Week 19!

So I am a few days late posting again but I've been busy! I started my last semester of school on Monday and so far it is going ok although I tend to pay more attention to the baby kicking me than to the teachers. Oops! I better work on that :) I am still feeling great! Doctor's appointment tomorrow and then we find out what we are having on Tuesday! Yahoo! Any guesses?

Week 18 (Plus a Few Days)

So this is really an 18 week plus a few days picture because we slacked of on taking the picture on time! But we are 18 weeks along and things are going great. Like it says in the picture, I am really loving gushers and other kid food like fruit by the foot and sour patch watermelon. Also I am almost 100% positive that I have been feeling the baby move for a week or two and the past few days it has been happening quite a lot! For me it feels like a fish in a really small container and it is weird but I am loving it :) I think the baby is doing flips and somersaults or something in there. Less than two weeks til we know what we are having!

Trip to Arizona

It's pretty sad that we spent a week visiting Marc's mom in Arizona and these are the only pictures I have to show for it. I tend to be pretty hit and miss with my picture taking and unfortunately this trip I did a terrible job. But our trip was great! We spent time with his siblings and nieces and nephews who live there. We also got to spend time with his Grandma and Grandpa. For us it was a pretty relaxing vacation. We didn't have many plans and instead wanted to just take it easy. We did go shooting with his brother Brian and his sister-in-law Erin. We had lots of family meals and drove to Snowflake to spend some time with Brian and Amanda and their kids. Near the end of our trip we went down to Phoenix to see Marc's sister Tricia who I hadn't been able to meet yet. All of my pictures are from that trip to Phoenix where we ate lunch with her. It was great to see her and spend some time with her. Our trip was really great and we were sad to go. Probably the next time we visit them we will be bringing a baby with us! Love you all :)

Tricia and her two boys! I tried to get them to smile but it didn't really work. Someday I'll catch them looking happy :)

Love and miss all of you guys!

24th of July and Thomas Holman's Birthday!

We made two trips out to Logan this summer. We went out for the 24th of July and we went to the parade with Shayle, James, Porter, Thomas, Ryan, Larissa, and James' brother Jason and his wife Casi. We had a lot of fun even though it was hot outside. We also stayed and watched the fireworks before going back to Provo. It was so fun to spend time with them and see Porter getting lots of candy!





I really wish I remembered what Porter was saying in this picture. He looks like he is getting after someone! So cute :) Love that kid.



Porter LOVED the candy. Every time they threw some out he yelled CANDY! and ran to get some. He had a blast!

He also got a frisbee and loved that.

Thomas tried to help get candy too.

Porter then got a popsicle.

He was still a really dedicated candy grabber, even with the popsicle in his mouth.

Look at all of my candy Maga! :)

Then we made another trip up a few weeks later for Thomas's 1st birthday. Porter entertained himself by riding his new bike! He is really good at it.

Uncle Marc and Thomas!

Marc also helped push Thomas on Porter's bike.

Happy boy!


Porter got a bucket and shovel from his Grandparents and he was a big fan of them! He wore it like a hat and as soon as we walked in the door of their house he rushed to the backyard to play with it in the sandbox.

Porter was the gift giver. He handed Thomas all the gifts and then proceeded to open them for him :) This is a gift that Porter picked out for Thomas.


It looks just like a toy dog that my Grandma had that both Porter and Thomas loved playing with.



Here is the gift from Maga and Paga that we brought out for Thomas.


It was a big hit with the boys. Porter thinks it is pretty great.

The gift from Marc and me :) It was a cute little toy lantern.


Thomas got a new tricycle from his mom and dad!


Here is the cute Curious George cake that Shayle made for Thomas. She worked really hard on it and it looked awesome! Good work Shayle :)

Week 16

I've been meaning to start taking pictures like this for a while but I haven't taken any until today! Inspired by my friend Meghan Hess (who is due in the week before I am!), here are my pictures for week 16!
