What in the Cherry Tree !!!!

Before I begin the saga...let me introduce the clan! (With exception to Lulu, who ya'll know) these are the Boyz! These are my main men! These are my best friends! These are the brothers from anotha motha! This is my adorable husband Jeff, and introducing the blogging world to Abe, my favorite, most talented, funniest, VERY good looking, SMART, thoughtful, creative, patient and ever loving brother!

And this, is the feast of lasagna, bread sticks and salad! Count on a pregnant woman to know whats for dinner!

Ok ok ok! Enough of the jibber jabber. With Abe, there is never a dull moment, and his 6'5" height proved to be quite the value after dinner.

We strolled in the back yard to enjoy desert, and well...read the rest!

What to our wondering eyes should appear, but a tiny hornets nest,

with all the accessories at best

So we ran to the garage, to see what kill-er we had,

came out with the Raid, and pro baseball brigade

Then we hit it and RAN!!!

And hit it again

To be pleasantly suprised, and to our astonishing eyes, we had defeated the hornets,

and all the little eggs to !!

So eat that, you cherry savaging, no good stingin

do good-er!

(No cherries were harmed in the production of this event)

A MUST read

Ok ok ok. So before everyone gets all riled up, let me first say, this is NOT a picture from me, or Lucy, or from any point during that pregnancy. 

This, my friends, is a picture from google images. 

So, you ask, what is the point? 

Well, as a matter of fact, we are pregnant! Yes! This is NOT an old April Fools post! We are expecting! I am just past the 12 week mark, 3 months, which means any day I will begin to feel a tad more normal. Let me say its been rough, but alas, it all comes to an end! 

We are so so thrilled, and CAN'T wait! 

I'm due very beginning of December, and Lucy is more then excited! 

They will be 14 months apart, which is perfect! (At least for us!) 

So, if you begin, or have already begun to wonder, was that just baby fat left over in her gut, or could she possibly be pregnant, yes, after all those crazy days at the gym, I am now gaining back what I already lost! BUT I am so in love with Lucy! I adore her! I just can't imagine loving another child as much!!! I'm sure I will, and we just can't wait! 

We'll keep you update, as the weeks fly by! 

The Great George

Jeff, Lulu and I headed out on Thursday night for St. George. We were lucky enough to stay at Jenna's parents home. Jenna has been my chum and friend for nearly 100 years! Thanks for the place Jenz! 

The following are a few pictures of what would turn out to be a perfect weekend! 

Yes, this is Jeff with Lucy. She now lives for adventure. Thrilling hikes and amazing motorcycle rides.  We went on this great day hike, up a slot canyon. It was pretty quiet, which made it all the more enjoyable.

                                                          This smile just proves it all!

NO one looks more excited then Lulu for our trip to George! She loves this backpack.  

It is so fun to be married to someone who loves everything I do, just as much as I do. (Well, with one exception, he's not crazy about food, but I'm getting over that) We just enjoyed 

our selfs to the max! 

Well, don't let those hiking pictures fool you. We also made some time for RandR. This is the little cutie, loving the pool. It was a kiddie pool, so it was warmer then the big one. It took her a bit to figure out that it was for fun, but I think she's gunna be quite the fish. 

Oh yeah, and did I mention she loves to eat?

Movie after movie, we loved every one. It was the end to most of our days, after Lulu had gone down for the night. The best recommendation I have is for the movie, I think its called "The Queen".  Fantastic!  must see, and a true story of the reign of 

Queen Elizabeth.

Oh, lest I forget, we went to a little place called Colorado City. I won't go into any details, and if you haven't heard of the place, you've really been out of touch! 

This car is Jeffs most prized possession, and I was so devistated when it actually made it through the hole trip with us! Rats, the silly thing just won't die. 

All the signs, on the driveways and such said "No Trespassing" even on this church. What a crazy place. I guess those we saw looked happy enough. Good for them. 

All in all, we had SUCH A GREAT TIME!!! It is so fun to get away, do whatever you want, and know that you are with the people you love the most! 

On our way home, we stopped for a BBQ at the Sanders home. I forget how much I miss being with family, until I'm with them. We had such a great time, and Lucy is gunna LOVE playing with her new cousins! 

All in all, a perfect weekend. I could not have asked for more! 

A need for SPEED

What is this? Yeah! Lulu's first ride with daddy on the bike! Its a great thing my parents are clear across the world....

Lucy loved it. She has  a need for speed! We only took her around the neighborhood, and no more then 15 mph's.

She could not be our daughter if she didn't love the bike! Well, we may have made an exception. 

See ya'll on the the street! 

5 AMAZING years!!!

OH my lanta! Here we are, a beautiful baby, and 5 years later! 

  What a fantastic ride! I may have even gotten married earlier, had 

someone told me it would be this wonderful! 

I adore Jeff, and every single day am finding something new to love about him! 

Sweet baby Lucy, October 19th 2007, and now 17 glorious pounds of smiles!!! 

         We have had so many adventures since we've been married:

     Denver

France

New York

San Fran.

   Vegas

      Both of us graduating!!

Hawaii

 

                            The list goes on, Scotland, London, Philidelphia, Mexico, Zion....

I would not have chosen ANYONE else in the world

to be with on all these adventures besides Jeff!!!! On top of all these 

       years and places, we've developed not only love, but friendship!! 

       I love you Jeff, and CAN'T WAIT!!!! to spend the rest of forever with you! 

CHOW DOWN!!!

This is our little muncher! 

She loves to eat crackers, but gets really mad when she can't get more in her mouth. Sounds like her mother! She has just been DARLING lately. She is talking a lot, just words like dadada and I'm convinced that she knows what that means, as she adores Jeff. We are just having a great time with her! She is just growing so fast! She is just 6 1/2 months, but only fits into 12 month clothes, on most things. I guess she's tall, and for that we should not be suprised! 

Spa Day

So, what is more cute then baby toes and hands....PAINTED baby nails! Lulu loves to get her fingernails cut, so today, I had the nail polish out, and figured I'd give it a shot. She held so still, and watched every stroke! Thats my girl! 

They are bright read, and look darling! She looks pleased enough, right?

The little things we love

Is this the cutest thing ever? I was thinking how big she was getting, but this reminds me that she is still my little sweetie, and although she is doing many things (including reading :) ) she is still a baby! Darling!
