{Trae's 2nd birthday party was a couple of weeks ago. It was so much fun! We did a Sesame Street themed party. I loved all the fun colors! Trae loved having all his friends and family here to celebrate with him. He got spoiled with gifts from everyone! Thanks to those that made it and to those that shared this special day with our little man!}

{Now did you happened to notice Trae's shirt in some of the pics????

if not it says "BIG BRO"!!!!!

Yep that's right Trae is gunna be a big brother in February!

We are very excited and nervous to be parents of 2!!

So as of now I'm 12 weeks pregnant & feeling pretty dang good. This pregnancy has been exactly the same as Trae's.....nauseated if I don't eat 24/7, a little tired and super ornery! Running and my usual workout have become more difficult and sleeping is not so easy! But over all not too bad. Hopefully by next month we will know the gender of our little peanut! We are so so so excited!!!!!!!

( Okay so these pics are a documentary mainly for me to see how huge I get but its also fun to see the belly grow, I did this with Trae and love looking back at it!!!)

Then Saturday we had our nephew, Jake's baptism and Sunday the 4th my sister and her hubby blessed their baby, it was beautiful & nice to have the fam all together!

On Monday we had a delicious BBQ & fireworks with of course the annual tank war, notice how cute Trae's & Mp's are this year. We had a wonderful and very eventful weekend, loved spending time with our families!

Last Thursday I turned the big 28!

I celebrated my old age(ha ..:) by heading to St. George to see my family. Mp went on a camping trip with his buds so me & T came here for the weekend, I wasn't about to celebrate alone! We were sad not to have Mp here especially on my big day, but we are happy he had fun with the boys!

My all time fav place to eat down there is ParotHead, its an amazingly delicious Hawaiian grill! Here's the gang.

Okay so your probably thinking, why is the world did she take a pic of her food? well I just wanted to share how good it looks! yum, it was to scrumptous! seriously best place ever!

And for my birthday gift, a much needed adorable new diaper bag!!!

We had tons of fun down in the heat! We went swimming at Grandma's, played in the water and fed the ducks! Trae had tons of fun and I had a wonderful birthday weekend!!!!

********************************

And while we were enjoying ourselves there, MP was having a blast camping with his buddies! Here are some shots he got on his man trip!

I just wanted to post a Fathers Day shout out to MP , my dad and my FFIL & all the other fathers in our life! What wonderful men they all are!

For Father's day this year we wanted to get an updated grandchildren picture for Mp's dad...lets just say getting 9 kids to smile and all look at the camera is not the easiest thing to do but it turned out perfect anyways!

& of course a pic of Trae~

Happy Father's Day!!!!!

{ last week our poor little man was having so much fun playing in the car that his foot got smashed in the seat!! He wouldn't walk on it for days so we took him to get x-rays and the results were a minor fracture, (good thing I would feel so bad to start summer fun with him and a broken foot!) so he had to wear this bad boy slinge thing until it felt better !and the good news is he started walking on it yesterday!}

{Over the weekend one of my very best friends, Melissa (in the middle in black...yes I know you can't even tell she is due next month!lucky girl!)
had a baby shower, it was so fun to see all my girlie friends from high school!

We are so excited for her and her hubby to welcome baby Koa}

{Then right after the shower we went and stayed at a beautiful resort up at Wolf Creek with some of our neighbors. It was fun, the boys loved swimming...we are so excited that it's finally warm and can't wait for tons of more fun over the suMMer!}

Last Monday while I was shopping at Downeast's tent sale (which I got some amazing deals...3 adorable dresses for $21.00!!!) I ran into a girl named Meg that I went to high school with, we exchanged info to keep in touch and I feel very inspired to share her amazing story & courage!

Her website is www.MegJohnsonSpeaks.com
