First Ultrasound!

Yesterday we got to see our little baby for the first time and hear the heartbeat! I know these ultrasound pictures are hard to look at even in person, so I know it's probably hard to see copied to the computer! haha! But here it is! Surprisingly the doctor said the baby is measuring about a week later than my due date, but she said due to other reasons she still wants to keep my same due date for now... So it's still May 25th! I am now about 12 weeks and almost done with my first trimester! And I am feeling it too! I can already tell that the sickness and tiredness is already starting to wear off a little bit... Which is great for me cuz I'm WAY behind on my house work!

Last Week...

Last week Ava and I went with my mom to visit my sister Wendi and her family in Provo, UT. We had a great time! It was fun to hang out with her and my other sister, Kati, who is living up there too! We always have a great time together! Ava and Tyler, my nephew, are only about 10 months apart so they get along pretty good and have fun playing together. (well, most of the time! haha)
Thanks Wendi for letting us stay with you for a while! Hopefully we will see you guys at Christmas! Love you! And also thanks to Amber for stopping by to visit! It was great to see you and Ryan! We miss having all of you guys closer to home! Hopefully we can visit again sometime soon!

Then yesterday, Saturday, I had the opportunity to go to Time Out for Women with my two younger sisters and my mom! Thanks mom for taking us! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot! And I'm glad I could experience it with you, Lesli and Emeli! I'm so lucky to have such an incredible family!!

Me, Lesli, my Mom, and Emeli!

Halloween!

Alright, so I'm a little late posting our Halloween photos... Sorry!
Ava was a Princess, (of course) and she loved every minute of it! She was very good at accepting everyone's compliments all day! Halloween afternoon we went to Chris' work Halloween party. It was pretty cool, they had a few of the floors in the building all decorated and the kids went trick-or-treating from cubicle to cubicle. Then they also had games and stuff in some of the rooms. Ava played musical chairs and WON a big cake as first prize! It was pretty exciting! She had a great time! Plus, we'd never been to up where Chris' work before so it was nice to see where he is all day everyday!
Then that night we went to our wards Trunk-or-Treat at the church. It was kinda all chaos... but we still had a good time. All in all I'd say it was a great Halloween! It's so fun now that Ava is really old enough to understand and have fun with it! Can't wait for years to come!!

Carving our Pumpkin the night before Halloween! Ava didn't really like getting messy...

Princess AVA!!

Our decision to decorate the truck for Trunk-or-Treating was kind of last minute.... haha!
Pretty cheesy huh?
