Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was so much fun!We were with the Swenson family on Christmas Eve...We had a yummy dinner then Santa came. On Christmas day we were with the Swenson and Smith families.

This picture was taken at the Swensons in Alpine (28 weeks pregnant):

Oh, Christmas Tree!Oh, Christmas Tree!

Isn't she a Beaut?!Aw, I love my tree. The only problem I will run into next year is a little 10-month-old girl trying to eat the yummy (fake) Gingerbread men because they look so real. Ha ha. I'll just have to keep my eye on her I guess :).

DisneyWorld Vacation over Thanksgiving

My parents invited Sam and I to go to Orlando, FL over thanksgiving to hit all the Disney Parks w/the family. My brother Tyler who returned home from his mission in August came and my sister came...The only person we were missing was my little brother Brandon who is serving an LDS Mission in Alaska. He was there in spirit. We had a blast!

Here are some pictures from the trip:

21 Weeks~Results are IN.

Yesterday Sam, my mom and I went to hear/see the ultrasound that would confirm our babys gender. The results are in and it's a ....... Girl!For sure!The first doctor we went to at 14 weeks told us he was 300% sure it was a girl and Dr. Melendez told us yesterday that in 18 years he has never been wrong. Yay, well go with that.

During the Ultrasound, he went through all her body parts and everything looks great with her. She is right on schedule to come in March. We were all laughing because when he looked at her hands she was holding out her index finger...We thought she was saying, "I'm number one" or something. It was pretty funny to see her do that. Here are the pictures from yesterdays ultrasound. It's a miracle. I love my baby girl!
These two are (bottom to top) her spine and her feet.

These three (bottom to top) are her finger (you can see her pointing), hand, and arm and finger.

We love her so much already :).

Can you say, "EXCITED"!?

Shopping for my baby girl is TOO much fun! I no longer care to buy things for myself because shopping for her is the funnest !

I'm 20 weeks now...Oh yeah!Half-way there :). Can't wait to meet my baby girl! In the meantime, I'm going to have troubles staying away from the mall-haha.

Gone Fishin..

Sam is really good at hunting and fishing and he caught me a fish up A.F. Canyon!

We fished the lake on the canoe :) It's very peaceful being in the Mountains bright and early. We had so much fun!

It's a Girl!

Yesterday we did an early ultrasound (at 14.3 weeks) and found out that IT'S A GIRL! I am SO excited to have a girl!!! It will be so fun to dress her up and to have another little dancer in the family. It took my breath away as I watched her move inside of me yesterday. She was stretching, sucking her thumb, turning, and grabbing her leg~haha. Babies are such a miracle...I can't believe that I have one growing inside of me. I can feel her sweet spirit and I know she is meant to come down at this time. I feel so lucky that we've been blessed with a sweet daughter of our Heavenly Father.

Now it's time to go shoppin!YEAH!

Here are some pics from yesterday. xo. PS~She's due in March.

And here's the pics from the first ultrasound that the doctor did:

Guess who's back

Welcome home Tyler!We love you!!!

And he surprised me with scriptures with my new last name on them…How thoughtful!

My favorite part of my birthday trip was seeing, “O” at the Bellagio. It’s an amazing show.
