It's a...

I went to the dr last wednesday and I had to have an ultrasound done to check on some cysts I had on my ovaries (which are gone by the way, so yay!) and the tech said that the baby is measuring big and they think I'm a couple weeks further than they originally thought and so she could tell what the gender was. She asked if I would want to know and I told her no because Rob wasn't with me and she said that she would take a picture of it and put it in an envelope for Rob and I to open later.
I called Rob to tell him what had happened and that we would be finding out today and of course he was so excited that he left work a little early.
When he got home we opened up the envelope together and had to look at the picture pretty hard to see what it was but there was a funny little arrow pointing at something tiny and under that it said...
IT'S A BOY!!!!!
Rob was jumping up and down and I just kept repeating ''it's a boy'' because I couldn't believe it. It is what we really wanted. We are so ecstatic to be adding a little boy to our happy family! It is going to be so fun to change gears completely and do the boy thing this time! I'm pretty nervous cuz I feel like I am pretty good at handling a girl but life is all about change and finding new things in life!
So now the great name debate begins... His first name will be Robert because Rob is Robert the third so we will carry on the tradition. He will go by his middle name though, if we ever decide what that will be. :) Any ideas?? I'm up for suggestions!

If I haven't already told the world... :)

WE'RE PREGNANT!! Sorry this blog isn't a very exciting announcement but I've been super sick and haven't quite felt like doing much. I'm 13 weeks along so baby Peck will be here in April and we couldn't be more excited! Kaydence thinks that she has a baby in her tummy too and she hugs and kisses my tummy everyday! Things are going really well. We've had a few complications along the way but hopefully we're outta the woods and all will go well from here on out. I'll try to be better about updating and letting everyone know how it is going. Yay for babies!

Last week we had our pictures taken again and they turned out really cute but man it is hard to get a 2 year old to smile and look at the camera! The cutesy little looks on her face are what makes her so stinkin cute though! It is so weird to see how much Kaydence has changed since we got them done 9 months ago. My friend Wendy took them again and did a great job! Here are some of my favorites.

My favorite but I wish she didn't have her finger in her mouth. Oh well! :)

Mischevous little smile

Kaydence's favorite cuz she got to play on the truck

I love my little family!

I can't believe our baby is 2!

I cannot tell you how shocked I am that my baby is 2!! It seems like just yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital and she was so tiny. I am still amazed everyday about how smart she is and the things that she does! We had 2 birthday parties for her. One on saturday night with Robs family and one on sunday with my family.
On Sunday, her real birthday, my family came over and we had a bbq. Kaydence had not been feeling well that day so it started out kinda rocky but once her Mama got there she turned right around! It is always so fun to get my whole family together! Mom, Dad, David, Carina, Ashley, Neil, Ellie, Cole, Cassie, Harrison, Jake and my Grandparents on my dads side all came. She got spoiled with presents and it was so fun to see her rip them open and scream at every one!


Of course daddy got her another BYU shirt, gearin up for the new season!


Aunt Ashley gave her a picture frame that says laugh across the top of it and has 3 really adorable pictures of Kaydee at Ashleys wedding.


Her favorite present of all, a bike! You should've seen the excitement!!


Cousin Ellie playing stick the dot on the lady bug.


Yay hopscotch!


A lunch tin of her favorite show ever, The Backyardigans. Again, the excitement was hilarious!


Thanking gama and papa for the bike!


Aunt Cassie and soon to be Uncle Harrison. Oh and goofy Uncle Jake of course.


Daddys little girl!


How she spent the rest of the night... On her bike watching her favorite movie, Cassie and Harrison gave her, High School Musical 3!

The party on saturday was so much fun! Kaydence got spoiled by her aunts and uncles. It's funny how well they know her and all got her presents that she loves. We opened presents first then had cake and ice cream. It is so much fun getting together with Robs sisters and their hubbies cuz we can just sit and chat forever. Kaydence dug right into her cake this year which shocked us cuz she is such a clean girly and hates to be dirty but it was so funny to see her covered in it!


Aunt Cynthia got her a mermaid barbie that she loves for bath time!


Yummy yummy cake!


Her favorite toy of the night! Hard to believe, not! Such a modern little girl!


Aunt Amy scored major points with this pillow!

We are so blessed to have such a huge family and to be so close to everyone! Thanks again for coming!

Naughty, not nice!!

So, I was on the computer the other day and Kaydence was in the room next to me watching Backyardigans and I noticed that it had gotten really quiet and if you're a mom you know that is not good... it's a cue that she is up to something! So i wondered upstairs to see what trouble she was into and you'll never guess what surprise I found...





Somehow Kaydence had gotten the fridge open, gotten the eggs out and smashed one on the floor. I tried not to freak out and cleaned it up. But, I then walked into my front room and found another little surprise...




This time she decided to smear the whites all over my entry way!! HELP, the terrible twos have arrived early and I feel that we are in for a long ride!

