What I have been up to...




I am trying to keep myself busy out here while Wyatt is gone all day from 11am-10pm working. So I have decided to start making more of my burp cloths. I made some in Arizona but now thanks to my amazing mother, I received my own sewing machine for my birthday. I love it. I think I could sew all day long and not get bored of it. It's just so fun turning something so plain into something fancy. Let me know if anyone is interested and I would love to make some for you! The three above are just a few of the many I make. I will post more of them soon :) I am also working on making a hooter hider so I'll let you know how that turns out..

My Birthday Weekend





This Summer 5 girls are pregnant. Here are 4 out of the 5. We all were in Mimi Maternity and found this cute shirt and thought it be fun for a picture. All of us are due in October except Michelle who is due in July. It's so fun having all these prego friends!


This weekend I celebrated my 23rd Birthday. I had such a great birthday thanks to my wonderful husband. We went to the Zoo with our family and friends and then to dinner with just my hubby at Ruth's Chris. It was really nice just to spend some quality time with Wyatt and Crew this weekend. Ruth's Chris was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend the filet with Blue Cheese crumbles. It was the best steak I have ever had!! Thanks to Mike and Ashley for watching Crew for us...our date night was long overdue. On my actual birthday, I woke up to Crew bringing a card into me with Money for shopping and a pregnancy massage gift card. Then for lunch all the wives went and met our husbands for lunch at Chevy's and then were off to the mall for some shopping. Thanks so much to Wyatt and Crew. You guys are too good to me! And thanks to all my family and friends for the nice phone calls/texts who remembered my birthday. You are the best and made my birthday special!!!

Fun Friday Downtown






All the wives and kids got together today and we went downtown. We ate at Hard Rock Cafe and then walked to the Gateway Arch. It was a long walk but fun just chatting with all the girls. We were planning on going up in the arch but by the time we got there it was closed. Bummer but all in all it was a fun day. I am sure we will make a trip back there again soon to go to the top..

The Butterfly House

Today Mallory, Crew and I went to The Butterfly House. It was such a neat experience. There were so many beautiful butterflies that I never even knew exsisted. Crew absolutely loved it, he was just cruising around the place looking everywhere for butterflies. But they keep it so humid in the Conservatory so towards the end I think we were all just ready for some fresh crisp air. We all had such a fun day. Thanks again Mallory for joining us!

Graham Taylor Montgomery

We just wanted to Congratulate Wyatt's sister, Jessica and her family on there new adorable addition to the family. Graham was born on May 9 at 8:01pm. He is beautiful. All I have to say is Jessica is AMAZING! She didn't get to the hospital until 7:45 that night and had him 16 minutes later all natural just like her two other kids, they didn't even have time to get an IV in her! We cannot wait to meet the newest addition to the Dannels side of the family in a few weeks. Congratulations Montgomery Family!!! We love and miss you guys!

We finally made it to our Summer Home...St. Louis



First off we want to thank my parents for all of their help within the last couple weeks. They drove our car 1500 miles from Mesa to St. Louis. What awesome parents I have! Then when Wyatt, Crew and I flew in on Tuesday, we arrived at our
new home for the summer and my parents had unpacked our whole entire car and organized my whole house. They had our bed made and everything already unpacked and put away. They even had some groceries in the fridge for us. I am so grateful for my parents and all that they continually do for our family. They are amazing. Thanks so much for everything you did for us Mom and Dad. You made me feel a little better about living in St. Louis for 4 months. We appreciate all you did for us and the words "thank you" just don't seem like quite enough. We love you guys and miss you already. Here are some pictures of some fun things we did while my parents were still here visiting. We Love you Mom and Dad Thompson!!

1 Year Old Pictures of Crew Boy






This last weekend I invited my good friends Brooke and Jamie to southern California to just hang out with the kids at my parents BeachHouse. We had such a blast from Sea World to Disneyland and to just relaxing on the beach. It was a much needed trip for all of us. Thank you so so much to Brooke for taking the cutest pictures ever of my baby boy. I love all of them and can't wait to put them up in his room. I owe you Brooke. To check out more of her work go to: snapallaz.com. I will soon post more pics of our fun trip...

A fun day at the Zoo

The other day my friend Brittney and I took Crew and Madison to the Phoenix Zoo. We had such a fun time looking at all the animals. I wasn't too impressed with this Zoo. There were way too many hills and not very many animals. I think it's time they re-do this zoo. Maybe I am just spoiled because we've been to the San Diego Zoo before and this doesn't even compare. We are looking forward to going to Southern California this week to go to Sea World and to hang out with my sisters. It should be lots of fun! Oh yeah...we are also finding out the sex of baby #2 on Saturday. We will let you know...let me know your guess??

He loved the pageant. I was in shock to see how amazed he was at everything from the angels to all the animals. He really enjoyed every minute of it. Crew even sat in his little chair I brought him for a good part of the show. We had such a fun night. Thanks for coming with us Brooke and Bryten! And Carli...if you are looking at this, I am so sad but the picture that lady took of all of us didn't turn out. I was so bummed...You did an amazing job though. It was so fun to see you!!!
