Baby shower

Wow time flies by! I just realized it's already been 2 weeks since my shower and I am just posting about it. My mom and sisters threw me a little shower and it was so much fun! Not to mention the decorations were so cute. The best part was seeing friends and family (ok maybe presents too). My sister Jessica even flew in from Vegas to come. I got a lot of really cute and fun stuff for baby and I am getting really excited for Dec. 1st to arrive (or earlier would be fantastic)!


Yup you guessed it! Dogs are the theme of baby m's room. My mom got this cute little Bulldog and I think baby will love it. (I guess we need to pick a name already so I can quit calling him "baby" or "baby m")


Me & Sammie (Jessica's daughter) She is so adorable!

Looks like someone swallowed a watermelon seed!

I went to my doctor's appointment a few weeks ago and when I walked into the door a lady sitting at the front desk loudly announced, "looks like someone swallowed a watermelon seed." Some people just think they are soo funny. I guess it's pretty obvious now that I am having a baby! I have been pretty bad at taking belly pics, so when we got home from church today, I made Logan take a picture. So here is my watermelon belly:



Looking at this picture I realize it looks like I no longer have a butt. I hope that changes when I'm no longer prego!



My sister in law Nichole is the queen of online shopping or just shopping in general. She told me about this awesome swing that I just had to get. It's called the Fisher Price zen swing. It is the only swing you can buy that can run on batteries and also plug into the wall. So, you don't have to waste tons of money on batteries! It also swings front to back, and side to side. The seat part also can be taken off and used as a bouncer. It really is the best swing ever and I haven't even used it yet! We were thinking about testing it out on Fergie, but I think she's way too big and it would break.



When we lived in Provo, someone left this dresser in the shed at one of the houses we lived in. So I adopted it and have been wanting to re-finish it. It used to be painted white but was in desperate need of sanding and painting. Aqua is one of the color's I am using in baby M's room, so I painted it to match. I love how it turned out and can't wait to put it in the nursery!



My mom and sister's threw me a baby shower last week and it was seriously way better than Christmas! I got so many fun and cute things for baby. This is his closet and it's my favorite room in the house. I seriously go in here once a day just to look at everything. I kind of wish my closet had this many clothes and cute things!



I know shoes are a girl thing, but I still love buying shoes for my boy. My favs are the little Vans skater shoes. I also love the little Rock Star hat my sis Melissa got me. It has a matching onesie and he will be so adorable in it!

Can you tell I am getting really excited?? Only 5 weeks...maybe less if I'm lucky!

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake for Canadian Thanksgiving this year and it was so much fun. My bro-in-law Devin's brother Jared (confusing I know) has a house there and we got to stay there for free! They call it their "cabin" but it's actually a super nice house and it's really close to the lake. There was about 20 of us crowded in there but it was still fun. It's the best to go to Bear Lake in the fall because it's not crowded at all and you can ride four wheelers (or if you are Canadian you call them quads) on the beach. Or if you are 8 months pregnant you can watch everyone from the window having fun riding on the beach :( Ok, I might have snuck in a short, slow ride. Probably not very smart but I felt left out. It was nice to get out and be with family so I shouldn't complain. I did research to see if there was any kind of hospital near Bear Lake- you know, just in case someone did go into labor! And no, I did not. We had our Canadian Thanksgiving on Sunday, even though it's actually on Monday. So now I won't feel bad if I have my baby early and miss Thanksgiving! Having 2 Thanksgivings is the best!

Just call me ace of cakes

Nephew Aidan turned 7 today, but we had his party on Saturday. I guess the word got out that I make awesome birthday cakes, so Aidan requested that I make him a cake. He wanted a blue racecar cake, and I must say he got one awesome blue racecar cake! I admit I am no Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes, I didn't carve out a racecar freehanded (thought about it, but got scared). I used a Nascar cakepan and I am so glad I did. So much easier that way! By the time my little boy's first birthday rolls around, I am going to be one heck of a cake maker. Thanks to nieces and nephews, I am getting plenty of practice! Speaking of baby...I am officially 32 weeks, so this means only two months! TWO MONTHS! It will be here before I know it. I don't even have his nursery set up, it's painted but that's about it. Anyway, I need to post some more belly pics and once I get the baby's room all set up I'll post some pics of that as well!

Birthdays!

Nothing really exciting has been going on here, so sorry for the lack of posting. We have had a few birthdays and these are the only pictures I have taken! Lame I know. My mom's birthday was August 25th and we actually got to be there this year! I got her the best gift you could ever get...a Snuggie. You know, that cheesy blanket that you see in commercials on tv. So awesome. I thought it was pretty funny, but she has actually used it (unless she's lying to me). I'm thinking I might make one for my baby so he can wear one and be able to have his little hands free for holding his bottle. Maybe I'll sell them on Etsy and get rich. Logan turned 26 on Sept. 2 and we sort of had a party. I feel bad because his birthdays are always kind of lame. Just a bad time of year...or maybe I'm just a bad wife :( We went to Craigos with his bro and fam and then he and I came home and opened presents and had cake. Although, I must say I got him the best present EVER- tickets to the BYU vs. Florida State game. Today is actually Fergie's birthday and she is one! We didn't do anything fancy like get her a happy meal at McDonald's, but we did get her a skateboard. Have you ever heard of Tillman the skateboarding bulldog? Well if you haven't, you should look him up on youtube. She didn't quite get the concept of getting on the skateboard, but she did love to chase it and chew it. By the time she was done, it was dripping with drool. I know, so gross.

Fergie's new best friend

Who would have thought that horses and dogs could be friends? I just thought these pictures were funny so I thought I would share!

I also thought I should explain what's going on with us because I don't think anyone can keep track of where we are and what we are up to! Secretly, we are running from the government and so we move every 4 months. We moved to Pocatello about 3 weeks ago and are renting out Logan's sister's house. Logan is starting school at ISU (pre-dental classes) and I am working until the baby comes. My sister in law hooked me up with this awesome job. There is a lady here in Pocatello that needs someone to be there when her husband is at work, and so she pays me just to keep her company(and do some light housework). She also has 3 rooms full of BIRDS. She has a hawk, crow, duck, pigeons...those are just a few. So I also have to do a little bird care- change the water and food. Easiest job ever! She will also let me work after I have the baby which is nice. I couldn't have asked for a better job right now! Yesterday was my first day, and it really wasn't bad. She's really nice. Anyway, just thought I would update on what we are doing!

Show & Tell

Everyone keeps telling me to take lots of pictures of my belly. So far...I have failed. So here I am at exactly 25 weeks today! I did a mini photo shoot with myself and I felt really cheesy doing it. I really hope the neighbors didn't see me! I figure I better take some pictures while I still think my belly is cute. I've gotta be honest here, I like my little pregnant belly and it makes me feel sorta hot and feminine. I'm sure as it gets bigger, that will all change! I took a pic looking down at my feet and as you can see, I can hardly see them anymore. I've been pretty lucky so far in my pregnancy- no throwing up, no heartburn, no stretchmarks (yet), and no weird cravings really. My only complaint right now is my stinkin ribs hurt, which makes sleeping uncomfortable! I feel baby M moving around quite a bit now- mostly in the morning and at night. It's a crazy feeling but I love it! We haven't decided on a name yet, but we still have time to figure that out. I keep telling Logan that Zack Morris Miller is an awesome name. My sister suggested Jake Ryan Miller (after the hottie on Sixteen Candles). I used to have a t-shirt that said "I love Jake Ryan". It was awesome. Too bad I got rid of it! I'm sure we'll agree on something...eventually.
