Happy B-Day Jeff and 8 Weeks Left!!!

Happy Birthday Jeff!

I am so grateful that you are my husband and for the wonderful man that you are. You make me laugh and lift me when I am down. You have such a wonderful attitude about life that makes living it with you an adventure! You are going to be the best daddy ever! I am grateful for you and all of the hard work you do for our family. Happy Birthday my love.


Us at the Diamond Backs game for Jeff's Birthday

Jeff's Parents took him to Molly Butlers for his Birthday in Greer. It was delicouse!! Thanks Mom and Dad! Isn't it beautiful? We sat on this big deck right by a roaring fire (it is still a little cold in Greer). It was beautiful!! (I am 31 weeks here).

We went up to Greer for F.H.E. a couple weeks ago to picnic and fish in the stream. Here I am 30 weeks.

This is a picture of Briston at his First Diamondbacks game!! (I'm almost 32 weeks here.)

I have 8 Weeks left before this little guy makes his big arrival and I am SOOOO excited!! a little nervous too ;)

He is getting so strong, I can feel it when he kicks me. And I believe that he thinks my ribs are his play toys. But being pregnant has been a wonderful experience despite all of the aches and pains. I never thought that I would be able to experience such a beautiful thing. And to have it finally happen is an experience I will always cherish.

One of my really good friends once described the love of a mother as her heart walking around outside of her body. I am beginning to understand what she meant. My little Briston is so warm and protected right now, and soon he will be in this big ol' world where not everything is not monitored by yours truly... But at the same time I can't wait to see him! To look and see if he has my nose or Daddy's eyes! By the ultrasound pic's it looks like he already has my lips....poor kid.... I am sure they will come in handy when he wants to pout about something ;)

But I know that coming to this earth and making decisions, being faced with obstacles and growing is part of the reason we are here. It just feels a lot different know that I am having to let my little baby be exposed to this ol' world. However, we do have a lot of things planned already! We talk to our little Briston Boy everyday about how we are going to go fishin' and camping and take him to Disneyland! We can't wait to experience our new little family life.

Trip to Texas and Ash's Temple Day!!

Me and Briley Bean!!

At the end of March my mother in law Roz and I went to Texas. We met Kindy and little Briley there to have a girl time with Kortney while Pratt was in AZ.  We shopped til we dropped, went to see a beautiful lake, saw the Dallas Texas Temple, went to the coolest two story Joann's!! Shopped in Louisiana and learned to make hair bows. Once Mom and I got to the airport we were a little stranded. Kindy's flight had been cancelled due to a blizzard and she was our tour guide! So mom and I sat at the airport til Kort got of work and she was headed our way to pick us up. Well we decided it would be easier for Kort to find us if we could get to Union Station. So we took three buses to get to our little Union Station, only to realize to late that it wasn't Union Station! Thank goodness for Mr. garmin or we would have sat there forever! 

Kindy had a really hard time getting a flight in. It was snowing like crazy in Denver so she couldn't get out of Colorado then Texas was having tornado warnings!! So we stayed the night and she was able to make it in late the next night.  After that crazy beginning, we finally got everybody there and the fun really began!!

Me, Mom holding Briley and Kortney and Rhew at the Lake!

All of us at a really good restaurant in Kort's town. It was so much fun going to Texas! It is really a pretty state. I was really sad that I didn't get any pic's of the landscaping.

This is my mother in law Roz and me on the flight over there!

Kortney and me and the Dallas Texas Temple.

More of the Dallas Texas Temple.

My little sister Ashleigh is on her mission in Salt Lake City Temple Square. This is the day that she went through the Temple in Snowflake. Ash is the one in the red. We had such a wonderful day. I was able to be one of her escort through the Temple and it was such a wonderful experience. She is loving her mission and all of the great spiritual experiences that come with serving the Lord.

If any of you know anything about Snowflake you know that it is almost ALWAYS windy! Such was the case on this day. We had to hold our hair back so we could even face the camera!
