Life Update

So I thought I would blog about what is going on in my oh so exciting life. I recently changed jobs and started working at Cogent Health / Comp Today. At Comp Today we process prescription claims related to workers compensation. My title is a pending specialist. I gather needed information for pending claims so they can be processed and paid. I love the people that I work with and the environment. I get to work with cute Missy Beckstead so that is a plus. I am still helping with the tire stores on Saturdays to solve issues and tie up loose ends so I don't really get a day off but Sunday, but you do what you got to do! Well, I am now 19 weeks! I can't believe I am almost half way. I have been feeling little flutters since around 14 weeks, but this past week I can really feel some kicks and movements! I can feel them on the outside now which I must admit kind of scares me. I keep trying to get Rich to feel it, but he always misses it. She stops when he puts his hand on my tummy. Ha! Ha! I am not worried. There will be plenty of times to come. We are still tossing some names back and forth. We have two in mind at the moment, Emma Jean or Haylee Jean. Who knows! We still have some time. I have started to work on quilts and the crib bedding with my mom and Ashlee. I am crazy and making it all. I just could not find anything as cute in the stores to buy. I guess I am too picky. There really is so much to do to get ready for a baby, or maybe I just make it that way because I am a crazy. Well, ta ta for now.

I Can't Wait!!!

ITS A ...

GIRL!!!Yes, that is right! We are having a girl and are so excited! Rich was not so thrilled at first considering he was 100% sure it was a boy, but he really is so excited for his baby girl to get here!

Our baby is an active little one! She was moving all over the place for us. She was waving her hands and arms and rolling over. She sure did not have a problem spreading her legs and letting us know she is a she, but she would not show us the front of her face. In this picture she is arching back and yawning. It was so precious!

She is saying hi to everyone!

We were able to make sure she is a girl from every angle. I am so glad she was cooperative. It was so amazing to see this little baby move inside of me. We can not wait to meet her!

AND THE BEAT GOES ON ...

Just wanted to update all of you on the pregnancy. I am still feeling a little sick so my life is so so boring these days, but I think it is getting better. I just want food to sound good again. Sorry that I don't have much to blog about. Anyways, I went to the doctor last Tuesday. No ultrasound, but I heard the heartbeat when the baby wasn't moving all over the place! The doctor had to follow it around. Too bad I can not feel anything! It was so comforting to hear that fast and strong beating heart. I go back in four weeks and there is a big possibility that we can find out the sex of the baby. Yay! I can not wait! If we don't find out at my next appointment I think I am going to make a trip to Fetal Fotos because I can't stand to wait another four weeks. Cross your fingers for a girl for Rich! Ha! Ha!

Our First Trip To The Doctor!

I am a little late with the latest news regarding my pregnancy! We went to our first doctor's appointment last Tuesday. Our doctor is wonderful! His name is Bryant Brown and he did such a good job at making me feel more comfortable. He did not waste any time giving me some drugs to help with the morning sickness! Yay! Me and baby are doing great! We were able to see our little punkin and the heart was beating strong! We also heard the fast heartbeat. I think it truly sank in for both Rich and me when we saw our baby. What a miracle! It was so amazing! I think Rich was really excited too! He is still very determined it is a boy. He says that is why we were able to hear the heart so early on, because it is a strong boy! We will have to see. As for now, I am still dealing with being sick, but the pills sure help. My tummy is starting to change and feel different now and that excites me. I can not wait for the weeks to come!

A Special Anouncement!

Wait for it ...
Yep! You guessed it ...

OUR TRIP TO BEAUTIFUL OREGON!

For 11 long days we traveled to Oregon by truck with Rich's fam for a family reunion that is held every five years. The reunion was held in the mountains of Hyatt Lake for the first five days. It was so fun to stay in our tent and play cards day and night. After camping we stayed at Rich's mom's cousin's house near Medford, OR. They have the most gorgeous home with a swimming pool and everything else you could imagine. We took a boat ride down the Rogue River, hiked through the gigantic trees of the Redwood forests, stopped at the beach, and visited Crater Lake. It was so beautiful in green Oregon! See you again in five years! P.S. I am flying next time!!! Enjoy the pics! I hope to add more. I took 382! Sorry they are not in order of occurance.
I love this picture! Our cousin Brando, sister-in-law Kristy, and our cousin Jeni stuck in the sand!
Notice we are on the edge of a cliff! It was scary, but so pretty!
The clan hiking in the Redwoods
Beautiful Hyatt Lake where we camped for 5 long days! This was taken from our campsite! What a view we had!
Just had to take this pic of the animal proof garbage cans in the Redwood forest!


The most gorgeous lake ever ... Crater Lake! It was formed by a volcanic eruption that colapsed into a crater. It then filled up with water from rain and snow! It is one of the deepest lakes in the United States and the prettiest blue you will ever see!
So beautiful!!!

