Winter Love!

NOTHIN' CUTER THAN LITTLE SIBLINGS LOVIN' EACH OTHER!!!
Asher and Elsa are best buddies!
He is her little tormentor and protector!
She is his biggest fan!
They have so much fun together!

Spring 2012 LA Trip!!!

 
Elsa's first day at the beach! She started out on the blankets because she was very very scared of the sand.  She would curl up like a ball and cry if you tried to stand her on the sand, but patient daddy got her used to it and loving it! Then we all had more fun! YAY!
 It was Asher's first day at the beach as well, and he started out afraid and was so mad when he got it on this hands, but as you see below, was soon enthralled and loving it!!!  
He just needed his cousins to show him the way!
I love his smile in this one!!!
 Oh and forgot to mention that he got thrown under a small wave and became very sandy and wet, so we stripped him down and the underwear thing worked great!!!
 It was just too fun to watch his his joy!
 
 
 

EASTER EGG HUNT
Asher with his disheveled hair found his eggs and man! was that candy gobbled up in 2 seconds!

 Here is the whole group of grandkids together (minus the few Lunt boys who couldn't make it:( )  See how outnumbered Asher is!!!! Good thing Charity and I are both having boys this year!  Although, girls are really too much fun! And my older nieces were SO much help!!!! I mean look at that pic below of Eden and Elsa!! The love, nurturing, and girlishness was so there!
Asher loved that pool behind him! He was SO content to swim and play in the shallow for hours upon hours (wish I had a better picture. I just get so distracted with my sweet family that I forget about the camera!)! It made me really want to have a pool nearby that we could go to!!!  I will have to find something!
 
My Stunning and only Brother, Adam, and His gorgeous new wife, MaryAnn, got married in the Los Angeles, California LDS Temple and it was one of the most spiritual, beautiful days for both families involved!  Unfortunately, I was so caught up in everything that I have basically no pictures of it--still hoping for some from the photographer or someone!
 Here is the beautiful bride talking with the little nieces who LOVE her in her gorgeous dress!!!
 Here is my hot groom of 5 years!!! Aren't I lucky!?
 Here are the 3 pregnant sisters!  So far we know that 2 of us are having boys!  Charity's 5th kid, but 1st boy!  My 3rd kid, but 2nd boy! And Julie's 1st altogether!  We are so excited!

BACK TO THE BEACH!
 Even though the water was SOOO cold, Micah, Scotty, and TJ were brave enough to BOOGIE BOARD!  They had so much fun!  I was a little jealous, but still too afraid to get in!
 We rented bikes and biked along Santa Monica beach!  It was so beautiful!  
Then we went to the Marina and enjoyed the view!
 My kids adore their Aunt Julie and Uncle Scottie!
The last time at the beach was more relaxing than anything, but still so so fun!!!
I love my little Belsa in her daddy's sunglasses!  Too Cute!

EXPECTING BABY #3!

So I had my first Doctor's Appointment today, even though I am 13 weeks (there were complications with my Doctor moving to a new office and such), and it went well!  The heart beat was great, the pap wasn't even that bad and everything looked healthy and right.  I am due around Sept 8-12 (not exactly sure until I have an ultrasound).  I am so so happy everything is okay.  I have been really nauseous (and the only way to curb it is to eat ALL THE TIME) and exhausted (and to go to bed Early), but no actual vomiting this time around (just lots of gagging).  So, things are going pretty well. SADLY, I have already gained 15 pounds and have been really sad about my intense eight gain, but I am trying to have perspective and be happy with myself and just wear maternity clothes so I don't feel so blah.  Most importantly I am just grateful that I am pregnant and things are okay thus far.  And that I have such a kind, kind, kind husband who make me feel so good and is so helpful!
