Baby Higgins is a...

GIRL! 

We are so excited! We both went into the apt. thinking we'd come out knowing its a boy. I was 95% positive it was a boy. Everyone told me the way I was carrying, and how I never had any morning sickness it just had to be a boy. The ultrasound tech said girl, and I couldn't believe it! This is our beautiful little baby. The tech said she's a healthy baby. I think knowing what we are having just made it so much more real. I don't think Oct. can come fast enough now. I just want to hold my baby in my arms. After she told us it was a girl Aaron said "Oh no! I'm going be so protective of her!" It was cute. He's going be such a good daddy, and he will love this little girl so much. One of the first things my mom said was "Aaron is going to be such a good dad, and he is going to just love her." She's right he will. He's so good with babies, and kids and has so much patience.  

 She was a little wiggle worm during the ultrasound. She kept putting her hands on her face, and putting her hands all over the place. Anytime the ultrasound tech would move over her, she'd try and wiggle away haha. I can tell we are going to have an active one on our hands! 

Aaron thinks she has my nose. It will be so fun to see what features she has of the two of us. She's our beautiful baby, and we couldn't be more excited! :) 

We have a named picked out, but we aren't telling yet! Its going to be hard to keep it a secret, but we will tell when time is closer. 

We seriously couldn't be more thrilled. I can't wait to hold this beautiful baby in my arms, and watch her grow, and teach her the gospel. 

First Road Trip!

We've been married 4 months and finally went on our very first road trip. 10-12 Hours of just driving in the car and enjoying each others company. We went to Utah to see Aarons brother and sister and her family. Buck (Zac), Kyra, and Jason. We also got to see Kyra and Jasons new baby; our first nephew Kyson. We drove all night on Thursday, and then stopped in, I think Orem to sleep for 4 hours and get up and drive to Herriman where Kyra and Jason live. 

(I didn't take this picture, I just found it. It was two dark to take a picture!)

As soon as we got there, after meeting Kyson of course, was breakout the gamecube and get into a friendly competition of Mario Kart double dash. All of Aarons siblings are so good at that game, and I was definitely a little behind. (I've been practicing since we came home so I can keep up) It was freezing in Utah. I was not prepared at all. We went to Texas Roadhouse later that night, and the wait was so long, I thought I'd freeze to death. It was fun to get out of the heat for a little bit though, and enjoy cooler weather. 

Saturday Aaron and I went and did a live Endowment Session at the Salt Lake temple. We got to be the witness couple so it was amazing. The spirit was so strong, and I feel like I paid more attention during the live session, then the videos. The salt lake temple is huge though, and we got lost fast. 

That night we went to The Chocolate in West Jordan. It was flippen fantastic! Aaron and I got a Cazookie! It was so tasty. They need to bring one of those to AZ. Because we'd be there at least once a week. The Chocolate is basically a little dessert cafe. They have a ton of different choices, and its like you're in a little home, eating your food. It was a cool place. Kyra, Jason, Buck, and Bucks friend Scott went with us too of course, which made it even better.

Sunday morning, Aaron and I got up early, so we could get home early. An hour outside of Beaver, it was a blizzard. It was snowing in May! So many people were sliding off the road. We saw a few different semis flipped over, which was scary. We could barely see the road ahead of us, and we even slid 20 or 30 feet once. The other side of the road was jam packed. They weren't going anywhere, and because it was so sudden they didn't have any snow plows ready either. We ended up going through Vegas, and St. George to get home. We weren't sure if the roads would be clear on the 20 to the 89. We ended up taking a lot longer to get home. It was such a great weekend!

 He's cute when he concentrates on his driving! ;)

It was a quick trip, so we didn't get to stay long. But we loved every minute of our visit!
