A new baby!! YAY!!

Hi Everyone! Its still June and I'm doing another post! I'm so proud of myself. Kidding. Well it is finally happening. Mercedes is getting a sibling. We found out on Saturday and couldn't be more thrilled. It was a bit of a shock but not completely. We are so excited. We will find out for sure when we are due on Monday. Here are some pictures of Mike and Mercedes and Taft at the ocean and here is one I absolutely love of me and my sweet sweet Mercules. I'll be posting soon. Gotta love pregnancy. I forgot about nausea and tiredness. Maybe that is why pregancy is so long..so you forget! :)

First of June and it's raining

Hi anyone who still reads this boring blog. I've been keeping busy as everyone else has and I began to think 'hey, I can do something fun like update my blog once in awhile so people don't get bored of me'. But good grief I get bored of myself! So I'll try to be better.

We just got home from Long Beach (thanks Staci and Trent for putting up with us). It was so much fun! We got to go to Sea World (a little immature I know but it has been a lifelong dream of mine), the ocean (LOVE the ocean) and we just got to hang out which believe it or not is one of my favorite parts of a vacation. I read a book! I did! It has been a long time since I read a book without feeling guilty about it. It was a good one too. A new one by Mary Higgins Clark called 'where are you now'. I recommend it. I love mysteries.

And last weekend we went camping. It was a lot of fun and I just love the great outdoors. Seriously. It is hard for me to sleep in a tent but since we got to stay with Sam and DJ in thier fancy camper it was GREAT! There was one person there (who shall remain nameless) who I could have done without BUT....sometimes you can't have everything. My only thought is...'what the heck is she thinking'. I've labeled them beauty and the beast. Although this beast will always be a beast. I see no hope of him being a prince. I just wish he'd go away... Oh well..

Anyways!!! Mike and I are doing great. He's been playing Titan Quest with his brothers. Which is fine I guess. He don't go to bars or clubs or play golf or anything like that. And he seems to have it under control for now. He is a doll though...ooooohhh so CUTE! My husband is HOT! I have been gardening. I'll have to take some pics soon before they all die! I'll post those soon. And I need to get a baby blanket done to send to my friend before her kid is too old for blankets! (sorry Mel) Mercedes has been fighting an ear infection. She is fine then she isn't. Poor baby. She is still super funny though. She LOVES spongebob. Refuses to put on pants and shoes and of course takes out her ponytails and hair bows. Gotta love her. I need to get her off the cartoons. According to experts she shouldn't even be watching TV until she's two! Well those experts have never had to do laundry with a VERY active 15 month old.

Well there is a recap of our lives. Nothing too exciting thank goodness. :)

Amandaz Pix

Hello! I have recently gotten bit by the photography bug. I finally got Vyctorya my 4 year old niece over and came up with some really fun pix. Let me know what you all think.

Hola!

It's been awhile since my last post. I know I'm a slacker. Nothing real exciting going on really. Last month Mike and I went to the Jazz vs. Suns game and had a blast. It was my first time leaving baby so that was hard and then we got snowed in at Daniels Summit and were forced to spend another night away from Mercedes. We made the most of it though and ended up having another great night.

Mercedes is growing up fast and will now take a couple steps on her own before she realizes what she's doing. She is so funny and super sweet.

Well not much else to report. We are looking forward to next month because we are going to California to visit Trent and Staci! Yay! It will be Mercedes first airplane ride. Yikes! :)

Here is a new picture I took of Mercedes.

Black and Whites

She's such a cutie. :) I took the first two and Mike did the last one. I love black and whites. They add a tender glow that makes you focus on the subject.

Celine Dion 2009 Taking Chances Tour

My mom, my sisters, my niece and my baby and ME! all got to go to the Celine Dion concert in SLC Sunday. It was so much fun and so so good! I have never seen such a great show. We shopped in Park City, ate at the Olive Garden, went to the show and had a great time. The next day we went shopping some more. We had so much fun. And everyone got a long! YAY! ;)

Mercedes

Not much has been going on lately. We are just busy chasing little miss Mercedes. She is getting fast! And so big. This kid is so smart. I know everyone thinks that about their kids but ours really is! And she loves music and loves to dance. Mike and I can't wait to have another one. :)
