No More LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay......so there has been some lieing going on......by me. I have been lieing to family and friends and even some ward members. I have decided to come clean and finally tell the truth. Enough is enough. Yes, Andie is going to be a big sister! I know I started that off a little dramatic....hehehe. We are so excited! It has been hard to keep it a seceret for as long as I did. For some reason people have been asking me like crazy or we get into the converstation of wanting to have another baby. I usually start telling everyone the seconed I find something exciting like this out. I told everyone very early with Andie. This time we decided it would be better to wait. I am 3 months. The little peanuts due date is May 25th. I have had my fair share of being sick and that would be the REAL reason for the lack of blogging. I think I have been twice as sick with this one than I was with Andie. My wonderful husband has been putting up with a disaster for a house and the dishes never done (they make me throw up). He is the busiest most hard working person I know, and when he got a chance yesterday after school to come and take a quick nap before work he did the mountain of dishes for me and cleaned up a little bit! To him he was just probably glad he could finally see the sink again but for me I almost cried. He did a wonderful service to me.
I hope that the sickeness will be over with in a couple of weeks. I don't know how people can deal with it through there whole pregnancy. yuck!
We are so excited for our new addition to the family and hope everything continues to go well with this pregnancy! I am sure from here on out there will plenty of pregnancy posts.

Fun in California!!!!

We had so much fun spending 6 days in Cali! It was nice to spend some time with Landen and I know that Andie loved seeing her Daddy more then just on the weekends. This is what we did:


Day One
We flew out of SLC at 8:15 a.m. When we arrieve to Long Beach airport and checked into our hotel we were off to Universal studios. Without realizing it we left our camera in one of the bags we left at the hotel. We had no camera for the whole first day. My sister took some for us though so when we get those from her I will post them. One of Andie's FAVORITE things that we did there was see Curious George. Right when she saw him walking around she ran right up to him and started hugging his leg. It was so cute. She loves George. It is so cute how she says his name.
Day Two, Three & Four
We spent those three days in Disneyland and California Andventure. Right when we walked into Disneyland and saw the castle Andie said, "Princess" Oh how she loves the princesses and tinkerbell. She had so much fun on all of the rides. We weren't sure if she would get scared on any or them or not. The first ride we decided to go on (because we were walking by and there was NOBODY in line) was pirates. Andie didn't get scared at all. She just sat there and watched things as they went by. She didn't even get scared on the big drop at the begining. After that ride we pretty much knew that none of the other rides were going to scare her, and none of them did. We mostly stuck with all of the kids rides, except for pirates and the haunted house ride ( which also didn't scare her). She had a lot of fun seeing all of the different characters and going on the different rides. On the third day they closed California adventure early and did a trick-or-treat thing with the characters. We went to that and Andie had a blast. She was dancing all over the place and just having a good time. We did so much those three days that I can't even remember it all.
Day Five
We spent the day at Sea World. The shows were really fun to go to and Andie can't get enough anykind of fish. She liked seeing the Dolphins jump in the air. By the end of the day I was SO EXAUSTED!!! This whole week it was SO HOT there. I was not expecting it to be so hot. All the people that worked at the different places that we went to kept saying that it is too hot to be October. I packed clothes for milder weather. I had to keep wearing the same couple of shorts or I would have died in the heat!
Day Six
We packed up all of our stuff and headed down to Huntington Beach. Of course right when we get there Andie falls into a dead sleep. There was no way the stroller was going on the sand so we just walked out on the pier while the rest of the family played in the water. We ate at some yummy place right by the pier and by the time we were done it was time to head back to the airport for our 7:00p.m flight home.
We have so many pictures and I have no idea what pictures go to what days so I am just putting them all at the end.

We stayed at Landens Grandparents house for two nights and spent the rest of the nights at the disneyland hotel. We are so greatful for all they did for us while we stayed with them. They made us some wonderful dinners and breakfasts. They did way too much for us but we really appreciate all that they did.
She is ready to go have fun on the new toy story ride! (it was such a fun ride)
She got so hot that day she just started laying in the shade!

She loved playing with these goats at Disneyland.

Our flight to California. She wasn't too happy when she had to be seat belted. Our flight home. Notice all the new princess toys


So many pictures and so much fun. We love pictures if you can't tell. If I didn't think I was already boring everybody I would have put more on here. Good thing I am using this as a type of history/journal for my family.
