SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE...

We are expecting our 1st BABY!!!

Turns out the Bahamas treated us well...;)

Our new addition is due around November 30th!

Our Doctor thinks around Dec. 1st.

The ultrasound put us due on Nov. 27th!...We'll see!

The day we found out:

I was getting ready to go to lunch with my cousin Kiley on March 25th, and Dustin got a phone call...It was Cole...

He said to Dustin, "Are you sure Tash isn't pregnant?"

Dustin, "I don't think so, how come?"

Cole, "Cause I keep having dreams that she is.."

Me yelling from the bathroom, "What did he just say?"

Dustin, "Cole thinks your pregnant..."

Me, "That's it, I am getting a test just to make sure..."

Well, that afternoon, right before my Physiology class, I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive...I had to leave for class in 30 min. so we immediately told Dustin's parents, and after sitting through class for 3 hours and hitting a deer on the way home, we finally got to tell my Mom and Jerry! I have honestly NEVER been so excited!

Previous signs:

Back in February, we went to the Bahamas...'nuf said;)

Then...

When we went to Vegas for our Anniversary, and I was seriously so hungry...like every hour I was eating something....I knew I felt different, but I truly didn't think I was pregnant!

I was craving lemons...

I was EXTREMELY tired...

Yes, maybe even a little irritable at times...

But, thanks to Cole's "visions," and 3 pregnancy tests we found out at 5 weeks along!

We told our parents right away...the minute we found out. But considering the fact that we leave and sell for the summer, we thought we would have a BBQ at our house to tell the rest of our family in person... I made sugar cookies with "+" signs on them. Cole and Heather also announced that they are expecting baby #2. They wrote the cutest poem and had my sister read it to the whole family! What a great day!!!

(we also told our grandparents, right away...I bought a bottle of Prego for each of them and tied a blue and pink ribbon around the top! I tried to emphasize the Prego by adding quotations and underlining it... it took them a minute to catch on, but it turned out great!)

We told Dustin's sisters by showing them the bottles of Prego we bought for my grandparents! We told them that we bought them their favorite spaghetti sauce. Chas and Dez both said, "That's wierd...you bought us spaghetti sauce?" ha ha! And then we had to ask them what kind it was...after that they both caught on!!!;)

Update:

We have decided not to go sell this summer. We are going to miss our friends so much, but I am so excited to spend our first summer "married" in Utah! We have been thinking long and hard about what was best for us, and we decided maybe taking the summer to prepare for the baby, and having the summer for Dustin to find a steady job, was what we should do!

Yesterday, we heard our baby's heartbeat for the first time! What a neat experience! It is finally starting to sink in that in 6 1/2 months we will have a sweet baby!

Life is great! xoxo

Who's been Lookin'???

In the past, I have had a few comments from people that were blog-hopping and found our blog! It made me so happy to know that people I didn't even know were taking the time to look at what we have been up to! I would love for you to become a follower, or leave a comment whether you are friends we know, or friends we don't know! Another reason for this: I find that most of the time, I don't even know some people have blogs! This way I can add to my friends list as well!!!

Hope you all have a great week!

P.s. If you have gone PRIVATE and I either did not send my e-mail or my invite expired...please resend the invite! I just went through all of my friends and family list and some of you HAVE sent me an invite to your blog, and for some reason I did not check my e-mail in time!:( Thanks!!

Here Come's Peter Cottontail....

Hoppin' down the Bunny Trail...

And so we did!

We spent Easter weekend with my Mom and Jerry exploring the great outdoors, hiking, and eating! We stayed in a littel motel in Blanding, and visited Natural Bridges National Monument, Hovenweep National Monument, and Arches National Park! It was SO much fun! I had never been to any of these places before, and I still cannot believe how GORGEOUS all of it was! We really do live in such a beautiful state!;)

FrEeZinG!

