Lub Dub...Lub Dub

So, I went to another prenatal visit and I got to hear our baby's heart beat for the first time. It was very cool...and very weird at the same time. It took the doctor awhile to find it, but he finally did.

One More Thing

I forgot to mention that our baby is about 2 inches long, the size of a lime, and weighs about a quarter of an ounce.

9 weeks and 3 days

So, I thought it might be fun to put how our baby is doing each week. Here is what's going on currently. Our baby is now a fetus and the organs are continuing to develop, but are functioning. Our baby has a big fat head now. It takes up about half the size. Fingernails, toenails, and hair will start to grow. The fingers are no longer webbed. The baby is actively kicking and can swallow now. But no, I can't feel the baby yet.

Bryce Canyon

Dallin and I have had a request to post some of our pics that we took when we went to Bryce Canyon and Zion's National Park this last spring break. We are only going to put the best one on because it just takes too dang long to put a bunch. Hope you enjoy Beautyful Bryce Canyon. You better like it because I had too get up at the butt crack of dawn to take it!

Chad Interrogates

So, Dallin's brother, Chad, got to interview Idaho's senator Larry Craig. You will notice under the list of favorites sites the link to the news article. Check it out!

I have what doctor's call a little bit of a weight problem!

So, I had the worst shopping day of my life the other day. I wanted to find something nice to wear to my Grandpa's funeral because nothing I have in my closet in the black dept or even just neutral dept fits me anymore. So, I wondered to the Pocatello shopping mall where they have just the best shopping in all the world. I went into Maurices and started to fish through the racks for anything in the double digits. When I found some skirts that stuck out about 6 inches on either side of the hanger I thought, "These should definitely fit me." I went into the dressing room and proceeded to slip into the skirt. To my despair the skirt seemed to shrink right before my eyes as I approached the large protuberance right above my thunder thighs. Once I jerked it hard enough over my bum the next problem was zipping it up. By this time I've started sweating like a pig. The end result was least to be desirable. It just hugged me in all the wrong places. I was so glad to get it off me and back into my baggie sweats and big t-shirt. :) JK sort of. Then I hear the size 3 sales associate come to my dressing room and ask in her cutsy voice, "How did it work?" I lied and said, "It's a little bit too small." She then asked, "What size is it?" Like I'm going to tell her, so I lie once again and say, "It's a size 6." I don't think I've been a size 6 since 3rd grade. To top off the day, the only thing I bought was some Plus Size Nylons.
The End.

Happy Bird-day! (Like from The Office)

I wanted to give Mandy and Cathy a Happy Birthday blog. Cathy's birthday was on the 9th and she turned the Big Three O! I think it is pretty funny that she is 30 now. I'm the only young sibling left. I'm sure I'm going to hear about this soon. hehe. Mandy's Birthday is on Oct. 18th. Happy Birthday Mandy! I love you both oh so very much!

GO COLORADO ROCKIES!!!!!!

Fall Colors

Dallin and I went for a drive today to look at the beautiful fall colors surrounding Pocatello. There were so many trees that were vibrant in reds, oranges, and yellows. The mountains in the distance had snow all over them. We got to see some wild Turkeys. We took a bunch of pictures, hopefully I can post some for you all. It was nice to get out of church today and just relax in my sweats all day and watch conference. We should have general conference more often. I think I will write the prophet and let him know that.

Friday night Dallin and I drove up to Blackfoot for his neice, Mya's, 2nd birthday. It was fun to see family. She has three older brothers and when Melissa, Dallin's sister, asked one of her brothers what he thought Mya would like for her birthday he said to her, "She would probably like a b.b. gun." I thought that was pretty funny.

Workin' at the Res Update

So, Dallin still hasn't heard back from Fort Hall so he is going to continue working at the Sod Farm until he does. Hopefully we will hear from them soon.

The Twins

So, I got to babysit the twins yesterday. It was alot of fun. They are so cute and getting so big. They are running around all over the place. It is so fun to see their different personalities. Sophie smiled and laughed at me all day and Hallie just stared at me with big eyes. I couldn't get her to crack a smile for me all day. Sophie could make her squeal and laugh though. After dinner they were running around the living room making each other giggle and laugh. They would go over to the fireplace and look at their reflection in the glass. Then, one of them would make a noise and Sophie would fall over backwards giggling and squealing. They had fun trying on shoes all day long. They walked around all day with two different shoes on. Diana and Shane have done a lot to their house since I have been there. They have a new room that goes off by their stairs. I think it's going to be the twin's room. They have a new swingset and Diana and Shane's bathroom has new cupboards and mirrors. It looked like they had painted their bedroom too. Everything looks so good. Hope you guys all have fun in California!
