25 Weeks 

The pregnancy has been going well. not too much to complain about but i'm definitely growing a lot faster now which is interesting. i sure don't like not being able to sleep on my stomach anymore! i've realized that i only have 3 months left and i'm starting to get a little freaked out but also excited. 

Talbot Family Reunion- 

The end of July brought another fun reunion with the Talbot family! Most of Gary's eight siblings and their kids and his parents all got together to go camping and to hang out since we don't get to see each other very often. We had a lot of fun four wheeling, fishing, shooting, talking, eating and a lot of other fun things.  

Gary fishing , not luck catching anything but he had fun anyway

The little kids decorating eggs (gotta keep 'em entertained)

Lady Antebellum! it was a really fun concert though it was pretty hot ( it was in july in Stg so what do you expect). I love going to country concerts and we rarely have anyone good come to St. George so i decided to make Gary take me to this one.

It's a ......

BOY! I had my ultrasound yesterday and we were so excited to find out that it's a boy! we both wanted a boy ( though either would have been fine). During the ultra sound our little boy had his legs wide open and the ultrasound tech said he must have been showing off, and that he probably gets that from his daddy, it was pretty funny. His organs and everything look good and he's measuring right on target. Good news! We are very excited and now i can start decorating the nursery!

Belly Progress~ 17 weeks

One more week and we get to find out what we're having!

Fireworks!

St. George on the 4th is not the best because it's so hot but i had to work so we had to stay! I was craving Texas Roadhouse so we went there for dinner and got completely stuffed full, then of course we had to get a snow cone to keep us cool. we went to the Dixie Sunbowl and watched the Country Showdown, kind of like American Idol style, with 8 contestants sining. a few were kinda bad but mostly it was fun to listen to. I was surprised that it wasn't that hot sitting out in the sun, only about 105. they did fireworks at 10 that were pretty good. Maybe not as exciting as the last few 4th of july holidays, but it was pretty fun. 

4 Year Anniversary

For our 4 year anniversary I really wanted to take a trip somewhere before we have a baby and can't go anywhere for a while. i decided on Laguna Beach (Gary just went a long with it) and Los Angeles. Neither of us had been to the beach since 2006 and we missed it! we both love the ocean so it was a lot of fun for us. It was a little chilly mostly in the high 60's and 70's so the water was chilly too. that didn't stop us from getting in though! it was so pretty and there were a lot of cool rock formations. we borrowed a boogie board from my friend and we had a lot of fun.  We stayed there Wednesday and thursday night then drove to Los Angeles Friday morning. We mostly just hung out with Jessica and Jeff. Friday we went to the Grove, kind of a shopping area, and walked around. we saw Sawyer from Lost! i love that show so i was pretty excited, he walked right by me, if only i had my camera handy. we went out to eat a lot and on Friday we went to see Transformers 2, not that great, but it was fun anyway. Saturday Jeff took Gary and I to the Getty museum and we saw some really amazing art. then Jessica had us help her a little with her Primary activity (she's the pres.). it was a fun trip! now i miss the beach again! thank goodness they let us borrow their navigation system because it made the drive much easier.

Bun In the Oven

As of tomorrow i will be 15 weeks pregnant! Gary and i are both really excited although it still doesn't seem that real because i'm not looking very pregnant yet.  We find out what it is in about a month so i'll keep you all posted. My due date is December 10th which is kind of nice since i won't be too big and uncomfortable in the St. George heat. 

Random plants in my back yard.

So i planted some flower seeds in our backyard garden about a month and a half ago and soon after a mysterious plant started arising. I didn't want to pull it out because it didn't look like  a weed and i was curious to find out what it would become and it is now a foot and a half tall! Gary and i have a feeling it could be sunflowers but i didn't plant them. maybe they got mixed in with my seed? does anyone have any idea what this is?

I painted my entertainment center a few weeks ago and it looks so much better! it definitely ties the room together well. Gary still isn't in love with the color but what does he know anyway.
