Tia Frandsen

  So here's just a few pictures.  Love her to death!  We have been waiting too long but it was well worth it:) We named her Tia.  She was born Sept. 6 at 6:03 pm. She was 7lbs 5 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long.

update

I'm the worst at blogging. I know.  ANYWAY...here's a quick update.  We had a great summer back in AF!  We really enjoyed all the time we got to spend with our families. But, something happened over the summer that I knew was coming but when it happened it hit me like a ton of bricks. My baby girl got bigger and I got HUGE:)  This is a picture of me in Cedar in May right before we left to come home for the summer.  I was 20 weeks and felt big and chubby! Ha...didn't know what was coming:)

This is me at 26 weeks.  Wow...alot can happen in just 6 weeks:)

AND finally...32 weeks! This was the day of my baby shower so we took quite a few pictures but I think I'll be fine with not having another pregnant picture haha. 

                       Here's the darling diaper cake that my aunts made for my shower. 

All the girlies who helped with my shower.  Ky, Krissy, Jo, Sam, Hallie (I love how she put her hand on her hip), Cass, and me, hiding in the back haha:)

My mom and her two sisters who made all the food and made my shower look so cute. Thank you!:)

Me and Hal.  She was looking forward to my shower for so long!  In sharing time in primary they asked if anyone had exciting news to share.  Hallie rose her hand and said that I was having my baby shower in 4 days.  She was so cute and fun at my shower. She stayed by me practically the whole time and I couldn't keep up with her opening all of my gifts:)  Love her! She is going to be a second mommy to my little girl. 

And randomly...here's babys crib:)  So fun decorating!! I still have to find stuff to hang from the hooks but it's coming along.

Well...thats about it for us.  We're just playing the waiting game now.  I'm 36 weeks this Friday and couldn't be more ready to have our little girl. We moved back to Cedar last Thursday and Bryce had his first day back at good ol' SUU yesterday.  We really do love it here! We miss our families but are enjoying our time together before the baby gets here.  We have her crib and bassinet all set up and last night for family night we packed baby's and my bag for the hospital.  It's becoming so real and the closer it gets the more stir crazy I get.  I just need her here so bad! I can't wait to be a mom.  Well hopefully next time I post I'll have a baby!:)

Well...Here it goes!

 I guess I'll let the cat out of the bag since the news is pretty well known anyway.  I'm FINALLY pregnant! We found out 2 Sundays ago and we couldn't be happier! I'm having a hard time being patient and even waiting for my next doctors appointment! I'm just way, way too excited! I knew Bryce wouldn't hold out much longer. He loves kids too much! He is just as excited as I am. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait:)

Our summer

 Now that summer is over...of course this is when I post about it:)  I'm always just a little OR a lot late.  But we had a great summer!! Bryce and I both worked a lot but we also got to play(mostly me though cause Bryce is such a stinkin hard worker I couldn't get him to take work off...I am grateful he's such a hard worker though).  Anyway,  these are the two kids I was a nanny for over the summer.   We had so much fun!  Seriously, they were the best kids.  I don't know how I lucked out with them but they were so much fun! I miss them:)

        Their names are Evan and Kate and we definitely had a summer full of fun activities.

 Then there was my 21st Birthday in July! Bryce took me out to dinner to our favorite place to eat...California Pizza Kitchen! YUM!

 I actually got to celebrate my birthday twice.  My whole family got together for the fourth of july at my grandparents club house and my mom made me peanut butter bars(of course I had those for my b-day "cake"...they're the best!) and everyone sang to me. Also, still baby hungry. Can you tell? 

I had some good candle blowing out helpers:)  ooo I love those two!

THEN...my favorite vacation of all time, lake powell!  Really, I would rather go to lake powell than anywhere in the whole world.  I love it! Tubing, wakeboarding, cliff jumping, being with family...does it get any better than that?

