Beautiful Baby Bump!

Here it is, a picture of the baby bump. This is at 20 weeks and I am now 25. It has gone by so fast! I love being pregnant and I have one active little guy in there. He is moving a lot these days. Our family is so excited. Nathan hasn't really caught on to the whole idea of a baby. But he is pretty smart and does notice that there is something different. He really likes other kids and is especially drawn to babies so we are hoping that sticks when our new guy becomes a part of our family.

My family brings me so much joy and we feel so blessed to have our family grow. A baby is truly a miracle and gift from heaven. I absolutely love being a mother and cherish that role. We can't wait to meet this new little guy!

Summer Fun

We have had an awesome summer full of swimming, playing outdoors, spending time with friends, family visits, and trips to the Zoo. Nathan really enjoys being outside especially to play in the sandbox Ryan made for him. He also really loves swimming and has progressed so much this summer. Nathan and I have been doing parent-tot swim classes together but now he is ready for private lessons. We are so proud of Nathan. He is such a big boy and growing so fast. Just within the last months he has increased his vocabulary, learned how to climb and jump off all of the furniture, and many more fun things. He is all boy and loves anything with wheels. We have had lots of fun times this summer and ended it with a short trip to the Unitas. It was beautiful and so refreshing and Nathan is a good little camper.

6 Happy Years

Ryan and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on August 8th. It is amazing how quickly time passes and a lot has changed since that special day. Each year just gets better and better. Our family is truly blessed and we are so happy that it is growing. Nathan has brought so much joy to our lives and we can't wait for our new little boy to arrive. Ryan and I are so happy to have found each other and we can't wait to spend many more years together.

As we went to dinner to celebrate we were reminiscing on what it was like when we were first married. We had a lot of laughs about that. Especially when we thought of our first place together which was the lovely University of Utah student housing. We have grown and learned a lot about each other and we have had fun on the way. Marriage is truly a wonderful gift.
