It has been a very busy two weeks!

After a year and three months, we finally cracked open the top tier of our wedding cake.  It had lasted a year in Sherry's freezer and a couple months in Grandma's freezer.. haha

Ste and I both finished our internships! The second to last day of mine we went to this cool place called Wild Wonders with the girls from the hospital. It was so fun.  We got to interact with a lot of different animals like a tortoise, parrots, snakes, lizards, skunk, raccoon, bobcat/linx mix, coyote, foxes, chinchilla, ferrets... It was awesome!

Last Sunday, Lindsea and her family came down to help prepare for Rissa's reception. It was so good to see those little kids before they head off to Illinois.

Despite what these pictures show, Hudson LOVED the bowling alley haha Crazy little kid

Stewart finished his ceramics class and brought home a ton of fun things!! He made bowls, cups, bottles, a q-tip holder, and a spoon holder for the stove.

Can you guess what this is from?

We had a fun week with my family in town.  My family threw me a baby shower... little did Lindsea know it was for her too since Kassidy came early and screwed everything up for a shower haha  It was a lot of fun, though!! While Lindsea was here she took some maternity pictures for me which I will post later in its own post :)


I graduated last Friday! Woo! Weird to be done but so happy! These five people were definitely five of the most supportive people throughout the last few years (not everyone who was super supportive, though).  I am so grateful for my family and their willingness to sit through graduation, and Stewart to sit through both days of graduation.  I am so happy he convinced me that I should walk.  I enjoyed seeing a lot of girls from my major that I haven't see all summer.

Saturday was Rissa's reception.  We didn't get much time to talk to people since we were put in charge of keeping the food full and getting the music ready for all the special dances and events. It was still fun, though!

Ste's sister, Jenner, and her family came to visit and we got to see them for a couple days.  We went to BYU campus, out to eat, Discovery Gateway, Bean Museum, and a lot more. It was good to finally meet the rest of her kids!

Stewart and I went up to Park City for a couple nights.  It was so much fun! After a very busy last week or so we were ready for some time to play just us two, especially since we know this time is limited.  We did a really cool hike where we got to ride the ski lift back down for free. We got stuck in the clouds which was pretty cool.  We also brought some quality snacks for the top of the hike.

It was such a nice couple days! Now we are taking a couple days then heading to California to see his parents and go to San Diego!

 Well, I am now 24 weeks! I have noticed people are starting to stare at my belly when they see my and I have gotten plenty of people touching it without asking.  It is a lot of fun seeing her kick and move! It always seems to distract me from whatever I am doing- I just don't want to miss any!

This is what I see when I am at work

Stewart is in a ceramics class at BYU and he is making all kinds of cool bowls, bottles, and cups that we get to keep! I am so excited to see all his finished products and be able to use them!  He taught me (well, tried) how to throw on the wheel.  It was a lot harder than I thought it would be and have so much more respect for people who are good at it!  Here he is working on trimming one of the many bowls he made for our kitchen.

At the hospital they have a ceramics shop but all the patients get to do is paint molds that the staff made.  The instructor wanted to make sure the Rec Therapy staff knew how to do everything so she let us do a project.  I did this little turtle piggy bank. Not anything close to how impressive Ste's stuff is

We have been golfing more recently.  I am actually getting a lot better so it is more enjoyable for the both of us! It is a nice physical activity that doesn't wear me out (besides the times I lay on the ground waiting for the people in front of us to finish).  

It's a....

Most of you already know... but.... 

Here is an update on how everything is going:

Ever since I started Prilosec a couple weeks ago, my heartburn and nausea have gone away! Thank goodness! I can finally enjoy the foods I want again! Kind of celebrated this with a nice big Rancherito's burrito.. Yummm

She was measuring about 10 days further along.. so maybe she will come 10 days early?? Wishful thinking..

She sure is a busy little girl.  She will move around at around 6am.  I will lay on my side and it feels like she is jumping from my hip to my ribs.  For some reason, she LOVES the right side-even when I am standing up.  Sometimes I literally have to try and push her because there just isn't enough room for her to squirm about on my side! It has been fun to see my belly move when she kicks or moves around, kinda freaky at the same time.  haha

As far as names go-no, we don't have any. Well, I guess we have like 30 we are trying to choose from. haha Still kinda difficult for us to figure that out. But hey, we have four months left to do that.

I haven't had any strange cravings at all.  Mostly, I see or eat a little of something and just want it really bad.  One time a girl was eating some really greasy chips at work and I was going to the store after work so I grabbed a bag.  I opened the bag as I was leaving the store and almost ate it all by the time I was home... There was also a time we drove past Krispy Kreme and I said, "Man, if that hot sign was on, I would totally go get one."  So Ste had me turn around and we went and got a couple donuts.  I ate the first one and was going to save the second one (a chocolate icing one with kreme filling-my fav) but Ste took a bite out of it.... And I kinda-ish yelled, "What are you doing??"  He told me he is has never met anyone who is more competitive over food.  Then I got pregnant and it just got worse.  Mac and cheese has kinda been my go-to meal this pregnancy.  Mostly because it was the only thing I could eat.  The last couple weeks I haven't had too much of it just because I have missed other foods.  But cheese in general has definitely been a big part of my diet.  Actually, dairy has.  Like two bowls of cereal every day, yogurt, string cheese, white cheddar popcorn... And most of our dinners include cheese, too.

I am certainly love being pregnant.  I have kinda forgotten what it felt like throwing up almost every day, but maybe that's a good thing so I will have more children.

4th of July Weekend

 On the morning of the 4th Grandma and Grandpa had a family breakfast with some delicious french toast, butter syrup, lots of other goodies, and lots of family!

We were lucky enough to go to Stadium of Fire!!! It was so cool and a ton of fun!! I love Carrie Underwood so I was really excited :)

Stewart enjoying some Carrie Underwood

Saturday night we went on a date to Trafalga to play some mini golf and Stewart did the batting cages.  He was surprised at how good I was at the indoor blacklight mini golfing and knew he couldn't just make it easy on me.  When we got to the outdoor one, I started to do a ton worse.... haha It was a lot of fun though!

I am now 21 weeks! Over halfway now!!
