It's Been Awhile!

I know I need to post some pictures! Our camera hasn't been working the best for us! We really need to get a new one before the baby comes!
Anyways, I will try and get it to work so that I can post some pictures of Christmas and the snow that has finally come! I am so excited that it has snowed and we are suppose to get snow all week this week! On Saturday we had a white out when we woke up! It was so much fun! We drove to one of Brayli's basketball games on Saturday morning and it was just crazy weather!
Anyways, I promise to get pictures because I know that it is boring to look at blogs without pictures and maybe I will post one of my growing belly! Who knows!!!

THANKSGIVING!!!

We are doing great here at my parents house and definitely enjoying Thanksgiving!  I just can't believe how fast the holidays fly by!  I wish that they would last longer!

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was wonderful we love you all! 

KEPT YOU WAITING!

Sorry that this has taken me so long to tell everyone! But most of you were right! It is a BOY!! Sorry that I don't have pictures for some reason the pictures on my CD they gave me won't come up on my computer here! Hopefully I can figure it out so you can see the cute boy!
We are so excited and now we can't wait for the arrival of him! It was funny though because he is growing so fast that he is a week ahead of schedule so that pushed my due date to March 19 instead of the 26! But who knows he will come when he wants too!
I still haven't taken a picture of my belly but I promise I will it is definately there! But I love it and love feeling him move!

EXCITING DAY!!!

Today we get to find out the gender of the baby and I am so excited! This day couldn't have gotten here any faster!! I will post pictures of the baby soon so that you can see the cute little thing!!! And Ash for you I will post a picture of my belly bump!:) It is definately there! Sometimes I think that I am showing a lot for just being 20 weeks pregnant! But oh well, I love it! And Ryan was able to feel the baby for the first time on Sunday night and he also felt it last night! That was an exciting time for us! Our doctor's appointment is at 4:00 today, hopefully that day will keep going by really fast for us!!! I can't wait to see the baby again too, the last time I saw it, I was only 11 weeks along, so I really can't wait to see the baby. The only thing that I am worried about is that I have to go with a full bladder for some reason and I just don't want to have an accident!:) Oh I can't wait! Let me know what all of your guesses are!

FUNNY DOG!!!

We have been watching my parents dog Tawny for a little while now, while they went to Hawaii! She has really been entertaining for us! She loves to chase cars and be outside! Well yesterday Ryan and I were in the kitchen and I asked him if he knew where Tawny was, because I hadn't heard her move around for awhile and he saw her in the office looking out the glass doors at the cars outside! It was so funny how she pushed the curtains aside to get a better look at everything, I just had to take her picture! Mom and Dad don't you miss her so much?! She really is a sweetie to have around! I really like having her company I know that when she leaves I will miss her! I don't know about Ryan though:)

SNOW!!!

Yesturday we got SNOW! I know that more people got snow but I really was excited about it. So I made Ryan take my sister and me on a little drive up the canyon to see the snow! I loved it! And then when we got home from our little drive we had hot chocolate and sat and watched the snow fall! It was lovely! I also took pictures of the house with snow on the rooftop! I think that snow is so pretty, and I have been ready for it to cool down for awhile now, so this was really fun for me!

Been Awhile!

Well, I guess a lot has happened since my last post. We moved into the house finally and we are getting settled down a little bit. I am moving pretty slow though with unpacking, I haven't been really motivated to do much lately. But we are so glad to finally be in a house after living in an apartment for three years! I know that isn't that long but it is really nice to have our own space! I will take pictures after we get more moved in so you can see it!

WELL.......

Okay, I finally decided to tell everybody! WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!! I found out in July that I was pregnant and we have had our first doctor's appointment two weeks ago and we can't wait for our baby to come! I am due March 26 so I am 13 weeks along right now!

It was so much fun to see the baby in the ultrasound! I was 11 weeks when we went so we could see the little arms and legs moving all around! It is so much fun!

But I decided that since I gave the announcement at work last week that now I can tell everybody! We are just so excited to finally get started with our little family!!

I have been feeling okay lately but I tell you what the first trimester is kind of tough, but I know that it is well worth it!

Now that picture with the words Worlds Greates Dad! That is how we told his parents that we were expecting! He wore it after he finished the Top of Utah half marathon! It was so much fun! It took his mom and dad both a little bit to realize what we were telling them but we had so much fun telling people about this great news!

FUN TIME CAMPING!!!

These are some pictures of a camping trip that Ryan and I went on with his parents a couple of weekends ago. This is a gorgeous campground. I think that this is probably my favorite out of them all! It is called WillowFlatts, just before Preston, so it is only about 45 minutes away from us! We are actually going to go there again tomorrow night with some of our friends! I am so excited because I know that there is going to be so much color there! When we went just a couple of weeks ago it was still pretty green but I think that now it is going to have pink, orange, red, purple, and all of those fall colors. I love this time of year it is the best time ever! I wish that it would stay fall a lot longer than it does! But I will soak it up as much as I can this year!

