Utah in Pictures

As promised here are some more pics. While I was in Utah I took more than 200 pictures so it was hard to narrow it down. But here is the sum of our trip. 

Abby after Aunt Codee did her hair. She was being her typical self.

After she calmed down...

Dying Easter Eggs at Aunt Kelly's

Great Grandma and Abigail

Isn't this picture great of my mom and Abby has the best face too!

Codee's baby shower, she made out well.

My mom and I at the Baby shower.

Abby on the way to the park.

Enjoying one of a few sunny days that we were there. Rans, Gma, Mom, Code, Kelly and Abby.

At the park Abby had fun with the chalk.

I was able to attend the Sunday General Session of Conference. This is the SLC Temple from the 3rd floor of the conference center.

Not a great pic but this is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, they were awesome. It sounded like listening to a CD. It was a great experience being in the same room as the Prophet (no matter how big of a  ''room'' is it is.)

 

This is Abby and Jay, a daily occurrence.

Misc Happenings

Mission calls having been coming fast in my family. My cousins, the Buddies, both just got their calls to Brazil a few days ago. Congrats to them. (Here is a link to their video for those who are interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65OAiv_vVxA ) Then my Brother in Law Luke got his too. That's him below and he is headed for Manchester, England in July. If you know Luke you know how perfectly fitting that call is.

This is my Niece Izzy and she is so cute, its hard to think I will have one of these in a few short months.

Seth with Izzy, despite what he may say seeing him with Izzy confirms he is ready for our new little one too, because he is so cute with her.

This is my Papa Ken, we were able to see him for a bit when he came down for my dads birthday. Abby thought he was funny.

Abby in the dress she was supposed to wear for Easter but it was just too cold in Utah, so she wore it last week.

That's all the news for now. I am sure there will be more to come, not to mention all the pics from Utah I still have.

The BIG News.....

Some know, others suspected and those who don't see me have no clue that....I'm PREGNANT. Yes folks, its true and... I am 18 1/2 weeks! I know its a shock to most people, but be sure it has been a shock to us for the last 4 1/2 months. That's probably why we have waited so long to say anything. I think I am still in shock. Even today when we found out the sex, I am in shock. This pregnancy has been remarkably easier than Abby thus far, and I hope, given my history, continues to be so. The baby looks great and is right on track growth wise. Its a mover and a shaker and was squirming around in the womb. We are excited and scared at the same time and can't wait to meet the next blessing to our family. Here are some pics of me last week, I look kinda greasy but give me a break I did have sunscreen on and I look like a tomato because I am sunburned.....


Oh and did I fail to mention that ITS A BOY!!!!!!....So I am open to any name suggestion you all are willing to send my way.

Abby and Jay

We are home, and I have so many pics to share. These moments occurred often because Abby couldn't help but love on her cousin. Jay was a good sport and tolerated her incessant need to hug and kiss him.

More to come later....

Heading Home

My trip here in Utah is coming to an end. I will be heading home in two days. The time has passed quickly and it has been nice to spend some time with the family. However, we have missed home and are ready to get back to real life. Abby has had so much fun playing with Jay and she never stops hugging and kissing him, as well as her Aunt, Uncle and Grandma's. I have so many pictures to share and will do so when I get home. Here is a little pic of Abby from Easter (of course it is from my phone).

Borrowed Pics and video

I borrowed some pictures from Codee's camera, however I have about 100 where she only has 12, so this should suffice until I get home. We have spent time in various places, my Aunt Kelly's, the park, the Timpanogos Temple (even though it was closed). Of course I also got extremely sunburned from the hour I spent sitting in the driveway watching the kids play. So that's fun. Thus today the greasy look I wore today because of all the sunscreen.

Here is a little diddy by Jay and Abby from my phone.

Utah here we are!

Well, Abby and I are officially in Utah. The flight was eventful to say the least, Abby screamed at the top of her lungs a lot and tried to gouge my eyes out a few times. But she did sit still for her 40 minute nap on the plane. There were other events but I am sure those who have toddlers understand the trials of travels and children. Its been pretty lousy weather here so far so we just visit and watch the kids play a lot. When Abby wakes up the first thing she asks for is Jay. She loves playing with him although we have to work on her sharing skills. I was able to get tickets to conference for the Sunday session so I am super excited to do that for the first time. I am sure it will be amazing in person. Not much else to report on, I have taken some pics but I will probably wait until I return to get them on here. We are excited to see everyone and my mom and grandma will be coming up soon too. Its nice to see Codee pregnant since I never did when she was pregnant with Jamison. Anyway we are a bit homesick as we are missing Seth a ton ....and the nice weather but I am sure this trip will fly by too quickly and I will be home planning the next trip out soon....

First Hair Cut

Yes I know, Abigail is almost two and never had her hair cut. I have been saying for while it needs done but I must admit I did not want to do it. It was becoming a little WT and mullet like. But, she hardly has any hair and I thought it might make her look like a boy. Well, Seth has been not so subtly mentioning that it needs cut and I finally relented. I did however say he was going to have to come with me because I did not want to deal with her screaming and crying on my own whilst someone cut her hair. But, since I am leaving for Utah in a day there was not time in the schedule so I braved it on my own, and it was completely fine. Abby did a lot better than I expected. She sat in the fire engine and played. I had anticipated some funny pics with tantrums but the only tantrum she had was when we left.

She likes to have her hair combed Not quite sure what to think. I am spotted with the camera The final result. Not too shabby.

The new addition

After much waiting the new addition to the Whitworth clan has arrived she was born 3/26/2009 and her name is Isabelle. She is so freaking cute and has more hair than Abby, and she is only a day old. She was 8lbs 4ounces. Both mom and baby are recovering well. We're glad that Abigail isn't the only grand baby anymore. Welcome to the world Izzy. Curt (Seth's brother) and Natalie are the parents, for those who dont know...

Once again, more Abigail

Abby, loves this hat. My sister Codee bought it for her last year and we could not get her to wear it. Now its her pride and joy, she loves it. It makes me feel like she should be in the garden. The pics are from the phone again, sorry.

She is still in her Jammies and was wearing it.

An outing at the park

Just another silly video of Abby. If you listen you can hear her saying Two, Two as in One, Two, Three. Eventually she was saying three but of course that did not make the video. She sometimes falls like this on the hard floor as well as off the coffee table to the couch. She likes to scare me.
