One Snowy Morning

This morning when we woke up and looked outside we were surprised to see that the mountains were covered in snow and that it was actually snowing outside! It wasn't sticking at all but the snow flakes were huge! I took a few pictures so that we could remember our first snowy morning here in Utah. There has been snow fall up in the mountains for a couple of weeks but we haven't seen anything here... until today! : )

these two pictures above are of the mountains after

the snow was done falling

It kinda looks like rain here but those are snow flakes

This is a picture of the mountain when it was snowing...

you cant even really make out the mountain its just

all white

Shower Time

So Saturday the 24th a couple of my friends here at the apartment threw me a baby shower! Everything turned out really nice and I am so grateful for everything that they did for me!! Its so nice to have good friends here, it makes it feel a lot more like home. I got more things that I defiantly needed and Javis and I are just about completely ready for Liliana to be here! Time has gone by so fast and right now it seems like the weeks are just disappearing... I cant even believe it. I had a blast and it will defiantly be something that I remember for ever... my very first baby shower : )

34 Weeks!!

Well my pregnancy is quickly coming to an end... I am already 34 weeks pregnant! I cant even believe how quickly time has passed. We are ready for her to be here and we are getting more and more excited everyday. I have been feeling great except for the tiredness, but I have been able to rest and have been busy preparing myself for her arrival! : ) I have really been enjoying being able to feel her move around and just recently have I really been able to feel strong movements. She is most active in the morning/afternoon around 10 o'clock to 12 probably and if I sit in a chair or car for too long she defiantly lets me know by sticking her feet in my ribs : ) Its been so fun and I am excited for my last month of pregnancy and even more excited for her to be here! We are just so happy and excited and we feel so blessed that there have been no complications and that she is healthy and growing!

I got soul...

This is sorta a long clip... but its totally worth it!! Check it out!

We had such a blast at the concert.. and this was definatly one of the highlights!!

THE KILLERS!!

We didn't really have any big plans for the weekend but when Javis' boss called and asked if we wanted two tickets to The Killers we couldn't pass them up! So on Saturday we got to go see

The Killers concert in Salt Lake!

Not only did we get to go to the concert but we got to sit in the Sprint booth which is always fun. There great seats and the food and drinks are all complimentary : ) This isn't the first time we've gotten to go to the E-Center in Salt Lake and every time we go we have a blast! Its really neat that Sprint has a booth there and that they reward their hardworking management!

Our Vacation

Well we had a great time in Post Falls visiting family and enjoying our vacation! We were super busy and I cant even believe that we were up there for two weeks... I don't know where the time went! We are so grateful for being able to see our families and to get to spend time with them! We are also grateful for all the baby stuff we got to take home with us!! We have truly been blessed! We basically have everything that we need it is so amazing! And I have had so much fun putting everything in place since we've been back!


One of the most exciting things we brought back was the crib bedding! My Mom made my crib bedding for me... which turned out so incredible!!! It couldnt have been better... it is exactly what I pictured in my head! Javis and I were so excited to get it home and put it on our new crib! We are so thankful for all the hard work she put into it and all that she has done for Liliana!

29 Weeks!

I am now into my third trimester and so far so good! I'm really starting to show now and its so exciting!! Since I'm finally having trouble wearing my clothes my Mom helped me pick some out while we were up in Post Falls and they are so comfy and soft... I love them! I just cant believe how quick this is all happening!! Its so great and I'm really enjoying it : )

Are We CRaZy?

We'll we may just be...

Last saturday we got a new cat...Well he's actually only a kitten! He's a orange tabby and only 5 months old! We decided to name him Milo! He loves to be held and is almost always purring. Wickers and him are still getting to know each other but each day they get along a little more : ) When Milo isnt sleeping he's following Wickers around everywhere! They are so cute together and I hope that they can keep each other company and try to behave themselves : )

24 Weeks!!

I Will be 25 Weeks tomorrow but I wanted to take another picture because I feel like I am growing so fast!! I have been feeling fairly good and am looking forward to the rest of my pregnancy. Because it seems as if things are really starting to pick up pace! And now that we're getting the nursury set up I am getting so excited for her to be here!

