Poll

Go vote in my poll about the gender of our baby. My ultrasound is scheduled for November 25 so get your vote in before then! It's on the right hand side of the blog.

Playing in the Leaves

We have an insane amount of leaves in our front yard so we let Holden play in them yesterday. He obviously had a blast. Just wanted to share a few pics.

Trunk or Treat

We went to a Trunk or Treat on Saturday that was held by my mommies group (http://www.saltlakecitymommies.com) and West Jordan City. It was crazy, but lots of fun. Here are a few pics of him doing some fun things.

He loves getting his face painted. He sits very still and then tells you what is on his face for the rest of the day. It's pretty cute.

We also had a balloon hat made for him. We figured since he refused to wear his costume he could at least have something fun on. He wouldn't smile for the camera at all, but he still looks cute.

A Few of His Favorite Things

In honor of Holden's upcoming birthday I thought I would post some of his favorite things.

He loves every sort of ball right now. He likes to name which one it is (baseball, basketball, etc.). And he also likes to watch the sports with Daddy.

He is also very into cars & trucks. And right now is especially interested in fire trucks and police cars.

And anyone that knows Holden knows he loves Elmo. He is in heaven when he wears his Elmo slippers. He will be having an Elmo themed Birthday Party this year.




He is obsessed with trains and especially Thomas the Train and his friends right now. He always wants to watch it on tv and to play with trains at other people's houses (we don't have one yet). He loves to wear his Thomas shirt and pj's. The trains are by far his favorite thing right now.

He also loves playing outside. He would play on his bike or wagon forever if we let him. And I vow to never have a sandbox. He loves to get dirty and throw sand in his hair and all over the place. He always wants to play in his friend Landon's sand box when we go to his house.

Happy Anniversary to me!

Seven years ago today I married my best friend, my wonderful husband Tim. We have certainly had our ups and downs, but I'm so glad to be married to such a wonderful man. We are in such a great place in our lives and I'm so happy that I am still with the man that I love. I love you, Tim!

13 weeks and counting!

Fingerprints have formed on my baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If I'm having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. My baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

I've been lucky with this pregnancy (well all of my pregnancies) because I don't really get sick. I am way more tired, and I get nauseous occasionally, but that's pretty much it. I'm excited to get out of the first trimester and hopefully get a little energy back.

Hunting

Oh how I hate hunting season. LOL. Tim left tonight to go elk hunting. He's been looking forward to it all year so I'm happy for him. But he won't be home until Monday night which means it's just me and Holden all weekend! I'm sure I'm going to need some me time by the time Tim gets back. At least Tuesday is my birthday. That means he has to do some pampering, right? :)
