And then there were four.....

It is time to make the official announcement.........Kimmie is going to be a big sister!!!! I am almost 9 weeks pregnant. We have known since before I even missed my period, those digital tests are great! Today was my first appointment and things went great! We are going to the same office Kimmie's doctor was in, but we decided this time we want a midwife. Her name is Helen and we LOVE her!! She actually delivered Kimmie because the doctor was called to an emergency, so we already knew we liked her. Today she did an ultrasound and said things look great! We were able to see the heartbeat on our little kidney bean sized baby:) So fun! I am due on July 4th. We are very excited:) Kimmie is also excited! If you ask her "Where is your baby?" she lifts up her shirt and points to her belly button. Too cute! She will be almost 2 when the baby is born & we know she is going to be a great big sister!

Our trip to Utah & more!

Okay, so I have been behind on blogging, sorry. In the beginning of the month we went to Utah. While we were there we were VERY busy!! Here is a rundown of what we did: BYU football game (my first college football game ever!); went to a Grizzlies game (hockey); saw Aunt Stephanie's new house (which is very nice); hung out with Flee and even got to see Dave; visited my old bishop's wife (I love her!); had lunch with friends; had dinner with amazing old roommates/friends; made a mess of Angie & Rossii's house (thanks for letting us stay with you!); sho and of course spent as much time with my sisters as possible! It was an exhausting trip! We spent 6 days there and then it was back to Oregon, where Angie & Rossii joined us for a little vacation of their own. While they were here we did an underground tour of Portland, ate at voodoo donuts, watched plenty of movies (I think the last count was 8 total) and had some really good laughs. It was nice having them visit! Now that things are starting to settle down again, we have planned another trip to Utah on December 6th! My mom can't get the holidays off work, so we are all meeting in Utah to celebrate Christmas early! It will be so nice to see my mom again, it has been too long & Kimmie has changed so much. Hmmmm......I think that about covers our past couple weeks. Oh wait, one new thing: Kimmie has always liked music, but now she has decided she loves rock music the most! She has two favorite songs that she loves to dance to. When you turn on a song she starts bobbing her head and swinging her arms and her face lights up with a huge smile. It cracks me up! We recorded it, so I will post it soon. Here are a some pictures from our trip. (I didn't take many on our camera, so I have more of Kimmie with my sisters, but they are on Nicky's camera) These pictures are in backwards order of our trip, but I am too lazy to take the time to fix it, sorry:) Oh, and today Seth took me out driving to some places where they filmed Twilight! It was so fun, but I know realize I am a huge nerd!!!

I just saw TWILIGHT!!!!!

Ok, so it is 1:00am Wednesday night (I guess it is technically Thursday) and I just got home from seeing Twilight!!!!! You may be asking yourself why I got to see it before it is even out yet, but I am just a lucky girl I guess:) Anyway, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!!! Without giving away too much, I will just say it was really good. It was not exactly what I was expecting and going into it I was not happy with their choice for Edward, but now I think they made a great decision casting him! I want to blog about all of the movie, but I will save that for later. It was more humorous than I thought it would be and I really liked Jasper's character (you will understand when you see it) Ok, I hope I haven't spoiled it too much for anyone. My only piece of advice is only see the movie if you have read the books. Overall, I thought it was a great movie and now I am going to read the books again. I can't wait for the next movie!!! Well, I can't wait to read everyone else's blogs about the movie! I am going to bed, goodnight!

It's been a while

Ok, so I know it has been a while since I have posted, but we have been super busy. We spent a week in Utah & right now our friends Angie & Rossii are in town visiting. I have all sorts of fun pictures from our recent adventures and I promise I will post them once things settle down! We had so much fun in Utah & really miss my family & all our amazing friends. Kimmie loved spending time with Aunt Tina (and Uncle Scott), Aunt Nicky & cousin Spencer. Kimmie has mastered peek-a-boo and how to blow kisses. It was a lot of fun, but it will be nice to get our life back on schedule. We are going back to Utah on December 6th to celebrate Christmas early. Kimmie is so excited to spend time with Grandma!!!

Ouchie!

Well, yesterday Kimmie was sitting on the couch in the playroom watching Cinderella while I was on the computer (which is in the same room, don't worry, I didn't just leave her to fend for herself). One of her favorite parts in the movie is when the mice start singing while making her dress. She decided to stand up and dance, which was a bad idea! I watched as she tumbled over the side of the couch. I was nervous because we have a wooden trunk we keep blankets in and she just barely missed it, or so I thought. She didn't cry for long and was back to singing before the song was even over. She was fine the rest of the day and then when I was getting her changed into her pajamas I noticed the scrape on her thigh and stomach! I guess she didn't miss the trunk like I thought. She must have scraped along it when she fell. sorry this picture isn't the best quality & there is a shadow on it. I feel so bad! It does not seem to be hurting her, but this is her first major ouchie. She falls a lot now that she is walking everywhere but she is so tough and just gets right back up. It is so sad seeing your little baby hurt! It didn't break the skin or anything, so we are lucky, it could have been a lot worse!
Onto something not so sad, I am still having trouble being a shop-a-holic at Goodwill! Here is what I have bought in the last couple months:
for me:
1 sweater 2 skirts 3 dresses (brand new, tags still on) 3 pairs of capris (all brand new with tags still on) 1 pair sweatpants 1 pair knee length shorts (brand new) 1 shirt 1 pair of Diesel shoes, brand new with tags still on!!
for Kimmie:
2 pairs of shoes (brand new) 1 dress 3 pants Baby Einstein DVD 2 sweaters 1 shirt 1 pair rain boots
Random stuff:
2 tennis raquets 3 tennis balls 2 books for Seth butter dish & all the supplies for the candy dishes I have been making
The grand total I spent for all of this was $89.92!!! Can you believe it!!! I am hooked! Seth says I have a problem, but oh well:) Now I am on the hunt for Christmas!
Oh yeah, Kimmie has been drooling like crazy & today we noticed one of her molars finally came through! We are glad it finally happened and excited to the rest to finally come through!
