Our Summer

It has been a long time since I updated this. sorry! We have had a lot of fun things happen!

1. We have went to Mackay alot of weekends! We did a 4 mile hike on the 4th of July. It was beautiful!! Sloan didn't like coming down so much though.

2. We got sealed together in the Salt Lake City temple on June 21, 2010. :) It was one of the best days of my life!!

3. We lost my great grandpa Sam this last Friday. It is incredibly sad to say goodbye but I know he is in a better pain free place now. He was such an amazing man, grandfather, husband and example. He was always a perfect gentelman.

4. Because we lost Grandpa Sam tons of family is coming in this week. So there is an up side to losing grandpa. I am very excited to see everyone!

5. We found out my cousin Ericka is pregnant! She is due in April sometime. So Sloan will have a cousin close to his age on my side of the family as well as Scott's!!!

6. This is a not so fun one but School starts next week . . . send lots of positive thoughts my way!! I am taking 13 credits of mostly online classes. I realized I wasn't taking any music classes and almost started crying. It is really strange to think I wont be doing fact sheet or theory homework for a whole semester. Scott has a full load with tons of hard classes!

7. My mom and Hailey Duncan threw up a baby shower a few weeks ago! It was alot more fun then I was expecting! I think showers are a little awkward baby showers more then others cause the gifts aren't really for me but for Sloan bug. Anyway, We got LOTS of amazingly adorable gifts which included a bunch of super cute blankets and clothes! Thanks to everyone who came/ gave us baby stuff!! It is all very much appriciated!

8. THE BEST FOR LAST!!! I counted last night and I have 16 days till Sloan is full term and 44 days till his due date!!! So anywhere from 16 to 44 days and we will have a cute little addition to our family!!!!

Our Little Man!

So we got a 3D ultrasound about a week ago!!! The pictures are AMAZING!!!

So this is oh strong little Sloan! Everything is going great with us.

Scott and I got SEALED in the Salt Lake Temple on Monday June 20th!!! It was one of the most amazing days of my life!

Introducing. . .

SLOAN!!!!!!!! We got to find out the gender of our baby yesterday and I couldn't believe it was a boy! I so thought that he was a girl. Guess I was wrong!!! We are so excited to be welcoming him into our family!!!!

Yup he is for sure a boy!! I don't think you could fake this!

So this is the back of his head and his legs.

His strong arms!!

And last but not least!!! His face . . .kinda he was facing my spine.

Oh and I forgot!!

We got picuters of BABY!!! We had an appointment to hear the heartbeat and they couldnt find it.. . . 3 appointments later that day and a whole day of worrying later we got an ultrasound!!!!

I was so exctied to see our baby for the first time!!!

Mexico!!!!

So Scott and I went to Mexico this last week!! It was AMAZING!!! We laid on the beach, zip lined through the forest, went to the boardwalk in town and eat some of the BEST food I have ever tasted!!! Here are a few pictures of our trip!!!

This is the lobby of our resort!!!

This is the AMAZING view from the main lobby!

This was at the first restuarnt we eat at in town. hahahaha My dad is so cheap so we had to take a picture of what looks like a $70 tip when it is in pesos! hahahaha

This is the car that we rode in to go zip lining!!! how scetchy does that look :)

This is the beautiful forest that we went through!!!

OUR ROOM!!! That was a huge King bed

Oh yeah and Scott and I went Sea Kayaking!!! SO FUN!!!

And I'll be leaving you with this amazing picture of our sunsets everynight for the last week!

So I am fully aware that it has been forever since I have posted anything.
It has been a crazy couple of weeks around here. School has gotten incredibly hard to go to with Spring Break coming up so fast. It seems like all Scott and I can think about is our trip to Mexico. We leave so soon it is crazy! It seems like it was just yesterday that we booked it. We found an excersion that I can still do even though I am preggo! So I am even more excited now!

Our baby is growing! I am now 11 weeks! It seems so crazy that I have known for 7 weeks. We went to our first doctors appointment a few weeks ago. Everything went really well . . . until......... I had to get my blood drawn for the first time!!! I almost passed out, it was the grossest/ weirdest feeling I have ever felt in my life. We go back to the doctor to hear Baby's heartbeat on Monday!!!! I am SO excited. It feels real now but I think might make it seem even more real!

In my lesson this week I mentioned to DLF (my voice teacher, Diana Livingston Friedly (She is absolutly amazing and a voice god! hahaha)) that we went shopping to buy some capris for Mexico and she offered to give me ALL of her maternity clothes!! She is my size and everything and was preggo during the summer!!! I can't even begin to explain how completly grateful for this tiny act of generousity from my proffesor! She has continually pushed me to be the best I can be while giving me tough music I could never learn without her expertise. She is always surprising me by how supportive she is of every twist and turn my life has taken since my freshman fall semester. So Thank You SOO Much! Just in case she happens to read this :)

Also!!!
I got my patriarchal blessing recommend this last sunday and it is going to happen the sunday we get back from Mexico!!! And that same day I am getting my temple recommend!!!!!! I really want to go through on my birthday!!!!! But it is a Thursday so we will see how that works out hahahaha!

Well that is everything that has happened in the Syndergaard house hold!!! Hope you all enjoy!

Everyday Life

I haven't posted in awhile so I decided to today even though we haven't really had anything exciting happen.
IN ONE MONTH FROM TODAY.......................WE LEAVE FOR MEXICO!!!!!!! I am so excited to go somewhere warm and sunny and beachy!!! Spring break is going to be super fun. This is Scott's first time out of the country!!
Tonight I have my first choir concert of the semester. I am a little nervous about this one. We don't seem to be ready yet. But I am sure everyone will say it was fabulous anyway. hahahaha
Other than that Scott and I are getting used to the idea that we are going to be parents soon. We have has alot of things to think about! But life is good.
