So it has been ages since I have blogged, so hopefully I can sum up what's happened with as few pictures as possible, but it's been a busy few months so keep scrolling... there's most likely more.
BIG news - Baby #2 is over halfway here.
We are due February 28, 2013, which means we are 21 weeks along.
Here I am at 16 weeks:
Here I was at 16 weeks with Julie... It was amazing to see
how much sooner I "popped" this time:
And here I am at 20 weeks:
LOVE this week cuz we got to see our little GIRL :) Yep. Julie is gettting a younger sister. We are all super excited for another girl to join our family. It still amazes me how much they can see and know from the ultrasound. Here are some of my favorite pictures:
Baby Girl's profile, with hand by her face. During Julie's ultrasound she was moving so much that they couldn't get a good profile picture. So we were really excited that this little girl wasn't moving quite so much.

3D pic #2... Look at that pointed chin! :) Can definitely tell already that she's related!
Brigham City Temple Walk-Though
We loved being able to take Julie through the new Brigham City Temple. One of her favorite places to go in Logan is to the Temple, so she loved being able to go inside this one. She especially loved all the chandeliers, and also the fountain outside the front of the temple. Here are some shots we got before leaving
Birthdays
I turned the ripe old age of 24 (which is exciting to our family because it means you use a full box of candles) and 3 days later Julie turned 2. I can't believe Julie is so big! She's been looking like a 2-year-old for several months now, but it is crazy that she is officially a toddler. SO exciting for her. We had pretty low-key birthdays, but did celebrate with cake and ice cream. Arek made my cake
and I made Julie's. 
Julie's first big owie
This week Julie had the misfortune to pinch her big toe under our full 5-gallon bucket of flour (about 35-40 pounds worth of flour). Here is her toe later that evening. It looks much worse now, but I will spare you those yucky photos. Sadly for Julie, the nail is coming off and is quite painful for her. She is one tough girl, though, because anytime we ask her about it she says, "I'm fine".
North Logan Pumpkin Walk
We LOVE the pumpkin walk. One of the main reasons is because it's free and family-friendly. Julie loved it this year. The theme was "Let the Games Begin". Here are some of our favorite of the exhibits:
Julie having a blast running along the path, looking at the pumpkins and displays
AWESOME game: Utah State vs. U of U. We were there. We didn't think Julie would be ok the enitre game (especially since we had to be there 2 hours early to get seats) but with some walking breaks and snow-cone bribes, she did amazing.
Clue. LOVE it :)
The list of the "Clue" suspects
These were either bee pumpkins or ant pumpkins... either way, Julie loved them
Wizard chess
Hunger games #1 - The Reaping
Hunger Games #2 - Tributes of District 12
Hunger Games #3 - Shooting the apple
Hunger Games #4 - Victors
And at the end they have these super fun cardboard cut-outs. Julie really got into them this year. There are a LOT
Ariel
Snow White
Cinderella
Mr. Incredible - LOVE the face
The Genie
Jesse and Buzz (aka Julie and Dad)
Pooh Bear
By the last one she thought it was cooler to stand ABOVE the mickey instead of looking out of his face
Later that evening we went to the USU vs. Arizona State hockey game. It was so much fun. Julie loved cheering. Her new favorite expression is "Go Aggies!" which she exclaimed anytime people started clapping and cheering. Cutest thing ever! Hopefully we can take her to another game or two this season
