It's A Boy!

I had my big ultrasound appointment yesterday and was so excited to find out we are having another boy! That was our hope for the second time around. The baby looked very healthy and was measuring 20 weeks and 2 days! It was fun to watch the baby move around and I found out why I always have to go to the bathroom so much...his feet were literally jumping on my bladder! He also like to have his hands right by his face! I am so excited to meet the little guy! Josh and Ty were with me and Josh was really excited to hear it was a boy! Ty was his crazy self! They said if I went to term with this baby he would probably weigh between 7 1/2 to 8 lbs...that makes me really nervous, considering Ty was only 5lbs13oz. I guess we shall see when that day arrives. For now I am excited to get the room all ready! I am already trying to decide what color to paint the walls!

Who Do I Really Look Like

The Super Glue is a Thing of the Past!

The old make-shift glasses!

I was so excited today to go to the mailbox and find a little box all for me! Since Josh and I first got married, I have been wearing make-shift glasses. Actually, I wore contacts all the time, so it didn't really bother me. When I got pregnant with Ty, I could no longer wear contacts for some strange reason. My eyes would get really red and I would look very scary. After I had Ty, I could finally wear my contacts, but that only lasted for about 3 months and then the same thing started to happen. I was so frustrated and spent a lot of money on eye appointments, but every doctor I went to said the same thing, "Your eyes are definitely irritated!" This comment made me want to jump out of the chair and scream in the doctors face..."I already know that...why do you think I am here." After trying different contacts and solutions (more money), I gave up and resorted to wearing glasses until I can get Lasik. Over Christmas, my already make-shift glasses broke once again, so once again I super-glued them back together, but now the other side was cracked too. So it was off to the eye doctors to finally get some new glasses! Needless to say, I love my new glasses and it's so nice to not have to look through any super-glue smudges ! What do ya think?

Christmas Fun!

Mom and Ty at the deer farm. There is a big reindeer behind us that Josh was excited to see.
Ty thought this old tractor was really neat.
Mom and Ty on the old tractor...he didn't want to sit still for the picture.
Josh and Ty on the sled outside the deer farm. By this time Ty was getting tired of being still for pictures.
We are ready to get back in the truck and finish the long drive home.
Ty opening his grandma & grandpa Jensen's Christmas present. He got the Little People Barn and he loves all the animal sounds it makes.
On the way home from Oklahoma. Ty decided to take his shirt off when we got out of the truck.
Josh had a blast duck and goose hunting while in Oklahoma. It was way too cold to be out hunting.
Ty walking in the snow and still not enjoying it.
On the way home we stopped at the Deer Farm in New Mexico. It was a much needed break for Ty from his car seat and Josh and I were glad to stretch our legs. It was a fun little petting zoo, but Josh was disappointed that there weren't any nice elk or deer with antlers.

Funny story...I had planned on surprising Josh this Christmas with this gun safe. They delivered the safe and I decided to wrap it because then he would have some anticipation as to what it looked like. All day I was so excited for him to get home from work and see his present all wrapped. Well, he finally gets home and doesn't say one word about the huge box that is wrapped in our front room. I knew he had to notice it, but why wasn't he saying anything. About 15 minutes went by and still nothing. His cell phone rings and it was his twin brother. I realized why he was calling and started yelling,"Don't you say one word Jacob!" Then my cell phone rang and Jacob blurted out, "How does he not notice a gun safe in the front room?" If you know my brother-in-law, he talks really loud. Josh then said, "There's a gun safe under there?" The secret was out and I was so mad that the surprise had be ruined. After many years of ruined surprises, I will never tell Jacob what I am getting Josh for Christmas or any other gift for that matter. I asked Josh what he thought it was and this made me laugh so hard. He said, "You've been so excited about Christmas that I just thought it was another decoration!" Needless to say...I could have let this surprise go clear until Christmas and he would have been clueless the whole time.
Ty taking a bath with all his girl cousins. He usually loves bath time, but he was very unhappy this time.
Christmas morning in Oklahoma. Ty on his new bouncing Zebra. Poor kid kept getting kicked off by all of his older cousins. Now that we are home he is having a blast with his new toy.
It was a white Christmas in Oklahoma this year and I was excited for Ty to be able to play in the snow. As you can see...he was not so excited to play in the snow.

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!
