Our New Jeep

At the beginning of December Wes got a Jeep. He bought it from a good friend and I have never seen him more excited. He was looking forward to buying it for a while now and he was finally able to bring it home. He has had so much fun with it and goes off roading as much as possible. I have enjoyed it to some extent. I am not able to do a lot of offroading because I am pregnant so we have found other ways to have fun.

Wes made me do this stupid pose

Wes and I decided to take the Jeep out on a ride up the mountain and have a picnic. It was super fun because it was just us and it was a good way to get away and see our valley from a different height. I hope that we can do that more before the baby comes because it was so nice to get away.

A few nights later we decided to go and have a fire up Bouquet Canyon. Wes's brother Greg and his family came with us so it made it even better. It was pretty cold up there but after Wes started the fire it was great. We made some dinner and roasted marshmallows. It was a great night and the kids were so good. They loved the fire and especially the marshmallows!

Christmas 2009

Wes and I had a great Christmas this year and it was our last year spending it with just the two of us. It is exciting to think that we will have another addition to our family next year. We got to spend this year with both of our families. We spent Christmas Eve with the Llewellyns and Christmas with my family. Wes had to work on Christmas day so we only got to see him later on in the day but it was still great. We walked away with so many presents, we didn't even know what to do with them all. I got a beautiful dry erase calender from Jessica that she made for me which I LOVE! Wes also gave me a new sleeping bag and some mittens for snowboarding. I also got a new bedspread as well as so much more. Wes got a GPS which he loves, especially when he goes offroading in his Jeep. We had such a great Christmas and I know next year will be even better!

I was so happy that Jen, Steve and Olivia came down for Christmas!

Wes made Joseph and Jessica a headboard for their bed. It was so beautiful and they were so excited because they did not expect to get one.

Miss Olivia came to visit us on Christmas day. She is the cutest!

I stuffed tangerines in Bridget's shirt to give her boobies and then she gave us her Chandler smile. So funny!

We got Ethan some new airplanes. He LOVES airplanes!

Bridget makes the weirdest faces when you ask her to take a picture. I wanted to take a picture of her with the Barbie that we got her but this is the best that we got.

Wes got more camo gear from his Dad

All the girls in the Llewellyn family got coats so we all had to pose with them. I'm so glad that I look like a giant next to all of them. I got lots of great stuff including a few different maternity shirts that were super cute!

Our Bundle of Joy

Wes and I are so happy to finally announce that we are expecting our first baby at the beginning of July. We wanted to wait until I was into my 2nd trimester before we officially announced it so we could make sure that everything was going well. I got an ultrasound when I was 6 weeks and we were able to see the heartbeat and what looked like a lima bean. At my 12 week doctor's appointment we were able to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It was music to my ears and I tried so hard to not burst into tears. I am so excited to finally be into my 2nd trimester now for many reasons because hopefully we will find out the sex in a few weeks and I am feeling about a milion times better. I was a bit sick during those first weeks so I am thrilled to feel like a human again!

13 weeks on Christmas Day

Halloween

Wes and I started the Halloween season with Trunk or Treating and the Chili cookoff at church. Wes made YUMMY chili to be entered. It was amazing!! I don't even like chili and I wanted to eat the whole thing myself.

We dressed up for the event, I was Little Red Riding Hood and Wes was a cowboy. He bought a mustache and it was amazing. He looked so good right down to his spurs. People didn't even recognize him!

After we were nice and full we went outside and did our trunk or treating. Bridget and Ethan were so cute and took to it right away. They figured out if they said the magic words "trick or treat" someone would put candy in their bag. It was so fun that they were able to come to our ward's halloween party and they looked so cute! Bridget was a ladybug and Ethan was a firefighter.

A week after our Ward's Halloween party we went to another party given by a few people in our ward. We got all dressed up again and had so much fun hanging out with people and dancing. Our friends Taylor and Mari came up and joined us for the evening. After that party was over we ended up at two other parties but none of them could compare to the first one. It ended up being such a fun and eventful night.

