2012 Updates

The year 2012 has been a roller coaster for us so far. We put a bid for a house in Saratoga Springs in December. We loved the house and we knew that we were the highest offer. The bank would reply with its decision on the house at the beginning of the year. Unknown to us, another offer came in at the last minute, outbid us, and got the house....bummer. I felt shocked, angry, and depressed all within an hour or so. But, what can you do?
The Saratoga Springs house:(
Here is our next #1 option. Its located in Pleasant Grove (So much closer to Matt's work), it has 1/4 acre yard (fenced), it is 2400 sq ft, 4 bdrm, 3 bathrm. However, it is in need of some definite tlc. We've already placed a bid on it so we should hear back from the bank mid February or so. 

Pleasant Grove house. Cross your fingers!
Well on a much lighter note, life overall is going great. I have started working out at Gold's Gym with a group of girls from our ward. It works out great. Matt goes and works out with the guys at 7am and gets home by 8am so the girls can go while the boys watch the kids. We go to a few classes including zumba, pilates, etc. It definitely works me hard. And consequently, I haven't gained any weight with the pregnancy yet:) I am 15 weeks right now and am super excited to find out if we're having a boy or girl. Matt is crossing his fingers for a boy, so we'll have to wait and see.

Here are some fun pictures of Kendall.

Working out with mama. She's lifting a 5lb weight (about 1/4 her body weight!)
Wearing mommy's shoes. She loves trying on anyone's shoes:) Total girl.


Helping mommy brush her hair. Maybe once she grows some real hair of her own, she'll understand you never yank on hair brushes. Ouch!


Thanks Aunt Colleen for all the new books! This is a pretty common sight throughout the day. Kendall will retreat into her room and read books to herself.


Kendall apparently doesn't like it when mom needs to go to the bathroom....ever. She whimpers outside the door and will stick her fingers underneath. I start laughing every time!
