10 on thursday

1. i spent an awesome weekend in phoenix with my mom and sisters. we saw wicked. it was amazing. we stayed with family (my mom's brother and wife). i saw my old roomie rachel. we ate yummy mexican food. we melted in the very hot phoenix sun. we went to the mesa temple. and like we always do, stayed up way too late talking.


2. jared and jace had a boys weekend and had a great time. they went to parks. ate pizza. watched movies. spent an afternoon at the carnival riding mostly the roller coaster. and my house was really clean when i got home!

3. jace told me on monday that his favorite part was "getting his mommy back." i'm glad to be back home too.

4. 7 weeks 4 days - our healthy baby girl. jace says she's just a speck and we should name her lightning (like lightning mcqueen).


5. we took jace to see ice age 3. he loved it. i fell asleep about half way through. we did score some free movie tickets because it took them 30 min. to fix the screen before they could start the movie.

6. jared's work bought everyone tickets to see the harry potter 6. i thought it was pretty good. it's been so long since i've read the book that i didn't remember any of the details just the main parts. although, i thought it was a little too intense at some points to be a pg movie.

7. i went to my first "normal" dr. appointment this week. i have a new ob and i think he will be pretty good. i go back in two weeks for another ultrasound.

8. i cooked baked potatoes last week and forgot to poke holes in them. when i opened the oven one of the potatoes blew up in my face. it made a huge mess. i don't think i'll make that mistake again.

9. i had some pictures of jace swimming but am having issues with my computer. he is swimming so good (for a two year old) after a month of lessons. he will swim under water for a little while and go to the bottom to pick stuff up. he loves it!

10. happy 24th tomorrow!

10 on tuesday

1. first of all i wanted to send a shout out to jared who has been a stellar husband, picking up the slack while i sleep the days away. seriously, that's all i want to do lately. he has been cleaning and cooking and not complaining.

2. besides being tired and hungry i've been a nervous wreck, over-analyzing and worrying about this pregnancy. does anyone else do this when they're pregnant?

3. enjoyed a gno with some friends i haven't seen for awhile. it was great to catch up with everyone and chat for a few hours. love you guys!

4. congrats to jason and tae on the arrival of their new baby boy, yuushi jay!

5. we went to provo's freedom festival for the first time this year. it was hot and crowded. the blow-up toys were to hot to play on and the carnival rides were to big for jace. the old cars were kind of neat to look at.

6. woke up bright and early on the 4th so jared could run the freedom festival 10k. jace and i saved spots for the parade while jared ran. we were there at 6:30 a.m. and pretty much got the last spot available. by the time the parade rolled down the street jace was tired and ready to go home. but we still love parades and enjoyed watching it. after the parade we took some much needed 4th of july naps.


7. enjoyed swimming and bbq with friends and family later in the afternoon. jace entertained everyone by dancing to the music and then jumping into the pool over and over.


8. we continued our tradition of watching the fireworks at thanksgiving point. i'm pretty sure they were smaller this year than they have been. lehi must have been cutting back. but they were still amazing for a two-year old.

9. we have our first ultrasound in a week. i'm anxious to see if everything looks good (and if there is more than one baby in there).

10. happy tuesday!
