Spring Break in AZ

Lucky for us, Trevor's little sister is still in High School and we get to tag along on her spring break trips! The annual Arizona spring break trip was as relaxing and fun as ever. It seemed to be JUST what the doctor ordered. Every day was pretty much the same: wake up, go work out, head to the pool at 10 am, read, eat, swim, repeat. We went out to dinner most nights and even saw Sourcecode which was a great movie. It was so much fun to hang out and do a whole lot of nothing everyday. Trevor golfed and played tennis with his dad and even squeezed in his marathon training while we were there. He was WAY more productive than I was during the day. We got a tan and came back refreshed, thanks mom and dad Tripp for a great vacation. We can't wait til little Brooklyn can experience it next year!

Go Cougars!

So...a month ago we went to Vegas and I'm just now blogging about it. Ya, that's how on top of my life I have been lately. Just ask Trevor- I lost my brain when I became pregnant and openly admit it.

Vegas was blast, as usual. We go every year for the Mountain West Conference Tournament to watch BYU play and hopefully win. Well, they always let us down in the finals, but we still love them. With the Jimmer craze this year, we were more excited than ever to go. The games were a blast and we had AMAZING seats every game due to the amazing Leavitt Family. They were nice enough to host us once again and treat us like family. We just love them and have so much fun visiting them. We went to the pool one day, saw the strip, ate lots of good food, and watched A LOT of basketball. I deserve the wife of the year award for watching 12 straight hours of basketball in one day, ha! All of the games were great, and even though they lost in the finals, we still had fun. We can't wait til next year!

Going Home!

Once I moved to Denver, I went to California multiple times a year in High School to see my best friend Lindsey and all my family that is still there. Since being in college, married, and being a grown up, it hasn't been that easy to get out there with work and all. So, in January I was dying to get away and hadn't been back in a while so Trevor was so sweet and got me a plane ticket for Valentine's Day. I was so excited!

I only went for 3 days so it was whirlwind of a vacation. My flight sat for an hour on the runway both ways- what are the odds. I love California, going back always brings back so many great memories and Lindsey and I go to all the same places we did when we were younger. The first day I went to Fashion Island with my grandma, shopped around, ate lots of good food, drove down the coast, and took a nap. That was a busy day for the pregnant lady and the old lady. Lindsey came down from San Diego and we went to In-n-out and stayed up late talking and eating Sprinkles cupcakes. Since she is engaged we checked out the wedding venue and then once again went and ate good food. Im pretty sure I go to California to eat. I got to see my aunt and twin cousins and my other aunt and uncle in LA.

I felt like I was going a million miles a minute while I was there but I was glad I got to fit everything in while I was there. I had so much fun and always love going back to California, thanks Trev! Hopefully next year I can take little Brooklyn out to experience it!

Oh ya, and once I got there I realized my camera was broken so I only have a few pictures from Iphone. Bummer.

It's a Girl!

So.... I haven't blogged in ages and I have very good excuses for my slacking but I just wanted to post that IT'S A GIRL! We are SO excited and can't wait to meet our little girl! The ultrasound tech said she is going to be a handful, she was going crazy in there- we can't wait!

I still have to blog about our ski weekend, my trip to California, and Las Vegas and I will soon! We went from a staff of 7 at work to a staff of 2 so needless to say I am working 6 days a week with lots of overtime. Let's hope my poor feet can handle it- retail is no bueno while pregnant :) but I may as well work my butt off before our little one gets here!

I'll get my act together and post soon!

Mountain Week

A couple weekends ago my family headed up to the mountains for the week. My parents rented a place in Keystone so we could ski, snowshoe and hike for a week. My activities were limited but the relaxing week was so nice. Standing up all day at work makes for exhausted legs that love ANY sort of a break :). Sadly, Chris Kristy and Liza got sick and had to go home early. They had colds, sinus infections, and bronchitis. It was much easier to get better in their own beds. We missed them! Trevor and I had a blast with my parents though. We watched movies, played blokus and apples to apples, and ate lots of good food. The best part of the trip was that Trevor actually SKIED!! My little snowboarder put on skis and I was like a proud mother! He did great and loved it. How is it so easy for him to be good at everything?! We love the mountains and feel pretty lucky to have them in our backyard!

Funny

So, now that I am showing (which is quite a weird feeling) random customers ask me if my "bump" is a baby bump. Funny thing is, I barely have a bump at all and these strangers are asking this! I find it a little ballsy to ask someone that. What if I had just gained weight or that was my normal stomach?? It took everything in me not to say "no its not, thanks" just to see their reaction. I have actually wanted to do that but don't want to make someone feel that terrible! It would be pretty funny though. I just can't believe people ask that. I feel awkward even asking someone that is 39 weeks pregnant, just in the off chance I'm wrong.

Oh, and the other funny thing is I haven't told anyone at work. I have told my few friends there, people that I wanted to tell but other than that no one knows. I feel like it's kinda weird to just walk up and tell someone you work with. "Hi, oh and by the way I'm pregnant." So I just haven't gotten around to it. But now that I look a little heavier in the stomach region, my coworkers don't seem to look me in the eye anymore and just awkwardly look at my stomach and try and make it look like they aren't. I wonder if they are gossiping in the back as to whether I have gained weight of am just pregnant haha. I should probably tell them. I guess I'll see how big I can get before someone actually asks me.

On another random note, only 5 more days til we find out the sex! I can't wait, I am going mad waiting! I really feel like its a boy for some reason. I haven't had any dreams or anything, that has just been my gut instinct for a while. Tausha has had 2 dreams that its a boy so maybe she has some intuition as an aunt and she knows haha! I don't think Trevor has a guess either way, he says "I'll be happy either way". As much as he wants a little boy to play basketball with, little girls have a way to his heart. He is in love with my niece and she adores her uncle Trevor. Trevor's best friend just had a baby girl and we can't get enough of her already. We are so excited and feel so blessed to have a little one of our own on the way. Secretly, I want a little girl cuz the clothes are so much cuter, but the other part of me wants a boy since I love having an older brother. In the end, its not up to us anyways! I'll update you all once we know! Let us know if you have any guesses! Thanks for all the love and support we have already gotten, we have such amazing friends and family!

My Best Friend's Wedding

(Me and Lindsey at my Wedding)

My best and oldest friend Lindsey just got engaged! I am so thrilled for her. She has been dating Kevin for over 6 years, longer than I have even known Trevor, ha! She text me a picture of a ring and said shhhh, I haven't told my mom yet and she would kill me if her mom found out before she could tell her, ha! She is so amazing and deserves the best, and Kevin is. I can't wait for the wedding, and since it wont be until Summer 2012 I wont be huge and pregnant, yay! I just booked a flight to go visit her and celebrate in 3 weeks, I can't wait to go back to California. I'm so excited for you Linds!
