::: BORROWMAN FAMILY REUNION :::

This last weekend we had our annual Borrowman reunion.

we headed up the Mt to our property on Thursday and stayed through Saturday.

Our weekend was filled with riding the 4 wheelers and Just enjoying each others company!

The food was great, the activities were fun, and the company was even better :)

Olivia loved staying in her tent, using her very own flashlight, and playing her heart out with cousins.

:::22 WEEKS:::

22 weeks and feeling much better :) 

Olivia is loving the idea of baby Owen. 

She kisses my tummy quite frequently and tells him she loves him. 

Melts my heart everytime :)

I feel like I have most of my energy back.... Goodbye dirty house!  I'm in the easy trimester and enjoying  every minute of it. 

So I'm just a going to sit back and enjoy the next couple of months! 

::: ITS A..... :::

This week we were able to FINALLY go to the Dr. and find out the gender of our little baby.

We are so excited to announce that we are having a little

  BOY!

 To say that we were shocked was an understatement!

I had convinced myself that a little sister would be coming for Olivia and when she announced that it was not the case I was completely blown away!

Olivia kept telling the ultra sound tech 

" No, its a girl, i'm having a sister"

It was VERY clear that he is a little boy:)

I could not sleep last night wondering what in the world am I gonna do with a little boy?!

Owen Joshua Meacham

is the name we have picked out so far.

Who knows if we will change it, but for now.... thats the name we are planning on :)

we went shopping and picked out a few little boy outfits after the ultra sound....

Boy clothes are so cute!

I'm the littlest bit sad to have to pack up all the baby girl bows and blankets that I kept out just in case....

but, they will be replaced by darling little boy things that I am so excited for!

I am excited to see if we make cookie cutter babies, or if he is going to look just like Olivia!!!

I still can't believe i'm typing he ;p

::: UTAH HOGEL ZOO :::

We stayed at Kyle and Mariah's house Friday night and then got up and went to the Zoo with them and Josh's parents.

All week long this is what Livi was excited for.

Our tatation "vacation" would not have been complete until we saw the elephants.

We asked her if she was excited to see the Bears to.

"No Mom, the bears don't like me"

Um.... okay?!

 She loved when Dad would put her up on his shoulder and she could see over everyone and look at the animals :)

 Notice there are no children wanting to touch the water ball.... ;)

 She would get as close as she possibly could to the animals.

 Olivia quickly found she had a new best friend in little Sam. They played so good the whole time we were with them. She loved playing dolls with her and Jaylyn. They loved the things she loved and that made her love them!

 We were lucky enough to see Tyson, Lori, My dad and the kids at the zoo.

How could her day possibly get any better?

Throw Ava into the mix!!!

After a full day at the zoo we headed back to the Mathew's for some fun in the sprinklers and and fun relaxing night playing with cousins and visiting with family.

We stayed for church then headed home.

It was so nice to get away and just spend some time with my family and not worry about what needed to be done or who needed help doing something.

I felt pretty good most of the trip and I'm sure the little one in my tummy enjoyed family time as well ;)

::: LIVING PLANET AQUARIUM :::

This last weekend we decided to take a quick little trip as a family.

Even though it was only a couple days, we enjoyed every second of our time :)

The first day we woke up pretty early and headed up north.

Our first stop was for breakfast in provo at Krispy Kreme.

Olivia LOVES to watch the donuts being made.

She also loves to eat them :)

After breakfast we took Olivia shopping in the Disney store to pick out a toy.

Surprise! She picked out a little set of Mickey and Minnie Mouse toys.

Then it was off to Ikea!!!

Josh and I love that store way more than we should.

We picked out some fun things for the move of Olivia's room and for the room she is in to become the nursery yet again!

I had heard of the aquarium from lots of different friends and it looked like something Olivia would enjoy.

We had a BLAST there!

Josh loved it, I loved it, and Olivia thought it was so much fun!

We stayed for about 3 hours and enjoyed seeing all the different kinds of fish and sea animals.

I would go back there in a heart beat.

This one is kinda dark, but there is a spot where you walk through a glass tunnel and watch all the sharks and big stingrays float right past you and over your head!

They also have a stingray petting pond and I'm so sad I didn't get a picture of Olivia petting them :( Mom fell I guess. They are super nasty to touch but it was still pretty cool!
