Summer Fun and Stroller Shopping
So I have not updated in awhile so here goes. On the 4th of July we went down to Provo and hung out with Brad's family. While we were there we went to Nordstrom's to look at baby stuff. We were in the baby section and Lindsey put a plastic ball around her. I was really proud that it had fit around her pregnant belly!
My good friends from the cheesecake factory and I went to lunch this week at the Citrus Grill. It was really nice seeing them when we aren't all dressed in white and looking like marshmallows. Oh and by the way just to let you know national cheesecake day in the 30th. Come in and get a slice for $1.50!
This week I had the chance to watch my sweet niece Madison. I decided that we were going to go swimming. She was really excited about this until she realized how big the pool was. After about 20 minutes Madison was having fun and kicking her little legs around the pool.
Brad and I went Boondocks and Olive Garden this week for a date. We always play the basketball game there. I have to brag a bit....I beat him and got the high score on the machine! Brad beats me at a ton of things, but I seem to always do well at the game. We were going to play on the bumper boats, but I was having a hard time in the heat.
I think I have narrowed down my stroller search to two different strollers, the Quinny and Uppa Baby Vista. On Saturday Brad and I went to a couple of baby boutiques. I will post pictures of both and hopefully you all can help me decide which one to get. I like the Quinny because of the way it folds and unfolds. I also like it because it goes with the mico cosi carseat. I like the uppa baby because it comes with a bassinet and has a larger basket underneath the stroller.

Baby on the way
For those that do not know, Brad and I are expecting our first child in January! Last week I heard the heart beat and made me finally realize that something was growing inside me! We are both excited about all the changes that are going to happen in the next 6 months. Brad will graduate in December right before the baby comes, then hopefully we will be moving! We will find out what we are having at the end of August. If we have a boy we like the name Carter James ( James for my dad) and if it is a girl we like Brooklynn Ann (Ann after my sister and me).

Summer Trips
So this summer we decided to have a three week vacation extravaganza! We spent the first week on a cruise in Mexico with our friends Stacey and Jeff. We went to Cabo and Ensanada. Surprisingly we both enjoyed Ensanada more than Cabo. This might have had something to do with the fact that is was COLD in Cabo. When we got to Ensanada we rented scooters and went across town the the world's largest natural blow hole. We had so much fun looking through the shops there. We ate at this place that tried to give us margaritas instead of the jaimaica drink the guys ordered. All in all my favorite night on the ship was the formal night. We all got dressed up and had a nice dinner. We tried to go outside after dinner to take pictures, but is was really windy and cold.
Week two of our vacation was in Washington D.C. for my sister's wedding. We spent one day going downtown D.C. and looking at the monuments. We definitely could have spent a couple more days down there to see more sights. We stayed in old town Alexandria, which is now one of my favorite places! It was so beautiful and there was so much to do. One night my brother, Michon, Maddie, Brad, and I went down to a place called Bugsy's pizza for dinner. It was the best pizza I have ever had. If you are ever in Alexandria you must try this place. My sister Schelley got married on Saturday the 21st in the D.C. temple. She was absolutely gorgeous of course. I am really excited to have Nestor as my new brother in law.
Our final week of vacation was spent with Brad's family in Tennessee. It was really nice to have a relaxing week playing many games of rook with Brad's parents. I must say Brad's dad and I won every one : ) Being there made me realize how much I want to move there once Brad graduates in December. While we were there Brad's sister Jenny had her son's baby blessing. We were both excited to be apart of that.
We had a great three weeks, but I think we are both excited to be back in our apartment.
