You Know You Are Large and In-Charge When. . .

• People no longer ask you how far along you are, rather they ask "When are you due? As if you are going to pop at any second.
• A lady at church says, "How much longer do you have?" I reply "Nine weeks" She says "oh I looked back at you during Relief Society and remember the days when I was that uncomfortable, hang in there!"
• Random men everywhere ask me when I am due. WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?!?
• I had a pedicure done at the beginning of July, which is still on, due to the fact that it is really squishy and uncomfortable to bend that far over to take it off.
• I was at Hobby Lobby today and was trying to open the door while taking the shopping cart through at the same time. A lady says "do you need my help?" I said "oh I think I've got it." She replies by saying "Oh, I remember those days. That's not very fun!"

What are you supposed to say to these things?? I know I am big. I know that I am uncomfortable. I know that I have to get out of bed to pee 3-4 times a night. I KNOW all of these things, I don't need the general public reminding me.

Anyway, the pregnancy is going well. We have about eight weeks left. We are so excited to have her here, mostly just so we can hold her in our arms, but also because it means we will have more visitors!!

Our Weekend with Holli

We had our first visitor! Cory's mom came last week and stayed with us for five days. We were able to go see the many sites of Albuquerque and traveled up to Santa Fe (which was one of the dumbest places we have ever been!) We had fun going to new restaurants, shopping for the baby (as if she isn't spoiled enough;), and exploring new places. It was so nice to have a familiar face here. So if anyone else wants to come you are more than welcome!

A church we visited in Santa Fe.

Who would have thought that the world's longest tram is in Albuquerque?!? This tram takes you 2.7 miles up the mountain. When we got to the top all we could see was clouds, but it cleared up right before we went down.

Here we are at the top!!

The sunset was beautiful when we got to the bottom.

Don't be grossed out! These are our new friends. Cockroaches! They come out at night and there are tons of them on the sidewalks and driveways. They are disgusting little creatures. I am fine if they stay outside. Cory keeps teasing me that I am going to go in Jordyn's room and there will be on crawling on her face!! I swear if that happens, so help me!!

Home Sweet Home

Here is the front of our home. All the houses on the street were built in 1950 and they all look alike.


This is our backyard; complete with a patio, shed, and 18 fruit trees. Yes you read that right I said 18! They have plums, pears, and nectarines.

This is the view when you first walk in the house. Our lovely family room.

Another angle of the family room.

Our little dining room.

Our kitchen, it is quite big. . . but I couldn't get on a good angle for the picture.

The spare bedroom for anyone who would like to visit the sweet city of Albuquerque! This room also serves as our mini-office.

Jordyn's room, the first room that was put together! Complete with bedding made by my amazing mom.

Another part of Jordyn's room. Now all we need is for her to be here. Nine weeks!

And last but not least, our bedroom.

Hope you enjoyed the tour! New Mexico is quite a different place but we are going to make the best of it. And who knows. . . it may grow on us!

We are here!!

Well we have made it to New Mexico! We have got the house all put together and Cory started school today. It is a lot different down here and every day I realize that I loved the Utah bubble that I grew up in;) Anyway, things have been crazy but I will get pictures of the house up soon.

Happy Fourth of July

Cory and I spent the first part of the fourth in Park City with my mom, Sky, Alexis, and her boyfriend Gary.
We started the day off with breakfast in the park...


Followed by some cotton candy....



Then the Grand Parade on Main Street. It was HOT!!


Then it was off to the Alpine Slide and Zip Line, I got to stay at the bottom and be the designated photographer; due to the baby growing in my large belly!


At about four o'clock Cory and I headed back down to Salt Lake and met up with Trevor and Mckell. We went and ate at Cafe Rio and then we were off to the Salt Lake Bees Game. The game was fun but the fireworks were better! After the game we all decided to go back to my parents house for a midnight swim. We ended up swimming until 2 A.M.! Boy did that make me feel like I was in high school all over again.

All in all it was a great holiday. We are so grateful to live in the beautiful country!

Fun in Park City!!

The week of the fourth of July my mom rented out a condo in Park City. So my mom, Sky, and I went and had a lot of girls bonding time. We got pedicures and manicures, we went shopping. . . A LOT, we also ate A LOT, and had fun talking.

Here is me and Sky in our twinner outfits!

It was a lot of fun spending time with my mom and Sky; I wish all of the other sisters could have come:(

Cutest Nephew EVER!!!

Back in May Cory and I were able to go down to Arizona. We stayed with my sister, Briana and her little family. The other day I was going through the pictures on my camera and found the cutest pictures of my nephew. I know I am a little bit biased, but isn't he the cutest thing you have ever seen?!?!

Bri, you have got one cute little boy! Now we can't wait to see what the next one will look like.

Only 25 more days!!!
