Bowling

For Brad's 21st birthday we all went bowling.

My goodness bowling has gone up in price. If it weren't for Becca and my mom's coupons, we'd all still be shining bowling shoes to pay for our games.

This is a little ramp they let Abbie use to bowl. She actually got 2 strikes that way.

Devin bowled a 137 and I bowled a 57.

Our Baby!

I found this website called http://www.makemebabies.com/ that allows you to see what your future children look like by putting in a picture of the mom and dad. Here is a preview of our little bundle of joy! A little creepy looking, if you ask me.

Inspector Gadget

I was putting clothes away in our closet the other day when I noticed all of Devin's work shirts lined up in a row. It reminded me of the show "Inspector Gadget," when he goes to his closet and says, "Hmm...what to wear, what to wear," and it's about 50 trenchcoats that are all the same.

The great thing about these shirts is that they are very versatile. Devin not only wears them to work, he can also be found wearing them on the weekends. Now that's team spirit.

Living off the Land

Last Thursday night we got a lot of rain out in Surprise. The same day we got rain is also the same day our water wasn't on because we forgot to transfer yet another thing from our apartment! So Devin is about to prepare for my nightly footrub (isn't he sweet?), but stops because my feet are distgustingly dirty. So i decide to go outside in the rain with a bar of soap and wash my nasty feet. After I washed my feet, I got the bright idea that we should fill gallon jubs with rainwater since our water was off. We filled 2 of them, then Devin filtered them with his backpacking water filter. I drank some of the filtered rainwater and it tasted amazing! The next morning Devin helped me wash my hair with the freezing cold rainwater, and my hair has never been so soft!

We aslo got a kitchen table for FREE because Devin cleaned out an old furniture store.

not bad for free, huh?

This is a picture of Dixie from that same night. I just love her. She is such a good dog.



This is a picture of my swollen foot. I can't believe the proportions certain things on my body are growing to. I can poke holes in the top of my foot and they'll stay for 3-5 minutes. Devin and me play with my playdough feet during church.

Ugly Blog

Here is my picture for the ugly post. I think i've got everyone beat. In case you're not familiar with this picture, his name is Boris, and yes, it's me. This was 2 days post jaw-surgery.

Working Girl

Well, after 4 glorious days off of work (6 including the weekend), I am back at work today. I am actually enjoying being busy and being back to a routine. Our new house is pretty cool! We forgot to transfer our APS account, so the power was turned off yesterday. haha. I was right in the middle of an episode of "A Baby Story" and it just turned off. Needless to say, our house was way too hot for a pregnant girl and a Siberian husky, so we spent the night at the Barry's. They are great!

Devin always shaves his head when he's hot (just like Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite). He leaves a mohawk in the middle EVERY TIME he does it and tries to shock me. Devin has some famous jokes that just never seem to get old (to him...). Another classic one is when we're in the grocery store, he'll grab a package of beer or other alcohol and put it in the cart, while at the same time clearing his throat so i'll notice. Oh Devin.

Well, I finally took a picture of my growing belly. 22 weeks along and massive already! 2 separate people have asked me if I'm having twins. Don't worry, I was rude both times.

I am so Amish in this picture. Our power was off, so I couldn't blow dry my hair (ergo the nasty french braid). I am also wearing one of my maternity outfits courtesy of my sister Becca. I have a feeling I am going to get HUGE.
