It's the Holidays!

Jon's birthday was pretty low key this year. We are trying to save up $$ for the baby on the way so we went to Moore's for dinner and rented a movie to watch at home. It wasn't until a few days later that I realized we never sang him "Happy Birthday" or blow out candles. With my pregnancy hormones all hay wire this was a trigger for uncontrollable crying. Jon could have cared less about the singing and blowing out candles, but I was so upset... So even though we were a few days late.. we still sang and blew out candles.


Birthday Kisses!!




We had a very nice Thanksgiving in Heber City with all of my Moms Family. Unfortunately I didn't take one picture! We did venture out and did some Black Friday Shopping, but none of it was actually done on "Friday." We got a good deal on a stroller car seat combo, and everything at Old Navy was 50% off so I got some Maternity clothes!

Next day we worked on getting out the Christmas Decor!! 
For Jon & I this is our 3rd Christmas Married.. 4th Christmas Together
But it is also our 1st Christmas in our Home, and Mini's 1st Christmas. 
We were excited to get a nice pre-lit tree for the new house, and of course Christmas Lights!!

Spreading the News!

The secret is finally out!!

We have had a great time surprising everyone with the big news.

It all started on the morning of Sept 6th when the little plus showed up on my pregnancy test. 
Jon was already at work, so I left the test on the counter with this card sitting next to it.. I thought it was pretty clever;) It seemed like the longest day ever at work waiting for him to get home and find it!


Next around 8 weeks along we told my Mama. It was kind of a spur of the moment decision. Her and my Grandparents were at my house waiting for the guests to arrive to the barbecue we were hosting. I just couldn't keep it from her any longer! Earlier we had taken an 8 week picture of me, so I causally asked if she wanted to see the picture we took earlier. She obviously needed her "Grandma Glasses" on because she thought the "8 weeks" written in the picture said "Sweets" after telling her to look a little closer she said, "8 weeks! Why did you wait so long to tell me??" Haha... 


For Julianne's birthday we had a dinner with all her family. What a perfect time to give a her a "birthday present"... Everyone was very surprised when this was what she found!! Except for the fact that we spilled the news the week before... the gift was still a surprise though!

29 Weeks till we are Grandparents!
 For Jon's parents I put together something special. When Dianne opened it she didn't notice the last picture... until David told her to look a little closer! I sent a picture of it saying, "Look what we got Mom & Dad" to all Jon's siblings that night... After everyone responded but Stephanie I had Jon call her... She had looked past the last picture too!

Grandkids make life grand!


I had told my Mom she could tell Craig if she wanted, but she said that was my privilege... So we wrapped up a late birthday gift. He looks surprised, but the first thing he said was, "I saw that one coming..." I thought the t-shirt fit his style pretty well... He is going to make a good lookin gramps:)
Zoe took awhile to catch on what it meant if Dad was going to be a grandpa, but she was pretty excited when she figured out it meant she was going to be an aunt!

The Grandfather
Very last we posted this fun announcement on Facebook & Insta on Halloween right after our 2nd doctor visit. As of right now I am 14 weeks & Due May 9th. The babe is the size of a Lemon, about 3 inches long. Our last ultrasound was fun because the sweet thing was squirming all over and kept waving its little hand at us, but even when it looked more like a blob we were already in love. 



Now everyone knows!! Boy is it nice to get that big secret off our chest!!
Stay tuned for whether we will have a she or he!!
