Catching up!

We have had a busy couple of weeks! Adam decided to use our computer keyboard as a wrestling mat for his animals, so it has been getting fixed for the last 2 weeks. I have a lot to catch up on! Adam and I went to California the end of June to spend a week with my Grandma. We went with my mom and little brother Andrew. It was hard being away from Eric for so long, but we had a good time seeing family and friends. I got to watch lots of musicals with my Grandma which really reminded me of growing up. Whenever Grandma stayed with us when I was growing up she would always bring new musicals for us to watch together while we worked on projects. Adam had fun playing with Uncle Andrew and loved pushing Grandma's wheelchair around and was very curious about the buttons that made her bed move up and down. I told her that if I found her folded like a taco, not to blame me! I just have a very curious child!
My cute Grandma Wanlass
Adam loved his swimming pool Grandma got him!
Adam got to meet his cousin Levi. They both share
a love of cars. They had fun crashing them.

He is so my child! He was very into a Doris day movie one afternoon.

3 days after we got home we left again for Utah to spend the 4th with our families....my last trip before the baby. We went to the parade in Provo first thing in the morning. Adam loved the cars, horses and fire trucks!! It was so fun to watch him get so excited.

Adam spent the afternoon wet and eating
watermelon!

Adam and Annie...we arranged their marriage

over the weekend.

He wasn't too sure about the fireworks. He stayed
outside for a while, but then joined Uncle Danny and
Ares in the doorway where it was safer.

Uncle Matt recieved his Eagle Scout Award while

we were there! Way to go Mattman!!!

Since I have been home I have been busy! This past week I have made 4 quilts and 2 burp cloths. I have also made curtains for Adam's room and for the kitchen. It has felt so good to accomplish so much! This week I am tackling the babys room.

We also "introduced" Adam to the big boy potty today. Wish me luck!!!!

Baby Tessa

I saw my new doctor this past week up in Idaho Falls and we did another ultra-sound to check my placenta. No change there, but we got this great picture of Tessa! Amazing what they can do these days. We are even more excited to have her here now that we have seen her.

30 weeks!

I will hit the 30 week mark this week! Only 10 more to go! I am feeling so uncomfortable the last couple of days. I don't know if I will make it another 10 weeks. This little girl is a wiggle worm! My Mom said she is already a little gymnast like her mommy. I laughed when I looked at these two pictures together. My how I have grown!! This is my 19 week shot at the beginning of April. I thought I was big then!

Weekend Fun

We had a fun Father's Day weekend! We took Adam to the tiny zoo here in Idaho Falls. Adam was so excited...especially to see the elephants. He was disappointed that they didn't have any. This is his excited face when he saw the first animal! He loved the monkeys, zebras, lion, tigers and watching the otters swim under the water. It was fun watching him get so excited over the little things!
Later that day we went swimming and Adam LOVED that! After 10 minutes in the water he was ready to jump in by himself. Eric had fun playing with him....I watched! I thought I would spare the world the horror of seeing me in a bathing suit right now.

Loving our Saturday afternoon!!!

We Made It!

Well, we made it to Idaho! What a week! I am so glad it is over. Everything with the move went really smoothly thanks to our awesome families! Eric's parents and brother Ryan helped us load the truck on Thursday, we spent Friday in Utah County and then my parents helped us unload the truck in Idaho on Sat while my brother Andrew kept Adam busy. Before my parents left on Sunday we were pretty much settled, with a few minor things to unpack and organize. I am glad to have it mostly done. We really only have pictuers to hang up and we are done! Adam has done really well with everything going on. We set up his big boy bed the first night here and he has done pretty well with it. My biggest challenge is that he can get out, so naptime tends to be a battle. He loves his new big boy room and spend hours playing with his toys.
He had a hard night our last night in St George. This picture is him eating his lunch on what we left out of his bed. On Thursday night we slept on the floor of our living room in St George and by 1:30am he was in hysterics because he wanted his whole bed and his bedroom. Finally at 3am, Eric took Adam's mattress up to his empty bedroom and Adam went right to sleep. This kid likes his space. So far I LOVE Idaho! It is beautiful here and I love the area we live in! We had a rude awakening this morning when Eric went to work. This is how we found his car! Yes my friends, that is SNOW!!! Let me remind you all that it is JUNE 11!! The high today is only supposed to get to 53 degrees-a far cry from the 97 degrees we had last week in St George. Needless to say we are wearing socks and long sleeve shirts today. It is supposed to warm up later this week. I am planning on a rough winter. Other than that, I am excited to be here and start our life in Idaho. It has been so wonderful to have Eric work "normal" hours and come home happy and with enough energy to play with us. That will be the best thing about this move!
We feel very blessed to have had everything work out so well with the move and the opportunity for Eric to get this new job. The Lord has been very mindful of us and we are grateful for it! Come visit us in beautiful Idaho! We would love to see you!!!

Disappointed!

I had my 28 week appointment today and my doctor did another ultra-sound to check my placenta to see if it had moved. No such luck. He said it still would need to move about 4cm and even then it would be cutting it close and not worth the risks of a vaginal delivery. I am disappointed and frustrated. I was really hoping it would move. I just keep reminding myself the most important thing is to get the baby here without complications. I have a lot to worry about this week with the move to keep my mind off it it. But, I am still pretty bummed. Maybe cake will make me feel better:)

Happy Birthday Adam!

Sunday we celebrated Adam's 2nd birthday! We can't believe he is already two! He had some of his favorite food for dinner....lasagna, mashed potatoes, carrots and rolls. Gross combo I know, but you only turn 2 once.

We got him a Mr. Potato head and he was so excited! He is very into those right now thanks to Grandma's Darth Tater and Toy Story. He got right to work!
He blew out both candles all by himself!

After attempting to pick up the cupcake without getting messy, he decided to dive right in.
In the end a spoon worked the best!
To end the evening, Adam found the Indy 500 on tv and was thrilled!! We let him watch for a little while before bed. He was so concerned the cars were going to crash. He sat in his chair for about 25 minutes watching the race saying, "Vroom Vroom!" as the cars raced by.
Happy Birthday to our cute big boy!!!
