another mini reunion

We had a nice dinner with the Airds and Wardles on Monday night at PF Changs. It was great to see everyone and catch up, but I agree with Katie that since children now outnumber adults, next time it will be pizza at home instead of taking over a nice restaurant! I'm lucky because I'm heading to St. George to stay with Brooke in two weeks, so more pictures to come...:)

Long time no post!

partial reunion

I had so much fun at our Memorial Day breakfast, and I'm so grateful to everyone for making the effort to be there.  It was great to see you girls, and we missed those that weren't there.  I thought I'd post the pictures I have of the event, and if someone has better ones, please post them so I can steal them!  Love you guys...miss ya.  I hope we can get together again soon.

Baby Whitman

Thursday we had our first ultrasound, which was amazing. Right away we were able to see the baby stretching out and moving all around. I wasn't expecting to see the baby so clearly at this point, so it was quite a surprise. It really helped make it even more real for me and the Doug.

In this first picture you can see how the baby was waving his hand during a lot of the ultrasound, just saying hi.

We have our second ultrasound scheduled for June 3 so we can hopefully find out the sex at that time. I am getting so anxious to find out if we will be having a boy or a girl. Doug thinks that based on these pictures, it's definitely a boy... but the doctor wasn't able to tell yet.

Happy Birthday Kristen!

Baby Girl Wardle

She's here! I went up to visit the Wardles today, because Sarah had her baby on Monday. I'm not trying to steal her thunder, but she gave me permission to post the first official pictures of her. As ridiculous as it is, this is the first time Sarah and I have hung out since I moved back to Utah in May, so it was definitely overdue. It's a long drive from South Jordan to Kaysville! It was a wonderful visit with the whole family. The boys are getting so big and handsome! Noah and Wyatt were busy playing most of the time, but Mason was so sweet to share his legos with me and sit by me on the couch.:) It made me really excited for my little boy. (I can't believe I'm the only one left on the due date list!) I snapped a couple of pictures of the baby, and Mason wanted me to take one of him too, so I'm posting that as well. She is a beautiful little girl and it was so fun holding her for a few minutes. She seems so tiny! I see a lot of Noah in her, and she definitely looks like one of the family. In the pictures she is wearing the tutu Kristen made for her. Yes, we know it wasn't intended to go on over a sleeper, but we just wanted to see if it fit. Sarah promises to do a photo shoot soon.:) So we'll be anxiously awaiting more pictures, and excited to hear what they decide on for a name...

A little update

Aubrey and Daddy....awww, aren't they cute?
My lil' bookworm! She loves books. Her favorite is her sesame street goes to the farm book that I have from when I was little : )
My little busy bee...always trying to figure things out and getting into mischief
She totally posed like this all by herself! I just set her up there and she smiled away. She just started cheesing it this week for the camera....usually she tries to escape!
Another pose...
Mommy and Aubrey
Aubrey playing some tunes...
Fish face
Pigtails! She was crying right before this so she looks a bit pouty but I just love those teeny piggy tails! : )

We took Aubrey to her doctor appt. last week that was meant for her 12 month, but she was actually 14 months : ) I'm blaming it on the move ( ...that we made in July! ) Anyway, she still doesn't weigh 20 lbs yet, not even 19 1/2, she's just over 19 pounds! She's in the 10th percentile for her weight, but in the 30th for her height. We decided we'd go ahead and switch her carseat around anyway. She loves facing the front now and I like being able to see her a bit better, but it has been an adjustment getting used to putting her in that way. It's funny how you get used to doing something a certain way.

We've also been busy with Holiday preparations here. We mailed/dropped off our Christmas packages to the family last week and I spent the past couple of days wrapping up a few little things for Aubrey and Steve. I'm excited for Steve to be off work soon. He starts his vacation on Wednesday, but unfortunately he will have to go in a few days over the plant shutdown week to help finish up some projects.

We're planning on having our traditional Christmas Eve dinner at my parent's house this week. We'll be spending Christmas morning with just us and then going over to my extended families house for a little Christmas party with my Aunts/Uncles/Cousins on my Dad's side. It should be fun. I haven't been to one of those in a while, and haven't seen many of them since we had Aubrey. I know my Dad is anxious to show her off : )

Well, at least that's a little update for now. My time is short so I'm going to try and post a few pics too before it all runs out!