Taylor and Mari...We love them.

Wyatt and Kip

On the actual date I went over to my parents house and hung out with the family because Wes had to work. After we ate the kids got dressed up in their costumes and went trick or treating. They knew the drill so they did pretty good. They only lasted a few houses but their mom and dad did not mind.

When Wes got home from work we headed over to his parents house to see everyone else dressed up. We went trick or treating with them for a little bit and then came back to the house. Katie was down visiting for the weekend so it was extra special to have her there. All the kids looked so cute. Issac was a bee and Liz made the most amazing costume for him.

Roy was Tigger but was not very exicted to be wearing the furry costume

Anne was a skunk and the cutest one I have ever seen.

Rebekah was a butterfly.

Halloween seemed to last for three weeks but it was super fun. We got as much out of the holiday as we could and was able to celebrate with everyone.

Rainy Days

This past week we had a couple of rainy days. We haven't had rain in such a long time that my two year old niece and nephew really didn't remember it too much. They came over to Grandma and Grandpa's house to play and we let them go out in the rain. My mom and I went and got them some rain coats that afternoon so they were set. It was so cute to see them play in the rain. They were so exicted and wanted to just stand in the gutter as the water flowed over them. When they got too cold we brought them inside and put them in a warm bath. Everything was soaking wet but it was so worth it. It is so fun to see things through a two year old's eyes. It makes puddle jumping seem so much more fun!

Bridget had her stick and was playing with it in the water
Ethan needed some help stepping down into the gutter

"Hi, I am so cute"

He stood like that for some time

Olivia Jane Clegg

On Monday, October 5th Miss Olivia Jane Clegg was born. I was able to go up to Roseville and visit the new parents, Jen and Steve, that weekend. Olivia was even more beautiful than I could have hoped for. She looks a lot like her dad but has her mom in her a well. She is such a good baby too. She only cries if she is hungry and is such a good sleeper. I thought that I would go up there and expect to not get any sleep but amazingly she only woke up only one time a night. I had such a great time hanging out with them and Jen and Steve are such great parents. It is so awesome to see how much they love her. I love her so much and can't wait to make another trip to see my new niece.

San Francisco

At the end of September I was able to go up to Roseville and visit Jen. She was having her baby shower and I wanted to be there and to come and hang out one last time before Miss Olivia came. This was my first trip up North so I was so excited. I hadn't seen Jen since she was first pregnant so I had to come see her with her belly. Jen and Steve live in Roseville which is outside of Sacramento. They have the cutest house and it will be perfect for Olivia to come home to. We had fun getting some last minute things done for the nursery. I have never been to San Francisco before so we also spent the day there. Jen had only gone once before at night so we were basically exploring the city for the first time together. We did an amazing job for really never being there. We navigated the city and got to see everything that we wanted to.

We started our adventure at Fisherman's Warf. We went to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch which was really expensive and not very good but still fun. After walking around and doing a little shopping we saw Alcatraz and some smelling sea lions.

My new husband...Wes has been replaced.

After Pier 31 we hopped on a cable car and went to Union Square. The cable car experience was interesting. Two crazy people got on and started yelling at the driver. Public transporation at its best.

After Union Square we walked through Chinatown and saw some interesting things. Jen was amazing and I had to keep up with her. The fact that she was 8 1/2 months pregnant did not stop her one bit. We walked so much and she didn't even break a sweat.

Next stop was Lombard St. It was so cool to see. We didn't end up driving down it because all the other streets were scary enough.

Full House houses. They were a bit anticlimatic.

The Golden Gate Bridge was so cool and we got a pretty good view of it. I love that it is covered in fog even when there are blue skies everywhere else.

Our last stop was Castro St. which was so cool and I wish we actually ended up getting out. We went there at the end of the day and we were so tired. We just drove down the street and headed towards the freeway. All in all the trip was amazing and there is no one I would have rather had the experience with. I know Jen is going to be an amazing mom and it was so good to be able to have one last trip where it could be just us. I am so exicited to be able to finally meet Olivia!
