Its a....

GIRL!!

First comes love..Then comes marriage...

Then comes the baby.... :) That's right! We're having a BABY! I'm 14 along weeks now, due April 15th (yep, that's tax day... Gregg thinks it's funny because i like to plan everything!). We couldn't be more excited. I had mentally prepared for a few bouts of morning sickness and an occasional throw up. Fortunately i've only been extremely tired, and HUNGRY. Good thing Gregg will eat anything, because I'm too tired to cook anything that takes more than 10 minutes. 

I can't believe how much I sleep! I take naps in my car at work during my lunch break, and wake up so hungry I snack all afternoon. I get so tired at night that my usual "stay up late until the work's done" mantra was out the window a long time ago. 

I'm not showing too much yet & so far I've only gained 2 lbs. We've had ultrasounds at every appointment and have heard our babies heart beat 3 different times. It still feels surreal for Gregg, but he's not the one gaining the weight. Of course both our families are very excited for us, and we feel so blessed to have their love and support.

Gregg wants a girl, but I'll be happy with a healthy baby. Let's all pray the baby doesn't have Gregg's big head for my sake... and the babies, of course. More to come...

We're Moving

Ok so the rumors are true. We are moving away from this beautiful place. We've called Laguna Beach home since we got married 2 1/2 years ago. We have loved every second here and will miss it so much. We are moving to Arizona at the end of October. Gregg's company has opened up a new sales area in Phoenix and has asked Gregg to run it. We are excited for the change and look forward to the opportunity we will have to live closer to my family. We're not sure exactly where we will be living yet but my brother Matthew has been kind enough to let us crash at his new house for a bit while we figure it all out. So we'll keep you all posted. 

Girls Weekend

The week after 4th of July my mom and my 2 sisters and my niece & nephew drove out from Arizona for a Girl's weekend. It was so fun to be all together again. Its been a long time since we've been able to have all 4 of us together at the same time. We had a BLAST! We went to the beach, the Laguna Sawdust Festival, The Long Beach Aquarium, shopping down town Laguna, we got our eyebrows threaded, painted our toes & nails at midnight, made homemade pizza & pasta and just had the best time. My mom & my sisters are my best friends I miss them so much! (I only had my camera for 1/2 the time. You can see more pics of the girls weekend on my sister's blog Frost Family)

We all got toe rings. This is one of my favorite summer traditions, it was fun to share this with my girls!

Guess what Gregg did while the girls played...

4th of July & Family

For the 4th we spent the weekend with Gregg's family. His mom & sister Robyn and her cute little family drove down from Utah to spend the week with us. We had so much fun!

Our weekend in Tahoe

Gregg and I just got home from a fabulous 4 days in Lake Tahoe. Our good friend Sarah was getting married in Reno and she planned a wonderful fun filled weekend for us all. We stayed in Tahoe just at the border of California & Nevada. 

Our hotel was NASTY. We found this little place for $24 a night - I know, I know...what can we expect for $24??...Well let me just say we got what we paid for...

I expected things to be pretty sketchy so I brought our own sheets

Yes the bathroom is pink...Pepto Pink!

"The Bride Ride" - on Friday morning Sarah set up a mountain bike ride at the Flume Trail. It was 14 miles - 5 of which were up hill and pure hell. I thought my lungs were going to explode...the hardest thing I've ever done.

Once we made it up hill things got much better - the view was awesome.

Half way though the ride we came across a rope swing - all the guys went for a ride.

Me & the bride Sarah

After I was able to catch my breath I started having so much fun!

Gregg showing off his sweet moves

On Saturday morning we drove to the Reno temple for the wedding. It was so wonderful!

The beautiful couple - Sarah & Jared Swanson

After the wedding Gregg & I spent the afternoon in Reno

We ate lunch at this yummy pizza place...Gregg was enjoying the fresh grated Parmesan cheese

After lunch I took a nap in the car and Gregg went fishing

Saturday night was the reception. It was held at the National Automobile Museum in down town Reno. For so many reasons this was by far one of the most enjoyable receptions we've been to.
