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!

Gracie Jean Cuthbertson :)

It's official! We are having a girl! Many of you already know that :) We were lucky enough to find out we are having a girl three weeks ahead, because of an ER trip! 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!

Here are some pictures of us! I would post some belly pictures (I am now 19 weeks, almost half way done with this pregnancy!) but no one can even tell I'm pregnant haha there is a little something there tho! Look out for our cute baby girl announcement coming your way soon :)
My cute husband got athlete of the week! Go Chase!

Truth will always be truth even if no one believes!!!

Sorry it's been fooorrreeevver since I have wrote on this thing! I am now 15 weeks pregnant! For the first trimester and the month of December I was throwing up at least three to four times a day and wasn't keeping any liquids down. I lost a bit of weight but am trying really hard to gain it back!! As soon as I got into my second trimester I just stopped throwing up! Now I feel great! I look back and it really wasn't that bad, I am positive people have it worse. I am very grateful to my Heavenly Father for allowing us to get pregnant and bring a child into this world. So 15 whole weeks...that means...in four weeks.... we will finally know...if we are having a BOY or GIRL. We do want to know peoples choice's between boy and girl so we can run a little contest. I will tell you right now..I think it's a girl but Chase is positive it's a boy!
We had a wonderful first Christmas together and are finally in our own apartment right next to BYU. I started at BYU this past week and Chase went back to UVU. It's hard not seeing Chase's cute face at school but I am in luck, we have eternity together :). We also had Mom and Dad from Tennessee for the weekend this past weekend! Chase got sick just in time for them to come so we weren't the best entertainers but we really enjoy their company and love. I wish I could post a really good belly picture but  there is hardly anything there. In fact a lot of people ask me if I am sure I am pregnant haha I promise I am. I've seen the cute thing in there. Anywho, We watched a great devotional tonight and it was really good. I encourage all of you to watch if your in need of the spirit ;) To sum it up, President Uchtdorf says the truth will always be truth even if no one believes it! He encourages us all to find the absolute truth because once we do a lot more things in our life will be clear. We love you and miss you all.

PS. Happy Birthday to our wonderful niece Taylor Bea!

Okay this is our baby, My dad saw this and said "I have no idea what I am looking at" haha

We got twice this much but here was the first snow!

Chase using a snow- blower for the first time in his life at my aunts..we suddenly realized he doesn't have snow clothes.
