baby boy!

So we are finally getting the news out to the blogging world! We are having a baby boy! We had an ultrasound today and it looks like all the parts are there for a boy. I am 14 weeks, so there is the possibility that they were not correct on the gender. But the pictures look all boy! We can't get our scanner to work so, I'm sorry to say there won't be any ultrasound pictures on the blog just yet. We are so, so excited and now we need to start thinking about boy names more seriously. We have six months so I hope we can find a name we both like by the time he is born! I guess we will have to update the blog more often now. But I am not a big fan of pictures of my belly, so if you want to see my growing belly I guess you will have to see me in person!

Disneyland (Late)

First I feel like I have to explain why I have not posted until now. I kept waiting for Kurstin to post so I could steal some of her pictures, because we didn't get as many pictures as they did, it's been about three weeks now and still no post from Kurstin. So my pictures will have to do. After we got home from Disneyland I sort of tapped out of life, but I am back now so here is the Disneyland post for all to enjoy.


Mom, Ben, Kurstin, and Alex left on Saturday, but I had to work so Greg and I stayed behind. I worked on Sunday (which was the longest and worst work day). We were so excited to leave and be in the happiest place on earth that I did not go to work on Monday and we left St. George and 6AM and made it into Disneyland at 11:30am. We hopped between parks Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We went to Huntington Beach on Thursday, which was a blast until we all got home and realized that Kurstin, Ben, and Alex were all cherry red! They were sunburned to bad we thought about coming home early. But can you leave Disneyland early? NO! So we got up Friday, bought bus tickets so we didn't have to walk, had a relaxed day, and ended it all with the amazing fireworks show.









Alex was such a blast to be around. We was always so excited about everything and said some of the funniest things. One day we were at California Adventure and everyone got to go on the roller coaster but he wasn't tall enough. He was crying and was just so sad that he couldn't ride it. Greg was talking to him and trying to make him feel better. Well they ended up throwing a coin in some water that they were by and Alex made a wish. Well the next morning we were in Disneyland and before they open they come over the speakers and talk. Alex was so intent on what they were saying, and after it was over he said "Greg, my wish isn't going to come true because Disneyland is were dreams come true!" We had so much fun! Thanks for inviting us Alex!

Green Thumb??

Greg and I are trying to grow tomatoes this year. Neither of us have tested our green thumb, but if genetics has anything to do with it, there is not much coming from me. I would say sorry to my mom but she knows she cant grow anything. Greg's dad has a garden every year, so lets hope some of his green thumb got passed on to Greg. We are trying out the Topsy Turvey, which we have heard good things about, and then we have four other plants growing in a pot. We have been debating on whether or not to plant anything this year for a long time. We finally decided we might as well try, so we got a late start but we already have lots of buds and a flower!! Who knows if we will produce any tomatoes, but if we do I am going to grow a bigger variety of things next year. It has been kind of fun getting everything ready and now watching them grow. Wish us luck! (and if anyone has any tips feel free to leave a comment)

Spring Boarding

It was spring break this past week (well for Greg at least). I guess there is no such thing for me anymore now that I don't go to school. Anyway...we headed up to SLC for some snowboarding and to welcome home Mark and Amber from Afghanistan. Me, Greg, Mark, and Allison went night boarding on Friday night. We had a blast, but wished that Emily could have been there to join in on the fun. And to make it even better, I finally took pictures.

The classic car picture

We got home on Tuesday and on Wednesday we headed up to Brian Head for another day of snowboarding. We still had passes that we had to use this season and Greg is going to be so busy with school the next few weeks that we thought we better go while we could. I have never been boarding that close together and to say the least I am SORE! I took a couple of hard falls and my neck is feeling it. We started out with coats and hats, but quickly found that we were sweating. So we went back to the car and re-dressed for the warm weather. On our second to the last run I fell hard. It was definetly the worst fall I have ever had. I thought I was going to black out. Everything is fine, but my body is just very bruised and stiff. I was so excited to use my new prescription sunglasses. I love them and they worked great for snowboarding!

Another classic car picture

We finally have everything put away until next season. We loved the spring snowboarding. It was so warm and the views were beautiful. I think we both agree that we will have to go to Brian Head more often next year. I do have to say that the snow at Brighton was better!

I finally can use my Christmas present! I spent the weekend at Lara's house learning and fixing my photoshop. Friday and Saturday we spent most of the time first-getting the program to work, and second-organizing and sharing supplies. We never got to actually make something, but when I got home I got to work and this is what I came up with. It's pretty addicting. Greg said it's a good thing I don't have anything more important to do because I would never get it done. Although I have managed to get the laundry done today.



Sunday we attended the Super Bowl party at Ben's house. It's the first time Greg and I have been able to go. It was a blast, but we definitely ate WAY too much! How can you not when there is so much good food. I've decided it was worth it!

Monday Lara taught me how to make homemade rolls. I have wanted to learn how for awhile now, and now I finally know how. It's not as hard as I thought it would be. I guess we will see how it goes when I make them by myself.

To top it all off, on Monday just as we were wrapping up a game of Uno Flash and getting ready to leave, Patrick called and wanted to know if we had to get home or if we could stay to go to the Jazz game. Greg didn't need to think about it at all, so we stayed. We had a fun night and the Jazz even won! It was a busy weekend, but we even managed to go out to dinner with Greg's family on Saturday night. It's always fun to get together, but it's never long enough! Thanks guys for a fun extended weekend!
