Long overdue....

So lots been going on around here. Troy and I are here in cali, we've been here for a few weeks now. We came out here for troy to work for our bro in law. We were hoping it would last the whole summer but i think he only has 1 more week left.  We are going to try and find something else for him to do for work but we dont know what! I've been doing hair 2 days a week here at my moms. Can i just say even tho i get a bit bored i love not having a full time job!!! I just feel like a little housewife! I would work more but troy is a bit concerned for me, which i think is cute, he doesnt like me working too much since im prego haha. I have to admit it is getting a little harder to do hair the bigger i get! Oh and i have to say i love love love being here in cali, the weather here is so amazing! I seriously never want to go back to az, or at least while its summer. I can actually wear clothes and not be miserable. I do wish i were in az just so i can get our house ready and get the nursery ready but other than that i really just want to stay here until i have the baby. Another thing thats happening is right now troy is filling out applications for medical school, there are so many things you need to do for that! Also Troy got a 30 on his Mcat which is awesome!!! we were so excited about that. Troy will be turning in his application in a couple weeks and thats when all of it starts! Anyway thats whats been going on. I still have to post pics all the way back to easter, i'll try and do that soon. Oh also im 28 weeks today, in my 3rd trimester yay!!!

I havent posted in a while and i have tons of  pics to post but dont feel like doing that right now. I went to my doc appt yesterday and im a few days away from being 6 months!! can you believe that! Even though i feel so fat and not cute i was pretty excited that i've only gained 12 pounds so far, hopefully i wont gain a ton in the last few months! I have to give a shout out to my hubby who while im sitting here not feeling good hes grocery shopping and when i came home today from nannying he was picking up the house. He really has been so good to me and i appreciate it soooo much!!! I dont know what i would do without him.

Here is the ultrasound where Troy and I found out that we are having a baby GIRL!!! We are planning on naming her Lyla Jayne Palmer.  Sorry this is such a long video, we wanted to get everything

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....

For my 23rd Birthday Troy planned for us to go to California for the weekend. On Friday night we went to a yummy italian place called Roman Cucina. A few friends and my family came. It was so fun to get together with all of them and I also got some cute b-day gifts!!!

Then on sat. Troy and I went to disneyland. You get in for free on your bday. It was a little crowded and since I'm prego we couldn't go on the big rides but it was actually still really fun riding the kiddie rides. We just had so much fun having it be the 2 of us! Then on sunday my mom made me a yummy tri-tip steak dinner! It was serioulsy the best birthday weekend ever. 

Troy bought me 2 really cute shirts from forever 21for my bday and he kept in mind that I'll be growing bigger. He did such a good job i love the shirts and he also got me some earings.

here's me my mom and sister kristen

my friends kristen and nicole
here's the group
me and nicole


when it's your birthday at disneyland they treat you very well, especially when they have you wear a button saying it's your bday

me and troy like making the ugliest faces ever. This is us while we were eating dinner

yes i get a wheelchair when i go to disneyland. My back and feet kill!!! after a while. yes I know I'm a grandma! dont judge
worst pic but this was us on the tea cups spinning soooo fast. we felt sick after!
it's a small world ride

on march 7th we went to the Jimmy Eat World concert. It was a lot of fun and troy was just in heaven, it's his fav. band ever. They play sooo good live

are you dumb?

so someone already asked me...." are you sure theres not 2 babies in there?". Who asks that? by the way i was only like 12 weeks. So obviously it wasnt the baby making me look so big it was my chub! I've also been asked if im pregnant TWICE before i was even pregnant. People need to learn not to ask dumb questions! geez. Oh by the way im dying to know what im having i've seriously been looking for ultra sound places for cheap cause i dont want to wait 4 weeks i want to know NOW. So if you know of any places let me know.

Valentines Day!!!!

This Valentines Day was Troy's turn to plan everything, we switch off every year. And let me tell you he really did such an awesome job! In the morning he surprised me and took me to get a manicure and pedicure. He already had made the appt. before hand. After that we just hung out and took a nap. Later in the evening he made me a bubble bath and even bought the stuff for it and had candles and everything. So while i was taking my nice bath and getting ready he was preparing dinner. I wasnt allowed to come out till he was done. This is was i came out to. Isn't that so romantic. He made such a yummy dinner. A pasta dish, roles, and salad with sparkling cider. I just had to take a picture of it. As we were eating he gave me such a sweet card it made me tear up a bit. Then he handed over the movie Mamma Mia and told me he tried to find a chick flick that he would never want to watch otherwise. I thought that was so sweet. But I felt bad cause it was the lamest movie ever!!! Then after dinner we went and had some ice cream at cold stone. Seriously this was the best Valentines ever, he really put so much time and thought into it and I just love Troy so much! He truly is the best husband ever!

There are 2 more new posts below!

Day Date

Me and Troy were able to go to the Chocolate Affair in Glendale a couple weeks ago. There was a park full of tents with people selling chocolate, candy, food, jewelry, paintings etc. We had some Chocolate covered strawberries and a root beer float. Then we had fun walking around to all the fun antique shops that were there, there was tons of them. It was fun getting to spend the whole day with Troy!

