Let's go Angels!

On Tuesday night Buddy and I got tickets to the Angels game. We were hoping to bring them luck, but as you know they didn't do so well. Let's hope they can pull it out on Thursday and have a big come back!

A weekend in Arizona...

Last weekend we took a trip to Arizona to visit my brother for family weekend at ASU. We also got to visit Amanda and Ross. They were so sweet to open their guest room to us and give us a place to stay. We had a very fun time catching up with Amanda, and of course seeing my brother. I really enjoyed the little old town feeling that surrounds ASU, and they even beat Washington at the football game!!! Which USC was not able to do. Sorry Amanda, I had to say it for Buddy :) Here are some pics from the game and touring the campus. We miss you Kevin, Amanda, & Ross! Can't wait to see you this weekend too!

4 Months and Growing!

We are now 4 months and counting with our growing little baby Klovstad. So far everything is going pretty well and right on schedule. I am getting used to not feeling 100% like my regular self and know that it will all be more than worth it when we have this beautiful little baby in our arms! Each day I am just amazed as I try to understand what an amazing miracle having a baby truly is. We love our little baby Klovstad and ask you to help us pray for a healthy pregnancy and birth!

Hailey and Eric's Wedding

Last night Buddy and I went to a beautiful wedding! Eric and Hailey Dole are two of our friends from high school and we are so happy for them! They are a very fun couple to spend time with and we were so happy to be a part of their special day! We also enjoyed the time we spent with some of our other friends that we just don't see enough now that we're all "grown up." Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Dole!!! Here are some fun pics from the night :)

365 Days of Marriage! Woo Hoo!

Last weekend Buddy and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary! We spent a lot of time thinking about some of our favorite times together and how blessed we have been throughout this past year. We are so happy to have one another!!!

Buddy started the weekend by cleaning out our garage. I thought the reason was so that as my tummy continues to grow... I will be able to get out of my car more easily. But, I quickly figured out the next day that it was for our new beach cruisers! We talked about getting them awhile ago, and thought they would be something fun to ride down to the Orange Circle with now and even after the baby is born. However, we hadn't talked about it in months so I kind of thought we would just get them another time. So I was totally surprised, and LOVED the pretty pink one with a basket that he picked out for me :)

That night Buddy made reservations at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and it was yummy!!! While we were at dinner I gave Buddy my gift. I found out that the theme for the one year wedding anniversary is either paper or something that goes with time. So I went with the paper idea (thanks to the Mangiafico's) and got Buddy two tickets to the Redskin's/Charger game on January 3rd in San Diego. Those of you who know Buddy know that he is a HUGE Redskin's fan. So he was very excited too!

On Sunday morning (our actual anniversary) Buddy had a championship baseball game with his Men's League Team. They won and Buddy hit a homerun! Yay! He said he did it for me :) We followed up the game with a small dinner and of course our one year anniversary cake. I got Buddy a cheesecake because that was what he really wanted at our wedding :)

Fun Weekend in Laughlin!

This past weekend Buddy and I went to Laughlin with a couple that has become good friends of ours. Their names are Jeff and Amy. We met at church and truly enjoy spending time with them! Jeff's uncle has a vacation house in Laughlin so we decided to hitch up the boat and spend the weekend there. On Friday, the water was so beautiful! Perfectly smooth and lots of time for relaxing. On Saturday, the wind picked up a little and it got a little choppy, but we still had a great time! We left early Sunday morning in order to make it back in time for Buddy to pitch at his Men's Baseball League finals. They won so they will play again this Sunday, on our anniversary :). 

After Buddy's game we met his parents and sister Madison with her fiance Jason for dinner to spend some quality time with his Dad before he left to go to Kosovo for 2 weeks. Bill is currently building a water park there and has been splitting his time between here and there for the past 5 months. It's been a great opportunity, but we are definitely keeping him in our prayers with all his traveling and living in  country where nobody speaks his language...

Growing baby and belly!!!

Hi everyone!

We went for our first trimester screen ultrasound today. The ultrasound tech said everything looks normal and right on schedule! I don't think I've ever felt so good to be referred to as normal! That's all I've been praying for as the days got closer to this screen and will continue to be praying for throughout this pregnancy! A normal, healthy little baby! Words can not describe the feelings I had seeing the growing little peanut on that screen today. At one point I looked at Buddy and he was just smiling. Seeing him smile at our little baby made me realize that this truly is the beginning of a life changing amazing experience! A friend called me after our appointment and said, "God is good." That truly sums it all up! 

Here are some recent pics of my growing belly and our growing little Klovstad!

The baby turned toward us and it looked like it was waving :)
This is a profile shot. You can kind of see the outline of the cute little nose and lips.
