Utah. Good times.

We went down to Utah last weekend for a couple reasons.

#1: To see divalicious Erika strut her stuff in her cheerleading recital.

#2: To check out little Baby Bausten as he made his way into the world. Cute guy!

#3: And to put in a little face time with the rest of the fam and do all sorts of fun things...obviously!

Utah, it's always good for some fun!

We're expecting

I'd like to interrupt the very important posting of vacation pictures to announce some incredibly exciting news. We've been suspecting this was the case for a little while, but have just received confirmation in the form of a positive test.

In just a short time we will be surrounded by the pitter patter of little feet.

The pitter patter of a lot of little feet actually...puppy feet to be exact.

Yes, Jackson is about to be a Papi. Apparently while he was staying at Rob's Mom's house for those two weeks while we were on vacation he just couldn't manage to keep it in his pants (kidding, of course...I may dress him in shirts and sweaters, but I would never put him in pants) and he's now left Maggie (Rob's Mom's female dachshund) in a family way.

Looks like in a little over a month and a half we'll be overflowing with puppies. This addition to our family is unexpected and we definitely aren't ready to turn our home into a doggie daycare, so...put in your orders now. Who wouldn't want a loverly little puppy to snuggle with all day?

Seriously, who wants a puppy?

Ooh baby, baby!

I am so excited to have another Pickup boy in the family!! My little brother Tyler and his lovely wife Lindsay have contributed the cutest little tyke to the ever growing extended Pickup clan. I am slightly jealous that my Mom got to be there for the birth, but am also so glad that she was there to support Ty & Linds and welcome little Lyndon. I thought it might be viewed as slightly weird to post pictures of someone else's newborn, so check out their blog here to read about the exciting event. Lindsay, you are one tough Mommy!!
