Lagoon

Last Tuesday we made our annual trip to Lagoon. It was a ton of fun! Kayleigh enjoyed it so much this year. She was so excited to go and so sad when it closed and we had to come home. We went with my parents, brother, sister and her two girls. Unfortunately, my dad had to leave in the afternoon because my brother just didn't want to stay any more.

We started out the day at Lagoon-A-Beach and spent a couple of hours there. Kayleigh really loved the little kiddy slides they had. After getting all changed then we headed into the rides. Kayleigh went on every kiddy ride she could, and some more than once. It really was the perfect day, not too busy and lots of shade in the kiddy part. I think her favorite ride was Puff, even though if you ask her she'll say it was the Carousel.

The worst part of the day was when Kayleigh and her cousin Grace rode the boats. They were in the same boat and if you know those boats there is only one bell in each boat. The girls were fighting so bad over the bell that the attendant stopped the ride so we could take them off. Every parent around was laughing and it was so embarrassing! These two girls love each other but they sure fight a lot, too. Poor Kayleigh was bleeding and they were so mad/sad. Once we got over that they were fine. They rode plenty of more rides together and as long as there wasn't just one of something to fight over, they were fine.

We took Kayleigh on the Log Flume and Rattlesnake Rapids. She didn't like the Log Flume, but enjoyed Rattlesnake Rapids. We all got pretty wet!

Even though I didn't ride a ton of rides, being pregnant and all, it still was pretty fun. I loved seeing how excited Kayleigh got as she rode the rides. Michael even won a stuffed pig and cow, which Kayleigh also thought was pretty cool. I can't wait to go again next year.

Sarcoma Awareness Walk & BBQ

On Saturday we headed up to Jordanelle (sp?) Reservoir to be with Michael's co-workers for the annual Sarcoma Awareness walk and BBQ. It was actually quite nice up there, it was a few degrees cooler than down in the valley. We went on a short walk and then headed down to the reservoir to take a quick boat ride. Since the lake was quite crowded we didn't ski or tube, just went for a ride. We enjoyed our time there and getting out to see some nature.

Belly pics

I managed to make it through my whole pregnancy with Kayleigh without ever taking any pictures of my belly. So, I told myself on round 2 I would do better. So, here ya go, at 13 1/2 weeks I already look like I did when I was 20 weeks with Kayleigh. My stomach muscles sure know how to stretch this time around. Oh well, I'll get over it.

Michael's 28th Birthday

We had a fun time in Park City this year for Michael's birthday. His sister and mom had the idea to go up there and ride the Alpine Slide, Coaster and Zip Line. It wasn't necessarily for his birthday, but it worked out that that day we could all go.

What was really too bad was the weather that day. It rained and was thunderstormish all day. We were able to do the coaster 3 times, but never the slide or zip line. Oh well, we still tried to have a good attitude about it. Kayleigh had a great time riding with us on the coaster and we had fun getting pretty much soaked!

What was really neat is that Michael's mom was able to get the sweet hookups for us that night! We all stayed in a 3-bedroom condo/hotel room for 100 bucks. And it wasn't just any hotel room, it was very nice with awesome views right in downtown Park City.

Happy Birthday Michael! (I know it's almost a month later now, but I am finally getting to it.) Thanks for all you do for our little family. Hope this next year brings lots of joy!

Big Rock Candy Mountain

The last week of June we went with my cousin and her husband (Matt and Jeni) down to Big Rock Candy Mountain. Matt's family has a house/cabin that is there all equipped with 4 wheelers and fun stuff. We headed down on a Friday morning and came home on Sunday. We didn't know what to expect, but it was really fun! We did lots of runs on the 4 wheelers and saw a lot of pretty scenes.

The weather was great, not too hot and not cold. At night we played games and watched movies. Kayleigh did a great job sleeping at night, naps on the other hand, not as well. She really took a liking to Matt, it was cute! Thanks guys, for inviting us, it was a lot of fun.

Baby Post

Okay, here's the sought after baby info. I am due the end of January. I am just hoping it doesn't come on Kayleigh's birthday, which is the 16th. I guess it would be fine if it did, but it'd be nice for the kids to have separate birthdays, too. At this point I am a little over 12 weeks.

I feel pretty good, thanks to Zofran. I haven't thrown up yet which I think is AWESOME considering I threw up a ton with Kayleigh. I have been very tired though, but I know that's completely normal. We are really excited at the thought of a little baby around again. We've got a lot to do to get ready, like cleaning out a bedroom, but I know it will all come together. First I need to find out what I am having and then we can get started on all that. I think I'll find out in September.

Kayleigh is pretty excited from what I can tell. She likes to tell people there is a baby inside Mommy's tummy and she is pretty set that it's a girl. She has said a couple of times that it's a boy, but mostly she says girl. If you ask her what she wants to name it she says Chico, which is a name of a baby on Handy Manny, silly girl! We don't really have any great ideas on baby names yet, but I'm sure we'll think of some.

And there you have it, all the information, that we know of anyway. We are excited! I am nervous to have two kids, but I know we'll adjust and figure it out just like we did when we started our family with Kayleigh.

I need to post

I need to write a ton! I'm way behind. More posts to come.
