It's a Girl!!

Were having a....

GIRL!!

Yeah Miley is going to be a big sister! The great part about having another girl is that we wont have to buy more clothes, they will only be a year apart so the styles wont change a lot! And I don't have to worry about changing the decorations up in Mileys room.
Were working on putting up some ultrasound pictures soon. But everything else looks great, the baby is healthy and growing and developing everything as she should be. She was even sucking her thumb, just like her big sister did in the womb and like she does now. (We're going to make some orthodontist really happy someday)

Now we just have to start thinking of names! This part is fun! So far the only two that Cory and I can agree on are the names Devry and Jordan. But were still trying to think of some more...any suggestions?

Peek-a-boo!!



This is Miley's new favorite game, she does this ALL the time now! *note: make sure you push pause on the music player at the bottom of this blog in order to listen to the video.


What a mess! This was after her meal. She was playing peek-a-boo and got food all over her face and hair.

Canada!

Canada!

Since Cory's family lives about 2 hours from the Canadian boarder, and have a time share up in Lake Okanagan, we all decided to go up for a couple days! We were a little scared that I wouldn't make it across the boarder. The boarder rules had changed June 1st, and required everyone that they have a passport, nexus card, or enhanced drivers license. I had gotten approved for a nexus card, but I couldn't get an interview because they were all filled up. We took the risk and just brought my birth certificate, hoping that they'd let it slide. We drove up the night before everyone else did, just to make sure I could get across....luckily to our surprise they let me in!! And I'm sure glad that they did because we had a lot of fun!! The weather was perfect! We had fun swimming, ski dooing, boating, taking walks on the board walk, playing lots of fun games, eating yummy food, and just relaxing!

I just want to thanks Cory's mom, Rhonda, for paying for this fun and glamours trip!! We made some good memories!
Us on the boat! (Miley was at the hotel sleeping with her cousins)

Woohoo! Look at that air!


I was a little scared to get in the water, since it was freezing!!!


Our Ski doo buddles! Jon and Kari-lynn.

The 4th of July

This 4th we spent it in Washington with family! We had fun swimming, playing games, eating yummy food, lighting off fireworks, and of course taking cute picture of Miley.

Were really excited to go swimming!

Cuddling with grandma after swimming.

Miley and Sadie (the dog) were best friends. Sadie loved kissing Miley toes in the morning.



Miley's first sparklers!


This was one of my favorite pictures. She really wanted to eat the flower though. :)

Our happy 4th of July girl!

I've been dying to put these pictures up, but I had to wait until after father's day since these were his present. I just didn't have my computer til now to put them up (we were on vacation)

They turned out so CUTE, thank you Melissa for taking the time to take these! Cory was pleasantly surprised when he saw all them for Fathers Day!






She was not a happy girl. She had a runny nose and I kept wiping it. (we ended up taking a nap after this picture) It made for a really cute picture though!


Now this was after her nap....much happier!





This was our favortie of us together



Here is Miley giving daddy his Father's day present (I had framed a few pictures from above)


Daddy and Miley. You can't see in the picture, but I had used finger paint and Miley's hands to decorate the wrapping paper.

3 years ago today...

3 years ago today....

I cannot believe that 3 years ago today Cory and I were married for time and all eternity! They really have flown by so fast! We've gotten a lot accomplished in just these short three years together. We've both finished our schooling at BYUI, and finished my cosmetology degree shortly after, started chiropractic school, had the most beautiful little girl and is expecting another beautiful child together! We've learned so many things about each other and have had so many wonderful memories together.
I truly am blessed to be married to this amazing man, I cannot describe how much I love him! He helps me when I'm down, he makes me laugh everyday, reminds me how beautiful I am to him, and listens intensely to my day. I girl couldn't ask for more :)
I really married well, he has the most amazing family. After spending a few weeks with them recently and the last three years together I really have felt their love for me and they have truly accepted me into there family. I don't know what my life would be like without them! I am so grateful for this marriage and am SO excited for the rest of eternity together!

BEST DATE EVER!

BEST DATE EVER!

May 31st is such a happy day, not only is it my birthday but it's also my mom's birthday too! She's told me that I'm the BEST birthday present that she's ever received! It's sad that these last couple years I haven't been able to share it with her together, for that reason my birthday is hard to celebrate without her. But this year Cory spoiled me, and made it easy to realize that my mom wasn't there.

This past week Cory's mom flew in for a visit! Since Cory's sister lives in San Fransisco she had lots of reasons to come down. We've been busy traveling up there and they traveling down here. Anyways...so Friday night we decided to spend the night at his sisters and were going to catch a movie and some dinner while Cory's mom watched Miley. This was a badly needed date, and we really haven't been on any dates since Miley was born.
The movie was great! We saw Angles and Demons....highly recommend! Cory had snuck in some of our favorite cookies and drinks. We always do this, I have such a huge purse that nobody knows!! The plan after the movie was to go out for dinner, so when we got to the car Cory had me type in the address to the restaurant...which I had no idea where we were going. When we got to our location, I was completely confused because we were in a residential neighborhood, and there were no restaurants anywhere! We get out of the car and started walking. Cory then tells me that were not eating yet and that were not going back home tonight!
He surprised me with a bed and breakfast suite!
This place was so amazing, it was built in the 1800 one of the last remaining buildings that survived the big earthquake. I learned a lot about San Fransisco's history while there. The owner took us around the historic building and showed us all these pictures about SF.
One interesting thing I learned...
Why is the Golden Gate Bridge called the Golden Gate Bridge if it's not the color of Gold? Answer: Because the bridge is the gateway to the were the 'gold rush' was. Interesting huh?
Like I said this place was amazing, you really wouldn't think it was by just driving by. They have this 'secret garden' in the back that had this canopy with a hot tube made of wood. Very romantic. Then you can go all the way up to the roof and they have this great view of the city.
Anyways so after our tour, they owner had suggested a few places to eat around us. I guess they have 100 different restaurants within walking distance. He suggested this authentic Italian restaurant that was very romantic.
The restaurant was very calming and romantic like he said. It was very small and personable, each table had some roses and a candle. I've never been to Italy but it felt like I was there! The food was really good. I wasn't sure what I was ordering, but it was delicious. What a wonderful end to a wonderful day! This was honestly the best date that I have ever been on, it really makes a difference when it's with someone you love.
It went way to fast, I wish we could of stayed there longer. But sadly all things have to come to an end....and we were running out of money :)
Since he spent a lot on this, we both felt that it would be a combination present. Cory's birthday is this month and next month is our 3 year anniversary. Of course I'm still going to do something for him, but honestly I don't think I will be able to top this!

Here are a few pictures of our night!


This was on top of the building looking over SF.

Here was our romantic dinner! (Those who want to go...it's actually right off the bart station) Were defiantly going again!

This picture just doesn't justify the cool hot tub. We forgot to get a picture of the garden, but I'm sure our picture still wouldn't justify it.
Awww...
