IT'S A BOY!!!

We found out yesterday that we are having a baby BOY!!! What am I going to do with myself, I've gotten so used to bows, nail polish, chapstick, purses, baby dolls, pink and more pink!!! We are WAY excited, Nick can't wait to have a little basketball buddy!!

The Fort and the Suns

Dallin and Sherry came over Saturday morning after I got home from the garage sales and invited us to go to the Suns game. Nick was jumping up and down like he had just won the lottery or something!! We had a great time, Nick thought it was so cool to see Shaq. The Suns killed the Kings and we ended up leaving early. Thanks Dallin and Sherry we had a great time!!

Nick would not keep a straight face for the life of him, believe me we tried several times to get a decent picture out of him!! Gotta love him!!

















Saturday I got up bright and EARLY to go garage selling with my neighbor Katie. She is the queen of finding great deals at garage sales. I have been looking for some outdoor toys for the backyard so I thought I give it a shot. We came up empty handed but I did find Payson a little mini dirt devil vacuum and a baby swing for her dolls. I was so excited to get home and show her what I found but to my dismay she was more excited to show me what her and daddy had been up to all morning!! She ran me right into her room and this is what I found!! Nick and her eating skittles at 9 o'clock in the morning having a blast in the fort they made!! She did not want him to get out, they were both in heaven. Nick kept telling me about how much fun he had as a kid making forts all the time, so thats there new little thing.

Happy Birthday Babe!!!

Alright, everyone has been giving me a hard time about not blogging in forever, so here I go!! We had Nicks 24th birthday earlier this month which was fun!! Payson and I baked him a cake and she enjoyed frosting it the most. I think she dipped her hand in the frosting just about every time I turned my head. We didn't really celebrate on his actual b-day because it was on a Friday and he said he'd rather do something on Saturday so he could have the whole day......he actually believes when it's your b-day you get a whole week to celebrate.......oh shoot me!!! So on Saturday I surprised him and we went and got massages, which is a whole other story!! He really enjoyed that and it was much deserved for him. Then after that I took him on a wild goose chase to Flemings Steak House, he has been wanting to go there for a while now and I thought his b-day was a good enough excuse to blow WAY to much money on food!!! We had a great time, Nick was in heaven eating his steak, I of course got chicken!!! His birthday was a success, he's finally as old as I am, which always makes him feel a little bit better!! He is an amazing husband and dad. He works so hard, goes to school and has a very busy church calling but he always is sure to spend time with his girls, he's the BEST!!

Nick and I along with Jason and Heidi Woody went snowboarding this weekend up at Sunrise. It was a ton of fun and Freezing cold!! We left Friday afternoon to drive up and we were hearing that the roads were all closed up north because it had been snowing all day. That wouldn't stop Nick and Jason from going though, they were dead set on it.....shoot me!!! We got to about Heber and it was snowing like crazy all the way to Sunrise, it was a SLOW trip but very adventurous to say the least!!! Saturday morning we woke up and it was a beautiful sunny day but still way cold. We all had a great time, Nick hadn't been since before his mission and it had been a few years for me too. No trips to the ER, which was good, I was a little nervous for Nick. If any of you know my husband he can get a little crazy, I had to give him like 5 pep talks about not doing anything dumb. Of course I was way worried about being 3 months pregnant and going but my Dr. said it would be alright up until I was 5 months along. I just took it easy and stayed out the way of the skiers!!

Happy Valentines Day

Our friend Nikki invited all the kids over on Valentines day to decorate cookies. It was a ton of fun, I think Payson liked eating the frosting the best. Thanks Nikki for letting us all come destroy your house and eat all your delicious cookies!!

baby #2 is on its way!!

Our little family of three is about to become a family of four!!! Were havin' a baby!! I'm due at the end of August, which should be a total blast going through the hottest part of the summer huge and pregnant......shoot me!!! We are all way excited, Payson thinks the baby is in her belly, daddys belly and of course mine but that's because she thinks everyone has a baby, gotta love little kids!!

We had some of our friends and neighbors over for dinner/FHE last night and the kids all decided it would be fun if they all jumped in Payson's crib together. We have so much fun with our neighbors, the kids all love each other and play almost everyday together. Poor Tyce, he's the only boy so far...although Nikki and Isaac have one coming in April but I think it's too late he's already been overcome by 4 other girls!!!

Dora, Dora, Dora!!!

I want to shoot myself for ever introducing Dora the Explorer to Payson.....she's obsessed!!! We got her ready to go out and play the other day, and this is all she wanted to do!! I never thought I would have a child so into T.V.......more like Dora, that's all she really gets into so I guess it could be worse!!

I'm it!!
