Whoa Baby!

So I guess things aren't official in life until you either facebook about them or blog ... so here is my blog post to make it official! Jed and I are so excited because we are having a baby GIRL in January. We are so happy that after some time trying that we are going to have a new addition to our family. We went to Fetal Fotos 3 weeks ago because for any of you that know me, I am NOT a patient person. So I just HAD to find out what we were having. The last couple of weeks Jed and I both thought it was a girl, but we just needed the proof. She was being such a stinker and would not show us her "parts" (a true lady:) and the umbilical cord was right between her legs making it impossible to tell.. but after 45 minutes and a lot of moving around trying to get her to move she finally showed us that she was indeed a girl. It was so cool to see her moving around in there. She was punching and kicking and doing somersaults. It was so fun to watch! I am so glad that Jed suggested we go to Fetal Fotos because we got a lot of pictures and a really cool video of her moving around. We go next week for our 20 week ultrasound so I'm excited to get another good look at her!!!

Summer Update

A lot has been going on with us this summer, but I never seem to take pictures of any of it and we all know a blog post is nothing without pictures! Of course I uploaded these backwards so we will start from most recent... I was inspired by my friend Emily and attempted some gourmet cupcakes. They were delicious! They were chocolate caramel with a chocolate mousse filling and vanilla frosting. Delicious! Jed's Dad was called as Bishop in his ward yesterday so I made these for the large family get together after.

Gavaroonie got glasses (he is 18 months old.. this is Sara's little boy) and I think he is adorable! We were at McDonalds when I took this and he had his arms folded because he wanted to pray. SO CUTE!

We sold Jed's truck :( but we got a new Inifinity Crossover that we love already! I forgot to get a picture of the new car, but I'll try to get that on the next post. We will miss the truck though... Jed asked me to marry him in this truck so we have lots of fond memories of it.

July 20th was my 23rd birthday. I had a delicious meal at my moms house of my favorite Curry Chicken. It was soooo good! Elisse made me some gourmet chocolate cupcakes. They were soooo yummy!

This lighting makes us look sickly... I promise we weren't sick. Thank you family for the fun birthday!

Jed took me to Benihana for dinner a different night and that was a blast too! I love Benihana!

Other things that have happened this summer that I don't have pictures of: Stucki family reunion at a Haunted old school house in Idaho... I am sad I didn't get pictures but this will definitely be a family memory none of us will forget

Cherry Hill family reunion with Jed's family- This year was a lot of fun like always! But my first year of a downpour (not fun! but so glad I was sleeping in a trailer and NOT a tent)

Miles For Michael 5K- Jed and I participated in a 5K at sugar house park with my sister in law Annies family to raise organ donation awareness. Her brother Michael needs a Liver transplant and we were honored to be on their team running in honor of Michael and his late brother Tyler. If you aren't a donor, please go sign up!

So that's our summer so far..... Hope everyone is having a great summer!
