Summer Update Finally!

I finally ended up loading our pictures onto Ben's computer so that I could get these pics on here... There are a TON of them! I have a horrible memory so I've decided I need to keep this up to date so that I can remember what we do. So here is our fun and busy summer from most recent to oldest:
I went to check on Hunter before I went to sleep a few weeks ago and this is how I found him, there are clothes, toys, and even some books underneath him!
Hunter loved riding with Ben moving these boulders, he rode with him for a few hours and still wanted to ride more!

We all went to my mom's for my dad's birthday and she gave huge pieces to everyone, including Talee and Hunter. The older kids ended up going to the park by my mom's and left their unfinished pieces at her house... I think Talee and Hunter really liked them leaving them, they were out there tasting all of them!
Here is after Trick or Treating, Hunter's face paint was all over his hands and sleeves.

Dad and Hunter devil's.

Me as a Devil.

Carving pumpkins, we had to do quick designs cuz we did them right before we went trick or treating.

Hunter helping dad carve his pumpkin, it took him a while before we could get him to try to get the seeds out, and when he finally did he said eww and flipped seeds everywhere, funny boy!

We went camping and fishing, and the only thing we caught was a crawdad.

Eating breakfast of poptarts while fishing!

Taking Tyler to the MTC, he is now in Nicaragua!

We finally took Hunter to Toquerville falls, we used to go all the time and we haven't been since we had Hunter. He loved it! This pic he was standing on the rock forever and hardly moving, it took us a while to figure out what he was doing, but it was barely moving so he was wobbling it back and forth and we think he was scared to get of it or something, it was pretty funny!

The fam at the bottom of the falls, Hunter fell asleep on the way home even though the ride was pretty bumpy!

Sitting in a waterfall.

Taller than mom and dad, Yay!

After eating his birthday cake, "Cheese!"

Trying to blow out the candles by waving his hand. He loved his Lightning Mcqueen cake! It was pretty fun to make too, I used my entire bottle of red dye and in person the icing still didn't look that red!

His new bike! He loves it, it took him a couple months but he can pettle now!

My new "hat!" He wears it around the house all the time too!

He liked unwrapping things this year, so fun!

Playing with balloons, waiting for dad to get home so he could open the presents.

The Washington County Fair, Hunter loved the rides! Especially the cars the went fast! There were a couple of the rides that he would not get off, he wouldn't even follow his cousins off he wanted to ride more!
This one went up in the air too. When the ride stopped Logan (Hunter's cousin sitting in the back) jumped right out, apparently his belt wasn't tight enough to hold him in. SCARY!!

Riding the carousel with dad!

Playing in the rainy whether in Alton for Grandpa Crosby's birthday!

Talee and Hunter playing basketball! Or just throwing the balls to see them splash!

This boy LOVES corn!!

Geting candy at Toquerville's 24th of July parade!

Moving up to a toddler bed! We also took the binki away a couple weeks after this, it's weird to see him with one since it's been so long since we took it away.

Trying to play an arcade game, on tippy toes!

Playing at Grandma and Grandpa's in Kanab!

Playing with Ben's coworkers daughter at Sand Hollow. They were so funny together, they kept throwing mud on each other, and Hunter would show off and jump in the water and wait for her to follow his lead!
He wouldn't stop laying in the water even though the waves pretty much covered him!

We had a lot of this over the summer, he went through a faze where he would not leave his diaper on! Don't worry that's drool!

So cool with his sunglasses (or eyes as he calls them) and building his block towers!

Playing at the cabin in Delta. He was collecting rolly pollies (I think some people call them potato bugs) in this bucket.
Hunter's first ride on a tube, he didn't have much of a reaction.

This is how they started out, you could barely see Hunter!
This is the slide right off the sandy area, it's not really connected so it kept wobbling everywhere but he still liked it!

Ben's uncle has a couple dogs that he brings with him every year. Luckily they are good with kids cuz Hunter would not leave them alone!

