It's a......

BOY!!!!

The polls were right and we couldn't be more excited! I'll post the ultrasound pics when we get back in town but for now, we wanted to share the news. You should've seen Curtis's face light up when it showed up boy. It was priceless. I've always thought it was a girl for some reason so I think Cur didn't really let himself daydream about all the things he could do with a little boy. On the way home from the doctor's office he was telling me how he couldn't wait to take him fishing, work on the truck together, teach him to throw a baseball, and get him ready to serve a mission. He said "There's a shortage of good men in this world. We could use another good man." He couldn't be more right and I feel so blessed and privileged to have the opportunity to raise a boy with one of the best men I know.

Now we're on to boy names (we only had a girl name! help!) and room ideas... So much fun!!!

Merry Christmas!

2009 has flown by! As these special holidays brings this year to an end, Candace and I feel like we have so much to be thankful for. We'd like to share with you some of the highlights from our first year together (also, check out the attachment):

Candace is pregnant with a baby boy, due to join us May 25th! We are all super excited! Candace works for an architecture firm in Salt Lake City as an interior designer. Her days are long as Curtis drops her off at the bus stop in Orem at 6:30am and she usually returns at 6pm or later. She's a trooper and she works hard to put Curtis through school. She loves being a leader to the young women at church. In true fashion of being an Arizona native, she's still learning to adjust to the cold Utah weather. We did, however, get plenty of beach time this summer with a honeymoon to Playa del Carmen, Mexico and a family trip to Hawaii.

Curtis is wrapping up his second and final year as a marketing MBA at BYU. The program has been a tremendous blessing to him and he's ready to jump back into the business world. He graduates in April and is interviewing with a variety of companies. We'd like to stay close to family in the Southwest but we're willing to go wherever we find the best job opportunity. Riding and selling motorcycles is still what Curtis loves most, however, he's recently picked up the fly fishing bug from his father and knows the Provo River inside and out. He loves cheering on the Suns, playing flag football with his classmates, and can't wait to have a little boy to play with.

This Season is a time to reflect on the blessings from God, including the life of Jesus Christ. We are so grateful for the peace the gospel of Jesus Christ brings into our lives. Thank you for your love and thoughts during 2009 and we hope to stay in touch during 2010!

Merry Christmas,

Curtis, Candace & baby boy Heyman

Look What Little Brother Can Do

Check out this video of Curtis's little brother, Taylor. He was on a HOT
date at a Jon Schmidt (famous pianist) concert and got picked out of a
crowd for an impromptu jam session on the piano. He was amazing!
I'm always impressed by his talent.

16 & A Half Weeks

So I'm almost 17 weeks pregnant and it feels so surreal sometimes. It's feeling more and more real as my tummy gets bigger and bigger. I think I felt the curbug kick me today. I was laying in bed and it felt like a little popcorn popped in my tummy. It could've been a gas bubble or something but this felt different. Although it hasn't happened again so I can't be certain...

This week little curbug is the size of an avocado. Can you believe that? It's incredible. I was thinking the other day about a project I'm working on. It's a city hall that's being built. I was looking at the construction progress thinking "Heavenly Father is making a little life in my tummy faster than this measely building is going up!" It really is an amazing process, one that I feel so blessed and priveledged to be a part of. I want to meet this little guy or gal so badly! (I think it's a girl for the record, but we'll see!)

Here's the requisite belly shot:


On another note, it's been snowing here like crazy! The other morning Cur was driving me to my bus stop and we were trying to guess the temperature outside because it felt so cold. I looked it up on my phone and it was zero degrees. That's right, I said ZERO DEGREES! Needless to say, we've been bundling up. I can't wait to enjoy some good 'ole Arizona weather. Who needs a white Christmas anyway? Not me.

14 Weeks & A Belly

I'm not sure if it's because I just ate 4 pieces of pizza or because there's a Curbug the size of a lemon in my tummy, but I can't seem to be able to button my pants these days. Thank goodness for the marvelous invention, the rubber band (if you don't know that age old trick, be sure to ask someone who knows).



Don't most people look like this at about 20 weeks? I really don't know but I'm fearful I'm doomed to gain 70 odd pounds like my mother...

This made me smile

We have a CURBUG on the way!!!

So I'm pregnant. There's a tiny little baby growing inside of me. How crazy is that?! I'm 12 weeks along and we couldn't feel more blessed. We can't wait to meet this little bugger.

Here are the ultrasound pics from my 9 week appointment. Doesn't it look just like a little gummie bear?




Next order of business: Do you think it's a boy or a girl? Place your vote in the poll on the right.

Is it a baby Cbug?


Or a little Curbo?


We're going to find out at 20 weeks so we'll keep you posted.

Maybe in our next poll we'll have you vote on names. Cur has some really original ideas such as Steven Nash Heyman, Nash Steven Heyman, or Thomas Gordon Monson Hinckley Heyman... these could work for a girl too, right?
