is there sugar in syrup?

Update: we are having a BOY. So excited! A mini Dan. ...could be scary, but at least I know he will be so handsome. :) We are so so happy! It is really fun to now know its a little guy in there squirming and kicking around. I love it. We were both surprised, even though I kept telling Dan I knew it was a boy. I was just trying to be on the opposite side of him since he was sure it was a girl. (I'm sweet that way). But the doctor said BOY and Dan said, "ARE YOU SERIOUS??!" ha, it was a really fun day. So far the pregnancy has been good. Not really sick anymore, just tired and certain that my tail bone is broken in half. Luckily I have Dan around. He is the best ever and so sweet to me, even when I am crying for no reason. He should win an award. and I should go get some brownies. Here is a photo of our little playa. He is so wise.

On top of that, we will soon have a house to be able to bring that guy home to! We are so big! We have finally began the process of purchasing our home. It's a townhouse in Lehi. It should be finished on the 27th this month. I honestly can't wait to be able to decorate and paint and spend all our money in the process. Thank you pinterest, for making me feel like I have to have a cute, trendy home or I'll be judged.



We partied hardied this last weekend. Our friends the EVANSes came in town from Texas and the YOUNGBERGulars were here from New York. It was soo much fun having them here! The boys giggled like school children and we played games for hours on end. I am not exaggerating. Hours and hours of Dominion and Settlers. Girls shopped and got our nails done, boys went shooting, and we all ate a lot. It was an excellent weekend.

Girls Rule



Boys drool

Our Lil Peanut

I was talking to my friend Nattie last night about writing in our journals when we were little and how we always started it, "Dear Journal, Hi! How are you? Sorry it's been so long since I've written in you. I promise I will do better"! Oh funny kid us.


Dear Blog,

Hi! How are you? Sorry I haven't written on you in so long. I promise I will do better. So here is an update on my life these past three months I have been so rudely away.

First off, and most importantly, Dan and I are going to have a baby. How cool is that? The due date is December 23rd. Christmas baby! My game plan is to hold off and have the baby on December 30th so it isn't born right on Christmas. I think I have complete control in the matter so that is the plan. We found out we were with child back in April. It was pretty funny to see Dan's terrified face as he choked out, "I'm so happy." But we have now been able to hear the heartbeat and see our cute little nugget, plus my belly is poking out so the whole thing is more real and we can not wait. Our baby is going to be so awesome. I am now officially in the second trimester (as of today)! I am hoping to say good bye to the nausea and hello to more energy. One can wish but we shall see. Any way, it is crazy that there is a little human growing inside me. Pretty cool thing. Here is a picture of our allstar.

Doesn't it look just like me?

On to other cool stuff we have been up to... I went to Texas back in May to visit my bros Whittney and Ryan.

Back on the home front:

Dan and I both had birthdays! We are so much older and wiser now!

I went to the Toby Keith concert with my sisters! They are trying to turn me country. I do think cowboy boots are really cute so I guess there is a possibility.

It has been SO warm, and luckily, Dan got a slipnslide for his birthday.

We have been hanging out with our awesome friends! Bonfires, festivals, and the Rodeo. Man oh man I love summer! 

Oh and also, back in April Dan and I celebrated our 4th year anniversary. How romantic. Sure do love that guy! I'm so happy to have him in my life and can't wait for the next year we have ahead of us.

The Possibilities are Endless!

I feel like I am such a lazy blogger these days. I enjoy blogging so I have a way to document us but sometimes it is just hard to keep up with it. I am renewing my efforts and adding that goal to my list: Blog More.

Dan says I have a really good KIP impression. You know Kip, from Napolean Dynomite? That is so sweet of him, and he is right, of course. "You're just jealous Napolean because I get to sit at home chatting with hot babes All. Day. Long." ...Told you I was good.

Last night we went bowling. It was fun, but I really sucked. I am a really inconsistant bowler. Actually maybe not so inconsistant as just plain bad, but every now and then I get lucky and have a really good game. Last night we put bets on it. If I won I got a 30 minute massage. If Dan won, I have to somehow incorporate the phrase "The possibibilities are endless" into every phone converstation I have all day Monday at work. I obviously lost, so Monday will be a very funny day especially considering my job is 90% phone calls.

