Playing a bit of catch up.. Trip to Idaho

Over Labor Day, we made a last minute trip to Idaho. My grandpa has not been doing to well and was going into surgery on September 15th and they told him it was very high risk and he had a chance of not pulling through. So I just couldn't take my chances of not going to see him for what we all thought might be his last moments of life. He had his surgery and is recovering, however he hasn't been the same since. He is in A LOT of pain, and they think the anesthesia messed with his mind a little. He has said and done a lot of things that have made him seem crazy or not all there, however slowly but surely they hope he will pull out of it. We are glad he survived and hope that he pulls through with a full recovery. Anyhow, here are some of the pictures from when we were there.

The gorgeous sunset as we pulled in that night!! So pretty!!

While we were there, I went over to Burley to get my hair cut by my cousin and left Peyton with my Grandparents, this is what I came home to... I remember all the times my grandpa would take us out back and let us shoot the bb gun (if thats how you spell it). And I was so happy to see those two bonding and having such a great time. It was funny how before we arrived, my dad said grandpa was not doing so well, but it seemed once we got there, he piped right up and was excited for us to be there and excited to spend time with Peyton, and for that we are so happy and appreciative!!

Dean and Peyton playing in the large "wagon" type thing that my grandpa uses in his garden.. this was a cute moment and I had to catch it on camera!!

We took a trip to City of Rocks on Sunday, Peyton had a great time climbing and we stopped at a gas station on the way and he thought he was pretty funny with this!! HAHA

My two BOYS!!

Dean doing his funny hand/picture stuff.. he had Peyton do this, looks kinda cool right?

The trip was alot of fun and we are so glad we went to spend time with family... being here away from them all gets to me sometimes so I am thankful for the times we do get with them! I really was on this trip eventhough there aren't any pictures of me... Im not so camera happy with getting pregnant chubby anymore... UGH...

Wedding Sneak Peek 08-17-09

Since I promised the photographer I would be patient, I am just going to post a few pics for a sneak peek of the wedding! It was absolutely perfect bliss! I thought that I was going to cry and be nervous, but as my son walked me down that aisle, I looked out and everything was perfect! Perfect tables, perfect scene and the most perfect man waiting for me at the end of that aisle. And at that point I knew what we were doing was right and I was so

HAPPY!!!

So needless to say, there were no tears, just pure happiness! The weather was perfect, the company was fabulous and we couldn't ask for any better friends and family to come and celebrate this long awaited day! Thank You to all who came to share in this special day with us! And I need to give a very special THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this possible. You all are so amazing and we are all so very lucky to have you in our lives!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

And now, until we have more pictures... Here is your sneak peek.....

What We've Been Up To.....

Taking a bike ride down a little trail by our house! He loved it!

(Good job on the blackberry photos Dean)

We were out and about lastnight and Peyton wanted Chick Fil A for dinner, so we said alright. Well we went in to eat and it was CRAZY busy and we were confused, but said ok whatever, we will eat anyways. Well come to find out, Wednesdays are "Family Night" at Chick Fil A and you get free kids meals and then they have all sorts of FREE activities for the kids. Face painting was one of them, so of course we couldn't pass that up! This lady did a great job and some of the "girls" faces she was doing were sooo cool and pretty!! We took her card and Peyton wants to have her come to his birthday party this year to do face painting! I think its a great idea!! :)

Anyhow, so here is the happy boy with his SPIDERMAN face!!

All my posts lately have been about the baby, and truthfully, we have been doing so much more and that too!! Peyton has been gone most the summer at his dad's house in Idaho and it really took a toll on me! I enjoyed it for awhile because we were busy and I didn't notice it as much. But about 2-3 weeks ago I started to dislike it VERY much! We were able to pick him up for a day last week due to a heart attack scare that my dad had. We had to rush to Pocatello to see my dad in the ICU and I insisted that we pick up Peyton on the way just in case something was very wrong, I felt like he would need to see his grandpa. (Peyton and my dad are very close and he loves him very much) Luckily it was just a scare (for now) and we were able to go and see him and Peyton was too, which was very nice, just not under those circumstances. Anyhow, after our small trip in Pocatello, it was time to give him back to his dad, and he DID NOT want to go. I was having a hard time "making" him go, but I knew it was for the best as we are so busy with wedding plans. But a week after that, I just couldn't take it anymore, so we brought him home a week early!! Its so nice to have him back in our home!! There is no more silence and no more quiet moments.. but its nice! And we were able to tell him about the new arrival and he is SOOOO excited!! He wants to buy everything for "his baby" and even share his room!! He is pretty upset with us that he won't be sharing his room, but I assured him that he could have "sleepovers" in his room with the baby in the Pack N Play.. we will see how long that lasts!! One cry and he will be done I'm sure! Anyhow, heres a couple pictures to show ya what we have done since he has been home!!

Picture As Promised

1st Time Seeing Baby

We got to see our baby today!

1st time on the ultrasound!! VERY cool!! "It" was moving and wiggling around and you could see the "limbs" moving right along with it! So very awesome! Pictures to come soon! I just had to post how amazing it was and how very excited we are! Everything is going perfect as planned and we can't wait until

MARCH 13!!

I still have my very strong girl feeling so stay tuned for the last week in October when we find out!! :)

I have a FEELING...

I just have to get this off my chest. For the longest time I have had a strong feeling that this baby is a girl. So I had to give into my temptations of mythology. So I googled Chinese gender predictor chart and sure enough, doing that gave me the results of girl. And then i also did the test where you put your wedding ring on a string and dangle it over your wrist and if it circles, its a girl, and if it goes back and forth like a pendulum its a boy... well.. mine circled! So I'm just saying ahead of time, that I'm pretty sure no matter what our wishes, that we are getting a girl.... Of course we are totally fine with this and happy no matter what.. but I just had to get that all off my chest!! THANKS!! ;)
