Pink, Pink, and more Pink

So...A lot more people are reading this thing..makes me nervous haha But I have been asked to give an update about what we are doing cause a lot of people don't know :) I am currently at BYU majoring in Finance and Chase is wrestling away at UVU majoring in Accounting. We have a few more weeks of school then we will be heading to visit with Chase's family in Tennessee for a whole month! We are very excited! We will then come back at the end of May to get ready for our baby girl Gracie! I am seven months this Saturday and man has time flown! I guess people don't know (those who do bear with me) but we do plan on living in Tennessee in the next two or three years :) We are enjoying my family while they live close to us and are excited my parents will get to have their first grand baby around for a while! Gracie is already a spoiled little girl and she isn't even here yet! My mom, my sister, and I made her flowers and head bands for her hair this weekend while the boys were at priesthood. I find myself buying every little girls outfit I see! My first baby shower is this weekend and I am getting so excited :) I am doing all the decorations (secretly design is my passion) which probably wasn't the best idea because I am buying ever pink candy and decoration I see. haha We are so excited to be mommy and daddy to our little blessing.

General Conference for The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was this weekend and what powerful messages we were able to listen to. I would just like to bear my testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel and how thankful I am for a Prophet on the earth today to guide and direct my family. I am so happy Gracie can be born into the covenant and that we can be an eternal family. I am thankful for faith in times of trial and I am thankful for the hope the gospel brings. I know that Jesus Christ atoned for my sins and wants nothing more than for me to live in exaltation with Chase and my Children. I love this gospel and am thankful for the blessings I have today. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen. If you didn't catch conference LDS.org has all the sessions and talks or if you fell asleep during one or two ;)

Chase decided to run in the 100 meter dash for fun and got third in his heat! (Chase is good at everything, honestly-everything)

26 weeks, the 27 week picture will come with the 28 weeks this weekend :)

These are the flowers for her hair! Chase says he won't allow me to put these flowers as big as her head on when she first gets here...We will wait until he leaves in the morning mahahahaha

Just got this jumper for her..It's so cute and tiny I had to share..matching booties coming soon :))))

Sin City

My family called Chase and I last Friday and asked if we would like to go to Las Vegas with them to see my aunt and uncle, of course we said yes! My uncle actually lives in a really nice country club in Henderson (just outside of Vegas itself) so we enjoyed the warm weather all we could! My uncle is remarried to my wonderful aunt Carrie who has a five year old daughter Katherine Grace! Cat is in LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE with Chase, did I mention she like really loves him haha We haven't seen them in almost a year and in that time frame she made several presents for Chase, not me, just Chase. Anytime someone would try to pick her up to give her a shoulder ride she would ask them to take her to Chase so he could hold her, needless to saw she wouldn't leave Chase's side even for a minute. She even slept right next to our bed haha We took Chase down on the strip of Las Vegas and walked around way to long! Everyone was was exhausted. Cat and I could barley walk but who do you think got to be held by Chase more than half the day? Yupp Cat, she wouldn't let go from around Chases neck! I must say I was a bit jealous but I loved seeing how much that little girl loves him. I have a feeling Gracie will be the same way with her Daddy. We got up Monday to come home and we left at around 5 a.m. so we didn't get the chance to say goodbye to Cat; when she woke up thirty minutes later realizing we were gone she ran into her mom's room sobbing asking if Chase and I left. I felt horrible but lucky for us she is coming to see us in a few weeks :)

School is almost over and we are getting ready to come to Tennessee! I am having a baby shower on April 12 and can't wait to see all the cute stuff Gracie is going to get! We are happy and healthy here! Just the way we like it!
p.s. People can actually tell I'm pregnant now. In the last two weeks my stomach has gotten HUGE! It's about time too we are already six and half months pregnant!

Gracie, Gracie, Gracie

Hello from rainy Utah! We hope everyone is just doing wonderful! Gracie and I had a doctors appointment this past week and we are both healthy and happy! We also took some fun pictures for our announcement and they will be ready sometime next week! We didn't get to take a lot because, of course, it started raining really hard right when we started taking them. But hopefully we got a few good ones. Also we are starting to plan on going to see Chases family for some of the summer and we are really excited! We original weren't going to go at all but have decided to come for a month or so! YAY! Anywho, nothing to exciting here (we prefer it that way haha) We hope you are all enjoying this new month and want to say we love you all!

21 weeks (you cant read it that well, Sorry!)

22 Weeks (see a difference :))

Healthy little Peanut!

It's official! She is a girl haha Gracie had her 20 week appointment today and everything is developed as it should! They Checked for:

  • 4 chambers in her heart
  • the right sized "parts"(i forgot what they are really called) in her brain
  • All four limbs
  • Size
  • Her cute little spine
  • Her cute little kidneys
Probably some other stuff but I can't remember! She is on track with all of the check points! Gracie was all rolled up in a ball with her knees touching her nose and her arms above her head. We were in the ultra sound for 45 minutes because the lady couldn't see what she needed cause she was all rolled up haha Her little hands kept hitting the wand of the ultra sound machine cause the lady was trying to bug her to move but for 45 minutes she stayed with her knees to her nose! They even had me jumping up and down and walking around the room but she wouldn't move (hopefully she isn't this stubborn when she comes out here). Ever since we bugged her she has been kicking me like crazy (she kinda seems like she is in a bad mood now :)). But we are happy she is healthy and is comfy in there. We are 20 Weeks (5 months) and half way there! My stomach is kinda showing if I wear a tight shirt but still some people can't tell and must just think I am chubby ;). We got some cute pictures of her ultra sound! Enjoy!


This is my favorite! She was putting her little hands in her face!

Best ER trip EVER! haha Gracie is growing really big and is looking great! We have the test for down syndrome and a few other test this next week! I can't wait to see her again! Also no more sickness here :) Chase is even back to wrestling; very very well might I add! Right now we are just busy with school and getting ready for Gracie! I got most of her nursery put together this week and will post some pictures once I get it all the way done!
