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!!

Happy 60th MOM!!

So this past weekend, my sisters and I threw a surprise party for my mom's 60th birthday. It was a lot tougher then we thought to get her down here without knowing that the whole family would be here to surprise her! But, somehow, she made it down here and she was extremely surprised! We had a lot of fun just hangin out with the fam for Presidents day weekend, oh and Valentine's weekend!
We ate lots of good food, including Cold Stone cupcakes for her Birthday, her favorite!
We pulled the kiddies around our backyard on sleds, even though we don't have very much snow, they still loved every minute of it!

The girlies said Grandpa was the BEST puller because he is so strong!
The girls were all snuggled up ready for bed...
For Valentine's Day, I got my nieces and nephew some bubbles and they wanted to blow them all morning!


More sledding in the backyard...

Even Kendi loved it... look at that smile!
And we always find time to do haircuts and hairdo's in my salon...
Grandpa, Todd, and I got to take Kira and Kamber downhill sledding one day too. Somehow we managed to find a perfect hill that still had some snow on it! The girls loved it and they were a lot braver then I thought they'd be!
My little one got to go down a few times too :)
Thanks everyone who helped put this weekend together, it was a blast! And thanks mom for just being you! We love you!

Kinda Crazy...

So Thursday we found out that we are having a BOY!! YAAAAHHH!! We are so excited, but it is so crazy that I am far enough along to find out. I can't believe I am half way there! I have to admit, I was kind of relieved when I found out we were having a boy, girls can be such high maintenance!! HAHA! You know I love girls though! Anyway, just thought we would share our exciting news! Oh, and for those of you I told that we weren't going to find out, that went right out the window because I just NEEDED to know for my own sanity. It was all Todd's idea anyway!

A Big Belly Christmas...

So my Christmas break started off with a quick trip to Twin Falls to visit my sister and do some last minute shopping. I went up with my parents, Lexie, and Jaxon and we had a really fun time! The kids loved playing with Grandpa as you can see below...
We squeezed a lot into 2 days, we went swimming, shopping, played games, ate out, saw the new movie, "The princess and the Frog"(which I loved!) and just played around the hotel! My parents also set up a Christmas tree and we had a little mini Christmas with everyone! The kids loved it!
It was short but we had a lot of fun. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great time! And thank you so much for our amazing Christmas gifts, we are looking forward to using them shortly!

This year, we got to spend Christmas and New Years with Todd's family. We did a lot of fun things as well. Christmas Eve is always fun over at their house with 40 some people! Christmas Day, Todd and I made breakfast for part of the family and then went home and opened some presents, just the two of us...and our puppies. It was really a lot of fun. We played games later that night with Todd's family and laughed until we cried.
The rest of the week we did a few fun activities with the whole family including ice skating, skiing(well, not me!), sledding, basketball, and plenty more games. We spent New Years Eve their as well. Unfortunately on New Years Day, Todd spent the day throwing up along with 13 other people in Todd's family! That was definitely a bummer! But we still had a great time! Thanks Dave and Anavon for the many many meals you provided for us and the great entertainment!
Brittany, Todd and I also got up into the mountains hiking and cross country skiing. We hiked to waterfall twice, our favorite hike in the winter! It was beautiful as usual!

Here is my belly at 17 weeks...
I got Todd some cross country ski's for Christmas and he couldn't wait to try them out! So we headed to Pineview Dam and skied around up there. It was a lot of fun!

We even built a snowman in the middle of the Dam...

My belly again...





Notice how Todd is in very few pictures... he always wants to take the picture instead of being in it...you little stinker...
Anyway, it was a very fun filled break and I'm sad to be back to everyday life. However, with 2010 comes Baby Geddes! What a new adventure to look forward to!
