HOLY COW!

Why did they have to change the way we change our background? They say it's much easier to use, but it just screwed everything up and I had to take more than an hour trying to get it back to normal......thanks blogger. I hate you!
(needed to vent...so frustrating)

What A Weekend!!

This has been an insane weekend to say the least. Not that it was bad, it was just filled with a LOT of stuff. First of all, Friday night we had a "sleepover" up in Midway where Josh's parents are staying during their trip back to Utah from England. We BBQ'ed Italian sausages and ate breadsticks and soup along with them. Then Saturday, after breakfast and hanging around til lunch, we went to eat at Ruby Tuesdays in Park City. Then we went shopping at Tanger's outlet stores.
Sunday- Josh, Matt (brother-in-law) and Linda (mother-in-law)played a music number for Grandma Woolfenden's ward. Then we went to Grandma's and had a mini baby shower for me since this is the only time for Linda to have been here for it. I posted most pictures on Facebook of the gifts but this is a bassinet we are borrowing from Josh's cousin Emily.

We also had a Hawaiian Luau for Linda's birthday with the whole family.

Monday (for Linda's actual birth date) we first went to the zoo. I love the zoo and the animals, but wish they had more big cats. :( They no longer have any jaguars and those were my favorite as a kid.

Then we had a small lunch at Wendy's. Then headed over to the Gateway for more time with Josh's family. (got to make the most of seeing them while we can) We spent, I believe, 7 hours there! LOL We just browsed the shops and bought some things. Josh FINALLY got me a Build-A-Bear (the last time I wanted to get one we were in California, but then I figured it would cost more there) I decided to get a Build-A-Bear Monkey for our little one when he arrives. Here's a picture. We named him AJAY for Aidan Joshua. I love his little outfit. Aidan can play with him as an infant without the clothing (monkey is really soft) and then we can put the outfit back on when he's too old to play for it and just display monkey in Aidan's room.

Wow, full weekend with lots of eating (holy cow!) but most importantly spending time with Josh's side of the family. Linda won't be able to come back for the birth of Aidan (really, how can she judge when to come back from England and if she did--would Aidan really want to come at the time she is here...it's sad, but that's how it's going to have to be)

We will SKYPE a lot though so they can see Aidan on the computer until they can come back and hold him in their arms!

not much going on

Well, this won't be an exciting post, but here's what's been going on.
Josh and I had a Cableas credit card (that we have stopped using) but we had about $82 in points to spend over there. So we decided to buy a 4 burner BBQ. Because of using the points, we only had to spend $139 of our own money. It's fabulous! The box it came in was just SLIGHTLY too large to fit in our car, so I had to run to AF and see if my dad would be willing to bring his truck so we could get our grill home. He did it on the spot, thanks so much Dad! Josh put it together yesterday and we had our first grill yesterday too. (Just wish we could have eaten outside but it was cold by the time it was ready to use)
Josh's parents are flying in late tonight from England for a 2 week visit. Too bad this is a busy time for Josh's work so we couldn't take any time off. Good thing it's Memorial Day next week so we don't have to work that. Josh's mom wants to go to the zoo because that day is also her birthday. Josh wanted to get our front flower area all prepared and planted before they came, but with the crazy weather we have been having lately that never happened. It will sometime this summer though!

It's a baby.........

.....BOY! Found out today! He's quite the mover! So cute! I very much enjoyed the whole ultrasound experience!

San Francisco

We left Utah around 7:30 pm to start the 11 hour drive here to beautiful San Francisco! We arrived here at 6 am California time, checked into the hotel, waited for 7 am to get the breakfast they were going to be serving, and then came back to the room to get some much needed sleep. Josh can't sleep in cars and I (mostly) can, but the pregnancy made it harder.

Josh woke up at (not sure what time) and I didn't get out of bed until 1:30 pm. A long time to sleep, but being in a bed instead of a car was a lot more comfortable.

This is a view from our hotel and I took it when we arrived at 6 am.

I took a picture to show how much "sleep" Josh got on the trip here. Poor guy. I feel bad for him.

Well, so begins our vacation here in San Francisco! I am going to have a lot of fun for my last vacation in who knows how long after the baby comes.

nursery ideas??

I am trying to decide what to do for a nursery theme. Josh doesn't want to paint the walls, so I'm not sure really what to do.
My grandma is making me a quilt with a duck on it, so maybe I should do ducks. I've looked at wallpaper strips but I can't find any that I really like.
Any ideas? Anyone?

new post LOL

I didn't know what to call it. Well, I can't believe I am already 4 months along. I can't wait for the next part of my pregnancy--finding out the sex of the little one. We should be able to find out sometime during the week of May 10th.
Josh and I decided we need to go on a mini-vacation since we won't get one for a long time after baby comes. We decided to go to Denver. I have never been there so it will be an all new adventure. We already have something called a "ghost walk" planned to go to. This guy who has written several books on Denver takes you on a 2 hour walk to a place that was built over an old cemetery. I found a website for this butterfly pavilion that I want to go to because Josh has been fascinated with butterflies ever since he was a little kid. So we most likely will go there. We will be traveling with Matt and Amy (Josh's brother and sister-in-law) because we can get in a Marriott Hotel for cheap with Matt's discount. (he works for Marriott)
It will be a fun little trip at the end of April.
