Egg Press Discovery

This is the most adorable do it yourself piece of stitchery I have ever seen!! Granted I am a complete sucker for anything wiener dog related, but come on!! Who wouldn't want to make their very own snuggly wienie dog made with two fun sides to its personality! This item was discovered on the Egg Press website. (Thanks for leading me to it Capree.)

Lime Ricki Swimsuits!!

Get ready for summer!! Here comes Lime Ricki's new swimsuit line! Lucky for me I got to preview the entire line last night because I was the photographer. The shoot was a lot of fun. Cute young girls with a lot of spunk. I love the new swimsuits. You will have to keep your eye out for them on their website.

Friends and Bellies

Today I talked Kim into coming into the studio to do some pregnancy pictures with me. The amazing Logan did an incredible job with us and our bellies. Kim and I planned our lives out when we were in seventh grade and of course we were going to have babies at the same time! I thought it is hilarious that this prediction of ours actually came true so I decided that it needed to be documented.




This is our kids engagement picture. They just don't know it yet!

This is us doing a serious face. Yeah Right.

Hooray for AMAZING Friends!!

My friends put on a baby shower for me last night. And I am speechless. I can't believe how many people came and am still in awe at how generous everyone was. Wow. A special thanks needs to be handed out to Kim, Alisa, and my mom for being incredible hostesses and pulling the whole thing off. The food was wonderful, the company even better and the presents a very nice bonus. Thank you thank you to all of you behind the scenes people (who I suspect helped the mess vanish) and everyone who came to support Scott and I in our upcoming adventure. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart and love you all!

Snowed In!!

A HUGE storm hit Utah on February 13th. It hit the hardest in Alpine, Utah. That is where Scott works. The only highway in and out of IM Flash was closed down. The road was so bad that people driving on it gave up and abandoned their cars. So not only was it closed due to bad weather conditions, but because they had to get tow trucks to haul away the abandoned cars. The day shift at IM Flash couldn't leave and the night shift couldn't come in. So Scott ended up working a 24 + hour shift. Luckily IM Flash provided the stranded employees with dinner. It was a good thing Scott got in line quickly because they ran out of food. IM Flash also relaxed on their CNN and Weather Channel only policy and let employees watch American Idol. They even put on Lord of the Rings in one of conference rooms using a projector. Don't worry Scott got a little sleep. By a little I mean barely four hours on a wooden bench by the lockers!! Poor Scott!! When the bosses showed up the next day and realized how many people had been stuck there overnight they let them go home to get some sleep so Scott got Valentine's Day off. Hooray for Utah weather! (pics courtesy of ksl.com)

My Most Recent Purchase

Thank you Poppy Talk!! I found these through this fun blog and I have big plans for them in my house!! Yeah for amazing finds!

Snow Day!

Sunday morning we woke up to a blizzard and about 15 inches of fresh snow! We were officially snowed in when they canceled church. Our patio transformed into an ice cave overnight. When we went to sleep we had maybe 4 inches out there. We were bummed that we weren't able to make to my grandma's super bowl party, but we went next door to Mindee and Jerry's house to watch the game.

Just Like Dad!

Scott and I found these shoes at Kid to Kid while we were looking for other baby items and we simply couldn't resist. For as long as I have known Scott he has had Adidas shoes just like these. Since we have been married Scott has received a new pair every year. So when we found a pair for our little guy, we had to buy them. Now he can run around with shoes just like dad (granted that will take some time.)

Current State of the Belly

I don't really remember what it is like to sleep through the night or to really be and stay asleep longer than 30 min. Hmmm. But I am pretty sure I won't experience good sleep for a long while yet. (I know I know "It is only going to get worse.") Baby boy still refuses to grow out. He just grows up higher and higher into my lungs and rib cage. He viciously reminds me when my posture is unacceptable with a swift kick to the ribs. I am afraid he is going to bust a hole right through by belly before I ever go into labor. The most recent development is that once again I have found myself experiencing "reverse" pregnancy. I didn't really have morning sickness in my first trimester, but oh boy do I have it now. My body isn't a fan of my estrogen levels. So I spend about four hours (at least) every morning wanting so badly to puke while trying to be a cheery Silver Pelican Employee! Fun!
