Santa Run 2011

Travis has been running and losing weight every day, and a few weeks ago we thought it would be fun to sign him up for a 5k. We looked online and the only one that was coming up any time soon was the Provo Santa Run. The fun thing about this run is that all the runners have to dress up as Santa! I made Trav sign up and yesterday was the day of the big race! Here are some photos and videos for you to enjoy.

Our Home Video Tour!

We finally got somewhat settled into our new home, and so we put together this little video tour to show you what it's like. It's kinda long so we had to split it into two videos. Here ya go, enjoy! :)

It's a BOY!

October 31st was an exciting day because it was Halloween, but it was even MORE exciting because I had my 2nd ultrasound and we got to see our little baby and find out that he's a boy!


I know whenever I look at other people's ultrasound pictures it all just looks like weird blobs and I have no idea what's what. Hopefully you can make out what some of these are!

Side body shot- You can see his spine with the head on the left, and his legs are folded under him on the right side. The black mark in the middle is his stomach.

Exciting News

The past few months have been pretty crazy for Trav and me! This is my excuse for not posting a blog in so long, and for this one being so short. Two major things have happened since my last post:

1.) We found out we are having a baby! The due date is March 25th and we are SO excited. The ultrasound where we find out the gender is on Halloween!

16 weeks- I'm not just getting chubby, there's a baby in there!

2.) We bought a house in Provo! We are moving in this weekend, so we will be packing like crazy this week and doing lots of things to get ready.

Our new home sweet home. :)

Two wonderful things I am very grateful our Heavenly Father has blessed us with!

June Pics

This was a fun month for Trav and I. I don't feel like writing much right now, so I'll just share some pictures with you. These first ones are from our trip to the zoo with Justin, Lisa, and Ella.

Dance Off

 Back in April, Trav's cousin Megan Joy did a concert here in Provo at the Riverwoods outdoor shopping center. She sang a bunch of her songs, which were awesome! She is coming out with an album this summer and we are looking forward to it.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Keeping warm

After she sang, they had some people from the crowd doing dance competitions for prizes. This one girl volunteered and they were trying to find someone to compete against her. They tried picking people out of the crowd but they all said no. The girl started looking pretty bummed and we both felt kinda bad for her, so I told Trav that he should do it, and to my semi-surprise, he did! Luckily I had my camera with me and was able to capture the moment on video for you all. I like how Travis doesn't mind doing silly things at his own expense to help out others. :)

Afterwords when Trav and Justin were walking around to find us a restaurant for lunch, someone chased down Travis and gave him a gift certificate to a girly boutique as his prize for participating, which he then passed on to me. Sweet!

Mama Mia!

A while ago Trav and I decided to make our own pizza at home for dinner. We went to Winco and got some pizza dough, sauce and toppings. We had one round pan but we had two pizzas we wanted to bake at the same time. We didn't have a pizza stone, so Trav called his dad and asked him what the best way to bake a pizza was. He told us to just put it on the rack in the oven. However, he thought that we were baking a frozen pizza... and this is what happened:

Top: How NOT to bake pizza. Bottom: How to bake pizza.

The pizza dough drooped down between the cracks and as it baked, it actually baked around the wires on the rack. We had to pull the whole rack out and then cut the pizza off of it! Thankfully, we now have a pizza stone that Trav's parents lent us (thanks!) so hopefully there will be no more droopy pizzas in our future.
