28 Weeks...and GROWING!

I am posting again and its only been like 5 days, shocker! hehe However, I realized I have not taken a belly picture for awhile now and decided that today I was going to. So the past couple of days I have been finding myself making several comments about how big my belly is getting to Cory, and he politely responds to my repetitiveness with a cute smile and a nod saying "yes you are getting bigger." I don't know why but all of a sudden all I notice is my growing tummy. I notice it when I stand, when I sit, and especially when I am trying to sleep! So here are a few pictures I snapped of my baby bump large and round, poking out for the world to see! I am in love with it nonetheless because of the wonderful miracle inside whom we are patiently awaiting his arrival!




This is a close-up and if you look real close you can see my little man pushing out his hand making a lumpy bump. Do you see it? haha just kidding! This is just me dreaming of all the cute baby stuff I wish I could get! :)

Birthday wishes and a trip to Chicago!

Me on my 23rd birthday! Don't you just love the amazing wrapping job my wonderful husband did? Complete with balloons on every gift! hehe I sure do love him! Cory was very sneaky this year with my presents because he knows how big of a peeker i am, so I didn't know anything about what he got me. He did a great job on making the day special for me! The best present I got this year though was finding out that we are having a BOY!!! The day before my birthday I had a very long awaited ultrasound scheduled to finally know pink or blue, and now we know we are definitely going BLUE! We are both so excited and this will be the first grandson on my side of the family! I can't wait to meet our little man and I already have so much love for him! Also, I got another big present this year that was a trip home to see my little brother before he leaves for his mission! So, bright and early the next morning after my b-day I flew out to Chicago and had such a great time with my parents and brother! For the ten days I was there we went to a Cubs game, Red Robin for birthday burgers, celebrated my brother's 20th b-day, spent time with family, and of course of baby shopping!!! I had such a fun time with my mom going to tons of garage sales where we were able to find some great deals! The greatest part of the whole trip though was when I got to go to the temple with my brother for his first time! What a wonderful experience it is to be with the ones you love most in the most perfect place on earth. Thank you Cory, Mom, and Dad for allowing me to do this trip!

19 Weeks and Something to Show for it!

Finally over the past two weeks now I have noticed my belly getting bigger. So here is the first belly picture I have taken being pregnant! I have also been able to feel the little tooter moving around which makes me so happy! I won't be able to have my ultrasound to find out the gender of the baby until Sept. 1st. Boo. Cory and I are very anxious to find out, so just one month more of waiting!

We are going to have the BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT this year!

Well The word has been out for a little while now, but for those who haven't heard the BIG news yet...I am PREGNANT! Last week I was able to have an ultrasound done and this is a snap shot of our cute little baby that we are so excited to meet in December! I just love looking at the picture and seeing that tiny hand sticking up! I am 11 weeks along right now (almost 12!) and am feeling so much better than I was the last couple of weeks! Pregnancy is a whole new experience that both Cory and I are trying to figure out! My sweet husband has been so incredibly amazing these past couple weeks and I am so grateful that he is my baby's Daddy! hehe Cory and I have been so excited since day one when we found out we were expecting and our excitement continues to grow each day! The due date as of this most recent ultrasound is December 28, 2009...but we'll see if that changes as I get further along. There isn't any belly bump developing yet, but I know once it comes it will only get much bigger! Which I am fine with because I love my babies WELL rounded! hehe

What A Wonderful First Year

Its been one whole year since Cory and I tied the knot and I have to say my love for him has grown so much! There was so much that happened throughout our first 12 months together and I am grateful for every experience we have had! Our Anniversary is on May 3rd which was a Sunday this year...so we went out the day before to do some celebrating! Cory planned the night for us which included a fun dinner by the beach followed by a walk on the beautiful white sanded beach! Then after that we got some ice cream at a cute little spot. While we were there another couple were there getting some ice cream who we asked to take a picture for us and Cory told them it was our 1st year anniversary. They were very happy for us and said they were going on number 35! They also wished us many more to come! I look forward to the day when Cory and I celebrate 35 years of love and happiness together! Then to finish off the night Cory wanted to get us a fun gift so we picked up a WII on the way home! I cannot wait to get all the mario games to play on it cause thats really all I like hehe! Here are some pictures from the night...oh and on sunday our real anniversary we did the whole tasting of the top of our wedding cake! which was gross and very dry! But atleast we can say we did it!





















I Love You So Much Sweetheart! I have never had as much fun in my whole life as I have this past year being married to you! Life is Good!

Another School Year Comes To An End...

I realize that I haven't posted in over a month, but I honestly have not been able to due to school ending, moving for the summer, and not having a working computer! But at last we purchased a new laptop that we have been dreaming about for awhile! So hopefully now I won't have any excusses not to post. Well let me fill you in on some recent happenings in the Evans's Life.

For the past little while Cory has just been finishing up with his junior year at SVU and doing some preseason work/recruiting for the summer. I on the other hand was not doing much but hangout with girfriends and their beautiful babies, and getting everything ready to move down to the Dirty South for the summer...Mobile, AL Baby!

The last week before moving is always caotic but I had lots of time on my hands and two wonderful friends who afford their services. But even with all the craziness of packing we were able to squeeze in one last FHE with our cherished group of friends! Next year we are going to miss the Holt's and the Hansen's very much because lucky JJ and Pete got to graduate this year...congrats guys! It was nice to be all together, minus Holly and Jacob :(, one last time and have a fun little BBQ. Here are a few pictures from the evening! Cory and I have truely enjoyed such wonderful company and lessons each week for FHE...not to mention the always delicious treats! hehe


If I knew how I would photoshop Holly and Jacob in...missed you two very much!


Silly picture take 1...not everyone knew that we were doing one! haha


Silly picture take 2...I honestly don't know what me and Cory are doing!
