Can you believe we're half way there?!

20 Weeks!!!

19 Weeks

18 Weeks

17 Weeks

16 Weeks

15 Weeks

I cannot believe that I am 20 weeks pregnant! Some days it feels like time will not move quickly enough but when I realize I will be giving birth to this little baby in only 4 more months I'm okay with the passing of time.

We're so excited for our little BABY GIRL! That's right we're having a girl! David guessed right and I really thought we were having a boy. But with the odds in our families I guess another girl would be in order, haha! Everyone is excited to spoil her with pink things.

The ultrasound with the specialist was so amazing. She's a healthy little girl and one week ahead of schedule, this means our due date of November 28th has been moved up to November 21st! SWEET!

She kicks a ton, which I absolutely LOVE. :) During the ultrasound the nurse had a hard time getting a picture of her face because she was moving so much. The same thing happened at the regular doctor's office when they were trying to listen to her heart beat. I love that she's a little kicker and that I know she's okay in there. I can't stand chicken and turkey, just thinking about it makes my stomach churn. But I sure do love sugar and I bet that's that's why she's so active. :)

Happy 4th

The last few years David and I have gone to the Boulder City fireworks to celebrate our country's birthday. This year we were lucky enough to have members from both sides of our families join us and they loved it. If you want to see the best firework show in town Boulder City is the place to go! The favorites were the ones that would fill up the WHOLE sky, and I'm not exaggerating. The show lasted 25 minutes and were in such awe that I forgot to take pictures, but it was great and I'm sure we'll have just as many people next year if not more.

I'm totally bummed that I didn't get more pictures and I didn't get any of David's family but here are the few that I took...

Happy 50th Papa!

The one thing Dad wanted to do for his birthday was for the whole family to go to Disneyland! Who wouldn't want to spend their big day at the "HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH"? I mean doesn't he look so happy?

This was a surprise on Mom's part. We had to stall... and Dad wasn't too happy with our lies. He started to get upset until he realized something was up. Mom showed up with the "special hat" and he was not having it even though you could tell he thought it was funny. Thankfully the family in line next to us was very vocal about Dad having to wear the hat and we were able to snap a few pictures with the beauty on his head. :) Such a good sport!

Look at how happy everyone is! This was taken when we were trying to stall while Mom was buying his funny birthday hat. He guessed what she was doing before she made it back. But we all had a good laugh anyway and it kept the sun from hitting his bald head! ;)

We were having WAY too much fun.

David being his crazy self!

Rachael being cute, as always!

What a funny husband I have!

Can you tell Ali wasn't happy about eating a pickle and me taking a picture? Candid. :)

David + Linda + Baby Bump + Disneyland = Happy Family

We did alot of waiting in lines in turn Ali was sweet enough to give Meg and Kenny a few piggyback rides. What a good sister.

Megan was driving the car.... enough said. Mom and Dad will sure have their hands full when she turns 16!

(Mr. Kenny was one tired little guy.)

We all had one great day and dad is one year older. We love him all the more! Thanks for a great 50th BIRTHDYAY party Dad!

2+..... What?

Surprise!

That's right we're expecting!

Life has been crazy as usual but we are thrilled to be adding a new member to our small family. I'm 12 weeks and a few days and am very grateful the 1st trimester is over. It was a rough few weeks and I'm sure both David and I felt as if there was no light at the end of the tunnel but we made it.

And we're ECSTATIC!

There's really not much to see in the pictures yet but I'm a little excited and probably want to document way too much.

12 Weeks

11 Weeks

And Ali trying to be all cute like me... kidding!

How do I keep up with this girl? She can be cute even when pretending to take a pregnant picture. Haha, more like showing me how it should be done.

I love this girl!

She's been sweet enough to grocery shop for me, cook for me and keep me company when David couldn't be here.

Needless to say I've been thankful for all they've done but I'm so glad I can help myself. I'm glad I can grocery shop and not feel like throwing up, or clean my house, or eat REAL food.
(I lived on plain macaroni for over a week, not fun.)


But it was all worth it. Our little baby is healthy, and we are HAPPY. :)

Sleep Overs!

I love that my family lives so close! Megan and Kenny beg to have sleepovers every weekend. I'm not sure why, I'm not THAT cool. :) Rachael's been able to come a few times too, when she's not busy with friends or going on dates. (geesh that is so nuts!) We've had the chance to have about 3 or 4 sleepovers since the family moved back from Utah. We've done some pretty cool things like making smoothies for breakfast, eating tons of junk food, facials, grocery shopping, watching movies, tie-dying shirts, painting nails, being bums and staying in our pj's all day and making forts. Most times they come up with a plan all on their own. It's great and we seem to always have a good time! I love being a big sister.

So here are some pictures over the last few times... enjoy!
Today is also Kenny's 8th Birthday! I'll be posing more about that later...

2010!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I Cry The Day I Take The Tree Down

This years Christmas was wonderful and we were lucky enough to spend it with both families. I look forward to Christmas time all year and now it's time take the decorations down, put away the smelly candles and wait for Christmas to come again next year. But we are lucky enough to have the knowledge of the true gospel in our lives and we can remember the true meaning of CHRISTmas all year round! Merry Christmas everyone!

Here are some candids of this years Christmas...

David was so thoughtful! Every time we would go to Walmart I would stop to look at the Ipod section. Well now I don't have to look anymore! Thank you David! :)

These pics were actually from the Bellagio atrium in November when Uncle Rex and Cat came to visit. We had a great time with them, I only wish I had more pictures. Sadley these were the only ones. (We used the one of us for our Christmas cards. I really liked them and they look Christmasy. :)
