15 weeks

Here I am at 15 weeks pregnant. I am now almost 17 weeks but in my opinion my belly hasn't changed a whole lot. I am finally in my 2nd trimester and it has been so much better than my first! In my first trimester I was nauseous all the time and could only eat fruit and very bland food. I ended up losing about 10 lbs in my first trimester. Now that im in my second I am able to eat more of a variety which has been really nice! We find out the gender on March 12th and I CANT WAIT!!!

Bragging a little

So I need to brag for a minute about how freakin cute my nephew Max is. My brother sent me some of his 6 month pictures and I am in love!! I absolutely LOVE this little boy!! He is all smiles and even when he cries he still looks so dang cute!! My brother and his family moved to St. George when Max was only a few months old so I haven't been able to see him as often as I would like to so I really miss this little man. I mean really how can you not love this face!?!?!? I think it's time for me to take a trip to St George so I can see my cute nephew! Thanks Matt for sharing these cute pics!!

Surprise!!!

SURPRISE!!! Kyle and I are going to be PARENTS!!! I still can't believe it!! Our little one will be here around 8/11/12 and we couldn't be more excited!! Im about 8 1/2 weeks along right now and I'm already feeling pregnant! I am tired all the time and I feel sick all day long. It's been tough but I know it's all worth it!! Kyle and I went for our first ultrasound the other day and we are already in love!! We can't wait to be parents!!

Birthday Girls!!

On October 7th I turned 24!! To celebrate my birthday Kyle and I took the day off to spend time together. With him being in school and working full time we never get to see each other so spending all together was much needed. On my birthday we got up and Kyle got me dunkin donuts. We werent planning on having a cake for my bday so he thought it would be cute to put candles on my donuts. such a cute husband i have!! Well once we got ready we went and got a couple massage. Best gift ever!! We both need to relax so it was nice!! After Kyle took me shopping and out to lunch. Later that night we went to dinner with my family and then Kyle and I went to the Blink 182 concert. I think Kyle was more excited about the concert than I was but I ended up LOVING it!! I cant thank Kyle enough for such a fun day.
On October 8th our cute little niece Lily turned 1!!! She is the cutest thing ever!! For her first birthday Kristin planned a tinkerbell party for her and it was adorable!! You cant really tell in the pics but the thing around her highchair is her tinkerbell tutu. =) My sister in law is so creative and crafty I wish i could be like her!! After Lilys party the family went to dinner to celebrate both our birthdays. Overall it was a good birthday for both of us.

Mexico

I am the worst at keeping our blog updated!! Well to fill you in we ended our summer with a trip to Mexico. Kyle and I went with his sister and her family and we had a blast!! I was a little scared to cross the border with everything going on but there was nothing to be scared about. We crossed without even being stopped to check if we had passports. Once we finally got there it was time to relax. The whole week was filled with yummy food and lots of tanning...more like burning for me. =( We had such a good time and we cant thank Kristin and Chad enough for inviting us to tag along.

Maxwell Oscar Spring

While we were in St George our nephew was born!! He was born on July 7, 2011 at 8:35 pm. The big boy was 9 lbs 10 ozs. Natalie was induced at 4 am that morning and after being in labor for 16 hours the doctor decided that the only way he was coming out was if they went in and got him. The c-section was scheduled for 8 pm that night and 35 mins later Max was here!! Natalie and Max are home now and they are doing great!! He is such a sweet little boy! He has the cutest chubby cheeks i have ever seen!! I am one proud aunt thats for sure! This little boy is the first grandchild in the family so we are all so excited hes here. He is one very loved baby and we cant wait to spoil him!!!

St George Trip

For Kyles birthday we took a weekend trip to St George. We have been wanting to go up to Tuacahn to see the plays so what a perfect time to go than for his birthday!! Kyle's dad has a place there so we stayed at their place to save a few bucks. His dad and mel were there for the night so it was good visiting and going to breakfast with them. At work all of the girls kept telling me to go to Cracker Barrel so we went for breakfast and oh my gosh!! SO GOOD!! I had the pancakes and cheese hash browns and they were to die for!!! I dont know why I am just now finding out about this place!! I will be going back next time were in St G for sure!! When Robb and Mel left Kyle and I hung out at the house and relaxed for a few hours. Before going to Little Mermaid we decided to do some birthday shopping at the outlet mall. Kyle got some shorts and insisted I get something as well. What a sweet husband!! Unfortunately things kind of went south as the night went on. We were so excited about our show but 20 mins into it it started pouring rain!! After 30 mins of waiting in the rain with plastic bags over our heads they announced they were canceling the show for the night. We were pretty sad about it but Tuacahn is awesome and they gave us vouchers to come another time during the season. So we went home in the crazy rain and watched a movie and went to bed. The next day we went and walked the grounds of the St George temple and went to the visiting center. The temple is so pretty there and we got a few cute pics. After the temple we went and got a milkshake at Iceberg. We had never been there so when we asked for a regular sized shake we didnt think we would get as much as we did. Lesson learned for next time. Get the mini size. =) We had a few hours to kill before our play that night so we thought it would be fun to go to the Wildlife Museum. We were the only ones in there but we had a lot of fun. We took our time going through seeing all the crazy bugs and animals. We got a few fun pics too. My favorite was the butterfly wall. There are a ton of different butterflies and they are all so pretty and unique. After the museum we went to our show. We were praying for good weather this time. We were seeing Grease so I was really excited. I grew up watching that movie so I was really hoping we wouldnt get rained out like the night before. Fortunately the weather was beautiful and the show was awesome! They did such a good job and the music was great!!! The next day was the end of our trip. We took our time getting up and got home that evening. It was such a good vacation. it was nice to get away with just Kyle and have fun together.
