This weekend

We didn't do much this weekend, but on Friday we went to Blackfoot, and Aaron helped tear out the deck in the backyard so they can build a new one. They are going to take the old one up to the cabin and use it as a back porch there.Cambria and Elvis watching everyone work outside.

For some reason she put her barbie jeep on her head while we were on our way to Blackfoot. She thought it was hilarious.
Our car died on Saturday and we aren't sure why, but we got to borrow this cute car from some of our friends. Cambria thought it was so fun to ride around in because she thought it looked like her barbie jeep. It was a nice warm day and the sun was out so we took it to get jamba juice.

Mother's Day Weekend

On Saturday we spent the day in Blackfoot with Aaron's family. It was such a fun day. It was really warm outside so we decided to grill burgers, and then play outside! We made shirts, and they all came out really cute. Click on the pictures to see them bigger, then you can see what the shirts all say.
Cambria just loved being outside after the long winter we have had, and she ran around the whole time.
She even got to bat once, but then she kept running and running past the bases until she was over by the swings!

Yay Jaymee!
The school we played at was just down the road from their house, so we rode the razor and 4 wheelers over there to play. Cambria was driving the 4 wheeler with Daddy, and she was pushing down on the gas and saying "we have to go faster!"
This was our picture we took just before church, i thought I looked pretty good, but now looking at the picture I realize that I must be really tired, because I look like I haven't slept in days.
This was my mother's day gift. I had never heard of them, but it is a black purse, and then you can buy different skins to put on it.
Aaron got me a pink one, the whole pink part comes off, and you can buy different colors and prints, and it just has magnets that keep the pink part on. So fun! So now I have to go buy more!!
Cambria loves to watch movies with her dolls. She calls the one on the left Sarah, and the other one is Cee Cee now.
Corey came to stay with us this weekend, and Brenna didn't have to work, so we had Aaron cook us steak on Sunday, it was SO good! Aaron is really good at grilling and everything he makes is amazing!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

I have the greatest Mom in the world. When I was little I always took cupcakes to school for my birthday and one day we forgot them, and after she dropped us off at school she went back to get the cupcakes and brought them to me. She was still going to school herself and ended up missing her class because I just had to have my cupcakes. Her Professor had started locking people out of the class when they were late because college kids were playing around and always late to his class. So she stuck around until it was over and explained to him that she was not playing around that day, and she had 5 kids she had to get up and get ready for school before she even came to class. i must have been really little because I don't really remember this, I just remember her telling me. So it makes me feel kinda bad that I probably threw a fit until she brought me the cupcakes, and it completely threw off her whole day and I don't even remember it. But I am so glad to have a mother who cared enough to put aside what she had to do that day so that I would be happy.

Another time when I was in highschool I woke up one saturday morning around 4 and was throwing up. When she finally got out of bed I remember her asking me why I didn't come tell her I was sick. At the time I felt silly going to wake my mom up when I was old enough to take care of myself, but now I realize, especially when I am sick, that I wish she could be here and bring me sprite and crackers, and even though I am old enough to take care of myself I will always need my mom. So even though these are not the most interesting stories they always remind me of how much my mom loves me.

So happy Mother's Day Mom, Mer, Grandma, Sarah, Stacey, and everyone else who is a mother!!

My Belly

Aaron took this today, 34 weeks!! I am mostly feeling good, I still feel sick to my stomach every couple days, and my back hurts, my feet are starting to swell, but I am excited that it is close to my due date and I am ready for this baby!!! Cambria copies everything I do, when I say the baby is moving she lifts up her shirt and shows us that hers is moving too. When I have a hard time getting off the couch then she has a hard time too. I struggle going up and down the stairs, and so does Cambria. It is really cute. She always says she has a sister in her tummy.

More House Pictures

Our kitchen. Don't pay any attention to the birthday banner, Cambria found it and wanted us to put it up because she said it was my birthday. I love all the counter space we have. I made cookies the other day with Corey and we had the mixer and my recipe book and 2 cookie sheets all on the same counter! I have always had limited space in our apartments for cooking.

Cambria's room used to be green, it turned out really cute, we just need to get some curtains.

This is Brenna's room and someday will be the new baby's room. It was such a pain painting this room because it was dark blue brown and red, and the paint started to peel away from the walls when we put the primer on. It was a mess, but it turned out cute.

A bunch of tumbleweeds are in our backyard, either because they blew in or because the neighbors all around threw theirs in the yard because there is no fence and the house was vacant for so long. Aaron had to put them in the truck then make trips to the dump to get rid of them. Good thing it was a nice day outside! He also cut the grass again and put fertilizer on it, it has started to get really green in just a few days.

This is the other side of our yard, we will be putting a fence up hopefully soon.

Our upstairs living room

The play room, well sort of, we kinda just stuck some of her toys down there so her room wouldn't be so crowded.

This is the other side of that room, the family room. I love the basement because it is always cooler down there. It reminds me of going to my grandpa's house, we always thought basements were so cool because no one has them in El Paso.

Our gym....

And Aaron's office!

I know nothing looks really cute or is decorated much yet, but it is starting to feel more like home now that our stuff is all moved in.

All Moved In!

We moved all of our stuff into the new house on Tuesday. We thought Cambria would get upset when we moved her toys and bed but she was really excited to go to the new house and for her stuff to be in her new pink room. The first night she woke up around 3 in the morning because she wanted her tv on, but other than that she has loved the house and hasn't had trouble sleeping in a new place. She saw this in the garage and wanted to play in it, so for the last 3 days she has spent her mornings watching cartoons in it!


After church we went outside for a while to sit in the warm sun and draw with sidewalk chalk. We love having a backyard even though it needs one more fence, we just have never had our own backyard!!!

On Friday Aaron and his friend Albert mowed and power raked eachother's lawns. Ours took them over 3 hours to do the front and back!! I'm glad that we have so much grass and big front and back yards, but mowing the grass is going to be a real chore. Cambria got out her lawn mower on saturday morning but it was hard to push in the grass so she used it to try to clean off the sidewalk.

This is our backyard. This is only a portion of it, we got lucky that our house is on a pretty big lot. I can't wait to plant flowers or trees or something! This year we can actually get Cambria a little kiddie pool to play in, she has never had one before.

Our Easter!

Our Easter Sunday was very busy. We went to Blackfoot and grilled chicken and ribs and had tons of food and candy! We also had an easter egg hunt outside and we colored eggs.

Cambria got a barbie jeep for Easter, we made the mistake of giving it to her right before we went to church and so she ended up taking it with us to church! It was kinda funny, but I was so mad that we had to take such a big toy to church. No one seemed to care though, we just couldn't get it away from her, she even slept with it the past few nights!
This was her first experience coloring easter eggs because we forgot to last year and before that she was too little. Of course the first egg she did had to be pink!
Sunday was also Fiona's 2nd birthday. Cambria loves her cousin Fiona so much that before they moved back to idaho she was crying for Fiona for about a week. She kept saying I need my Fiona!!It was nice outside, a little windy but it was above 50 degrees so it was warm to us!Yep, she even carried her barbie jeep around during the easter egg hunt.
32 weeks!!!
