"We made a baby" Contest

Image from Google Images'

We find out on Friday the 22 whether Guppy is a Boy or Girl!!! The doctors office is making me wait until 21 weeks. Grrr.... I realize that "back in the day" you had to wait until the little thing sprung forth from your womb...but I am a modern day girl, who LOVES modern technology. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MY BABY IS!! I think boy, Brian thinks girl. Either way, one of us is right:) BUT, we would like to take a poll to see what you think. We are keeping track of peoples guesses...and the closest person will win a little prize, no matter how far away you live.

SO, in the comment box...leave the following information to enter the "We made a Baby" contest.

Gender, Weight, Height, Date, Hair Color, Eye Color.

Just for your guessing info...

I was 6lbs 11 oz and Brian was 8lbs 14 oz.

We are due March 7, 2011

Good luck:)

Boise State vs Virgina Tech Football Game

For those of you who do not know....my husband is the BIGGEST BSU fan. Ever. I think his blood is actually orange and blue. SO, in order to win wife of the year award....I humored him and we threw a wild BSU kick off party. Brian has been planning this for MONTHS, and has been counting down for football season since the second it ended:) Therefore, for BSU's first game of the season vs Virgina Tech, we decided to go all out. (PS...this was on Labor day. I am a wee bit behind)

Here is the set up. EVERYTHING had to be BLUE & ORANGE.
Brian even bought big bag of M&M's and we went through and pulled out
all the blue and orange ones:) Obessed?? Maybe.

Here is the grub. Blue jello, orange jello, Sunkist, Blue Mtn Dew, Blue koolaid, Blue veggie dip, blue corn chips, queso dip, bbq and chessey looking chips, wings, kabobs, sausage...you get the point....all man food, and all BLUE AND ORANGE. I must say, my honey bunz is quite creative.

Brian hugged that football for most of the third quarter and all of the fourth. He was quite stressed. I guess this was a big deal:) Here he is, talking to his family back in Boise. They were nervous and sweating as well. They ALL are HUGE fans!

Throughout the evening we had 30 people show up. It was quite intense. We held the shin dig and my parents house....with a TV upstairs and downstairs.

Here are our good friends Matt and Keri McGhee... we forgot to get pictures with Jake and Suzanne, who are one month behind us in their pregnancy!!!

THANK GOODNESS they won. It was touch and go there in the end. Brian and a bunch of other guys were pacing around the basement...I think they wore a hole in the carpet:) Here is my little bump as of early september...trust me I am MUCH bigger now. I will post a picture soon to prove it. The littlest bronco is growing:)

In case you are dying to know, BSU won 33 to 30....and beat them within the last 2 minutes of the game. Needless to say, my baby nearly cried he was so excited.

Go Broncos:)

In case you were wondering...

Pregnant women should NEVER watch chick flicks. EVER.
Especially alone.



I bawled through P.S. I love you. Seriously.....sobbed.

Introducing Guppy

Hi, my name is Guppy. I am just over 2 inches long and I weigh 1/2 ounce, I like to compare myself to the size of a lime. I am over 12 weeks old and growing big and strong every day.

When my Mommy first went potty on the stick...and it came out positive, my Daddy couldn't believe it, and made her take another one...2 in 1 hour! Then a couple days later, she had to take another one! My silly daddy. A postive is a postive:) BUT, he is so excited to meet me. He talks to me all the time and rubs my mommy's belly when she is feeling yucky. He's going to be so fun:)

Now that you are all excited to meet me, let me tell you a little bit about my wee self.

I enjoy anything with potatoes, especially mashed. I think I get this from my Daddy; he is from Idaho. I guess I am his little "spud" or "spud-let".

I haven't craved much sugar, but trust me....my time will come. However, don't tell Grandpa Davis, but I do have a hankering for M&M's every once in a while. Especially the Pretzel ones...again, they have salt:)

I am not a fan of Alfredo Sauce or Ham...even the smell puts me over the edge. Honestly, even the look of white sauce on anything looks nasty. Maybe someday i'll like it...but SICK, not now.

I love my mom and dad's bed and enjoy a good nap. However, I do make my Mommy get up 100 times a night to use the little girls room....I find it quite funny. I make her think she needs to go, so she runs in there...and just a wee trickle comes out. Then I throw my teeny little head back and laugh. Someday she'll think its funny too. I just gotta remind her that I am still in there.

