Catch up!

I'm so behind on blogging it's ridiculous. To catch up....

Things are going really well! Sky and I went to California for Christmas this year. It was wonderful to see everyone and so nice to be able to spend time with my dad, Sally, Jen, and Craig's fam! We took off Saturday morning at 4:00 a.m. and Sky drove us all the way to St. George, what a little trooper!! We stopped and picked out my mom's puppies (she got two adorable yorkies from a breeder down there) and at breakfast at this adorable little diner! Back in the truck and 6 hours later we were at Kathy and John's! THANK GOODNESS! We spent the 4 days in Bakersfield shopping, eating, relaxing, eating, hanging out with friends and family and did I mention eating?! I think we gained 20 pounds between the two of us! Christmas Eve we went to Pam and Carlos's house for dinner then headed up to Hanford to stay with my dad and Sal. We had so much fun up there! Finally got to teach Sky pitch! YEAH! We stayed up til like 12:30 playing Saturday night! Santa brought Baby's First Stocking with an adorable little bear, a blanket, I love my Mommy and I love my Daddy bibs, and a baby picture frame! We got two beautiful pieces of art for our home from dad and Sal and it was just a great time! Saturday we drove back to Bakersfield. Sky went golfing with the boys all day and then we had family pictures. After that we went to Uriccio's (my FAVORITE Italian restaurant) to celebrate Sky's birthday! Big 24! Then went home and opened presents! Next morning we were up at the crack of dawn to drive home. This is always the part that sucks. But we stopped back in St. George and picked up my mom's babies and had a fun time watching them. Bella is still very unsure of the little ones but hopefully she'll get over that soon!

In baby news, things are going really well! Definitely looking pregnant now and loving it! :) We go in next Wednesday for our 16 week appointment and we'll hopefully be able to see if our tiny one is a girl or boy! Cannot wait!

I'll post pictures soon! Promise!

So true

I found this little personality test and thought it was really interesting! It's pretty dead on!

A good listener, you excel at helping others in practical ways.

In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.

Taking care of someone is how you love them. And you do it well!

Baby Thomson's First Picture!



We had our first ultrasound yesterday and it was absolutely incredible! Our doctor was fantastic and I feel wonderful about her! She walked us through all the paperwork and told us about all the optional testing we can do. Then she did our ultrasound! The baby was perfect! Measured spot on and had a fast, strong heartbeat! We got a great picture and then Dr. Brown pushed around on my tummy and the baby started jumping around! It was so amazing to see our little one moving around! The baby even waved and we could see 5 little fingers. AMAZING! Our next appointment is January 7th and we will get to finally call our little peanut "he" or "she!"

First Appointment!

So today Sky and I go in for our first appointment with our OB! We will finally get to see and hear our little peanut! I couldn't be more excited! I'm bouncing out of my seat and having a hard time staying focused at work! We go in at 1:15 and I'll be sure to let you all know how everything goes!
Love you all!

Exciting News!

So for those of you that haven't heard, Skyler and I are excited to announce we'll be parents next summer! We found out in October and were ecstatic! I'm about 11 weeks right now. We go in for our first ultrasound December 10th and cannot wait to hear our little one's heartbeat!

The pregnancy so far has been exciting and exhausting. I've had terrible "morning" sickness that has wiped me out. But I'm hoping for a little relief when I get into the second trimester!

I'll try and keep this updated and I'll post pictures of our ultrasound when I get them!

Nicholas Sparks is amazing!


I was so excited for Nicholas Sparks' new book to be released (I've been waiting months) and its finally here! I started it the other night and am about half way through and as usual, its amazing! He is such a talented writer and I'm always impressed at how engrossed I get in his novels! I highly recommend his work to anyone!

Fall Time


Fall has always been my favorite season and I'm sad to see how short it has been this year! Seems like we jumped straight from Summer to Winter. I'm not looking forward to the snow and freezing temperatures, but it will be fun to go snowmobiling, put more covers on our bed, cook yummy soups and catch up on some great new books! Its about this time of year that I wish we had a fireplace! :)

Our Wedding

Our life right now...


So this is what is goin on in our lives right now! Sky is doing real estate and property management for Utah R&I. It keeps him really busy and there's never a dull moment! :) Softball season is starting to wrap up. The last tournament of the season is the end of this month. It will be interesting to have that much free time back. This year has been a lot of fun for him! They went to World's with their Men's team. It was in Florida and they did pretty well! They got to meet some of the players in the Majors and one even took his sweaty jersey off, signed it and gave it to Sky! He was pretty stoked! They took in a Red Sox game while they were there and had a great time!!

I am currently working for ManagerPlus. It is a software development company here in Sandy. I work with some great people and its been fun getting to know them! I started my own business with Arbonne International in July and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It has been by far the best career decision! I cannot wait until I'm doing it full time and working from home! Last month was so wonderful, I made first step District and that was huge for me! I cannot wait to see where I am in a few months.
Other than that, life as usual! We work, we play, we have a great time!

Welcome to blogging!

Ok, this is my first time blogging, so bare with me! :) I'm sure it will take me a while to figure out, but I figured I better start getting the hang of it now!! SO, Here we go!
