Brad Paisley

Friday night we went with some friends to the Brad Paisley concert. It's a show that we have always wanted to go to, but never really found the time to go. It was amazing. If any of you have the chance to see him in the future, DO IT!!

Darius Rucker (Hootie from Hootie and the Blowfish) was his opening act and he was great.



At one point, Brad Paisley came back to sing to all of the people in the cheap seats. It was fun to see him that close.

Boy oh Boy!

Since we found out we were having a baby, people have asked me what I thought it was. I never really had a feeling one way or the other. This morning we went in for our 20 week ultrasound and found out that he's a little he. It was really fun to find out and so much fun to see that there is an actual baby in there with little hands and little feet. 

Here is his face. Shawn said that he already looks just like him.

 

Yep he's a boy

An arm with little fingers

His legs. I think he is going to be tall because his legs were pretty far up in my stomach.

Two pictures of his feet

It's almost here!

This Friday we are finding out the gender of our baby! We thought we would get your input for what you think we are having. You can leave a comment on here if you want or just take our poll on the right side of the blog.

iPad!!!!

So I am trying to win an iPad at work. They are doing an employee incentive program and the grand prize is a brand-new iPad!!

The Daily Herald just launched Mobile Deals. It's at heraldextra.com/deals on your phone. You can get coupons that you don't have to print out for restaurants and things in Utah County. You just pull it up on your phone and show it to the people at the restaurant.

So if you have a few seconds, go to this site: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L2YN5MD and take the survey. BE SURE TO PUT MY NAME (Stacy Johnson) AS THE ANSWER TO QUESTION 10!

Also, if you read this blog post, leave me a comment that you read it. I also get additional credit for every person I tell about the survey whether they take it or not, so I really want to know if you have simply read this blog post!!

Thanks!

....is the due date of our first baby. I am 13 weeks along and we are both really excited.

We went and heard the heartbeat today. It was a really cool experience. It kind of gives validation that there is actually something in there and that we aren't crazy. Shawn was surprised how fast the heartbeat was.

So far, the pregnancy has been good. I haven't been very sick aside from the occasional nausea. I am hungry all the time, but very few things actually sound good. I went for a while when Subway sandwiches were the only thing that sounded good and then for a while it was french fries and celery. It's kind of weird how it changes day to day.

The photo at the top is how we told our family. Shawn walked into his parents house wearing his shirt and I sent this picture to my family members. It was pretty fun to see their surprise!

Fun with my sister

My sister, brother-in-law and their three kids were in town this last weekend. Jason was interviewing for jobs in Salt Lake!! Hopefully they will move this way :)

Friday night we went to P.F. Chang's. It's Stephanie's favorite place and we go there every time she comes to town. Then we went swimming a their hotel. It was so fun to swim with the neice and nephews. Sadly, I didn't get any photos of it.
 
Saturday we went to the Thanksgiving Point Petting Zoo. It was really funny to see how excited the kids got when they saw the animals. Logan's 2 and he would run so fast to the animals. Carson and Abby (8 and 6) had tons of fun feeding the animals. (Sorry there are so many, I am posting all of our photos so that my sister can pull them down for her scrapbook.)

Saturday night we went to Chuck-E-Cheese's (Shawn's Choice). The highlight of the night for me was when I used like 25 tokens to try to hit the 50 tickets hole on this one game. I decided to give up, but shawn wanted to try once. He made me blow on the token for good luck and he put it in and hit the 50 tickets hole on the first time! It was hilarious.

That night Stephanie and I went to scrapbook club and surprised the group who didn't know that she was in town. Click here to see what we worked on.

I had a really fun birthday this weekend. Shawn filled the day with fun stuff and by the time the day was over, I was so exhausted. We had a blast though.

We went to Red Lobster for lunch. It is my favorite restaurant and I usually only go twice a year, once for my birthday and once for our anniversary. It was yummy.

After Red Lobster, Shawn took me bowling. I beat him by 20 points on our first game, but on the second game he came back and beat me by 1 point. I haven't been bowling in years and it was fun to do it again.

We planned on going to a movie after bowling, but we still had 2 hours before it was supposed to start. So we decided to go play a round of mini-golf at Trafalga. They have really fun blacklight mini-golf. Had a blast and I beat Shawn bad. :)

After mini-golf we went to the movies and saw Date Night. It was ok. If you haven't seen it, wait to rent it.

Then we went to Shawn's parent's house where we had Cold Stone ice cream cake that Shawn got for me. It was A-MAZ-ING. It was cake batter flavored ice cream with Red Velvet cake. YUMMY!

We were sitting outside after we had cake and we decided to play a little basketball with Shawn's parents. It was so fun.
