My Trip to Utah!

Last week I was able to meet up with my mom and family up in West Jordan, UT for some family time :) My sister Kelsey is living with my Aunt Mary right now so we all went up to visit kelsey and all the other family from my moms side that live up there. It was so much fun! So much fun that I hardly took any pictures but here are a few:

This was our Pioneer day celebration. We had dinner at my Aunt Mary's and than the boys put on a fire works show for us that night. Mason had a blast with the fire works! 

Lunch and Shopping with the girls at Gardner Village. Tiffany, Lindsey, Preston, Kelsey, Tiffany, Mom, Aunt Mary, Joy and Jared. 

We also went to Gateway Mall on Saturday and shopped around. I would like to say it was wonderful but I was too hot to care! It could have been great! Next time we need to go at night. Here is my mom and Kallie showing off there cool sunglasses. 

America's Next Top Model watch out! Here comes Kallie. She was so cute to watch in the 2 story Forever 21. She had so much fun trying everything on. 

This girl needs a dog! 

All the Girls! I love my family! That was such a fun trip. 

One Year Down, the rest of our Lives to Go!

Thursday was Jeff's and mine 1 year anniversary, I unfortunately was sick and dead to the world that day. Weds night I got a really really really bad Kidney infection. Holy Moly the most awful pain I have ever felt. So as I lay in bed all day on Thursday I had plenty of time to think about the past year and how lucky I am to have such a wonderful Husband. He takes such good care of me. Our first year of marriage has been so wonderful! Married one year and best friends for almost 8 years now I feel like the luckiest girl ever! I wanted to find some fun pictures from the past 8 years but can’t find where I’ve stored all of my old pictures. SCARY! But here are a few that I found from the last year and a few other old ones.

Last minute Jeff surprised me with a weekend trip to the Scottsdale Hyatt at Ganiey Ranch! This is where we stayed on our wedding night. This is our place, as Jeff says. We had dinner there for Homecoming in High School and this is also where we went for our "last date" before his mission. We had so much this weekend! We swam all afternoon than went to dinner, relaxed in our room, and swam again late that night. It was the perfect weekend. While we were swimming Saturday we reminisced about the past year and all the fun we have had. I can't wait for the rest of our lives together! Thanks Jeff for being the most wonderful husband ever!

7 Months!

Well I hit my 7th Month! How exciting... Pregnancy has been quite the adventure for us. Some times I think "what were we thinking" having this baby in Septembers, cause going through the summer being prego is NO FUN! We also had our 2nd ultra sound today, oh my goodness don't even get me started it was so cool! We had the long Dr. visit today, with an ultra sound and my glucose testing all in one visit, we were there for about 1 1/2 hours. I don't know why I didn't learn from the first time and make this Dr. Apt. later in the day cause drinking 32oz of water at 7:30 in the morning is terrible!!!! And than on top of that I get to the Dr. office and they give me little water bottle with a red koolaid looking liquid that I had to drink in 5min for the glucose test.. Tasty :) I had to gag it down fast so I could go back for the Ultra Sound. I'm so glad we were able to get a second ultra sound. They lady was so NICE!!! She went through everything with us again and also confirmed again that it is a GIRL! We were having so much fun that all of the sudden she says to us hold on let me try something real fast, the next thing we know were are getting a 3D ultra sound!!!! It was soo amazing!!!! We got to see so much, her cute little face, nose oh and as the nurse says CUBBY little checks. Maybe my mom blindness is just sinking in but I thought she was the most perfect little thing ever! I can't wait to see her in person. We saw her drinking the fluid and it was so cute it looked like she was talking to us! Our scanner is still not working so I'll have to find a way to post our pictures from the ultra sound. Anyways I could go on for days about this, it was just such a good experience, it made everything so much more real.
Now little baby girl needs a name. So far we like Liberty Mae (long story on why we like Liberty, ask me some time I'll tell ya), Brynlee Jan or Janet (Janet after my mom) (not 100% sure on how we want to spell Brynlee yet) or Cherie Alta. (Alta after my grandma) If we have 3 girls I think someday I will use all of these I'm just not sure what one for this Baby! I think Liberty might win this time. I go back and forth so many time :)
Back to being being Pregnant.. So I never realized how much you appreciate the little things, like anything that requires bending over. Shaving your Legs, putting lotion on your legs, all of these things are very difficult for me know! My feet have officially started to swell holy molly, that's no fun! I also can't seem to stop gaining weight like crazy! and apparently like mother like daughter cause little baby is also measuring "big" in weight for how far along I am. All I can say is pray I go early haha. I was 6 pounds, I'm not sure how big Jeff was but bring on a 8lbs baby! Sleeping is becoming a little more difficult I have the hardest time not wanting to roll over on my belly. Having to use the bathroom at 3:00am every morning has also become very old. I'm back to to stage of "oh gosh I'm so tired I think I could fall asleep driving!" Everyday at work around 2 I feel like I'm going to fall asleep right there on my key board. My house sure shows my sleepiness too I find it very hard to come home from working and than cook and clean a house. I know what you all are thinking She still 2 more months to go!!! I know ok! Anyways I'm loving it! I think I left my camera at my moms so I will have to post my belly picture tomorrow.

