Life lately

A little update on what's been happening lately:

First let's get the yucky stuff out of the way, this is what it looked like from our front porch on Monday morning. Yes, Monday, May 24th. It snowed. And stuck around for a while. In fact, as I was driving around yesterday I spotted two semi-melted snowmen in Orem.

Moving on.

We've had a lot of fun preparing for baby (no, she doesn't have a name yet). We got our car seat! We're so excited, and we love it. Of course, we had to try it out on our first baby. He wasn't the biggest fan, but he's a good sport.

And, with the help of my talented mother, I made a car seat cover! Cute hu? Super easy too.

So now, I figure as long as we have a car seat and some diapers, I'm no longer worried about her coming and not being ready. Oh, and just a little shameless plug, I got all our diapers and the car seat from Diapers.com. Seriously the best Web site ever. Their prices are just as low (or lower) than in stores like Costco and Walmart. And they deliver, for free, next day. AND if you use my code, JALE3166, you get $10 off your first order PLUS a $5 credit towards your next order. And they don't just sell diapers, they sell everything you'd need for a baby/child. Just sayin.

More maternity photos

This is me at 32 weeks. Don't be fooled, I feel like the baby (and as a result, my tummy) has doubled in size since these were taken.

Maternity pictures

Brittany took some maternity photos for me. I'll post more once I get the disk, but you can check out a few on her blog!

Carlie's Graduating

My little Carlie (okay, so she's taller than me. By, like, a lot) is graduating from Liahona. She'll still cheer at Orem next year, but for the most part she's done with high school and on to hair school! We took some pictures for her graduation announcement the other day, isn't she gorgeous? And so grown up?

Utah Blaze

On Friday night my parents invited us to join the family at the Utah Blaze game. I had a wedding in Logan the next day, so we decided to just head to Logan after the game and stay the night so I wouldn't have to do 4+ hours of driving by myself the next day. Our brilliant plan turned out to be not so brilliant when we got to our hotel at 12:30 am and realized our suitcase was still sitting on our bed at home. We made a late night run to Walmart to grab some hygiene essentials but unfortunately had to wear our same clothes the next day to the wedding. Awesome.
