Homecomings and Doctor Appointments

Ok so my camera battery has reached the end of it's life so I haven't been able to take any pictures, so I'm gonna post without pictures again. Last Monday Jake got home from his mission and it was so cool to be at the airport! I didn't go when Zac got home and I've always thought it'd be a neat experience and it was! Zac loves having his brother home! Now he has his work out buddy back and they play basketball every free night they get! It's fun to have him home to re-get to know him. From what I've seen he's adjusted really well and isn't weird at all! While he was gone quite a bit changed. He gained a sister-in-law, Sherry and Gordy remodeled their bedroom and living room, they moved their business into an office, and he is now on his way to being an uncle! Also, yesterday we had our 2nd appointment doctors appointment which was unfortunately scheduled over a work trip Zac had to go to. So while he's in Vegas with Gordy, Jake, Brant, Jason and the rest of Interform working or playing I'm not sure? My wonderful mom came with me to the appointment! The doctor I see is Dr. Terry at the new hospital in Murray and he is so amazing! After we met with him for a few minutes we went and did an ultrasound and saw the baby and it was so cool! I haven't gained a pound in the past 3 months and I have been feeling really great so I swear I felt that I wasn't pregnant anymore (impossible I know) but seeing the baby was so amazing and made it being pregnant feel real again! The baby was only a couple inches long but it actually looked like a little baby! I was expecting a black and white blob of something I couldn't make out. But we saw it's heart beat, the head, hands and arms, spine, and even it's cute little legs were crossed indian style! I can't wait for Zac to be able to see it! The next time we get another ultrasound we will find out what the sex is and we are really looking forward to that!

Christmas Surprise!

This Christmas was amazing! We had quite the surprise waiting for our families on Christmas morning. We went to Zac's parents first and then to my parents shortly after. Here's how it all went down. After opening a TON of presents the last gift we gave, we made them open together. So they opened the box and inside were two shirts that said Grandpa Moe, Grandma Terry, and Grandpa Gordy, Grandma Sherry!

SURPRISE.....WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!

We are just under 3 months and lets just say it was extremely tough to keep it a secret! I was a little over a week late so we took a pregnancy test and it was positive. We were in shock and I was in denial. So the next morning I bought another one and got another positive. My emotions were (and still are) a roller coaster and I just started bawling! Zac was really excited and being so supportive of my crazy emotions. After the initial shock wore off I was fine and we were able to be happy together! I was only sick for about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and it was really mild. I was nauseated in the morning when I woke up til about 1pm and then I was fine until it began again at 8 that night. So it really wasn't too bad...I think I got lucky! After I was done being sick, it still didn't really feel like I was pregnant. I think I was still in shock, it was a very unexpected surprise and we know nothing about pregnancy! We wanted so bad to talk to people about it! Anyway, we had our first docter's appointment a couple of weeks ago and we heard the heart beat and of course I started crying again (I'm so emotional already and being pregnant is making me WAY worse). Zac was all smiles and we were so happy! Hearing that was the most amazing thing in the world! Our next appointment is January 14th so I will keep everyone updated!

Moab Trip

This Thanksgiving weekend we took our traditional four wheeling trip to Moab. We had quite the crew again this year. It consisted of Sherry, Gordy, us, Brant, Lindsay, the Butterfield family, Hugh's brother and his wife, and then Aaron and Kristin met up with us that evening. We had such a good time! The weather turned out to be amazing! Only a little bit of rain in the mornings when we were still sleeping so it made the riding great, no dust. We left Draper at 8 Friday morning and got to Moab around 12:30ish. About an hour from Moab we got pulled over for speeding...oopsy. Brant and Lindsay had some left over pumpkin pie that they brought along and we decided to try and bribe the cop; pumpkin pie for a warning. Well, it didn't work. We still got the ticket which sucks but we didn't let it put a damper on the trip! So we kept on driving...at a slower pace of course. Finally we arrived in Moab but before we went to the hotel we all stopped, unloaded the four wheelers and road the Gemini Bridge trails which is always really pretty. After a couple of hours riding we headed back to the cars to be on our way to the hotel. Once we got settled in we went to dinner at the always delicious Moab Diner. When we got back to our hotel room a few of us gathered in Sherry and Gordo's room and played a few rounds of Speed Uno! Always a fun game! The next morning we met at breakfast and headed out for another day of fun! We went to Kane Creek which is probably the best trail we've found so far! You start out in the valley on dirt then make your way to the rocks and after that you make your way through the river bottoms where we're on dirt then back into the river and rocks! Such a blast! Then we loaded back up and went over to another trail called Fins and Things. It started out great, we do this trail every year. After about 30 minutes of riding we got to a steep hill that went down and then went back up pretty quick. Sherry and Gordy went first, then Zac and I followed. Brant and Lindsay were next and something went wrong and the four wheeler tumbled on top of them! It was so scary I've never seen anything like it! Brant was banged up pretty good and went unconscious for a minute, and poor Linds had a bloody nose and was saying her back hurt. Luckily there was a jeep close behind us and we managed to get them into the Jeep and to the road where the ambulance met us. To sum everything up Brant had some cuts and bruises but no major injuries and Lindsay came out with a fractured pelvis! They are such troopers and we're so glad that it wasn't worse! We hope Lindsay has a quick and hopefully a comfortable healing process!

Turkey Bowl

Thanksgiving morning at 9am about 12 to 14 of Zac's friends got together and played football. It was so much fun to watch them play! The weather was pretty cloudy and sprinkled only a for a little bit but other than that it was a great day for football! They played for 3 hours! I couldn't believe how long they played and I'm sure all of them were extremely sore the next day. Once they got done playing, Sherry had hot cinnamon rolls ready for them! All in all we had a great holiday!
