"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Things I am loving....

Just a few things that I am loving right now....


Me at 32 (almost33) weeks
I'm not loving my belly so much but...I am loving the fact that as of tonight at 12:01 I can offically say that I'm "having the baby next month!" Nothing gets better than that!




I'm loving the fact that we just got Dish Network ( a lot cheaper than what I thought) and that I can record shows and never have to deal with commercials again!! FREEDOM!!

I am also loving the fact that this time of year in Houston is so pretty. All the wildflowers are starting to bloom EVERYWHERE! My trip to wal-mart has all of a sudden become a lot prettier!

Silly Girl

She must have eaten way too much candy on Easter!!

There are many ways to use an Easter basket after Easter has passed!



Fun in the Sun!

Here is a picture of our little swimming beauty! She loves the pool! We are lucky enough to have one in our backyard (especially now that I feel like I weigh a ton!)
The bottom two pictures are of our little bare bum girl! Saturday was such a nice day (and with the pool heated up to 90 degrees) we lived in the pool all day! Carly wasn't naked the whole day though, that would stink if she got a sunburn on her bum!

Happy Easter!


Her favorite things that the Easter bunny brought!

A few pictures of Carly and Adam in the Rhino. They were actually playing nice with eachother!

Carly finding more eggs at another egg hunt we had on easter day. She got a cute Elmo basket from Mimi and Pee Paw. She didn't put that thing down once it was given to her!

Easter Egg Hunt!

Here are some pictures at an easter egg hunt that naw Naw (Chad's Grandma) had at her house yesterday. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect!!



A short clip of her finding one of the eggs. She was funny to watch!

Easter Pictures

Here are some pictures I took. These are ones that I haven't edited. She cooperated for most of them but towards the end she was letting me know that she was done!






Easter Pictures!

Well, here are some more attempts at some pictures. It's amazing what photo editing can do!!









Sprinkler Time!

Yesterday was such a nice day outside. I was outside with Carly while she was swinging and sliding on her new toy and it actually got somewhat hot!! So I figured it would be fun for her to play in the sprinklers. It was a big hit, she played in the water for a half hour!!

Hello?

Carly was talking on her phone that came with the Kitchen set. We can't get her to talk on real phone to real people though :)

Saturday project

This was our saturday project. We finally planted flowers. We have been wanting to do it for a while but have just been waiting for the weather to warm. Carly cooperated with us and took a nice nap so we were able to get it all done.

New Toys


The past couple weeks we have been looking for some fun toys for Carly (and eventually the new baby) We tried ebay but nothing really panned out, so we turned to Craigs List. We found these two new toys for a steal. They were sold by the same person. The kitchen set was going to be for her birthday but I couldn't wait so we gave it to her early. The other one is so she has something to play with outside instead of putting all her interest into the pool!

Pictures of our trip

Okay, i've posted A LOT of pictures!! Above is a picture Chad took on our snowmobile trip. It was so pretty!
Carly playing on the steps at a little market they had there.

Carly reading with MiMi.
Carly and Chad. Chad was able to Ski alsmot two full days. He had a lot of fun! I wish I could've but unfortuanatly it's not wise for pregnant women (who've only skiied twice in their life) to ski.

Carly and I at the house.

Pictures at the airport and on the airplane.

Snowmobiling




Chad and I were able to take a morning and go snowmobiling (thanks to everyone at the house who kept an eye on Carly for us!) It was really fun, I had never done that before. We ended up driving about 36 miles (one way) to this little town called Warren. The population is 9 during the winter and about 30 during the summer. They have this holein the wall place to eat. When I first walked in I was pretty skeptical on the kind of food they would serve, but it turned out to be pretty good! The drive back was so great because the sun was shining so it wasn't too cold. I can't wait to do it again!


Sledding

We found a little spot that was great for sledding that wasn't too far from the house. It was fun, I haven't done that in forever! Carly really liked it especially since she didn't have to do any of the work!

The place we stayed

These were pictures of the outside of the house we stayed in in Idaho. We didn't get any pictures of the inside though but it was a beautiful home. There was so much snow piled up and it also snowed one day while we were there! Carly didn't know what to think at first but after she figured out she could eat it she loved it!

playing outside

These were some pictures taken before we left for Idaho. Don't you love her clothes. Chad thought they would be good playclothes and after seeing the price I did too! Dollar bargains at Wal-mart are great!!
