A Surprise trip to Kansas City

Before my sister came out to live in Kansas City with her hubby, Jared and I decided to surprise Tara with me coming out with Jared to his interview at KCUMB.
So she came to the airport to pick him up on Wednesday night and I followed right behind him. It was so exciting!

Me and Jerry after the big interview, he said it went really well!

Thursday we went to Zona Rosa which is a big outdoor mall and Tara tried to capture my pregnant self! She is a fabulous photographer.

Me at 28 weeks!

Friday we woke up and went to Liberty Jail and Independence.
Being in the area and seeing how small of a space these 5 men were in for 4 months in the dead of winter really makes you appreciate their sacrifices.

In front of the Community of Christ Temple in Independence. It was very interesting inside. They had a bunch of artifacts from Joseph and Emma Smith.

It was very cold and windy!

That night we all went to The Plaza in downtown Kansas City. This is a ritzy area of Missouri. Very nice stores!

Sister and I in front of one of the many fountains!

We ate at Jack Stacks BBQ- it was very delicious!

Sister and Seth enjoying their Ribs

This bull became a very funny inside joke!

Saturday morning listening to conference and playing Ticket to Ride..a new favorite game!

We spent Saturday afternoon at The Legends also a very nice shopping area in Kansas.

Tara always has her camera ready to take pictures!

Tara insists that this baby girl will know who her favorite auntie is!

We did lots of cooking/eating goodies. It's a good thing I'm prego so you can't see how much I really did eat!
We had a blast and don't want to come home!
Thanks guys for having us!

Prego Pictures

I finally look pregnant! I swear one morning I woke up and had a belly. I finally have gotten over the morning sickness which is a blessing. She is moving like crazy. I love feeling her move it is the coolest feeling. Both of these pictures are me at 24 weeks.

Summer Adventures

We have been busy the month of August. We went camping with some friends in Monte Cristo. Everyone else had the same idea but we found a little spot. We all had a great time. We also went up to Bear Lake for the Demolitian Derby. I know its white trash but we had a blast! Last Monday my family and I went to the Bees game. They lost but we still had fun! Tara and mom thought it would be funny to wear the same outfits. You can kind of see my little belly in this picture. I'm now 23 weeks and I will post a picture next week of my belly.
Travis and Addie camping, Travis is holding the "boob" is what he called it.
Jared and I camping
Us four camping, we also went with Janica and Nolan but for some reason my picture of them didn't work.
This is what I came home to the night we found out we were having a girl. Jared went out all by himself and got her the cutest outfit. Hopefully we will be able to bring her home in this. I think its adorable.
For family night we went and fed the ducks with Brooke, Carl, and Daxton. The duck was eating the bread off of Jared's knee it was pretty funny.

My cousin Cam and his best friend playing dangerous game between the rounds. We have been very blest to have such a fun filled summer. Trying to get everything in now before the little one comes and our lives change!

It's a....

Today was the best day ever! We are having a GIRL!! I'm so excited I can hardly wait! I'm not so sure how Jared feels about this but she will be wrapped around his finger the second she is here! She said that baby girl looks very healthy and is right on schedule to come December 26th. The technology we have today is so cool. We got to see her body from head to toe! This is me at 19 weeks! I'm starting to finally get a little belly. People don't believe me that i'm pregnant but trust me I am! I'm starting to feel much better. Morning sickness that would last all day is finally getting much better.

Lake Powell

We made it back from a week in Lake Powell with Jared's moms side of the family. There was 55 people, 2 house boats, and we all had lots of fun! Pretty sunsets every night

Crazy tubing

Pretty much every afternoon there was a huge storm. It was so nice cause it would cool down. We would all grab a float and ride the waves. It was so much fun!

We all went on a hike to find the Sand Dunes which we never found, but it was fun!

Jared showing off his huge muscles!

We had a dance party one night. It was a lot of fun! Everyone shaking their groove thing!

We had a lot of fun! I love going and getting to know everyone better. We played lots of games and had tons of fun! Hopefully we will get to go next year!

Graduation Pool Party

For Jared's graduation I threw him a pool party. We had a lot of fun playing in the pool and of course the girls talking all night! Thanks for those who came and supported him. It was a blast! Natalie, me, Janica, Caitlyn, and Addie

Matt, Caitlyn, Addie, and Travis

Family Vacation

The end of June the Behunin family traveled to San Diego for our last get together before things change. Despite my lovely morning sickness we had a BLAST!! The Fam at SeaPort Village

We celebrated Jared's 24th birthday! Man am I so grateful I met him. He is the best huband ever!

We spent lots of time at the pool relaxing

Played lots of tennis

Jared played in the ocean. It was too cold for me!

The beautiful San Diego Temple

SeaWorld was awesome. Seeing all the cute dolphins and whales!

I'm so glad we were able to go. A trip I will always remember. Thanks mom and dad! Now we are off to Lake Powell for the week!
