So Much Fun!

He is still a BOY! Woo Hoo! We are SO excited. He is over 7 days ahead in development in every area. He's healthy and everything looks perfect. We didn't change my due date- but the doctor said we'll keep an eye on everything and they won't let me go much past my due date of April 23rd if he decides to take to long to join us. I feel him move everyday and Kevin's been able to feel him for weeks as well. I LOVE it! I'm so glad it doesn't make me think of Aliens every time he moves. I was a bit worried about that. ha ha. There have been new symptoms I don't love so much. My ankles like to swell, and it makes them hurt sometimes. They've gotten pretty big, not my favorite. I was SO excited last night when (after reclining for hours and drinking tons of water) I looked down and I could see my ankles bones again. It's funny the things we celebrate! I will take swelling over throwing up any day! Life is GREAT!

Thank you for the information. Feel free to share more if you think of anything else. :)

So many questions...

For those of you who don't know.... we are gonna have a BABY! Life is crazy and so fun as we try to plan for the future. We are 18 weeks right now (4 1/2 month for those who don't speak pregnant language). So, now the questions start. Well, I've gotten some answered along the way. The big one on my mind tonight, What do I need? I try to look at baby stuff on line and there is just to much stuff. How do you know what to get and what not to get? We have our official ultrasound next week- which will hopefully confirm we are having a boy. Does that help narrow down what we need? I would love some input from you mom's out there. What are the essentials? What are your must haves? I think I will stop there for tonight. I don't want to put to many questions in one post. Thanks for you help. I'll post pictures someday- when I take some. :) I don't even have any of my belly yet. Oppps.

Once upon a time...

...Kevin started this blog for us with the help of his friend Mark,(thank you Mark) and ever since I have failed to keep up with posting what happens in our wonderful lives. There were promises not met, and pictures that never got posted. Today I will not make any new promises. Kevin gave me a wonderful camera for Christmas and I'm so excited to be able to take pictures again. Some may even make it on here. Our Facebook accounts stay much more up to date, so if you'd like to follow them send us a request. But here is a little update on our lives. Kevin is in his last year of his undergraduate degree. YEAH! He's still working in research as well up at the U of U. And any chance we get we try to find some way to play. Snowboarding is in season right now. Kevin is very patient teaching me and I love watching him go through the park. So, here

are some pictures of our events since Christmas. We are SO blessed and have the best families! I hope everyone has a great new year!!

New Years Eve @ Mel and Ryan's

We spent new years eve with family. We played some Just Dance, Basketball, and prepped Kevin's snowboard. (and I fell asleep) Kevin woke me up at 11:45pm so I could be awake for the count down. We love spending time with our nieces and nephews, they are the best!

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Bella wanted to help so much- she kept taking the iron from Jaxon

Blue Bird Snowboard Day

Kevin and I spent the day on the mountain. Kevin took me to the "my size" park. It was perfect.. ha ha. I love spending the day up there in the clean air. Kevin is so patient. Love you babe!

Tom's Birthday Party

My big brother turned 35. Wow, can you believe it! It was so fun to spend time with the family. He has the greatest kids! They've figured out the Kevin is a great toy. It was so fun to play with them. I can't wait till spring so we can all go fishing.
