Baby Belly Pictures!!

So my sister's old roommate, Jenny Rossi, moved up here from Texas and she does great photography! So we were so excited to have her do some maternity pic's for us...well I guess I should say "I" was excited. Todd is never too thrilled to be taking pictures, however, he sure makes the picture look cute!
I was glad I was able to get some taken just to remember the experience of this all! However, it isn't so fun to be getting pictures taken of yourself when you feel enormous!!...but she did an awesome job and they turned out really cute. I was 33 weeks and growing in these pictures :) Thanks sooooo much Rossi!!
Anyway, if you want to check out the work she's done, go to jenniferrossiphotography.blogspot.com. She lives in Salt Lake City but is very willing to travel up here to the Ogden area.

March Madness!!

So I realize it's been a while since I posted anything, but the last month has been CRAZY! Right after we celebrated my mom's birthday and had the whole family down here, my cousin, Ashley and her fiance Don came for a visit. It was a lot of fun and we did quite a few things in the short time they were here. However, I couldn't do much of what we did since I'm preggo! But it was still a blast and we loved having them here. They brought their dog as well and our dogs got along great and played nonstop!
We took them on one of our favorite hikes up waterfall canyon.
Next, I had a double baby shower with my sister in law, Kristi. It was a lot of fun and all of the sisters from out of state even came up for it! We are only about a week apart!

Somewhere in all of this was my 25th birthday and a birthday to be remembered for sure! My mom and sister were down for the day so we went hiking and went to lunch.
Then that night, my hubby surprised me and took me to dinner and on a helicopter flight. I was his first passenger ever! It was so special to just be up flying around with my cute husband. Thanks sweetie for a great night!
...by the way, if you didn't notice, the helicopter we went in is super tiny...I have to admit, I was a little nervous at first!

Then, he had another surprise for me right after the baby shower. He took me to DISNEY ON ICE!!! I loved every minute of it! I felt like a little girl again and didn't want it to end. It was an awesome show! Wow, did I get spoiled or what?!
CARS was on of the best parts of the show...
They also did the Little Mermaid which was my favorite Disney movie growing up.
And of course, you can't forget the Lion King!
And the last part was the new Tinkerbell movie...
After all of this, we headed to California over our spring break. For Todd, it wasn't much of a spring break because he had a helicopter safety course that he had to take for most of the week. However, I sure had a good time and really enjoyed the sunny weather! My mom came down and we went shopping at the fun malls in California. We had a really fun time!
Then, Leisel and the girls came down for a day and a half and we went to the beach...
...And Disneyland!!!! Leisel got us all in for free thanks to "Give a Day, Get a Day" at Disney. She made like 6 quilts for all of us and that got us each a free ticket! Thanks Leisel!!
It was a REALLY hot day that day if you can't tell by the girlies red faces!
They got to meet Tinkerbell!! Woohoo!
On the ride, Dumbo...


We had so much fun at Disneyland, it was sad to go home!
After California, Todd and I drove to Arizona to visit Todd's sister Julie and her family. Besides getting lost and stuck in traffic for 2 hours making it a 9 hour drive instead of a 6 hour drive, we had a fun filled 2 days. Julie took us hiking on a little mountain located in the middle of Phoenix. It was very hot, but lots of fun! We also saw the movie Alice and Wonderland and spent an afternoon at her Gym working out and swimming. We also played with our cute niece and nephew in the neighborhood with bikes and scooters...
They had just moved into this house and it was beautiful!!
Thanks Bryce and Julie for letting us come visit. We had a blast!!

And here I am at 30 weeks preggo to end this long blog... I'm getting huge, I know!!