I am not a huge fan of car rides, and I let Daddy and Uncle Lance know that last week on our road trip to California. How do I put this tactfully; Mommy barfed her guts out. I was proud of her for not getting it in her hair or all over the inside of the car. However, I don't think Uncle Lance and Daddy enjoyed the show. I felt better, that's for sure.

This past week I decided to pop out a bit and show Mommy and the rest of the world that I am in here and growing. Mommy's not huge yet, just getting a little bit of a belly. However, I don't feel bad. I need the space. I have a lot of work to do in here.

I am waiting until October to spread my tiny legs and show the world what I am made of. I love driving my parents crazy and not exposing myself until then. My daddy swears up and down that I am going to be his little princess, and Mommy thinks I am going to be her big football star. Mommy and Daddy already got a little excited and bought me an outfit...one for each flavor. I love having my own little secret.

I am planning my trip out of this nice warm uterus, sometime early March. The Dr says March 7th....but I have plans of my own. My mommy has her own idea on when she would like me to come...but I'm making the travel plans. This is a big day for me, I want to be fully cooked and ready for this grand entrance.

Today Mommy and Daddy got to hear my tiny heart beat. The Dr was pretty great and didn't make Mommy strip down and put those funny looking gowns on. I for one am not a fan of those....I feel cold and invaded and I am pretty sure my Mommy isn't a huge fan either:)

Well, like I said...I am busy growing, moving and shaking...so I must be headed for bed. I've got a busy agenda this week of developing my reflexes. Do you know that this week I am able to curl my fingers and toes.....that is why I was finally able to get this email out. I no longer have webbed fingers. Aghhh what a relief.

Well this is Guppy signing off. Hope you all feel like you have gotten to know me better.

For those of you who are a little slow....and need a little explanation....
I'M PREGNANT!!!

Hello...anyone home?

Whoops. Where did the time go. I have updates. I have pictures. I don't have time. Sweet cheeks and I are headed to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite on Saturday, and therefore I have swamped. BUT I do feel updates coming. Where has summer gone? I swear I am not lazy, just busy. I know, crappy excuse. Forgive.
Maybe if you all left comments on how much you missed me, loved me, wished you could be me....then I would feel more inclined to blog. :) J/k don't let my head get any bigger, I already know how much I mean to all of you. I am truely amazing.
Unless I get eatten up by bears this weekend, talk to you next week.

Freedom Run 5K

On July 5th, Provo City held the annual Freedom Run. Brian and his family have been participating in many events over the years....but this year the only ones that could attend were Brian, Me, Carly and Brian's Sister Krista and her two kiddo's. We got up at 5am, and left the house at 5:30am. Needless to say it was early and a wee bit chilly. Who knew we would be shivering in JULY! I am not sure why the pictures are so blue, except for that it was too cold for the camera:)

Carly was a champ and ran the whole thing by her self!! She only came in 5 minutes behind Brian!! GO GIRL!

Wow, I look like death in this picture.
Krista and I ran together, at a steady normal pace. :)
Brian made it in 25:10!!! Go babe!! He usually does the 10k, but wanted to hang back with the common folk. Maybe next year:)
Afterwards we headed to Spanish Fork to have breakfast and lunch with Granny & Gramps Hansen. Brian and I crashed like babies in the grass and fell asleep for an hour:) It was marvelous.
Hope everyone had a fun and safe 3/4/5th of July. Which ever day you celebrated:)

7 Peaks

Last weekend my Mom had two free tickets to Seven Peaks Water Park and gave them to Brian and I. It was so nice to be outside and just relaxing in the water. The park was fairly busy, but we were still able to make it on some rides. I felt like we were teenagers again!! I still get giddy about rides and themeparks:) We were only able to be there about 4 hours, but well worth the trip!

Emmett,ID Fathers Day 2010

Father's Day weekend, Brian and I headed up to Emmett, Idaho for a family gathering. We were able to see his three sisters and their families aswell as Brian's Parents:) We had a great weekend, filled with games, amazing food, games, and some more games. On Saturday we went to the Cherry Festival; went to a baby animal petting zoo, drank delicious Slush Spins and watched the Gem County Parade. It was SOO much fun to be with Brian's family and to be outside!! Hooray for Summer! (Finally!)


