Hooray For A New Nephew!!!!!

    Last Sunday we went to church and then had Blake's family over for dinner.  I love summer nights and the kids had a blast playing on the trampoline.

     Monday I worked at Focus and then went to the gym.  Both my phone and Blake's have been acting up lately and finally we decided it was time to get new phones.  We shopped around and tried to find the best deal we could.  We ended up at Cafe Rio after for a delicious dinner.

    Tuesday I worked at Johansen and then went to the gym.  I met Blake after and we headed to the phone store and got our new phones.  We ended up going with the iPhones.  It's a major adjustment from an Android but we're both super excited!  We went home and just ate whatever we could find at home.  We spent the night relaxing and it was great.

    Wednesday I worked at Johansen and then went to the gym.  We did a few things around the house that night and had a little BBQ.

    Thursday was the 24th of July and it was a gloooorious day!  My poor sister in law Jamyn had been waiting for her sweet baby to come and was 1 week overdue.  We knew he was going to be a big one but we didn't know exactly how big.  He finally made his appearance Thursday morning after Jamyn totally rocked a very long and hard labor.  She is one tough chick and it's amazing what a mother will do for her baby!  Blake and I ran a few errands, grabbed some lunch and of course some Orange Peel.  We couldn't get to the hospital fast enough to meet our sweet new nephew!  Everyone was dying to snuggle this cute chubby boy!

Macie, Chase and Taylor meeting their new cousin

 Grammy was smitten and said he was coming home with her not Preston and Jamyn haha

 I was in love and couldn't stop staring at him, he is the CUTEST!!!  He has a full head of the darkest hair and is already super chubby!

 Looking at him I just can't figure out how that body ever fit inside little tiny Jamyn!!!

 Nana and Pop will grandbaby #10

 Baby Preston is beyond adorable and seeing him makes me sooooo excited to meet our little one!  I can't believe that is what is moving all around in my belly!  I am dying to see baby girl's cute face and see what she looks like!!  I can't believe how fast the time has flown from Jamyn and I announcing our pregnancies to now.  Just 2 more weeks until I get to join the mommy club with Jamyn, crazy!!!

    Friday morning I had a dr appt and things are moving right along.  She had a big growth spurt which I was really excited about!  After the appt we hurried over the hospital to see baby Preston.  I can't get enough of him!

Nothing is better than holding a sweet new baby, especially when they are as cute as he is!

 After the hospital Blake headed to work and I went to Sadie's birthday party.  She had a swimming party and it was really fun!

Boston and Spencer taking a little break

 These two have birthdays just a few days apart and they are total BFFs!

 Sadie's friends tied all her bows in her hair

 Can't believe this girl is already 6!!

 Spencer always love a good excuse to eat anything with sugar!

 That night Blake and I went to see Tim McGraw at Usana. It was an amazing show!  Nothing better than enjoying some awesome music with the cutest boy ever on a gorgeous summer night!! We saw him at Usana a few weeks before we got married.  It's crazy to thing how much life has changed since then haha!

    Saturday morning Blake worked in the yard and I cleaned the house.  Of course we had to swing by the hospital and get our baby fix and then we headed to Pres and Sandy's.  We went up to Kamas with them for the demolition derby.  We grabbed dinner at Gateway Grill and then met Lindsay, Scott, Nicole, Mikko and then kids at the derby.  We couldn't figure out why our tickets said the derby started at 6 and everyone else's said 7.  We had an hour to kill so we played on the playground for a bit and the kids loved it!

 Once it was finally time to take our seats we couldn't find them.....finally we found someone to help us find our seats.......they informed us we had tickets to the Heber rodeo not the Kamas rodeo haha.  What are the chances of them being on the same night!?!?!  We rushed over to Heber and still had plenty of time to enjoy all the crashing!!!

The kids couldn't look away!

 We love the demolition derby!

 Mers was SO excited about the treat Pop got for us!

Scott, Lindsay and Eleni

 Nicole, Mikko and kiddos

 Having fun with Nana and Pop

 Pop loved the extra long corndogs haha!

  This morning Blake helped me finish a project I've been dying to get for baby girls room, a frame to hold all her bows.  I've been struggling to find just what I was looking for so my cute husband decided to just make it for me.  It turned out even cuter than I'd imagined!!!

