Not liking this new photo upload program

I can't figure out how to do anything the way I used to before blogger changed the layout of everything! Ugh. Anyway...Here are pictures of our trip to Utah.
My college roommate Bri stopped by the shower to say hi. Thanks for coming Bri! I wish I could see you more.
It was so great to have my mom out here with us for a whole week.
Trying to make my prego belly look as big as I feel
Another wonderful roommate, Megan. Its almost like it was MY shower.
I'm not going to write captions anymore because everytime I do it moves my picture. How frustrating.
First day of our family reunion at Aspen Grove in Utah
Ok so I guess now I can right about the whole trip :) The car in the last picture is the one that we bought to accommodate our quickly growing family. Its a Toyota Sequoia, its beautiful, and we got a great deal. Hopefully now we can still afford hospital bills for 2 babies. My grandma organized a family reunion at Aspen Grove which was so fun! They take care of everything you could think of, including child care for all ages. Its great. If you're looking for a place for a reunion, check this one out. It was wonderful to be with family that we don't see very often, and Jade had SO much fun getting to know her cousins (2nd cousins anyway) on my side of the family. Thank you Grandma for helping us create some great memories.

Couch Potato Summer

This has pretty much been me for the last 2 months. Homer, not Marge. But without the empty beer cans and goofy smile on my face.  And thats Aaron with the blue hair cleaning up all around me. Seriously, how long does morning sickness have to last? And since I know at least 3 of you are pregnant right now you probably understand where I'm coming from, and I hope you all feel better soon!

Here's some happier, semi-good nausea days from the end of summer.

This is Rigby Lake/pond/gravel pit. If you've ever been you might be wondering why this one of our GOOD summer days haha. Well, Jade had a blast, despite the cigarette smoke and $7 entrance fee.
We celebrated [cousins] Elle and Cael's birthdays together.  There's Jade looking on and then telling everyone "My birthday is next". Which this time it really is. But she's been saying that since last October. By the way, donuts instead of birthday cake is an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing, Heather.

Un-private

Well...that didn't last long. I had enough people (including myself) complain about troubles with signing in every time that I gave in an un-privated our blog.  So you're welcome everyone!

D's Baby shower

If you are near the Provo area and know my sister, Daryn--or if you don't know her but you want to see me :)--then you are invited to her baby shower hosted by my mom and I! Details are below. Let me know if you'd like to come and I'll give you directions.

Congrats and Charleston

Congratulations are in order to Kathy Low, a good childhood friend of mine. She guessed the secret about the ultrasound picture. We're having TWINS! Yay (and eeek!). Good job Kathy :)

Somehow I miraculously was cured of my awful morning sickness for exactly 6 days, just long enough to have a wonderful time with my sister, dad, stepmom, and Jade. Of course, the minute I stepped off the plane in Idaho I had to run to the bathroom hoping not to throw up along the way. But here is my fun trip...

We flew in the night before the last night of one of dad and Jenny's shows so we got a babysitter and had so much fun watching! And my great friend Erin was in it so we got to see her too.

After the show Erin and her boyfriend Matt came over. Does he look familiar to anyone?? Well, if you happened to watch the reality series "Grease: You're the one that I want" a couple of years ago, he was one of the finalists for Danny Zuko.

We drove up to Whiteville, NC to see my grandma Alease, Aunt Wanda, and Uncle Danny.

Jade figured out on her own that when you want a picture taken of you, you just put your arm around the person next to you. She did this all week.





There's the arm again. We played Bingo at gma's nursing home.

We had to get to the beach by about 10 in the morning to avoid the 115 degree heat of the afternoon.


What a great grandpa :)


Jade playing dress up in grandpa's...errr...grandma's dress up closet...

White chocolate chocolate cake...enough said.

Heading to the pool

My pregnant sister :)

And her niece


Princess Jade

Home from Charleston. Here's baby A

and baby B

Aaron's brother Jace is visiting and Jade had a blast with her cousin Dallin

They're practically twins. They do whatever the other does. Even when Jade puts on a dress and says she's a princess...



If only I could stop being sick, I would say life cannot get better.
