Six years! (This one is for you)

I did not want today to slip by and not tell Scotty Happy Anniversary! We have been married six years today. Unfortunately we have to spend today apart, come to think of it this year we have been apart on Valentines day, Scottys birthday, our anniversary, and we will still be apart on my birthday. And the reason behind our time apart is because I have the most amazing husband who works so hard and sacrifices so much for our family!
Scotty I love you so much! I have to say I am the luckiest girl to be able to be married to you. Thanks for being the most amazing person I know. We miss you so much and we are counting down the days till we get to see you again.

Summer in Utah!! (Very long post)

Barrick and I were lucky enough to go to Utah after Hawaii and wow what a summer!! We were there for almost a month and our trip was full of lots of fun, love and good times. Thanks everyone for making our trip so memorable, we miss you all!!
Here are just a few of the fun things we did while it Utah.

Barrick with his cousin Khloe doing "Horsey" with grandma this was one of the few things that Barrick did as often as we aloud it.
The other game was shooting hoops with Grandpa. No matter what time of day once grandpa was home from work they were shooting. Also if you know Barrick he is non stop he really could do this for hours.
Here we are at a party in SLC for Barrick's Great Grandpa Stewart's sister. Barrick with Grandma Stewart and Kallii.
Here is Grandpa Stewart with his family.
Of course one with Grandpa Stewart.
We went up to our cabin in Christmas meadows for the weekend and had a blast!! Here is Barrick with Gma and Gpa and Kylee going for a walk.
One with mama and Barrick.
Here is Barrick with Gpa. Uncle Morgan made a swing for the kids in the cabin when it was raining, and as you can see it was a hit.
The next two are pictures of Barrick in the Razor. He found a new love for cars because he was aloud to sit on laps and help the person drive. He now is obssesed with keys and thinks he needs to drive anytime we leave the house.



Barrick and Aunt Ariane climbing on the rocks in Flinstone Village.
Barrick sword fighting with his cousin Kendrick.
Barrick with some of his cousins. As you can see Barrick was spoiled with loves. Anywhere he went he had someone there catering to him.
Barrick with his favorite buddy Muki. Muki put up with a lot from Barrick. He became his personal pillow and snuggler, Barrick was also convinced he could ride muki. Anywhere Muki was Barrick was right there next to him.
The next two pictures are when we found out we were having a boy and a girl. My family came over and we wrapped up the two outfits and had Barrick open them.

Barrick gettng loves from Kylee and of course Muki had to be in the picture.
This night we went up to my parents ward camp out and had dinner. Barrick had to wear his matching U of U shirt with Gpa.
Here we are at the Davis county fair. We went with Gma, and my sister Ariane and her kids. We had such a fun day!! Barrick and Addy getting there picture taken.
Here is Barrick feeding the goat.
We then had a fun filled day at the Sandy Aquarium. Here is Barrick showing me the fish with his cute little fish face.
Barrick with his cousins Ammon and Carter.
We had our annual Lagoon day with the Florence side of the family. Barrick LOVED it this was his first time he was able to ride the rides. He was a little hesitant at first but mastered all of the rides including Puff. Here is Barrick and Kellen.
Barrick with all of his cousins.
Barrick riding the boat with Khloe.
We also had many fun filled nights just spending time with family. We had a family home evening at my Angie's. (my sister) Here is Barrick and Grandpa on the swing set.
Barrick playing with his cousins.
Here is another day down in Draper with more cousins at Gma and Gpa's. Poor Abbi wasn't too happy.
Last we had to get one with Abbi happy.

We had such a great time with all of our family and friends! We love all of you and miss you all so much! Scotty and I were talking and it is weird to think the next time we will be in Utah we will have two more kids, how crazy is that.
Thanks everyone!!

(Sorry if you saw the post with just pictures. Barrick published it before I was done.)

I'll start with Hawaii!

Well where to start, first of all do you know how hard it is to put six weeks of Hawaii into a few pictures!! I was able to accomplish that. I basically did one picture for all of the bigger events we did, so here we go.

We went to the Wakiki Aquarium and it was a very fun afternoon. Everything we read said that we should see this and I will say it was fun but I am glad we had a military discount. Yes I know I look HUGE in this picture, and only about 14 weeks. (it is mostly the shirt and the way I am standing).

Here we are on a hike up to Wiamaia falls. It was beautiful!

Here we are at Hickam Air force Base, we came with some friends and looked at some of the buildings that were hit during pearl harbor.
Why Scottys parents were here they treated us to a dinner cruise leaving out of Waikiki and it was such a great night!! The food and entertainment were excellent!

