Playing catch up AGAIN...THE ZOO!!!

We had so much fun at the Hogle Zoo. It was the first time Pratt had been to the zoo and he loved it. We met Tyson's aunt and a few of his cousins there and spent the day and it was so fun. Pratt did NOT like the dinosaurs. He loved the idea of dinosaurs and talked about them the whole time but he was terrified of the actual statues. Especially the ones that moved.
It was also so fun to go do something as a family. It's so hard with Tyson's work schedule to actually be able to spend a day together and spend ALL day together. It was so fun and much needed. Tyson's mom came too and bought Pratt this green tiger (that I didn't get a picture of). He had to have the green one. She kept trying to convince him to get a normal colored tiger but he wanted the green one. Now he sleeps with his tiger at night and his tiger protects him. He loves it. And he appropriately named him....wait for it....Tiger:)

4th of July fun!

So this post is a little bit backwards as are many as of recently. We got a new computer and it's a little weird. Anyways so we are starting at the end of the night and then going to the morning:) Pratt LOVES fireworks, specifically sparklers. I'm pretty sure he went through about 20 by himself. We went to West Points firework show as well and he thought that was pretty cool too. I love this time of year. All of my favorite "F" words are around this time of year. Fun, Family, Fireworks, Friends, Food and did I mention Fun? We had such a good day yesterday and I'm so thankful for all of those who fought and are still fighting for our country who make all of this possible for us.





My Boys! Oh how I love them!

In the morning we go to Grandma and Grandpa Wintle's for a big family breakfast and it's so yummy and fun. They also have an annual ping pong tournament. I missed the big crowd playing but there were a lot more people at one point. All of the kids are dressed up cute in their red, white, and blue and it's just fun to see everyone and eat good food. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for doing this every year. It's something we always look forward to.







Cousins

13 weeks and counting!

So with my pregnancy with Pratt I think I started taking belly pics a lot earlier on and I've been meaning to take a picture like this since about 8 weeks along but life gets in the way. So here I am at 13 weeks. Just a little bit about this pregnancy since this is my journal and I want to remember. With this pregnancy I didn't start feeling nauseated until about 10 weeks. Which has been so nice as compared to being sick at 4 weeks with pratt. I've been really tired and emotional with this baby which has been different from my first pregnancy. I spotted a little bit just the last few days but not too bad and just old blood so I'm just trusting that everything is ok. I had my first ultrasound at 9 1/2 weeks and the baby was beautiful. Kind of looked like a little bear and so cute. And at my last appointment last week the baby's heartbeat sounded perfect. My next appointment is on July 20th and if all goes well we should be able to find out what we are having. My guess is a girl just because my pregnancies have felt so different so far but I guess I won't know for sure until then. But I'm so excited and can't wait!!! I know I still have a lot of time and pratt still has a lot of growing up to do before the baby comes but I'm also a little nervous about how it's all going to be. Guess we'll just take it one day at a time!

Flaming Gorge

We had so much fun at Flaming Gorge this year. Pratt asks me everyday since we've been home if we can go camping. Luckily there's another camping trip planned for next weekend:) Pratt is so fun and loves camping. He is such a boy and couldn't get enough of playing in the dirt, fishing with dad, and playing in the water with his cousins. Pratt was so tired after so many days of fun in the sun that he slept like this then entire way home. So funny! Thanks to everyone who made this trip possible!

Oh to be a kid again...

Remember when all you had to worry about was how big of a splash you could make in the puddles in the gutter? Ya I miss those days. As you can tell Pratt had a blast playing in the water the other day when we were outside doing yard work and washing cars. He couldn't get enough of the water in the gutters. He is such a water boy and loves loves loves to play in the hose, pools, and yes gutters! Oh to be a kid again!

The little bean!

So we went to our first Dr. appointment today and saw the little bean for the first time. So sweet! It makes me so excited and I feel like the time can't go by fast enough. I'm measuring at 9 weeks so I was a week off and my new due date is Jan 7. The doctor said if I'm ok to go early though we can try for a tax deduction and have a December 31st baby. We'll see how it goes. I'm just so excited that everything is good and the baby is growing and looking healthy. So we should be able to find out what we're having about the end of July! Hope the time goes by quick so I can start shopping!!

Memorial Day

We had a really good Memorial Day. Although it was a little cold for my taste. We went up and visited Jordan's grave and that's where I took all my pictures. I love the cemetaries on Memorial Day because they are so colorful and you see all the love that everybody has for those who have passed on. After visiting graves we went to Tony's Pizza with Ty's family and then just spent the rest of the day at home together as a family. It was a good day!
