Brandon's Hair Cut Mishap

So last night Brandon decided he wanted to cut his hair and have me help him even it out. Well I told him it he should just go to a salon because I'm not good with a shaver and I didn't want him or I to screw something up (He has such nice, thick, hair). So anyway, he cut most of it and had me "help" blend it. Well, I didn't realize the guard wasn't on and I cut out a big chunk of hair in the back of his head! I screwed it up big time! Brandon just kinda laughed it off and the only thing left to do was buzz it all off. So...thanks to me (and him for not going to a salon like I said ;)) he's got a brand new hair do.

He looks like a tough guy now. ;)

Camping

We went camping this weekend up Logan canyon which was a lot of fun. It's something that Brandon and I have never done together. We went with his dad and Lynette, some of their friends, and Lynette's daughter and family. On Friday night we walked a little hike near our camp spot and then later drove down to Bear Lake and got shakes. Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast and then we went and toured the Minnetonka Caves, which was kinda cool. We brought Kuda along and he loved every minute of camping. He enjoyed the hikes and getting to run around outside all day. He got sooooo dirty. He was white when we arrived on Friday and brown by the time we left on Sunday. He had a lot of fun though. Here's a pic of dirty Kuda. We didn't get any pics of us though! We need to get better at taking pictures.

It's a Boy!!

We had our doctor's appointment this morning and the doc says we're having a boy. :) It was kind of hard for him to tell in the ultrasound because the little guy had his hands between his legs at one point he he. But the doc's pretty sure it's a boy. He will be able to tell us 100% sure at our next appointment though.


I took a pic of the ultrasound photo, so it's kind of hard to tell but he has his head down and arms together.

Happy Birthday Brandon!

So last week was a very busy birthday week in my family. Kim's birthday was the 15th, Angie's the 18th, Brandon's the 20th, Grandma Barnes' the 21st, and also Father's Day!! It was a lot of fun. Unfornutely for Brandon, he had to work on his birthday and Father's day. But we still celebrated. His mom took us to Olive Garden for dinner on Friday night along with Brandon's sister, Brittany, and her husband John. It's always fun to get together with the fam. When Brandon got home from work on Saturday (his B-day) we ate out a Guadalajara Grill. Brandon told me not to buy him anything cuz he wants to pick out stereo equipment for his car. What he truly wanted though was a motorcycle. He's been wanting one so bad for the past couple of months. But he decided against it because we have a baby on the way. I just have to say how much I love him. He always treats me so well. He is a loving husband and very supportive of the things I do. He's a very hard worker! He works 7 days on (12 hr. shifts) & 7 days off, and on his weeks off he is always working to get something done. Whether it's mowing the yard, working on the shed..he always has a project he wants to get done. He's also a perfectionist. He's very thorough in just about anything he does. Some people may not know, but he is a great artist. His specialty is drawing cars, and he is amazing at it! I could go on & on about the wonderful person he is. He is everything to me & I feel so lucky to have him as my husband and future father of our kids.

Happy Birthday babe! I promise we'll get you that motorcyle. ;)

Dr. Appointment

I had my second Dr.'s appointment on Monday. I am seeing Dr. Naisbitt at the Circle of Life Women's Center. Brandon and I both really liked him. He is really personable and definitely knows his stuff. We had our first ultrasound and got to hear the baby's heartbeat! It was awesome to see that there is actually a being growing inside of me...so weird! At the Circle of Life they give you a dvd and record the ultrasounds at every appointment, which is one of the reasons I switched to this facility. It was a really cool experience and I look forward to many more (where you can actually see that it's a real baby). Dr. Naisbitt said that I should be able to find out what I'm having at my next appointment, July 8th!! Woot woot.

The little jelly bean. :)

Kim & Josh's Fairytale Wedding

So yesterday was the big day. Josh & Kim finally got married. It was one of the most beautiful weddings I have been to. Everything went very smoothly. There were thunderstorms during the reception, but at least we were covered so it didn't matter. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple and the ceremony was great. I was a bawl baby during it (I blame it on being pregnant ha).



The luncheon was held at the Old Meeting House in Holladay. It used to be a church that has been remodeled and is now used for weddings. The food was great! Chicken cordon bleu, rice, carrots, salad, rolls, and cheesecake...mmmm.



The best part of the luncheon was when Josh got up and sang to Kim "I'm the Luckiest" by Ben Folds. We were all crying. It was just so cute and sweet.

The reception was held at Le Jardin in Sandy which is a really pretty greenhouse decked out in plants and flowers. It was beautiful. And they did the best dessert ever...an ice cream bar. You got to pick your ice cream flavors and toppings. It was so yummy.

After the bouquet and garder toss, we all went outside where their photographer had a cute little bike set up that said Just Married on the back. She had Josh ride it around a few times with Kim chasing him...so funny. :P

A few cousins got together and decked out their car. The pic is kind of dark.

It was a really fun day and I wish Kim and Josh the best! They are one very happy couple!

Gracie is here!!

For those of you who don't know, my best friend Amanda and her hubby Blake have been going through the adoption process for a year now. They were lucky to meet Jenna who was thinking of giving up her baby once it was born. Jenna picked them to be the adoptive parents. So we have all waited the last few weeks for the baby to arrive. She finally got here yesterday at 4:43 pm and weighed in at 7 lbs, 6 oz and 19 in. long. They will get to bring her home later this evening. She is so beautiful and is just an amazing blessing.

This pic was taken by Blake at the hospital yesterday.


This was me holding her at the hospital today. She is so cute! She kept making all these funny faces he he.
