24 Weeks and Growing Rapidly~

This is my baby belly @ 6 months... we are definitely poking out there, or as Grandpa Morley would say , "You are BULGING!" Thanks Grandpa... :) I guess there really is no other way to describe it!

I can't believe we are already this far.... we only have 15 weeks to go according to my doctor.... Pregnancy has had it's ups and downs but the last few weeks I have had some intense back pain that all but had me in tears on Monday, so I called my doctor and the nurse referred me to an Orthopedist- I had some physical therapy done... they popped my back and had me do some stretches and a little massaging, then she tapped it really well for support and I have felt TEN TIMES better ever since. She told me that I had a few discs that were a little of and it's very possible that my uterus is resting on a nerve that's making me uncomfortable!!! Oh the joys of being pregnant I guess!!!! SOOO- I get to go back in the morning and have it all done again and then we should be set for awhile.

He is still a kicker- HE NEVER STOPS it seems and I love it..... I hope I am still saying that in a month or two as he gets bigger! :) We had some fun the other night watching the little guy move all over.. It's so amazing how much joy he has already brought into our lives and he's not even here yet! :)

Awsome Spring Snow~

A few weeks ago Bry was able to spend Saturday snowmobiling and snowboarding with Paul McKay and his boys.... They had such a good time and Bryan describes the snow as "INCREDIBLE"- "Best he's ever seen this time of year!" They literally went all day long, and were fortunate enough to have amazing weather. It looked like TONS of fun, and I wish I could've gone... unfortunately two factors played into why I could not.... #1. It was back-country and although I am a GREAT snowboarder (haha) I don't think the skills I have are back-country ready!! #2. I am 6 months pregnant and not wanting to be in labor QUITE yet!!

Love Bird Tag~

A week or two ago Sara tagged me- but due to our busy life I have not had a real chance to sit down and do it so...... here goes....... hope you all enjoy. :)

1. Where did you and your husband meet? We were in the same singles ward, we were neighbors, and we were in the same FHE (family home evening) group. Bryan's calling at the time was FHE "Dad"... we initially met at the first FHE activity of the year.. school had just started and my roommates and I were brand new in the ward. We went to Bryan's house for a bon fire and to play games... GOOD TIMES!

2. First thing said? Bryan initiated the conversation. He asked me where I was from and that began great conversation that continued for a couple of hours.

3. First Date? Our first date will vary depending on who you ask. SO- seeing as how I am the one doing the tag.. I will go ahead and share MY version.... I was working at Ruby Tuesday as a server and Bryan has asked me out.. I told him I had to work that night, but should be getting off around 6 or 7. He said great and gave me his phone number with instructions to call him at that number when I got off and we'd go from there. That was the longest night at work of my LIFE... when I got home I changed my clothes and called the # HE GAVE ME.... he didn't answer and I got his voice mail (it was his cell phone)... about an hour later I tried one more time and once again got his VOICE MAIL... I couldn't decide if he was standing me up or if he had forgotten- which, in my book, were both BIG RED CHECK MARKS..... an hour after that- he called me- confused- and TO THIS DAY I am not sure what really happened but he CLAIMS that I called the wrong #- he says that he gave me his APARTMENT number cause his cell phone wasn't working at the time.... in his defense he was very embarrassed and apologetic- ANYWAY- we proceeded to go to dinner and then caught a late show- Polar Express to be exact, where we had the whole theatre to ourselves... it was great- Bry was very funny and we laughed a ton... we hung out daily from then on.

4. First Kiss? Our first kiss was at Bryan's house on the couch, we had gone for a walk- it was December but it was a fairly warm night and to top it off it was a full moon- so it was beautiful.. When we got back to his house I was a bit cold so we went inside to get warm before he took me home. We sat down on the couch and looked at each other- then he just kissed me- greatest kiss ever!!!!!!

5. Where did you get engaged? It was the 4th of July and we drove the four wheeler to the top of hill near Bryan's parents house- When on top- we could see all the fireworks from all the surrounding towns. On the way up as the sun was setting Bryan stopped and said alot of sweet things that made me a little teary eyed.. and then pulled the box out of his pocket.. and said "Here ya go.." I laughed and said, " I think your supposed to put it on me, HE WAS SOOO NERVOUS he was shaking... about this time we were being eaten alive by mosquito's! (very romantic) so I said let's put it on when we get to the top.... so Laughing we drove the rest of the way to the top and he put it on me there where we shared a sweet kiss. We then watched fireworks that were amazing.. something I will always remember!!

6. Where were you married? In the Logan Temple on September 16, 2005 - THE WHOLE WEEKEND couldn't have been more perfect...


7. Where did you honeymoon? After our reception in Burley we drove to Sun Valley and spent a few days there... then we spent the remainder of our honeymoon at Redfish Lake in a cute little cabin. We rented a small boat and explored the Lake and went on some Beautiful hikes.... The weather was great, couldn't have asked for better.

*Bryan is my best friend- I am so lucky to have found him and to have him in my life... I love you honey- thanks for being you!!!

****NOW I AM TAGGING- Jen Smith, Jen Roth, Sage Hanks, And Sara K.

Way to go Bugz!

I just wanted to tell Jenna and the rest of the Burley High School
Cheerleaders- GREAT JOB!!! Congratulations on winning competition they took first place.... aren't they cute!!!! I'm so proud of you Jen... You've worked really hard this year and had a lot of responsibility, but you've done a great job and you guys looked fantastic! LOVE YOU TONS!!!!!





These are my girls!!!! Aren't they all so cute! I love 'em to death! We had a great time- on the way to Boise we realized that NONE of us were sporting BHS colors so we bought some cheap St. Patty's Day neclaces.. They were the perfect GREEN- so we figured we did our part in showing some spirit- not to mention the DARLING posters that Jordan made to help cheer on our cheerleaders!!!

21 Weeks and Counting!

FINALLY- we can see a baby bulge! We are 21 weeks this week! I can't believe that we are half way already- It has been a rough go, but it's going surprisingly fast. I can feel the little guy move CONSTANTLY.. I often feel like I have a mini roller coaster in my stomach.... On Sunday I was able to SEE the moving from the outside for the first time. I was sitting on the couch at Grandma Arda's and I looked down thinking-He is moving so much I can't believe I can't SEE it.. and right then one small area of my tummy poked out and I felt it as well so I new it was him.... HOLY COW I said- I tried to poke him back and get him to move again so that Bry and Arda could see but I think it wore him right out.... he didn't move for about an hour after that!

Till Next Season.....

Monday was the last Aggie game of the season at home... Aggie Basketball is the highlight of our winter- we live for the games. This is my Niece Anna and I at Monday's game- She LOVES to make faces for the camera! We had such a good time- This year was especially fun considering their incredible winning streak - 17 consecutive home wins!! WAY TO GO AGGIES- Good Luck in the next few games AWAY from home- Thanks for a great season!!!!!
