16 Weeks!

Well, I am 16 weeks and 4 days now.  We had an appointment this last week and got to listen to our baby's heart beat.  It was strong and healthy!  The count down is on, we find out on September 17th what we are having.  We can't wait!  Here is my 16 week belly picture.  For those who commented on my last photo don't be fooled...I have gained a good 10-15 pounds already and have to wear maternity pants because I can't get any of mine on!

I'm trying to pick out a stroller and crib for the baby but can't make up my mind.  Colors, brands, styles...it all starts making my head spin.  If you have any advice please send it my way!

On another note, Chris is starting his MBA on Tuesday which means our house remodel is going to be at a stand still.  Our last project was putting in the kitchen floor so our floors were 100% complete before I have the baby.  Before and afters won't be for a long time but here is a picture of our beautiful new kitchen floor!

Guess What.........

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

8 weeks

12 weeks, waving hi!

12 weeks, right as my ob started the ultra sound the baby put it's hands up by it's ears.  So cute but looks a little alien like.  The baby has a great heart beat and was moving around like crazy.

Chris had flowers delivered to my work on our 12 week mark.  12 roses for 12 weeks and 3 gerber daisies for 3 months, what a cute husband.

This could be scary but I decided it would be fun to do belly pictures, so here I am at 12 weeks.

I have been so sick and Chris has been the biggest help.  We are so excited for this adventure and CANNOT wait to meet our little one.  I'm due February 9, 2011 which seems far away, but I'm sure it will be here before we know it.  We find out in about 7 weeks whether it is a boy or girl.

As a side note the twins were born this morning and are doing great. Mason Nicolas Carpenter is 4 lbs 13 oz and 18 in long, Davis Martin Carpenter is 5 lbs 8 oz and 18 in long. We are so excited to go meet them and will have pictures to post later.

Wanda's Funeral

Chris' grandma passed away July 17th from old age.  She is now reunited with her husband Jesse, who passed on a few years ago.  It was a beautiful ceremony and we will miss her dearly.

4th Of July Derby

For the 4th of July we went the the ReAL game and fireworks on friday, the derby and fireworks on Saturday and then up to my parents house on Sunday for a BBQ. Chris' dad got us all VIP passes so we had great parking, great comfy seats, and even got some free dinner. Thanks Alan!

 

Maddi really enjoyed the derby ;)

Camping Lava Style

Chris had the last weekend in June off so we went camping at Lava Hot Springs. It was so nice to relax and spend time together. It made it even better that we were camping but there was a nice place to go swimming, yummy places to eat and some fun things to do.

In Loving Memory of Verl Wilson Godfrey

Born March 19, 1917 in Clarkston Utah

Died May31, 2010 in Clarkston Utah

My dear Grandpa passed away on the morning of Memorial day. We were so blessed to have him in our lives. I lived just a few blocks away from my Grandparents all growing up and was able to have a wonderful relationship with them. Grandpa and Grandma were married for 69 years! Grandpa Verl was a hard worker and a man of principals. He was such a great example to all of us and was fun to joke around with. He loved farming and worked on his land tell he was 90 years old. We love Grandpa so much and will miss him very much. We are so grateful the gospel in our lives and that we will be able to see him again one day. Here are a few pictures from the funeral.