I never did document our Holiday Season so even though Christmas feels like forever ago, we had such a great time I must still write about it. We went up to Idaho to spend the holiday with Daniel's family. It was great to see everyone and so fun to spend time with them. We watched White Christmas (one of my favs) on Christmas Eve and then patiently waited for Santa to come. Or not so patiently... I woke up at 7 and was too excited I couldn't go back to sleep. I laid there and laid there til I finally couldn't wait anymore and had to wake Dan and his sister up. I'm like a child I know but I just LOVE Christmas morning. We all got spoiled and then had a delicious Christmas breakfast that Michelle made. mmmmm. The rest of the time was spent playing games and getting to see a bunch of family. It was quite a jolly time and I'm glad we got to go up there!

New Years. We are partiers. Our friend Dave As Well came down and we played games, they woke me up at 11, and we rung in the new year with some Martinelli's and jumping up and down. It was very exciting and should have been televised.



 


like I said... partiers

 

After New Years I'm always a little sad because I have to wait a full year for Christmas season again. Why does it only happen once a year? That should be changed. :) 

 "Peace Out." (Kip voice again).

Top O the Marnin' to Ya!

OCTOBER... is already over? Wowza mates, that went fasty fasty. It has been quite the busy month for us Model's. I mean Moedl's. Dan started his new job, which is awesome, and so far so great. He is doing loans and has been super busy licensing and training as well as starting a new semester. October happens to be the busiest time of the year at my job so I have been working long long hours. We have learned that while going to bed at 9pm may be totally lame, it is def a necessity. I can't complain though, we have been getting our party on too, and playing a lot with da fam and friengs. ALSO, fall has finally shown it's beautiful face and my boots, scarves, and jackets have made there way to the front of my closet. Oh I love this time of year. Pumpkin treats and hot apple cider are the only things I will be eating for the next month. Here is documentation that we are fun people:

My freakin cute cousin BROOKIE DOOS got married to WILL WALK. Love them, love her dress.

Bridesmaids. So silly.

Dan the Man, Taylor's wife or whatever, Taylor

sparklers are fun to write your name with.

Cousin lovin. Brooke's bridal shower!



All the girlies at the shower. This shower was suppper fun. We succeeded in embarrasing Brooke beyond belief which is always the goal.



Annual Family Pumpkin Patch Outing.

Halloween. Any excuse to dress up is good with me. Dan is a cute bunny and I am a leprechaun. I told you that in case you are dumb and couldn't tell from this picture.

Harry Potter, Taylor Swift, Fairy Princess, Pirate, Witchy Witch. SO cute.

Halloween Partaaaayyyyy. We sure know how to get down with our bad selves. Delicious food at this here party and a very spooky fog machine.



Us two hardcore lucky ducklings at the CELTIC THUNDER Concert. If you don't know of this group, please do yourself a favor and look them up on the You Tube. They are an Irish singing group of dreams. Seriously I love them.

 We will now be rewarding ourselves with a trip to Vegas with some pals to see the Boise State game. The game is because I love my husband so dearly, but I really intend to getting a new pair of boots. Possibly similar ones to these.... oooooohhhh, awwwww...

Texas Forever

I am eating Peanut Butter M&Ms right now. They are really hitting the spot. mmm.


This last week we went to TEXAS! It was fabity fab fab! I haven't been back for 5 years so I was SO excited! Our Evans buddies live in Corpus now so we went to visit them! Oh I love it there. I would love to move back some day, but I don't think I would be able to convince the boy I live with. We went to San Antonio for two nights but just stayed down town so I wasn't able to go up to my old stomping grounds, but it was just good to be back in the heat and beautiful south. and it was the BEST EVER to get see Whittney and Ryan. I miss them so so much and can't wait til they move here. (they don't have a choice). Last minute, a bunch of our other friends decided to come down too so it ended up being quite the partayyy! We went to Schliterbaahn Waterpark, The Alamo, the beach, yummy restauants, annnd I got to see Whitt's amazing boutique she works at! It was the best.



Ryan just wanted to go get some ice cream...





we made up a sweet game called CORNCCI- mix between corn hole and bocci. Vair fun game.





Our sand turtle RoseMaria




Breakfast in the ghetto. It was DELICIOUS.





We beat the boys SOOO bad at corncci. Go Team Texas Forever!





We ordered calzones and they brought out the biggest things I've ever seen.



I HEART RYAN and WHITTNEY. I HEART TEXAS.
