blabbing post..

So I am in my 28th week now! Hellooo 3rd trimester! Our baby has been moving like crazy the past week and its so fun! I can't wait to meet her, but I am also ok with her staying in for another 2 1/2 months because we still have a TON to do and figure out before she is born.

I feel like time as gone by fast but yes is going slow too.. does that make sense?

It hardly feels like Christmas to me with Curtis being gone so much and also I have my mind set on March that the other months don't really seem to matter right now. At least I have my small Christmas tree up and it makes me so happy and feel somewhat holidayish!

Since when is it the biggest luxury ever to have your hubby home and have a normal life? I miss him every day and can't wait for him to be home more days in the month than not!

I have decided I have very bad committal issues. Not with relationships (obvi) but on where to live! I have moved into a different apt. or city every few months for the past almost 4 years that change seems just a way of life. Curtis of course would like to go back to Salt Lake but I can't seem to leave AZ yet, but then again I have anxiety signing a long term contract or lease...makes sense right??

Anyways just had to blab a little about life! Happy holidays everyone!!! xoxo

A cleaner lighter you..

I found this off a blog.. words I should start living by!

1. taking time to exercise is crucial for women
2. nutrition makes up for 80% of what we look like, exercise is 20%
3. Start your day off with 2 glasses of water, we wake up dehydrated, squeeze lemon to jump start metabolism
4. Eat seasonally, teach your kids to help pick out the veggies & fruit for each season
5.Shop local farmers markets first before buying veggies & fruits from grocery store.
6. ORGANIC MILK ONLY
7. One green smoothie a day
8. don't count calories, eat when you are hungry, eat the right foods
9. veggies, fruit, beans, & protein
10. Every mother needs the energy that comes from proper nutrition & exercise
11. Best kind of bar to give kids, LARA BAR
12. Train their taste buds when they are young.
13. Just because you buy food & snacks from wholefoods, DOES NOT mean its healthy
14. Making treats VEGAN style is always a healthier option

Here is what has been going on since Curt got back..

Curtis's sister in law, Serra, FINALLY had her baby boy twins! We stopped by the day before our cruise (they live in ca.) They were born November 3rd and are so cute! I am so jealous of my baby, she is going to have so many cousins close in age! After the twins, there's 3 more cousins all due within end of feb to end of march.. so fun!

The other weekend we went to my friends cabin with a few couples but unfortunately this is the only picture I took!




Curtis is the best husband and surprised me with a "babymoon" cruise that went to catalina island and ensenada! It was short but sweet! I am starting to get a little large being about 24 weeks now so these may or may not be the last pictures I post of myself for the rest of the pregnancy!! Here are a few from the cruise.


Cute Hubby!

We're Seeing Pink!

So I went to a 4D early gender determination place called "My baby's first ultrasound" and she said we are having a little girl!! We are thrilled! All I can say is that I better not be part of the 4% that was mistaken!!

14 weeks!

Whats new with us? Well..

most of you may have heard by now that I am pregnant! About 14 weeks now, and our baby is due

March 5, 2012.

Exciting exciting! Although my morning sickness wasn't super bad (besides 2 weeks of it), I feel so happy to say that I am now in the SECOND trimester!! yahoo!!!


-I have an appetite again! (except I still struggle with green veggies.. (baby must be a boy if I can't eat my greens!!!)

-Rocky Road!- I almost refuse to eat any dessert besides my favorite ice cream Rocky Road!.. unless its a sucker or sour candy. (And yes, I am very protective over my ice cream, probably not the best sharer)




-I have more energy and motivation to actually work out more regularly again! And it feels so good! Everytime I go to the gym and literally EVERY time I see this other pregnant girl that looks like about 5-6 months pregnant running/walking on the tred. and she looks great! She is kind of my secret motivation during this pregnancy!!



-Staring this week I am going to try to do yoga 1-2 times a week this whole pregnancy! I guess we will see how it actually works out!






Curtis is still in Kansas and probably won't come visit for another month! eek I hate this long distance thing!

I start my new job on Thursday (I was supposed to go back to my old job but my manager told me last minute they didn't have enough work/hours open, not a fun day for me!) I am happy with how things worked out though!




On another note.. CAN'T WAIT for all my favorite shows to start soon!!! Is that pathetic?

rocky point!

So after not seeing Curt for a month he finally came down to visit and we thought we could do a last minute trip to rocky point! I haven't been since highschool so it was fun to go back!! After rocky point we thought we would be spontanious and drive to cali and try to escape AZ's deathly heat wave!!

BBQ in Park City!!

My family and I drove to UT and we stayed up in Park City most of the time! My parents have a time share so we thought we would have a BBQ up there! I am a big Park City fan in the summer.. SO pretty!

Curtis is still in Kansas so he wasn't able to come. He recently went to Long Island for about 2 weeks to sell. I haven't seen him in about a month and I miss him so much! I didn't not sign up to be an army wife!! But hopefully we will get to see eachother soon.)

Here are some pics of the BBQ

We are sisters even though I don't feel we look anything alike!













Frost Family minus Mikaela!



Us with Kaylee and Bethy.. our long lost sisters!!




DeEtte and the Beckster!

Navoo and Summer!

We went to the batting cages!













Curt's family came in town and we went to Navoo!






After Lake Powell I went to ut for a few days and got to see one of my good friends from highschool, Jenny, who has the cutest baby belly!! Can you believe she's 8 1/2 months here?
congrats jenny!!!


So since we decided I should move back to AZ and get back to my old job, Curtis drove me down and stayed for a week! A few things we did were lots of lunch dates, floated the river and a diamond backs game!

After floating the river!!!







Diamond Backs game!
