The Beach!

So it is Labor Day morning and I am going to catch up on some blogging finally. The last couple weeks we have not had internet and then we went on vacation so that is my excuse...as far as the last month before that I have no excuse.

So I will start with a beach trip we had back in July with Grant's family. Heidi's family was here which means so were her two cute kids Jackson and Daphne!!!

Grant surfing! I was proud of myself for catching these pictures.
How cute is Jackson? He has the cutest personality and the cutest little face!
Haha...like how I waited to take a picture of us until I had a sweatshirt on :)
They are sooo cute!

We Are Having Twins!!!!!

Yes it is true....Grant and I went to find out the sex of our baby yesterday and to our surprise TWINS, a boy AND a girl!!! Grant and I both got what we wanted, Grant his boy and me a girl:) It was for sure the biggest shock of my life.

So we go in and I'm laying there and the ultra sound specialist looks at me as soon as she starts the ultra sound and says, thinking I already knew..."So you're having twins." I look up at her and say...."Is that a Joke?" She then says with a big smile, " No I have twins, I wouldn't joke about something like that." Then I start laughing uncontrolably waiting for her to say just kidding but she kept saying it. She thought it was hilarious that we didn't know. I am 18 weeks along and had no idea! She was really darling and made it really fun. So then I look over at Grant and Grant is laughing just like me. We couldn't believe it. The lady had to ask me to stop laughing so she could finish the ultra sound...haha. It wasn't easy. So of course we are so excited but scared at the same time. I'm sure it will all work out.

I will post pictures of the babies once I figure out how to scan them and all of that. They are so cute! The boy was laying on his stomach and the girl was on her back. The boy was kicking the girl in the head. Grant said look he's already beating up his little sister. So exciting!!!!

I'm Pregnant!!!

So for those who don't already know, because I have a big mouth and I am horrible at keeping secrets, Grant and I are expecting and we are so excited! I am due January 13th, really close to my birthday. I just hope this morning sickness goes away soon because it has been horrible. Anyways just wanted to share the exciting news :).

My Trip to Missouri!

So my sister and her husband Bobby went on a cruise with some friends..... so I got to go up to Missouri to watch my cute nieces! I LOVE my nieces so I was so excited. We had sooo much fun and I hope I get cute girls just like them. It was so hard for me to leave. They were so adorable and so much fun to be with. My sister told me that I would either leave being excited to have kids or the exact opposite depending on how they behaved haha, well I left wanting kids even more than before and I thought that was impossible.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

It is my dad's birthday today! My dad has always been there for me. Here are a couple things that come to mind. When I was gone at college, living in Utah, he would always call and make sure everything was going well. I remember driving home from Utah by myself a couple times and having my dad call every hour to see if I was alright. I thought it was really funny. It meant a lot that he cared so much. I also remember waiting to find out if I got into University of Utah and their ballet program there. My dad couln't wait so he kept calling the chairman of the ballet department to see if I got in. Finally she had answer for him. After he got the answer that I was accepted, him and my mom picked up some balloons, took me out of school and took me to my favorite restaurant for lunch. I remember my mom laughing at him while we were at lunch telling me how he had kept calling the poor chairman. I had no idea.

He is so caring and so supportive. I am so grateful for him and for all he does for our family. He is such a good example to me and I feel so blessed to have him as my dad. Happy Birthday Dad!!!! I love you!!

My sister Annie's birthday was on Monday. She turned 16!! Beware Annie, you are my next blog.

Cooper as a Puppy

I can't believe how fast he has grown. Cooper is almost 6 months old now and we couldn't ask for a better dog. I wanted to post these pictures of Cooper since I didn't have a blog when we first got him. He is the neediest dog but I love it. He follows me everywhere and loves to fall asleep on Grant and I all the time, as you can see in some of the pictures. He is the sweetest dog and we love him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANT!!!!

What a stud muffin. Ladies back off he is taken. This picture always makes me laugh. I see modeling in his future haha. Well today is my man's 24th birthday! We are going to see the movie Knowing, and then we are going to Grant's favorite restaurant Carino's. They have really good Italian food and their bread is really good too. Those of you who know Grant and and his obsession for bread are seeing now why it is his favorite restaurant.

Grant, I just want to let you know that I think you are wonderful in every way. I really hit the jack pot with you. I love you so much and hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!!
