Going on VAY-KAY!

Friday morning we are heading to Rexburg, Idaho! I am so excited to go on vacation and see some family! (Oh I miss family!)

I have been feeling generally a lot better during the days this week. I just want to say that I am truly grateful that I am pregnant (even though I talk a lot about how sick I have been). Blake and I have wanted to start a family for a long time. We had to get outside help from fertility clinics to get where we are today. I am truly thankful for modern medicine.

I hope everyone has a fantastic 4th of July weekend!

I would like to share this beautiful video: Families Can Be Together Forever

Mutton Bustin

On Friday I went to the Doctor and got 2 bags of IV to see if that would help my nausea. I was throwing up all morning. I usually can't keep stuff down in the evening so this morning thing was new territory. I am not sure if the IV bags helped or not.

Saturday: 9am - Woke up ate breakfast

9:20 - Threw up said Raisin Bran breakfast

9:45 - Round 2 of breakfast fruit (stayed down!)

I have been looking on craigslist for a used crib to buy. I found the one that I really wanted and we went to Loveland and bought it! (My first baby purchase!)

Apollo got his hair cut in the above picture. The lady trimmed his beard a little too short. Now he looks like he has a sweet Mustache! He kinda looks like our little Nacho Mexi Dog now. So cute!

I really wanted to go somewhere fun on Saturday (whether I was feeling up to it or not) and we went to Greeley's Stampede Rodeo.

We ate yummy food, watched guys throw axes, listened to awesome country bands, and watched Mutton Bustin in the Park. The Mutton Bustin was the best part. Anyone with kids that weighed 55 lbs. or less could get on a lamb and ride it for as long as they could hold on. Man some of these kids could barely even walk, let alone ride these sheep.

I found this posted on YouTube of one of the kids. These kids get rocked! Crazyness?!!

Week 15

(You can see a part of the crib behind me... a little sneek peek!)

Forest Love

Blake and I ventured out to the Forest this past weekend. We went on a hike and shot our pistol and long rifle 22s.

Apollo loves hiking on the trails. That's his happy dog face.

Last week we went to the doctor's office for a checkup and we got to hear the baby's heart beat. Blake was like, "that sounds like a spaceship!"

The doctor also gave me some new nausea drugs to try out called Reglan and Phenegren. The Reglan has helped my sickness a ton! Hooray! I have only been throwing up once a week now which is awesome!

I love my Blake so much! He takes such good care of me and makes me laugh my freakin guts out.

We saw these flowers, I think they are honeysuckles? They are so beautiful!

This isn't a very good picture but I finished my paint-by-numbers! I think it turned out really good.

This has been a really wet spring/summer here in the Fort. We have had cray hail storms.

Ok, bye!

And the Beat Goes On...

So here I am at thirteen weeks, almost the end of the first trimester. Not really showing but definitely thicker in the middle. And still sick, sick, sick.

Blake and I have new callings in our ward! We team teach the 15, 16, 17 yr. old youth in Sunday School. Yesterday was our first lesson and it was really fun. I am really excited to be able to go to Relief Society now. I missed it when I was in primary!

On Saturday, we went to the Reservoir by our house. We wanted to go shooting but my sickness from my pregnancy prevents us from having too much fun unfortunately! But it will be worth it ... right?

The last picture is of us at Rocky Mountain National Park on Memorial Day. That trip had some super curvy roads.

I haven't been able to go grocery shopping for a couple of months now. Blake wanted me to go grocery shopping with him a couple of days ago and I told him it wouldn't be a good idea. I went with him anyway and I was gagging in the store. As soon as I left the store I threw up...HAHA I really do not like food and food still doesn't like me. (The kitchen is my worst enemy) :)

I am at home mostly all day now keeping myself entertained. I have been watching LOST on Netflix and I am thoroughly enjoying the craziness of it. I finished my Paint By Numbers and I will have to get a pic of it.

If you are not sick, enjoy your sick free day for me PLEASE!

Ok Bye!
