2 Year Anniversary

Steve and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary over a month and a half ago on June 5th. I love remembering our wedding day and I often wish I could do it all over again. I know it was a lot of work but it will always be remembered as the best day of my life!

This year we have another reason to remember our 2 year anniversary. It will always be the day that we FOUND OUT WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!

Yes it's true. We are expecting a little baby Murray! We already had our first doctors appointment and ultrasound and our little fetus is very healthy! It has a very fast heart beat and everything seems to be growing normally.

It seems very surreal at times because even though I have been pretty sick and extremely tired I don't really "feel" pregnant yet. We are 11 weeks today, due date is February 8th, 2012 and the baby is apparently the size of a lime this week. I am very excited our baby is getting into the bigger fruits. Blueberry and raspberry just weren't cutting it for me! Next week we will officially be in our 2nd trimester! I am looking forward to that and hopefully feeling a little better too.

Because I found out we where pregnant on our anniversary I got to surprise Steve by getting him a cute silver gift bag and a card. In the card I hinted that the present in the bag was going to be "the best present he could ever receive" and he was confused by that. He couldn't figure out that something so cool could come in a bag so small (after all... A new mountain bike can't fit in it)! So he opened the present and was so surprised to find 2 positive pregnancy tests! He was so cute and excited and i'm pretty sure I cried. Whats new?

So now you all know! I do want to get a little poll going on what everybody thinks the sex of the baby will be. Does anyone know how I can do that? So far I can say the majority of the people I have told think I am having a boy. I have NO idea yet but we will find out in 6 weeks. THAT'S SOON!!

Here are a few pictures of baby Murray to leave you with from our 9 week ultrasound.

Holy cow!!! So many pictures!!!!!

This year I have truly tried to take more pictures and have had some success! Now you get to catch up on our year through my picture book!

Zion Trip

Me and my mother outside the pig pen at best friends animal shelter in Kanab, UT.

The crew waiting for our tour to see all the cute animals! I loved all the animals but my favorite is always going to have to be the cute doggies. I totally wanted to adopt one but I knew Steve might not like that very much so I refrained...

Alli making delicious gourmet hamburgers for us for dinner one night at the cabin. They where AMAZING! They even brought us fresh slaughtered cow meat from (I think) Justin's grandpas farm. Doesn't it sound so appetizing when I put it that way:)

I had to throw this picture in here... Steve had JUST woken up and was not very happy that I wanted to take pictures of him. My husband is NOT a morning person in case you where wondering. I am the opposite... I live for the mornings and dread staying up late.

We played a lot of Just Dance at the cabin. Here is my mom and sister getting their dance on!

Proud papa:)

This picture is a win-win-win situation (office fans anyone?) Austin wins because he gets a ride down the hiking trail. Dave wins because he doesn't have to sit around and wait for Austin to finally get over the fact that his shoe got wet and refused to hike back down the trail and we all win because we get a picture of it! (Austin was of course laughing the whole way!)

End of Zions:(

Beginning of other stuff:)

We took Weston hiking a couple of times this spring and it turns out we DON'T have the laziest dog in all of Arizona! What a sport. He was always trying to run and climb up boulders and rocks 3 times the size of himself. He just loved every second of it! Too bad that now the problem isn't getting Weston to want to go on a hike but getting me to go:( I've been pretty lazy lately. In my defense it's really hot here!!!

*Favorite*

Utah trip to visit my new niece Hayden "Haddy" Joyce Barton

I know she was around 6 pounds. I don't remember the details people!!! Just how cute and tiny she was:)

Love cuddling with my niece!

I also love cuddling with Weston when he will let me...

Steve and I had the pleasure of being called to be a Ma and Pa on our stake trek. This was our cute family! I know I totally blend in with the kids...

Another short and sweet Utah trip to see my sisters family off to Philadelphia.

Haddy saying goodbye to Olli...

The Philadelphians

I got to see some of my friends for a short second and I'm so glad I did! I miss them:(

LOVE this picture!!!

I forced people to take lots of pictures of me holding Haddy. She is just so cute!

I miss them already:(

Congratulations!!! You made it to the end. Your reward is this post actually ending! Bye!!!
