Thing 3!

Since Thing 1 and Thing 2 just haven't kept us busy enough...

Thing 3 will be joining our family soon!  

Due: February 5, 2013!!!!

I'm 12.5 weeks and no longer needing a daily dose of Zofran to get through my day!!!  Gotta love the 2nd tri! 

We are so excited!!!!

The rest of our Colorado Adventure!

We loved the rest of our time in Colorado!  I loved the cloudy skies and the rain they got!  Rain is such a novelty after living in AZ for 3 years!

The girls LOVED them some uncle time!  Ryan just by chance also came home for the first week we were there!  He is living right now in New York for the Army!  We missed Britt but it was SO good to see him and the girls LOVED rough housing with their uncles.  Ryan left really early one morning and that night at dinner McKenna was super confused and said "Hey... there used to be 2 uncles."

One night I taught my mom's young women how to make fondant, Ryan was leaving the next day so I quickly decorated the cake for Ryan :)  Out of anybody on this earth... he is the one person that makes me REALLY REALLY laugh... the kind that hurts your abs!  Love you Ryan!  Glad you were there!

Our second week there was a little tricky since my parents are getting their house ready to sell, there was CONSTANT workers at the house including painters, carpet cleaners, window guys, etc. etc. etc... and roofers that pounded and pounded all day long!!!  It drove us all Carazy!!!

So we found lots of stuff to do outside the house with Grandma and Grandpa!  the girls got lots of one on one time with them and they just ate up every second with them!  McKenna even got Grandpa to play barbies with her... if you know my manly dad... then... woah!

We had so much fun and it was SO great to have my fam there to help us pass our first couple weeks without Chris!  I was so grateful for all of their help and willingness to give me a break to get my run's in etc!  Love you all!  We are now in UT for the rest of the time until we can meet up with Chris!

Happy July 4th with the Dalbys!!!

 On Chris's Birfday... the day before the 4th, Kristina drove the girls and I to the airport so we could head to Colorado!!!  The girls were SOO excited for our travel plans and SOO excited that they got to go on the airplane!  This was my first time flying with both the girls by myself.  In the past I have STRESSED when I just had one of them.  I didn't even worry for a second this trip.  Both of the girls are at a good age that I knew they'd do fine!  Plus... now that I'm experienced I knew just to have plenty of bribes and shows on my laptop to keep them occupied!

Can't you just see their excitement.... haha... I loved it!

 

The push pops, gummy worms, and Strawberry Shortcake movie totally worked!  They were great!  Their favorite part was taking off and landing.... oh the landing!  You know how you scream and holler when you are on a roller coaster or some other ride... that's what they were doing!  It was really funny, cute, and embarrassing all at the same time!

 The next morn was the 4th!  I was THRILLED to wake up and go running in the non-Arizona heat... it. was. awesome.  And I have only missed a day since!  Then my parent's ward had a pancake breakfast and Grandpa, as tradition, was in charge of the pancakes or as we like to call them... "Dadcakes."

McKenna was thrilled they had her most favorite toy to play with... rocks... such a novelty! :)

 

And Adyson Isabelle was thrilled with the Dadcakes!

 They were both thrilled just to be outside not in AZ heat!!!

 After naps we headed over to the park with Grandma, Uncle Ryan, and Peanut!

 

 

 The girls thought it was the most fun thing in the world to "walk" Peanut... even though we really know that Peanut walks them! :)

 There were no fireworks for us this year since 99.9% of the state was in flames.  Instead we had a night in with mom's homemade pizza and I made a flag cake.  My Dad said he was "Pleasantly shocked" at how good it was even though it was just a cool whip topping hahaha!  And yes... there are 50 "stars" :)

 After putting the girls to bed me and all the boys headed over to see the new Spider Man and my madre offered to stay home with the sleeping babes!  So nice!  Thanks Mom!  Shockingly I, the girl, was the only one that enjoyed the movie... who woulda thunk?!  Not me!

The brother's were MORTIFIED that I wanted a picture in the theatre... too bad hehehe My Dad even had to take it twice, and this sadly was the best one because we were all cracking up!

If it doesn't make it onto the blog did it ever even really happen????? :)

It was a great 4th and I'm so glad we were able to spend it in CO!  More trip updates to come!

Chris Update:  He spent His actual birthday at the first day at the hospital! Then that night he said he treated himself to a Chinese buffet.  I think his exact words were "I could have written a book titled... "The sad story of the morbidly obese, alone customers at a Chinese buffet."  Kinda sad!  Happy birthday honey :)  The 4th he wanted to make sure he was on the night shift so he could see any excitement the fireworks might bring in!  (My parents thought that sounded kinda morbid to be excited about injuries but hey... the boy's gotta get experience somehow! Apparently they had an entire area sectioned off for burn injuries. 

Happy 4th everyone!  Hope you didn't spend it in the ER :)

An Early Birthday!

On July 3rd Chris will be 28! Unfortunately he is leaving for his first audition rotation for the whole month of July so we can't be with him. :(  He just left a few minutes ago but I'm trying just to pretend it's not happening!  He will be in Tulsa, Oklahoma so wish him luck and send good vibes his way!  It's pretty nerve wrecking to have to make such a good impression!  To do an Emergency Medicine residency you have to have 3 letter of recommendations from 3 different EM residency programs.  It is also a chance to check out a program you are interested as well as get in good with them!  He will also be doing a month in Las Vegas, Nevada and Springfield, Massachusetts.

To celebrate his BIRTHDAYNESS early, Friday we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Kristina, Parker, and Derek!  Of course it was a blast with such quality company :)

I had told the girls before we went that Daddy would have to sit on the horse saddle and we could all say "Yee haw!"  They took a zillion years after our check to finally bring it but don't you worry.... we waited!

Then we came back to our place for cake and ice cream.

Chris blowing out the candles...

Kristina and Parker came with gifts... a card and gift card to YARD HOUSE (Yum) for Chris and like always.... they spoiled the girls.  Kristina had been board studying and Barnes and Noble and she had told me earlier that there were these princess books by the front of the store that she always saw and thought of McKenna and Adyson.  So her last day studying there apparently she couldn't resist!  We are so lucky to have friends like them in our lives!  They really have become family to us and we love them so much!  They have been McKenna and Adyson's adopted aunt and uncle!  We can't wait to party with them at their wedding in June!!!!!  Kristina won't be living in AZ for 4th year and just like Chris leaving... I'm just pretending that it's not really happening... it's much easier that way!  I HATE goodbyes.

Derek has also been an adopted uncle!!!  The girls love him and we are so glad he is going to be here this year!

Happy early birthday to Chris!!!!!
