3 things

1.BIG UPDATE:: we moved again blog world, this time to Milwaukee Wisconsin!! Skylers company promises this is the last time this summer, ha! but i actually LOVE it here. I have no idea why but i really truly love the area, weather, and the beauty! So thats the latest here.

2.I had my ultrasound scheduled to find out what we are having for NEXT week, but now that we moved that was kinda halted. I found a new doctor and have an appointment on tuesday, she said if there is a tech in she might do my ultrasound then, if not she will get it scheduled for sometime soon ish. So here we go with the guessing....what does everyone think it is? BOY OR GIRL???? I can say i am honestly soooo confused, i swore it was a girl for a while cause i was so sick and a few other things BUT skyler and I have had dreams NONSTOP lately that it is a boy...so we are split over here.

3. I have had alot of requests lately for belly pictures. I know I am not huge yet...even though I feel like I am but here are some pictures. Don't mind that some are me with my shirt pulled up and some not...Skyler and I arent the best belly documenters but we try.13 weeksAnywhere between 15-16 weeks This is me TODAY, as recent as it gets. I'm just about 17 weeks.and just to end the post this is the cutest picture of skyler and I on our 10 month anniversary, its a year in just over a month...CRAZY!

obsessed

Dont ask me how i stumbled across this website, but i am completely obsessed. This is the coolest cake i have ever seen in my life. [Click here for the recipe] I want to make this cake for ever single birthday that my kids ever have. I am going to go grocery shopping for the ingredients and i will let you know how it goes, but for now i am completely OBSESSED!

take me out to the ball game

Growing up in a baseball loving family I naturally have a love for it. Whether it was going to my brothers baseball games or heading out to San Fransisco for a Giants game I loved EVERY minute of it. Living in Idaho there is no baseball insight and over the last few years I have been itching to be able to go out to a ball game. The first day Skyler and I got to Portland we took a drive down our street to check out the town and I spotted PGE Park, it looked like a baseball stadium if I had ever seen one but I knew for a FACT that portland does not have a major league team. That night I went home and did some research and found out that it IS a baseball stadium for the minor league team the Portland Beavers! I have been SO excited about this since we got here and last night a group of us finally went to a game!! I cant lie..I was a little disap
pointed by the small crowd but it was still a fun game and we got to sit right behind home plate. The beavers started off losing miserably but in the 5th inning they got a GRAND SLAM and ending winning the game 6-4! and the most exciting part of the game.....I caught a fly ball!!I really hope that one day we have a little boy who loves baseball so we can continue to have a team to root on!

more baby

our baby is looking a whole lot more human!! it was so cute today, moving around like crazy and looked like it had the hiccups!! its heart beats 163 times a minute.
i would update my blog more often but i am SO boring. I sit around all day with no cable, no internet half the time, no phone, and SICK!! i do lots of puzzles and card games just counting down the minutes for skyler to come home from work. I am starting to feel a little better though and hopefully in the next few weeks life will be exciting again!

our baby

today i got to see our baby!! it is a little angel and i just love it, you could see it's little arms moving around on the ultrasound and its little heart beating. This whole pregnancy is so much more real now that i actually SAW our baby! After the ultrasound i had to go to the lab for some blood tests and they took 10 viles of blood. After about 4 my arm stopped cooperating and they had to switch arms. I sometime during the switch passed out long enough for her to get the last 6 viles of blood, wake up on a gurney with about 8 people around me trying to wake me up. They said i got so pale that they could almost see through me. They had to call skyler to come pick me up and wouldn't release me till i stopped shaking...which took forever. i have no clue why i went out but i was so confused when i woke up and was completely COVERED in sweat. Even though the appointment ended bad i was still so excited to have the pictures of baby in hand!dont mind that i am holding the pictures upside down or that i look deathly, this being sick business has taken quite a toll on me.

everyone dreams

Skyler has something new that he wants to be probably every week. Throughout our marriage he has wanted to be a helicopter pilot, cop, homicide investigator, firefighter, ski instructor, truck driver, ski lift technician, a bounty hunter, lawn man, a country singer or rockstar, a back country paramedic and so many more i can't even recall.

