HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
Am I really 25 years old? How did I get to be this old? I still think I am 21 I have started to forget how old I am getting... not fun!
I was having kind of a downer day because I had to work on my birthday, it was during the week, and I just didnt feel very special you know. So Craig being the wonderful man that he is gave me the best birthday ever. For weeks I have been telling Craig that I want to take a nice long bubble bath (seeing as how being pregnant you cant get into hot tubs), and that I wanted to get away from where we live for a night. I didnt think that he was listening to me, but he continues to surprise me.
After I got home for work Craig told me to get ready and that we were going out, he told me to wear socks (meaning we were going bowling in mesquite). I thought that we would go to Mesquite bowl and eat then come home... but I was wrong. We got down to mesquite and went into the Casablanca (where I thought we were eating) he got in line to check into our room and totally surprised me (seeing as how I was just talking about staying the night just before we got into the hotel). He had a room already booked and ready for us. We then went to the best place to eat while being pregnant, thats right the buffet, it was so good I ate like 10 egg rolls and all the nachos and ice cream I wanted...it was so good. Then I got my bubble bath and nice relaxing jazz music I was in heaven. After I got an amazing night sleep we went home, it was such a nice night I am so greatful to be married to my best friend who continues to surprise and amaze me I love him.
The flowers I got on my birthday from my Honey, they are so beautiful.
My sister gave me her baby boy clothes to borrow yay so cute!
After we got back from Mesquite Craig and I worked on our mothers day gift and my bench project.
Remember my $3 bench I got at a yard sale? this is what it looked like before.
This is what it looks like now, we still have a ways to go but we are getting closer!
For Mothers day we went over to Craig's moms house on Monday for a nice dinner, it was great to have everyone together. I attempted to make a fruit flower bouquet, since mom is on the HGC diet this would be so much fun for her to eat, and I cant believe it turned out so good.
For my mom we made a picture frame that can house all of her picture she had on her corkboard, all she has to do is slide the pictures into there place and it looks so cute, plus we added part of her corkboard to post some of her letters from grandkids.
Craig likes to play with his food while we make it haha, he was such a big help though
Of course the men had to do a manly project... and that is when the tire swing was born.
And the women... we put together a quilt for baby James, so cute!!
me sportin the beatles shirt at 8 months prego!! 
And even though we were camping on fathers day we still managed to bring up a german chocolate cake!
I love my dad, he has always been there for me, and I have been truly blessed to be his daughter!!
It wouldnt be camping with out fishing, I swear my Grandpa was in heaven when all the grandkids would come up and want to go fishing. With raising 4 girls my dad was always baiting and gutting the fish we caught, but I am surprised how gutsy my nieces and nephews are, they love to put the bait on themselves and are for sure not afraid of the fish.
The fish were tiny!!!
There was also alot ALOT of down time, which ment time for a little snooze... sorry Heidi I had to put this one on there.
Helping out with dinner.
Is Kayson really getting this big? He is almost taller than his mamma. I cant believe he is a deacon now time is flying!!
Me and my honey... Camping at 32 weeks pregnant was no piece of cake, I had to get up at least twice every night to go walk to the porta potty's and my cute honey would wake up with me so I wouldnt have to go alone... needless to say we didnt sleep much, but I am so grateful for him and his love for me.
They are just too cute!!
The originals... yep me and my mom often wear the same shirt haha!!
They thought they were peguins when the water was first being poured in to it!
Yep little spencer was such a big help
This was the beginning, with the finally stages being a big giant pool.
Being pregnant in the summer time having this pool has really helped to relax in and excercise in, since I cant get up at 5 am any more to go to the gym.
Not only was Emily baptised but so was her cousin on the Gunn side Abe.
My dad had to give a talk on the holy ghost which he did an amazing job... he is such a great speaker, no wonder they called him to be a high counsel men, someone needs to bring some humor to the third sunday.
My parents are so happy to be grandparents.
Yep snow, what a weird spring and summer that we are having I cant figure it out. We woke up to snow in the end of may... so weird.
While the boys were having fun bonding and laying tile Jen and I went shopping and played around, it was a blast. We went to all these cute little boutiques and baby shopping I loved it.
The hair coming off
"It's a girl" craig had to make sure he wasnt going to be taking anything off when he started trimming. (the cat was not hurt during this attempt).
look at how much weight she lost.
The end result, a bucket full of hair.
These are some pics of our ultrasound showing us that he is a boy and his little feet and face, so cute.
This is a better picture (well I know you cant see it very well) of his cute little face, I cant wait to meet him.
This is me at my sister Haileys graduation, 6 months pregnant. Sometimes I feel bigger than I am.
Next up my decorative vase idea... well it wasnt my idea I got it off of tencowchick.blogspot.com, but it was so easy to make and really got me in the spring time mood.
These are the only ones not finished but they will be once the baby comes. I bought these at a yard sale for .10 each, they were painted ugly blue and had ribbon around them, but instantly my creative juices were flowing and I had a plan to pait them black and put cute little black and white pictures of the baby's hands and feet in them . So cute I cant wait.
Next I couldnt forget about easter (or my HUGE sweet tooth) so I thought I would make rice krispy treats but shape in the form of easter eggs and them dip them in chocolate and sprinkles, they were yummy but hard because I had to harden the chocolate in the fridge, oh well still fun.
And what would spring time be without baseball? my answer would be nothing, but Craig would have a different answer. Craig promised me that he would go to a baseball game with me and he would bring a book to read, it was a great compromise, the only problem is that my little niece taylor and him had a bet of how many times I would have to go to the bathroom.... no funny.
And then nothing says bring on summer like a camp out. Due to the fact that we couldnt find anyone to substitute our primary class we could only go for the day while Craigs family braved it in the cold air to ring in spring. I forgot I had my camera until the end of the day when we were eating our tin foil dinners (which were amazing) and of course I forget the flash and miss my picture perfect moment.
So this is spring to me camping, baseball, and crafts love it cant wait to see what else it brings!!