This video here is so random but hilarious. Troy decided to roll himself into the comforter and wiggle like a worm. I thought it was pretty funny i even snorted as you can hear!

Long over due

So this post is so long over due. Its Christmas break. We spent a week in cali (it was my family's turn to have us for Christmas!) Also the pictures are so out of order so if you want you can start at the bottom. Since the post is so long and I honestly can't remember all what we did during the break since it was so long ago i'll just explain each picture.

Here's me and one of my best friends Nicole. We have known each other since we were like 14.
This pic was taken at a really yummy italian restaurant in Fullerton. We went with a few other couples. Its always so fun to hang out with nicole and her hubby Jeff.
So this pic was taken another night, these guys i've known forever too. Jd (left) and Bryce. we all went out to Bj's and then saw the movie Yes Man (lame movie dont see it). I love these guys we always laugh when we're together!

Heres the group at Bj's

This picture was taken on Christmas night. My mom always makes really yummy food and anyone is invited to come join us and hang out. Here are my sissy's (carolee and mel missing)

This pic is of my cute parents on Christmas eve. We always go out to eat and see a movie on Christams eve. We ate a Olive Garden.

Me and my sis Joy

Ok So these few pictures are of me and Troy doing our tradition. We have a night that we spend together sometime before Christmas. We make a really nice dinner that we've never made before and cook it together. Then we open our christmas presents from each other. I got Troy 2 sweaters and a movie and he got me a beautiful necklace that i had picked out!

After that we watch a Christmas movie. We always have such a fun together we look forward to this night every year.

Here's troy lighting the fire while we watch the movie.

Me and Troy

Heres the yummy food! we made a pasta dish with cheese fondue with veggies and bread to dip and some salad.

Another night we went with my cousin Cara and Evan and with Danica, Brennen and Trevor to the temple lights. Then afterwards we went to cara's house and has some hot cocoa.

Cute!

Hes excited to be there!

this is a cheesy pic but i love it.

Now here is me and Troy putting up our pretty Christmas tree. Man was it work! The tree kept falling so we had to tie it down.

I love our tree!

There you have it. That was sure a long post. We had such a great time during Christmas we love spending time with all our families and friends!

So embarassing......

So today i went to wal mart and the first thing i did was go to the bathroom, then i was on my way to grocery shop. Well i came home and felt on my butt toilet paper hanging from my pants!!!!! When i went pee i laid toilet paper down and i guess when i pulled my pants up it got caught so some of it was hanging out of my pants! can you believe that the whole time i was walking around like that, and no one said anything!!!!! im so embarassed!!!

Dedicated to Troy...

Troy is truely the best husband! why you ask? well lately i've had a couple cravings :) so Troy has made a few trips to the store for me to get me some pickles, then another occasion i told him i was wanting some ice cream and he suprised me with some and now tonight i was talking on the phone with him saying how bad i wanted now and laters (my fav. candy). He was taking longer than expected because he was just coming home from school and so i called him and he said he was at the store looking for my candy and they didnt have any so he went to another store to find them. Seriously is he the best or what?! I am so lucky and i just love him so much!! I am so excited to start a family with him i just cant wait to see what a great father hes going to be!!! I am just so blessed i have him in my life!!!!!

Baby Palmer

I had my first dr. appt today and one of the videos shows the heart beat and the other the baby is moving. Its so cute!! it looks like a teddy bear, and whats crazy is it already has its hands and feet. The dr. blew up the baby so you can see it more but its only about an inch. Crazy huh? well enjoy the videos!

ok....

so for you people who have been asking im 6 1/2 weeks along and im due aug. 23rd. i guess i am a little embarassed that im telling people so soon but whatever im excited. When i was in cali my sis did an ultra sound on me and thats how i found out my due date and i also got to see the heartbeat, it was really cute. Anyway there you go. Oh and also sorry for telling everyone by blogging and facebook i know its so impersonal but theres just too many to tell so if i could i would call everyone individually.

IM PREGNANT!

THANKSGIVING!!

Heres me and Troy at his parents house for Thanksgiving. We spent the majority of the weekend with his family because we alternate holidays between the two families and this was with the Palmers this year. We spent it with his immediate family, and with lots of yummy food! Heres our niece Rory, shes sooo cute!

Troy holding Mason, I think Troy wants one!!

Here we are at the Palmers on friday making ginger bread houses

Our cute house, Troy did the Chimney, hes so creative

Then on sat. was spent with my family (mostly my extended family) we went to the temple together and after went to my cousin Becky's house and had pizza, hung out and played games

Heres some of the girl cousins

Last but not least, this is me performing the dance in Beyonce's video "all the single ladies" for everyone. You ask why i was doing that??? well we play a game called "make me laugh". Someone stands up and tries to do whatever they can to make everyone laugh but everyone watching isnt allowed to laugh or show teeth or they will have to be the next person up. So this was my thing to make people laugh.

All in all we had a great thanksgiving spent with all our families and had such a fun time.
