Bleh

I don't feel like blogging lately. I don't have the energy to do much and my house is evidence of that but I somehow feel guilty that it has been a few weeks since I have written anything. I never officially did an "I'm Pregnant" post, but just like last time I feel like telling people is not my favorite thing to do. I actually don't like telling people and let my mom do most of the work this time.
The symptoms are the same this time, but I think my tolerance level for them is much lower. Ask Bryce how angry I am in the morning :( The other difference is that I am not 100% positive what we will be having. I don't have a clear feeling and I have no clue on names for a boy or a girl. I don't think we will even start talking about it until we know forsure what the baby will be. For now we are just going with the flow and I am trying to make it through each day.
Our first ultrasound was last Friday and we got to see the little fluttering heartbeat. There is only one baby in there which will probably be a relief, but I was kind of hoping there were 2 so I wouldn't have to do this ever again. My due official due date is August 19th.
I am not grateful for these symptoms but I am so grateful for the blessing of having another one and letting our family grow into a family of 4.

Christmas 2010

I guess I wasn't in the picture taking mood this Christmas. Half of the pictures I have posted are stolen from other people. We had a great Christmas. We spent lots of time with family and with each other which was the best part.

It has been a long time since we have been up to see Bryce's mom so we took a trip up to North Ogden to visit and exchange gifts. Holley loves Christmas and goes all out. We were happy to see her.
On the day before Christmas eve we went to Temple Square to see the lights. They are always fun to see and it's a good activity to help bring the spirit of Christ into your life during the Christmas season.

I let my mom take all of the pictures on Christmas morning so I don't have any of them right now. We slept over and had an amazing dinner and opened presents in the morning. Jayda still doesn't understand and was a bit overwhelmed by everything around her. Once we got the room cleaned up and gave her one toy to focus on she was happy. She got her very first baby doll and stroller from Grandma and an Old McDonald farmhouse that sings and spins around from Grandpa. Those were both the winners in the favorite toy category.

On New Year's Eve we went to a party at Tucano's in Salt Lake. They had dinner and dancing and we felt like two young people in love again and not just parents. It was great to hang out with such good friends and eat great food and have an excuse to get dressed up. I have always wanted to go to a dress up party on New Years. I love going to these types of restaurants with Bryce and hearing him speak in Portuguese and seeing his eyes light up. He really loves Brazil and the people.

Apparently I thought I was a rock star that night.

So, the reason I didn't have my camera on New Years Eve was because I left it at my aunt's house on Christmas day. My family thinks they are hilarious and decided to leave me a few presents on my camera. I was fully prepared for this to happen but I am not sure they knew I would post them on my blog. Ha Ha suckas! Now all of your embarrassing pics are out there for the world to see.

For your viewing pleasure......

One of these things is not like the other......




This one is getting blown up to billboard size and I am going to hang it in the hall of flags at UVU. (She works there)

This one will be on a posterboard outside of the U of U bookstore.

I am going to run the Highland Fling next year with this guy on my shirt.


What kind of a mother would support such monkey behavior?!

Not bad for a rookie!
I am pretty sure this is supposed to be an angry face. Cutest little guy ever.
This was just a sampling of the joy I found on my camera. I think that everyone who sees this should make fun of them and laugh at them.
