Helloooo NEW YORK!!!

So my aunt Terri called my mom up and said she found a great deal on tickets and a hotel to go to New York and asked her if we wanted to go. The deal was soooo great we couldn't say no. We left on a red eye flight friday night Sept. 5th. After maybe getting two hours of sleep we arrived at about 5:30 am New York time. We took the air train and the subway to our hotel in Time Square, but check in wasn't until 3:00pm so, we started the adventure.

1st stop: China town- canal street- shopping!!

(My cousin Jessica and I)

2nd stop: Statue of Liberty

We didnt take the fairy to actually go up to it. After no sleep and walking a ton, being on water didnt sound tooo exciting. And you have to leave somethings so you have a reason to go back right?

Finally around 3 we got to the hotel and slept for about 5 hours. (much needed) Then we went our on the town in Time Square. It was soooo pretty. A ton of lights!!!!

Sunday morning we got up and went to the Temple by Central Park. We planned on going to the ward in the church building underneith the temple but it was all closed for renovation. :-( But it had 3 other church buildings listed that we could go to so we went to another one. While we were sitting in the chapel waiting, Mitt Romney walked in! He was there visiting his sons family that blessed there baby that day. So that was pretty neat.

After church we walked around Central park and then went to the Impire State Building. Over all it was a lot of walking but we had sooooo much fun.

5 months!!

Well, its starting to get in the way of things. Cutting hair- it gets in the way when I am washing clients hair in the sink and reaching for shampoos, I definitely cant button my pants anymore, sleeping is interesting and when Aaron gives me his nice bear hugs, its not so nice anymore. I can only imagine how much it will get in the way in a few more months. BUT....
I love being pregnant. It is such a miracle. I have been feeling it kick and move around. Its soo exciting! I cant wait for it to get bigger so Aaron can feel it kick.

The Roofers!!!!!

So last week they started putting new roofs on our townhomes. You would think with chances of thunderstorms all week they would be careful and have some tarps laying around right? Wrong! Wednesday night it poured!!!! and well 9 units had water damage. Including ours :-(


Luckily Aaron had started doing the hardwood floors in the front room so almost everything was moved to the garage and the drips in our bedroom missed our stuff so the damage was just the warped hard wood that Aaron just put in and the carpets.


The roofers only took off one side of the roof on my house so it was dry in the other bedroom so they had to stuff everything in there.

We had to stay in a hotel for 5 days!!! I was sooo sick of not having any structure and eating like crap that I cleaned and organized the spare room so we could at least be home and have a kitchen. Oh and the insurance company from the roofers just came yesterday so we are going to live in craziness for a while. :-(

The Renaissance Festival

Today we went to the Renaissance Festival with my parents and sister Kim. It was definitely interesting. Aaron believes it is a place where weird people go to feel normal. I agree. It was a lot of walking but it was fun. Aaron ate a huge turkey leg and a fun ice cream thingy out of an orange peel. He fit in with the rest of the peasants. I on the other hand, ate pizza and french fries. :-) We watched a hypnotist that was pretty funny and a pretty cool jousting competition.

4th of July weekend

Aaron and I drove to Utah to hang out with his family for the fourth. We went camping wednesday and thursday night then stayed at Aarons parents new house in Lehi for the rest of the weekend. (there house is sooooo beautiful) We had a lot of fun. The camp ground was perfect, tons of shade from the sun and a river right next to us.
(I need to be better at taking pictures but this time I will blame it on the morning sickness. ) Here is Aaron building a dam with Nathan and Joey. All the little kids (Aaron included) loved playing in the water.

I will admit, i slept a lot (this whole pregnancy, being tired thing is cramping my lifestyle...j/k) but I did take a little hike with the nephews up the mountain but I mostly chilled in the camp ground. Aaron had a lot of fun riding the dirt bikes. He wants one sooooo bad.

Friday night for the fourth we all had a BBQ at Aarons parents house then watched the fireworks from there backyard. We had so much fun seeing everyone again. And the fireworks were beautiful.

Im a slacker, I know.....

So I know its for a good cause and all but my first trimester was horrible!!! Ok so it could be worse im sure but feeling like you are going to throw up all the time is not my idea of fun. I told Aaron that we will only be having one child. (i was partially kidding) But I am finally feeling a lot better now (15 weeks) and I have a lot more energy so I will make up for slacking by adding some blogs. :-) (I took this myself so thats why my head is chopped off)

Aaron kidnapped me!!!

It was sooooo cute. Aaron surprised me at work just as I was walking out the door to come home. He said "get in the truck Im kidnapping you. " So I get in and earlier he said something about a rodeo in Greeley so i figured we were going there. But then we turned west instead of east on the highway so i started asking questions. He, of coarse, wouldn't tell me anything so I guessed. I always know when he is lying to me so when I said "Carter Lake" I knew we were going there.
Aaron is the best husband ever!! We sat out and relaxed by the lake soaking up the sun and playing skipbo. And he brought chicken and corn on the cob to cook on our new camping BBQer for dinner. It was the best corn on the cob ever!!! He even brought our swimsuits but the water was waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy toooooo cold. Since I have felt soo sick lately and didnt have much energy, I was pretty sick of being home and not doing anything so this was a perfect little get-away.
