Slide show from our San Diego, Disneyland, Cruise Trip

Crazy Fun Summer!!!

So this summer has been fun and full of things to do. It has been almost 2 months since I updated about what it going on so I am going to do one post. It may be a little long. Well since I last blogged we had a family reunion with the Mack's and it was really fun because it was the first time in about 8 years that me and my three other cousins that are born within 4 months of each other were together.

In august we had the Steadman family reunion which Wade's side of the family and we had a pinewood derby!! Sad news but I didn't win. The judges that came to judge our cars though did like mine the best they said. (At least that is what I think :) ) It was really fun.

The next week Trevor got married to Kari and it was a really fun day. It was long but really nice. They got married in the SLC temple and had a reception the Le Jardin.

After the wedding there was only 2 weeks left before we went on our big vacation!! We went on a cruise!! It was so much fun. We down own 4 days before the cruise with my family and went to San Diego and went to Sea World. I LOVED Sea World. It was so much fun!! Then we went to Disneyland because my mom and I were suppose to run the Disneyland half marathon. I unfortunately got pregnant and could run for two weeks because I was not feeling my best and pretty much stopped training until next year. So my mom ran and did a great job and I went and got my shirt that I paid for. We spent the rest of the day in Disneyland and had a great time. It is the most magical place on earth!!

Wade and I left on our cruise from San Diego the next day and had so much fun. We went to Cabo San Lucas and Ensanada. It was a five day cruise and way worth it. In Cabo we got off the boat and hug out at the beach and swam in the ocean. It was so warm and so fun!!! In Ensanada we went to La Bufadora which is a blowhole. On the way to the blowhole there were a lot of open shops!! I Love Shopping!! I bought the cutest purse!! I have posted a slideshow of pictures from the whole trip.

I also turned 20 weeks on the cruise.

I can't believe that I am halfway there. Well actually today I am 21 weeks so I am more then halfway. Things are going good and it is crazy watching my stomach get big. It is way weird.

We have had a great summer and arer really sad that it is over!! We are glad that we could get one more big trip in before the baby comes.

Ultrasound

So Wade and I just had our "first ultrasound". Well I am calling it our first because Wade was there and I was totally planning on it being the first, but when you work on Labor and Delivery and your Dr is always there and I can listen to my baby whenever I want I had a peak at about 10 weeks just because my dr came in with the ultrasound I couldn't say no. We are now 12 weeks and 5 days today!! It was fun seeing Pee Wee. That's our baby's name right now and until it is born because we aren't going to find out what it is. It is going to be a surprise!! So if I say he when I write about the baby it is because I call all babies that aren't born yet a he if I don't know what they are. Some patients (not all) will correct me if it is a girl. It's pretty funny because then I will still call it a he and have to correct myself and have to think really hard to say she. In the ultrasound Pee Wee was sleeping the majority of the time and the tech had to shake him to wake him up and get him in the position she needed him to be. So he did wake up for maybe 2 minutes so Wade could see how crazy it is when he moves because I can't feel a thing. It was so awesome and I will scan in a picture if I remember because it did take me a million years to even get some pictures on my blog!

I would also like to say farewell to Chel!! I was able to see her on Sunday and it was so much fun!! I am going to miss her but I hope she has so much fun on her new adventure in Washington!!

Seriously

So I really need to read my post before posting because seriously I look like I am illiterate. I promise I am not. I will now reread before I post.

TANK WARS!!!

Every year on the 4th and 24th of July Wade, his brothers and cousins have tanks wars!! They get the tanks at the fireworks stands and add many fireworks to them then they put them up against each other and whoevers tank is still going wins. This year was pretty funny. I couldn't tell you who the winner was this year because they all seem to just start on fire. You have to be careful though because you could have firecrackers flying toward you. It is really fun!! I even made one this year. My was't as extravagant as theirs but it was still fun.

Here they are getting the tanks ready

An example of what the tanks look like. I had to put in it is the one with the firework standing on top.
Tanks facing each other ready to take war!
As you can see they pretty much just start on fire but it is a blast!!

We actually did this on the 5th but on the 4th we had a fun filled day of the West Jordan Parade, a BBQ at Wade's parents then a BBQ at my parents the off to the Hick Parade!! The West Jordan Rodeo!! We loe the rodeo!! I especially love the muttin busters!! Our kid is totally doing that when they are old enough. I will talk them into it if they don't want to, but who wouldn't. I was bummed that we had to leave early because I had to be to work at 11pm. One bad thing about working in the hospital. It was great day!! I was pooped the next day from not sleeping for over 24 hours but it was okay!! Oh yah one other thing we did on the 4th was tell our family that we are pregnant!!!

Bailey

So if you knew my dog Bailey then you were very lucky!! For the last month he has started to walk in circles and run in the walls. At first it was pretty funny. Then it started to get worse I told me parents that they needed to take him in and finally after when all he was doing was walking in circles I went with my dad to the vet and the vet said that he had a Brain infection and that there was really nothing that would make him better!! It was I think one of the saddest days of my life. We asked the vet if he was in pain and he said he wasn't but we still had to put him down. This all happened on Mon 6/9. I just wanted to pay a tribute to my dog Bailey. My family has had Bailey since I was around 10 years old and it was the first dog that my mom would allow in the house. It was so exciting! He was a fun dog that when he wanted to play he would come in my room and look at me and grab something and run out. Sara Wright and I would always go on walks with our dogs Simon and Bailey we would try to make them be friends. Bailey loved to cuddle!! He would love to come in my room in the morning and jump on my bed to sleep longer with me or after I would work night shift at the hospital I would come home and he would cuddle with me all day. Then when I got married my said that he would go to my room and scratch at the door or walk in and look for me. I loved Bailey and he was the best dog ever!! After this expereince and crying all night Wade finally said that I could have a dog that could be inside the house!! I won't get one right now though.

HOMEOWNERS!!

We are finally HOMEOWNERS!!! We bought a condo in Taylorsville and we love it!! We moved in on Sat 6/14 and are still unpacking (maybe that is due to laziness) but it will get done! It is so great not renting!! It is 3 bedroom 2 bath and just great!! I will put pictures up when it is not a mess.
