Family Fun/Pregnancy Update!

I am 16 weeks 2 days. I had my doctor appointment today and was hoping to find out the sex of the baby. Well, this little one is shy compared to his older brother. My doctor told me that the baby had his hand covering its bottom. I was so bummed...I can't wait another 4 weeks to find out what I am having, but I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and wait a little longer. Ty was never shy about showing his manhood, so I thought for sure it would be the same with this baby...I guess I was wrong.

I am part of the Zephyr Singers here in our valley and this was at our Christmas performance for Festival of the Trees. I had to pry Daddy and Ty away from their outdoor fun to come hear me sing...hence their choice of clothing. I love Christmas time! When I am pregnant, I like to take headshots to see how puffy my face gets throughout the process. This is me at 14 weeks 5 days! This is also to show my sisters my shorter hair...I miss having it long!


We went to St. George to Fiesta Fun for a family playday. We all had a great time and Ty loved the padded 2 story playhouse. He got really good at climbing to the top and loved it when mommy and daddy would chase him up. He didn't really care to go down the slide by himself, but liked it if he was with me or Josh. It was just fun to leave and go have some good old fun!
My little camo boy...I just think he is so cute! Once again I am a biased mom!
I was trying to get a picture of Ty's first fat lip and bloody mouth, but it didn't turn out too good. He was walking on the kitchen floor and tripped and his face hit before his hands. I was freaking out because all I could see was a mouth full of blood. I was so happy that there was no teeth missing or big gashes to worry about...just a fat lip. That was my first real scare with Ty...glad we got through it with no ER visit!

Ty's visit with Santa

We went up to St. George to do some shopping and decided to visit Santa while we were there! Ty loved Santa. He would just stare at him as Santa talked to him. I was so happy because it only took one try to get the cutest picture ever (no I am not a bias mom)! My only worry the entire time was that Ty would pull on Santa's beard and it would come off. Once I got close enough to Santa I realized his beard was real and all worries were gone! I just love being a mom and making all these fun memories!

Playing Catch Up

Can you tell who dressed Ty? If you guessed daddy, you were right! I had to capture this on film! What a little "hood rat"

I love this picture because he looks so happy and of course, so adorable!

I love our Christmas Tree this year. Josh and Ty went to Utah Mountain and chopped it down and I think it is great! Last year we had a very little and sad looking tree! Growing up we didn't have real tree's, so it has been something new for me. However, they do make your house smell so good!
I finally had to tell people that I was pregnant today. When I walked by my young women one of them said, "Just ask her" I turned around and said, "Ask me what?" They said they would ask me later. I knew exactly what they were thinking because I had a lot of people looking at my belly today! I am happy that the secret is finally out and people know I am just not packing on the Holiday pounds! These pictures are especially for my sister Carrie...she requested them.
Pregnant me at 14 weeks 1 day! I already feel so much bigger than I did with Ty...it's a little scary!
This was a very funny moment. We were trying these boots on Ty to see if they fit him. Once they were on, he took off and wouldn't let us take them off. I just love the onsie and boot look!
I think Ty looks so cute in this shirt. He no longer looks like my baby, but my little boy. I love the big smile on his face.
Ty riding the swing at grammy and poppy's house in Oklahoma. He loved it and tried to bounce on it like he was riding a horse. I think he had a great time on our trip.

More footage of Ty and his boots! I tried to get him to say some of the words he says now...hope you enjoy!
