.::36 Weeks::.

How far along? 36 Weeks & 4 Days!

Total weight gain: 25lbs.

Stretch marks? Yep

Sleep: ...

Best moment this week: 36 week appointment & hearing her heartbeat, seeing The Dark Knight Rises & having dinner at Olive Garden, and buying a new car, that was actually good, then stressful (doing the paperwork & financing) and then good when all was said and done!

Miss Anything? Having energy and not needing help getting out of bed in the middle of the night

Movement: Lots of it! One night laying on the couch she stuck her foot clear out and we could literally grab it, it was weird and awesome at the same time! :)

Food cravings: Anythig not healthy for you is what I want to eat, I don't give in all the time, but still want it!
Symptoms: Had another leg cramp early Sunday morning, hip and nether region aches, ya know pressure from her head and all.
Labor Signs: None, that I know of. I read peoples blogs or comments on Facebook and swear I'm either getting nothing or I am just delusional and mark off little aches and pains as normal and not braxton hicks or anything. My doctor thinks it's the latter which I hope she's right.
Belly Button in or out? In
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, except thinking about working from 10a-8:30p.m for two days almost made me cry...and call into work and just go back to Utah early.
Looking forward to: Going to Utah Thursday night, seeing friends and family, my baby shower on Saturday! And of course, meeting this sweet girl soon! :)

I have been thinking alot this last week or so about how I actually enjoy pregnancy. I have been extremely lucky that it's really been a cake walk. But also I LOVE having this baby with me at all times and feeling her move all around. Blake has been BEYOND and I mean BEYOND amazing while I am pregnant. I come home and the house is clean and dinner is about ready. If I am tired he always has me lay down (I feel lazy when I do cause he is doing stuff that I could do) and just chill. He's always comforting when I have a down day and does whatever he can to cheer me up. He listens to my crazy ideas for things I want/need/don't really need but think I do for me, baby, or him and sometimes goes with it or brings me back to earth and helps me realize if I don't need certain things haha. He always encourages me to workout cause he knows how important it is to me to do so and try and stay healthy for this baby, without his encouragement I would have done A LOT worse and probably be in a crummy mood most days. Thinking of all that he does for me makes me want to cry because I am soooo lucky to have him and this baby is going to have the best daddy in the world, she is already the most spoiled child ever because Blake will be in her life. These damn pregnancy hormones are getting to me and making me all sappy! OKay I am going to stop blubbering on like a pregnant lunatic now... :o)

Waiting for The Dark Knight Rises to start!

Yayy for new cars! :o)

.::Cook Islands 2011::.

The best kept secret in the South Pacific!

Kia Orana!!

We had so much fun in the Cook Islands! That place is so beautiful!

We were there for two weeks and did so much and I

can't possibly blog it so I hurried and threw these pictures together

for everyone's entertainment!

Mind you we took about 1800 while there!

Enjoy!! =)

Lagoon

On Saturday our family went to Lagoon! It was a lot of fun! The weather was bi polar that day but we stuck it out and had a blast! At one point it was thunder and lightening and pouring rain but we camped out under the canopy and when the rain let up we played a game called Bocce, it's some italian game, and its just like horse shoes but you use balls. It got pretty competitive! And for the record...Blake and I were champs with 9 straight wins before we went back to riding rides :)

Eating lunch

Blake got off of work at 6 that morning so he was pretty tired and took a nap while everyone else went to Lagoona Beach.
On Wicked...
About to get on the sky lift
On the Rocket...I've been on this ride a ton of times but for some reason when we got on Re-Entry I freaked out and was so scared I was screaming the whole ride...my family said they could definitely hear me!

Blake played this 3 point basketball game A LOT there! He won a ton of stuff even though the hoop was higher then an actual basketball hoop and he was one shot away from breaking the record and winning a jersey!
Watching Blake play
Rockin' our baseball helmets

After the Samuari

My cousin Ethan

Some of the gang! Mikey, Hunter, me, Blake, Keila, Tadd, Alan Jr., Ethan, and my uncle Alan. 95% of the stuff here Blake won haha.

.::Pioneer Day::.

