Babystyle Promotion

I just got this message and wanted to share it. I love Babystyle. I often buy Gavin cool tees, shoes, etc. from their website, when they are having a sale (which is almost all of the time). I purchased several clothing items from the store when I was preggers the last time and they were some of my favorite maternity items. Just enter the coupon code FAMILY20 during checkout. Act fast! We only have 4 days.

Looking Back

Look what I found... a photo from 2005 when I was preggers with Gavin. This photo was taken at my California baby shower when I was 7+ months pregnant. Get a load of the belly. This is what I have to look forward to in the next 5 months.

Our BIG News!

Our family of 3 is about to become 4. I am 10 weeks pregnant and due on May 17th (Gavin's birthday is May 16th). I went to my 1st doctor's appointment on Thursday and all looks well. My heart melted when I heard the heartbeat. So now we are ready to announce our exciting news. Shh... don't tell Gavin. He is adamant right now about NOT having a baby brother or sister. We hope to change that in the coming months. We figure we have time since I'm not showing yet.

Snowbird

Yesterday we went up to Snowbird (a local ski resort) to ride the tram and hike around. Riding the tram was an awesome experience. Gavin loved it and the views were amazing. However, when we got to the top of the mountain (elevation 11,000 ft.) there was quite a bit of snow and it was 40 degrees! Needless to say, we didn't hike around too much, but Gavin and Tony did have a snowball fight. We played around at the resort a bit and ate lunch at one of their restaurants and then returned home to the valley where the temperature was a warm 75 degrees.

Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!

I was finally able to capture a photo of Gavin in his Halloween costume. We got it about a month ago and he has been wearing it and playing in it a lot, but hasn't posed for a picture until now. In case you weren't sure, he is Buzz Lightyear the space ranger from Disney's "Toy Story".

A Great Day for the Zoo!

I was so excited to have Thursday and Friday off of work (for UEA). We took advantage of having a couple of week days to do as we please and did several fun activities; one of which was going to the zoo. It was the perfect day for it ,weather wise, ... clear blue skies and 70 degrees. We joined our friends Tierney and her 2 children, Robbie and Berkley (pictured above) and Kim and her son, Jack (never caught a picture of Kim). I also didn't get any pictures of the animals, but that's OK because I think the kids had more fun playing together than looking at the animals anyway. I know I enjoyed chatting with Tierney and Kim the most:)

My New Do!

Every fall I seem to get the urge for a new hair style. This fall was no exception. My stylist cut off about 7 inches. If I had only been thinking ahead, I may have been able to donate my hair to Locks of Love. Anyhow, I'm kinda diggin' it. What do you think?

Halloween PJs

This pic is for you, Mom and Dad. Thanks for Gavin's new Halloween pjs. He loves that the ghosts glow in the dark. Stay tuned for a picture of Gavin's Buzz Lightyear costume...

Tony's Newfound Obsession

Tony has a new hobby. Ever since he invested in a good mountain bike this summer he's been biking a ton (in fact, he's on a ride right now). We're lucky to have so many great trails so close to our house. I hope to take up the sport in the near future. I got a new bike this summer too. I just need a little more motivation. This picture was taken on the Wasatch Crest Trail. I love the fall colors!

Giving Rowdy a Bath (& Gavin)

Here's what happened the other day when Tony and Gavin gave Rowdy a bath outside with the hose... Gavin got almost as wet as Rowdy.

Gavin & his Grandpa Don

Last weekend my parents came to visit. It was so nice to have them here. And it was fun to take them to dinner to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary!
