Dinosaur Museum

James and I had Riley for the day and we decided to go with Jodi, Kay, & Dax to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was pretty fun. Ri and Kay were still a bit to young to understand what was going on, but there was plenty of stuff to keep him entertained. Kay wasn't really interested in much of it. They had lots of interactive stuff for them to do and see so it was fun. Probably not worth the price for an adult ($10) but he had fun.

Hee-Haws

Yes, it December 27th, 2 days after Christmas. And I am updating about Halloween time. Please forgive me. With my midnight schedule and this not so easy pregnancy, I was basically doing nothing but sleeping all day and working at night. Blog updating was not high on my priority list. But now that I am no longer working and am just being a wife and homemaker and getting ready for our upcoming arrival, I have some time to update. I also want to make sure I get this stuff and these pictures on here so I have them for when I get the blog printed into a book.

So, I couldn't even give you the exact date, but sometime in October we went to Hee-Haws farm. It's the same place we went last year to pick pumpkins and they have some fun games and activities for the kids there too.










James had to leave early to go to work :(

Vegas.

We took a quick trip down to Vegas at the beginning of October to see the America's Got Talent top 10 show. I love that show and was particularly obsessed with a couple of the acts this year so I was so excited to go. We left Thursday morning after I got off work and got there in the afternoon. We checked into our hotel, took a nap, and then went to dinner and walked around the strip a bit. Friday was our main day there. We started at one end of the strip and just walked all day until our show that night. Let me tell you, walking around all day at 20 weeks pregnant is not the smartest thing in the world. I was so beyond tired and my legs and feet were so swollen. I felt really bad cuz I know James wanted to see some more things and walk some more but by about 5pm I couldn't hardly move without wanting to cry. So we went to eat dinner and just relaxed until our show started. James had to be back to work Saturday afternoon so we left Saturday morning to get home in time. It was just a fun quick trip.

On the way down we stopped in Parowan to see my Grandma's grave

this is how I felt waiting for the show to start

and this is how I felt when the show was over

I will admit that the main reason I was obsessed this season is because of Prince Poppycock. I absolutely love him and was so freaking giddy when he came out on stage. And this and this are the reasons as to why I love him so much.

Riley Samuel

I haven't updated on this cute boy in a while. He is getting so big and old so fast. He talks like crazy now and is all boy. He loves cars, trucks, tractors, and all sports. He knows all the different kind of balls and is really quite good at any of them that he tries. He is so fun to watch and to be around. He is absolutely the sweetest boy ever and still loves to give hugs and kisses all the time. I love him so stinkin much!

his cute pouty face

what a studly lion

showin off his tattoo

this is what he looks like when watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Circus

James and I took Baylie and Avrie to the circus a few weeks ago. I really wanted to go, but I think I'm over my circus obsession cuz it wasn't nearly as good as I remember it even from last year. But it was still fun and the girls had a really good time so I'm glad we went. But we probably won't be going again, at least until our baby is old enough to wanna go.

Avrie and her pony

It's pretty hard to get a decent picture of anything but the elephants are my favorite and I was able to get this one. So cute

22.

I turned 22 on the 22nd. This was my first birthday I haven't been living at home and getting presents from my parents. How depressing :) I have officially entered into the world of a birthday is really just another day, which is ok, just a change. I spent most of the day sleeping. Husband took my car during the day and cleaned it and got my oil changed and all that junk for me. Then when I woke up he made dinner and then the Tolmans stopped by before I had to go to work. James took a 4 day weekend so we just got to spend a lot of time together which was really nice. We played our new Wii a lot and on Saturday we went to the circus and slept a lot which I like and am cherishing for the next 4 1/2 months. James is the best and he makes me feel special everyday but he tried extra hard for my birthday and I love him for it.
