Im Ready For My Close-Up

Here it is.

My 7 month pregnancy shot.

Taken by myself.

I know, Im a GREAT photographer.

The photo isn't fantastic,

But here it is nonetheless

Me and Jo only started documenting the pregnancy via photos since I was 5 months.

I'll probably upload those later but I just didn't really look pregnant.

I just looked larger than normal.

It seems though, in the last couple of days that the belly has started to grow pretty fast and I think that this prego belly is blog worthy now.

Me and Jo are all moved in up in Pine Valley but it seems like half the week we are in STG.

I love that I get to spend more time with little one.

She is growing up sooo fast!

These pics are from our adventure to the splash pad by her house in Ivins.

Garret & Ashley Thalman

Congrats to Garret and Ash!!!!

They were married yesterday in the St. George temple.

Everything went perfect and Ashley looked gorgeous!

I heart these two.

Me & Jo.

(My belly is finally starting to show)

This is Jacie Hammer. She is amazing.

She wins for "Best Best Friend of the Year" for all she did for Ash and the Gardners.

We spent a lot of time together and had some great adventures these past couple days.

I think I spent more time with Jacie this weekend than Jordan.

I will have you all know that she was the last to leave the Gardner's Saturday night.

She wanted to make sure that everything was cleaned and that Janece wouldn't be staying up late to do any extra cleaning.

What a gem.

The Gardner Fam.

and.... the Fam again.

Im sad to say that I didn't take any pictures at the reception but it was beautiful.

We had it in the Gardner's backyard.

Janece and her posse (her many friends and relatives) did such a fantastic job putting everything together.

Yay for weddings.

Moving On

Happy graduation to Jord!!!

He graduated this last weekend from USU with his bachelors in Accounting and Financial Planning. I am so proud.

He did great. I'm glad I married such a smart man.

Now he just has three years of law in Nevada and he'll be DONE.

Moving day!

Thank you to the Gardner bunch and my dad and Janice for coming up and helping us move.

I absolutely hate moving and never want to do it again!

We are down in St. George again. Kinda.

We're living in the Gardner's cabin in Pine Valley for the summer until we move to Nevada.

This was our lovely kitchen. All packed up and ready to leave our first apartment together.

I loved that little cinder block apartment.

...so many wonderful memories...

but its time for us to be moving on.

Leaving

I can't believe we'll be outta here in less than a week.

We've been here for five years.

I have really come to love this valley.

It sure is beautiful....

in the summer and fall.

I'll be happy to leave the winters behind.

GOODBYE LOGAN!

23 years & 24 weeks

Happy birthday to me! Finally.... 23. I feel like I should be older than this.
Me and Jo went to Thanksgiving Point Gardens for the Tulip Festival for my bday. I love that place. It was so beautiful. Only thing we didn't so much enjoy was the millions of people who decided to go to the Gardens to celebrate my birthday with me. Its hard being so cool. That place was super BUSY!
I may be 23 years old but baby Gardner is 24 weeks!!

Some facts about me and baby so far:

• Supposedly my uterus is as big as a soccer ball now and the baby is almost a foot long.
  
• I had my first ever case of acid reflux and thought I was going to die. Acid reflux sucks!
• My face does not show the "pregnancy glow." Unless the glow is from all the red marks from zits on my face. Ugly.
• At my last appointment they said I have only gained about five pounds through out my pregnancy so far. I don't exactly believe them. I feel ginormous.
• This baby boy loves to move and kick. He is very active. Especially right before I go to sleep.

Cache County Gals

These are my Cache County Gals.

They took me out to Texas Roadhouse last night

for my going away/baby shower/birthday dinner.

YUM.

Me, Marsha and Diane

Suzy & Leslie

I've LOVED my job and the people I've worked with.

Today is my "official" last day.

(although I'll be coming back in next Thursday to do more training)

I'm going to miss this place!

Graduation Gift

We are pretty excited. Today we are getting this little beauty for Jordan's graduation gift. I think its about time he gets a new computer. Its been six years with the same laptop, which is big enough to be a desk top. He was too embarrassed to bring that old laptop to school. Plus its probably too heavy to be heaving around.

We're Mac virgins. This will be the first Mac for both of us. Its the Mac Book Pro. Im pretty sure its made out of aluminum...

Yay! Im excited to try it out today. Its going to make skyping so much easier.
