Florida, Part 2

On our Floridian adventure we went to Universal Studios. Aimee was fascinated, yet terrified by all the characters in the park. But she did love Fievel's playland. We could have stayed there all day if it were up to her. I have a funny video of her at that part of the park that I need to upload.

Dora scared Aimee to death up close. Aimee preferred all the characters from a distance.

Donkey was also terrifying. And we thought she'd be so thrilled too! She LOVES Shrek right now (seriously, she wants to watch it daily).

Aimee was especially scared of the Simpsons.

Finally, Aimee's happy place, at Fievel's playland.

By far, her favorite part of the whole day!

Florida, Part 1

Sorry, to my dad especially, for taking so long to get these uploaded! And for those of you who follow, but didn't know, my dad is on the tail end of a year-long tour in Iraq. So, he especially likes it when I update my blog.

Aimee and I got to go out and visit my mom and sister in Florida earlier this month. As always, it's loads of fun. We had an adventure getting out there (flight canceled, rerouted to new airport, bag sent to old airport, etc...) but we made it! It was a bit on the chilly side, as far as Florida is concerned - so no beach this trip. But it was still warmer than Utah! Here are some pictures from the zoo. AND of Aimee pestering Abby (the dog). She is a huge fan of dogs these days. She constantly wanted to hug her, sit on her, and feed her. I think Abby tolerated Aimee so well because she got about half of every meal Aimee ate.

Feeding the ducks! (Probably her favorite thing at the zoo - she threw a royal fit when we left)

Cheesy smile (not you mom)

Giant turtle thing

Pals (I love the slight look of annoyance on Abby's face)

You will be my friend!

Some fun news first...

I had my ultrasound today - and if you haven't heard yet, it's a BOY!

We are all really excited. Well, maybe not Aimee so much. But the rest of us - yes, we are really excited! I don't know what it was with this pregnancy, maybe the fact that we will have to move right around the due date is constantly looming over my head. Or maybe because I've done this pregnancy thing before - I just didn't feel super attached to the baby. But something clicked today. Maybe it's knowing the gender (and seeing him yawn during the ultrasound!), it just kind of made it all real for me. I stopped by old navy this afternoon and looked at some newborn sized boy onesies too. It was then I got really excited to hold my little boy!

In other news - I have lots to upload from my recent Florida trip. Unfortunately NO video will play on my mac right now- I will try to get the pictures up soon!
