It's a GIRL!!!

We can't believe it but we had our 2nd trimester ultrasound yesterday and they said we are having a GIRL!! Jerry and I are over the moon happy that we got to see her for a little while yesterday. It was so amazing to see her moving around. Her little hands, arms, legs, head and everything else were so precious. We really feel blessed that everything seemed perfect and she is growing right on schedule. The tech said she weighed 8oz.! Unbelievable. She is moving a lot more now and feeling her is so incredibly neat. Being pregnant gets more exciting as the days go on!

I will keep updating as we progress with her room and such. Now all the fun stuff begins!

17 weeks along :)

At Dove Mountain (Marana, AZ) enjoying the breathtaking views and fresh air.

Happy Anniversary to us! We went to the Ritz Carlton in Marana for our Anniversary. What a weekend.

1 whole year has passed since we have been married. It's seems like yesterday that I married the most wonderful guy I could find. He is perfect for me and makes me laugh and smile each day. People always say the first year is the hardest, but for us it was the easiest. I feel blessed to call him my hubby. He never strays from what is important and always makes me feel loved. I know in my heart that he will be the best Daddy to our chldren and I am thankful that I have such faith in him. It's so fun to be sharing every moment of this life together and I look forward to many more years of unconditional love, joy and adventure.

And baby makes 3!

Jerry and I are expecting our first little one this October! We found out in late January and wanted to make it through the first trimester before we announced to the world. Luckily, I wasn't too sick during the first few months, just had some nausea and major fatigue for a few weeks. I feel blessed to say that this pregnancy has been so easy. I for sure thought I would be stuck with awful morning sickness and food aversions.

We have had a few ultrasounds in the past few weeks where we saw the baby moving around. I swear it is a boy and will be shocked if we are having a girl. I am currently 16+ weeks and have my anatomy ultrasound on May 4th! Once we find out if we are team BLUE or PINK, all the fun shopping will begin. I am so excited to decorate the nursery and make it as comfy and cute as possible.

We have so much to be thankful for and words cannot express how blessed we have been in the past year.

Stay tuned for more pictures and updates as the months go on....

Cheers to a new year

Jerry and I rang in the new year at home for a change and I really enjoyed it. We have many hopes for the new year and can't wait to see what 2010 brings us. Here's to hoping that we are more blessed this year than in years past....

Happy New Year to everyone! Hooray for a new decade :)

With Love,

J and K

Day with Erock

Jerry and I watched Erick, our nephew, today while his parents went Christmas shopping. We started with breakfast at the Hangar Cafe then Jerry remembered that Travis Pastrana was in Gilbert doing autographs so we stopped by. He was at the new Subaru dealership where there was a rally car show. We decided to go ahead and get in line for an autograph but got stopped at the door while Travis took a lunch break...after 2 hours waiting we got what we wanted and even scored a picture with him. I have to admit that I did not really know who he was until we stopped at the event. I'm glad we did because Erick was happy to have gotten an autograph!! It was a fun day :)

A little update...

It's been a while since I have updated my blog. We really have not been up to too much over the past 2 months. The weather has finally turned pleasant and the Holiday's are finally here. Our Thanksgiving was very quiet. Jerry and I went to his brother's for a mid afternoon turkey dinner. It was nice to visit with the family and eat some yummy food. The Broncos were on TV too, so I enjoyed watching the game as well. I really missed having my family here this year even though they haven't been here in the recent years past. Maybe next year will bring us together for the Holiday's; one can only hope :)

Jerry and I decorated the house for Christmas over Thanksgiving weekend. The house is filled with Christmas cheer which is enjoyable to come home to after work each day. The lights are up on the house too. It is so beautiful to drive through the streets this time of year and see the decorations bursting out from so many homes. Christmas sure has a whole new meaning as I have gotten older. It's not about the presents received but rather the laughter and joy I get from being with Jerry and loving our new life together. We have so much to look forward to in the years to come and hopefully next year will bring new beginnings and happy endings. This year has been filled with lots to be thankful for but has also brought some enduring times. I believe 2010 will be a big year for us in so many ways and look forward to every moment!

Charlie's Surgery...

My little guy had surgery this past week. He had a tumor on the top of his head that I wanted taken off. They also cleaned his teeth which lead to him having two teeth extracted as well. Poor guy. I cried when I picked him up because I wasn't expecting such a big incision or the shaved head. Not sure what I was expecting but I was shocked none the less. He is back to his old self now; well actually he was never not himself. This guy sure has lots of energy even though he is aging. I can't get enough of him. His wagging tail says it all, that's for sure :) Gotta love him!
