So our 10th wedding anniversary is coming up in December and we talked about going on a longer cruise. We went on a 3 day 2 night cruise about 4 years ago and have wanted to go again ever since. But since we found out that the baby would be born around August we figured that we wouldn’t be going anywhere with a newborn. So in comes the Hot Tub. Now this is something that we have talked about even longer than the cruise. We always said we would get one in our last house, and never did. When we built our new house we added extra cement, wired for it, and had it all prepped. Well we finally made the plunge, literally. We got it from Clear Springs Spas in Orem. We have had it just over 3 weeks now and I think that I have only not been in it 3 nights. I love it! We keep it at about 96-97 degrees so that Beka was still able to get in and enjoy it as well. With the summer nights being fairly warm it has been really nice. Just warm enough, but not too hot for Beka.

We went to Vegas at the end of April with my parents. We just went down to relax and mess around. We were able to drive out to Henderson to see my grandparents grave. We also took Tyler to the M&M factory and huge arcade.

So somehow when we were in Texas Beka was talked into going to sing Karaoke with Becca (Randy’s wife). Those who know Beka know that this is quite a stretch for her. Of course after she went and did it, she liked it. Getting her to do new things is always the challenge. :)

This is another old post of when we were in Dallas. We went to the Dallas Zoo one of the days were were there. It reminded me of Hogle Zoo a bit. Although it was really nice because I think we were 8 of about 30 people in the whole Zoo. We went on like a Wednesday and it was “cold” for Texas. I think it was 60 that day. Their definition of cold is so very different than ours. Going to the Zoo reminded me of how old I’m getting though. I think we were there like 2 or 3 hours and I felt like I had just walked a marathon.

We went to our 12 week Dr. visit today. This is the visit where we get to hear the heartbeat to make sure all of this sickness is worth it. There was a shocking development when we got there, the Dr. was behind… So after a 45 min wait we finally got into the room. The Dr. came in and he got right down to hearing the hearbeat. Problem was, he couldn’t find it. Now we are no professionals at this by any means, but this made us a little nervous. He didn’t seem too nervous, but he wanted to not let us leave all freaked out, so he told us he wanted to do an ultra sound. Of course theirs was broken so we had to walk over to the office next door to use their machine. After informing us the he hadn’t used the ultra sound machine in about 10 years, the Dr. put the gel on her tummy and the baby appeared on the screen. He said that the baby looked good and the hearbeat was thumping away. He was able to capture a picture of the baby’s face and printed it out for us. He handed it to me and said, “Here is the picture of your alien baby”. I tried to get him to say it was a girl, but he wouldn’t. 8 more weeks to find out.

The time has finally arrived, we are pregnant again. After almost 3 years, another little baby Gibbons is on the way.  Come on girl!  Tyler is already jealous and doesn’t want mommy to have a baby in her tummy.  He wants his mommy all to himself.  Beka is already starting to feel the lovely effects of pregnancy.  The morning/night sickness started this week, she has been munching up a storm, and is getting about twice as much sleep as me.  Not fair…  We are super stoked and can’t wait to see our little baby in just a few short months!

While I was working this weekend, Beka and Tyler got Christmas all set up in the house. They got the tree up and all decorated. Made it start to feel like home. Tyler is holding the new ornament for this year. A Y football…Shocking! The boy loves his Cougars and loves his football.

We went to the Jazz game on the day before Thanksgiving. This was Tyler’s first Jazz game. I got him a jersey last year, but I couldn’t get him to wear it. But he loves it now. We went with my dad and Trent and his son Garrett. Tyler ate all of grandpa’s popcorn. The boy can put down popcorn like nobodys business. Tyler also couldn’t help but beat me with his noise sticks. He can’t wait to go to the next game.

Well we got all moved over the weekend.  We got keys at 3:30pm at our final walk through and then we started moving the apt stuff on Thursday night.  My dad, Mykl, Leandro, and Nick all came over and helped us clear out the apt.  We were able to get all but a couple things moved over to the house that night. 

Friday we both took off and spent the day unpacking and having things delivered.  We got the Washer and Dryer, entertainment center, and bedroom set all delivered and set up.  Mykl and I re-wired the mechanical room and installed the surround sound speakers.  We got the DirecTV and Qwest internet all set up as well.  Jechelle, our realtor came over and brought us lunch and then stayed to help Beka unpack.  We got almost everything unpacked and put in place before bringing in the storage unit stuff.

Saturday we met at the storage unit to complete the move.  Mykl, Trent, Dave, Dan, Jim, James, Leandro, Nick, Ray, Tommy, and Angela all showed up and we loaded up the truck in about an hour.  Drove it over to the house and had it unloaded in about 30 minutes.  We started putting together a few things and putting more stuff away.  I bought some storage racks and assembled them in the crawl space, and then moved a bunch of the baby clothes and boxes down to the racks.

Thank you to everyone that helped us out this weekend and throughout our several moves, we greatly appreciate it!  I will get some new pictures posted tonight of the final product with us all moved in.

Here is a Halloween pic from my work party.  Me as a Pimp, Tyler as Spiderman, and Beka as a 50’s chick!  We all got into the spirit this year.