Oh, did I say dancing? Our favorite is to dance to some reggae and jack johnson! Yes, that is my HOT brother Carson bustin' some sweet moves:) He makes me laugh so hard. I love this little "big" brother of mine. I remember dragging him around the house by his legs when he was a baby and taking care of him and now he's like, I would guess, probably 12 times bigger than me:)..weird!  As much as he does like to tease me, still love him to death! He's the best!

We definitely had some tube wars and there is Carson trying to flip us! Geez, just me and Ky...yeah right, we weren't fighting back.  We had no chance.  We just kept trying to get as far away from him as possible. He's CRAZY!

We finally got away!  I think we were really proud of ourselves:) Lake Powell was a BLAST! Bryce missed this trip to work but he let me go because it's my favorite! We had a few more vacations but I did really bad at taking pictures this summer.  It was a really good summer though!

Grizzie

So...you know how I said I was super baby hungry?  Well, turns out I get a puppy instead, for now:) My dear Bryce got a wild hair and (SO randomly) decided to get a bulldog.  We were watching a movie and there's this bulldog that is sitting at the counter eating ice cream from a cone and Bryce starts getting all excited saying, "That is SO cool! I want that dog!" I was really shocked because Bryce is not much of a dog lover, to say the least.  But apparently, this dog is just, "SO COOL!". So this is the story of how we ended up with a bulldog instead of a baby.  Pretty sad, I know.  Although, she is pretty darn cute if I do say so myself.       

Grizzie is her name, chewing EVERYTHING in sight is her game!

GOSH! She is so stinkin FAT!!  She has rolls from her nose to her toes! She is so funny.  I'm not looking forward to the day she gets big and ugly with an underbite and starts slobbering all over.  Don't worry she's an outside dog:)

Guess who's SUPER baby hungry....YES, ME, ME, ME!! Gosh, I found this picture of ty ty when he was about 2 months old and it only made matters worse.  Bryce doesn't want to have kids until he's done with his prerequisites for PA school...uh! I mean I know kids are a lot of work and they poop, and cry, and all that jazz, but really Bryce...look how sweet, Ty Ty is:) Don't you want one?!!! I even made a deal with Bryce the other day that I would change every single diaper...not only on our first child, but all of our kids! Not a big deal to me, I'll wipe their cute little bums, but for Bryce this was a pretty tempting offer. Sadly, not tempting enough I guess:( I'll keep working on him!   

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Bryce and I have been married for one year now...WOW!  Our anniversary was on Sunday and we were both shocked at how fast this year has gone by for us. It feels like just yesterday that we went on our awful, first date:) Good thing we gave each other another shot or else I wouldn't be married to my best friend! I love you Bryce! I am finally going to try and keep up on my blog but I'm not very good at it. I figured since we've been married for a year now it might be about time to post some wedding pics. A little late but, oh well:)

Hallie was dying to hold my "princess" dress up for me.

Notice my furry boots:) They were a definite need for my toes...didn't want frost bite again, especially on my wedding day!

Bryce is probably Ty Ty's favorite person...well I guess Ky and Matt have to be in there somewhere too, but he LOVES Bryce!

Oh my gosh!! Ty Ty's little tux was SO cute!

Weston played a REALLY good joke on the moms. We were all color coordinated in cream and black, ready for pictures, before the reception, when Weston rolls in wearing a baby blue tux. We all got a good laugh! Trust Weston:) It was so funny!!

We were having trouble with Sheyenne's wristlet. We finally got it though huh Sheyenne:) She's so cute!

I can't remember what we were laughing at, but it must have been really funny!  I love my mom SO much! She's the best mom EVER! Sorry everyone, I got her:)

And yes, here is the best dad ever haha. He's definitely the funnest dad thats for dang sure! CRAZY, FUN, HAPPY, DARING, and LOVING all at the same time!

 

AND...to sum it all up, I have the most AMAZING in-laws a girl could ever ask for! It's like having two sets of great parents.  I never would have imagined I would have been blessed to marry into such a great family. I LOVE you guys SO,SO much! Thanks for everything you do for us!

All of these handsome men I was surrounded by all day:)  Mostly the one in the middle who wishes he would have worn his cowboy boots! 

And look at all of my beautiful brides maids!
