OOPS

Is it kind of obvious that I haven't cooked in a while?...

Yep, that's just the garlic bread that I COMPLETELY burned a few nights ago.

I mean come on, who burns probably the easiest thing to make? ME.

I think Zach was mortified when he saw what I did.

The smoke alarm went off 4 times.

I'm sure our neighbors thought our house was burning down.

When I was first pregnant I was SICK...

Everyone kept telling me that it would go away by the second trimester.

During that time cooking was the LAST thing on my mind.

Well, that terrible sickness lasted the ENTIRE 9 months.

I was sick pretty much up until I delivered. Trust me, it wasn't fun!!

So needless to say, I think I cooked a total of 5 times when I was preggo.

Poor Zachary!!

Now that I am feeling SO much better, I decided that I need to step it up.

Cooking for me and my husband has got to be a priority.

I LOVE to cook, I am just a little rusty at the moment.

Now that I'm lucky enough to be a stay at home mom,

(is that weird to anyone else?)

I have the time.

Starting now...

The Growing Belly

When I found out that I was pregnant, I decided to take a little

blogging hiatus...I spent that time focusing on school, work,

and oh yeah, growing a BABY!!

Can you even believe how BIG I got?!

Well, now that little Eloise is here safe and sound, I'm back to blogging.

It's good to be back!!

49ers

Today the San Francisco 49ers play in the NFC Championship game. Let's just say Zach hasn't been this excited for a football game in a long time! Hopefully they win and we will get to watch them play in a couple of weeks in the

SUPER BOWL!

Introducing Eloise

On December 26, 2011 we welcomed our first child, Eloise Madeline. She was five days late, but so worth the wait. We are loving being parents and feel so blessed to have such a happy and healthy baby. She has brought so much joy into our lives over the past 3 weeks.

We went to get her newborn pictures done and here is a sneak peak of the great pictures that were taken. http://photosbyaprillupus.blogspot.com/

We are grateful for those of you who have helped us in welcoming this new addition to our family.

It's a ...

GIRL!!!!

We decided that we wanted to do something

a little different to tell our families if

our baby is a boy or girl... So we had two cakes made.

Our families had to cut the cakes and see what color the

frosting was inside to get the exciting news.

Our family in Salt Lake got this cake...

And our family in San Antonio got this one.

Everyone was super excited when they saw

PINK!!

Well, everyone but Will... He was pretty heart broken

that it is not a boy.

We are beyond excited for our sweet baby girl.

We love HER so much already!!

Which one will it be??

So the date is set...

We are having our ULTRASOUND on MONDAY, August 1st!!

We will finally know what in the world is growing inside of me.

It has been SO hard not knowing.

BOY, or GIRL?? That is the question.

Too Long

18 WEEKS!

It has been way too long since our last update. Life has been busy, but we are still alive. We promise to have an up to date post coming very soon to catch up on what has been going on. But, in the mean time help us figure out what we are having! Is it a boy or a girl? Let us know what you think. We will hopefully find out soon for ourselves.
