Hair products

I had my hair cut yesterday and my stylist likes to thin-out my hair. It might sound strange, but I really like it because my hair is more manageable and dries more quickly. The only downfall is that it leaves my hair with fly-aways when it's straightened. Does anyone have a favorite hair product to smooth out straight hair after it's dried?

I just added the baby ticker widget on the right. 192 days remaining? Can I really wait that long? I am so anxious to see our little one!

Snowboarding tricks

We just returned from a fantastic vacation to Disneyland with the Brems family. I didn't get to run in the half marathon that I registered for, but that's okay, because I am nurturing baby right now. It was really fun to see the race from the other side. After seeing the pouring rain and howling wind on race day, I didn't feel too bad about not running. The guys did great! Disneyland was a blast. Most of you have probably already read about it on Dani's and Ashley's blogs, but they didn't write about my favorite ride. . . the 12 passenger van! My dad rented a huge van to drive us from the airport and to Disneyland. It was fun because we could all fit in the same vehicle. It was quite an adventure. I was so proud to see Gib ride all of the scary rides. And I don't just mean Snow White's Scary Adventure, he went on the Tower of Terror and everything! He really loved Disneyland and California Adventure. I also ate the yummiest corndog! I love the chocolate covered bananas and metoeric meatballs from Tomorrowland. Thanks, Mom and Dad, it was a wonderful vacation!

The baby is doing well. We had an ultrasound last week and my doctor said we have a very active baby. It was moving all over the place like a jumping lima bean with it's little arms and legs swinging everywhere. I used to call the baby peanut but have started calling it lima bean instead. Gib says our baby will be a runner because it spent it's first 6 weeks training for a half marathon with Mom!

Today we drove out to Tooele to visit the Gilberts. We went into the hills to see Spencer and his friend, Michael Buck, snowboard. They built a little jump and installed some rails so we could see some tricks. I loved to see how much Spencer has improved. I boarded with him his first season and now, a couple seasons later, he looks like a pro! I'll never be able to keep up now. It was a cool, clear day and we had a beautiful view of the Great Salt Lake. Cheryl cooked yummy Pigs in a blanket with mashed potatoes. Yum. I am treating pregnancy as a ticket to eat whatever I want and I intend to enjoy every minute of it that I'm not nauseous!
