Vacation!

Well, we were supposed to go to lake powell a couple of weeks ago and never made it so we had a little mini vacation at my parents. It was a lot of fun with Tie-Dye T-shirts and boating at the res. Thanks for the good times everyone! I finally found my camera since the vaca so here's some pictures!

Jack's first ride on the Jet-Bob, i think he liked it :)

Don't you?

Family photo, Jack wasn't the hugest fan of his life jacket, i can't say that i blame him, its all up in his face but oh well, better safe than sorry :) We survived

I guess my camera only made it to the lake....because thats all i have pictures of but perhaps i could steal some from my mom....um, it didn't work. Just know it was a blast!

Wowzers

This pregnancy has been....different. I wasn't showing much until the last couple of weeks or so and now i feel HUGE! Not necessarily just my belly but my whole body :(. I'm 22 weeks and 2 days, it has seriously flown by. I can't believe i'll have another little baby here in less than 18 weeks! Lol, that sounds so far away when i say it like that but in my mind its coming so fast. And thats another thing, i feel like i was JUST pregnant, sometimes even now i can't believe that i'm actually going through all of this again, so so soon. But we are so excited. Having a little girl will be so fun, making Jack a big brother will be so exciting! I love being a mom, i love my little Jack-man and i've heard its possible to love all of your kids the same...amazing. I can't wait to find out.

We're moving. We've got a little while (3 months) but if anybody knows of anyone hiring or looking for a HR intern in the Salt Lake Valley, let us know. My husband is as good as they get :) (even better actually)

So, with Jack i started feeling him move at 22 weeks. This little girl of ours has been ACTIVE since 17 or 18 weeks and John felt her before she was 20 weeks! She kicks so hard! I can't believe that we can feel her externally already, but boy do i love it. There's nothing like feeling little kicks and knowing that that is a little person inside of you. A little person that will someday turn into a little person like Jack, like us. Weird and AMAZING.

Heartburn during pregnancy. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get rid of it? Its already getting old and if i remember correctly, it only gets worse.

Anyway i just wanted to blog, now i'm done, sorry for the boringness of it :) We'll hopefully get some more pictures taken soon!

Random Jack-ness

This is my favorite latest picture of my one year old. I love his eyes, his smile, his crooked looking tougue, who couldn't love this boy?

Jack being tormented by his dad with the water...dads are really good at tormenting aren't they :)

I tried letting Jack feed himself with utinsel appropriate food, this is how it ended up. Actually it ended up with me finishing feeding him because he got sort of frustated after a while that it was taking so long to finish his food, this boy is an eater!

I wish i had a awesome camera because then i could have taking a really awesome picture of Jack in the paper sack, this picture doesn't due justice to how cute he looked in there!

(and yes, you can see, i'm doing my part to keeping the planet green!)

Check out those spider legs crawling down his cheeks eyelashes, they must have come from the milkman

Jacks two favorite things, hanging in the sink, and chewing on a toothbrush (i'm such a bad mom, he's sucking on dads toothbrush, and what do i do? Grab a camera...)

But i sure love him, besides, a little of his daddy's saliva never hurt anyone....that i know of...

Van Orman weekend :

We had a fun filled Labor Day weekend with family. John's brothers and sisters (most all of them) came down for a few days and party and party we did. Here's some pictures, the first night we all went up the canyon for tin foil dinners. The next day was filled with church, chicken tacos (amazing), and walks. Labor day was park playing, swimming and Golden Corral. Good times, thanks for coming everyone! We sure loved having you here!

(Kemri's knight in shining armor :))

Hanging with cousins :)

Jack and McLean, 3 months apart, best friends already

This was Jacks favorite position, he just laid like that forever and was so relaxed, good thing grandma's are so patient!

I love this face

and this one...

and this is the only photo we have from the canyon.

Obviously we have terrible pictures. Its hard to want to take many pictures with my point and shoot when we've got 2 professional photographers in the family with their super duper nice camera's taking tons of pictures. Hopefully i'll get some of theirs and maybe post some more pictures of more of the fam :)

Friday night Natalie and William came to spend the night. It was the first time i'd seen these newlyweds since the big day! It was fun to have them around, thanks for including us in your blessing plans! We went garage saleing and to the farmer's market, Saturday morning, its was fun and i scored a way cool FREE picnic basket, thrown in with a purchase of Nat's. (Thanks again)

aren't they perfect little sleepers :)

If it were me i'd probably be drooling and pulling really weird faces...

So glad John had so much work off for the fun filled weekend!

Its a.....

Princess! We couldn't be happier, or feel more blessed. We can't wait for a little girl to join our family!

Here's the little alien herself....i think she looks cute :)

(Sorry about the picture quality, i took a picture of a picture so this is what you get)

She was shy! She kept her hand over her face and her legs crossed. Looks like we've got a modest little one :)
