So....

I really need to get up and get moving on this blogging thing! I have A TON of pictures just sitting, waiting, wanting to be used and posted and stories to be told! Anyone have any motivation they can pass on to me? I'm so not feeling it right now. But with tomorrow being Saturday and Skyler having homework to do, maybe I'll get a bit in before bed. We'll see! Oh keep your fingers crossed that we end up doing our day trip to Park City tomorrow, I really wanna get out of Syracuse for a bit! I need to do something before I lose my mind! It'd also be fun to take more pictures and have more things to post about! Hope everyone is doing well!

Nov. Girls Night

Another crazy girls night!

Lisa's little man creation

Oh it was a pajama party

Which worked out perfect for me as a lazy day. 

Scout was exhausted by the time we got home, he jumped into bed and didn't leave at all!

Nursery!

We have finally begun construction... or is it destruction... of the nursery!
This is the room when it was Cadin's most of the walls were green.

(The above are what it's looked like recently)

These are of Cadin at Home Depot last night when we were collecting everything for the floor

And these are without the carpet....

And it's gone! Also first piece to go down before the new wood floor goes in!!

Nov. 1

 What a way to start off November! Steven is back (think I mentioned that in my last post), and wants to go everywhere! So today Cadin, Britney, Steven & I went on an all day trip! We hit up IHop, then made the long journey out to Cabela's. Steven was the only one from the bunch that had been there before so it was pretty neat. We got some amazing fudge

and then decided to head to Gateway where Steven had us all go into Build-A-Bear and Cadin built Puppy, his puppy, Britney made Allyssa her monkey, and I made Little Miss, Nilla her new bear. Cadin also got a Mator hat.

 We went to In N Out and saw this Bentley

 After that we went and saw some houses and had to sneak to see a few... like this one...

Cadin in his truck with his truck hat & Puppy!

Update time again!

We're back for another update! First things first! Baby Summers is a little girl! We were able to go into our 20 week anatomy scan and watch her relax for half an hour! I haven't felt her move yet, well haven't distinctly I'm sure she moves around at night, I randomly wake up quite often, so to see her just laying back with one hand on her head and the other on her belly with her legs crossed made us both think she just likes to relax! She's measuring a bit small compared to her first measurements, but still within the week range we were given. She's  12 oz and has a beautiful little set of bones in her! We do have a name already picked out and have just known it was meant to be for our daughter, we're still debating on telling people her name but I'm sure as nursery pictures get posted people will quickly notice her name! 

Speaking of the nursery, I can't wait to get started on it! We already have a crib, and dresser picked out just need to actually buy it, which will be soon! I do need to find some bedding though, that seems to be the hardest for me to decide on. I want to see it in person, make sure it looks and feels right for our little girl, but I know I can find some amazing deals online! Like our crib sells for over $300 and I found it online for $185! YES! I love bargain shopping! 

In other news, Skyler had his birthday this past Tuesday, and is the big 25! We had family over for some cupcakes! Lisa's birthday was yesterday, went to Red Robin and I made her a waffle cake! Today of course was our big ultrasound, and Steven came home! He took Skyler & I out to dinner as a congratulatory dinner! It was wonderful! 

Life is going by so fast right now, I can't even keep the days straight most of the time! That's all I can remember for right now update wise, but I'm sure in the middle of the night I'll think of more things and I'll be of course posting pictures soon! 

The Start of October

I decided that I better post something here before I scream! If you have a problem with me or Skyler not telling you we were pregnant right away you can just go away. I am sick of hearing stupid comments from people, or getting the "why didn't you tell us sooner" look. It was our decision to tell people when we were ready, and some people still haven't been told but will after we find out the gender of Baby Summers. If you found out from someone else and are still waiting to hear it from us you'll get to hear it soon. I just don't think it's right to go posting it to every single person right away, I don't need to pee on a test and then post it to facebook, I tell certain people things are certain times, there are people that I wanted to tell sooner and those we wanted to wait to tell. Now this is not how everyone has reacted, majority of the comments we got after first posting and people slowly finding out were wonderful and we're extremely grateful to have such kind understanding people in our lives!

Now moving on, life is wonderful here on our end, hope it is going just as well for you! Skyler absolutely loves his new job and they love him! Army is still there and he's still gone 1 weekend a month which is now dedicated to girls night!  We had one Oct. 2nd and it was wonderful! All but 1 sister (Lisa) was there, my Aunt Carole, B (Steven's girlfriend) and my friend Bethany came! We did the best things, we ate gave Rachel and Carole facials and dipped our hands in wax. Perfect beauty night. Oh I forgot we had one adorable little man there also, Cadin!

