Dinner with the girls

A couple weeks ago Melanie was in town so a few of the girls got together and went to dinner. It's always so much fun to see all the girls because with everyones busy schedules we never find time to do it. Sara was even able to make it and had cute baby Graham the next day! It was such a fun night and hopefully next time all the girls will be able to come!

Fall pictures at Sugar House park....

For those of you that don't know my mom is a professional photographer. She and her partner Sy Snarr have decided to do some "mini" family sessions at Sugar House park the week of October 13th. Anyone who needs a fall family picture this is a great deal! The session is 15 minutes and is $45. With that you get an 8x10 retouched picture and can order any others you would like. They have already started booking families so if this is something you are interested in contact me or you can e-mail my mom at whitneyphotography@mac.com . This would be a great time to get your Christmas cards done and gifts for your family for Christmas!

Tessa Ann Whitney

She is finally here!!! Tessa Ann Whitney was born Sunday morning at 7:02 a.m. and weighs 6 pounds 8 oz. She is absolutely beautiful!!! Nate and Megan are already such amazing parents. Being around a newborn makes me so excited for our little Addison to get here in December! Only a few more months and this will be us! I'm so excited I can't wait! Congrats again Nate and Megan!!!

Megan's baby shower

A couple weeks ago we threw a baby shower for my sister-in-law Megan. It was so much fun and she got lots of good stuff for little baby Tessa. I can't believe she will be here so soon! Megan and Nate are going to be such good parents and I am so excited for them! Here are just a few pictures from that night....

4th of July weekend...

This last weekend my whole family went up to our condo in Eden to celebrate the 4th of July. That morning we went to Liberty Park where they put on a big breakfast then watched the parade. When the parade is over they have lots of events that both kids and adults can enter. This is all of us watching mutton busting. For those of you (like me) who have never heard of this it's where they put a little kid on a sheeps back and see how long they can hold on before falling off. It really was so funny to watch all the kids compete!

Sophia loved the fireworks as well me, Megan, Ella & Natalie. Ella's face in this picture makes me laugh because she was in such a good mood, I just don't think she was in the mood to smile!

It's a.......

GIRL!!!!!

It's official we are having a little girl! I am so excited and still so shocked because I was for sure it was a boy. It took us awhile before she would finally give us a good shot and for a minute I was worried we were going to have to go back another day to find out what we were having. It was so good to see that she had all her fingers and toes and everything else is developing right on track. I am so excited and can't wait for our little girl to get here in December!!!

Baby update...

Yesterday Brando and I went to my 14 week Dr. appointment and it went so good! Everything is right on track and we got to hear our babies heartbeat for the 2nd time! The heart rate was at 160 so according to old wives tales that would mean it's a girl. My Dr. said he is wrong about 50% of the time so I guess it will be another 10 days before I find out! I could go earlier but for some reason the closer I get to finding out what I'm having the more nervous I am! Who knows why because for the past 2 months I have been counting down the days. Maybe it will pass once the day gets here. I still feel like I am for sure having a boy but my mom is convinced it's a girl because I have been so sick. Any predictions on what I am having???
