ST. GEORGE RETREAT!!

Well we were able to get away for a couple of days to St. George with Jake's parents. We set up a place to stay (thanks again Frump!!) and they brought the fun!!! They brought their new four-wheelers and we road for two days at The Sand Hollow State Park. I know what you are thinking......at 6 1/2 months......crazy right!!?? Don't worry peeps there were sand dunes and it was a pretty smooth ride, I was impressed!!! So I took it pretty easy for sure!!! Here are some of the fun pics we got!!!


So are you kidding me.....it was so beautiful with all the red sand and water!!! I mean I am already a fan of St. George because of the warm weather and all the red rock and sand, so no convincing needed here!! One of my favorite places....strongly competing with Sedona, AZ

Look at Jeff jumping his machine like a crazy man.....lets just say he reverted back to a kid this weekend!!

And of course here is Jake....he for sure isn't an exception to the kid rule......he let loose too!!

Hey Rozzie!!! Us girls didn't jump and weren't as crazy as the guys.....but then again I am preggers and Rozzie doesn't want to fall off.....which I don't blame her for!! Once again......awesome scenery!!


It is hard to tell in these pics but past those rocks Roz and Jeff are standing on there is like this intense drop off and the view was A-mazing!!!


Check it out! Rozzie went up this steep hill after the boys too and screamed her head off!!!


Here is Jake and I on that same cliff top.......and what is that protruding bump......under my jacket....oh our little baby boy!! I haven't posted much of the belly so here you go!!


Me and Rozzie!! There were of course tons of cool rock formations.....and for some reason don't you always feel the need to climb them!!!? Oh and excuse my weird stance....I look like I am trying to be some pregs rock star or something.......


Jeff and Jake

This was a huge rock mountain thing.......very cool.....cooler in person of course



Oh and look at my handsome hubs......not like you can even tell that it is him......but I swear it's him behind all that gear!!! Jake was so excited to go on this trip he packed a whole separate bag just for riding gear......hmmmm....cute

It was a great weekend filled with much needed fun.....so thanks mom and frump for letting us borrow such a sweet place to stay and thanks to the Wittwers for providing the fun toys!! Love you all!!


BABY UPDATE: we currently are having some slight difficulty agreeing on a name for this little babe....so maybe by the time he is here we will have figured it out!!

So its a........

Well we had our 3-D ultrasound and saw our sweet little boy.........yep that's right peeps, we are having a little dirt magnet!! Jake and I are so excited to know and now we can call the little tike "our boy" and not, "the baby!"

Next on the baby agenda: Names and gettin' that nursery looking cutesy!!


AlSo: SuPeRbOwL pArTy WiTh ThE WITTWER ClAn AnD tHe TIBS!!!


These guys are taking an interest in the superbowl.....something I only did in the last 5 minutes........superbowl time is more a time to chat and eat yummy food with fam!! Oh and excuse my husband what a little sass.....look at that face!


Rozie and little Aden.......Rozie looks a little surprised, I swear she knew I was taking the pic!! Grandma enjoyed some quality time with the newest grandson.


Look at these freaking kids! They are so funny.....Parker doing some sort of ninja turtle move...Lily just being cool.....and Arianna just soaking up the fun!!


Hey ma and pa Wittwer!!


These two know what to do when a camera is around!! Major cheessiness from Ari.....it looks like maybe Ari is suffocating Lily.....hmmmm...she's a strong girl!!


Everybody loves me!!!


Hey its the Tibs!!! This is the only pic I could get Parks to smile.....he wanted to play games on the TV downstairs....what a terrible Aunt.... I don't have any little boy Xbox games !!! But he sure looks happy here, right!

Jay and his mommy Amber!! Amber is also having a little sweet boy. I believe she is due in April....or maybe May, crap I get confused....what's new..

long time....

So sorry fellow bloggers, I have been mia for a while! But the last three months hasn't quite been what I imagined....I guess I was sporting some intense rose colored glasses about the 1st trimester of pregnancy!! All you mothers know what I mean, but there are a select few that didn't get sick the first 4 months, which I am very envious of!!

So that's my explanation....good news though I am now 19 weeks and the last 3 weeks have been puke and nausea free, HOORAY!!! And in a week we find out the sex of the little one!!

AnY GuEsSEs???


Well in other news....we have a new nephew, Aden! He is off course like 7 weeks right now.....but I have been on a blogging strike....so here he is with his big sis Lily.


Welcome to the fam little Aden! We love you!!! Good job Gilberts on making some cute kiddos!!

ROOM FOR ONE MORE!!???

Well...............................SURPRISE!!!
.....my ego is prego, I'm preggs, preggers, there's a bun in the oven, we're expecting, however you want to put it, it is true!!! We are 12 weeks pregnant!!! YAY!!

We just had our first appointment and ultrasound, we got to see the little squirt and boy is he/she an active one......yikes for when there is limited space! I think Jake is secretly hoping for a boy, he likes the idea of the future little ones having an older brother, he grew up with 4 girls.......maybe that's why he is such a sweetie- Thank goodness for sisters!!

