Friends and Family Weekend!!!

Okay..so i know that i am a total blogging loser these days..but life has been pretty relaxed lately and i just dont have much to blog about. I'm still pregnant and growing quite the belly as of the past few weeks...(yes i am showing now)..but boy do i feel good...pregancy has been good to me thus far.. and only about two and a half months left!!!

Anyways.. i still work at the Gap and our Friends and Family weekend (now known as Give and Get) is coming up shortly..like November 13th, 14th and 15th or something like that. I have 50 coupons to give away so if you would like one either leave your email address and i will e-mail you a coupon or leave your address and i will send you one...(i have 25 email coupons and 25 hard copy coupons). These coupons work at any Gap store and online so dont be shy... if you need more than one for like a sister or mom or friend or something just let me know and hopefully i can get you a few...

Well then.. until next time, (which hopefully wont be another month away)..have a great day and a Happy Halloween tomorrow!!

like i said..

...i just love conference weekend. We started out by going to the BYU vs. Utah State football game friday in Logan. pretty dull game but we had a good time with my family. On saturday we all slept in and then watched conference. In between sessions my mom was being her martha stewart/betty crocker self by cooking up some zuchinni bread. She added a few of her own twists, which usually always work. I've dedicated a few posts to how amazing my mother is in the past. This one is to show you that she really is human and she too makes mistakes... (just not very often.) Here is her attempt to making Zuchinni bread...something went terribly wrong and her poor oven had definetly seen better days. this bread had been in the oven for about an hour and was still so runny and had blown up in her oven. Needless to say we all had a few good laughs at this one mom.
That night we had family pictures taken in Oakley, Id. They turned out so so good. We stopped at my grandmas on our way out to pictures and to watch the Saturday afternoon session of conference. This is one of the many snapshots of all my sisters. syd, rach, meag, kell and me... Sure do love these girls!!
and who could forget my dad. I just love this guy. he keeps us laughing ALL the time. Don't let this picture fool you..he is one of the happiest people i know....he just likes to put on a front to show his tough side. I dont know how i got so lucky to have such great parents. Love you dad.
Our photographer found out that i was pregnant and kept wanting to take pictures displaying my belly. The thing is that i still dont really look pregnant..i just look like i've gained 10 pounds. Anyways, she made trae wrap his arms around me and make a heart on my stomach for a few pictures so we had fun making fun of this silly pose. (just imagine that my triangle looks like a heart)

anyways..it was a FANTASTIC weekend!!

wow!

I sure do love conference weekend. Wasn't it just amazing!!! There were so many things that i needed to hear at this time in my life. I'm deteremined to be just a little bit better and try a little harder. I loved being able to go home and spend the entire weekend with my family... (pictures to come soon). Aren't families just the greatest things in the world. I sure am lucky! hope your conference weekend was as splendid as mine and that you were uplifted by all those great talks. WOW!

and here she is...

Here are a few shots of our little lady. The first is a profile shot. I was amazed that they could check specific things already. Our ultra sound tech could already check and see if she would have a cleft pallet and other things like that. AMAZING!! The next picture is of her little foot, which i think is so cute. Then there is another profile picture. She was breech during the ultrasound so she just rested her little legs up on her shoulders, flexible already. The last is the "proof" picture. I hope that it is okay that i posted this little private picture of her. I loved it though becuase her legs were crossed like that the ENTIRE time. I'm glad that she let us get a little look a few times though. We got a few other good shots of her legs and arms and a skeleton picture (which is a little freaky) but these were just a few of my favorites. I am still in awe at technology these days. Its amazing how much i love this little gal already. I am so blessed that i have been feeling well. I'm harldy showing at all right now so when i get where i actually have a visible baby bump i might post a picture.

The verdict is in....

and we are having a GIRL!!! I dont know about Trae, but i am in complete shock. I thought for sure we were having a little boy becuase everyone we know is having girls... but we decided to jump on that bandwagon right along with them. Neither one of us really had a preference but we are so excited for our news and for our little family. The baby looked healthy and has two feet with five toes and little hands. All of her vitals are strong and working just as they should be. She was being rather modest during the ultrasound and kept her cute little feet and ankles crossed the entire time..but we still got a good look and the doctor said its safe to start shopping (not that i need anymore temptations)! anyways..i have quite a few pictures and a dvd that i will work on putting up here so you can see our little bundle of joy too. until then..just be proud that i finally posted something since it has been nearly a century since my last one.

Special Delivery!!!

Its the truth...Trae and I are expecting our little selves a special delivery in January!!! I know, it seems like forever away (probably because it is) but i couldnt hold it in any longer--i 'm proud that i made it three and a half months. My sweet mother helped get the news out while we were out of the country for three weeks so i'm guessing that a large majority of you allready know. Anyways..we went to the doctor this week and heard the little rascals heartbeat, so its official that the constant hunger pains, nausea, and shortness of breath i've had for the past few months were actually for a dar n good reason!! We are so stinkin excited, nervous, scared, happy, and curious, and i am more than ready for all the advice you professional moms have to offer..because lets be honest..i havent a clue what were getting ourselves into. We wont find out the gender of our little rugrat for like another seven weeks so we have to be patient...but we both are leaning towards a boy. Anyways..kinda crazy but we really are so excited!!

missin my family
