Getting BIG!!

Well, I guess a month in between posts isn't as bad a year! Here are some new updated pics of me and my always growing pregnant belly. Both pics are kind of fuzzy cuz my camera is horrible. When it start to get low on batteries, all the pics turn out this way. Anyways, I can't believe how fast time is flying by. We are going to be meeting our new addition in about 9 weeks! We are SO excited! So, here are some pics from the last few weeks! I will keep posting the bigger I get!!!

30 weeks- I can't believe it...I am 3/4 of the way done! We will be meeting our little girl in about 10 weeks!

28 weeks....she is definitely growing!

It's About Time!

Okay, it has been almost a year since I have posted anything on here. That's horrible, I know! And in this past year, a TON of things happened. I am going to try and post about the important ones (well, at least the ones I have pics of).


First of all, we finally bought a HOUSE in June! We moved to American Falls and bought a house that couldn't be better for us if we had built it ourselves! It is in the PERFECT location for us. We sit at the end of a cul-de-sac on a private drive (Clinger Dr. that is), we are surrounded by Casey's fields that he farms, and the way our house sits, we can't see any of our neighbors from our house. So, it feels like we are out in the middle of nowhere, but we have the comfort of knowing if something were to happen we really do have neighbors close by. Anyways, here are some pics of our new house!

Next, I FINALLY graduated from college in May. I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science in Health Education. I currently do not use this degree...as I am working as a lovely receptionist for the hospital at a clinic called Pocatello Family Medicine. Even though I have a job that doesn't pay the greatest and isn't exactly what I went to school for, it has turned out to be a really great job. I get GREAT benefits which kind of pays off for the lack of income that I don't receive and I work with really fun people. Anyways, here are some pics from my glorious graduation day!

And FINALLY, the best news for last! We are going to have a BABY! We are going to have a little GIRL and she is due sometime around January 4! I am 26 weeks along and I have tried to get pics of my progress over the weeks. However, my camera died after my 18 wk picture and I didn't get new batteries until about week 24. Sorry for the loss of progress, but you will see just how much I changed from 18 wks to 24 wks! Here are the pics!

We are VERY excited parents-to-be!

Here I am at 26 weeeks (about 6 1/2 months along)

25 weeks

25 weeks again (side view)

18 weeks ( I told you there was big change from 18 to 25)!

16 weeks (about 4 months along)

Well, there you have it! A short update to a lot of things that have happened in the past year. I will try harder to keep this thing updated with pics of my pregnancy!

Destination: California

For Thanksgiving Break, Casey and I, along with our friends Nate and Camille, decided to take a much needed vacation to the happiest place on Earth - Disneyland! It was so much fun! We started the vacation off by flying into the Long Beach Airport because it was closest to Disneyland and what an airport it was, or should I say some sort of quadruple-wide trailer with razor-wire at the top of the fences.

From there, we rented a car and were off to Disneyland/California Adventure. It had been a long time since either of us had been there, so we both felt like little kids experiencing Disneyland for the first time. A few of our favorite rides were Space Mountain, The Hollywood Tower Hotel (Tower of Terror), California Screamer, and of course Splash Mountain! Starting the day before we got there, Disneyland decorated for the Holidays. It was a magical winter wonderland for sure. The princess' castle and "It's a Small World" looked amazing with all of the lights.

While in California, we also went to the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and Universal Studios. I loved the animals, especially the polar bears at the zoo and the shows at Sea World. We were able to see Shamu, the Dolphin Show and Clyde and Seamore (the sea lion and otter). We also liked the tour of the lots at Universal Studios as well as the Jurassic Park and the Mummy rides.

Overall, it was an AWESOME vacation that brought the kid out in both of us!
