::smiles::
Here are a few more pictures from the Ultrasound! :)
Scary Skelator Face! He is looking at us. We could see the lense in his eye. It was so awesome!
So in love with this little man!!!
His little profile!! :)
So there you have it. My intuition was right....and we are so glad everything looked so great.

Heart on Fire
So I was informed today, that I dont update enough :) teehee. Sometimes I feel like no one really reads this thing..but I suppose some people do, so I will make sure I update more often!!
I am now 18.5 weeks.....and we find out the sex (hopefully!!!!) on Monday, I will be 19 weeks and 1 day! Zach and I couldn't be more excited to find out, so we dont have to refer to my, recent exploding, belly as "it" anymore! We both think its a boy, but I think its wishful thinking. teehee. We will of course be excited with a little princess too! We have picked out a name for a boy and a girl so far. I picked the girl name, and he is growing to love it. and he picked the boy name, and I too, am working on loving it everyday. And I may decide to tell everyone when it gets closer, but people are still being rude and stupid when I mention names I like (b/c they are usually really different, and unique), so we may not ever tell until February!!! We shall see! But the names may change so whateva!! Maybe I'll give you a list of names we like, and you can keep your comments to yourself and try to guess on what we offically decided! I love these ideas I come up with. ::smiles::
so. . . . .
Ive been fighting NASTY bouts of heartburn and acid reflux. It is so annoying, and painful! I also recently have been feeling like my hands are on fire. Its pretty painful (and annoying as ever) and after googling it and talking to my cousin Julie(she had the same problem when she was preggo), it appears to be the onset of Carpel Tunnel. I will definitely talk to the doctor about it on Monday and see what she says! Its not constant, just random, and awfully frustrating and it doesnt feel very good.
My belly has somewhat expoloded, as I like to say, this past week. To anyone else it just kind of looks like I'm getting fatter (b/c i wasn't the thinnest lady in the world to begin with!), but to me, its a baby bump. I feel the peanut kicking and moving all the time. Its still pretty low where I feel it, but I'm not complaining, after hearing horror stories of babies kicking ribs and such, I'm ok with below the belly button jabs! I haven't been able to feel it from the outside yet, and Zach hasn't felt it either. But when Zach is around and talking, the baby moves everywhere and kicks me all over the place. Its pretty neat, that I think it knows his voice and is responding to it.
We went to the Journey concert the other night (which by the way was a terrible show, and I was extremely disappointed. Heart was AWESOME, and we should have just left after that! But we did have a great time and had great company, Journey just didn't put on a good show) So anyways...we were at the concert and the baby wasn't moving at all, and as soon as we got into the car it was kicking the mess out of me! So perhaps it is a good thing that it can tolerate loud nosies, and will be a heavy sleeper like its daddyo. Is this wishful thinking?? hahaha!
My parents go on walks every Saturday and Sunday morning (and that is if dad isnt golfing) and last weekend they came across some Garage Sales. My dad (who is beyond excited about being a Grandpa and making Christmas "exciting again" as he says) bought the peanut a BIKE! with TRAINING wheels. teeeheee! I was working at the Salon and he brought it up there to show me. He was so proud and I am very thankful! It is red and yellow and very boyish...he too, is swearing its a boy!! I think missing Bryce so much has made us all that way! But again, a princess will have us all eating out of her little hands!! So its about 4 or 5 years too early, but there is a bike waiting for him/her. hahahaha! My mom has bought a lot of things too so far for "our baby" as she calls it. After the intial shock of everything, they have become the most amazing, support group I have! I'm so lucky to have such amazing, supportive parents. Truly blessed, I am.
Well...my cell phone broke again! So thank goodness I have the day off and I can go get it replaced! I hope everyone is doing well! I will try to take some pictures this weekend, we are actually going out and doing fun stuff (not belly pictures, Audra...sorry about your luck! maybe ill take some and just send them to you, but i dont know who reads this thing and i have a feeling this belly is going to get scary looking! haha) and post them...have a great weekend!!

Ok. So...this has nothing to do with anything I ever care or complain about. But for some reason its just eating at me and I want to write/rant/be pissed about it.
And please know before going on that I have NEVER given 2 poos about politics and I have never voted. History and things of that nature have always bored me, and have never held my interest. Yes, I have been yelled at about this, but its something I never cared about. However, I will vote this year. I am 25 years old, I am going to be a mom, and I am/will witness/ing the most amazing, monumental election of my lifetime. I have always asked...what does my vote really do? Does it really matter? This year, I dont really care if it does count, but in my head I will know that I put one vote in for something I believe in.
