HAPPY 4TH!

I first have to say that Independence Day is my FAVORITE holiday of the year... Mostly because I get a day off (along with Brian) in the middle of the summer! It's so fun to have the tasty food, good company and relaxation... This year our good pals Chase and Lindsay Smith invited us up to Bear Lake Camping. We had an awesome time in the cool mountains... Eating Raspberry shakes. Brian and Chase cooked all of our meals, so we didn't have to lift a finger! It was AWESOME! Here are some pictures from our little get away

Chase, Lins and Their cute dog Russia

Brian Excited about cooking a hot dog?

Of course we had to eat at Cafe' Sabor in Bear Lake... Do I look like I'm 36 weeks prego? YES!!

I just gotta say I'm pretty dang lucky to live in this amazing country! God Bless America!

Not soon enough!

Just a quick entry to say that I'm so excited for Daxton to be here! It seems like each day I have a new "side effect" of pregnancy, but it could be way worse for sure... I think my husband thinks I'm making these things up sometimes but that's OK.. He still seems sympathetic. We had our 32 week check up on Tuesday and our son has a HUGE head apparently! Ok not that huge of head like nothing above the 100th percentile or anything :) it is just measuring a little ahead of the rest of his body! I guess it runs in the family! I can't believe we're at 32 weeks. Time has certainly flown right by... The Nursrey is done and dang cute and the baby showers are just beginning! Thanks Lacey! I'll post again soon when I have something to really update on..

4 years down, forever to go

Our anniversary was last Thursday and we have been SWAMPED!!! We got to celebrate on Saturday with dinner and a night together. Sweet and Simple. I'm the luckiest girl in the world!

I LOVE YOU BRIAN WESTOVER!

Mothers...

First off I would like to say that I had an awesome mothers day! Brian got me roses and a gift card to my favorite store... What an awesome man! He says I'm a mother which I totally agree with after carrying a child for seven months so far! Thats right, I have less than 3 months left! We had a doctors appointment yesterday :). Daxton is doing very well... When the doctor zoomed in on his face she said "wow, look at those cheeks!" What can I say, big cheeks run in the family! He weighs 2 lbs 9 oz. (I bet at least 6oz's are in his face :) My doctor said that I'll have to start coming in every 2 weeks after my next appointment. THIS FREAKS ME OUT!! That means he's almost here... I'm not ready to be a mom! Can't I just stay this pregnant until I decide I'm ready to have a child? Reality is totally hitting me hard! Every time I wake up in the night to go to the bathroom, I can't help but think that in a couple months I'll have to stay up and feed a crying baby... I know I know, I'll get used to it or get over it but I think I have a right to be freaked out.. Do I?

Ok back to Mothers Day. What a great holiday! My brothers and I decided to surprise our mom and all show up at her sacrament. SHE WAS SO SURPRISED! It was so awesome to see her smile like that! Then Brian went to our Marriage and Family class at our ward. We hate to miss it! After that we went to my parents house for Mothers Day dinner. My dad smoked some meat in his new smoker. IT WAS AWESOME! We had some yummy dutch oven potatos, salad and rolls. We followed it all up with a yummy Strawberry Cheesecake Triffle that I made. My mom totally scored as far as gifts go! She got a bunch of stuff for her yard. I made a list of why I Love my mom so much. I hope she doesn't mind me sharing with yall.

Ten of the many reasons I love you!

1: You have taught me how to live a righteous life
2: You encourage me to expand my talents
3: You are a great example of giving and selflessness
4: You are always willing to listen to my problems and not judge me or the person I have a problem with
5: You help me with crafts, sewing, my flower beds, etc even though you end up doing more work than me… J (that’s why they turn out so cute!)
6: You are patient kind and loving to all
7: You share your yummy recipe’s with me and teach me the “quick tips”
8: You have unconditional love towards your children
9: You LOVE vacations and always invite us
10: You have taught me how to be frugal
11: You’re willing to help any one any time
12: You’re the only “girl friend” I need
13: You’re honest in your dealings

Even though I could go on and on I better stop since this IS a ten things list…. I love you more than you could ever know! Thanks for being the best mom a gal could ever ask for!

Well, There you have it! My mothers day was awesome! I love having another day to celebrate!

Half Way to 50?

Holy cats! I'm 25!Yesterday was my birthday... It was a great day! When I woke up Brian had set a card with a case of my favorite drink (Orange Cream soda) that you can buy no where in Brigham and a gift card to Red Lobster! Thanks honey! For my main gift, I asked for a changing table/dresser for Daxtons room...

I had to work all day so that kind of stunk but no biggie, I am 25 afterall right?

My mom brought me some beautiful flowers from her garden for my desk, What an awesome mom huh! Thanks mom! Since I had to work on my birthday, the day before, we (my mom and I)decided to go flower shopping! I LOVE flower shopping.. more than clothes shopping! We got some way cute flowers for our yards. Thats a gift that keeps giving all summer!

After work my parents took Brian and I out to my favorite chineese restaurant Golden Dynesty and then to Farr's Ice cream. Then we went to their house for strawberry shortcake.. YUMMY! It was a pretty laid back and relaxing day. I just love birthdays! They should come more than once a year! Thanks for all of the warm Birthday wishes! Now I gotta figure out where to spend my birthday money! Whoo hoo!

And his Name will be.....

Daxton Brian Westover

The Nursrey is almost finished and I've hit 24 weeks! My dad cut out some wood for me to make these blocks yesterday... I love how it turned out! We had our 4-D ultrasound yesterday and everything looks great! He weighs 1 lb 6 oz. The stubborn little guy wouldn't show us his face here's a picture of his little legs! I can't believe how much they can do now through an ultrasound.
