Happy Birthday Matt!

Today is my AMAZING hubby's birthday so Abby and I got up really early to help him celebrate!! Matt and I were both surprised to find that Abby had a present for her daddy in her crib, lol. Abby got her daddy some treats for work, what a good girl!

Next up was our "BIG" gift for Matt. Abby was loving how big the box was that Matt's next present was in, lol. She also wanted to help her daddy open it and of course her daddy couldn't say no to that face.

We got Matt a brand new surround-sound system with blu-ray player! What a lucky little birthday boy!!

The next two pictures Abby took for us, what a smart little photographer.

Later that night we took Matt out to dinner for his birthday at Los Hermanos in Provo, a family favorite. We met up with my mom, Ryan, Chelsie & Wes, and Matt's sister Danielle who is living with us right now. It was nice getting together and spoiling Matt on his big day!

We had the staff at Los Hermanos surprise Matt with singing "Happy Birthday" it was too funny! The whole time Abby wasn't quite sure what was going on. It was only after they finished and they started singing for another table that Abby started to clap, what a funny girl.

We had such a fun night and hopefully overall Matt had a great birthday! I love spoiling my hubby just as much as he loves spoiling me! We decided that we are going to keep the fun going and this weekend we are going to Park City for a little "Birthday/Pre-Baby" Vacation! I can't wait!!

baby #2 belly pics!

My first official belly pic of baby #2! I am definitely showing a lot sooner then I did with Abby. I have started to feel baby a little more this week but it is still very subtle. It's exciting to get to these stages were you start to notice things a little bit more. Can't wait to find out how are baby is doing and what their gender is on October 19th!

Gotta Gush On My Baby!

I love Sundays! My siblings always come over to my mom's house and we just chill and relax and it's one of my favorite things! Yesterday while my brother and sister were tackling the overgrown lawn my mom and I watched silly Abby play with Austin's mini-skateboard and she had us laughing so hard! Luckily I grabbed her helmet before she took any falls. She is such a brave girl though cause no matter how many times she fell she just got right back up, that's my girl! Abby loved riding on the skateboard, made us all miss Austin a little bit more. By the time he gets home from his mission in Madagascar in October 2013 Abby is gonna be a PRO. 

I just can't help but gush on my little Abby girl. She is the most amazing thing to ever happen to me! Of course I can't help but thank the man that brought me this little girl. Needless to say meeting him and having Abby were the two greatest things I could ever ask for. Abby is the smartest little girl I know. I know I am a bit biased being her mom but seriously I think she is so smart for her age. So many people can't believe she is only 1.5 (well 20 months technically) they think she is so much older. She even knows her ABC's! Ok so she can't recite them perfectly in order but if you say each one she says it right back and sometimes she can just see the letter and know which one it is. The other day she saw two V's together and said "double-u" how stinkin smart is that! She knows so many words now I can't keep track. She is really quick because if she doesn't know a word I will say it to her and she get's it right away. She loves her mommy and I have to admit it is WONDERFUL! I love being able to make silly faces at Abby and both us will just start laughing. She is incredible and I am thankful everyday I get to be her mom. I know she is going to be the most amazing big sister and love her little baby brother/sister more then anything. I love you Abby Ruth!

Onion Days!

Labor Day is pretty big for us Payson people with it being our weekend to celebrate our city. We call it Onion Days (not really sure why) but we have a parade and carnival and all sorts of fun activies the whole weekend. I had Labor Day off so I joined my siblings for the parade and we had a blast! I don't think Abby had so much excitment in her life, lol. What a fun day! I am so glad I have such an amazing family to create such fun memories with.

Baby Degi's Heartbeat!

Yesterday Matt, Abby, and myself had the opportunity to listen to little baby degi's heartbeat and it was great! Well maybe great isn't the best word to use with how ornery Abby was yesterday but it was still a great experience. I can't blame Abby though, we had waited over an hour and half to see the doctor and Abby was so tired and just worn out. By the time we saw the doctor she was done, lol. She started screaming and crying and the poor doctor could barely get a word in. However he did all the measurements, had us listen to the heartbeat (through Abby's cries) and said everything sounded great! I was hoping Abby would be able to hear the heartbeat too but she was too upset. Matt and I did get to hear the heartbeat and it was great!! We are so excited for this little guy/gal to join our family! I can't wait for the ultrasound in 7 weeks, though I think this time we will have someone else watch Abby.
