Baby's Heartbeat

Just a quick update, Jason and I went to the doctor yesterday and got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time, it was so exciting, it finally made knowing that I have a little baby growing in me much more real. The heart rate was around 166 so we have everyone assuming that we are having a girl because of the faster heart beat, but according to the doctor that's just a myth. I am finally starting to feel a little better, certain smells still make me sick and I still feel like I want to sleep all the time, but the nausea (which I had at night) has eased up quite a bit. I will put up a picture of me and my belly when I start to show.

We're having a Baby!

New Haircut

This is for my mom, sorry it took so long to put up pictures. Here is the new haircut, shorter than planned but its way easy to do and I like it. Thanks to Jason's brother's wife (also named Katie Searls) who did a great job on the cut!

The Handsome Cop

Jason's Grandmother took this picture months ago, but I just got a hold of it and love it so I thought I would share. This is my handsome Jason in his uniform in front of his patrol car (which by the way he is getting a new one yay!) and in front of our very red and green house (which we will only live in for 30 more days : ( ) Anyway...aren't I a lucky gal?

Up in the Mountains

Jason and I went up to the mountains for a day and a half to go visit his brother Trevor and his wife rachel and their boys Dylan, Jacob and brand new baby Nathan. We had a blast up there, it is so beautiful and so peaceful, I was sad it was only for a day, but it was still nice to get away. Here are some pictures:

Riding on our Four Wheeler

On Turkey Hill...I love it up there

There was this really cool tree with windows and doors Dylan loved it

Its hard to see us all in there but we fit

The gorgeous views

One year cake tradition

So I don't know how many of you saved the top of your cake and actually ate it for your first year anniversary. Well we saved ours and were in Florida for our anniversary so we ate it tonight. We weren't expecting it to actually be edible, but surprisingly it was really really good. I was amazed! We even thought we should celebrate with Charlie and Shady since they put up with us too! Its kind of funny we have yet to actually eat on our nice China, so we decided this would be the perfect occasion to try out our nice china, and Jason actually thought I should let the dogs eat their peice off of the China too...men, I guess they just don't appreciate Crate and Barrel China as much as us women do! So don't worry the dogs got their own tacky plate to eat their cake from!

Honeymoon Finally!

Jason and I never got to go on a real honeymoon after we got married because of his police academy. We finally planned one for our first year anniversary and it was wonderful. We spent 3 nights in Ft. Lauderdale Florida in a hotel right on the beach, we took a two night cruise to the Bahamas, and then came back and spend two nights in Orlando. We had such a nice relaxing and enjoyable time together. Our favorite part was snorkeling in the Bahamas, we will have to put those pictures up later because we haven't developed our underwater camera yet. It was like swimming in Finding Nemo, it was amazing! It was just so nice to get to spend time together and to relax and fall in love all over again. It helped us to appreciate eachother more and we're so grateful for our relationship and that we will always be best friends. Here are a few pictures of our trip...and I'll post our underwater adventures once we get those pictures developed!
