Ok so, shopping around for baby stuff right now kind of feels like me trying to write a song. I have no idea what I'm doing and what to shop for. So I want to ask all mom's what their favorites are. Anything, strollers, diapers, blankets, binkies, cribs, clothes, your must haves, etc. Also stuff for being prego, maternity clothes, supplements, just whatever! I'm dreading mom jeans (Mom to be jeans). I tried some on and I felt as hideous as they seem to be to me. This whole metamorphosis of my body is not so cute to me. Doesn't help that I'm kind of always ornery, sick, but I somehow want to eat the grossest things, like a Big Mac or spaghettios and meat balls. Don't worry, I'll even eat those weird circus peanut candy things. I used to always think, "why do they even make those, and who would ever eat them?" The person who did make them, was obviously pregnant. I'll tell you what though, my favorite thing right now, every night taking a bubble bath while eating gobstoppers, and listening to music while playing solitaire. Heaven.

Well I'd love your input, so please spill the beans!!

Tricking Me

This is what looking in a mirror feels like being pregnant.... On a positive note, we find out in 3 weeks what we are having, AND I'll be half way!

Secret's Out!

Travis and I are so excited! I am pregnant and due July 11th! So I'm about 3 months along, and so far, the only good thing is, if I don't want to do something, I just say I'm sick! But I pretty much am all the time! We surprised our families on Christmas Eve and told them, and they were all so shocked and excited! It was so hard not to tell anyone and I'll never wait that long again, but we wanted to make sure it was safe, and also because we thought it'd be fun! I've found it interesting how our focus has totally changed. The things we used to worry about, don't seem to matter. We always talk about what's he (according to Travis) will look like. What type of personality, attributes of each other our baby will have. It really seamed time for us and we can't wait! So here we go!

Fall

This fall the weather this was was incredible, and so we were able to get out a lot and do the things we love!
These were family pics we took over Thanksgiving with my family. Looking at these pics made me realize how big my family is getting!

We did a bit of biking. Here we are with Mallory and Greg, (Trav's sister and her husband) at the Wasatch Crest trail. It started in Big Cottonwood canyon and ended in Mill Creek Canyon. It was beautiful!

These are our pics from hiking Timp in Oct! So glad I finally did it! Can't wait to do it again!

Every time a new season comes, I feel like the change, makes me want other changes in certain areas of life. We have some fun changes come up and it feels so good!

We sold our boat, and got a new one! Pictures are to come later! It's a Master craft X-30. We found it in Reno, for such a great deal, we couldn't pass it up! Who do we think we are? Who buys a boat when they should buy a house? Us of course! We took it to Lake Powell for a week over Labor Day. One of the best decisions we've make thus far in life;) We loved our old boat, but it wasn't made to do the things we wanted to be doing, like wake boarding, and surfing. Wow, what a difference this new boat is! I've wanted to do most of the driving, which is also a change! I wanted to learn how to do the hitch, work all the buttons,and everything... who knows why! It's been so worth the investment, and we love to do it together, and can't wait to do it with our kids! It's always a fun time!

A day after Lake Powell, Travis headed out to Milwaukee, for 3 weeks for training, on a new position at work. Ever since Trav started working at Dentrix, he has wanted this position. He was told to apply for it a few months ago, and waiting to hear back was so stressful, but I've never seen him that happy since the day he married me!;) So now he is a field rep for Henry Schien, and travels around Utah to Dentist's offices to try to get them to let him be their rep. It totally fits his personality, and he is so motivated. His office is at home now, so that's been great! I went out to visit him in the middle of training, and we went to Chicago. I LOVED it! I can't wait to go back! It reminded me so much of NYC, but smaller, and soo much friendlier!

So Travis got home on Friday, and Sat we went to go trail running up AF canyon, and at the last second, decided to hike TIMP! It was such a beautiful day, and I'd never done it. I for sure didn't realize how far it was, and we were booking it up! When we were about 15 min from reaching the peak, down came this guy and his 18 year old daughter. We were so tired, and we stopped to let them by, and as they got closer, we heard her just chatting her heart out, and walking so fast, and not even looking at where she was going. She was pretty severely autistic, and just darling. It was soooo not a good time to see her up there bouncing around the mountain and not watching her steps. It is seriously sketchy at the top, and I felt like a wuss compared to her!

I'll never look at that mountain the same! I pretty much kicked it in the growing... felt good to conquer it! And we are still soar!

Next I'll post pics of all these adventures!

If only...

We just saw 500 days of Summer...cutest show ever! I was dying at this part and thought, "If only.. if only we could dance like that in the street when we felt this good, and everyone was color coordinated, and in unison!" Life would be good!
