Sigh and Swoon...

This post has nothing to do with babies or family or anything like that. My friend emailed me this picture today, and it lifted my day so much that I just had to share it with everyone. His hotness is never ending, thank goodness.

Still a Boy!

We had another ultrasound today, and it went pretty good. The doc says that the hole in his heart has closed up and he's looking healthy. I guess I'm running a little low on amniotic fluid, so I'll have to fill up the next time I go to the pump.
This is a picture of his cute little face. If you've had kids and ultrasounds, you'll probably be able to see his round little cheeks and head. If not, you're out of luck and you'll just have to wait until he's born to see how cute he is. Sorry, that's just how it goes.

Twilight Birthday

Every year my family has 5 different birthdays to celebrate in the month of January. This includes myself, 2 nieces, a nephew, and my brother-in-law. Since there are so many of us, we try to do something a little extra special for the event. My niece Lara came up with the great idea of having a Twilight themed party. Now why didn't I think of that? (Shame on me, I know).
The party was hosted by my brother and his wife, and it was awesome. The decorations were so pretty, and the food was applause worthy. I made a blood-red apple flavored punch that was almost as tasty and tempting as Bella must be to Edward.

It's a boy!

We had our ultrasound last week and were able to find out that we are having a boy. Gavin was in shock and Kaylee cried a lot. They have had some time to get used to the idea and they are both excited to have a little brother.
The ultrasound chic only gave me two stinking pictures. She was kind of stingy. The only other one she gave me was of his junk and I didn't really want to post that. So here's a pic of his cute little foot instead. Enjoy!

Happy New Years

Everyone should pat yourself on the back for making it through another year, don't you think?
We spent our New Years holiday in Rio Rancho, New Mexico with Ben's brother and their family. It was a nice change from past New Years plans.
A road trip in the middle of winter was a little scary at times, but we made it there and back just fine.
We spent some time at the park, visited Old Town Albuquerque, watched the boys play the Wii, scrapbooked, and celebrated my nieces Courtney and Jessica's birthdays. The girls got manicures, new ear rings, and ice cream sundaes at a cute 50's diner in the mall. They were such cute little princesses.

Christmas Lights

Ben and I took the kids to see the lights out at Willard Bay this last weekend. While Ben accompanied me under a slight amount of duress (guys use the headache excuse when they don't want to do stuff too), the kids and I had a blast. In addition to the awesome lights, they had real reindeer on display, hay rides, hot cocoa and other snacks, and even a semi-warm place to visit Santa. While driving near the nativity scene light display, I found out that Gavin confused "The 3 Wise men" for "Henchmen". Apparently it's time to talk about the true meaning of Christmas.

13 Going on 30

A few weeks ago I went to a "13 Going on 30" party at my friend Angie's house. We thought it would be fun to get a group of girls from Jr High and High School together (Katie, Suzanne, Julie, Rachel, and Jessica) to celebrate that we are all getting ready to or already have turned 30 this year. We played some games, ate good food, and had lots of fun. I'm so still be friends with these lovely ladies.