Hunter decided to try to copy Brylee and climb the pole... He ended up looking more like a pole dancer! It was pretty funny!

Us trying to get him to take a nap in our tent that was next to the cabin. I think this is where he figured out how to climb out of his porta crib! He was being very wild but so funny I couldn't help but laugh and take pics!

We go to Delta's 4th of July demolition derby every year. This year they had 2 cars painted like Lightning Mcqueen! Hunter loved it! the other one was painted like the regular red Mcqueen but I didn't get a good pic of it. They were also in the parade since they were some of the best painted. Hunter tried to chase after them when they went by in the parade!

He thought he was pretty cool with his backpack on! He had all our stuff in it, water bottle, sunscreen, etc., but he still wanted it on. After a while he had us carry it for him.

The Ewell family at the parade.
We went camping to Fish Lake with my family and Hunter caught his 1st fish! It was even on his Lightning Mcqueen pole! Yes I know I go a little overboard with all the Cars stuff but he LOVES it! Wait til my Christmas pics...

He got into mom's hair stuff, I use barely a finger tip amount of this stuff to tame my fly aways.

I think he used a few handfuls of it!

Playing in the leaks from our hose while dad was trying to wash the Jeep.

Trying to help wash the Jeep before he got too interested in playing in the water!

Baby #2

So I kept on meaning to post a picture of my baby bump on here to announce that I'm pregnant to anyone who may not know, but my computer has been so slow lately that I couldn't get it to load (I'm amazed I finally got these pics to load.) So for those of you who don't know we are expecting baby #2! So far everything has been going good, I've felt a little bit sicker than I did with Hunter (easy to beat though I only threw up twice with him) and definitely more tired since I'm also chasing Hunter around. We also had to change doctors, the one I had with Hunter is going on a mission so they gave me some recommendations for a new doctor and we started over. Pregnancy hormones didn't do so good when my doctors office told me that news, I cried and it took me several weeks to finally get over it and call the new doctors office. My doctor with Hunter was not just a baby doctor he was a family doctor too so he was mine and Hunter's doctor. The new doctor is just a pregnancy doctor, but I will still be taking the baby to my original doctors son, so at least that won't have to change too. The new doctors office has done things a little different which for those of you who know me I hate doctors, I get very panicked every time I go, so it's been frustrating but getting better. I'm almost 20 weeks so half way there, so I'm getting used to the changes finally. We had our ultrasound on Wednesday so here's what happened with that:

So we ended up taking the wrong kind of disc to our ultrasound and didn't want to pay $5 for one so we ended up just getting the pictures and then scanned them into our computer, but for some reason it wouldn't let me load the scanned pictures on here, so I had to take pictures of the pictures to get them on here so they aren't very clear sorry!
Everything went really good the baby is healthy and is measuring about 3 days further along so my due date is probably more like April 8th rather than the 11th, but she said that it was showing that way because the baby has long legs, she said that the legs were measuring a little over 20 weeks and the rest of the body was about what it should be. She said that it just means the baby will probably be tall is all and that they only worry if the legs are short. Also my placenta is in the front of my belly so she said I probably wouldn't feel the kicks as much as I did with Hunter. I have definitely noticed some differences with how it feels... and I always thought that Hunter was pretty low in my belly but this one is even lower. The whole time she was doing the ultrasound she was right at the bottom of my belly, a lot of the time below or right by my belly button, and when the baby kicks it so low that it would be pretty embarrassing to have anyone try to feel it.
I'm sure that most of you are waiting for the most important answer... are we having a boy or a girl? And the answer is.......


We decided not to find out, we probably could have seen baby wasn't shy but we decided to wait and be surprised this time. We have heard from several people that it's really fun but with Hunter we both really really wanted a boy so we figured we better find out so we wouldn't be disappointed. This time we both would rather another boy but don't care too much so we figured we would try the surprise approach and see how we like it. It's kind of exciting!

Well here are our first pics of our new little baby:
