3 More Weeks!!

I love this little boy inside me, but it is definately time for him to come out! I need a break from the tailbone pressure and the hands and feet pain! It slows me down too much! I have had a couple requests for the belly update so here you are...Week 35

Oregon with friends!

The summer in San Diego ended for Ian on the scheduled date of July 24th. He graciously said I could extend my ticket for a while so I could attend a family and friend road trip to Oregon to see my Grandma, aunt and cousins that live there. So that is what I did...we all had a great time together!

We brought a 20' pontoon boat with us the whole way so we stopped in Sacramento on the way up and on the way back to run the river and so the girls (friends we brought with us) could have some time with their dad that is living near Sacramento.

Captain Jordan

Kim and Maddy getting some sun!



Uncle Gary and KT

We picked blackberries!

Once we got to Oregon we had lots a fun at Grandma's house too!

We all tried out Grandma's trike!

We wrestled and

rode horse back even when horse bucked!

We love floating the rivers on personal pontoon boats while we are there too!

The floaters were Kim, Gary, Todd, KT, Taylor, Jordan and Trajen

Taylor and Jordan were BFF's at 1st sight

We stopped to skip rocks on the way down

Kim learning the ART of OARING!

Todd had a boat full with both his kids but everyone had a GREAT time

Jordan had a loose tooth and decided she wanted Uncle Gary to pull so it would stop hurting her

One smooth movement

and the tooth was out without any pain at all...she was all smiles

She knows who to ask when another tooth is ready to come out!

Maddy didn't want to miss out on anything, but it was a little early for her!

The trip was TONS of fun

but the ride got long so we had to entertain ourselves how we could with water fights and seat protector hats at the rest stops!

32 Weeks

So here is the belly progress at 32 Weeks. As you can see the shirst are not covering in front so well any more. 32 Weeks is 8 months along! Yeah for one more month! I love this little baby boy inside me and can't wait to meet him.

Idaho Adventures

Ian and I had a really great time with family in Idaho too! We got to go to a cabin in Island Park with my couzins, which was really fun!

Alvin and Zeenie are SO fun to hang out with!

The cabin was funny...it had a queen size bunk bed in Ian and my room that looked like it was made of real tree trunks. I am not sure if you can tell with this picture but it basically took up the whole room and it was a little closterphobic sleeping on it! We could either choose to be close to the ceiling or close to the other bed!

Here is the living room and kitchen

We headed out in the morning to explore Island Park...we were mostly looking for some animals!

And my sweet Mom threw us a baby shower! It was fun and made me feel so blessed to know how many people care about this little baby growing inside me.

Aunt Aldean and couzin Jai's girlfriend Lindsay

Just a few of the great people at the baby shower...from lft to rt; Kathy Wallace, Camile Wallace, couzin Kimberly Romrell and couzin Holly Romrell

It hit me when I was seeing all the little clothes that some day pretty soon I would have a little boy to put in those little clothes! Pretty overwhelming actually. Ian said he had the same reaction when he got home and saw them too.

We were very blessed and love everyone!

Reuniting with friends

Ian and I were very happy to be able to visit with some good friends we made in Hawaii! Kind of funny we were reunited in Idaho of all places, haha. They are the kind of friends you can go to places like Beaver Dick park and everyone finds it SO funny we have to take a picture by the sign!



We had a FUN filled day with the Dalleys and the Potts! We climbed the North Menan Butte or what locals call "R" mountain. THe R is for Rexburg, I think. Unless it was for Ricks...Ricks is what BYU Idaho used to be called?

Jana and Rob Potts at the top!

Kate and Brandon Dalley at the top!

Then there is the famous giant sized hamburger joint "Big Judd's" that we had to visit! Can you imagine eating a hamburger the size of your plate!!

Looks like the Dalley's have it down!

Then we went to Rigby Lake with Rob's Kayak and my family's 4 person raft...we found it a little squishy to actually have 4 people in the raft though! It sure was fun :)

4th of July Adventures

I know these are a little out dated, but I have fallen a little behind in the posts so I am trying to get you all updated! Ian took the summer off from school so he and I went home to San Diego, Arizona, and Idaho. We went to Idaho for the 4th of July and had a great time there. We arrived on the 3rd of July and went to my brother's house to sit on his roof and watch the 'Rigby Lake' fireworks. Ian fell asleep up there, those of you who know Ian know he can fall asleep anywhere, but then he woke when it was time to set off our own fireworks afterwards!

For the 4th we went to the Rexburg parade in the morning where we saw our friends from Hawaii, Robb and Jana Potts! And of course there was a how big is your belly shot!

Then we all went on a hike to Mesa Falls...(from left to right) Kt, Ian, Nick, Anunt Julie, Annie, Kellie, Mom and Dad.

It sure was georgous! There was an upper falls...

and a lower one. Here we all are making our way down there.




It was a nice day and we enjoyed being together!
