T & M

It's been a busy busy summer and it's gone by so fast! Spending time with family and getting ready for the baby has taken up all our extra time and we wouldn't have it any other way! I have been taking "baby bump" pics but I've been trying to decided to put them up on the blog or not. I'll put one or two up but there's no telling whether it will continue through the whole pregnancy. :)

Anyway, as you already know... Tyler and I are completely obsessed with our nieces and nephews!!  Our nephew Michael is growing up so fast and we got to watch him a day this summer so Tyler had the idea to take him to a park that he use to play at a lot when he was little. We had a Happy Meal, fed the ducks, played on the playground and had fun just listening to Michael talk. He's so smart and has the funniest things to say. He's mister personality and we love it! and he loves his Uncle Tyler!








Our little Niece, Alyse turned 1 in June!!! She's growing up so fast too! Her cake was darling and she didn't hesitate to dig in. She's learning lots of new words and has the most loving personality I've ever seen a little girl have.







Michael also had a birthday in June!!! He turned 3! We had a BBQ at the park. Played some ball and had cotton candy, yummy homemade ice cream, played with glow sticks and lit off fireworks! It was a blast!









Tyler has been in the Studio finishing up the album for his new music project Common Ground. The tracks are sounding awesome! Here's a picture of Tyler and Cliff working away in the studio. Cliff is so talented and we're really excited to have the opportunity to work with him again. Ryan is getting everything ready for the online distribution.  All the pieces are coming together so well to make this work. We really couldn't ask for more awesome people to work with! Everything is coming together really well and a lot of hours are being put in. We couldn't be more excited about our future in music! and we've been so blessed with such supportive family and friends! The album is expected to be released sometime in Sept or Oct! We'll keep you updated!






We went to a lot more family things this summer so I'll try to touch on them all!
My Grandma Otten passed away the end of June. It was a memorible experience for everyone in the family. It was neat to be able to look back on such an amazing women's life and be together as a family.  She was one of the strongest women I knew and she will be very very missed. Love you Grandma!


We also went to the Esplin Family Reunion! We spent time in Delta and just enjoyed each others company. It was low maintenance and a good break. We went to the elk ranch, hiked up to a water fall, spent a lot of time in the mountains, played games, ate lots of yummy food and had a bonfire and roasted mallows and smores and did much more! It was a blast!





We couldn't wait till I was 20 weeks to find out what the gender of our baby was so we went in at 16 weeks and got an ultrasound and we're gonna have a sweet baby
GIRL!!!!!! 
Here's proof!!

We also had a new addition to the Beardall family arrive earlier this month! Meet mister Reed. Our new Nephew!!! This is Tyler's sister (Suzette's) new little boy. This is Pat and Suzette's 4th child. They live in Georgia so they are so so missed! Mont and Rachelle got to go out and see them recently to see their new grandson. They had so much fun! and guess what!? When they got back it was like an early Christmas for Tyler and I because Suzette sent Mont and Rachelle home with all her baby girl clothes she used with Shelby!! It was so fun to go through and look at all of them. I can't wait to dress our baby in them!

Isn't he a handsome little man!? I think YES!
Congrats Pat and Suzette!!! We miss you!!




Okay, so if you lasted this long I figure you asked for it so here it is... 
My awesome pregnant-ness!! I'm so excited to be a mommy!!

                                                                        (6 weeks)




                                                                  (10 weeks)





                                                   (20 weeks) .. oh how the bump has arrived

The "morning sickness" (more like "all day sickness") has made its self quite comfortably in my every day, all day schedule and I think its here for good. But.. but... it will be worth
every dry heave,
every up-chuck,
every waking up in the middle of the night with a pukey feeling.
Yes, yes, it will be worth it! I've learned a big part of it is MIND OVER MATTER.. and the other part is something that will just be there.
I have to remind myself..
don't think of breathing in dust..
don't think of dried ketchup..
don't think of mold ..
and don't think of hair floating in the air..
don't think of the many times of day you have to look inside old people's dentures and clean out moldy food....
and don't think of how a dirty bathroom may smell.
As clean as i get my bathroom... I can still just think of how a dirty bathroom WOULD smell while i'm in there and immediately start heaving..
awesome!!!
that's why I do my make-up in the bedroom. :) 

Come to think of it.. it's already SO worth it because every time I feel her move it puts a big smile on my face. I've been so lucky with being able to feel her so soon. I felt her for the 1st time at 10 weeks!! and then again @12 weeks and from 14 weeks on I've felt her every night and now I feel her throughout the day and night!

She's my little "turdlet" and I love her!!


Tyler and I have been busy getting projects done for the baby.
Yay for trying to be crafty and creative!!
That will be my next blog post!
Until then peeps.....Chow! :)
