Valentines Day: Part 2 Dinner/Dance

Well on friday spencer and i had our own valentines day. Spencer heard about a Valentines Couples Dance the school was putting on called a Night in Paris and ask if i wanted to go. of course! it sounded like fun! They offered dinner before hand which was kinda good. Chicken Kiev, roasted potatoes, steamed veggies, really good rolls and apple walnut salad with poppy seed dressing. It was really good! So about the dinning arrangements... Well spencer and i both thought it was going to be like a couples kind of thing, ya know your own table and all. Well it wasn't. we were sitting right next to people we didnt know and one poor couple were on a first date kinda thing. It was funny to see how they interacted. After dinner the dance started. It was a semi formal/formal dance and it was fun to see all the couples come in prom attire. Most of the couples were not married and it was kind of fun to see them all. it reminded me of when spencer and i were dating and fell in love: ) It was really fun to dance with spencer, i've never really been to a dance with him! We really didnt dance too much, because my feet and hip were hurting really bad (i felt like a gma, lol) I had so much fun, even though it was kinda unplanned on the schools part. The dance kinda had the stake dance feel to it, but oh well, i had so much fun. It was kinda corny, but a good kind. I would totally do it again! It was one of the best (pre)valentines day i've had! Thanks spencer! I loved it!

ps....happy valentines day tomorrow! dont worry vday #3 post is next! lol. i just love this holiday!

Valentines Day: Part 1 Bowling!

I know i know, a valentines day post already?? Well, Spencer and I always seem to celebrate it early, because here in Rexburg, EVERYTHING is going to be packed on the day of love and there are going to be about zero people wanting to babysit. So we decided to have our family v-day celebration early. (our celebration is on the 11th! spencer is taking me to dinner and dancing up on campus! its called A Night In Paris!). We'll have a little celebration on the actual day....maybe i convince spencer to do this so i can have 3 days of fun! lol!!!

So for family v-day we decided to take adyson bowling for the very first time to Fat Cats. SHE LOVED IT! they had black lights and music going and she just danced the whole time and entertained everyone there (see videos!). They even had little shoes just her size. They were so cute i had to get a picture of them! They also have a arcade there and we decided to play a few rounds of skeeball. After bowling and games we went to Applebees for dinner (thanks mom and dad for the giftcard and the goodie box!!) It was an awesome time and i hope we can do it again next year!

family/prego update

So I know I havent really blogged about the whole family in a little bit so here it goes....

Lets start with Adyson! Well, what can I say, shes just my crazy, beautiful goofball. She always has new words to say every day. Her (or my) current favorite words/phrases are "are you kidding me? raise the roof, yes i do!, thumbs up,.....keep in mind that they are not spoken very clearly. Shes doing alright with counting and with colors.....well her favorite color is blue and so everything she sees is called blue. She always has the random names for her "babies" (any stuffed animal/doll). She will bring me a towel and ask me to wrap them up so she can rock them to sleep. Her favorite by far is Grandpa Bear. She stole it from my dad. Its a beanie baby bear that has a tie on that says #1 dad on it. gave it to him for a bday a while ago. I really dont know why she loves it so much. Her biggest accomplishment is that she is pacifier less!!!!! It was hard and still is, but i am so glad its gone! We're trying to work on getting her to fall asleep in her own bed and STAY there. Going to bed is kinda easy but when she wakes up in the middle of the night she comes and steals my bed! I'm so tired of it! literally!

Spencer is currently busy with school. He is doing great with his classes and i'm sure his favorite class is the photography class. He has some pretty good pictures hes taken so far, but he wont let me share them! (he does have to have a blog for the class.....hint hint).

and now its my turn..... Well as i said in an earlier post, i really didnt look pregnant and the baby was sitting really low. Well i think this little girl was listening to me, because she has definitely moved around a lot and my belly has shot out! I am about 6 months now....i think. LOL its hard to keep track when there is no positive due date. I have about 3 dates they have given me (14th,18th, or 21st of may). We pretty much go with the 18th.

(ok sorry about my look. keep in mind i am prego, tired, and dealing with a 2 yr old! lol)

well thats about all for the kings. just trying to survive the COLD rexburg weather! until next time!

BABY #2 IS A....

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I had my first doctors visit in Rexburg. My info wasn't sent over like it should have been from Moses Lake, and since we didnt know what we were having, the doc said we could get an ultrasound to see whats going on. So here are a couple of cute pics of baby girl #2! Adyson is going to have a baby sister!

update on baby #2

about 13 weeks....kinda old pic!

So I just relaized that i really have been lacking on the baby update!

I'm about 22 ish weeks along. The doctor (who i love and miss!) I had in Moses Lake was still trying to figure out how far along I actually am, we'll just say 22-23 weeks. What I know and have told her isn't adding up with the ultrasounds! I've had 3 so far! But hey I get to see the little peanut. We still don't know what we are having....just like with Adyson and her hand! Something was in the way this last ultrasound I had! This time it was the cord instead of a hand! The last date I was told the due date was May 14th, but heck with the iffy-ness (is that a word) of how far along I actually am, i'm just saying sometime in May. We should be getting another ultrasound because the last one they weren't able to see and measure everything.

Well, i'm doing ok. My back hurts WAY more this time around! Sleep is horrible. Spencer and I don't remember me sleeping this bad last time. From the ultrasound, we've found out that the baby LOVES to sit on my bladder. Hopefully the baby will be noticing that theres a whole other section to its woom!Thats where I am feeling most of the kicking. Spencer has been able to feel the kicks every once in a while, and I think that makes it more real for him. Adyson loves to give my belly kisses. I dont know if she thinks that my belly is a baby or if there is a baby actually in my belly. Its really cute and she always sees babies at the store and stares and tells me theres a baby over there. I always ask her if she wants one or wants to hold it and she gets really excited. I have to tell her to wait until may. Thats about it. still waiting to see what we are having!

PS...Sorry but thats the only pic I have! The last ultrasound pics are horrible and you cant see anything! And sorry no pics of me, i honestly dont look pregnant, and im not just saying that. I really dont look pregnant, i just look like i have a flabby gut! soon (i hope) i will look like it! and sorry if my posts are boring or what not, this is pretty much my journal so i've gotta write something down!

Christmas post (a little late) and a Random Video!

Well sorry its taken me this long to blog about Christmas! I've just been super busy with packing, unpacking, and finding a place for all of our junk! Today i'm taking a break!

Christmas this year was a lot of fun. Adyson actually had an idea of what was going on. As Spencer has mentioned before, Adyson wanted Frosty to come instead of Santa. My mom bought the movie for the granddaughters to watch and Adyson got hooked. She even has a frosty shirt!

Well let me explain the few pics I have (i'll need to steal some from family some time).

When I was younger my mom would always buy the pillsburry cookies with the pictures on them for almost every holiday and i would always make them. Well know its kind of a tradition to make them and now Adyson is carrying it on. She loves it! Of course we had to get the snowman ones!

The next two are of Adyson opening her Christmas Eve gift. (my fam opens one gift on C. Eve). She got Cinderella and the Prince. She was dancing with them in the pic (and still does). Thanks Kamaile and Kalei!

And the last pic and video are of Adyson's new favorite hiding spot in the apt. Its under the bathroom sink. While my parents were here she discovered it and scared my mom half to death!

Well thats all i have. Hope you had a wonderful Holiday season. We certainly did. Thanks to everyone for the awesome Christmas gifts and to my parents for housing us and helping us move back to Rexburg. Happy new year and there will be more posts to come!
