Our New House!

This baby is coming soon!! I've been nesting like a mad woman!! I'm just so glad to be in our new house but feel like I still have so much to do! I have managed to put out Halloween and Fall decorations. However, Christmas may be another story.

Michael Phelps... Watch Out!

We've had Drew in survival swimming lessons for a couple of months now. It's a 3 week course and now we are doing maintenance which is just one day a week until Nov. Lessons are only 10 minutes long! It is really amazing to see what these little guys can do! Here he is jumping off the diving board to his teacher Pam. He can jump in and immediately roll over onto his back and float in his "safe place" which is what they teach them.

He actually prefers to wear the goggles. He has sensitive eyes which his teacher says she finds quite common with redheads! :) He loves it! He'll tell me in the mornings "I want to go swimming with Pam".

Townhouse for Sale! We're Moving to a House!

We are selling our townhouse! Just thought I'd post some pics in case anyone knows someone that is looking in Orem. We are asking $274,000. It's 2106 sq feet with a finished basement, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and also a half bath. It is an end unit which is also nice. Knotty alder kitchen, tile, oversized jetted tub, bronze fixtures, 3 tone paint, we also put beadboard/wainscotting in the nursery which is an added bonus. We are sad to leave all of our great friends, neighbors and ward. However, I am super excited to move to a house with a yard!!

High School Reunion- Class of 1989!!

I had my 20 year (yes 20 gulp!) high school reunion this summer and I was 6 months pregnant! It was a lot of fun to see old friends and see how much everyone has changed or hasn't changed ( some people were still living in 1989!). My pics for some reason are not showing up very well on here. The quality is really poor but you still get the idea. This is my friend Tina who was the drill team leader with me. We were reinacting our pose for the yearbook! My prom date Jeff who stood me up for my Senior Prom. Actually, he came down with food poisioning the night before and couldn't take me to the dance. So, since I never had a prom picture this is our prom pic but only 20 years later!!

My friend Kalisa who I've known since I was in 4th grade (we used to tell everyone we were twins, until I started to outgrow her!) and my friend Rindy.

My "girls". We still get together once a year after all this time! This is us before heading out to the reunion which by the way was at a bar complete with a mechanical bull. Yes, it was pure white trash if you know what I mean! :)

My Birthday Present!

My husband thought I was crazy when I told him I wanted one of these cute bikes. Now, I just need to get a white basket and I'll be all set. Isn't it so cute!! The fun part was watching him and Drew ("I help mama's bike") put it together! Wade calls it a "Donski" (his nickname for me) bike. I guess it will look pretty hilarious riding it with my big pregnant belly. I am just going to pretend I am riding in the South of France with fresh tulips and a baguette in my white basket.

A few more birthday pics!

Daddy wouldn't let me eat it by myself... he didn't want me to get messy! That's what it's all about dad! Getting a little help blowing out the candles. I put these in the wrong order. Oh well!

The anticipation!

He's got that look in his eye.....

Drew's Elmo Birthday Party!

Thanks to all of our friends and family who came to Drew's 2nd birthday party! We had it at the new Lindon Aquatic Center. He got lots of fun presents and he had a great time! We hope you did too!

The cake! He was spitting on the candles trying to blow them out! Good thing I had cupcakes for everyone else! :)

Elmo treat bags with elmo bubbles, pack of elmo crayons and an elmo book
