My little one on ultrasound!!!

Okay, so I had yet another ultrasound done on me not too long ago, and I was lucky enough that the nurse loved to get good pictures of the baby. And randomly, my darling husband asks what kind of machines they use for the 3D ultrasounds that I've been so wanting to do. So the nurse pushes a "magic button" and BAM! here's my baby in 3D! I think she looks a lot like Kaitlyn... but that's just me personally.... ENJOY!

Shoutin out and spreadin some love! and A GIVEAWAY!

So my lovely friend Katria is having a blog give away, and in order to allow myself more and more chances to win, I am givin her "Massive Props" and a "Word". Lol... wow I'm glad I don't really use words like that... it comes out so geeky. But we have been friends for a REALLY long time and have some wonderful memories together, some crazy ones too, but a lot of good ones!

AND I'll give some sweet shout outs to Chilly, another amazing friend. Though i haven't known her nearly as long as Katria, I have a deep appreciation for her ability to keep Katria happy, and also how well she keeps her blog updated! YAY FOR CHILLY! (And I think it's amazing that she's giving away such a freakin cool prize on her blog! PIRATES FOREVER!!!


Also I'm going to copy this game they both have to see what interesting thing pop up for me! I don't really have anything cool to give away... OH WAIT!! I know!! Whoever wins my little giveaway.. I will make them a custom blog logo (like my pretty Creative Moments one up top here on my blog) made to their specifications. That's about the most talent I have so I'm going with that for now! And even if you don't want my almost cool prize

The Blogging Game

Here is a fun little game... leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time or a long time, anything that you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It is pretty funny to read the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you are playing and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. On your mark... get set... blog those memories!


So getta thinkin about how cool you think I am and any none humiliating memories you have of me! I'm off to get an all ice snow cone!! (no flavor is the best flavor!!)

Quick Update

So I'll be honest.... I'm a big time grump right now because I'm so incredibly uncomfortable! I've reached the point in my pregnancy where I don't sleep, I can't get comfortable no matter how I sit, lay, stand or move. Don't get me wrong, it's all part of the being pregnant and miracle of life thing I know and understand. I just wish it was a little less unpleasant... or that Kaitlyn would be a little more cooperative with me on regular daily tasks that have become so much harder as my stomach stretches to the point that everyone who looks at me says "You look like your about to 'Pop'!!" Nothin to boost your self esteem like people letting you know your still pregnant and fat! lol jk.

Anywho, enough complaining for right now. I had my visit with my prenatal specialist this last week and discovered that my previous complications I was having have pretty much faded away and I'm kinda in the home stretch as far as my pregnancy goes. But that's not the exciting part! As soon as I have energy and am not so busy being in pregnant misery (which should be some time later this week lol) I will post my adorable pictures from my ultrasound. My hubby randomly asked the nurse what kind of machines they use for the 3D ultrasounds, so she pushed one little button on her computer and started bringing up 3D images of our little one on the way! It was really amazing and she was really nice and patient to get us some really great pictures! It's amazing how much our new girl looks like our daughter now! You can really see a lot of similarities in their features just from the ultrasound!

So besides the doctors offices, and laying in my bed, I've been fairly busy around our place this last week. We got a new couch and a complete office set for Alex this week and have been setting it up and decorating here and there. He is really happy with it because he now has a professional work space, but we also added some touches which he says make it feel like his "MAN space" since his previous space has now been painted pink and covered in little princess decor. Also, we had a garage sale this last Saturday, which actually had a pretty good turn out. It was a lot of work, and pretty tiring, but we got rid of a lot of things that were just taking up too much space and made some money on the side... which is NEVER a bad thing.

So for now, that's pretty much an update. So I'll see yall on the flip side!!!

The Trip!

So if you have noticed, I'm very proud of my blog layout. The general layout itself has it's own little credits at the bottom, but i managed to somewhat customize it and please note my very cute Blog Title which I made all by myself in Photoshop! SO ME!



Okay, So I am finally gonna post about my trip which I got back from Sunday afternoon. K So on our way up on Thursday, we saw fit to stop and let the screaming KG run around on the playground at the gas station, which I saw as a good photo opportunity.


With tounge hanging out, KG is focused on sliding!
Husband got stuck in a crawly tube.


She has an obsession with steering wheels as well.


We had some fun! SO! We kept on cruisin' to the great "Up North", where we met up with my little sister who and went to dinner with her and her most recent boyfriend (big improvement from her last one... don't ask!!). Next day was spent with husbands friends at the mall where I proceeded to spend an over an hour and about $200 at one of my favorite stores ever... GO ARCHIVERS!!!!! LOVE IT!! Then relaxed at our hotel, did a little more shopping before dinner, then a nice swim in a FREEZING hotel pool. K can I just tell you when your stomach is huge from pregnancy and nice and skin tight, cold water does not "sooth" in a way you'd hope for!!! No sir!! OH! and we made some wicked awesome Angels and Airwaves flags for my hubby and his friend to take to Warped Tour. He actually got to meet them for the second time, and they signed the flags we made and said they were awesome! I was so proud of myself!

Saturday was awesome! Hubby and friends left for Warped Tour early in the AM, so my wonderful friend Katria came all the way to my hotel just to help me load up my child and all my swimming gear. We spent a few hours at her apartment pool swimming, which was WAY better because it was outside and warm! And believe it or not, my amazingly white self got some sun!.....k so I got a little burnt on my shoulders, but I haven't been able to lay out and get even remotely tan for almost 2 years! That's just the price of motherhood I guess. Anyway! So daughter finally falls asleep and me and Katria saw fit to mess with our cameras... she came out like this....Gosh dang that's awesome! Then guess what....... MORE SHOPPING! I managed to spend another $100 at Archivers. Yes... I am amazingly talented at spending money. So after shopping, we went to BYU campus to this cute little pond for more wonderful photo time.

Poor Ducks never saw her comin... she chased them for well over a half an hour....
My precious baby girl, KG. She's so cute!!!
The ducks finally got smart and ran up a little hill where she couldn't follow them anymore.
K this made me really excited. There were a lot of other people around the pond and what not and there were a few families with little kids. KG decided to share her ball and made friends with a few girls at the park. I was really happy to see her sharing so well and playing really well with the other kids, even though they just met!

So... that's about it for now. We had a good trip, it was a nice little break from the stresses of everyday life. And.... yeah that's about it for now. It'll be a few days before I post again becuase tomorrow is my husbands birthday (he's finally caught up to me and turning 22!) then the 4th of july holiday fun! So I'll see yall soon!
