Don't you wish you were one of my co-workers?! I think these turned out pretty marvelous!

Gingerbread Festival 12/17/2011

Brandt and Alexis joined me for a wonderful evening at the gingerbread festival! It was spectactular and I convinced Alexis that we have to compete next year! Here are a few pics of our favorite edible houses!

Me and my sis! 28 weeks preg

It really got us in the Christmas spirit for sure!

Preggers!

Being pregnant has honestly been one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I love having my little boy with me in my kangaroo pouch. I love watching him , talking to him, and feeling him move around! It has also been an amazing physical challenge-in a good way! I have been teaching the entire time and am looking forward to the next few weeks of teaching. I am so thankful for a healthy body that can carry this baby and allows me to work and do the things i love! I can't wait to meet this little boy, he is going to have the moves like Jagger for sure!

Park City TK-December 9, 2011 27 weeks pregnant!

The Hunting/Rotation Vacation!

Tyler officially finished his 2011 rotations! He only has 2 more left! Pharmacy school is nearly spanked! Tyler had a great experience in South Dakota! His favorite part was the last week he spent hunting with his Dad, Brother, Tad and his Indian spirit guide.

Sitster time!

Last week Cammie and Christian were in town. Why Christian went to a lunch meeting, Cammie and I got a hair doing lesson, went to lunch and went shopping! I wish every day was that fun!

I also had to try on this little baby utes first shirt! I think he is going to love it!!!

Turkey Burn!

This year Cammie and I wanted to put on a turkey burn workout class to raise money for our MS walk team. It was a great experience! Here are a few of the pics from our day. We are hoping to make it a tradition and get even more people next year.

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving was so fun this year. We headed out to the desert for some dutch oven cooking. The weather was awesome and we had a great time!

I like this picture of my dad! Looking out over his favorite place in the world!

Dory and me!

Tyler and Me!

Mom cooking up the food!

What a man!

I am so thankful for my husband, baby and awesome family! It was a wonderful holiday!

24 Weeks!

Where does the time go!? I can barely keep up with this growing boy! I am now 25 weeks but these pics were taken at 24 weeks!

He is kicking like crazy and I am loving it! I can see my stomach move and roll on its own, and I am feeling lots of movement all over. I cannot wait for March to get here!

This is my friend and Turbo Kick student Cathy! We are both preggers! She is due a month later than me. We are still rocking out the workout and having fun being pregnant together!

One more down!

On November 4th Tyler finished another rotation at the Utah Poision Control Center. He learned alot and best of all we worked in the same building!

On November 7th Tyler began his new adventure on the res. He has been in South Dakota for 2 weeks working for Indian Health Services. When he left he looked something like this.

He now looks something like this....

Weird right?

Baby update! 22 weeks!!

I need to take some more pics! My tummy is getting bigger every week! I am seriously in love with this kid!

Fun things at 22 weeks

-Feeling him kick and roll especially in the early morning and at night
-Talking to him. I like to tell him about our adventures for the day
-Having Tyler feel him. It's so cool!
-Thinking of names and getting lots of name suggestions from other people
-When Cali and Carter hug me they always give a little tummy hug to the baby, it is so cute.
-Carter calls him the little "mcgoober"
-Getting fun baby stuff for him

I don't know if I love "pregnancy" but I seriously love having this kid in me. My Mom told me in just a few weeks I will want him out! Then Cammie told me there will be times I wish I could shove him back in! Either way I am just trying to enjoy all the fun experiences and changes!

Strong

I found this yesterday on pinterest and wanted to share!

When I think of strength I think of my amazing Mom who teaches aquasize everday. Somedays she feels like crap, and she still gives it 100%. when I am half assing something I think about her and how strong she is. Strong mind, body, soul! I want to be strong like her!

Halloween 2011

I hope you all had a great halloween! Tyler isn't much for costumes, but did agree to pose in his new hunting gear.

Me, on the other hand, would dress up everyday if I could! I threw a big Turbo ween party at the field house with my awesome Turbo Kick students! It was a blast. We dressed up, turned the lights out, wore our glow sticks and shook our butts like crazy!
