7 Months Pregnant!

Today I am 7 months pregnant! I can't believe how fast, yet how slow pregnancy goes by. The last few months are always the hardest for me. My belly gets so large that I have a hard time getting "normal" things accomplished on a daily basis. As for now, I still have a lot of energy and I seem to accomplish more "projects" than I ever have. Yesterday I stained the kids play set, added new playground chips and sand to the play area. I also cleaned up and weeded the yard all in one day. Brady and I finally decided on a name; William Matthew. I am so excited to finally have my William. I have always known that was the name for my baby boy and Brett was going to be William Brett, but Brady really didn't like William as a first name until now; I guess persistency pays off!

St. Patrick's Day



Our St. Patrick's Day Picture. Half of our family wore green, the other half didn't care to. Brett is devouring a cookie that Anne & James Jensen made. It was the most amazing sugar cookie with creamy mint icing that I have ever tasted. I want more!!

Crazy Bed Head!


Brett woke up this morning with the most interesting hair-do. It was so funny that It wouldn't go down all day; so I left it like this just for laughs from everyone who looked at him.

Madison's 11th B-day!






What a great day for Madison! She woke up to her favorite breakfast in bed: sausage, eggs, donunts, yogurt, chocolate milk & a banana. She also received her first 2 presents that morning which were; shorts and a shirt. She was very surprised when I showed up at her school with 3 dozen glazed donuts for her class. I also had bought her and Kaysha subway sandwiches and we stayed in the classroom and ate together with her teacher. We also had a big night planned for Madison. We went to JCW's as a family and headed over to the Thanksgiving Point Theaters to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. It was a great movie and Brett and Anamarie were perfect little angels the entire movie. Besides our family other came along too. Kolby, Grammy Linda, and Grammy Eldean joined us at the movie. It was more than she expected!

Brett & Anamarie's photo shoot



Brett & Anamarie had the opportunity to get their pictures done by Jami Edman; Images by Jami Photography. She and another friend got together and put on this photo shoot where 100% of the proceeds went to an orphnage in Ghana. So of course I had to take advantage of this one. Anamarie is always so photogenic but Brett was not going to smile for anyone; as you can see. He had such attitude that day, but his pictures still turned out adorable.

Best Valentines Ever!

Brady was really creative this Valentines day. It was an all day event with SLC Temple, Park City for shopping, and dinner at Ruth's Chris. However, we didn't get to the Temple that night, but we did do everything else. As we started our date Brady opened the car door for me with a rose and a love note on my seat. It was so sweet and I really appreciated his creativity. We had a nice drive to Park City and by the time we got there we only had an hour before our dinner reservation to shop, so we quickly went to the Lucky store, and got some jeans for Taylor, and 2 shirts and some jeans for me; post baby of course. Then we went to Motherhood and bought me a new pair of maternity pants. Then to Calvin Klein to find some Cologne for Brady with no luck. We made a quick long walk back to the truck through the light snowfall. Brady opened my door for me, and to my surprise, there was another rose on my seat with a love note. It was so sweet and totally unexpected to have two roses. He was very sneaky to place the rose on the seat somehow without me seeing this. We arrived at Ruth's Chris at 6:00pm and had the most incredible dinner! Brady had the lamb chops and au gratin potatoes, and I had the 8 oz Fillet Mignon with au gratin potatoes. We also ordered a side of our favorite; creamed Spinach, and Calamari for an appetizer. When it was time to leave, we went outside to have our car returned to us from valet. Brady opened my door and just like before there was another rose with a love note on my seat. The night was perfect! So thought out, and creative. I loved it!!

Geek Squad Member

It didn't take Brett very long to discover the new work station in the office that I created for the kids. As I was busy working on my computer, I heard a little giggle and turned to see a very adventurous baby boy sitting in between the two laptops. Luckily, my camera was sitting on my desk and I snapped this picture! It couldn't have been more perfect!

Bedroom Buddies!

As Brady and I went to bed one night we were so happy to see all the Bedroom Buddies that magically appeared in our bedroom that night. We had put Anamarie to bed earlier and told her that her animals will keep her safe while she sleeps. That simple reminder must have set the wheels spinning in her head because she managed to design a great plan for mommy and daddy. She carefully and neatly transported every one of her stuffed animals into our bedroom to the foot of our bed...to keep us "safe". It was a very cute welcome!

It's a BOY!!


At 16 weeks of pregnancy, Brady and I had the opportunity to find out what we were having. We were very surprised to have an ultra sound so early; thank goodness for our friends mother who is our nurse. She really hooked us up big time. We weren't planning on it, but she was able to "sneak us in" early. Thanks Mirta.
