Picture of baby Jace!

So here it is! A cute picture of the baby weighing in at 1.4 lbs! I think he is going to look like Bentley! He has the same little nose, cheeks and lips that Bentley had :) So cute.. I couldn't get the picture to scan and upload right, so I took a picture of the picture and now it looks funny.. I am obviously not a computer genious! Anyways, the targeted exam went great. She said she didn't see anything wrong and his heart and brain looked great. She also pointed out how relaxed he was and said that was a good sign he is getting all the nutrients he needs. He kicked his little legs a lot and pulled some pretty funny faces! It is so crazy to be able to see your little one INSIDE your tummy! It was really a neat experience. And a relief to see that everything is progressing the way it should be..so far. Being pregnant seems to make me a worry wart! Is that normal? Anyways, hope you enjoy the picture!

P.s..Do you like it spelt Jace or Jayce?

Potty?...

Yesterday I was cleaning my kitchen floors and Bentley kept walking on them and getting his little feet prints all over, so I told him to go upstairs and get ready for his nap. So he crawls up the stairs and I finish up the floor and walk up the stairs and into the bathroom and THIS is what I see!! I said, "BENTLEY! What are you doing?!" Benny: "I Paw-E" meaning potty :) First of all, he just barely learned this word and what it meant this week and he just barElY turned two, so I haven't even thOuGht about potty training! He has never shown any kind of interest at all! So now what do I do??.. The rest of the day I tried to get him to tell me if he had to go potty..but he didn't?..Hmm..I don't know what this means! I guess I will just follow his lead. At least he thinks it is "cool" to go on the potty. (nothing came out by the way!) Maybe this was a one time deal..or maybe he will start wanting to go on the potty?..who knows!.. A potty trained two year old would be nice when the baby comes..Ü

Our Fun Filled Weekend!

This was the most fun weekend I've had in a LoNg time! Dallin had Friday off and usually when he has Friday's off, he is still doing work, sOmEwhEre!..He just always seems to be busy. But we filled this weekend with FuN! :) It started off with seeing "The Dark Knight" Friday at noon! It was sooo good! We LOVED it!!! We are both pretty crazy about Batman, Dallin especially! I love the Megaplex at the Junction, it is so fun to take your lunch in and eat it right there in the theatre! I am sure all the people next to us didn't appreciate the smell of two personal pizzas though... :) Then we picked up Bentley who was with my mom and headed to my OB appt. With the busy day we were having, I forgot to bring my DVD so they can put the ultra sound on there..and little baby Jace was WAY to wiggly and folded up in a ball to get a good picture :( But my Dr. said everything looked good and he is 2 oz shy of a WHOLE POUND! He is getting so big :) But still doesn't really explain the TEN pounds I've gained...hmm.. I have my targeted exam on the 29th, where they check everything out in 4D! So hopefully I will have a good picture to post of baby Jace then. :)
After the Dr. Appt. We then headed to Lagoon! Ye Haw! Ü Dallin's friend got some tickets through work and invited us, it was SOO much fun! They had a cook out and everything! We took Bentley on Rattle Snake Rapids for the first time, he got SOAKED and loved every minute of it! After a long day, we were ready to go home and get some sleep! And in the morning, I woke up to Dallin's FaMoUs crepes and homemade caramel syrup! :) Isn't my hubby sweet?! After a yummy breakfast we had to run some errands, one that included getting a new bed for Bentley! He is in the toddler bed version of his crib right now which works perfectly, but when the baby comes, he will be in the crib! So we are going to start working on Bentley's nEw room! I will probably paint sometime before July is over and then we can start setting things up! We are doing a TRUCK room! It will be so fun, I am excited. On the side is a picture of his bed, but it is RED, so much cuter :)

Around 2:00 we decided to drive up to Wellsville near Logan to visit some friends, Adam, Brooke and their 1 year old Jake. We had a great time. The boys fished, while we camped out on the side of the river and played. We decided to go eat dinner at Pier 49 Pizza.. (We had a lOT of pizza this weekend..kinda makes me sick to think about it..) But we had the bbq chicken pizza which I LOVE, can't turn that down :) After dinner, the boys made a fire and we hung out and made S'mores! (I really want a fire pit now!) They are so fun! Bentley fell asleep on the chair, and after about 30 minutes, he yells out (in his sleep) TRUCK! That kid is ObSeSsEd with trucks..hence the truck room :) He will really be dreaming about them then! It was so funny, we all laughed, it reminded me of Dallin TOTALLY! He will talk about his snowmobile in the middle of his sleep!..haha..Funny boys :) Well, sorry about the crazy long post!! Thanks for reading!

