Nathan's Birthday Weekend

This year for Nathan's birthday weekend we went and stayed in Evanston with my family.  We drove down early on Friday and went to the Evanston homecoming football game where we got to watch my brother play.  On Saturday my dad drove us down to Salt Lake to go to the afternoon session of General Conference.  We went with my brothers, Todd and Nathan, while my dad and sister hung out around Salt Lake.  It was a great session and, as always, a great experience to see it live!  After conference we went to Park City and ate at Cafe Rio.  When we got home that night we celebrated Nathan's birthday with cupcakes and he got to open a present.  He thought very hard about his wish, so I hope it was a good one.  I think Nathan's favorite part of his whole birthday was getting to smash his face in his cupcake.  Sunday morning we drove home to have dinner and hang out with Nathan's family.  Overall it was a really great weekend!

Fun with my brothers... the "cool" pose?

Thanks Nathan

I'm glad I have a husband that makes me laugh...

22 Weeks

22 Weeks and counting!  Only 18 weeks left (approximately)!  I pretty much went from my normal size to whale size over a period of about two days.  It is really weird!  One day there was no bump, now it is huge and continuing to grow.  

We had our "It's a boy" ultrasound and the doctor said he has long skinny legs and a Buddha belly... so pretty much an exact replica of Nathan when he was a baby.  

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I was looking forward to summer break so Nathan and I could see more of each other but it kind of went the opposite direction!  Nathan and I have both been extremely busy the last few weeks.  I've been working 9:00-1:00, going to TA at the UW photo lab from 1:00-4:30, going to work out, then finally going home!  Whereas Nathan's schedule is work from 5:45-8:00 in the morning, doing the insanity workout at his parents from 8:30-9:30, working melaleuca during the day, work at the ARK from 4:00-8:00, and then softball games, basketball, meetings, etc. almost every night!  So we basically spend about one hour together in the evening before bed and that is it!  I guess this is good practice for next year when we'll both have full time school, jobs, and a baby.  We'll be a family of strangers!

Maternity Shopping

Today Nathan and I went down to Cheyenne to get some pregnancy clothes for me!  In the Motherhood Maternity store they provide a baby bump that you can try on to see how the clothes will fit.  Nathan and I had a lot of fun trying on our baby bellies.  I must say that Nathan makes a much more attractive pregnant person than I do.  Then we hung out with Sam and the kids for awhile.  And of course we took a ton of pictures of Carlee!  We're both getting a little bit worried that the more time we spend with Carlee, the uglier our baby is going to look to us when it is born!

Nathan's pregnant belly

A little lumpy, but it is the right idea.

Connor passed out

Cutest girl ever!!!

A Fun Visit

My brothers Kevin and Todd came down to Laramie for a visit.  Kevin just got done with a semester at BYU-Idaho and Todd was on spring break.  We went bowling, they helped me work on my young women's lesson (which was more fun than it sounds), and just hung out at our house.  It was a lot of fun having them here, they obeyed all the guest rules and didn't make Nathan mad too much of the time haha.  

Nathan doesn't like sharing the love-sac

Awww...

Springtime Fun

Nathan surprised me the day before Easter with my very own Easter basket.  He gave me flowers and strawberries in a really cute basket, he is such a great husband!  Later that day we went down to Cheyenne to help Sam and Kim move.  It took quite a while, but it was a lot of fun since we were spending time with the family!
