So today we woke up to a sick baby. Talan always comes in and wakes us up in the morning and when he did today the stuffed bear he slept with last night smelled REALLY bad. So Andy went to look at his bed and found Talan had thrown up everywhere!!! However Talan didn't act like he wasn't feeling well at all. He was running around and playing like normal. So we thought he would be ok. But 20 minutes later Andy looked at him and with one look could tell that he was about to get sick again, which he did... ALL OVER POOR ANDY. I'm so glad it wasn't me, Andy actually had to throw up afterwards as well cause it was so nasty! Again, after the 2nd throw up he seemed fine. We even still were able to go to a birthday party for his cousin. Although him and I mostly just sat on the couch watching Blue's Clues. After the party he took a nap and when he woke up EVERYTHING was covered in the nastiest diaper gross ever. Unfortunately Andy was already at work so I had to do the clean up from that one!
Bad thing #2 from today. I went to the store to buy Talan some Pedilite this morning. When I got home I got some trash out of the car and threw it away before coming inside. Later I couldn't find my phone anywhere so I took the house phone out by the dumpster and called my phone. Sure enough my pregnant brain had somehow allowed me to throw my cell phone away!!!!!!!!!!!! If I weren't pregnant I would climb in and get it myself, however I'm pretty sure digging around in disgusting dumpsters isn't advised for women who are 8 months pregnant. So instead I have to wait till Andy comes home tonight and can do it for me. Being without a cell phone SUCKS. I feel so unconnected from the world!!!
Bad thing #3 from today. Talan and I needed to go to the store. Talan loves to carry the car key to the car. Well today when we got to the car he decided to stick the key threw one of the holes in our hubcaps. Thanks Talan... now we are stranded. We don't have regular hubcaps and I tried for 20 minutes to pry the dang things off but I couldn't do it. So once again I have to wait till Andy gets home!!!!!!!!!
All this combined with it being 400 degrees outside and me being so pregnant I can barely move has just made for one heck of a day! I can't wait till it is over!!!!!!

Talan's first trip to Lagoon!!!!
This week my company had their summer party at Lagoon. Even though being 28 weeks pregnant and walking around in the 95 degree heat while watching people go on rides doesn't sound like my idea of a fun afternoon I decided to put on a happy face and go so Andy and Talan could have fun. It turned out to be a really fun day for all of us!
When we first got there I was nervous about what should be Talan's first ride cause I didn't want to put him on anything too scary and then have him terrified to go on anything else for the rest of the day.
We saw a cute little ferris wheel that was going slowly so we figured that would be perfect. What we didn't realize until Talan was strapped in was what we saw was just the loading and unloading of the ride. Talan was the last one on and suddenly the ride TOOK OFF. It was spinning so fast!!! Talan was grabbing on to Andy the entire time but by the second or third time around he was smiling and saying "up! up! up!". Here are pics of the first ride:
Waiting in line:
A little concerned before it started:
Dad is excited!
After the ride he wanted to get off ASAP. I actually had to ask them to let him off before his turn
After the ferris wheel we tried the merry go round. He was really excited in line, but once on the ride he had to sit waiting on his horse for over 5 minutes... which is way over the threshold of patience for a one year old. So he was pretty ticked
Dinner time!
Andy won him this hat by throwing a baseball 66 MPH, he did it on the first try! I was rather impressed!
His favorite ride by far was the train!! He got to sit next to his cousins which he loved cause it made him feel big. He kept looking out of the wrong side of the train though so he missed all the big animals. But he was excited just to see the ducks, he kept saying "quack!".
After that the batteries in our camera died :( but we were there till past 10. I was surprised Talan was able to stay awake that long. It was a great day!

While Andy was on his mission he collected an enormous amount of hideously ugly ties. Shortly after we were married he told me he had done it with the hopes of marrying a girl that would make the ties into a quilt for him. I of course laughed at him and asked why then he married me cause I don't do stuff like that!!!! So a few months ago I decided that if I can't do it myself I could hire someone to do it for me!!! So I put an ad online asking for a quilter (which surprisingly finding a quilter in Utah is not an easy task) and I finally found someone that would do it for a resonable price... I had no idea a custom quilt would be so expensive!!
Yesterday morning I woke up and made Andy a breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Then after lunch I gave him his present from Talan first. Talan got him 2 new nice ties. I then gave him a card from Talan that said "I hope you like the new ties I got you, I figured you could use some new ones since mom ruined your old ones". And then I gave him the quilt!!!! This is a video of him opening it. You'll notice the first thing he did was to point to all the ties he wished I didn't cut up. LOL, but really he does like it. He took it over to his mom's yesterday to show off to his whole family. And they all thought I was pretty dang clever!!! Sorry the video isn't the best quality, it was taken with my phone and I was laughing so it is pretty shaky!!
Talan loves the quilt!! He has been snuggling with it ever since Andy opened it.
Here is a close up picture of it. The ties are all so ugly!! But it actually made a pretty good looking quilt!
She also made these three pillows out of the skinny parts of the ties. We are going to give one to Talan, one to Cohen, and one to Abbey (the daughter we'll have in 5 years) so they all have something from Andy's mission.
I'm so happy with the way it turned out. And Andy loves it which is the best part. He is an AWESOME Dad and deserved to have a good day for it. Ever since I got pregnant he gets up with Talan EVERY MORNING and lets me sleep in. He gets Talan dressed and everything. And Talan really adores him. He is amazing!!!

