I got an itch

The other day I was talking to my sister- this is how the conversation went.
Me: Hey Kristen, you will never guess what happened today
Kristen: What, you got a big itch and decided to update your blog?
Me: Um, no.

Well today I got the itch.

And there is alot that needs to be updated.


#1- Our new TV
Yes, we finally broke down and got a bigger tv. Well, not really but that's what we like to think. A couple of weeks ago I was coming home from some errands and I saw this sitting next to the dumpster. Part of me feels embarrassed that we keep finding all of these things by the dumpster. But when Kyle brought the t.v. in later to see if it worked- and it worked better than our other much smaller t.v.- I couldn't help but to feel quite proud of myself.

#2- Utah
We went to Utah a couple of weekends ago and it was wonderful. The weather was perfect, we got to see a lot of both families, we had family pictures (much to Kyle's dismay) and I had a baby shower. Needless to say we feel very blessed to have so much love and support from so many people.

#3- Rexburg Visitors
Last weekend we had some of our good friends from Rexburg drive all the way down here to spend Memorial Day weekend with us. We had everyday packed with things to do and I don't think that I have ever been so exhausted. But it was really fun!



One night we went to the strip. We stopped at my favorite part, the fountains at the Bellagio, and watched the water show. That day we also went to the shark reefs at the Mandalay Bay, and a good buffet.




On another day we went and visited the Hoover Dam- it was actually pretty cool



And then on Sunday we drove up to Kyle Canyon to get away from the heat. We didn't stay for as long as we wanted too but that is only because our picnic blanket was too small, and the ants were attacking us. I guess that is why people make reservations to get actual table and spots.

#4- 29.5 Weeks
The end is near- what a blessing. I am feeling like I want this baby to be here. Everybody says that the next 10 weeks are going to go by fast and I can only pray that they do. I don't know if they will though just because I feel her moving all of the time. So, as a result I am now constantly reminded that I have a baby inside of me. Whereas during my first and second trimester it wasn't like that. It's all good though. By the way, I am still measuring big.








#5- Privatizing ourselves
After much contemplation on this subject, we have decided to make our blog private. There are several reasons for this, which I won't go into right now. So, as of a month from tomorrow (July 1st) we are going to make our blog private. We still want our friends and family to look at our blog though, which is why we are making this change in a month from now. Please give us your info so we can put you on the list and sorry if it is inconvenient but it is just something we feel like we need to do.
This is Kyle saying, "If you send us your stuff so you can look at our private blog, all of your wildest dreams will come true!!"

You're looking really cute in your pictures, Amanda, but has anyone pointed out that something big seems to be growing on the front of your once tiny tummy? I know everyone else is probably just too polite to point it out, but don't you worry - I have a little, pink quilt that I think should be able to cover that right up! Ten or so more weeks, you say? Okay, I will stitch a little faster...

Kristen&company said...

ok I guess I'll be the honest one once again. What are sisters for. I personally think the last month or two are the hardest ones. I don't get really sick but the last month or so you are so big and uncomfortable that everything seems to be harder. Hopefully it is different for you. That is what finally makes me decide that having the baby is better than carrying the baby! Love ya have a great day1

Loved your post! Especially the part about my wildest dreams coming true! I am a total Napoleon fan! Thanks for the thank-you card. It's such a treat to get something in the mail addressed to me instead of the bishop! :) I think that I'm going to make my blog private too. Do you mind if I steal your idea? :)

Hey congrats with everything, I remember when we had just had Kyden and you guys were so nice (maybe you felt like you had to cause Kyle was our home teachers) but you were still nice to come and bring us dinner. Pretty soon you will know how nice that feels when you don't have to cook. Thanks guys, we would like to stay in touch. Steadyem@yahoo.com Ours is private too!
