The Bump

Jeff and I haven't been exactly perfect at taking my weekly baby bump pictures, but here are the ones we have taken so far.... and I made the little sign so that I could have something hanging up to remind me where I am in pregnancy. Super fun! :)

At seven weeks! I totally felt like I had a little buldge... but looking back, um yeah not so much! lol

Here I am at 13 weeks... and just for a record, I was just trying on my new maternity swim suit, I don't regularly parade around in this attire!

Week 16 :)

Week 18 :) 

Yay! We are almost halfway done! I can't wait to meet our sweet baby girl! 

Ladies and Gentlemen....

Just a quick announcement for all my blogger buddies... and a post because it has been FOREVER since I posted on here! (From here on out I will have a lot more to post about!) Jeff and I are going to be PARENTS! Yay! We are so excited for our sweet baby GIRL to arrive at the end of October!  I seriously can't believe how much we love her already and just from watching her at the ultrasound, what a little personality she has! It is amazing!

We went a couple of days ago to find out our little munchkin's gender and it was so much fun! After about 30 minutes and having me lay in 10283717 different positions we finally got her to uncross her little legs and give us a good look. She was sooooo stubborn, or else very proper about letting us see between her little legs. I like to think proper, but we will see when she comes out! We may already have a stubborn little spitfire! Ha ha!

Next step... deciding on a name. This will be a challenge to say the least!

Happy Love Day!

Valentines Day this year was just fabulous!  for those of you who don't know, Jeff is an AWESOME gift giver.. in fact we went to a seminar a few weeks ago and learned about eachothers "love languages"... big suprise gift giving is right up Jeff's alley. I try really, really hard but most of the time he can figure out what I got for him or what my plans are. Apparently  I am not very sneaky. Big suprise! Jeff came home at lunch with a dozen red roses, chocolate (Yay!) and the sweetest card! As I was reading the card he zoomed downstairs and then came back up after a few minutes. hmmm, sneaky! I walked down to get a vase and saw EXACTLY what I have been wanting sitting on the table! He actually made me a jewlery box/shelf! I saw one online and he took the time to make me one... funny thing; he didn't finish the paint because he wasn't sure how I would want it painted and I didn't finish his quilt (I will post a pic when I finish tying and binding it) ... because I needed my grandma's help. We must be made for eachother. We both made a gift for eachother and both left them unfinished.  It's LOVE!

  V- Day dinner with the Hubby!

My AWESOME jewelry box and beautiful roses!

I Thee Wed...

December 11, 2010 was the best day of my life. I married my VERY BESTEST friend. It was magical, emotional, spiritual... and pretty much everything a girl could ask for. A day neither of us will ever forget. Thank you to everyone who came to the temple and everyone who made the trip to our reception. It was amazing! Here are some high lights... photos were done by the amazingly talented Kayla at PENN YOUR PICTURE. check out her work!

 The most AMAZING shot of the Manti Temple I have EVER seen...

 Our temple guests and those who waited outside for us.

My silly siblings... Gotta love 'em.

 AMAZING.

Our lovely cake... by Amanda Lunt

 I am OBSESSED with birdies... ha!

 Sign in book...

 My nanny family. I love them so much and literally cried when they walked in the door.

Love them. Miss them.

 He caked my face... even though I didn't cake him. Oh well. I still LOVE him.

Holy Adventures

So since I have recieved my endowments, we have made a goal to do an endowment session in every temple in the state before June 2011 (Jeff's deployment date) So far, we have been quite successful! And... it has been awesome for us to experience it together, our relationship has grown leaps and bounds already! I am so grateful to have a companion who is so willing to keep us on the straight and narrow! He is more than I could ever ask for! :) So far, we have attended...

... the MANTI temple,

the PROVO temple,

the MOUNT TIMPANOGOS temple,

the SALT LAKE temple,

and the OQUIRRH MOUNTAIN temple.

More to come, so stay tuned :)

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's the BIG 23 for me this year and boy was it a fabulous one! Jeff and I went to dinner with Kade and Lindy because Kade's birthday falls on December 3, with mine the next day! Fun times! :)

Jeff spoiled me, yet again... he is just too good to me I think. He gave me the CUTEST pair of grey boots, the white coat I have been eyeing down for months, some super comfy slippers, and tons of scrapbook paper!

Isn't he just the most handsome man you have ever seen?! :)