Baby girl's nursery is finally ready and I'm obsessed with it!!!!  I love all the things I was able to take from Grandma D's house and fix up.  Her lamp, mirror and flower wall decorations are the cutest!

I still can't believe I'm really having a baby this soon that will be living in this room.  I absolutely cannot wait to meet her!!!

Boating, boating and more boating:)

    Last Sunday morning my toe nails were looking pretty bad but I am officially past the point of being able to reach my toes so my cute husband offered to paint them for me.  He is the nicest!!!!  I'm embarrassed to admit he did a much better job than I do haha.  Looks like he might have to be the one to paint baby girls nails..... 

In Sunday school Blake did his famous pancake Sunday, the kids LOVE it!

 That night we went to Nicole's and celebrated Blake's and her birthday.

    Monday I worked at Focus.  Over our lunch break they did a shower for me.  Cafe Rio and pina coladas, they know the way to my heart!  It was so much fun!  I'm so lucky to work with so many great people:)

 After work I rushed over to Pres and Sandy's and headed up to the lake with them, Nicole, Mikko and the kids.

Swim party!

 Our classic picture but with a new friend added in this time:)

 The girls having fun with their uncles.  Switching boards, these girls trust the boys soooo much!

 These girls always keep us giggling!

 The boys

 The girls snuggling with baby girl

    Tuesday I worked at Johansens and then went to the gym.  I met up with my friend Liz and we went to do our visiting teaching.  After I got home Blake and I headed to Nick and Kesha's new house.  Blake helped move heavy things and I watched the kids.  Watching a busy 18 month old is much more difficult when you are 9 mon pregnant!  After we finished Blake and I treated ourselves to Pizzeria Limone and Orange Peel, it was gloooorious!

    Wednesday I worked at Johansens and then went to the gym.  We made pizza for dinner and then went to see the new Planet of the Apes.  It was good but no where near as good as the first.......the baby monkey was pretty much the reason I loved the first one so much!

    Thursday I worked at Focus. I was exhausted after work and so I went to Sandy's and took a power nap.  Blake met me there after work and we headed up to the lake with some friends, Mike, Alisha, Lisa, Logan, Eric and Aubrey.  It was a perfect night and we had so much fun!!

Double ride with me and Lisa

 Baby girl looooves the lake!

 Savannah wasn't so sure about the boat....

 Blake and Eric have been friends for years, they are the cutest together!

 Haven was the happiest all day!

 Recreating our picture from last summer

 THROWBACK, just one year ago Lisa was prego with sweet baby Haven

Savvy and Haven had matching suits, LOVE these cute girls!

    Friday morning I went to piano and then to my doctor appt.  Baby girl is still doing great and her head is dropping down into my pelvis beautifully!  After my appt I went to the gym.  Cute Sandy arranged for her, Jamyn and I to get pedicures.  It felt AMAZING and was such a fun girls afternoon.  Jamyn was due the day before and I am due in 3 weeks so our poor swollen feet were in heaven being pampered!  I can't believe how close we are to these sweet babies making their arrival!

 I went to my parents after and watched Kesha's kids for a few hours while she got some unpacking done at the new house.  That night was my dad's work party at Cowabunga Bay.  It was so much fun!

Payten loves her Uncle Blake!

 Not sure about getting her picture taken....

 Hanging out on the steps.  She went up and down a hundred times and did not want to leave!

 Easton and dad in the lazy river

 Payten was a little nervous about the whole slides thing....

 Blake going on the big kid slides with these babes!

    Saturday morning Blake did yard work while I cleaned the house.  We ran a few errands and then headed up to Rockport.  We did a few things up at the lakehouse and the kids caught a lizard.

 Finally it was time to escape the heat and head to the lake.

Merdi doing more tricks

 Izzy wasn't sure she wanted to try sitting on the shoulders quite yet

 Parker did NOT want to surf behind the boat but we were sneaking and slowly got him on the board.....

 And then hurried and popped him up, as you can see he LOVED it!

He even did a board switch

 Time for tubing.  I'm pretty sure they would have stayed on the tube ALL day if we'd have let them!

 Mikko got up on the slalom for the first time ever.  That kids is quite the athlete!!!

Finally the sun went down and it was time to go.  We grabbed a late dinner at Zupas and then headed home.  It was another great day at the lake.  We've been trying to pack in as many boating adventures as we can before the baby comes, I'd say we've done pretty well so far haha!!!