Cherry Hill

Yesterday we had some fUn in the SuN! :) My mom got some free tickets to Cherry Hill, so we decided to try it out! We asked Katie, Jackson, Elise and Aiva to come with! We had a lot of fun, it is a great waterpark for little kids. Even with all the slides, water and kids, Bentley still wanted to push around the stroller I brought him in..? I had to convince him (after a few temper tantrums) that he wAnTeD to play in the water! For some reason, he has been so obsessed with pushing around that stroller eVeRyWhEre, and when it is time to put it away..bring on the screaming and tears.. He is such a strong willed little guy..He is definitly teaching me to have patience! Something I wasn't blessed with! Despite his little outburts, we had a GrEaT time in the water! It is so rewarding to watch your little one have fun :) I think Katie, Elise and I had the most fun though, taking turns going down the big tube slide! You get drenched, it was awesome! I forgot how much I LOVE waterparks! I think I need to go with JUST friends..and NO kids for once! :) A waterpark trip without a fussy 2 year old?! Do those exist? I should find out :)

Saturday, July 12th...

So Saturday morning, we all woke up with not a whole lot on our agenda (for once!) So we decided to round up some of the fam for a movie! :) We went and saw "Journey to the Center of the Earth" IN 3D! It was pretty entertaining and a good movie for the kids! If you see this movie, you HAVE to see it in 3D at the Megaplex! Otherwise...maybe not worth it.. :)

It was the last weekend that Veva was going to be here because they take the big move to AZ on Friday. :( So after the movie, Dallin's mom, Veva and I did some sweet pedicures for each other! :) Good times..we hope to see you sOon Veva!!

I had to steal this pic from Veva's blog..so thanks Vev :)

It's a love/hate thing...

So my mom and I decided to go see a few of the Parade of Homes; which I love because it is so fun to see all the awesome new ideas they put in homes..but then on the other hand..can we say...JeAlOuS? :) Ok..I know I am bad..but I can't help but feel a LiTtLe jealous when I walk through these MaNsIoNs... AnD think of Dallin's comment he said the other day when we were watching some show about "Amazing Waterfront Homes" He says jokingly, "Who says money can't buy happiness?!" Haha :) But in all reality..WhO needs 11,000 sq. ft??


I could handle this amazing shower though..the picture doesn't do it justice. The shower is bigger than my WhOlE bathroom. The baby bump is DeFinItLY starting to show!..















Then we headed up to Eden to see a pretty cool house, and ended up finding a pretty cool spot to take a few pictures.

















Make a WiSh.. :)

Fly Fishing!

So Dallin had this past week off and he took me fly fishing! Last year, he got me everything I need to be a flyfisherWOMAN. :) Dallin LOVES flyfishing and asked if I wanted to try it..I said "Sure" so what does he do?..He goes out and buys EVERYTHING for me! I'm thinking.."umm..what if I don't like this???..." He took me a couple times last year, but I never caught anything.. This was my first time this year and casting seems to come really natural for me. Dallin says that isn't normal and casting takes a long time to perfect..so I am pretty happy! I caught my first fish! and a couple more after that!..I had a really, really big one on, but I got so excited that I pulled the line tight and he got off..I learned that your suppose to let them play with it and wear the fish out before you can reel it in...oops.. Bentley hung out with daddy in a kid backpack..It was pretty fun for him, he really liked to see the fish up close and personal and watch them swim back into the water. It was a really fun family outing! I am glad that Dallin and I have a hobby to do together. :)

Dallin took this short little clip on his phone without me knowing..but it is the only "picture" of our fishing trip..I had dead batteries in my camera. :(

Family Pictures

Brooke posted some of her fav family pics she took of us on her blog and I got permission to post a few on mine. I am SO proud of these! I couldn't be more happy with them. :) Thank you Brooke!



(P.s..It's not my garment showing, it's a white shade shirt:)






















Maybe he was trying to flirt with Brook by giving her a flower :) Who wouldn't flirt with her?! ;)

Bentley is saying, "eewww....." :)

Happy Anniversary to us! :)

Dallin and I had our ThReE year anniversary yesterday! (June 24th) Crazy, huh?! Dallin got to go to work :( and I got to go to Laguna Beach with the Benster, Cam and her kids. :) It was way fun! Most the time we just floated around the lazy river with Benny on my lap. Who knew he would sit there on my lap for two hours and actually enjoy it?! It was great and very relaxing. Then we spent a little bit of time at the kid area with the slides. I decided to go down the slide with Bentley, when we hit the bottom, he was giggling and I was about to cry...last Saturday, when we took our family pics, I was getting ready in a hurry, we had to leave at 7:15! Whoo..that's early..anyways..We were getting ready to leave and I slipped on my new, REALLY TALL wedge shoes and started running down the stairs (without buckling them) So of course, I slipped and fell RIGHT on my tail bone!! Oh my gosh, it hurt so bad and STILL does!!! I really think I did something to it, but I hear there is nothing they can do anyways..just gotta stick it out.. and stay away from the those SLIDES! After a few hours at Laguna Beach, we loaded up and headed home. When Dallin got home we went to Outback and had some yummy dinner and then headed to the Tinseltown to see Iron Man! It was REALLY GOOD!! It was a much needed ALONE date for the both of us. :) I LOVE YOU DALLIN, HAPPY THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!