We'll see.....

CaRrOlL SpOoLtAcLuR!!!!

So this post has been sitting in my draft box for like......um.......a month!! I know, I am a total slacker....I am ashamed, please forgive me. My mom keeps saying when are you going to update your blog.....geez!! I know....

So this was the awesome halloween party the Carrolls put on.....great just like last year!!! Thanks guys!!! We played this awesome dinner party game.....it had actions and lines and triggers......it was so great!!


Here's the tough Bumble Bee and his sweet little girlie Uniquewa !!


Ello Arry Potter and Hermione Granger with their pink pal!


Ash and Dyn's costumes go together, she's always cheering on her man and Bumble's their to protect.....


What silly tourists......someone should help them they look lost.....the next guy will....
freaking hilarious aren't they!!


Hey there weird mad masochistic doc/scientist!

Of course Jake had to be something weird and funny.........he tried on his costume the night he got it.....I had to work at 6 in the am so I was sound asleep until....... of course I am awaken by a loud heeee-haaa and Jake riding his bull.....hmmmm

Here are those awesome newlyweds!! We were so glad you two could come!! Love you guys Sonny and Cher!!


My man being his manly bull riding self!! Go babe!


Look at that little Skeletor!! Um aren't skeletons supposed to be skin and bones.......well this is a little meatier skeleton!!! It took 3 people to squish him into his costume......he's not fat just big boned!!



In character of course!


Katie and Parker are such cuties and are such great friends!! Parker always says he has strong muscles so he can protect his little Katie.....she loves it!!


Hey seester!!!


Dylan's pretty pumped right? Yeah, and whats new chunky skeletor is eating......


Papa and Big Jack


Jake was lucky enough to be voted best costume, but in my fam....that means funniest costume. Frumpy came in a very close second though.....and he was hilarious too!!
Jake also wore his costume to work, they transformed their back room into a spooky halloween town.......I wasn't able to go, but I hear it was fun for the kiddos!! He also won second place for his costume......that's my babe!!


April (aka) Hermione is giving us the low down on the fun dinner party game we are about to play......we had to listen closely, it could get complicated!! A couple of items on the menu: frosted flesh, lobotomist tool, crimescene clean-up and.....I can't remember anymore off the top of my head, but they were all ghastly names.

A wedding and old friends

Our sweet Pony wedded!!

Check out these two, are they a beautiful couple or what!! They got married in the Mt. Timanogos temple......soooooo gorgeous!! One of my favorites now!!



In love and googly eyes.....hopefully their thoughts are pure......yeah right....they just got hitched!!


They really are a sweet sweet couple.......we love you pony and can't wait to get to know Brian better.....but from what we've seen.....he's a good one!!


Me and the seester!!!


Jake and Markham....they obviously think they are so GQ.......do you disagree?


Shad, Little Jake & Big Jake being their silly selves.....they have fun together!!



So here is the animal clan.....from left to right....chimp, panther, duck, rabbit, bunny, turtle, feesh and of course Katie wanted in the pic.....what a cutie!!

Explanation:
I was roommates with pony, feesh, rabbit- (my big sister) and hippo-(not pictured) at that great townhouse, we affectionately nicknamed "The Lex." From this group there are two Lindseys and two Jakes......so obviously the nicknames helped!! Jake joined the club soon after we started dating and he had 2 cutie friends that were also initiated into our little animal herd...and of course once Markham married buuny he was added.......we were so silly....I love it!!

The girls and their sweet married Pony......

Dearest Pony...........
We are so glad you found your perfect match.......we couln't be happier for you!!! We are so glad we could share a little part of such a happy day for you! You are such a gorgeous bride and Brian a handsome groom....although I am sure I don't need to tell you that.....I saw those lustfull looks you two were shootn' at eachother!! Love ya Walkers!!

Little Pony to Wed!!

This is one of my sweet old roomies, Pony, aka Lindsey. We had to have these nicknames because well for one it was funny and two, obviously we share something amazing........um our names! But she is getting hitched Oct.16th and I couldn't be more excited for her!! It was so fun to see her at the shower.

I think all us married women embarrassed her.........yikes......but this was to no surprise from her, she knows us all so well!!


I had to get a snap of April and little Jackson, I mean look at that little chubby guy all nice and toasty in his outfit!! Love it! And of course April is a cutie too......what a sweet pic!!


I know what you are thinking.....um why is the fiance at the shower, hello! He occupied himself during the shower with a friend, but in the end he couldn't stay away any longer! So we had them cut this cake.....look closely




One of Pony's old roommates made this cake........it is so funny!!


Ash and Pony


And then of course all the old roomies!! Yeah!

We love you Pony and can't wait to see you in all white soon......a married woman!!


Really quick I thought I would show you all something VERY disturbing, one of those things that is terrible but you can't help but look...............









Handle bar mustache..........really nasty!! Jake thinks it is so funny because it is so gross. I told him it looked sick, although funny, and told him to shave it off, it however took him 2 days until he met my demands......u can imagine my embarrassment!

I mean people who don't know him and his funny personality think that he really likes this look!
