Baby Shower

Bath Goods

Diapers...I will be seeing a lot more of these very soon!!

The cutest little jacket!

So we finally had the baby shower!! It was such a great shower that Tracie and Ashton put together. The food was great and the company even better. It was fun to see some friends I haven't seen for a while. Our little guy got soooo much stuff. He is going to be one good dressed kid. He is going to be embarrassed to be seen with his mommy with my spit up outfits. We got a stroller and carseat as well as a swing, which we are pretty sure we will be using a lot...Jake and I both loved to swing when we were little. Anyway, we feel so blessed to have gotten so many nice things. It got me even more excited to have our little guy. I can't believe how fast the pregnancy has flown by.

School Starts!!

The Battle Wound

The Alpine Slides!

The Baja Cantina

So school has begun again!! The summer seems to have flown by. September 2nd was the first day of BYU for Jake. It feels so weird not to be going to classes. It is awesome to have no homework though! Jake has already had quite a load already in that department. I thought now would be a good time to recap some things from the past month. On the 23rd of August we had a fun day in Park City as a family. The boys went golfing and the girls went shopping. We ended up getting baby clothes :) Then we met up and had dinner at the Baja Cantina! The food there is amazing! After our bellies were full we all went down the Alpine Slides (except me)... I didn't want to go pregnant just in case something happened. Since I am extremely accident prone, I thought it would be best. Turns out Jake decided to be the one to get hurt since I couldn't. He fell off the slide as he was racing Dan down the hill.

Jake also put together a mission reunion on the 30th which turned out great! It was a BBQ and quite a few people showed. It was good for Jake to see everyone from the mission again. That day we also went to the first BYU football game!! It was a really hot day, but a pretty good game, minus all the turn overs. I couldn't make it through the entire game because I was getting too overheated, so we watched the rest of it on tv with air conditioning. GO BYU!

1 Year Anniversary

In front of the Anniversary Inn

Our Sultan's Bed

Just chilling!

Our sweet jacuzzi tub!!

I can't believe it has already been a year! To celebrate we went to the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake. It is a place that has themed rooms. We got the Sultan's Palace. Jake made it a surprise. He is romantic like that. It was really nice...made us feel like royalty. We got breakfast delivered to our room in the morning which was awesome. I sure could get used to that:) It was so wonderful to just have a relaxing weekend together.

Growing Belly

5 Month Belly shot!!

Ashley's belly!!

Jake felt left out and wanted to take a picture of his belly too.

My growing belly!

Jake and I just chilling

I thought it was about time to post some belly pictures. It will be fun to keep track of the progress so I can remember. My belly has been growing steadily. It is crazy how fast it seemed to happen. My growing belly is slowing me down a bit, but I love it. It is much better than being sick. My legs ache a lot and Jake is a good sport and massages them a lot! I just try and take it easy most of the day, because I get tired very easily.

It's a BOY!

I recently had my first ultra-sound and found out we are having a BOY! He is healthy and very active. He was so funny during the ultra-sound -- fliping and moving all over the place. He even sucked his thumb for us. I tried to get the ultra-sound pictures on our blog, but they weren't very clear. It was such a wonderful experience for Jake and I to see our little baby. It made it so much more real. Now we can start really thinking of names! I have also found myself constantly looking at babies clothes, toys, cribs, etc that we will be needing soon. We are getting sooo excited!!

Graduation!

I have been so spoiled and have been able to

see my family a lot recently.

I got to sing in the marriott center also!

Oh yea...and I graduated from BYU with a BS in

Sociology and a minor in music. I thought I would

post some pictures from that great day.

NJ Trip

Bradley was the star of the entire vacation!

He is the cutest boy in the world.

I just got back from New Jersey. My family is moving to Virginia, so we

decided to have a last little family reunion before the big move. It is the house we

grew up in, so it was bittersweet. It was so good to see the family! It was

especially good to see Bradley- the newest addition to the family

(Marg and Mike's son). He is sooo cute.
