Its a GIRL! :)

We are having a baby girl....we are so excited for this little girl to come!! The ultrasound went very well..She was a very active little girl so it took the lady awhile to get all the measurements she needed! They told me that I might need to come back for another ultrasound in about a month because my placenta was a little to low and they are hoping that it will be higher next time I come in...if not I might have to have a c-section...Anyway she looked good and healthy so we are very excited!! Its so nice to finally be able to call "it" a "her" now :)...Sorry baby tate for not being able to give you a boy cousin!

BOY OR GIRL??

Ok everyone tomorrow is the big day....so put in your votes, do you think it is a boy or a girl??? I want to hear your input!!!

17 Weeks!

Ok here is my 17 week photo....you can kinda see my little baby bump but it isn't to prominant yet! I am finally over the morning sickness, I will throw up maybe once a week... I found that I have to keep myself busy or I will get sick, so I can't lay around on the weekends like I would like too :(.... I really like apples and yogurt right now, I eat those everyday! Other than that I really don't crave anything, I just have a lot of foods that don't ever sound good to eat. I don't seem to get tired like a lot of people warned I would, maybe it just hasn't hit yet! Smells really get to me though, I had to stop making roast on sundays because I couldn't handle the smell when I got home from church. It's starting to get a little better now, it seemed much worse at the beginning! Lastly we get to find out what we are having in exactly 2 weeks and we can't wait, wahoo! :)

Cinco De Mayo!!

It's been 3 years since we've tied the knot and it's only gotten better as each day goes on. I'm the luckiest man in the world to have such a fun best friend as my amazing wife! I love you honey!

WERE GONNA HAVE A BABY!! :)

Thats right everyone we are finally going to have a little baby :)!!!! It took us a little while, but I just needed to wait until I had a full time job i guess. I found out the night before I told eric...So after I found out I had my friend buy me this cute baby outfit while I was at work and then I put the pregnancy test with the outfit in a little present and put it on his bed...He read the card I had made first and his face was priceless :) he was really surprised and excited! The baby is due November 2nd and we got to hear the heart beat last week....The doctor says its a healthy heart beat and that everything looked good so far!! I was kinda disappointed they didn't do an ultrasound of anything so I could see the little thing, but I guess it will be more exciting when I finally do get to see it!! Anyway the pregnancy has gone ok so far...Morning sickness hit me at 8weeks and I was sick all day every day for about 1 month...so it is just now getting a little better..its on and off now instead of all day, so I'm hoping it will just stop soon :) I feel for all those sick pregnant ladies, and finally know how it feels blah!!! Even with the sickness we are excited to be at this point in life, and I'm soo grateful for a husband that is willing to go to school full time and cook his wife dinner when she doesn't feel well!! He is the best and is going to be such a good daddy!!

Spontaneous Getaway Weekend!

So Chase and Alex called us up out of the blue a few weekends back and let us know they had rented a beach condo for the night and invited us to come....so we quickly packed our bags and headed down to Rockaway Beach!

This was the beautiful view from the condo that we had....We had a great night, just talking and watching I'm Alive hahaha....Good times, good times! "Manny" (haha chase and alex are the only ones who will understand that!)

The next morning we headed up toward Cannon Beach and stopped at a lookout point in Manzanita. While we were there looking over the edge chase and eric found a little path, so we decided to be adventurous and see where it would take us!

Here is Eric on the path.

We ended up finding this amazing little point over looking the waves crashing on to the Rocky Cliffs below us.

It was a pretty cool site, and we wouldn't mind coming back and making a little camp fire next time...

We all ended up getting completely soaked, but I think it was worth it!

After the lookout we went and ate at this little pizza place in Cannon Beach. Our server said it was in the top 50 pizza restauraunts in the U.S. and we definetely believe him. It was soooo good, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it! :) Thanks Chase and Alex for an Amazing Weekend...We can't wait to hangout again!

Spring Break in Hawaii 2010

The First day we went hiking in one of the state parks... We had a great time exploring and checking out the view...and we even got to see some wild pigs!!! That was a first for me and eric.

The view from the Hike

Yes there is a mosquito above my eye...They were driving me crazy~

Eric climbing in the trees.

Next that day we went exploring in Sharks Cove. You could see a lot of the fish just swimming around in all the little pools...And the video we have is of eric exploring above the rocks on the little plateu, he underestimated the power of the waves crashing up onto it haha!

Shark Cove View.

The next morning me and eric headed to Pearl Harbor...We didn't stay long because nothing was really free like we expected it to be. But we did have some nice people give us their ear phone things so we could listen to the history of it as we walked around..

Us in front of the Anchor at Pearl Harbor, before we picked up angie and darci with the kids at the airport.

Then we headed to a beach close to their house to play around before it got dark.

The next day we headed to the swap meet to get lots of fun little things and then headed to the beach to have some fun...We did lots of Body boarding, relaxing, and even built a little sand castle for our Nephew Drake to destroy!!

Body Boarding.

Thursday I got the flu or something that was being passed around so I took the day off and eric went with the family to the PCC...They had a great time playing with spears, fishing, playing other fun games, etc. They said the show that night was pretty impressive too... I wish I could have been there with them, but I got to stay home and read a book ha.

Eric dancing with alyssa and mckenna.

The last day we were there we headed back to sharks cove to snorkel and hangout...Then we headed into north shore to get my favorite Acai Bowls and eat some lunch...Then we headed back to the beach for the last time before we had to leave...

Eric and the family eating lunch.

Eric swimming in the water with a sea turtle...If you look closely you can see his head poking out of the water to the right of eric. We had a great last day and wish we could have stayed longer...The time flies by when you are having fun...Thanks angie for being so accommodating and everything while we were there...We are so lucky to have such great family!!! And hopefully we can come again sometime soon!

Eric and Brock after they got done surfing!!!

This video cracks me up!!!