Ok, so my hand looks like it is in a wierd spot...but I promise, it's just an illusion! ha

Mom and Jer!

Dustin looking out over the Dugway...

Tryin' to look like Royalty at this castle!;)

See the HEART rock?

Hmm....no comment;)

Mom, you make a GREAT indian!!!

Yes, we got in trouble for this! Don't recommend! ha I am the paranoid one of the group!

See the horse? I thought this was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! It really does make a perfect horse!

Little Monticello Temple!

PEACE! Me and Ma at the top!

You can see Delicate Arch in between us...ya, we were pretty far away!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

March Random-ness

Here is what we have been up to this month....

1. Brylee and Heather came to visit

2. We finally got our living room {pretty much} done.

3. I got some pictures of our cute lil' Kezi. {I don't take enough!}

I NEVER get as "baby-hungry" as I do when our sweet little Brylee comes to visit! She is always so happy and full of life! I L.O.V.E her cute personality, she is hilarious!

Seriously! Look at that smile...PRECIOUS;)

She LOVES remotes...just like her Uncle Dustin!;)

We ate at The Hot Spot for lunch, so Bry had to get her workout in...

Proud as a Peach

It has taken us about a year, but we have pretty much done away with all hand-me-downs, and we now have all of our OWN stuff! It has been so much fun. We just recently got this walnut coffee table, and our entertainment center, and we are so happy with the turn out! Now...end tables!;)

It is so funny how pets can bring so much personality into a home. Kezi is seriously the light of our life...as crazy as that sounds (YES, we probably need a child soon!) we would do ANYTHING for our little Kezi-boo! She is SPOILED ROTTEN! For example: She sleeps with us, we leave the T.V on for her when we leave so she doesn't get lonely, "I" dress her up, we talk to her like a little baby, we open the blinds so she can look out whether we are home or away, and the list goes on and on...Kezi definately has us wrapped around her little paw!;)

I mean, look at that face, how could you not just LOVE her!

This one too....;) Those eyes make me melt!

Beggin' for treats with Uncle Scruffy! ha ha ha

Sportin' the chest hair!;)

Well, I am all caught up! Hopefully we will get our camera battery and charger from the PALMS soon so we will have more pictures to post!

It's Our....

3 Year Anniversary...

It will never cease to amaze me how fast time flies! The past 7 years that Dustin and I have spent together have been absolutely amazing, and I can truly say that I do not know how I got this lucky! Dustin does SO much for me, and I want to let everyone know how much I appreciate him. Dustin is so selfless, and I admire him so much for that!

This year, we kept our tradition alive, and spent our 3 year anniversary in...

VEGAS!!!

We enjoyed our time gambling, eating, touring a few newer places we had not seen yet, tanning, going to two movies: Green zone, and Shutter Island, both highly recommended, and seeing The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil....simply... AMAZING!

We went down early and spent our first night in Mesquite;)

My handsome hubby;)

Our first day in Vegas we decided to go see the new hotel and casino ARIA, and the recently finished City Center!

ARIA

This cute little diner is called SWEET CHILL. It has the BEST ice cream!

I got my beloved "Turtle" ice cream, and Dust got "Cookies n Cream"

These flowers were made of white, milk, and dark chocolate! VERY impressive!

Some fun things to see at City Center:

We had 2nd row seating at LOVE, and I am here to tell you that is show is a MUST see!!! Everything they do is so perfect, right down to their make-up! I loved it! This was our 3rd Cirque show, and still ...UNBELIEVABLE! I liked the Beatles' songs before, but I left a true fan!!!

Our last day was spent tanning, gambling, & enjoying our 2 movies! Awww...a little R&R never felt better!!!

Cha-Ching!



Me doing what I do best....EATING!;)

I look forward to many, many more anniversaries with my sweet hubby! Wherever our lives may lead us, I am happy to know that it will be with Dustin by my side! Happy 3 year Anniversary babe! I LOVE YOU!
