Somebody call the Wambulance!

Because I’ll calling out for help.  I know there are quite a few of you that have had your first child already.  What is something that you learned that we be good to know with the first child?  One thing for sure is I ready to share my excitement of the outdoors.  I found this cool hiking pack online and bought it right away.  It has a kid seat, changing table, sun & rain fly, bottle holders, baby handles, safety restraints.  Its pretty sweet.  Can’t wait to use it since mountain biking & shooting is out of the picture for quite some time.

 

Its confirmed, due date…

This post wasn’t allowed until after the doctors appointment.  For now all we know is a baby is in there, it gets better, has a heartbeat!  It feels weird to know there is a new human being in the household.  For now we will wait to see if its a boy or girl.  Preferably a boy because we have an agreed name.  Girl name might take a while on consensus.  Tentative date – June 26th.  We’ll have a better perspective on the 30th when we get the ultrasound done.

Mountain Biking @ Moab Utah

We recently went on a quick road trip to meet friends in Moab Utah, AKA – The Mountain Biking Mecca!  I (Jeff) loved almost every minute of it.  The few minutes I didn’t like was taking Kelsey back to the car.  Its quite a bit more than she could handle.  Another girl broke her foot right at the beginning so its not for beginners or anyone who isnt 100% confident.  My friend Thomas Gardner came with us because it always more fun with multiple people.  I had a nice spill at the beginning but it isn’t fun unless you bring something back with you.  I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Cakes!

Here are a few of the cakes I have done recently. The two smaller ones were birthday cakes. I call them mini fondant cakes. The other one has my husbands companies logo on it. I was just messing around with some homemade fondant and decided to attempt to mimic the logo. I just made my sister-in-laws birthday cake so I will put that pic up soon. I also am doing a baby shower cake this month and my nieces baptism cake. Its alot of fun and everytime I do a cake I learn something new!

Colorado!

Well we got to go to Colorado again!! It was yet again so much fun. All we do is play, quad, go to the mountains/cabin, play four wheeler tag, go to the alligator farm (yes there is an alligator farm in little Manassa, Colorado) weird I know, go to the sand dunes...well ya get the point we just try and do everthing while we are there. This year was know different. We go up around the 24th of July. There is a celebration, remembering when the pioneers came over. It is two packed days of fun events, a parade, carnival, rodoe, demolition derby, 5K run. It always feels like there is too much to do and never enough time! Jeff, my sister Jessica and her husband Jeff (we really like Jeffs in my family) totally did the 5K run this year. My Jeff totally did not have any training for it, I know its only like three miles but I didnt do it because I thought I would die because of the alttitude difference and I had been running in AZ daily. Did that stop Jeff?! NOPE. He did really good actually, he finished second and came home with a trophy! Maybe next year I will work up the courage to do it. Anyway thx Grandma Sowards and Uncle Kim for letting us invade your house yet again. We look forward to it every year!

Update

So I bet you all think I only get on my blog to change the background a million times. We are way over due for an update sorry friends (that is if we still have any loyal followers!) I dont even know where to start...Our summer was really fun. I decided not to take a summer class which was really nice. We went camping with Jeffs family over the fourth. We went up to Heber. It was alot of fun I have never seen fireworks like those! And believe me when I tell you we were literally right under all the action! The weather was good, we even got rain whiched helped cool things down. We went hiking and found a some sort of snake and let me ask you this ladies...why is it that everytime boys fins a deadly dangerous creature they want to play with it??!! Makes no sense to me! We did the usual Beaty tradition and went shooting. That little guy is our nephew. He was so funny to watch, he would get so excited about the guns. He would point to the guns and say "pow, pow." Grandpa Beaty helped him shoot and he loved it. Here are some of my favorite pics.