1 Year!!

Since my brother was still here visiting we spent the day with him at Lagoon... We had a blast celebrating our 1 year anniversary!!It was a special day and we were really glad to be able to spend the day together and to remember all that we have been through and how much our love has grown!! We have been together for 3 years now and everyday we learn new things about each other and about ourselves. Each day is a new adventure and the most important part of each day is that we have each other!!

Jerry comes to Utah

My brother got to take a whole month of vacation! First he went to California to visit my Dad's side of the family (so basically all the Silva's) and then he went to Boise and spent time with my Aunt and my Grandpa Silva. And then we drove to Boise and picked him up so he could spend about a week and a half with us! It was SO much fun having him here!! He left on tuesday and it has been different without him. We were so busy while he was here... we took him to Salt Lake City, we took him to Ogden a couple times to go shopping and to go out and eat, we went to the pool and we even made it down to Lagoon! We had a blast and I really enjoyed his company... we miss having him around but we are really glad he came and spent some of his summer with us!
Here are just a few of the many pictures we took that week : )

22 Weeks!

Well this post is a couple weeks late... since my last post with a pregnancy picture was at 16 weeks. But we have just been so busy and I finally just got Javis to take a picture of me! Anyways I am 22 weeks and time is just flying by!! I am finally starting to find my regular jeans uncomfortable and opt for more comfy clothes especially when I get home! I am also starting to have more of a baby belly and it is so much fun! She loves to kick me .... especially in the morning and at night. She is very active... We're just having a blast Javis loves to put his hand on my belly and feel her move! It is getting more and more exciting everyday!

HAPPY 20th B-day!!

On Tuesday we spent the day celebrating my 20th birthday!

Javis made sure that I had a special birthday from the moment I woke up!

I was so surprised when he brought in my present and him and the cat were wearing party hats!! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen.... I know I will never forget it! After I opened my gifts we headed out to Lagoon!! Even though I wasn't able to ride the roller coasters I still had a blast and we had a great time! The water park was super fun and quite refreshing after that long day in the hot sun! After Lagoon Javis took me out to dinner... it was a great ending to a even better day! It was a pretty exciting birthday since I am officially no longer a teenager ; ) And it was my first birthday away from my family and my first birthday with Javis and I being married! And it was one of the best!! He really did a great job making me feel special and making my day something to remember!!

Sadly I forgot my camera... but I did get this one with my phone

while we were at the water park in Lagoon! : )

Happy 4th of July

We had a great 4th and enjoyed playing in the sun!

We went to the local pool during the day and then we went over to some friends for dinner and to watch the fireworks! The local pool is really big, they have an area for kids and then a huge pool with jumping boards and stuff... there's even a water slide! We spent most of our time playing basketball since on one side of the pool they have some basketball hoops : ) We had a blast spending the day there! And after swimming we stopped at this little local drive up dinner that makes there own ice cream... and it was absolutely delicious! Later when we met up with some friends in our apartment complex we all had a great time eating hamburgers and hanging out waiting for the fireworks! It was our first fourth of July being married and it was definatly one to remember! : )

Getting Some Sun

Today we went out to Bear Lake for the first time and it was beautiful there. It was a perfect day to go because it was warm and there wasn't even a cloud in the sky! The lake is so blue and almost crystal clear... we thought it looked more like an ocean then a lake. It was all sand too.. so walking in the water was a lot more enjoyable then at most lakes : ) We had a great time and even though its pretty far away... I'm sure we will try to make it out there again sometime soon!

It's A ...

So today we found out more information on the BIG NEWS!!

We are going to have a...........

a little.........

BABY GIRL!!!

We are so excited and since I am 16 weeks

we decided to take my first pregnancy profile picture

I have officially gained one pound so far : )

I have a little tummy (especially when I push out as much as I can)

and even though not many people can tell

I can see and feel the difference already!

Our baby is already a little over four inches and

Everything is going well in my pregnancy. I just know

that around six months I'll just wake up double the size I am now!

3 More days... hopefully

So hopefully on Tuesday at 10:30 Javis and I will know if we are having a boy... or a girl...

???

