On this day.....

Next month we will have a new baby!

Crazy.

Choroid plexus cyst

Are you wondering what in the heck the title of this post means? Well, this little baby in my belly (Ellie in the belly) had them on her brain when we had our ultrasound at 18 weeks. You can go HERE to read more about them. So we were a little concerned, but Carly also had them at the same point in my pregnancy and they cleared up in a later ultrasound. So we definitely wanted to have another ultrasound with this babe to make sure things were looking good. We had that ultrasound today, and they are gone! Phew! It was also nice to be able to make sure she was for sure a she, which she is, and to see her again. We even saw some hair on her head! I guess we'll see just how much when she's born though.

This is carly, she's had the most hair thus far

(I know it's not the best pic to tell, but it's there, I promise)
This is baldy Hailey, heck she still doesn't have much hair!

According to the ultrasound she weighs 5 pounds 11 ounces! Does that seem big at this point? I hope she's not 8+ pounds when she's born, oh boy! She's head down, and her body is curved around the right side of my belly. No wonder I feel most of her kicks on my left side! So now I guess it's safe to go buy a new take home outfit for this little babe.

I still can't believe we are going to have 3 girls, crazy!

Caught up

Okay, so I think that's it. I should be caught up with all the stuff that's been going on lately. If you haven't noticed I've posted a ton in the last few days!

ENJOY!

PS Now I have some time so I am going to come and visit your blog!! Yay!

24th of July

Every year on the 24th of July, for a long time now, my parents neighborhood (the one I grew up in) throws a huge neighborhood pancake breakfast. I have gone to this every year with my family for a very long time now, I think since it started back when I was in high school. This year it was fun because EVERYONE in my family was able to go. My sister and her family were in town from Arizona, my brother and his family was in town from Vegas (actually they are in a transition period. He just graduated from Orthodontics school, and now has a job in Cali, so they are living with my parents waiting until they can find a house in Cali. So my brother is now there with out his family.), and my other brother and his wife live in Utah so they came too! Oh and my mom and dad were there too!

There was a parade that afternoon too! For some reason I didn't take any pictures at the parade, sorry.

That night we all walked down to watch fireworks.

Thanks Kristy for supplying the kids with the glow sticks, and the treat boxes, and all the other cute stuff you did.

Had to showcase Ellie in the belly! LOL!

GTU again!

A couple of weeks ago I got to go to be in the audience of Good Things Utah (Again. If you recall I went earlier this year and the year before that) with my mom, sister, and sister-in-law Kristy.

We think it's something fun to do and we like going.

New additions!!

No, I haven't had the baby yet, and no, I'm not having twins.

Okay so if you remember this post, I asked your opinion. Well here is the winner!

The girls love it! Everyday they have to go out on the swing set.

Also, since our family is expanding we decided it was time to get a bigger vehicle.


Honestly I never thought I would own a van. But, I've got to tell you, I LOVE it. We are so happy with is purchase. It's so nice, the girls don't cry when we have to leave somewhere because they get to ride in the new van! I wonder how long it will take for that to wear off?

4th of July

This year for the 4th of July we had my parents, Dan's parents and Dan's grandpa Houtz over for a BBQ for dinner. It was a good time with yummy food.
After dinner we went to Sugarhouse Park to watch fireworks. It's so nice that we live so close to the park!

Dan got Carly to scratch his back! LOL!


I got all crafty this year and made the girls dresses, free hand, no pattern.

(Your probably going to see me in this green shirt a lot)

This picture is funny. Those are ear plugs in her ears.

Pineview Resort

On the 3rd of July we all went up to Pineview with Dan's sisters and their families.

I'd never been before. We had a lot of fun, even though the girls didn't get in the water.

I had to put this picture on because it actually looks like Hailey's got a little booty.

So cute!

Really she has none.

Thank goodness for adjustable waists in pants!
