3rd Trimester!

Holy moly! I can't believe that I am in my 3rd trimester already, 2/3 done. WEIRD. I can't wait for my little baby to get here, so I can hold him. He is going to be so cute!

Funny story. I was at work last night and I was checking on one of our residents and he wanted to talk, so I sat and talked with him for a little. He was saying something about my cute little baby and I said back to him "I sure hope he is cute because I won't know what to do if he isn't" and he got very serious and took me by both my hands and gave me a big long speech about how my baby will be cute because he will be MY baby! It was very cute! Just a couple minutes after that he was put his hand on my tummy and then pulled it off really quick and said "excuse me, sorry, I don't know if you want me to do that but I just can't help myself." I sure will miss seeing those people every week.

I am 28 weeks pregnant! Only 83 days to go. He is about 2 1/4 pounds, equal in weight to a Chinese cabbage :) The baby has dropped a little within the last week. My back, hips and ribs have started hurting really bad lately. I took my Glucose test at the Dr this week and passed it! I have started on projects for the nursery, the room is not quite ready to move stuff in yet but I am almost finished the mobile and started the bunting I am going to hang around his room. I have the fabric I am going to use for his bedding, I just have figure out exactly what I am going to do and start on it!

I have another baby shower tomorrow and then another one next weekend... this baby is going to be spoiled!! I will keep everyone updated!

Sawyer Brown!

Josh and I went to the Sawyer Brown concert at the Scera Shell Outdoor Theater in Orem.

We tried to go to a Deirks Bentley and Sawyer Brown concert in May but It was an outdoor concert too and it was so cold and rainy and miserable that Josh and I ended up leaving before anyone started playing. I was so sad, I cried like the whole way home.

Last night was so much fun it made up for missing the concert in May! It still rained most of the time, but it was warmer and we had chairs this time so we didn't get quite as wet. Josh didn't understand why I was so excited for this concert, but just ask anyone in my family, Sawyer Brown is the BEST concert ever. They have been together 30 years and you can tell that they still love what they do. Just watch this Music Video, that is how the concerts are still. So Fun!

The lead singer still dances like he does in the video. They usually sprinkle talcum powder on the stage where the microphone is so that he can dance around, but last night the stage was wet from the rain so he didn't need the powder to dance around.

Most of my best memories I have growing up revolve around Sawyer Brown. My mom had an out patient surgery scheduled on the same day as one of their concerts. Once she was out and feeling ok, we packed up the car and drove to Ogden for the concert and my mom danced her heart out the whole concert!

Josh and I had so much fun, a great Pioneer Day Celebration!

We had been saving up our money for quite some time for this purchase! It is well worth it! Some how we didn't take any pictures of ourself on our date though, We need to get better at that!

It also means that I might blog more, maybe :)

Here are just some pictures from playing around with it during the first week of having it! Mostly pictures of our crazy dog, and our trip to Bear Lake.
