Our Big little Girl!

Yesterday marked a big day for us. Roxy went potty twice in the toilet. Our big girl is really growing up. I have been talking to her about it for quite some time and even putting her on just to see what she would do, but to no avail she would just cry and want to get off. Yesterday was a different story. She was all about the potty. Needless to say we are so proud of our big little girl. I took this picture while we were eating lunch and I was saying what a big girl she was. She got so happy and well the picture speaks for it's self.

It's A...

Well the big day has come. Yesterday we went to the Dr. to see the ultrasound of our second baby. Doc says everything is very healthy and good. He did say that the baby measured big, but he still is going to leave the due date at February 4. He said it will be a nice surprise when it comes early. I tried a few times to scan a picture of the baby but they just aren't turning out so well. Which I'm sad to say because he got some cool shots. So before we started I asked if while looking at the ultrasound if I could tell what it was before he told us. That was fun becausel I guessed it right, same with Mark.

Before we went to the appointment we took a poll to see what our family thought. Like 85% thought that we were having a boy and I am proud to say that we are having a girl! Roxy will have a good play mate, and we hope that they will be the best of friends.

I was debating if we should find out what we are going to have and now that I know I wish that I would have waited because I just want out little girl here. I think I would feel the same if we were having a boy too, but we are so happy for our new addition and can't wait for the new arrival.

We really haven't thought about names too much. It's really hard for Mark and I, because what I like he doesn't and whatever he says he is just joking around. But we do have a while to figure things out. We didn't know Roxy's name tell after she was born. So we will just have to see about this one. Any suggestions?

Way Over Due!

Hey Friends and Family, sorry about the non existing blog. Things have been so crazy around here that the time has seemed to have flown by. From trips to UT and back we have kept busy as bees. We have had a lot going on this summer so sorry we haven't posted all of it as we went. There will be much to catch up on and a lot to write about.

Well after Roxy's b-day we went up to UT for the 4th of July to celebrate Mark's family getting together. Mark's Great Grandma celebrated her 100th birthday and a family gathering. That was fun but made for a lot of running around. The really nice thing about it was that Mark's sister Anne and her family came out for it and they stayed until Ben, Mark's brother, got married. Which took place 2 weeks after the family gathering. Raquel was nice enough to let me do her hair and make up. We had fun and she was beautiful. Which that girl is beautiful even if she was dressed in rags.Then we had to send Aaron Mark's other brother off on his mission to Mexico. It sure bought back a lot of memories about Trevor, my brother. The week after that Roxy and I spent the week up in UT right before school started. We had a lot of fun. Anyways that is our summer in a nut shell.





I was going through some things and found this beanie that the hospital gave us when Roxy was born and it was so big on her then that it didn't even fit. So when I found it again I wanted to see how it fit on her this time around. HAHA She loved it and wanted to wear it for a few days despite the 99 degree weather. It kind of makes her look like a boy, I think that is why I find it so funny.

Roxy loves to spend time with her Daddy. If it's playing in the front room to mowing the lawn or putting a new CD player in the car, she will cry as if the world is ending if she can't be with him. It really makes Mark feel special and gives me the brake I need to do somethings too.

We are saying good bye to Uncle Aaron the night before he left for the MTC. Good lookin hair cut if I do say so myself. And for you who don't know yet, yes that is a baby bump. We are expecting our new addition to come sometime in the later part of Jan or early Feb. We will update on what we are having next week and a sure due date. Again sorry for the delay of updates but now things are slowing down and more time for blogging.
