Baby stuff?

I don't have school or a job currently so I have a lot of time to look at baby stuff online. I haven't bought anything substantial for baby yet because I get so confused every time I try to make decisions! There are a million things to buy: car seat, stroller, crib, cradle, clothes, other furniture, etc. There are also a million options for each item. The list seems to go on and on! I just don't know which brands and types of baby stuff are best.

So, if anyone out there has any suggestions about ANY of this stuff, please advise me! Why are decisions so difficult for me?

Other updates...

Going back in time... I went to my grandparent's lake house in Oregon with my family in August. It was fun relaxing with the fam. I have so many memories of that place- it is beautiful! Justin decided to stay in Texas and work so he couldn't come :( We made a stop at Pea Soup Andersen's on our way home (my face is being covered by my hair).
I tried to avoid being in pictures but here are some of the house and Erin, Sarah, and my dad.

We have been back in Provo for a couple of weeks now and Milo is up to his old habit of staring out the window. I think he' s a little bored- what do you think?

Baby Update

The first picture is from our 13 week ultrasound. I know it's really hard to see but it's the best I could do. My mom insisted even then that he has Justin's nose. He also is making a fist like he's trying to suck his thumb. He was only like 2 inches long at that point and now that I'm 21 1/2 weeks I think he's about 8 inches long! Woo hoo we are both growing -me maybe a little too much ;)

For those of you who haven't heard, we found out a few weeks ago that we are having a boy! The second ultrasound picture- if anyone can even make it out - is the proof!

Baby!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are expecting a baby! I am almost 15 weeks, due January 23rd. I tried to post the baby's first ultrasound from a couple of weeks ago but I couldn't get it to work. I guess I'll just have to wait for pictures of the real thing!

One more week!

This sassy man is coming home from his mission in Rome, Italy in exactly one week! I'm so excited to go home and see him!

Happy Birthday Nicole!

This weekend we went down to the Riverwalk and had dinner for Nicole's 22nd birthday. We ate yummy Mexican food right by the river. After dinner we made a quick stop to see the Alamo and went home for some cake and ice cream.

Fiesta Texas

We went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas last weekend with Justin's cousin and another couple, Mike and Nicole. The weather was like San Diego weather so it was the perfect day to go. Justin decided he doesn't like amusement parks and pooped out after only a few rides. I just went on rides without him while he ate a turkey leg and found someone's old cup to refill. It was a pretty good day, but I'm glad we decided against the season pass.




















FYI- These pictures were taken at the end of the day so we were pretty worn out!

Don't mess with Texas!

I knew when I started this blog that I was going to be a complete failure! I don't take pictures and I never have exciting events to talk about. I told Jessica (my sister-in-law) that I would post pics of our apartment in San Antonio, Texas. Caution, these are very boring pictures. We drove to San Antonio last week and Justin has started his summer selling. He's such a good little salesman.

I love our house in Provo but it is small and old and we have a lot of stuff in it. Here we have a ton of space and we didn't bring much to fill it up. Our walk-in closet here is pretty much the same size as our bedroom at home. We didn't even bring anything to put in it! It is so nice! We also have an extra bedroom/bathroom so come visit us!

Milo is getting settled in. He doesn't enjoy our cross-country drives every summer but he's a good sport. My only complaint is that Milo has to go potty like five times a day and we are on the third floor of our apartment building:( Hopefully my legs will get some muscles! Probably not.

The Bachelor SUCKS!!!!

I haven't really had too much interest in The Bachelor before this season. Even though I watched every single episode, I have to admit that I never really saw what was so great about Jason. I mean, he has a cute smile and he seems like a generally nice guy. He's no Robert Pattinson ;) Anyway, despite the forced professions of love and awkward kisses every five seconds, I actually enjoyed this season. Last night when I watched the season finale I had a perma-grin. I was so pleasantly surprised that he picked Melissa! Molly is cute and everything but she just isn't my favorite. Anyway, I was pretty satisfied with the evening. THEN, I watched the episode that followed, "After the final rose." Ummmm.... excuse me?? I was pissed!!!!!!! Jason is a very confused person. And what was with Molly's reaction to his news? She just giggled and looked very pleased with herself. I guess they deserve each other...

Sorry, I still suck at posting pictures!

Milo's new pack

Justin LOVES our dog Milo. He came home yesterday with a new present for him- a doggie back pack! We put water bottles in the pockets and took him for a walk with it. He is SO much better because he doesn't pull us when he has the back pack on. I think it's because he is really confused. It is a little big on him.












I guess this is what happens when you wait to have kids!

Cancun!

We went on an Apx trip to Cancun in January (this post is a little late). It was really nice to get away from the freezing cold weather in Utah. We stayed at the Fiesta Americana Condesa. It was fun to hang out with our fellow Apx-ers, drink endless pina coladas, and RELAX!

We rented a car and went with some friends to the Chichen Itza- the Mayan ruins nearby. The little girl is Justin's cousin's cute daughter.

after much harassment

we have been married for 2 1/2 years now and i guess it is time that we start a little blog. i mostly like to look at people's blogs because they have cute little children running around. all we have is a dog- i am sorry if that disappoints anybody (i know it does!). welcome to anyone who is interested in our lives and the life of our sweet puppy. more to come...
