Still No Baby....Update Instead :)

Steve's Re-Kindled Love:

In high school and in college, Steve loved doing ceramics, and he is very talented! He promised one of his best friends, Mark, that when he got married, he would make him a bowl for a wedding gift. That is just what he is doing in these pictures. I loved watching him work.....it was so fun watching him do something that he loves!

He came home and announced that he wants to turn one of the unfinished rooms downstairs into a ceramics studio.....I'm all for it.....when the time is right! Then he can teach me a thing or two!

Mark & Monica's Wedding:

Our good friends Mark and Monica were married on October 11th......it was a beautiful day and we were so glad that we were able to be there with them on such a special day! My heart was so full as we sat with our friends in the temple. Gracie was moving so much, and I couldn't help but think how blessed I am to be married to Steve in the temple and

that we will all be together forever!

I love him so much!

Fun in a photo booth

It was so much fun to spend time with good friends who we love so much! We miss you guys!

Baby Showers:

My sisters threw me a baby shower at Cami's house in Orem for family and friends who live in Utah County, and my mother-in-law(Rita) and her sisters threw me a shower in Bountiful for the family who live in Salt Lake and Davis County. It was so much fun to see so many friends and family who I love so much!

Halloween:

This is the first year in a really, really long time that I didn't dress up on Halloween. Steve was working at the fire station, so I decided to hang out with my sisters and their cute kids. I started at Cami and Rob's, where I saw the most beautiful Giselle and the cutest Minnie Mouse I have EVER seen! I love my Kate and Andie!

Then it was off to Lara and Bryan's. Bryan was out taking the kids trick-or-treating, so I handed out candy with Lara until the sweetest Alice and the most adorable Nemo came home! I love Sara and Blake!

I had a blast with my family on Halloween....I just missed my hubby!

Girls Night:

My nieces have been wanting to have a sleepover ever since we moved into our new house, so I thought that it would be good to have a girls night before Gracie arrives. Steve was working, so it was perfect! We called it a 'Girls Only, Pajama Party Sleepover'......so fun!

We ate pizza and watched Enchanted.....

So cute....they were OUT!

The next morning they watched cartoons in my bed!

It was fun hanging out with my girls! We'll definitely have to do that again when

Gracie is here and a little older!

Firecracker:

Lara's old roommate, Sarah who lives in Texas, came to town to visit. When she and Lara lived together, Sarah was given the nickname Firecracker. One summer when our family came to Utah to visit, we spent a lot of time with Firecracker watching 'Can't Hardly Wait' everyday and drinking virgin pina colada's. We all love Sarah and it was so much fun to

spend some time with her!

Baby Update:

As of today I am 1 week overdue! This little girl has her own schedule and does NOT want to be rushed! I am scheduled to be induced on Monday Nov 30th, so we are just going to enjoy our alone time until then. Tomorrow we're going to the big BYU vs. Utah game and can't wait! We'll keep you updated and let you know when our little one arrives!
