Boise and Charlotte trip

At the end of June Paul, Maddox and I made a trip to Boise. We got there late Wednesday night so Paul and my dad could fly to Charlotte, NC, early Thursday morning, for business. Maddox and I got the chance to stay in Boise and visit with family for about 4 1/2 days until Paul flew back Monday afternoon. It was a great chance to relax and just enjoy ourselves. It was tons of fun. We got to go watch Enoch play rugby and the ladies(My mom, Lyndsay, and I) got to go to the movie The Proposal, while Enoch and Jess babysat. My mom also helped me out a ton with Maddox so I could relax. It was nice! I had a great time, but I sure did miss my hubby and so did Maddox!! I couldn't wait for him to get home and when he did I started to cry. Wow these prego hormones are crazy. Here are some random pics from the trip.

Father's Day

Father's Day this year was very relaxing. In fact it was pretty much like any other Sunday, but this Sunday Paul and I were ask to substitute teach the Sunbeam class and it was Maddox's first time in the Nursery. We were quite nervous since the kids are quite young and energetic and Paul had never been to Primary before, being that he is a convert. We did bring candy, though, just in case we would have to bribe the kids. Everything went great and Paul and I enjoyed ourselves a lot! Maddox also did very well in the nursery and had no problems. It definitely made it a Father's Day to remember!

Update

(I started this blog more for myself, almost like a journal. I have been terrible at posting what is going on with us right now. We have been quite busy and I really just don't have the desire to do it, but I'm making myself! So I will try to post once a day until I am caught up.)

Around the end of June Maddox and I made our way down to Utah to attend one of my great childhood friends, Kadie Kinney's, baby shower. Kadie is expecting her first child, a girl, in August. The baby shower was beautiful and stunning! The food was delicious and we had a fun time playing bingo, even though I didn't win. It was great to see her and her family!! Maddox and I had a great time and wish that we could of stayed and visited longer, but when it was over we had to leave and make the drive back home.

Thanks My Love!!!

Last week I celebrated my 26th birthday. Yuck! I would have rather not celebrated it and just let it pass by like any other day, but my love had different plans. Paul got the day off and early in the afternoon my sister, her boyfriend, my husband, Maddox, and I, made our way to Lava to go swimming. It was very nice. They have some new slides that go across the roadway which Paul and Freddi liked. It was lots of fun, but eventually the storm clouds rolled in and it started to rain. We went to the indoor pool while it finished raining and afterward made our way back outside to eat some food. After that it wasn't raining anymore but it was cloudy and cold, so we decided to make our way back home. Later that evening after everyone had cleaned up Rachael and Freddi took Paul, Maddox, and I out to eat at Red Lobster. It was very good and lots of fun. After that we took Maddox back to our house so his grandparents could watch him while Rachael, Freddi, Paul, and I went to the Angels and Demons movie. (The movie was a lot better than I thought it was going to be!) It was a wonderful birthday and I enjoyed the opportunity to just be with my family the whole day!! Thanks Paul for going out of your way to make it a wonderful day for me. I love you so much!!

And The Ultrasound Says...

Today was our doctor appointment to get the ultrasound done. I was so nervous and anxious. Maddox didn't want anything to do with it, he just wanted to play. But we found out that we are having ...


Here are some photos from the ultrasound. We couldn't get a very good profile of her because she didn't want to cooperate. Everything is healthy and normal and we are excited for her to join our family!!

16 Weeks

Here are some picks of me at 16 weeks. I swear with my first pregnancy it took forever for me to start showing. With this pregnancy, however it came a lot faster. The doctor said that it was normal and that you start showing sooner once you've already had a baby. PHEW!! And I thought I was just getting fat!