Mom's birthday was last weekend, and we had pizza, hot wings and played Apples to Apples, which is a wonderful game to play with my family! Can't wait for us to get together again and play! I was able to decorate a cake for her, though this one does not look pretty I still have to post it for memories.

I had help from a very adorable 2 yr old when it came to decorating, we did our best.

Steven is in Texas this is going to be his fourth week there (hopefully he is able to come home after week 6), and on the days he is supposed to get Cadin, I get him! It's been absolutely wonderful! I now know Elmo's Adventures in Grouch Land very very well.

We were able to attend our friend Paul's wedding Oct. 1st  and were able to take Cadin with us, he enjoyed the luncheon most where he ate cheese and tomatoes, I have some really cute pictures of him waiting patiently while Skyler dished up his cheese and tomatoes. I didn't get any pictures of Skyler & I, wish I would have but we have forever to take pictures together missing a couple is okay.

Skyler & I have an official date for finding out the gender of Baby Summers, which is in the last week of October, which works out perfectly with Skyler's birthday the 26th, Lisa's the 27th and Halloween right after. Can't wait to give this little one a name! I'm finally  slowly but surely starting to feel better, I have been able to go a day with out taking a stomach pill till right before bed. I haven't been able to ever do that. Hopefully things are finally looking up! 

This is a belly picture from yesterday (Oct 12), just half way through 18 weeks! I'm finally starting to show, but to get good pictures like this one I have to eat and move around for a while then it really sticks out! 

More good news! My cousin Sammi and her husband are expecting their first baby! Baby Clemens will be here in June! Its crazy how things happen. My birthday is in April and Sammi's is in July, and Baby Summer's is due in March and Baby Clemens in June, they'll be about the same bit apart as we are! I'm so happy for Sammi & Alex. Skyler and I are hoping that we can get to know them a lot better now that we have more things in common! 

And just a few more pictures for memories.

 His silly glasses! 

  He loves grapes!

 Smiling at the kids with the stolen gum!

 Cadin stole some gum from my purse and though it was funny to run to the corner.

Cadin in my Sunday School Class again.

Cadin in nursery with Grandpa! Grandpa said he loved the little snacks, and that he loved being in nursery as long as Grandpa was in there.

The Much Needed Update.

So I'm writing this about a week and a half to 2 weeks before we'll actually publish it, but its better to get it ready and make sure that I'm positive it's how I want to post it. Skyler and I were able to celebrate our 2nd anniversary on Monday August 16th, me and my mom (Skyler had work early so he could be home early for dinner) were able to go to the doctors and hear the most beautiful reassuring sound ever, we got to hear our baby's heartbeat! That's right we're pregnant! After a year and a half of trying and a couple months to make sure everything is going well,  it is finally safe to say we are just over 3 pregnant and are so EXTREMELY EXCITED to meet our sweet little blessing, who is due to be here March 12th! ** Also as a little side note, yesterday Aug 30th, we went and heard the heart beat again!** 


**I'm not sure how many people actually care about the whole pregnancy thing but I'm going to let everyone know how it's been, even if I'm the only one that looks back at this. First off, as mentioned before, we are ABSOLUTELY THRILLED, though we do have to mention that it hasn't been the easiest last few months, if anyone knows about my moms pregnancies well they were ridiculous! She was so sick ALL the time, well lucky for me I've been so sick ALL the time too, (which is a big blessing, our Dr. said "usually when you see a mom that's having such a hard time, you will see a baby that is doing wonderfully." and ours is!). Thank goodness they were able to give me a medication (Zofran) that seems to be helping me a ton. Oh and I've finally been promoted to the every 4 week appointments instead of the every other week appointments!!**


Also, Skyler got a job! He's working out in Orem, (all good computer jobs are out that way) and we're planning on moving down that way in about a year and a half to 2 years. (I know its a while away but we're planning early, especially with the baby coming we want to make sure we have things planned really well.) BUT we're only planning on moving down there if that is where the jobs are still, of course. 


There is SO SO SO MUCH going on in my family right now, new baby here on our end, and Steven is moving to Texas. Okay so maybe it's only 2 things but they are huge life changing things going on! 

More Pictures

Here are those pictures from the 4th of July that Mark took of Cadin & my dad! He sent my 50 or so but these are the best ones!
