Fun with Greg and Abby

Hello dear friends! We have been awful at updating our blog and will now present you with a ream of pictures and captions that attempt to show and tell you what we have been up to in our lives. Hold on tight because this could get a little lengthy. We live with Ron and Tami now and are having a grand ol' time being home.
First of all, I am officially 34 weeks prego, meaning I only have 6 weeks remaining until peanut is fully cooked and ready for delivery. Yee ha peanut, let's do this thing!

We did a lot of boating this summer. Greg looks dang fine surfing. I just tried not to think about the bouncing baby on my bladder the entire time.

Greg's mission president came home and we went to his homecoming! Greg loves them so much and it was fun to meet them.

We discovered a new restaurant, thanks to the one and only GUY from Diners, Drive In's and Dives. Moochies is the best and gave us delicious philly cheese steak sandwiches!

We went to Jackson/Yellow Stone- Say hello to the Grand Tetons, translation-large tetons.

The Hot Pots of yellow stone!

Say hello to our little friend. He walked right by the car.

Old Faithful in the rain. Tyler, Greg, Abby, and Camden (Tory's "special friend.")

Greg and I went on a hot date to Sundance. We rode the tram up the mountain during the full moon. He got a little chilly, but luckily we found this puffy mom jacket for him to stay warm in.

I had my first shower in my home ward and peanut got spoiled. Rotten peanut, just rotten.

Michael left on his mission :( I'm not in the picture because I was outside convincing a lady cop that resembled a leathery orange peel not to give us a ticket for parking in the drop-off only zone.

We are so dang pregnant. I have to keep reminding myself that I am not a small farm cow wearing a patterned shirt, but that I'm glowing!

The happy couple! Notice greg is wearing new tight jeans (my doing). The little fifteen year olds at Michael's farewell party kept calling him Edward and I was okay with that because he is so dang good looking.
Well we have more pictures, but we don't want to bore. We are so happy and will blog again some day in the future. Until then, farewell!

Twins!

I have some news.... I'm having twins! But really, it's a boy, but I think he wants a twin. He is 12 oz. right now. I was very sad to find that out because I definitely have not gained 12 ounces. Dangit little baby! I am officially past the half way mark. We are at 21 weeks and my belly is starting to pop out. We are so excited! We can't wait for our little guy to come out. We are probably going to name him Riggs, after his father Gregory Riggs, and his father's mother, Raylen Riggs Anderson. He is destined to be a little hottie with that name! Anywho, we went to our ultra sound and he was sucking his little thumb. I don't know how to get the picture on here, but I'll figure it out. I want him to come right now! Tell me if you come up with a better name than riggs! But seriously if you come up with one that would be really rude... Farewell!

baby time!!!

Hooray I shall blog today! Okay so most of you know. Well all of you know but I felt that for the first time I have something to blog about so just pretend it's the first time you have heard it! WE ARE PREGNANT. We gotta bun in the oven. I feel bad that most people had to find out without me telling them because word spread like a wild fire. But it is so exciting. It was not planned! Though all of my friends won't believe me because I wouldn't stop talking about how badly I wanted a baby. Well I got my wish! And now I'm sicker than a dog! I guess that's the price you pay for the little babe!
I went and had my first ultra sound a few weeks ago. It looks like a little peanut. So that is what we have nick named it.... Peanut. Feel free to refer to him/her as such. Peanut was going crazy in my stomach and flipping all over the place and wiggling it's little arms and legs. I asked the doctor if something was wrong and he said it looked like a hyper one! Ha. I guess I can't expect anything less from an abby/greg combo. I don't know if I just shared too much information but whatever. We are so happy! We are due October 18th. Much love

hello it's abby, i've been lost

Look at me! I changed my background all by myself. On my honor I will begin to blog from this moment forward. Now I just need to change my title picture before i barf. P.S. Sarah if you read this, take me to the gym.

More Soi por favor!

Our good friends Soiartxe and Idoia came to visit from Spain

for the weekend. We spent the weekend at the cabin and had some

friends come up and chow down at a good old fashioned bbq so we could hang out with Soi!

Greg baptized Soi on his mission and they are the best of friends.

We miss them!

Side note: I found out about this bbq three hours before it started...hmmmmm Greg and I are working on communicating our plans haha!

I decided that I need to get wedding pictures and honeymoon pictures on here since I am a newlywed, duh! So I'll write about the honeymoon. We spent the first two nights in the Hilton (an Anderson family friend gave that to us, so very nice). We had a blast. We ran around downtown, ate steaks at Spencers, used VIP passes for the executive Suite Lounge, and forgot to go to church. What a way to start out a marriage! After planning a wedding there is nothing more relaxing than two nights at the Hilton.

After that is was a five day cruise to the west side of Mexico. As you can imagine (but please try not to) we did not participate in many on-ship activites such as bingo, treasure hunting, pool swimming (sea water pools), salsa dancing, bar drinking, or even eating some nights. Room service is a beautiful thing! We had so much fun though. We got off at Cabo and Greg had to stop me from paying 30 bucks to a poor man trying to sell me an ugly bracelet. I finally bought it for five and around the next corner they were selling them for $1. Ima loser! We got fake tattoos and played on the beach all day. We played the game Run away from the sharks (you may have played it in your local pool when you were five) in the ocean and I think we gave Americans a bad name cuz all the Mexicans thought we were koo koo. But then I really started getting stung by jelly fish and Greg wouldn't beleive me and kept pulling me back into the water. Only later did he feel bad when he witnessed my jelly wounds.

If anyone is thinking of going on a cruise for their honeymoon in the future, do it! It was so stinkin fun and relaxing. It is the only way to go ok? cool. Bye now

20 Otter Pops

Greg and I decided it was time for a good old fashioned sleepover in which we would inflate a mattress and listen to Harry Potter 7 in the dark. That was the game plan any way. Until I passed out at some point while Greg was putting the thirteenth disc into the player and left Greg to pull an all nighter by himself. This was not wise! When I woke up I found otter pop wrappers covering our area of sleep! I think there may have been some red syrup on my face. I do not know what happened but Gregory went psycho on us and overdosed on popsicles. We are working on his sugar addictions (refer to evidence below).

Moments before I fell asleep

After i made Greg collect his evidence of future

health problems

Though he had a little bit of a hayday, he will always be our little Gregory Riggs. And he even brought me flowers the next day!
