Zach did such an amazing job with Kingston's blessing and Austin did a great job on his talk!

Kingston was only 3 weeks old when we blessed him. And yes this outfit is too big for him but it was the closest one to his size in all of Idaho Falls! It's a 'Newborn' size

Kingston is a very cuddly baby and does not like to sleep alone. The second night we were home he finally slept in his crib for 3 hours!! Yay! So I had to take a pic! He is doing a lot better now, but still would rather sleep in bed with us in his dad's arms.

A lot of friends came to visit! We are so lucky to have so many wonderful friends!

Here I am 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant! Ready to welcome baby kingston!

Getting his first bath from daddy!

2009-10-13T22:42:00.000-07:00

We went in for an appointment today and Shantay was measuring small, so the doc did a quick ultra sound. We found out that her placenta was calcified and that baby's belly was small and amniotic fluid was low. Nothing to serious, but the doc decided to induce her today. At 3 they started her on a medication that softens the cervix and hopefully will get her to a 3 and then they will start her on pit. at 3am. If everything goes as planned then we will have a baby sometime tomorrow afternoon of tomorrow night. We will keep you all updated.

3 Year Anniversary! (In June)

And I decided I better do it now before the baby comes or it might not ever happen.

These 3 years have flown by! We have had such a great time!

Zach is the best husband ever and has proved that over and over again over these 3 years.

He is going to be such a great dad! I love him so much and am SO grateful for all he does for me and puts up with from me.

Bentley is so stinkin cute and sweet! Whenever I take a bath he comes in and jumps up on the side and checks on me at least twice. So I hurried and grabbed my phone to take a pic of him.

This was one of his easter presents. He loved his little bunny so much, we noticed him laying on the floor with it and his left paw was over the bunny's back. So cute!

This is Bentley at his first birthday party! If you scroll back way far then you will see the pics from his Birthday party! I went all out. This year we are going to take him to pet smart (his FAVORITE place to go) and buy him a toy!!

This pic is kinda fuzzy cuz its from zach's old phone, but this is when he was a puppy and we put him on the little kid rocking chair in my dad's office. We love Bentley so much!! And I sure hope he is excited for a little brother! I will be surrounded by boys!

My little sister Ashtyn rides Equestrian. This is us girls and Ashtyn's horse Prince. He is an awesome jumper and Ashtyn loves him so much!

Here is Ashtyn and Prince warming up! She jumped in 2 classes. One of them was jumps that were 3 feet 6 inches high. This was her first time jumping in a competition with jumps that high. And of course, she does awesome and takes first place! All the older girls and women who have been doing this longer than her were quite upset. But she totally deserved it! Love you Ashtyn!

Then we went to my little brother Austin's Lacrosse game! He did awesome! He is one of those boys that have no fear! He is tough out on the field! Love you Austin!

Basketball

2009-01-23T16:14:00.000-08:00

I have started playing basketball again and its been an interesting journey. Now, one would think that by playing Church ball every Thursday night and Apple Athletic Club B-ball tournament every Tuesday night, that i would begin to get into shape. Could i be more wrong!? I honestly feel like an 80 year old man every game, and this feeling was confirmed when i saw this post-game picture. (photo below). I am on the left, the one with the huge arms.

Oh yes, and i also rolled my ankle! I wish i could say that i went up for a sweet dunk and came down on top of another player and messed up my ankle....well thats not quite what happened. I actually was on a fast break all by myself and went up for a sweet lay-up and before i got off the ground, the damage was done. At least i didnt break my hip!!

Yes....More NYC pics!

2009-01-20T18:36:00.000-08:00

There were 23 people that stayed at my parents house during Thanksgiving. It was a total Blast! So instead of sitting all of us into the dining room we decided to run 3 tables down the middle of the living room. It worked perfect!

These are the turkey cookies that zach and I made! We were so proud of them! They were not only cute but also very yummy!

We basically look for any excuse to throw a party with our friends and family. So... We threw a Birthday party for Bentley! He turned one! And we have no children so it was way fun for me to plan! And we went all out! This is his birthday cake, and yes that is a picture of him on it that we had Albertsons specially make!

My dad made the mistake of sharing some of his hamburger with a small dog, then all the small dogs came to also have a treat. There were 5 small dogs and 3 big dogs at Bentley's party!

Yes, I will admit I rented a Jumper with a dog on it for the party! It was way fun to jump around in. Only the humans were allowed to jump in it. This is Zach with Bentley and my parent's 2 labs.

We played water balloon Volleyball! It was a blast!

As you can tell we had a way fun party!

Cancun, Mexico

2008-07-09T07:41:00.002-07:00

Bret, Austin and I watching a movie at the airport while waiting for our flight.

A snapshot of the coastline as we were flying into Cancun.

Brittany, me, Shantay and Ashtyn waiting in the lobby of the resort we stayed at. It was a beautiful resort and we had a great time!

Holy Chitza Nitza! Wow, if you ever get the chance to visit this place do it! It was amazing! Chitza Nitza is one of the 7 wonders of the world, so that tells you how awesome it was.

This was taken at Tulum, which are some other ruins near by. Our LDS tour guide Lemuel said this is one of the few city that shows no evidence of human sacrifice, and the city is surrounded by a huge wall that is like 18 feet high and 10 feet wide. It was pretty cool because the Mayan's built it on a cliff and used that cliff as a natural wall. Amazing buildings and the ocean was beautiful.
