Pickles and Ice Cream

Only a tasty combination when one is pregnant. That's right...my ego is prego! The baby is due on July 26th and it cannot come soon enough. It is hard work growing another person inside of you. Jer thinks this baby will be a girl. I think it might be a girl as well, only due to the fact that I crave sour things and can't stop throwing up. Oh yeah, and the Chinese calander says I'm having a girl, and that's never wrong. What do you think?

Verdicts in

Michael loves the snow. Whewww. Living back in the tundra, I was hoping Michael would be a fan of the blistering cold and snow....and he is. He loves it. He never wants to come in and will sit outside and eat snow until his mouth freezes. Good thing he takes after his daddy. You can tell I haven't dressed a baby for the snow in quite a while because he looks like the little boy on Christmas Story that can't put his arms down. Poor kid will probably die of heat stroke instead of freezing to death!

Of course, we haven't bought any sleds yet, so this is how we sled at the Fortunes.

I want to be a kid

The joys of youth! Watching my little kiddo run around and cause mischief makes me want to be young again. Life is so simple. Here are a few reasons this past week why it is great to be a kid...

You could care less what your hair looks like

It is completely acceptable to eat cake with your hands and rub it all over yourself if you want to

Your favorite toy is a stick and it can entertain you for hours

You can fall asleep anytime, anywhere and it is always acceptable

Vacuuming outside makes just as much sence as vacuuming inside

Family reunion

I love California weather! And I love the beach! If I had enough money, I would live in a little beach house and spend all my days soaking up the sun and playing in the water. Okay, enough dreaming. My family and I headed down to California for my cousin's wedding and a family reunion. We had a great time and it was hard to come back to reality. Here are some pics of our adventure.

Halloween

Michael dressed up as a knight this year. It was so cute. Of course he didn't keep the hat or the boots on for over 5 minutes, but I was able to snap some pics of him. I think we had more fun than he did!

My baby is Two!

I no longer have a baby. I have an energized toddler. When did that happen? Michael turned two a little while ago (I'm a little behind on my blogs) and I thought I would post some pics. He was spoiled with three birthday parties and too many presents. I have to say that celebrating his birthdays are almost more fun then celebrating my birthday. Being a mom is the best. Happy birthday baby!

Go Jeremy Go

Jeremy is a brave soul. He just ran his first sprint triathalon in Utah and did awesome. He swam, biked, and ran through the freezing rain and came out victorious! Next year, we want all of you to do it with him. Here are some pics of his journey. Thank you to Laura and Terry who came down to cheer him on.