Finally catching up!

Wow I am such a slacker! I cannot believe that it has been a month since I have blogged. Sorry friends! Needless to say that this post might be a little long but we have been so busy and I want to catch everyone up on what's up with the Pecks!
Kaydence is getting so big! I took her to the doctor the other day and she is now in the 40% for height and weight. That is the biggest she has been on the percentage scale. I have to play the bragging parent card for a minute because the doctor was so impressed that she talks so much and makes so many sentences out of her words. Also, he speaks Spanish and started asking her where all her body parts are in spanish and she got every one right on the first try! He said that he has never seen a kid her age know so much of a secondary language! She also knows dozens of other words in spanish because Rob speaks it constantly to her. Our little genius!! He said that she is well beyond where she should be and said that we don't have to bring her back til she's 3. Yay! It is just good to have someone tell you that you are doing something right. :)

Rob's job is going so well! He is moving up to be a Loan Officer now!! His boss approached him last week and said that he is doing an awesome job and the company wanted to pay for him to get his license. Before, he would get info and send out quotes but have to turn the loans over to get finished but now he gets to see them through from start to finish. I am so so proud of him and cannot tell you how much I love seeing him excited about work!!

My big brother and his wife graduated from BYU last week! He graduated in Electrical Engineering and she graduated in Accounting. Way to go guys!! I love you both so much!! :)


Yay David and Carina!!



Kaydence also got her first haircut a couple weeks ago! She was starting to get the little baby mullet in the back but it was so hard to bring myself to cut it! I am so glad that I did. She loved getting it cut and she felt so special on mommy's hair chair. :) Now she has a cute little bob and she actually lets my round brush and style it. Oh, my dreams of having a girly girl are definitely coming true!


She kept looking in the mirror saying "pretty kaydee". So cute!




Last month we went camping with my family and had an absolute blast!! We go about 3 hours south, in the middle of nowhere. The week was full of campfires, shooting, arrowhead hunting, and my favorite... 4 WHEELING!! It was so fun to get out of town and be close with family. Thanks again to my grandma, who spoiled Rob, Kaydence and I by letting us stay in her trailer with her. It was so perfect during the days but bitter cold at night, so we were very greatful. We spent most of the time being crazy on the 4 wheelers and came back with plenty of bumps and bruises to show for it but I definitely think it was worth it. Kaydence loved camping too! She was all about running into the woods and playing in the dirt. Man, we sure got our exercise chasing her but I was so glad that she loved it.
Everyone around the campfire!

Stoppin for a pit stop to nap on the steps. Odd litle child. LOL!

Camping is a dirty job but we love it!!

My dad showing Rob how to shoot a muzzle loader!

I have to brag that I am a pretty good shot! I definitely showed those boys what's up!

Uncle Jake spoiled Kaydee with tons of 4 wheelin rides! She loved it so much, it was torture to try to get her off them.

Had to bring her "mimi" along for the trip. Poor little monkey got left a little close to the fire and has a few battle marks now. Oops!!

I promise I'll be better at posting!! :)

What a birthday!!

So, today is my birthday and do you wanna see my big birthday surprise....


It's a fully loaded 2008 Nissan Altima! The most amazing car that I have ever driven. It has button start and all the bells and whistles! Nice huh!



Too bad it's a rental!! :( Got ya!
Yesterday Rob got in a really bad car accident but we are so lucky that he is totally ok, other than a few bruises from the seat belt and air bag and a little whip lash but he is such a mans man that he pretends it doesn't hurt. The accident wasn't his fault. A girl turned left in front of him at an intersection that didn't have a stop sign so he slammed on his brakes but hit her going about 40 and she flipped into a fence and then he slammed into another car after hitting her! Everyone involved is ok other than whiplash and bruises. Once again, we are so so lucky! But we did have to bid a fond farewell to our little Honda :( We're not sure the condition of it but we're 99% sure that it is totaled. It is like 16 years old but was in great condition and ran perfectly because my grandparents used to own it and sold it to us a couple years ago. We are so sad to see it go and totally dreading car shopping but at least we get to enjoy this sweet ride for the next couple weeks.
It was a cool birthday present to get to drive this around all day. I also went out to lunch with 2 of my really good girl friends, Erin and Jamie. Thanks again girls! Rob and I had Cafe Rio for dinner and he gave me my presents which included this gorgeous right hand ring! :)

It's a pink saphirre with diamonds on the side. I've wanted a gem stone for the longest time and it is just what I wanted!! Thanks again baby!
Kaydence gave me a rose and a gift card that daddy got for her to give me from my favorite hobby store!
My family all pitched in and got me my own sewing machine!! YAY! Now I can give my sister hers back and take my time on all the projects I have going! :)
My sister sent me this picture this morning of my neice and nephew. Cole always smiles a big cheesy smile like that and it is so like Ellie to be holding the paper upside down. I love them!

It was a very happy birthday!
