I know, I know...

I am getting really bad at updating! I've decided that I'll update more if I have to write less so here are pictures from my last trip to Farmington, Bella's B-day party, and other random ones.


My mom...isn't she beautiful. I hope I look like her when I'm a grandma! It was her B-day while I was there and I was so happy I got to be there for it!

My beautiful nieces, Chloe and Ellie.

Jack was a total champ on the way there and back. This is basically what he did. Sleep or he was just happy. I couldn't believe it!

The B-day girl. She is way too cute!
Olea crack me up...I love this girl!

And a really random picture of Jack. I don't know why but this picture makes me laugh!

Back to Blogging

I'm not sure why but the thought of blogging these last few weeks just made me cringe. It's probably the fact that I'm so tired I can barely make it through the necessary routine of life and the fact that I have crazy hormones running through my body. Anyway I told myself I wasn't going to blog until that went away, so here we are no cringing to be seen and ready to blog!

Let's see where to start...I was in Farmington about 3 weeks ago and we had an absolute BLAST! I realized after I got home that Jack had been totally amused 100% of the time and he was way bored with his old life. He learned a few tricks of the trade from his wild and crazy cousins and he misses them sooo much! I stole these pictures from Leah's blog.



Our little Jack is what some would call wild but we like to think of him as free spirited! You can tell from the nicknames what I'm dealing with: 30 pound bowling ball, bulldozer, wrecking ball, bull in a china cabinet...the list goes on. He goes full speed all day long and anything or one who gets in his way is plowed down. We have been trying really hard how to be soft and give hugs instead of maul and tackle and I think he is getting the hang of it. The only problem is he wants to hug and kiss anything that moves (including the weird guy at the park the other day, time to teach him a new lesson!) Anyway I love his little personality but it just might be the death of me!

Here are some pictures we took from our weekend up at Snowbird. It was so beautiful and a much needed break from our fast paced lives. These pictures are taken from the deck of our condo...I love the mountains!





Well on to some baby news. I realize I still haven't officially announced that I'm pregnant but I think most everyone knows by now. I am feeling really good now and finally able to exercise but I still must say I just about hate everything about being pregnant...besides the fact that I get to have a beautiful baby at the end of all of this. We have found out that we are having a GIRL and I can now say that I am so excited!!! Anyone who had talked to me in the last few months knew that I was 110% percent sure that we were having another boy, well obviously I was wrong and I have found myself in an unknown territory of dress, flowers, pink, bows, and the list goes on but I have been having a blast! I am sure this little girl is going to be beautiful and amazing and we are getting anxious to meet her!

Well that's it in a very big nutshell.

Updates

Man I hate when I get behind on posting! We have been very busy with the 4th of July, tubes for Jack's ears, my first baby #2 appointment, and lots of escaping to the mountains. I have a ton of pictures so I will keep the captions short and sweet.

Fourth of July Carnival



Tube Surgery :(
Right before Jack's surgery. Pictures are way blurry but I had to get some in these nifty hospital clothes. The surgery went great and all is well in Jack's ears!


Brunch at the Sliver Fork Lodge...Yum!


Hiking at Solitude
Lots of pictures. We love escaping to the beautiful mountains and thanks to another little ebay purchase we have this great backpack so we can get some serious hiking in.














Hope everyone is doing great. I am headed to Farmington for 10 days and I can't wait to be there! I should have some great pictures when I return!

Memories

Okay so I saw this on my friends blog and I had so much fun reminiscing I just had to put it on my own. Now I know I have not updated in a VERY long time and I really do have a lot of pictures to post and I promise I will post them soon!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

I really thinks the pacifier, yoda, and wedges go really well, don't you?


So pretty...

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers day to all the dads in my life out there! I hope you all had a wonderful day! I know that our little family had fun. It was one of those perfect lazy days of just hanging with the family and enjoying each others company. We went up to Snowbird for the fathers day brunch and it was um um good! The weather was perfect so we sat outside which was beautiful and Jack was a perfect angel because he loves being outside. After our yummy meal we just drove around and then came home and laid on a blanket in the backyard. Oh I love these summer days!

Real quick I want to totally embarrass Dan by saying on the world wide web how unbelievable awesome he is. He is such a good dad and I feel so grateful to be married to such an awesome guy. Jack loves Dan more than anything else. He offers everything I don't to Jack which means we are a pretty good team! Nothing makes me happier then waking up in the morning and turning over to see my to boys snuggling together as they sleep...it melts my heart! We love you honey!

My two handsome boys!
Me and Jack
I never know what to expect from Jack at restaurants. Sometimes he eats like a champ and other times he refuses to open his mouth. Lucky for us he decided to eat this time, and a lot. This list includes...Salmon, a pickle, polenta, another pickle, watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, 2 small cookies, and some ice cream. Yikes!
He loves pickles!
These cookies were gone in no time. I had no idea he liked sweets so much.

Washing it all down with a swig from his water.
I just had to catch a picture of the shirt he was wearing. I got it on Ebay (my new addiction) and I thought it was pretty funny!
