HoLiDay FuN!

I feel like every time I update my blog I'm commenting on how quick the month has gone by, and I'm gonna say it again. I can't believe December is over and it's already 2012! December honestly went by way to quick, but it was filled with lots of fun stuff. The first 3 weeks, BJ had medical school interviews. One a week. So lot's of traveling for him, but we're just really excited that he has been getting interviews and feel really optimistic about starting med school next fall! And then before we knew it, Christmas was here! I always love decorating for Christmas, seeing family and friends, and just the happiness of the holidays.

Christmas Party with the girls!

Temple Square. Love it!

This year we spent Christmas in New Jersey. We did lots of fun stuff and had a great time being able to spend time with BJ's family. The first day we got there we spent the day in NYC and went and saw "The Rockettes" perform at RaDio CiTY. I loved it! Then we walked around New York and saw all the fun windows the stores set up and went in to different stores. We also went and saw the new World Trade Center buildings and the memorial they've built for 9/11.

Christmas day we got up and opened a couple of gifts before church, then went to church where I sang in the choir for the Christmas Concert... I sure love to sing and am real good:) it was fun though, then went home and opened the rest of the gifts, ate dinner, played games, and watched a movie.

During the week we went to Washington DC and saw some of the monuments there. I loved it because I've never seen any of these places in real life, but the weather was quite awful that day. It was pouring the entire time so for the first time I got to wear a rain poncho. Then the next day we spent the day in Baltimore. The weather was much nicer, but pretty windy if you can't tell by my crazy hair:)

We spent New Year's Eve and Day with my family and Tiff and Billy back in Utah. Tyler and Laura had us all over for a delicious homemade Cafe Rio style dinner, games, and celebrating the upcoming New Year! We played Just Dance 2, Catch Phrase (the girls lost both times, but we definitely played harder and deserved to win), and Texas Hold 'em.

Haylee loved Just Dance and pretty much danced to every song.

This past year was amazing and we're really looking forward to the fun adventures we'll have in 2012!

Cancun and HaLLowEEn

I can't believe it's already November! It seems like October was just barely starting and now it's over. We did a lot of fun things this past month, maybe that's why it went by so quickly! I have a lot of pictures I want to post, but I don't really want to comment about each one so here's the breakdown of what we did in October...went to Cancun for a week, which was a blast and very relaxing! Went to a pumpkin patch, carved pumpkins, made glitter pumpkins, went to some Halloween parties, had a new cute nephew that was born, went to Corn Belly's maze at Thanksgiving Point, watched a couple of fun/scary Halloween movies, and did all these fun things with friends and family! I think this time of year is really fun, but it does make me sad that it's getting so cold outside, oh well.

Such a cute family!

BJ is such a good sport!:)

SepTeMbeR

So I realize that it's already halfway through October, but there were a lot of things that we did/happened during September that I want to post about...First on September 3rd, we did our first triathlon! Granted, it was a sprint triathlon, so not your typical full length one, but it was still fun. The run was a 5K, the biking was 16 miles, and the swim was only 350 meters. I needed to start out small considering I've never real swam laps before:)

Look at that beautiful form! ha ha

I wish I could've taken more pictures during the race, but that's kinda difficult to do.

Then later in the month BJ had a birthday! I threw a surprise party for him with some friends and family and then on the weekend I took him to the circus up in Salt Lake. Unfortunately, my camera died at the beginning of the circus so we couldn't get many pictures. I always forget to charge my camera, I should work on that.

Last, but not least...BJ and I are havin' a baby! This didn't necessarily happen in September, but we wanted to wait till I was 12 weeks along before we started telling people. We told our families over Conference weekend and it was a lot of fun and exciting to be able to finally tell people! I'm now 14 weeks along and am due April 14th. We both just feel extremely blessed that I was able to get pregnant and for how well everything has gone so far. I feel like everyone posts pictures of their pregnancy progress, so I wanted to too, even though I dislike taking pictures by myself so I felt awkward, oh well:) So here's 14 weeks and only 26 more to go! I feel like this is going to be a really long pregnancy with me counting down week by week.