ahhh... the joys of motherhood
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POST CONTAINS A STORY ABOUT POOP AND SHOULD NOT BE READ IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH... DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!!!
Talan is now sleeping in a big boy bed. We decided to switch him over now so that when Cohen is born he feels as much like a big boy as possible. Thankfully he hasn't figured out yet that he can get out of the bed by himself so naps and bedtime are still very easy. Today we got home from taking Andy to work and I changed his diaper before his nap and then laid him down in only his shirt and diaper like always. I could hear him in there playing on his bed for almost an hour. He had slept a little in the car so I wasn't surprised that he didn't want to sleep but was glad he was at least in there.
I was on the phone with my manager when suddenly he started SCREAMING. I figured he was just done being in there and wanted to come out. So I finished my phone call and went in to get him. He was standing in the middle of the bed HOLDING HIS DIAPER IN HIS HAND and screaming. And there was poop everywhere!!!!!! All down his legs, on his new bedding and even on the wall... but none on his hands so I really don't know how it got there. It was disgusting! And Talan was NOT happy to have it all over the place either. Gross, Gross, Gross!!!

I guess all the kitties are in pain...
For awhile now Talan has know what a dog, monkey, piggy, lion, tiger, and elephant says. I've tried to teach him other animal noises but he seems content to just know those. Well a few days ago he started to randomly say "ow, ow" like he was in real pain. At first we thought he was making fun of me because the day he started it I had been having belly pain and had been walking around saying "ow ow". Well when he kept doing it we thought maybe he really is in pain cause he is getting 2 or 3 molars right now.
Yesterday the mystery was solved. He was out with Andy and they saw a kitty. Talan pointed at it and said "ow ow" and each time we've asked him what a kitty says he'll say it again. But it is SO funny cause he says it like he is in pain. I don't know why all those poor kitties are in pain but Talan sure thinks they are!
I took this video of him doing his animal sounds in the car. You can't hear all of them cause he does them pretty quietly, but you can see how he looks like he is in pain when he talks about the kitties!
And just for fun here is a picture of me taken last week when I was 23 weeks along. I am all belly!!!

Just patting myself on the back
I just found out that I got an A in my Comparative World Lit class!!!! I am so excited that I got a good grade in that class. I really didn't think I would since the last test we took was on a book that I hadn't even finished reading yet so I only got half way through the test before giving up!
This was the last "class" that I had to take before I can get my 4 year degree. Now all that is left is a senior project which I really hope to be able to complete this summer. I know I started college back in 1999 so it's taken me almost 10 years, but with going on a mission, getting married, and having 1 1/2 kids I don't think that is that bad!!!!
YAY FOR ME!!!

Happy Birthday Andy!!!!
For Andy's birthday I wanted to do something different and fun. I heard of a restaurant up in Park City called The Snowed Inn. The restaurant sits on top of a mountain and the only way to get there is by horse drawn carriage. Very romantic! Everything at the restaurant is "cowboy style". It is more or less a fancy log cabin and the staff is all dressed up like cowboys. They even had a guy playing the guitar to serenade us during dinner!! The food was excellent and we had an awesome time!!!!!!!!!!!
The sleighs coming down the mountain to pick us up
My friend Jessy and her fiance just happened to have reservations at the same time as us. This is us waiting at the ski lift for the sleighs to come
Andy and I on the sleigh. It was still light out on the ride up, but when we came down at about 9:30 it was pitch dark. It was BEAUTIFUL. The stars were really bright and we had an awesome view of Park City
The cowboy singer. He was REALLY good
Andy and I at dinner. Andy hates this picture cause it looks like he has a massive double chin. LOL but it is just because he took it himself so he is sitting weird so we can both be in it.
The sleigh drivers
My friend Jessy thought they were really hot so she made me go with her to take a picture with them.
And this is how we found Talan sleeping at Grandma's when we came to get him. He LOVES that bunny and has to sleep with him every night!!!
We had an awesome time!!!!!!!!!!
