Baby Girl

We are having a girl!! What an amazing thing to see our baby girl at the ultrasound appointment last week! We had such a good experience and are so excited to welcome her into this world sometime around January 7th! I am half way there!! (Just about 21 weeks)
We have started getting really excited about buying cute pink things and have a good start already. I have got several things from family and yard sales although its still early, we are getting it while its available! I dont think many people do yard sales in the snow! I have told Tobin several times that there are some things I WILL buy new, although it may cost lots of $$, its our first and she WILL be spoiled, a little! I am a little bit obsessive compulsive when it comes to looking at cribs, car seats, strollers etc... and comparing, and reading reviews and such. But I have some I LOVE! We will wait a little while to get them though!

Summer Adventures of 2010

A lot has happened since my last post in April! I will sum it all up with a crap load of pictures!
It all seems like such old news but I will still post it all.


APRIL:
I graduated from Institute

After months of debating, I decided to finally CHOP my hair to donate.
Before

About 14 inches later.....

Women's Conference at BYU with
Aunt Juanita, Mom, Chelsie, Grandma, and Aunt Crystal

We bought a 2nd car! After 1 1/2 years with just one car,
it has been AMAZING! 2002 Nissan Altima

Tobin found a full time job for the summer at Carquest.
He will be able to work part time when school starts too.
Not the dream job, but we are very grateful!
MAY:
Welp, we found out we are having one of these... a BABY!!

JUNE:
We were able to go to NYC for a week and visit Brandon and Becky!
We did SO many awesome things, like go to Mary Poppins...
Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge...
See the beautiful skyline of Manhattan...
Go to Ellis Island...
And Liberty Island...
We got to enjoy the East River...
Even see the Rockefeller Plaza!
We got to "see"/"get stuck in" Central Park, in the rain... for SEVERAL hours
But hey, we all needed a shower...
A few weeks after we went to NYC Brandon, Becky and Caden
all came to Idaho! We had a great time visiting with them.
JULY: Well, Tobin and I both had older digital cameras. They both broke and it was seriously within a few days of each other. So we don't have ANY pictures from July. SO SAD! We had a great 4th of July in Inkom. We also had a wonderful bbq with TONS of friends. And we got to go camping with some of our friends. What a fun month, too bad about the camera situation...
Luckily I thought "Oh! Chelsie and Keith have an old camera." DUH! Why did I not think of that sooner? Oh well, they were kind enough to lend it to us, so now we have a few more pictures!

AUGUST:
WELCOME HOME ELDER MENNEAR!
Home from El Salvador and lookin sharp!
We thought it would be awesome to welcome Wesley home
to the real world, so Tobin grew out his hair and beard.
He looks like a mountain man, but it all came off the next day!
And last.... I am starting to get big! I don't just feel
fat anymore. I am starting to look pregnant and not chubby.
18 weeks! We find out next week if its a boy or girl~ SO EXCITED!
