busy weekend

Not only did my sister get baptized last weekend, our nephew celebrated his one year birthday, our good friends Lindsey and Orlando came to visit and Kathrono Suprano visited with her adorable kids. It was a crazy, fun filled weekend. While they were here I realized that our house is not ready for toddlers. Luckily we have a little time before we have to start buying covers for the outlets and expand our dishware to something other then glass or ceramic, or I have a feeling we wouldn't get everything done in three months.  

 Isn't she so cute. She helped me make the noodles for chicken noodle soup and the most important noodle of all... Mr. Petey. Growing up we always made a little noodle man and one lucky person in the family would get them in their bowl of soup. She had a lot of fun. Can you believe how much she has grown up? Check out the old post from when we babysat her over night.

mari gets baptized

 My littlest sister Mariana got baptized last weekend and became a member of the LDS church. It was so cute to see her so happy and beaming. As soon as she came out of the water she let out a little giggle it was priceless. Having babies in my belly really makes me see everything so differently. I hope we can raise our kids to love the gospel and want to be baptized.  Luckily they have more then one example to follow. Mari can't wait to be an Aunt the other day she said  "I'm so glad I get to be an Aunt when I'm young" :) Only three more months!! I want the time to go by faster, but at the same time I'm so not ready for them to be here yet. 

nursery ideas

Just found these on etsy and decided I have to have one. We are pretty sure the babies names will start with J and A, but I might have to change them ;) just so I can get the L.  The middle name is going to probably start with an L does that work?

moments that matter most

"We would do well to slow down a little, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most"

I love this video! It make me so excited to become a mom. I hope I can remember this everyday. 

knudsen family reunion

My blog has been lacking majorly lately, mostly because my motivation level for writing and uploading pictures has drastically decreased and pinning always seems so much more appealing when I'm sitting on the computer. 

So here is me having a little motivation...

Last weekend we had a family reunion on Greg's moms side of the family. It was a perfect little trip...besides the million bug bites I got. We were able to get the camping feeling, but me and babies got to sleep on our comfy air mattress. I love my family and am so glad I married into such an awesome one.

christmas music

Over the weekend I was folding laundry and listening to my ipod on shuffle and a Christmas song came on, normally I would skip it cause even though I put my Christmas tree up last year in the beginning of November I don't start listening to Christmas music in July. Well I listened to it because all I could think of was how we will be holding babies like these during Christmas and instead of two stockings there will be four stockings hanging on our mantel. I can't wait!!

july 4th

Happy belated 4th of July!  I wish it wasn't over already. Although the fact that we are one week closer to meeting our babies is something to smile about. Over the weekend we celebrated The Chad's birthday! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chaddy!! We love you. Glad Cortney picked you cause you're an awesome brother in law.
We had a barbecue, played games, went to Stadium Fire...

It was a great show, I always get teary eyed. I'm so thankful for all the amazing people that are out there serving our country especially my college roomies hubby. I haven't had many of my family serve overseas and it really brought everything home to me seeing the sacrifices she and her hubby are making to protect all of us. I feel so blessed to be living in America! 

Little Liam came with us to the stadium,  it was so cute watching him during the show he was completely entranced by everything. Maybe we will bring our babies next year :) 

On Monday we enjoyed the fireworks in our front yard with our neighbors. I love the fourth I think besides Christmas it is one of my favorite holidays. Hope you all enjoyed yours!

lehi is a great city

We love living in Lehi! There are so many awesome activities constantly going on and to top it off we couldn't have picked a better ward. We have truly been blessed to find such a great place to start our family. Last Saturday we went to the Lehi parade with our neighbors Meghan and Dan and their adorable baby boy Adam. He is getting so big. He isn't even mine and I'm thinking "slow down!!!" Instead of watching most of  the parade :) I took pictures of Adam and caught up with the girls. It was a great way to start of the 4th of July festivities. 

Don't you just love his hair and big blue eyes??? 

i love sisters.

My little sister came for her yearly summer visit! We had so much fun! I think we are going to have to make it more then just a once a year visit cause I don't get to spend enough time with that girl. I can't believe she is going to be a senior next year, where does the time go. The week consisted of shopping. catching up on reading by the pool. hiking the Y. 

drive in movie theater complete with air mattress and a huge grocery bag full of candy. senior pictures and maternity pictures in the field. 

miniature golfing.

ice cream cones. Grandma tacos. Lauren's delicious salsa. beignets. 

Maybe I can convince her to come out to Utah for school and live with us :).

Love you bub!!! Wish you were closer. 

baby boy and girl

Here are some of the photos from our ultrasound a couple weeks ago. This one is my favorite.....

You can see both of them here. Girl is on top, you can see her spine. She is facing down with her feet and arms tucked in. Little boy is on the bottom right. What you are seeing is his profile and big belly.