Now..having said that.....I will move on to my topic! :)
I dont know if its b/c I was raised in a house where dad was black and mom was white and we were not to judge people for any reason, or if its just the way I am. But I can NOT stand it when people are judgemental about certain situations. I understand that everyone passes some sort of judgement on others for one reason or another, but I feel so strongly about this I am going to tell you. :)Does this surprise you? I just feel like there are certain things we should keep our noses out of and this is one....
So everyday I get to work and pull up the internet and the home page is http://www.aol.com/ There are always news feeds, and I always look through them to see if there is anything fun, sad, crazy, whatever. I am kind of obsessed with the news. So yesterday I pull it up and the first thing I see is a picture of the new VP candidate Sarah Palin, and a quote underneath it that said "Sarah Palin,Praying away the Gay." I mean, are you serious? Honestly? OK....immediately I click on it and become angry.http://www.aolrewind.com/?feature=165935&ncid=aolnws00150000000002&icid=100214839x1208989049x1200534397
Some of the most best friends I made in college were gay, and they even so confirmed my belief that they are born this way. A person is a person, no matter who they chose to love. PERIOD. Who are we to judge them? Do you honestly think that they would CHOOSE to live a lifestyle where they are CONSTANTLY criticized and treated horribly for who they love? Really? And more importantly, do you hoenstly think you can pray them to feel otherwise? Seriously? EVEN IF, by chance they are not born this way, and choose this life, who in the hell are we to say they aren't allowed to love a person of the same sex?? Why on earth should we care? Oh..it just makes me so angry. (same thing with people against interracial relationships. how about you marry who you want to marry and stay out of others peoples business?.) If Sarah Palin doesnt want people to judge her b/c her 17 year old daughter is pregnant, or b/c she chose to have a child at an older age, that resulted in him having Down Syndrome (which there is nothing wrong with either, we are all human),then she should probably shut her mouth. (my opinion) *newsflash* She is not perfect. Her family is not perfect. She should not act as if she is perfection, by trying to "pray away the gay." Furious. It is perfectly ok to disagree with the lifestyle. I dont agree with a lot of things, but its the way life is. Its how the world works. This place would be awfully boring if everyone looked, talked, and walked the same way, dont you think?
Everyday I watch the Ellen DeGeneres show. She is what helps me get through my days...if I don't catch her at 11, I watch her when I get home from work on my DVR. She was just recently married, and yesterda she had footage and pictures from her wedding. I cried. (I'm hormonal!) I just think that its so awesome they are allowed to make their love legal. If they were in a car accident and Ellen knew that Portia (her wifey) didn't or did want to be resuscitated, now she has the legal right to make that decision, when before she didn't. They have been together for a long time and Ellen wanted to be able to take care of her for the rest of her life, if something happened to her. Its not about being pissy b/c they dont have the same rights as heterosexuals, its about having legal rights to each other and their lives. Its about saying, I love this person so much I just vowed to spend the rest of my life with them. Who are we to judge. Love is love, no matter who you direct it towards. I dont understand why people dont see this. I can't IMAGINE what would happen if they wouldn't let my parents get married just b/c dad is black and mom is white.
We are fighting a stupid ass war. People are dying everyday, everywhere. There was a man beaten to death and put in a trashcan in someones backyard this week in Indy. There are children abducted on a daily basis. There are kids who don't have coats in the winter time. There are people that don't have heat in the winter time. There are children that are beaten everyday. There are kids that dont have money to eat lunch at school everyday. There are people, still in 2008, without running water in their homes. There are people that sleep on the floor every night. There are moms that work 3 jobs and go to school full time just to have the best for their children, and it still isn't enough. I have to pay $4.00 a gallon of gas just go live, and go about my business. There are people in New Orleans that STILL dont have homes. And this woman, and soooo many others are HONESTLY worried about people loving people of the same sex? Get over yourself. Seriously. If you think homosexuals are doing something that God doesnt want them to do, then please, LET GOD DEAL WITH IT. Quit trying to play God and instead worry about what your doing in your life to try better this world.
SO yeah...thats my opinion. I know that people I love disagree with me, and thats fine. But honestly, aren't there other things to worry about? They aren't harming us in any way. And the judgment passed on them makes my heart hurt.
So thats all I have for today :) I feel better now. haha!
I hope everyone is well. We are going to the Journey concert tonight! This is the7th and last concert of the summer for us (for now). and only 5 days until we find out the sex of the baby! :) So check back Monday for an update!!! We have decided on names (at least for now). I might tell, but not yet, at least until it gets closer, b/c we are always changing our minds!
