4th of July Weekend

We went to the Stadium of Fire with Evan and Nicole for 4th of July weekend. Nicole scored us free tickets from work (whoo!) This was our first year going and it was pretty dang cool, especially since Carrie Underwood sang. She was amazing! I loved seeing someone so talented live. 

Before Carrie started her whole performance, she sang the national anthem and fighter jets flew right above us-- it was CRAZY. They had all the troops come out onto the field, and dancers performed as well. It was a great way to celebrate our independence! 

There was an awesome firework show at the end (and we loved being that close to the fireworks!) It was such a fun night!

Our New Niece!

We got to meet our brand new niece yesterday (Belle Elizabeth Norman). She is the cutest little thing, I loved holding her. She was born on June 28th-- 7 pounds, 20 inches long.

It was almost unreal to see Stephanie throughout her entire pregnancy, and then walk in and see the baby born. I know that sounds funny, but I've never been through that experience with anyone before.

I was right about being even more anxious for our baby now.. it's all me and Trevor could talk about on the way home ("I wonder what she'll look like", etc.)

I think this sweet little baby girl will keep us occupied for the next 2 1/2 months though, I'm glad :)

We're so happy for Steph and Rick (and for Oakley who is now a big sister)!

Father's Day

We had a relaxing Father's Day-- we went to church then headed up to Herriman for dessert that evening. I made a pumpkin pie and Steph brought a lemon meringue, so we all had a slice of each :)

We enjoyed the gorgeous weather and played with chalk in their backyard (Oakley kept handing chalk to us and told us to draw, we didn't have much of a choice, so we had fun with it).

Trevor drew Buzz Lightyear and that made Oakley the happiest girl ever. Once he was finished she started squealing and said "I love Buzz!"

P.S. Trevor got a couple texts saying "Happy Father's Day" (from Tiara and Angelica) and I thought that was so cute. I guess he already is a dad to our little girl, he talks to her almost every day through my belly and he already has a nickname for her.. "little bug".

Pregnant Bellies

Yesterday Steph and Oakley came over and we hung out all day-- we watched Tinkerbell and Bolt and went through baby my clothes together :)
It's so fun being pregnant at the same time as my sister-in-law, I just love it! Whenever we're together, we end up talking pregnancy/baby stuff.. its inevitable. Sometimes Rick leaves the room if we're getting too detailed about certain things, haha but it's nice to be able to ask Steph all my millions of questions.

I went up to their house that evening while Trevor and Evan took their dad out for an early father's day dinner.

I'm 27 weeks, 3 days pregnant & Steph is 36 weeks pregnant (and she's scheduled to be induced June 28th!!)


Trevor came to pick me up on his way home from dinner, and got some Oakley time in before we left :) I love watching him play with her. Can't wait to see him as a dad ♥

Stephanie's Surprise

Last night we surprised Steph and took her out for a mini baby shower with the fam. We had Rick take her to Texas Roadhouse and tell her to jump out and get a table while he parked-- and as soon as she walked in, we were standing there with baby presents in hand :) It was so cute to see her face.. she was so confused/excited/surprised, I loved it!

It was so much fun hanging out with just us girls. After dinner and presents, we ended the night by watching 'Valentine's Day' at Nicole's house (cute movie!) and munched on chocolate.. perfect.

We're so excited for Stephanie and for her baby girl to come (only about 2 more weeks)!!

Memorial Day

We headed up to American Fork Canyon with the Sanford fam and had a picnic. 

(We rode with Evan and Nicole on the way up and sang to Taylor Swift.. ALL of us. Trevor and Evan were pro at "You Belong With Me") 

We relaxed, the boys took the dogs on a walk and we all just enjoyed each other's company. 

Oakley LOVED drinking her orange soda. Haha I love her orange-stash.

Kisses for my Belly

Oakley has been so cute with me being pregnant. Whenever she mentions us now she says "Cristina, Trevor and BABY TOO!" I love it. If I ever have a blanket covering my belly, she'll pull it down and pat my tummy and say "baby", usually followed by a kiss :) She knew we were having a girl from day one too-- we'd ask her over and over what we were having (before we knew) and every single time she'd say "a giiiirl!" I can't wait for all the girl cousins to get together and play :)

This past weekend, we hung out in Saratoga Springs at Steph and Rick's cute new place and hit up Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Trevor took over the peanut bucket and ate a bajillion of them (that's okay though cuz I ate his share in rolls).

We went to Kid-to-Kid right by the restaurant, and I think that's gonna be my new favorite place to shop. Steph bought Oakley a book there for like $2 and it didn't even look read before. So exciting :) At the moment, I like shopping for my baby girl way more than shopping for myself. (Look how cute Steph, Rick and Oakley are reading together! I'm so excited to see their new little girl added into the mix)