On the 24th my side of the family came over and we had a BBQ pool party...it was so much fun! We had steaks on the barbie and tons of delicious side dishes! My mom is an over-acheiver when it comes to parties and she made so much good food! Yum!!!

My cute cousin Eden and Grandpa Price

Mason, Melanie and kids joined us for the fun!

I swear my dad didn't get one good pic of me haha...

We had so much fun! At one point we had a 3 on 3 basketball tournament that was a lot of fun and got pretty physical. Once it got dark my dad and Mikey lit the illegal fireworks they bought and everyone loved them!

Great times with family!

Also on Friday I was home with the kids and we got bored and one thing led to another and we decided to have a photoshoot. They all had fun except Hunter, he was more forced into it so he took a few pictures and then he bounced. Here are a few of my favorites :)

Makenna is gorgeous!

Seriously Makenna and Drew worked the camera. I took 101 pictures of the kids and so many turned out. Such a fun day!

Cherries

I haven't been good at taking pictures this summer...but here are a few of my favorites! This summer so far has been so much fun! I have loved spending so much time with our families and friends! I just finished the 3rd session for swim lessons and Blake started cherries tonight...it will be a long 3 1/2 weeks for the both of us! More him then me...I just hate sleeping alone!

The kids I spend most of my days with....Barrett, Makenna, Hunter, and Drew...they spend half the day in the pool...I love water but these kids never get sick of it! I love being able to hang out with them!

On Sunday Blake was playing backyard football with some of our nephews and then he was snapping pictures cause they dressed up in football attire. Well Barrett scored a touchdown and took a victory lap and Blake snapped this pic! It's so cute!

Blake with Payton, his brothers nephew

We went to the benefit concert for Amy Jackson with Peter Breinholt and other local artists. It was so good! Blake and my brother and sister in law love Peter and I had never really heard his music before but he is awesome! Also, Amy Jackson's husband made a tribute to her and I was bawling my eyes out. The way he spoke about her really hit me and he was saying all these wonderful things that made me think about my life and how if Blake was in that situation I would hope he would talk about me that way because it was true. I heard from numerous people that she was actually the woman her husband said she was.
Anyways thats all for now....

Summertime :)

Since we have been back to Utah I have been a slacker at blogging! Between all the family get togethers, meeting up with friends, and new additions to families...Sandy finally had baby Carson :)...it's be tough to stay on top of blogging! But I promise to be better! :)

On the 5th it was my cousin Ashlyn's baptism and we got to see a lot of family and had delicious food (always a plus!)

Ryo came back to Utah with us for a little over a week and we had to say goodbye to him. It was kinda sad since we probably wont ever see him again. We hope we do but if not we wish him the best in life!

On the 20th it was my little brother Hunter's 10th birthday! We celebrated it on the 19th at my in laws and had a pool party and ate far too much food!

We went fishing with my brother in law Mark and his two kids Hank and Charlotte at Maple Lake. No lie after Charlotte casted her rod in the lake 20 seconds later she had a fish....no one believed her for awhile until I saw the fish pulling on the line. It took a while longer before we caught the next two fish.
Blake and Makenna's BIG catch....moss! Yuck!
The kidlets fishing

Blake caught the 3rd and final one before we headed home!

We have spent the last two weekends at my in laws cabin up in Mt. Pleasant. I love going there. It's so pretty and sooo relaxing!

Hunter passed out on the swing after moving rocks

Last Friday we went to the cabin and then went to the MMP in Manti. We had a delicious turkey dinner, watched Blake do a little "bible bashing", and my niece and nephew, Hallie, Waylon, and I had a mini photo shoot. So fun!

This last Saturday we left the cabin early and went with my family up to Bear lake to meet up with some other family/friends. It was fun but a short trip since we came back late Saturday night. We seriously took up so much space because my cousins dad is the 2nd oldest of 16 kids! And most of them are married and have kids. It was great to catch up with them since I haven't seen them since my wedding or my cousin Ana's wedding in 2007!

Phewww...that was a mouthful! But that's about it for now... I had a ton more pictures but for some reason the blog isn't allowing me to put more up! But until next time.....farewell! :)
