Troll

Yup... we finally did it. We went and saw the Troll that lives under the Freemont Bridge! We've lived here for almost 18 years now and have never gone to see the troll. So mom and my sisters
and I trooped down to Freemont in the pouring rain today to see an ugly troll. We got lucky and there were several other familes there taking pictures so we all traded picture taking favors! It was a lot of fun, even though it was a little wet!
Hope all of you are doing well and I'll do my best to get on here and update you more often! Love ya!!!!!

Catch up.

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been doing much on the blog. Things have been busy. We went to a family reunion for Robert's family. It was a lot of fun. I actually had the chance to meet his two older brothers that I hadn't meet yet. He has 4 brothers and 2 sisters and I had only meet 2 brothers and 2 sisters. His oldest brother lives in The Middle East with his wife and 2 kids. His second oldest brother lives in Oklahoma (for now) with is wife and 6 kids.

We had a lot of fun. There was 14 adults and 13 kids in two houses. My 2 favorite activities were; Saturday morning when we left all the kids with babysitters and the parents went to the temple together. It was very neat to be able to be in the same session with all of Robert's family. My other favorite activity was on Monday afternoon when the guys took all the kids and the ladies were able to have an afternoon with peace and quite. We also had chocolate and made bracelets and had pedicures.

A lot of pictures were taken, but not by me. Robert's dad and sister are both armature photographers, so they took a lot of pictures and are going to send us all copies. So when I get some pictures, I will post some for you all.

Lets see what else is going on. I have been doing really well with this pregnancy. I am starting to show, so most of the ward figured out that I was pregnant yesterday. But I guess sense I am 5 months it is about time that people learned. I think that Josh is starting to notice that something is different. I don't carry him around as much because it hurts my hips. I don't think he likes it very much. He has been throwing a lot more tantrums lately. It has been SO much fun. OK not really. He is really good at throwing tantrums. I am not sure were he learned it from. But now we get to figure out how to teach him that they don't work.

We let Josh go out and play on our little patio and this is what he looked like when he came in.

One of his new favorite things to do is to take Robert's tie and play with it. He loves to put it on, but he also loves to just pull it behind him and watch it follow him. He is so cute to watch. He does it almost every Sunday.

A couple of weeks ago my friend invited me to go with them to her in-laws to pick raspberries. It was a lot of fun.

Well I think that is about all that is going on here.

Krista how are things going with Conor and his physical therapy? Is he getting any closer to crawling or walking?

He's too cute

How cute is he!!! This is Jayden and he belongs to a

friend of my moms. He is four weeks old! His

mommy had to go to the doctor the other day and left him with me and mom. He was so good, he never cried during the hour and a half that we had him. I get a kick out of his red hair! You'll never believe it but he was 10 lbs 2 oz when he was born (no, I'm not joking)!!! He now weighs a little over 11 lbs. He's like a really fat jelly bean. I just thought I'd share him with you girlies. That way all three of you can be greatful that you had/are having small babies!

Hello girlies!

I just wanted to share the news with you guys...Aimee is el prego!
She has a doctor's appointment September 3 to see how far along she is. She isn't feeling too hot right now but not totally sick.
She was totally shocked! (If you remember when we hung out, she wanted to wait a couple years to have another.) She is okay with it now and is starting to get excited.
She doesn't have a computer yet. She uses her mom's but uses it for pictures, not internet. So I just wanted to let you girlies know, officially.
I can't wait to hear about how far she is! I'm sooo excited for the two of u prego girls!

Julie when are you due?

The Zoo

So these are two of the cutest little girls ever. I have been watching them since the oldest one was about 3 months old (They have a regular sitter that watches them on weekdays but I get them when she can't or nights/weekends is their parents go out). The Sophie is 4 and Ava is 2 and I decided that since I'll be busy with the academy soon I would take them to the zoo. I was a little nervous at first because I picked them up Wednesday morning and they fought in the car almost all the way there but we got there and really had a blast. Sophie wanted to see the monkeys (hence the picture of all of us with a gorilla) so we saw all of the monkey/apes/gorillas. I call them all monkeys but she had to correct me, she is too smart for her own good. All Ava could talk about was the tiger and we spent almost 15 minutes looking at one tiger laying out in the sun. She kept calling it, trying to get it to come and see her. It was too cute. Well, that was my week. My work week starts tomorrow so wish me luck! It's been too nice this week to want to work.

80% Sure it's a...

Very flexible little baby.








Today I had my 20 week appointment. It went really well. The baby didn't want to help out too much so it spent much of the Ultra sound with its legs up over it's head and holding onto its' feet. It was pretty funny to see. Here or some pictures of it. I thought it was great. And the baby didn't even care when the ultra sound lady would thump and push my belly to try and get it to move so she could see the things she needed to. But this little baby was very comfortable and didn't want to be bothered.

We had wonderful news and found out that the baby is very healthy. It is in the 26th percentile for size. So a little small, but still just fine. It was nice to find out that the baby is doing really well and growing great.

I have been doing pretty well. I have only gained 1 pound in the last 2 months. For some of that I think I was still losing a little. But it was nice to hear that I had gained a little. I am actually starting to show a little. Which seems really early because with Josh I didn't start showing until about 6 months. And I must not be eating enough because the baby is growing well and I haven't gained that much, but that is ok. I am also a little busier this time than I was with Josh.

So last night I went to a Pampered Chef party, it was so much fun, it was also really nice to get out of the house and not have to put Josh to bed. That was something I really enjoyed. There are a lot of things that I want, but they will have to wait a little. It is always nice to have a wish list.

Well I think that about covers what I have been up too. I hope every thing is going well with all of you. Hope to hear from you all soon.

Oh wait, I forgot to tell you, the technician said that she was 80% sure the baby is a girl. I know you have all been waiting to hear that.

How was your guys weekend?

Chris was hunting so I sat at home. I really needed to clean and stuff but instead I played on the computer and with Connor! Oh Well!!

What did you do?