I am so excited and I know that there is a chance we wont be able to find out at this appointment but I am hoping that the baby will be cooperative and "show the goods" so to speak : )

I feel like I have been waiting for so long and to wait another month would be hard because I'm SO EXCITED!! But if not we'll wait until next month, because we'll have no choice : )

But anyways just wanted to share my excitement and I hope that everything goes well!

Big News!!

Javis and I are having a BABY!!

I am currently 14weeks along and my due date is November 30th!!

We couldn't be more excited as our life takes a different turn and we really start our own family! Even more exciting is the fact that in just two weeks we will get to find out if we're having a boy or a girl?? That is the big question ... and either way we will be thrilled just to know!! We have been so busy so we apologize to those of you who are finding out this way... but the one great thing about this blog is that it lets us keep in contact with all of the people we love and care about even when it seems like life is too busy! Well we will keep you updated with doctors appointments, and belly pictures... as soon as I start to show of coarse!

Wickers loves to PLAY

Just a few days ago we ended up getting Wickers a new play-place!

It was the cutest thing when Javis was trying to set it up... Wickers knew that it was for him and Javis couldnt get it built fast enough! I thought it was adorable he kept jumping in it and as soon as Javis finished he was as happy as could be!!

Our trip to Twin Falls

Last friday Javis needed to go to Twin Falls for work... since its a pretty long trip to make in one day I went with him to keep him company! After he got done with his work at the store we decided to go check out the town a little. When you first drive into Twin Falls you go over this huge bridge and below is this beautiful canyon with a lake and a huge park! Since it was a beautiful day we decided to go down and check it out, and Im glad we did! We had a blast and I cant wait tell we go again!

The beautiful water fall : )

This is from the top of the canyon

And this one is from the top of the canyon

You can really tell just how big it is from this picture!!

Saturday Hike

Last Saturday Javis and I went up to Logan for the day. We were going to go up to the lake but instead we found a really nice path that was along a stream the went from campground to campground! There was also a small little falls it was really nice! It was a beautiful day and we really had a blast!! We have had so much fun going out on the weekends and exploring the stuff around us : ) The scenery is truly beautiful!

Update

Well again it has been a while since I last posted. A lot of really neat things have been going on that I'd been meaning to write about so this post might seem a little scattered : )
Everything was a little crazy for a while but things are right back on track and everything is better then ever before! I have been home from my trip to Coeur d' Alene for a while now and have been very busy. The weather is great here and I'm really enjoying getting to go out in the sun. Luckily the drive back wasn't bad because Javis came up for work and we got to drive back together which was really nice!

When I got home Javis had lots of surprises for me! One of which was a new car, while I was gone he traded in his truck... I am so excited I love it so much!! It is a 2007 Mercury Milan Premier... its absolutely gorgeous. We are very fortunate to have such nice things and most of all to get rid of that truck...we loved it but it was nothing but a problem no matter how much money we put into it! But really I am so lucky to have a husband that spoils me rotten!



On the other hand other great things have been happening as well.
*Wickers scabs have cleared up and he is completely healed! We can only hope that it stays that way even though he is off the medication that the vet gave to us.
*And my brother officially joins the Army on May 29th the day before his 17th Birthday! We are all so proud of you Jerry!!

Poor Baby

Wickers loves this toy... He always brings it us to show off
"look what I caught for you!"

And anytime there is a box he just has to test it out!

So for some time we have wanted to take Wickers into the vet, because he has some scabs on the sides of his mouth and around his eyes. I thought that they might be stress induced because he has traveled and been put into a whole new environment with Javis and I. Luckily they don't seem to be bothering him which is a relieve to us.

Last week we took him to the vet and unfortunately it wasn’t something as simple as I would have liked. The vet wanted to biopsy it since she was sure that it was a sign of a weak immune system and that would be the only way to know for sure. But since we don’t have that kind of money right now she gave us some antibiotic and steroids that we have to give him everyday for two weeks. She said that she was sure it would clear up but she didn’t know for how long. He hates his medicine but who can blame him, he's such a little trooper and I am hoping for the best! He's our best friend and we would hate for anything to happen to him or for him to be in any sort of pain.
