new glider rocker

As most of you know, we bought a used glider a while back. We had to do some pretty good cleaning to the rocker and Joe even tightened and glued all the loose parts back to normal. Well, I was rocking away one day and decided that the old rocker just wasn't up to par (it didn't help that I had sat in a really plush chair the day before), so we re-sold our old rocker and bought us a new one! We even made a $10 profit!

This one swivels, rocks, reclines, and came with an ottoman. For all of you ottoman haters, I was once a part of your ranks but have since fallen in love with the mini-me rocker. It is wonderful to put my tired, swollen, sauage-like feet up and rest for a bit.

who's belly is it?

Joe, the loving husband that he is, gained 8 pounds of sympathy weight with me during my first trimester. I don't think he's actually gained any more weight since then, but he has gotten a desk job and a job counting pills ... you figure out where all his muscle weight is going.

Can you figure out who's belly is which one?

field of dreams

Our ward is playing softball. I'm benched for now, but Joe is loving it! He's always been a soccer kind of guy and never really ventured into softball/baseball. During the first game, the other team over threw the ball at first, so he ran to second. Well, there was a guy from our ward on second already. The other team luckily threw the ball to first base so the other guy from our ward ran to third base. Oops! Joe is a good sport about it though; he's not afraid to try new things.

pictures galore

As promised, here are some pictures. Yikes. I'm not that photogenic!

The ultrasound in the picture is an old one. It was when he was 13 weeks along. Joe and I are coming closer to agreeing on a name so we won't have to keep calling him "it" "the boy" "our baby". Picking a name is unusually stressful.

Forgive the expression. It was early in the morning and I was tired. In fact, I'm still tired.

Notice the whie polka-dot robe in the background. I got that for mother's day. It is from Victoria's Secret and oh, so comfortable.

makeover madness

So I promised everyone pics of my earrings and new do, but after careful consideration, I am unable to deliver. You see, I took pictures, I have pictures, but I have a water-filled face that makes me look like I've eaten Krispy Kream out of business. So I'm going to drown my sorrows in a couple more Subway cookies!

starburst memories

Smith's Marketplace has candy on sale all of the time! Recently, I bought Skittles and Starburst. Starburst candy will always hold a special place in my heart.

When I was going to school at the College of Eastern Utah, me and a friend went hiking. Because of volleyball and trying to stay in shape, I tried to stay away from candy during the season. It was Easter and I swiped some Starbursts from my roommate. I went hiking, popped a Starburst in my mouth, and fainted! Yes, my mouth overwatered, I tried to breath and swallow at the same time, started choking, and passed out. I could tell that my friend was overly concerned because all he did was look at me and ask, "You alright, buddy?"

Ah ... good times.
