35 weeks


Well here I am. I feel like I look huge! My hands, feet and face are all in all...PUFFY! I think I have come to the conclusion that " A Good Nights sleep" is no longer part of my life:) But that's okay right because its all totally worth it.
I think about our little boy ALL THE TIME and cant help but smile.
He is so my favorite!
My dr is wanting to start me a week early which would push my due date up to October 10th(25days away!). We will see for sure at this next weeks appt!
I almost cant believe this is actually happening to me, Im having a baby and im going to be a mom! Ah! Can life get any better?

APPLE PIE!


I have never really been a pie person, especially not ones with fruit in them. I would have rather had cake or ice cream or cookies or something, chocolate.And maybe its because my family has never really had a passion for pies either. But ever since I started dating Brady I have realized how delicious pie can be. His family makes wonderful fruit pies( especially grandma and Dave). Apple pie now lies right up there as one of my top five desserts, I love it! Ever since Brady and I got married I have been dying to learn how this pie is put together. I asked his grandma if she would teach me, and yesterday was the big day. I learned how to make apple pie, how grand! And ya know it was not near as hard as I thought it would be. I think I could even do it by myself. I am so glad that I now know how to make a delicious apple pie:)


And here we have an apple pie. Made especially for me, by me:)

Baby update:

I dont have a picture but I am currently a little over 33 wks along. Everything is going well. I have been swelling alot but that is the only bad thing and its not even bad, i actually find it quite funny. My feet can get quite puffy and my wedding ring doesnt fit any more( not funny part). Our little guy kicks all the time and I love it:). I am starting to go to the dr every two weeks. I am just so grateful to be pregnant and cant wait for this little boy of ours.

our latest projects.


Since moving in to this house that we are renting in North Ogden its been a huge push to get everything ready for our little baby boy.

Biggest News of the Summer!!!!


Brady is a college graduate!!!! He now has his Bachelors in Quantitative Economics with minors in math and accounting.
His last test was on August 5th!
Since there is not really a graduation ceremony for summer graduates I didnt want the day to be too anti climatic. I went and got Brady a book called Freakonomics that he has wanted for awhile and some balloons. Brady loves Ice cream cakes so my dad was so kind to pick one up for me so Brady could have it when he got home from work.
Once my dad got home with the cake I checked it out and realized it said "Happy Birthday Brady" Instead of Congratulations or Happy Graduation Brady. My mom then asked him if he knew that that's what it said and he replied with "Then whose Birthday is it?". Ha ha my cute dad, he was just doing what he was told. We laughed pretty hard. What's even better is that Brady didnt even notice what it said, he was so excited to eat it. He even sang Happy birthday to himself before he knew what it said. It was perfect, we couldnt stop laughing. The lucky guy got a second birthday party this year I guess.

I am so proud of Brady and I love him very much.
Happy Graduation/ Birthday to you:)


House in Henefer


The weekend right after Lava we went right out to Henefer with my family to stay at my Dad's friends home out there.Jamie and her four kids came out from New Mexico to play with us. which made it even more fun!
We did alot of four wheeling



Brady and I put together our own "Wipe Out" course for the kids. It turned out to be a big hit. Even the adults wanted to participate.

One night while we were there we went to a delicious restaurant called Taggarts for my brother Kade's Birthday. Happy birthday Kade!
We had a real good time with the fam, always do!

Lava Hot Springs

At the end of July we went to Lava Hot Springs with the Griffin Family. I am super sad and feel so bad that I dont have any pictures of this way fun trip with the fam.
It was fun to have Ben and Jenn there with us this year, we had everyone there except for Tanner:(.
We had a ton of fun. We did some swimming, a croquet tournament, some minute to win it challenges, some tubing down the river(Brady not me), lots of yummy food, and a lot of good bonding time with the family.
I just love being with the Griffins! Oh and did I mention that I was the speed scrabble tournament champ?... for a time anyway. I had the privilege of possessing the "Scrabble tie" for a night. Then Jenn somehow swiped the tie from me on our last night there. Way to go Jenn!