One of the big reasons for this weekends visit, was to meet the almost new Brother in Law. Alicia, Brian's younger sister and Aaron are getting married in SEPTEMBER!! So of course we had to start planning the wedding!!! (Alicia is sitting next to me, holding our nephew Christian and her so to be hubby is sitting next to her)

Here is exactally half the fam. We are missing two brothers, one bro in law, one sis in law and 6 kiddo's. Maybe next time!!

Here are the sissy's...(Me, Rachel, Alicia & Krista) I could not have asked for a better in-law family. I am SOOO blessed! This picture isn't quite complete, we are missing Deanna...hopefully I can meet her at the wedding this September:)

We had a great weekend, and it went by way to quickly. Luckily we get to see everyone in a couple of weeks!! Thanks Mom and Dad for a great weekend! We love you!

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

On Monday, June 7 my sweet cheeks celebrated his big 3-0. I had to work all day Monday...but I woke him up with donuts, chocolate milk and mango/orange juice....and the Indiana Jones box set. He was thrilled:)
Little did he know, the fun wasn't going to stop there.
I threw him a "surprise gathering"...because I wasn't allowed to throw him a surprise party:) We had a great time, with plenty of food and a fun game of SCUM on the pool table.
He was surprised....and still loves me:)
Happy Birthday Baby. Just think, 30 is the new 20. :) Love you!

LOOK AT THOSE CANDLES!!!
Don't worry, the fire department was on standby.

GOOD JOB BABY!! (he almost needed an oxygen tank...poor old guy:) just kidding.

Moab- Memorial Weekend

For Memorial weekend, my family headed out to Moab for some fourwheeling and camping. We had two trailers and one BIG tent. We ate, played in dirt, played games and hiked...and I think we slept somewhere in there, however I am not quite sure:)
Friday night we got there and went on a short ride and played games.
Saturday we went on a long ride and went into "Hey Joe" Mine...it was quite the adventure climbing in and out...you basically had to scoot on your stomach!

And here is a picture inside the mine...Only my parents, Carly, Brian and I went on this ride, it was too long for the kids.

It was huge inside...really dark and back in the mine divided into three tunnels! CRAZY!
On the ride home, I got a little heat sick, and barfed up starbursts on the side of the trail...bummer. After a ton of water, rest and gatorade...I was feeling like brand new that night.
Sunday we headed over to Arches National Park and hiked to the delicate arch (the one on the utah license plates)....it was quite warm, but had a great time!

Everyone including the children came....Koda loves her new little backpack:)

We think we are so hot!

Here is the family picture:) I swear my mom is in there...she is just hiding in the back:)

Meet Kaleb...my little 3 month old nephew....isn't he a doll?? I love this little kid!

This is Koda....she is my little buddy. I love living right next to these kiddos...we have SOOO much fun! (She just cooled off with a refreshing Capri Sun)

I seriously love this girl!!! She loved playing in the rocks and fourwheeling...my kinda woman:)

Where is dad??

We all voted that this was the cutest little wedgie anyone had ever seen:) PS....don't you love my hair. Fantastic!

Koda LOVES fourwheeling....and couldn't get enough of it. She went on a special ride with grandpa and grandma...and totally fell asleep...grandpa had to hold her head up the whole ride back. AND...incase you were worried, she was wearing a helmet, it just wasn't working with the camera:)

Here was our little home. Landon and MaLese slept in the trailer with the babies, mom/dad and carly slept in the toy hauler and Katie/Cory, Bri and I slept in the Castle on the rocks (tent). We had a great site, with hardly any bugs....seriously, we saw like three!! It was great!

Here is Katie and Cory....don't ask. We didn't, we just took pictures:)

Helmet Heads....I felt like a mario kart racer:)

Monday we went on another family ride and then while the rest of the family headed home, Brian and I headed off to Canyonlands for a little site seeing....


We had such a great weekend! Thanks Mom and Dad!

By the way...I am going to try and be better at blogging...I have been getting in trouble by alot of you:) I honestly don't even have a good excuse anymore:)
