So for those that don't know yet, the reason I have not been on here in forever is because we are pregnant! Yay! We are very excited but I have been so, so, so, so, SO sick the only thing I have been able to do all summer is lay in bed and watch movies and throw up. I'm slowly feeling better (knock on wood) whenever I say that I swear I get really sick again, but hopefully I will be back to normal soon. I don't think I was ever warned how terrible pregnancy sickness is, I was telling Pat I have a new super power which is to smell everything that smells TERRIBLE in a 1 mile radius. But I am almost 14 weeks so any day I should be better right??
Like I said I havn't been able to do very much this summer, however, I was able to make it to our annual family reunion in Michigan. My family does this every year since before I was born and normally we stay with my grandparents but this year we rented cabins on the lake. It was so fun, even though I couldn't participate as much as I would have liked to.
My mom just coming in from a swim in the lake
My Dad trying to throw Elijah in the water with his clothes on. This happened quite often to everyone, by everyone. It was fun for me to watch because no one threw me in muah ha ha.
Grandma and Grandpas new condo. Hannah and Chris were there at the begining of the week but couldn't stay the whole time
Paddle boards are the best!
One day my parents rented a boat that fits almost everyone and we drove across the lake and through this river that connected to another lake with this amazing sand bar
Cummorah feeding the swans on the river. I used to do this when I was her age. I loved it!
The sand bar was HUGE and in some parts you could be standing in the middle of the lake and only have the water at your ankles. It was nice because the water was so warm.
Everyone played water football
Mandi got a black eye
Si jumping off the dock
The cabin place had a row boat and this boat this that you use your feet to paddle with
Even my grandpa came out to enjoy the sun
My parents rented a boat one day so everyone could go wakeboarding, tubing and skiing. I forgot my camera when everyone was out there so I didn't get any pictures :(
Every night we had a fire and usually barbequed something
In Michigan there are these Sand Dunes that we go to every year its like a 400 foot drop down to lake Michigan and when you run down, its so steep, if you jump you fly through the air, its so fun! AND im happy to say that everyone except for Miriah, who had to stay with cougar, made it down and back up!
Hannah and the boys golfing
Ok this is a video of my little niece Cummorah. She is singing The Little Mermaid. She only knew one line though so it was hilarious because she just sang it over and over and over again ha ha! If you can't understand her she is saying, "thing-a-ma-bobs? I got twenty, but who cares, no big deal, I want more..."
On Saturday a bunch of girls from the ward all got together and went to China town!! I was so excited not only to be able to get up and go somewhere but because of all the cities I have been to, this is the first time I have been to China town. One of the girls used to be in our ward and moved closer to downtown, but she served her mission in China and works in China town. SO, she was our guide for the night. It was very fun!
I'm not quite sure why I look so angry in the picture above, maybe subconsciously I knew how sick I was about to get or something. The picture above was taken when I was like 7 weeks and the one below I am 15 weeks. I can tell the my stomach has grown quite a lot in the past couple months, but I think most people that don't look at my stomach each day for progress can't tell. So he is the proof. I can not wait to be 40 weeks and have this little one here already! 
So this week Pat and I went to my first OB appointment! I am so lucky that I finally found someone that I like! It was the most amazing sound when we heard the babies heart beat for the first time, I guess it really hit me that our little baby is actually in there! I felt the baby (I swear) move a couple weeks ago and yesterday I tried to take a nap after church and totally felt it again!! It was so crazy! It seems to move only when I want to sleep!