Driving into oregon we drove through many mountain passes and through one of them there was lumberjacks cutting down trees with some huge machines. Skyler's eyes lit up and he made me take a picture of him with a log so he can "see himself as a lumberjack." The whole ride home all i heard about was how great it would be to be a lumberjack.

Yet...with all these hopes and dreams he is majoring in accounting

more announcements..

save the date....december 8th






....YES i am pregnant! I had to wait to tell until i got to california to tell my mom in person. She FLIPPED [video below] I had her "help me carry in some stuff" and gave her a bag i got from the doctor FULL of all kinds of pregnancy stuff. As she was walking in the house she kept trying to see what was in the bag then after she set it down, it hit her..and then the craziness happened.

But the important stuff, i am 5 weeks along and so far so good. I am SO tired all the time and pee every 2 seconds but no sickness. Skyler and i are so excited!!

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Skyler and I are moving to Portland...In a few days. I don't know how i forgot to announce it to the blogging world but we are moving out of rexburg, for 5 months. Skyler is going to work all summer in Portland, then we will come back to the burg in the fall. I am SO excited for a change of scenery...and free rent! This should be an adventure!!

sunn diego

The other weekend Skyler, His brother Ladd, and I took a quick weekend road trip to San Diego to visit family that was there on spring break. There was A TON of driving but we all had so much fun and the driving didn't even phase us too much. We spent a few days at the beach, got to stay with the Hazens and spend some time with them, See little brother Zach before he leaves on his mission to Mexico, got some sexy sunburns, and just had some genuine fun laughing with the Evans family alll day long.

SLACKER!!

I have been slacking bad when it comes to blogging, so here's a little catch up of the last month or so...

1. Skyler DID NOT buy a motorcycle. He was just trying to be a little jokester, i would never NEVER let him buy a motorcycle.

2. VALENTINES, so so so fun. Skyler took me out to eat the night before and then blindfolded me. We drove around for a while and then we walked me [blindfolded STILL] into a hotel room. He had decorated the room earlier in the day and it was so cute. We just relaxed, went into the hottub, ect ect..Then on Valentines we woke up and drove to Grand Targhee and went snowboarding for a few hours. That night we went out to eat with some friends and after words had a mini prom at the clark pest control building, it was actually kinda cute!3. Skyler has a new obsession with building snowboard ramps. He borrowed a tow rope from a friend and he connects it to the back of our friends car. The driver gets up to about 30 MPH pulling skyler till they get to the ramp and skyler thinks he gets "good air"...not the safest obsession in the world.4. There is so much snow here that it is higher than our mailbox...sad.5. FHE, we try to do FHE every week with our family that is here in town. The other week Skyler tried to be creative and came up with "7 minute craft box". He filled a box with random stuff from around the house and we had 7 minutes to make our own creations. After the time was up we all explained our inventions and had a good laugh.6. We got to babysit a friends little boy HUNTER and he is an ANGEL! He is about 4 1/2 months and Skyler and him were buddies, it was SO cute. We had so much fun having him over here, but it get's us both a little baby hungry...watch out mom!potty training hunter7. This last weekend some friends of ours were in Utah. They kept trying to get us to go down there to go snowboarding but we had other plans for friday night and didn't have time to get there before saturday. SO friday night we got home about 11:30 and at about midnight Skyler decided that we should go on an adventure and we went down to Utah. We got there about 4 a.m. and had to wake up at 7:30 to go boarding. The day was absolutely beautiful, it was warm and the sun was shining. I had no goggles because they got stolen a few months back and i got the WORSE sunburn. My face had ugly tan lines from my beanie and my eyes were blood shot. My under eyes and eye lids were so burnt that the next morning i could not even open my eyes and my face looked like a freakin tomato. Even though i felt like death after we had a ton of fun, but by the time we got back to rexburg we were EXHAUSTED. [yes, we drove home that same night and got back about 3 a.m.]

OK there we go, welcome to my life for the last few weeks!!
