4 years of Love and Laughs

Today is Brett and myself's 4 year anniversary. As I reflect on the great times we had I think a lot about the trips we have taken, getting ready now for this baby to come, going out to dinner and just spending time together, but my absolute favorite thing about him is that he makes me laugh, and most of the time not even trying too. I can recall the last time we went to St. George, he was talking to my sister and in all seriousness says "If I was a betting man..." (I can't remember the rest) Danell and I looked at him when Danell finally says "But Brett you are a betting man". It was pretty funny, and if you don't think so I guess you had to be there. Thats just one recent example of him making me laugh without even trying. Well Brett its been a great 4 years and although we are wrapping up this chapter of our lives together (unfortunately not soon enough) I know the next is going to be great as well. Love you and Happy Anniversary.

You have no idea what your hiding.

So its been amazing how many times throughout this pregnancy that I have put on a "clean" shirt and noticed a stain on it. For the longest time I would put something on and wonder how in the world did I get a stain already I just put it on. Well the other day I immediately took the shirt off and went into the laundry room to treat the stain, to my astonishment I couldn't see it anymore, since than I have figured out that you can hide a lot of stains on your clothes when they are not being stretched out to the MAXIMUM. I haven't been very good about buying pregnancy clothes because I just didn't need to for so long, and now that I do I don't want to because she is so close to coming. I have to admit I did pretty good for while but now in the words of Kramer "Shes out there and loving every minute of it" you can not hide her now.
I have decided that the only reason, that makes since on why she has not come yet is that she hears people ask me "When are you due" and when I tell them they say or your not near big enough, which is really annoying to hear because I feel like a whale and just not a whale but a Humpback Whale. So I have concluded that she hears them and thinks she is not done cooking yet. But let me tell you Milly, the Doctor says your done and can come. Another reason I believe she has not come yet is because she wants me to be a spiritual person and teach my Relief Society lesson tomorrow, but I think that fact that I have planned it should count. Oh well I guess she will come soon I will laugh though if she comes after church, than I wont have to do family dinner, HAHA Tanya and Kristie, even though I kid around I really do love the fact that we are doing these get togethers, I promise I wouldn't change them for the world and I really do mean that. Love you 2 and will see you and your families tomorrow. This is me at 36 weeks.

Memorial Day 2010

I still miss Colorado and my wards Annual Memorial Day breakfast, but Brett and I are starting to make some great traditions of our own. The morning started with Brett running the Syracuse 5K, he did great and I enjoyed watching him. We than went to breakfast at Star Cafe, we had never been there but heard great things one being that you can get ice cream with your pancakes. Well neither of us got pancakes but we still enjoyed what we ordered. After breakfast we went home and did a little bit of yard work, got ready and went to the West Point cemetery this year we took Brett's grandma and I am glad we did. I know it made her day, but I really enjoyed hearing stories about Brett's grandpa I never heard before. We than had lunch, went shopping and than headed up to a Rehab center where Brett's Grandpa is and visited with him and celebrated his other grandmas birthday. It was a great day.

Peyton and Milly

So call me a laymoe but I imagine and daydream about Peyton, Bella and Milly all being the best of friends. I think about it all the time. So even though this picture is totally staged I think its pretty cute, and I think both Peyton and Bella are excited for her arrival. You also wouldn't think that this would be a hard picture to take, but I think my belly is a little to big for Peyton to rest her hand on comfortably. We tried and tried and her hand kept falling down.

Last Day with The Dells

My sister Andrea and her family moved to New York a coulple days ago. I was so glad that they came up to SLC so I could see them one last time. With her being closest to me in age we have always had a great relationship. Brett and loved going to Vegas all the time to see them. We are of course going to miss having a free palce to stay when we go to Vegas but were also going to miss just being able to see them every couple months. I am so excited for them but also so sad, its not going to be easy to see them but were super excited to go to New York. Well we had a great time spending time with them one last time. It was so fun to have her girls see me pregnant Addi says "Why is your tummy big?". Well girls I am going to miss you we love you all and best of Luck.

Pregnancy Update

Wow I cant believe I am almost there, I feel like I have been pregnant forever. To be honest I don't know how some people can love this, I AM NOT A FAN AT ALL. You spend the first part feeling sick, tired, drained and mostly not yourself. The second part is not that bad until the belly pokes out than its a pain getting clothes to fit. The 3rd part is the worst, I can best sum it up by referring to The Simpsons, in one of the shows Homer buys a Helper monkey that ends up being like Homer after a while. Well the show gets to a point where the monkey is just laying on the floor struggling to breath. Marge says " Homer do something with that Monkey it just lays there struggling to breath" Homers response is " What do you expect his cholesterol it through the roof. My cholesterol may not be through the roof but some days I do just that STRUGGLE TO BREATH. Oh and that bull crap of once the Baby drops you breathe much better, thats a lie I have now had many people tell me I have dropped and I am not breathing any better. I have noticeable veins on the sides of my stomach and am starting to get varicose veins, not to mention the Charley horse in my butt. OH THE JOYS OF BEING PREGNANT RIGHT??? My doctor also has me do kick counting sometimes I worry somethings wrong with her cause she is going crazy with all the kicking, it makes me sick. Well enough complaining with all this CRAP thats happening to my body, that may never go away is going to be one precious girl that makes it all worth it.

2010 Davis County Gala Foundation Rhythm and Hues

Brett and I love going to this event. This year was also great because we were able to plan for it a little and get ready for it. Last year Bretts Dad gave us his spot last minute so we kind of were rushed. But this year I was able to get all ready and look as good as I can possible look right now. The entertainment was remarkable, I cant think of his name right now but he is from California and paints to music. His paintings were auctioned off for an average of $1000- $40000 each. The whole night was great and to top it off we actually were able to come home with some stuff we had bought from the silent auction (last year we got out bid on everything). Chris Thanks for Sponsoring our table and Brynne for doing my hair, you made me look all pretty.
