Happy Birthday Mom!!

This week we celebrated my beautiful mothers 50th, or as we called it her "special" birthday. I did my best to try and make it special for her. She is not the type to want a big party with attention on her. She just wanted to spend the day with her family.

We wanted to pamper my mom so we started by putting her in a detox bath with Epson salt, baking soda, and ground ginger. Then we headed over to my house and I made crepes with nutella, strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream. Yum!

After our yummy lunch I gave my  mom a facial. Erin followed that up with a great manicure and pedicure. While we were pampering my mom we watched about 4 hours of Anne of Green Gables. It was a great afternoon!

Once my dad and David got off work we made nachos and ate dinner out on our deck. After dinner we ate a yummy chocolate lava cake and some ice cream.

After dinner we had a little family photo shoot and went for a great walk!

I hope my mom had a great birthday. If anyone knows us you know that my mom and me are very close. She is my best friend! She has always been such a great example to me and I love her so much.

Happy birthday mom!

I'm Home!

So this last semester was pretty tough. The plan was for me and David to move in with my grandma for two months while I finished up the last term of school. This plan was foiled however when we got this great opportunity to rent this little two bedroom home in the mountains of Morgan that was perfect for us. So David moved to Morgan and I moved in with my grandma and we only saw each other on the weekends.

School was pretty tough. It was a term instead of a whole semester so everything was crammed into half the time. Work also became pretty stressful. My work was being sued by this crazy ex-client and it was causing all sorts of problems.

All I wanted was to be done with school and work and live with my husband again. I thought those seven weeks were never going to end! I was so sad and stressed out all the time. I know I just sound like a huge complainer but it was tough for me.

The great news is that it is all over! I finally made it. I am officially done with college and I'll have a Bachelors Degree in Family Studies from BYU. I'm so proud of myself. I will officially graduate and walk in August.

Now I live with David again and I can focus on our baby! I'm loving living in Morgan. Both David's and my parents live less than ten minutes away. David's brother and his wife and baby are also moving to Morgan so we can see them a lot more too.

All in all life is going great and I'm so happy!

Lagoon!

I love Lagoon. David and I  have gone several times and we just have a blast. We didn't think that we'd be able to go this year since I was pregnant and we didn't think it would be worth it to spend the money on tickets when I couldn't ride many rides. Fortunately David's mom Teresa had some discounted tickets and because they were going camping the week they were valid they gave them to us! We invited my mom and sister to come along with us. Even though I couldn't do much it was so much fun.

This is my mom's most favorite ride. It is so fun to hear her yelling and laughing during it!

After Lagoon we go to stop and visit David's sister Lysney and her new baby boy Henry! He is beautiful and  I'm so excited he is apart of our family.

I am getting more and more excited for my baby. David set up our crib the other day and we are getting our nursery put together. I have four months left. It feels like it is taking forever but I know she will get her before we know it. Can't wait!
