Updates and Pictures!!

This is our very first ultrasound picture at 6 weeks!! We could barely see a heart flicker!


This is a peek at 10 weeks! You can see little arms and a body and head! Getting bigger so fast!




This video was taken at 13 weeks. A thumb sucker already!! So crazy how things work so early on! It is such an amazing thing to experience!!


This is a picture at 16 weeks pregnant! Glad to be four months along and we were able to get a peek and it looks like we know the sex.....ITS A GIRL!!! We are so excited! I am feeling so much better and now just very anxious to keep seeing her grow!



Here she is at 18 weeks! She is always sucking her thumb or keeping her hands close to her face! She is growing everyday and I can feel her more and more! It is so much fun and I am so excited to be a mom! Christian is always so supportive and he is so excited to be having a little girl! He may pretend like he wanted a boy but he is going to be wrapped around this girly's finger!!

We Are Expecting!!

I am happy to announce that we are expecting! We have been waiting for this for awhile (well I have at least)! I have made it to 13 weeks and have been very excited to share the news! There are so many things to remember about the first trimester!

-I have never been so tired in my entire life!!

-I have not been sick more than a day or so which I hear is very lucky

-It is still hard to believe that it is true

-I am anxious to find out if its a boy or girl

-I am getting hungry now that it is the end of the first trimester

-Christian says I'm moody (I don't believe him)

-Still waiting for my bump to show

I have never been so happy as I am now! I can't wait for this baby! Christian is very nervous but is also really excited! I know he is going to be the best dad ever!!

Grandma Sharon

I am very sad to post that my Grandma Sharon, my mother's mom, passed away last night. It has been a very sad day for us and we are still shocked. She was 69. This has been hard for my family, especially knowing that my brother is coming home from his mission in 3 days. We love her very much and we were not expecting this. She died from natural causes and was found peacefully in her living room. Grandma, I love you and I can't wait to see you again!

California

Just last weekend Christian and I were able to get away down to California! We had a great break, ate a lot of good food and went to some awesome games! We were able to go see the Utah vs. USC football game! It was awesome! The Colosseum was HUGE! There were so many people there and quite a few Utah fans that were there! The whole outside was one big tailgate party! It was a great game with a lot of suspense! I was disappointed that Utah lost, but Christian being from Riverside, CA was thrilled that his team won!!







While we were there we went to the beach, did some shopping and went to 2 Angels vs. Yankees baseball games! The first game the Angels won and the second game, which was on 9/11, was won by the Yankees. Even though we love the Angels it was hard not to want NY to win on such a special day! Going to the ball park is always so much fun and we hope to go again soon!





Thanks babe for a fun weekend! GO UTES! GO ANGELS!!!

Cancun!!!

So, I know I said I was going to keep blogging, and let's just say I have been REALLY bad about it! I have so many things to share from the last few months!! I will just start with cancun and go from there! We were able to go the Cancun, Mexico in June and we had SO MUCH FUN!! It was such an awesome vacation! I loved spending so much time with Christian. It was a much needed break for both of us!!

Here we are on the shuttle to Las Vegas!!
This is the beach just outside out hotel! Christian was testing out the warm water!!


This is our hotel. The picture above is the view from the balcony of our room!!

We were able to take some awesome pictures with a monkey, the kiss was not bad, but it was horrible when he stuck his tongue in my lips to run along my teeth!! YUCK! I was terrified that I was going to get some horrible disease! We also went to Tulum, one of the Mayan ruins. It was amazing! The beach there was beautiful and we be enjoyed learning about the culture and history there!! We golfed at the Hilton golf course, where Christian shot one over, which is amazing considering he had never played that course before! We went to some fun places to eat, one night we even met up with one of my friends that I work with that was down there with her family!!


And, last but not least, we were able to watch game 7 of the NBA finals at Hooters in Cancun! It was awesome to see the Mavs win! We had such an awesome trip and we look forward to going again! I have a thousand more pictures but not enough time to post them all!!

Hiking In Zion

So, Christian and I decided to go up to Zion to go on an evening hike and then to dinner! We had so much fun! We hiked the Emerald pools. We went to the upper pool and enjoyed the break from the heat for a little bit! My dad and his friend Andrew were kayaking the river up there in Zion so we met up with them and went to this great little place called the Flying Monkey. It was a fun little trip and we enjoyed it a lot!!
Thanks baby for such a fun evening!! I love you!!

Back to Blogging!

Hey! So, I know its been a year but my brother Marty who is on a mission has requested that I start updating my blog so he can actually see what's going on in my life!! A lot of things have changed since last year! We bought our first house and did a major remodel on it! We re did the kitchen recently and we love it! We also got another dog! Her name is Miley and she is a boxer blue heeler mix. I promise to post more about our changes from the last year!

This is our house! We cut down the big cottonwood, re did all the flooring except the kitchen and dining room flooring, re painted the whole house in two tone, remodeled the entire kitchen, put in new window coverings and re did the garage that the previous owner had trashed! It was a foreclosure and it needed some serious help!!

This is our kitchen remodel. I will post a good before and after soon. It turned out beautiful! Christian did an amazing job!

I will post again soon!! Love ya Marty!!