The ocean on the Oregon coast. I have to say this was my favorite day! I just love the sand in my toes!

Memories of You and Me...

This is alot of fun...
It is now my turn to hear a few memories about you and me. It is going around from blog to blog and is so fun remembering some good times. It will be fun if people play along!

Here's how you do it-

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

(Yes, Lindsey, 18 years is a long time so you can leave a few!!!)

Well anyone in that case can leave more than one if you have a few.

I LIKE IT, I LOVE IT!

The Tim McGraw concert was the best concert I have ever been to! It was so awesome that I wanted to cry! We were so lucky to have gone and are so thankful to our staffing company, ISI, for treating us the whole night! When Tim sang the song, "If You're Reading This..." there was not a dry eye in the whole place! It was moving! I did not want the concert to end!
My cute date for the evening! He looked so hot in his cowboy attire!
Just waitin for the show to start...
We parked in a totally different parking lot and entered the concert in a different entrance. It was so nice not to have to fight the crowds. We had a private bbq when we got there with our friends from Innovative. It was yummy! Then we headed to our suite to watch the concert!
We parked by all of the semi-trucks and the tour buses. We were told that there are 17 semi-trucks and 12 tour buses in all for Tim's crew.
He is the man! He is so hot! Those pants were so tight and looked so nice, but his pants and belt were bugging him all night. When he was done doin his thing, we watched him walk off the stage, untuck his shirt, and rip of his belt!
This was the best concert! He put on a great show!
This is just a pic of the stage before Tim came out. The sun was finally going down and it was cooling off. Thank goodness!
The guys that control the lights. I had to take this pic. I thought they looked funny sitting up there!
Jason Aldean is a hunk too! He was one of the opening shows. Halfway To Hazard opened too. I had never heard of them, but they were awesome!
What a good pic! He was posing just for me! Ha! Ha! Yeah, right!

Just thought this looked cool! It's Tim McGraw's shadow!
Tim had some gold bling bling on his wrist. It was kind of weird, but he looked good and sounded awesome! He was so nice too! He took time at the end of the show to sign a bunch of autographs for the people on the front rows. He was signing everything from shoes to hats. Oh! And he did not forget my old bishop and dentist and his whole family. They had about 8 seats on about the fifth row. My dentist worked on Tim's tooth last year when he was in town so Tim treats them evertime he comes to SLC! They even get to hang out with him before the show and eat dinner with the band. How would it be?! He really is a "Real Good Man"!

Lake Powell

Two of a kind! I can not believe how much Rich is like his Dad, Rick.
Our houseboat! This baby holds 180 gallons of gasoline. At $5.27 a gallon, it was not cheap!
Precious! This is Rich's new best friend, Dylan. Dylan just loved him and Rich thought the world of Dylan. Every time Dylan saw Rich he would say, "What up, dude?" He entertained us!

This is a picture of the man-made "stairs" that the indians carved so they could get up the rock walls.
I have to say that I am getting better at wakeboarding. I can go outside the wake, but I still crash and burn trying to make it back across.
Me again. The water was so nice! It was so warm and smooth as glass! I did not want to get out of it!
Dylan and his big sister, Jaycee. They are so cute! Jaycee is 10 going on 18! She is a firecracker, but so fun! She tagged along with me most of the trip. I was one of the kids always swimming with them, going off the slide, or jumping on the water trampoline. Dylan is 4 and so smart! We all thought he was older than he was. Rock on, Dude!
Rich just wakeboardin' it up! I just had to have Rich take the pic below. I thought it was appropriate. Ha! Ha!

Rich's dad invited us on their family vacation to Lake Powell. Rich's dad has a huge house boat and we also had a ski boat to have fun with. It was Rich's dad and his wife, Colleen, her son and his family, her daughter and her fiancee, and their friends and kids. Oh and don't forget Colleen's mother! Rich and I really enjoyed being with his dad and got along so well with everyone. We have made some new relationships and feel so much closer to his Dad. It was so fun and we were so lucky to have gone!

AUTO RALLY

We went on a "run" with our neighbor Abe and a bunch of his buddies. They are all in a car club. I am not sure what they call this club, but the "German Car Club" would work. All of the cars are German cars and consist of Audis, Volkswagon GTIs, and BMWs. There were about 20 cars in all.
The line of cars exiting the freeway.
My favorite ... Audi S4 ... Brand new! Do you see the camera man hanging out of the silver GTI on its side. Ha! Ha!
Just a look at all of the cars on the freeway. Take a look at the S4 Wagon in front of us. There is a camera man hanging out of the red GTI if you look close!
Just waiting to get on the freeway. I popped out of the sun roof to get a good pic.
Just chillin on the side of the road.
