Our Date and 34 weeks...

Last night me and Spenc went on a date for our 4th Anniversary. We hadn't decided on a place to eat before we left and we couldn't agree to anything haha! We ended up going to Macaroni Grill and then to Cold Stone for dessert. It was yummy :) then we went and saw the new Planet of the Apes movie. Spencer liked the movie and I thought it was okay. I think my biggest problem was that I was SO uncomfortable! This baby girl likes to dig into my right ribs and it is so hard to just sit...I need reclining seats to watch movies in haha! But I had so much fun just being with my hubby. He really is the best man I know and I love that he's mine forever. 

This is us in our movie...I look fat but Spenc looks good!


I am also 34 weeks now! Only 6 more weeks until this baby girl of ours is due! I can't believe its coming so quick...I'm excited and a little nervous at the same time. Well I took some pics of the belly yesterday so here they are...



Preston stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Coon while we were on our date. He sat and (pretended) to drive cars with Grandpa, played on a slip n slide with Aunt Kristy and rode on horses with Grandma and played with Spencer and his brothers old matchbox cars. He had so much fun and I'm so grateful that we live close to them and that Preston can spend some fun time with them. They always make it so fun for him and I'm so grateful :). I'm also grateful that when we went and picked him up Preston wanted to just give me hugs and was really happy to see us. I love that he loves me. He's my favorite little guy. I LOVE being a mom and a wife to Spencer.

4 years ago today...

I married my best friend. Can you believe we chose August in the valley to get married. It was SOOO hot and you can totally tell in this picture of us haha. I honestly didn't care one bit, I wanted to be married to Spencer so bad that nothing could make that day bad. And it wasn't, it was perfect. I SO wish I could relive that day. 


4 years later we are still absolutely in love, have one perfect little boy and a perfect little girl on the way! I love my life and I love it because of Spencer and the little family we've made. I couldn't ask for anything more!

An Adoption Story...

My cousin Calli took an amazing trip this summer to Ghana, Africa with the Forever Young Foundation. Not only did she help the children but she fell in love with 3 siblings Issac, Emmanual, and Rhoda. They are now in the process of trying to adopt and could use all the help they can get. Please read their story!

 
And if you are in the Utah area please join them at a benefit concert featuring Jenny Oaks Baker on August 22! There is more information on the concert, Calli's story on her trip to Africa and a little more about the children on her blog. Thank You!

Spencer's Trip...

Spencer had a blast on the rapids :) and I am so glad! You can't nor do you have time to take pictures of you or your crew rafting but they take some for you. Ron and Debbie bought some and when they get back from Utah I will have to steal a few and copy them! But Spencer did take some pictures of them on the Train up to where the river was...


Here are all of them getting ready to get on the train...I have no idea what Tiff is doing haha!


My sexy hubby on the train...love him


This is them trying to get everyone poking their heads out of the train...I think they are only missing Ron.

And then here are some pictures of the river that they rafted down...




I have to admit that I was pretty jealous that they were going and I couldn't go. This trip is right up my ally and I was pretty bummed. But I'm so glad they all had fun and Spencer and Ron have both promised to take me when I'm not a big preggo haha! You know I'm totally holding them to that deal, right?
