Baby Update

So... I finally got a tummy picture... to be completely honest until a few weeks ago I just looked fat and not pregnant... so showing tummy pictures wasn't happening. I am now past my 24 week mark and feeling like a champ. I almost feel bad because this pregnancy thing has been a breeze and I know it isn't for most people. I feel great I still am able to work out a few times a week and seriously forget I'm pregnant most of the time until I look down or look at myself in the mirror!

As far as names go... we have nothing.... well, as far as Drew goes this little man is already named Harvey ... after Harvey Unga (sp?) ... a BYU running back(?) ...yeah... we'll see... but we are getting no where with this! Good thing we have a few more months right!

I love you mommy

Ty told me he loved me today for the first time as we were driving in the car and I had to write it down so I wouldn't forget. It was the sweetest thing ever to hear.

Ty's new ski

So... Drew totally splurged and bought Ty this super cool ski meant for toddlers... or small kids... or in our case even some adults :) It's awesome because it has spots for the kids to put their feet in like a ski and they hold a rope like a ski but it is totally a tube! First we dragged Ty on the grass outside our house, then dragged him in the water and then behind the wave runner and finally took him behind the boat! He was awesome... he'll be up on skii's in no time... at least that's the hope right.
Grandma promised a shake to anyone who tried the skii... meaning the grandkids... but Drew was all about getting a free shake!!

Here's Ty behind the boat he wasn't very happy about it at first and wouldn't let go of his star burst... but he did chill out and enjoy the ride after a few seconds... and then the battery died in my camera... so the video is short... but what a stud!

Here's Ty behind the wave runner... he's so cute... he totally let go to wave to everyone!

And here he is being dragged in the water... you can see how the EZ ski works.

If anyone wants to take their kids out for a ride let us know!! We'd love to take them! ... Bree and Sophie... you are next! :)

the 24th

One thing I love about living in Utah is that you get two holidays that are celebrated like the 4th of July. ...the second being the 24th of July which is like Utah's B-day I think... I should know this ... it happens to be my mother's birthday as well... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

This year we went with the Schriever's to the Bee's game and had a great time. Although the game was canceled due to team illness we were still entertained by some All Star high school teams and an amazing 16 year old hitter Brice Harper (?) who was on the cover of Sports Illustrated last month... I don't know... but Drew seemed pretty impressed to see him play.

All in all this was the first time Ty has seen fireworks. He loved them and just totally chilled out watching them. He, Bree and Sophie loved watching the Bee mascott Bumble... excpet that Ty would freak out if he came to close crying "Scared Bumble mommy!!"

Yummy ice cream face.
Ty was totally getting down and dancing every time the music came on.

It's a....

BOY!! And we are very excited about it... and Drew is on his way to getting that basketball team he's wanting :) He is healthy as can be. Now we get to start thinking of a name!

Spoiled

Drew's parents bought a vacation home in St. George this last month and I consider myself spoiled to to have another great place to get away to with family and friends. The house is perfect and has a pool in the back yard! It's also only like 15 minute drive to both Quail Creek and Sand Hollow Lakes so we couldn't be happier. We spent the 4th of July weekend there with most of Drew's family and had a great time breaking in the new house. I can't wait for more trips to come!

Drew taught Ty to scale the walls of the pool and he can do it all by himself!

Cail part 2

When Drew got to Cali we left for a great trip up to Oregon. Drew has never been there before and I really want him to see my grandparents place before they sold it. We stopped at "Trees of Mystery" on the way. My sister Inna and Alina came with us and I am so grateful... we couldn't have survived the drive with out them there to entertain Ty.

Here we are at Crater Lake.

Here we are at Silver Falls in Salem where we stayed with one of my greatest friends Sylvie-Anne. We had so much fun with them and my sisters LOVED the Russian food store they took us to.




A quick stop at the Portland, OR Temple... so beautiful.
A fun time up at my grandparents ranch just north of Portland. Ty had so much fun playing on the tractor and petting the horses


A beautiful drive down the Oregon Coast and a REALLY fun stop at the sand dunes for a little four wheeling.

After we got home from Oregon my whole family got together for a few days and had a great time.

Tye Dying T-shirts with the family. Thanks to my sister Donna for getting it all together!
This is my parents home and the home I grew up in. Sadly my parents plan on moving out of state next summer up to Oregon and I am so so sad.
My dad took all the grandkids for rides on the "tractor" they LOVED it... could n't get enough.