More Trek Pictures!!

I was going through more pictures and I found these ones from our trek. This was on our way home from Martin's Cove. It is about a 7 hour drive from there back to Logan. And imagine driving all that way on a school bus! Well on our way home we were the last bus in line and we had just made it to the Bear Lake over look, and the bus over heated! We were only an hour away from home!! So we had to stop and let the bus cool down for about 20 minutes I think, but the kids all had a good attitude about it, and at least it was a pretty spot to stop at! You can see in one of these pictures that Ryan had to get his hands in it to fix the situation! He is the best fix it guy!:) I just thought these pictures were funny and had to post them!

More HIKING and Other Things!

These are still pictures of Ryan and I hiking in the canyon! We were able to enjoy some hiking this summer. This is the great thing about Logan is that you are so close to everything! I love that! Can you spot me in one of these pictures in the distance. This was the best hike ever! It was only 4 miles round trip but it takes you to the top of the canyon and you can see everything. I want to go again now because it would be pretty to see all of the fall colors.

The other pictures are of a trek that we went on this summer. We were asked to be a Ma and Pa, and it was the neatest experience ever! We had the greatest kids too. We went up to Martins Cove and to Rocky Ridge. One day we hiked 6 miles, and the other day we hiked I think 4 miles, and the last day we hiked 14 miles. It was an awesome time and to share it with Ryan was even better. I can see why they only do it every four years. It was hard, but extremely worth it!!

I will keep trying to update things. More exciting things too come soon!!

Weird

Okay just ignore that last post for some reason it worked with the picture after I published the post, but while I was creating it I couldn't get the picture to work, so I guess now I can get to work on catching up with things.

These are just a couple of pictures that we have from a hike we went on here in Logan Canyon! I will hopefully get more things up!

OH MAN!!!!

Okay, I got the advice from Bekah, and I tried it but this is what always happens when i try to post a picture. This is starting to get frustrating because it isn't much fun to read a blog without pictures. Stacey I am coming over to your house for some help!:) I don't know why I can't do it. I bet my computer here at work is just being retarted! Hopefully I can figure it out soon!

HELP!!

I've been trying for the past few days to catch up on my blog but for some reason I haven't been able to post any pictures. If someone could tell me what to do that would be great! Then I can try and catch up on my blog. We are still alive!!!!

WOW!!!!

Okay so I really am horrible at posting on this thing! We are still here but I just don't get around to posting anything.
Well a lot has happened since that bread post. We actually have been able to be successful in making bread. We made a great batch last week! And we were really excited!
Just yesterday I went rock climbing with my friend from work and her husband. They are like professional rock climbers and I was pretty nervous because I have only done it maybe once and I have repelled! But repeling and rock climbing are completely different. I forgot to bring my camera to take pictures! It was really fun! I climbed in the same place twice! We are going to go again really soon! We went up Logan Canyon to one of the rock walls there! After we were done they said for your first time sometimes it is easier to go to a rock climbing gym because you know were to grab things and put your feet but on these rock walls out here you have to really think where to put your feet! So I guess I could say that I am professional now too! JK! We will take the camera next time and hopefully get some good shots!! I think that I could really get addicted to rock climbing! I just have to learn to be brave! Hopefully I won't go so long to post my next thing! And I will try to put pictures on it!

BREAD!!!

So Ryan and I got a new kitchen aid mixer from my parents for Christmas and they got it for us because we both love home made bread. My parents have been making bread for a really long time and I thought that I could make it just as good as them, because I used to make it when I lived at home and it always turned out right. Yeah well it is not that easy when you don't have your parents there helping you every step of the way.
I get so frustrated because I think that I am doing it right and that it will turn out how my dad's bread turns out but no it came out flat. HELP!!!! Dad what am I doing wrong???!! Yesterday Ryan and I ventured to make it again and I thought okay I can do this, and I let it raise for awhile and then cooked it. I only it had it in the oven for about 20 minutes and I opened it and it was flatter than flat. Ryan was trying to make me feel better and he said you could open your own shop and call it the square bread! Oh it is so FRUSTRATING!! Dad and Mom I need you two to come down here and help me out! I love homemade bread and want some that will look pretty!
I will post some pictures of my bread tomorrow just so you can see it! I will get it down maybe in twenty years or so!:)

Keeping Up!

