... with just 12 weeks to go ...

WELLL!! Time is starting to fly which means our baby girl is going to be here in no time! We have started to slowly prepare for her and hopefully we will be all done by April. We have started to get some fun things done though!! Yay!

..growing belly... (28 weeks)

... Ive been getting a lot of sleep in my FAVORITE chair...

...Caden and gage put together her new crib...

....the dresser/changing table...

..the finished crib...

... and our FIRST box of diapers that we have ever bought.. they are SO cute... i know crazy to think that diapers are cute but they are and they are so tiny. In a few months theyll stink so i am enjoying them now hah.

We also have picked out a name that we are about 90% sure on... HADLEE JO. We are so excited and blessed to have her in our lives and we cant wait until she is here.

Cadens DREAM come true!!!!!

We all know that Caden's dream come true was marrying me.. hahah ok ok ok... I made that up. His dream come true is when he wakes up to a snowy morning and doesn't have work or school. He LOVES looking out the window when huge flakes are falling and STICKING to the ground. Well-- last sunday the flakes were falling and of course they were sticking! We were getting dumped with the snow. I had a feeling that something was stirring in his mind because he really didnt say much during church. We got home and he put on his ski clothes and grabbed a shovel. He started working on a SKI HILL right in our FRONT YARD!!! This is for sure his dream come true plus more!! A SKI JUMP right in his own front yard! He got it all built after several hours and finally calling Gage over for a little help. They skied it for so long that night and had so much fun!! Im lucky to have such a fun husband.

So I thought this was a cute indoor "mud room" or entry way. I thought it would be so cute with a white rocking chair.. a pillow on it.. maybe some kind of potted plant.. ya know?? the whole cute and cozy look. No, the boys named this the "snow room--its where you change your boots and leave your skis and poles." OH goodness.

...our WIGGLY growing baby girl...

My baby bump is growing s.l.o.w.l.y but surely! I am feeling so good and I can feel her moving all around. I felt the hiccups for the first time at Karlee and Daniel Willey's wedding... which I think was November 6th. It was so cute!! Little little bumps and Caden can ususally feel them too.

She is the sweetest and most precious thing to us already. Ill post more pictures next week when we have our 20 week check up. Almost HALF WAY!! Yay!! and no... we dont have any idea what her name will be. Its bubba for now.. I know, not too feminine but it works for now :).

14 weeks

10 weeks

6 weeks 6 days!

WELLL...... We went to the doctor this morning and good news.. I REALLY am pregnant!! The baby is between 1/4 inches and 1/2 inches long. SO TINY. We could see the little heart beat pounding away and it was the cutest thing ever. I am 6 weeks and 6 days long and I am due April 20th. I cant wait!

...BEST NEWS...

On Wednesday August 18th I was on my way to work and decided it was time to take a pregnancy test. I stopped at Harmons by St. Marks Hospital and got one. I took it at work and it came back POSITIVE. I was SOOOOOO excited but I couldnt believe it. I brought the test into my supervisor and asked her if that meant I was pregnant because I hadnt seen a positive test before. She said of course it did and suggested I go right to my doctor at the hospital. I went and had the dr test me and sure enough... I AM PREGNANT! They figured I am about 6 weeks along and due around April 15th. I will not know for sure until I go to my OB doctor on the 31st. We are so excited for this baby and I cant wait to get a big belly and prepare for this sweet little spirit to come into our lives. Its such a blessing!! AND NOW I will have something fun to blog about!

...apartment number 3...

I have been so behind on posts! I dont know where the time goes... its crazy!! Anyways this is mostly for Mindi because I guess she asked Caden to have me post some pictures. We love where we live and we love the ward! As most of you know it is in a family's basement. We havent really gotten to know them too well but they are really nice. Here are some pictures--

...Weekend Getaways...

I am a little behind but I did forget to post our guys/girls trips! Caden keeps saying I need to get his pictures on here... so I will! The second weekend of April my sisters had a dance competition in St. George. We've always had it a fun girls weekend while my dad and brothers stay home. HOWEVER.. this year my dad decided it would be fun if he had something planned for him, Caden, and Gage to get to do. They decided to go to Moab for the weekend. They took bikes and four wheelers and had so much fun! We relaxed, shopped, and went to a few dance competitions. OH AND I CAANNNT FORGET... our new friend-- "poolside" one of the happiest people I have ever met.