We started getting the babies room ready also, We cleaned out the room which used to be Jeff's band room, poor guy had to pack up his drums and put them in storage. I really did start to feel bad as we packed all of his stuff up. But we gotta make room for baby! More decorating to come but here is the room with the crib in it. I still need to clean out the closet and my desk that is still in there. I'm hoping I'll get that done this weekend.

Before: (Thanks Mom and Lindsey for helping us clean it out)

Week of Vacation

Jeff and I both had this past week off of work. It was a well needed week off let me tell you. After a few failed plans we ended up hanging around town the 1st few days and than going camping with my family. Here are some pictures of our week.
Monday was spent in the Pool and at my moms house. I can not get enough of the pool these days I feel so great in the pool, it's deffinetly the best part and maybe only good part of a summer preganacy.


We floated down the salt river with our Friends Michelle and Nate. That was so much fun, we decided to become professtional floaters and we want to go more this summer
We camped at Cave Springs Camp grounds near Slide Rock, it was so pretty and nice to get out of the heat. Actually it was still pretty hot but not as bad. We went with my dad and his family we all pitched our tents and got all set up for a few fun days in the woods :)


Our first day we went to Grasshopper Point for some cliff jumping. I didn't go ofcourse I sat in the water and watched.



I thought for sure I was going to lose my husband on this trip! Him and Reggie were dare devils and almost put me into early labor watching them jump off some of those cliffs. They sure had fun though. I think by the end of the day everyone had jumped off atleast one cliff. Some jumped more willing than others.


Hanging out around the camp fire



SLIDE ROCK!

Family Night @ the Williamson Home

Jeff and I have always tired to do family night every Monday night since we have been married, don't get me wrong we are terrible at it but we do try. We got this awesome book called FHE for Newlyweds that always give us fun ideas. However some nights we like to put a "lesson" aside and go do out some of our favorite activities. One of these activities is going to Barnes & Noble and looking at all the books and magazines. We have always enjoyed doing this, we used to spend many of our Weekend nights there while we were dating haha. I always leave with a mental wish list of Books :)
Tonight our Family night started with the dreaded stop to Spencer's to buy a new washing machine :( Why does it always seem like when you get your savings account up something comes up to tear it down! Lucky we had a family friend and a bank client's of Jeff give us a good deal. So lucky me I can start washing clothes again YEAH!! After that we went totally Mormon and went and got Free Milk Shakes from Chick-fil-A YUMM, I will never pass up FREE :) Then we took out shakes and went to Barnes & Noble to finish up the night. I love family night and I'm glad we at least attempt to make it a weekly habit.

Havasupi

Tons of Girl Time

Well this weekend was the first time Jeff and I spent a night away from each other. It was so so so sad! Jeff went on a trip to Havasupi with his family and I stayed home. I was so sad the night before and was tempted to ask him just to stay home :) But I'm glad he was able to go he had so much fun. (Pictures of this trip to follow as soon as I get some)
The one thing that saved me this weekend was that my sister Kelsey was visiting from Utah, so from Thursday to Sunday I lived at my moms. It was so much fun, I was so thankful for this girl time to keep my mind off of Jeff being gone. Us girls (My mom, Grandma, Lindsey, Kelsey, Tiffany and Me) Spent most of time swimming and watching movies. It was nice to not have to worry about anything and spend all day in the pool. Saturday night we had a fun girls night with lots of food and crafts. I'm so glad Kelsey came to visit we miss her so much. She is here til Thursday so I'm actually at my moms right now and will probably still be here til Thursday with the exception of going home to sleep and working a few hours during the day.
