My little "bun in the oven"!
Yes, Yeah, so excited!!!! We are pregnant again! I am the biggest slacker when it comes to blogging especially now that I feel like crap ALL the time, but last Sunday we told my family that Taylor was going to be a big sister this year! It was funny to see everyone's reactions at different times when they saw Taylor's shirt. It actually even went over my Dad's head!
I go to the doctor tomorrow but we think the due date will be about mid September. Just about a month before Taylor's 2nd Birthday and a week or so before our Anniversary. We do love the fall so I guess subconsciously we plan things to occur in the fall. I like the fact that while I am sick for a few weeks, it's cold anyway outside so I don't have to worry too much about being a hermit, then when the weather warms up and I actually start to love this pregnancy like the last I can enjoy being outside (I can't wait for Spring!), and then in the summer when it's hot I'll be so thankful for our central air!
Last Sunday while everyone took a break from the Superbowl at halftime my family sang Happy Birthday to me a few days early. Friday I turned 25! I guess it feels kinda weird. Does anyone wish they could be 15 again sometimes? It could be nice- but I definitely wouldn't change anything about those days! I just can't believe I am 25 years old already! I do love my life so much! I am so proud to be a wife and a mother to our little family and can't wait to have another baby! Brody keeps saying, "what if you are having twins?"! Um... ya that would be scary!
I have been way excited to tell everyone who reads our blog that we are expecting! I'll be keeping ya posted of course more on the little peanut!

At last, some fun in the snow!
Mom and Taylor have only been out a couple of times to play in the snow. She completely loves to play outside but she's not very good at walking in the snow so it just makes for a lot of work for me- picking her up every other second when she's mad she's face down in the snow. But still it was fun to see her touch the snow and walk around. I took a couple pictures of the little snow bunny!
Then finally on Tuesday this week Brody took me skiing for the first time since Targhee two years ago. I have been dying to get up on the slopes. Although it was deathly cold on Tuesday, at least we saw the sun, had some fresh powder, and had a fabulous time together. Seriously though, it was freeeeezing! I think the temperature in Liberty was -1 F that morning so it wasn't much warmer up at Powder Mountain. I am not just being a baby either, even Brody was cold- and he NEVER gets cold. I wish I had taken some more pictures, but once again, oh well!
4th Generation
I just had to document this picture that was finally taken and wouldn't have been taken if it wasn't for my sis Annie who thought of it. I am so happy that Taylor can know her grandma and grandpa F. Hopefully there will be many years to come that she will get to go out and stay at grandma Janice and grandpa Gary's home!

Over the river and through the woods...
Yes, to grandmothers house we went! (Two weeks ago actually but I am very slow with the updates here)
My mothers parents are the only grandparents Brody and I have left and we cherish every moment we get with them.
Taylor was so cute climbing this chair and Grandma loved singing to her in the kitchen while grandpa fed her fudge! I took the best video of Taylor and Grandma Janice- she was bouncing Tay on her knee and singing some funny danish song! My grandma is so cute! I love her to death and I just love to hear her sing. And Brody and I couldn't get over how sweet and helpful my grandpa is. He kept asking her, "what can I do for ya mom", and of course grandma would say back, "nothing dear you just sit down"! They are just so loving and caring, I love it!
Our stay like always was very memorable, exciting, and somewhat relaxing- but more AFTER Taylor's bedtime! Ya, they have an old wood burning stone so I was constantly holding my breath afraid that Taylor would fall and touch it. Then there are of course all the knick knacks Grandma Janice has around- and everything is breakable- so I followed behind her saying "no, no Tay" pretty much all day! It still was so fun just to be out there though to watch football, eat lots of yummy food, visit, laugh, and SEE Tom Hanks! Yeah, I got to see a celebrity- and in Snowville, UT of all places! (Think he was heading back from Sun Valley, ID) It was the day we headed out there. Brody needed to feed his addiction- Coke- so we stopped at Flying J. As we pulled in I almost knew it was him walking out to his Lexus SUV with a drink in his hand. Brody heads into the convenience store and I watch the SUV drive over to get gas. What an IDIOT I am- Why did I not take a picture while I was just sitting there? But I kept thinking, "I wonder if that is really him...". Then Brody comes out with a smile on his face just as Tom Hanks is done filling up. Oh, I was so mad! I wish I could have said something to him. Well anyway, that's my story of seeing a famous actor in Snowville.
The other exciting time spent up to the Frandsen's was the Sugar Bowl! Was that not an awesome game! It is always more fun for me to watch football at my grandpa's house too! And I don't care too much about football, but that was an entertaining game!
I miss Grandma and Grandpa right now. They don't live too far away but I wish we would see them more often. Tomorrow grandpa is going down to SLC for a post surgery appointment on his glaucoma. Poor guy is having so much pain lately and has been worried he could loose sight in the one eye they did surgery on. He and grandma are in my prayers. We are so thankful for them in our lives. They are the most kind and selfless people we know.
Thank Heaven for Grandparents!!!

Christmas Pictures!
I have been lazy the last couple of weeks not wanting to blog at all, even though I have had so much to blog about. The Holidays were wonderful! We so enjoyed seeing lots of family and lots of SNOW!!! (Brody got us ski passes for Christmas and I cannot wait to go!) So here is just a few fun pictures of Christmas Day.
Christmas morning at my mom's house for Breakfast! Yum- breakfast casseroles and Nini Blintzes! We got to talk to my little brother Wade on his mission too. That was so awesome. All of us girls were crying and of course my mom. He is such a cutie. I miss him but I am so proud of where he is and what he is doing right now.
Taylor was loving and kissing her new baby doll with the stroller! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Baird!
My silly obsessive husband wearing his new gun holster
The only planned picture all day- and the only really good one too. We did not take any pictures at our house opening presents with Taylor. We just took video. I swear, lately it is extremely difficult for me to get any good pictures!
Then the day after Christmas we had a party with my mom's side of the family. It was at our church in Brigham so we were the only ones that did not have to brave it on those snow packed roads. So glad everyone made it there and back home safely!
We made the Liljenquist granddaughters pose for another picture in their matching outfits.
Me and my best cuz Kellen
8 out of the 12 great-grand kids on the Frandsen family side.
I love my sweet Taylor Jean! She is such a precious girl. The poor girl is just getting over a nasty cold she has had for over two weeks. I felt bad she was sick for Christmas. We still had so much fun with her though. Brody and I are so blessed to have such a good little girl.

Merry Christmas!
I have been so bad at taking pictures lately. I don't know what my deal is! But I am going to make sure we get lots of fun video and pictures over Christmas this week. I am so excited to see lots of family and to party! I love Christmas time! Brody doesn't have to go back to work after tonight until January 5th! I hope that you all have a relaxing and safe holiday with family and friends. I am anxious to see how bad this storm on Christmas Day will be. Brody and I are going to be traveling to Kaysville (of course) so hopefully we don't have to spend half the day in traffic on slick roads. It is also my wish that everyone feels the true meaning of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ. It is amazing to see all the good around during this time! Merry Christmas to you and drive SAFELY out there!!!
Love, Ash
