Weeks 17: First week away from daddy

With graduation, my parents in town, the Mesa Boys and their girls in town, month end, my trip to Arizona and California...I guess you could say I neglected my child for the first time! (not really but kinda).
   I feel bad for missing an update so i'll catch you up with all the baby happenings of the past two weeks. Liam is moving, not a ton but I can feel him, like a massive butterfly. I can't feel him by pressing on my stomach yet but i can feel him from the inside. He's a mover and he likes to move after lunch and right before bed time (around 10:00pm).
    Week 17 consisted of me pinning it up on Pinterest with ideas for a little boys room. We're going the nautical route and there is so much we can do with it! Too bad I cant spend money (it's a condition). We found out on Tuesday and on Thursday I was off to Arizona! It took me about 5 steps from the car to the airport terminal to start missing Chad, this would prove to be the hardest 2 weeks ever without him. I flew out later in the evening so we left for Flagstaff the next morning. Liam gets car sick just like his mama, he wasn't happy about all the traveling and climate changes so he let me know in a very projectile manner. (puking.all.day.long.). Needless to say, Friday was shot but We went to bed early and in the morning me and William were ready to party! We played games with the family all day and talked about how fun it will be to have another grand and great grandson in the family! We watched hilarious home videos and went on walks. The weather was amazing and the company was the best.
    The next morning we woke up early and played tennis at a local park, Tennis is a fun sport but there is something hilarious about "Guttery tennis", Dani invented "Jungle Ball" and we partied all morning. We hit a few estate sales, met the kids at the park for some family kickball fun and headed home to make some fun T-Shirts for our family pictures. Here are some pics from those first few days, such a blast!

Two goofy peas in a pod, watching these hilarious boys got me so excited for baby William and all the silliness in store for me and my little family!

They tried helping Grandpa Guttery rack the horse shoe area but I think grandpa found them most helpful when stuck in one spot.

Baby Vivian wasn't afraid of getting a little dirty!

Kick Ball is the new family sport!

Our defense was less then aggressive :)

All the grandkids, ready to kick!

Quinn got a little heated!

Kickball became an all-contact sport!

but not everyone took it too seriously

Jamie (aka, the stud) making it look easy

Brennon became a crowd least-favorite when he tagged out Tessa (notice the thumbs down and Jamie booing him and he ran around begging for high fives of approval (Brennon, you stink!)

BOO

The infamous "KennaKick!"

Stratton and his dad, running the bases

Plenty of beautiful cheerleaders (Vonda and Paula definitely should have whipped out their high school cheers!)

...nice Quinn

I don't know whats going on here but I respect it :)

Grandma and Grandpa overseeing the games!

The Guttery Family (minus Chad :( We are still working on getting him photoshopped in )

Taryn got much more comfortable with the camera by day three, and why shouldn't see, she's such a doll!

I don't know whats going on here but I will never forget the amazingly beautiful day and how Tessa was sureit was 20 degrees, she was so cold!

Our Amazing Grandparents!

Such a perfect couple! Love you!

Love this one!

Cutest family ever!

Goofy sisters

Also beautiful sisters! They are just the greatest examples for me and my sisters!

Like mother....

like daughter :)

As we were all cleaning and preparing to leave we couldn't find all the little girls until we realized a bathroom door was locked in the back of the house. we opened the door to find these darling girls all crammed into a small bathroom doing each other hair. It was the sweetest sight to see all these cousins from different families getting along so well and acting like sisters! So cute.

Week 17 was amazing, traveling washard and I was a little more emotional than usual (if that's possible) just being away from Chadders but I think Williams gunna be ok :) No stats this week but just know, babys going great and we're both missing daddy.