Sometimes it is really hard for me to know what to write in our blog. So I guess I will just tell everyone what we have been up to for the past few weeks.
Right now Ryan and I are training for a half marathon and a full marathon. Ryan is running the full marathon and I am running the half on June 14 in Rexburg! I am excited for it but a little bit nervous at the same time. I have heard that this is a pretty tough one so hopefully we will both be okay!
Just last Saturday we ran our first race for this year! It was the Shamrock Shuffle that is a 5k run! I didn't do as well as I would have liked to do! Ryan won the race he ran it in 17:59! He is an amazing runner! He got a gift certificate to Al's Sports store here in Logan and I won some socks! Yeah! We did it with a couple of our friends Dan and Staci, and they won a cooler and a free movie rental. So that was fun that we all won something!
We have another 5k on March 29! It is fun because here in Logan there is always a race every month! We are going to try and do as many as we can!
Ryan has really got me addicted to running! It really does make you feel good when you can just go outside and run!

MORE PICS!

So I was finally able to post the rest of the pictures from Mesa Falls. Now you can see the beauty of the falls. They were incredible. It was a little bit scary when we got to the upper falls because the snow was so hight that the railing that usually protects you was covered in snow so you were on top of the railing and it was really slippery so you had to be really careful. But I was glad that we finally made it there to see the amazing scenery! I really did have a good time I just wanted to complain to Ryan!

Mesa Falls

Okay so Ryan and I went Cross Country Skiing again last weekend. We went up to Idaho with Karina and we had a crazy idea of going xc skiing to Mesa Falls. It is in Ashton. So we rented our skiis again and off we went! It is kind of a funny story because when Ryan was telling me about it he said that he just remembered it being only 3 miles round trip. So we woke up on Saturday and ate some breakfast and took off. We didn't take any food with us because we thought that it would be a quick trip, we did take some water though so that was a good thing. Well we got there and started off on our trip. Well we got to the first falls and I thought that that was it and Ryan told me well we have another 3 miles to go. We had already gone 1.5 miles. Well I threw a fit I guess you could call it. But I didn't want to go all this way and not make it to the destination Ryan wanted to show me. So we went the whole way! About a mile of the trip was down hill so we were down hill skiing for that part, but you have to remember on our way back we had to ski up hill, yeah that wasn't too much fun! But the view was amazing!! We have pictures of that but for some reason I couldn't get them to post. I don't know why. But the funny part of this was that Ryan told me that it was only 3 miles round trip and it was really 8 miles!! But it was fun and it was fun to be with Ryan for the whole day!! I loved that part! (Even though I was complaining because I was cold and hungry)! But I still do love cross country skiing! It is a good sport to do in the winter to get you outside! Everyone should at least give it a try! It can be really relaxing!!

XC SKIING!!!

So we decided to try out cross country skiing!! This was my first time doing, Ryan has done it before and he has been trying to talk me into it for a long time. Finally I agreed to try. Now I am addicted to it. I love it. There are some fun trails here in Logan that we have found.
First we went to Sherwood Hills up Sardine Canyon. They were suppose to have groomed XC Skiing trails but they weren't. We made out own trails. I really liked it. The snow was so deep.
It was a great workout. I thought that I would be really cold but instead I was really hot!
Karina came with us too. It was her first time trying it out. It was so funny because her and I kept falling down. Ryan had to help us out a few times. But we all had a good laugh each time we fell.
For anyone who wants to try cross country skiing I recommend it to anyone who wants to try it. It is fun because it gets you outside in the winter time. Especially when you feel like you are always stuck inside! We had a great time. I will have to figure out how to post a video of Karina and I going down hill after we skied up the hill! It is pretty funny!

WARM WEATHER!

I was going through some pictures on my computer and I came across these ones of the summer time! I can't wait for warm weather. This morning when I was driving to work it was

-9 degrees outside! I couldn't believe it. I want it to be warm weather so we can wear our shorts and flip flops again! I probably will complain when it is too hot! But I want summer to come soon! I miss all of the colors and fun things you can do outside! Last night we walked to our friends house and by the time we were going home it was 5 degrees outside. They decided to drive us home because it was so cold. When we went to get in their car the car doors were almost frozen shut! I couldn't believe it! Well I just had to complain a little bit because it is so cold today!

WARM WEATHER!

I was going through some pictures on my computer and I found pictures from the summer time! I can't wait for the warm weather when we can wear shorts again and flip flops.

This morning when I was driving to work it said that is was -9 outside! I am so sick of always feeling cold! I'm sure that when it is 100 degrees outside I will be saying I am sick of it being so hot. But I just feel like winter lasts so long! Last night we walked to our friends house and they don't live that far from us, but by the time we were going home it was 5 degrees outside and they decided to drive us home because it was so cold. The doors on their car were almost frozen shut. I think that I can make it another month or so. I just want to see the green and colors again, sooner than later! Well sorry that I complained I'm just being impatient right now with wanting warm weather again!
