6 Months

Here is my 6 month pic. I feel like the last week I have grown and people might be able to notice that I'm pregnant. It's funny because I think our girl will have one week where she grows a lot and then she'll stay the same for a couple weeks and then she'll grow a lot again and then not grow at all the next couple weeks. So I've kind of been growing in spurts. I still am feeling great! There are some days when I feel "more pregnant" than other. I guess more bloated or I feel her kicking more. Time is going by so fast. Third trimester here I come!!! (next week!)

Our Baby is a........

                      GIRL!!!!!! Yay!!!!

                       
(If you look close you can see her facial features, so cute!)

When we went to California for fall break I was able to get a 3D ultra sound by a doctor that's in my home ward. He let us know the great news of us having a baby girl! And he said that everything looks great! We secretly were hoping for a girl. Tyler actually thought it was going to be a girl all along and I had no clue. It will be really fun because she will have two cousin girls within a year and a half of each other. A week later we got our regular scheduled ultra sound and the machine they used was way bad quality compared to the 3D so we were so glad we took the trip down to get the 3d Ultrasound. Our little girl was being modest for the second ultrasound for most of the time but she eventualy opened up and the other doctor also confirmed she is a girl.

We are so excited to have a little girl and spoil her and dress up in all the cute girl clothes and accessories. I was surprised that Tyler said he wanted a girl all along. I've been saying for a while that after teaching Kindergarten I can have all girls and be happy. They are little angels compared to the boys in my class. I still am doing great with my pregnancy and haven't been sick at all! I'm feeling even better than I did at the beginning and am finally starting to show just a little bit. At least I think I am and then someone will find out I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant and will be shocked and say I'm not even showing haha.  The last few weeks I've been able to feel little flutter kicks and it's so crazy to think there's a full on baby inside of me. What a miracle!

Side Note: Sorry for all the post at once. I finally had time today to upload my pictures and post about them :)

Halloween Fun!

For Halloween this year, my sister sent me a blog of the cutest Halloween costume. It was of a girl wearing a skeleton shirt with a little skeleton baby on her belly and I just had to get it. I was going to make one but then it turned out the lady that sells the vinyls lives in Utah so I was able to buy one from her! Everyone loved it!

Halloween at school was super fun (and tiring) as usual. Here's one of my cute classes dressed up.

                           

We had some friends over to celebrate Halloween. It was so fun to see everyone and their cute family outfits!

Here is some of the food selections we had for the evening...

 We played some fun games involving popping each others ghost balloons and stealing each others candy.

Here is our awesome group of friends that came. Thanks everyone for coming!!

Fall Break

For Fall break we were so lucky and had some extra time to go home to La Canada for the weekend. My sister Kimberly, who's a freshmen at BYU, also came down with us. It was so fun to see my parents and my sister and her kids. We mostly just hung out at home but we made a trip to Santa Monica pier and celebrated Ethans 3rd birthday. I love my family!!

 Giant Macaroni and the pier..random

 Yes, that's a real bird. Some guy had a bunch of parrots

 As you can see from these pictures it is a very entertaining place. Do you see the ultra-flexable man in the background?

 Here is us with the rides in the background

 And even though it wasn't warm weather we had to sit on the beach for a little bit.

 Ethan's 3rd birthday!!

 Jen had me do a little photo shoot of Kylie.
