Moving On...

It's true, we're moving :( Great Falls, Montana to be exact. Alax got a job offer out there and he'll be finishing up school while we're there. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm going to miss Utah so bad. I wasn't even this sad to leave California. We've made so many great friends while we were here, and It's going to stink not to be near my sister and her family anymore. I'm sad for Marlee, she's going to miss all her little friends so much. We drove up to Montana this last weekend to check it out, and see where we could live, and everything kind of fell into place right before we left. We literally found somewhere to live on the way out of town. It was a whirlwind, but I think it'll be really good for our little family. We are loading up the moving van on the 11th :( I wish we had a little longer here, but we know this is what we should be doing.  So if you're ever up in Montana, come and see us!!! :)

Baby Boy and Sick Girl

I am 20 weeks today and we had our big ultrasound this morning. We are having a BOY!! WHAT???? I thought for sure it was another girl. I am still in shock! I've already done a little shopping too :) I am so excited to have a little boy to add to our family!! Alax and I have NO idea what to name him though...Why are boy names so hard?? Any ideas?? Just look at this sweet baby!! :)

This last week we have been busy with a sick girl :( This is her on the way to the doctors...

Saddest sick face ever. Turns out she had a bad cold and an ear infection in both ears. So sad. She is feeling SO much better now, so we're all happy. Marlee can't wait to meet her baby brother, and always asks if he can come out yet. She's going to be such a great big sister!!!

Baby Grundy

Today I am officially in my second trimester!! Here I am at 14 weeks!

This morning I didn't feel as big as I normally do, so this picture may not really look like me right now, but I had to document this day :) I can't wait to start to feel the baby move, and find out if it's a girl or boy!!

On another note, tomorrow is mine and Alax's 4th anniversary! We celebrated today by going out to sushi (all cooked fish for me) and then we got a couple's massage. It was so nice to spend some time with just the two of us, and we realized we have to do it as much as possible before this little one comes. Such a good day :)

Color Run

We went to Virginia to visit my parents in September, and we had so much fun!!! My mom and I ran the Color Run, which was awesome!! It's the only way to run ;) It was so fun!! Here's a video if you haven't heard of it.

A lot of people dressed up crazy, and had cool knee socks, so my mom got us some fun ones too!!

Before the race, with our tattoos :)

so fun!!

Signing the wall

At one point, I felt like I wasn't getting enough color, so I did a chalk angel :)

SOOOOO dirty afterwards!!

We went out to eat right after the race, and we got a LOT of stares, and people whispering..It was super uncomfortable and awkward...
My mom was also super nice, and walked with me when I got tired during the race. She would have beat my butt if we were seriously running it. She's awesome. Hopefully I'll take some time today and put up more pictures of our visit.

:)

We are SO excited!!!!!!!

LOOK!!!! Makes me smile and tear up every time I look at this sweet baby :) We are soooo blessed!!! 4th of July baby :) which makes me about 9 1/2 weeks. I hope this baby is here to stay!! We are so in love already :)

Snow

It's been pretty slow around here lately, and even though I told myself I would start blogging more, there really wasn't much to talk about, so I'll just start today.
It snowed a lot last night, so Marlee and I had fun playing in it today. (Alax had to work today) It was so fun, and even though I knew Marlee was freezing, I had to force her to come inside with a bribery of hot chocolate.

 There were friends outside when we got out there!!!

Marlee liked eating the snow more than she liked playing in it.. 

Still eating....

Trying to catch snowflakes 

I taught her how to make snow angels 

LOVE this girl to death!!!

I had to throw this one in here, because this is such a classic "Marlee" Face. It cracks me up.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm SOOOO ready for Christmas!!!! :) All this snow has got me in the mood. :) 

Catch Up

I have been seriously neglecting this blog...I'm going to start doing more, even if it's just a short little entry.  So I have a little catching up to do!!
We went to a fun Halloween party at a friend's new house, and it was so nice to catch up with them!! Marlee is a ladybug this year :)

 Seriously, she can't take a normal picture to save her life....

Cupcake Walk

 YUMMM!!!

I dressed up too :) lol Pinterest has way too many ideas, and normally I'd be a cat or something..I thought I'd switch it up this year :) Driving over to the party wasn't awkward or anything...

We went and got pumpkins!! Can't wait to carve them! 

 First snow on Tuesday!!! Marlee LOVED it!

 Marlee is in her big girl bed!!! She's done so great!!

I still haven't blogged about my trip to Virginia..I'm the worst at taking pictures, so my mom has to send me some before I can do anything :) Marlee loved being near her Grandma and Papa!

 the Capitol

My sister gave me TONS of tomatoes from her garden, so I've been canning like crazy!! We won't run out of tomatoes for a VERY long time!

My sister took our family pictures last Sunday. These one's of Marlee were taken earlier that week, but she does such a great job!! I love every single one she took!! When did my baby get so big???
