It's a.....

.....BOY! Our little guy wasn't shy at all and gave us a good look at him! Before the nurse even said anything, I could tell it was a boy. Crazy! We thought for sure it was going to be a girl, so we were a little surprised, but very excited! Let the shopping and the name list begin! (I'll post pics after we scan them). Eeee! I'm so excited!

Kickin'

Last night the baby was kicking like crazy! I've started to feel little kicks the last 10 days or so, but nothing like this! So I told Londyn to hurry and come feel the baby kicking. She put her hand on my tummy, and her face when she felt it kick was priceless!

Valentine's day

We started V-day off with some yummy heart-shaped (and one bear) french toast! It was fun for it to be on a Saturday so we could spend the whole day with Cody.

Next, Cody and Londyn got to work on the 20 baked potatoes we had to make for dinner. She would "try" to poke them and then throw them into the pile of ones Cody had already poked. This is him trying to find Londyn's potatoes so he could really poke them! What a good little helper she was!! And dinner turned out AWESOME!!! Thanks to everyone who helped, it all turned out great! Any ideas of what to do with 11 left-over baked potatoes?! Well, I think I am down to 8!

Last weeked...

Last weekend my parents flew up from Louisiana and my brother Caleb came up from St. George. We had a fun jam-packed weekend!
- We went to the Boat Show Thursday night.
- Friday was my Dad's birthday so we went to dinner at El Matador and rented a movie.
- Saturday we went to park city and shopped and went to the tubbing park. My mom and I didn't tube, but Cody, Londyn, my dad and Caleb did. It was snowing like crazy and it was an icky wet snow, but that didn't stop them. They did it for 2 hours and Londyn still wanted to go more. She's such a dare devil.
- Saturday night we did dinner at Spaghetti Factory and a movie.
- Sunday: church and temple square.

Then they left on Monday and it was back to life = ( It was fun while it lasted!

(oh, did anyone else see that awesone rainbow on Saturday afternoon? It was so pretty.)

Playroom

We finished the playroom upstairs...mostly. It's not really decorated yet, but we're going to do a safari animal theme.

These are the shelves that took FOREVER to make. But now they divide the loft and give Londyn a space to play! Good job Cody!

Skiing w/ Londyn

2 weeks ago we had a family ski day w/ Cody's family. It was a beautiful day for skiing; sunny and not too cold! It was Londyn's 3rd time up this season. The 1st time she took a couple or runs, but stayed between Cody's legs w/ him holding her arms the whole time. The 2nd time she played in a snow bank for a hour and ate snow. But this time Cody let go of her and she automatically put her arms out for balance and skiied on her own. It was so cute...until she fell and hit her head. Then she was done.

Of course we had to hit the hot tub after lunch. This is my subdued Londyn after 3 hrs of skiing. After hottubbing she fell asleep from 5:30-8:30...woke up for about 15 minutes on the drive home, and then went to bed at 9:30 and slept all night. Guess we wore her out!

Hooray.....

.....baby # 2 is on the way! I am almost 12 weeks and the due date is August 2nd. Almost 3 years to the day from miss Londyn. We were hoping for a little one a little sooner, but are thrilled that it's finally happened! I've heard the heartbeat twice, and so far things are good. I have a new dr. because our insurance changed when Cody got his new job, but I like him a lot.

Quick Update

Well, I thought I'd write a little about our Christmas vacation in Louisiana. We are here at my parents house and have been doing lots if fun things, you know, typical things you'd associate with Christmas vacation like bike riding, playing in the yard, weeding the garden, etc....! The weather has been pretty mild. Except the 1st 2 days; it was freezing. But it quickly warmed up.
We also got to see my cute new nephew Austin. He was born on December 15th is is soo cute! Londyn has also enjoyed playing with his big sister Ryanne- they are only 5 months apart.
We've been eating lots of good food and trying to get in as much cajun food before we go home. Hopefully I will get some crawfish before I go home!
Cody unfortunately had to go back already. We will be back on Saturday. Too bad not enough time to go to the Sugar Bowl, but my dad and brother will be there.
Well, I have a very tired little girl that I need to put to bed. See you all soon!

Early Christmas

Since we are leaving for Louisiana on Sunday we decided to do Christmas early with Londyn.

Her big present was a toy kitchen, which she LOVES. It took about 4 hours to put it together, but it was worth it! Yesterday I said, "let's go take a little nap." And she said, "No, I go play with my kitchen for a couple bits!" Yeah, she never took a nap.

Sporting her new apron from Grammy.

Unloading the stocking. It was so fun to see her excitement as she opened each present. I'm grateful that we were able to give her a Chrsitmas. We truely feel blessed! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

Gobble Gobble, Happy Thanksgiving!

This is Londyn and her friend Mylee after they
made their turkey hats a couple days before
Thanksgiving.

Getting ready for bed.

So lately Londyn has wanted to rough house with Cody before going to bed. It consists of him laying on our bed and her standing on him or doing cannon balls on his back ( I need a video of that because it's hilarious!) Here's the proof:

Two of a kind!

This is my little brother Caleb. He came up for the weekend to go to the big game (GO UTES!!!!!)

I'm pretty sure that he and Londyn were cut from the same mold. They are both hyper and silly and could watch funny cat videos on youtube alllllll day. They did this all morning and were laughing their heads off. It was pretty funny.

And then a real cat showed up. Gromit, the neighbor's cat, who thinks our house is his 2nd home.

Cute Hat!

On Cody's last business trip he went to Toronto and he brought back this really cute hat for Londyn. And she actually wears it!

This is her wearing it in the backyard with her hat on and her scriptures. We have a mini Book of Mormon and Londyn has claimed it as hers. Looks like she is pondering in this pic!

My cuties!

Another project

We've started another project since we FINALLY finished the floor in the entry way and 1/2 bath. Next is the play room. Right now it's just a big tan room with a big tan couch and a bunch of toys just thrown in there. Stay tuned to watch the transformation! (hopefully it won't take too long!)

Catch up

This is our little "princess" in her Halloween costume, or "costcume" as Londyn calls it! She was Cinderella, and LOVED her costume, she would have worn it everyday if I had let her. I am bummed though, because we never got a really good picture of her in it.

This is a picture of the snow that fell on Election Day. I didn't really want to go out in it, but I did my duty and cast my vote. (Eventhough I'm really scared about the way things are turning out with the polls.) It was fun to take Londyn voting with me though. When she saw the voting screen she said, "I want the elephant." I said, "That's for John McCain." And she said, "oh, I like John McCang!"

And this is Miss Independant. She pulled the stool over to the counter, reached up and got the strawberry milk powder, grabbed my cup that was right there, asked for a pink spoon and proceeded to make her own straberry milk! I was pretty impressed!

Pausing to make sure it tasted ok.