This night we went and had a BBQ with Scott and Valeri at there place. Food, fun, family, friends, swimming, and games doesn't get much better!
We also spent a day at Pearl Harbor not the funnest picture because our camera died and we used Valeri's camera so all of those pictures are on Scottys laptop.
We went and watched the fireworks on Waikiki and ate dinner on the beach!
Night out with the other med students. We went bowling and had dinner. It was very fun, I think Barrick loved it the most, all of these adults giving him anything he wanted.
One of the many nights out to a fun restraunt with great friends.
One afternoon we went up to the Hawaii temple and walked around the grounds and the visitors center. It was beautiful!!
Just a cute picture at the beach of this handsome little guy!!
Our last day at the beach. I know I look horrible!
And last this was our last day with Daddy. Scotty had to stay for a bit longer why we went to visit family in Utah.

We had such an amazing time in Hawaii, it was so nice to have a couple of weeks where Scotty had a normal 9 to 5 job. We have never had that in the six years we have been married and WOW did we feel spoiled, and the best part about it was spending that time in HAWAII!!

WOW its been a while!!

I know it has been over a month since I last posted I am so behind on about everything in my life right now!! I am slowly making my way back to real life. Once my house is a little more under control I will post what went on over the last couple of months.

1-The rest of Hawaii
2-1 month in Utah with Family
3-Turning our office into Barricks new (big boy) room
4-Trying to rearrange our house to fit two new babies

I am slowly but surely putting things back together after being gone for so long. This week I got the yard finished, pulled out all of my maternity clothes and did about a million loads of laundry. Which by the way I am huge!! I look about seven months pregnant and I am only 19 weeks! Had my brother here for the week, got Barricks sleeping schedule back on track after a summer of switching time zones every couple of months, and I am slowly room by room getting things clean and livable! Not to exciting but my life at the moment.

Thank you also to everyone for all of your sweet comments about our new little arrivals. By the way if you don't know already it is a boy and a girl!! I have pictures of proof that I will show at a later time. We are so thrilled and so blessed! Thanks again it really means so much to us!

Part two.....

Just wanted to give some more updates over the last 14 weeks.

Barrick and I have spent most of our days like this, my little buddy takes good care of his mommy.


Scotty has been cleaning up a lot of these kind of messes, he would come home with these all over the house.







I have spent most of my time in the bathroom....











The reason, yes you have probably already guessed we are expecting!!


But the other surprise is there is not only one but two!! Here is the latest pictures of our sweet little babies. This is a picture from the top. You can see the top of there heads and some little hands.

Here are there individual photos. This is baby A.


Here is Baby B.

We couldn't be any more excited! So sorry for the lack of posts, and comments, these two little babies are the reason.

Catch up part one....

Well life has been a little crazy and very busy as of late for us. I have gotten very behind on updates and have been told my many family members that they are sick of not seeing updated posts. So I am doing this in two parts. Well to start Scotty finished his second year of medical school and we are now in Hawaii. Right before the end of the year we were lucky enough to have Spencer and Britany our friends from Colorado come and visit us. We had so much fun playing games, going out to dinner and visiting downtown. Barrick loved having them there and we miss having them close by.



Here is a picture of the four of us before they had to leave.

Barrick with Spencer and Britany. I know he looks like he could be there son with all that blonde hair.
Here is Scotty, Barrick and Spencer downtown while we were seeing all the memorails.

Thanks so much for coming out and seeing us we had so much fun!!!

Then shortly after it was off to Hawaii. We left on the 23rd of June and we have had so much fun!! We were able to come out here with our friends the Bahrs and we have all had a blast! The first couple of days were a little hard with having to make a six hour time difference. Barrick of course had the hardest time it was pretty hard to wake up at four in the morning and be up for the day. He eventually got adjusted and it has been so much better!!
I have lost count of how many times we have been to the beach, almost everyday. Barrick LOVES the ocean he was very hesitant at first but now can't get enough of it. Scotty also got to go surfing which I must say he did a pretty good job. We have also gone to many great restraunts and many more things which I will document later.

Here are just a few pictures of some of the things we did the first few weeks.

Here is Scotty and Barrick running from the big wave, this particular beach was on the big island and it was beautiful!! We had such a fun day playing in the waves and swimming!

This lady was on the airplane with us and was so nice she thought Barrick was so cute and so she decided to buy Barrick his first lei.
We went into Kona on the big island and went to Bubba Gump Shrimp (picture below) which was so good and so fun to sit right out on the ocean, and also walked up and down the beach.
Then is was off to Oahu were Scotty had to start work. Which hasn't been that bad he is usually off around 4:30 and has weekends off, so it has been wonderful. So during the day my friend Lauren and I play while the boys are at work.
Here is Barrick at Ala Monona a beach which we love because the waves aren't so big and it is so good for kids.Then of course we celebrated the fourth of July and it was a pretty low key day. We just stayed in all day we headed to Pearl Harbor in our matching fourth of July clothes.

Last here is the whole group watching the fireworks at Pearl Harbor. It was so neat to be there with all of the history surrounding us. It was definatly a night that reminded me of the amazing country we live in and the sacrifices that people make everyday for our country.

We are having such a great time and feel so blessed to have the oppurtunity to be able to be here. The second update will come soon.
