Let the celebration begin!

There are a lot of things going on in this picture. You can see some of the decorations that I woke up at 4:30 to put up for Alexis' birthday. You can also see the sweet glider that my mom bought Alexis for her birthday...it's the only place she sits to watch TV now. Lastly, you can see me in the background preparing the beautiful birthday strawberry shortcake.







There were balloons of all colors...











Streamers...









And beautifully wrapped presents...as you can see no expense was spared.









Check out that cake. Even though I bought the angel food cake already prepared at Target, I feel pretty good about the masterpiece that I created. Look how excited she is, I think I can see the baby making that same face in there.







YOU CAN DO IT!!! She got all but one of the candles and then a gust of wind came and blew out the last one. Good enough for me, I say wish granted. Let them eat cake.

Valentine's Day and Alivia Countdown

For Valentine's Day I surprised Alexis by taking her out to dinner and then to a hotel near Salt Lake to spend a night together. We decided to take some pictures to document the experience...










Apparently we were brushing our teeth the whole time.








Do you remember when you were little and you would make paper chains to countdown to Christmas? That is exactly what is going on here. 50 days until Alivia!








Here it is in all its glory. WOO!

Her eggo is prego

This is a picture of what 32 weeks looks like. Look how happy she is. It is crazy to think that in less than two months there will be a little person living with us. We can't wait. We play music to Alivia all the time, she loves Boston and Journey and every now and then a little old school hip hop. I'm hoping that when she is freaking out we can just put on some of the tunes she likes and it will remind her of being in the womb and calm her down. Anyway it's the final countdown...I guess I should get her room painted.
