Oh ya, I live in Arizona...

It is nearing the end of October and I am hearing about the beautiful leaves in Provo Canyon, the cold chill taking hold of New York, the snow starting to flutter around the country, the beautiful crisp fall air.

But yet here, something seems a bit wrong. Our air conditioning is still running. The weather report today states it is 100 degrees !!!!! The only change in color Kent and I can detect in the trees is the citrus fruits turning yellow.

The cactus' around me seem to be laughing, " ha ha ha there is no fall in AZ, cactus' can't loose their leaves. No crisp fall air, no sweaters, or colors, it will be hot forever in this desert." ahhhh!!!!

Ultrasound

Well, today was ultrasound day, and we found out that it is a little Girl! The baby was very active and was moving all around. Here are some pictures.

4 Months Pregnant

Yep this week I am officially 18 weeks along/ 4 months! The weird thing is that my belly just popped right out this week too. I looked totally normal last week, then BAM this week I popped right out and my pants don't even fit.

We will find out in a week or two what the gender is. Make a guess. Yea I can't wait. Kent thinks it is a boy for sure. I think every dad thinks their unborn baby will be a boy though. I am still back and forth. We shall see....

Beach Bums

We headed out to California at the end of the summer before Kent started up school again to visit my folks and and the beach. It was fun, though a abnormally chile day at the beach.

Kent and I went boogy boarding and even tryed out skim boarding but couldn't get the thing to work for us, even though all the kids around us were skim boarding like pros.
My parents got in the water with us for a little while but ended up changing back into their normal clothes and reading the rest of the day. I remided my dad that your not supposed to wear long pants and socks to the beach. He said he didn't want to blind everybody with his white legs. They are fun. My dad played some frisbee with us. It was a good trip to California.

Beware of the Scorpions

The past few days we have found two different scorpions in our apt. One on the door frame; I screamed and Kent Killed it with the end of a broom stick. And the other on the shower curtain this morning; I am glad Kent took his shower first. All I can say is this is getting kinda scary.

Cinnamon Roll Night

This last weekend, we went over to one of our friends homes for dinner. As part of this, they asked us to bring a dessert. Sometime in the previous week we had eaten a yummy cinnamon roll, but there was only one so we decided to make more. These are pictures of our cinnamon roll making endeavors. They turned out really good, though they made for a really messy kitchen.

The Heart Beat

Kent and I went to our ob appointment last week and the most exciting thing ever happened. The doctor put the doppler up to my lower abdomen and there it was....a quick little heart beat, beating 162 beats per minute. It was so amazing!!! Wow, now it doesn't seem like I am making the whole thing up anymore.
