Good Things Utah



I love my new neighborhood! Every month the ladies on my street do a “girls night out” and it's tons of fun. My first neighborhood outing was dessert and a movie. This last time we all went to Good Things Utah; we had to get up way early, but it was worth it.
I'm posting both pics from the occasion, but one makes me look 10X bigger than I really am! I may be over 6 months pregnant in the pic, but the pic is still very deceiving... I promise! :)
And because I don't think Mindy will leave me alone until I post a pic of my Champ belly, I will try and make my next post all about showing the true Champ belly.

CRAVINGS!!


For the past three weeks all I’ve wanted are donuts and watermelon!! Since my all-time favorite donuts are unavailable (Dunkin’ Donuts) I’ve been eating my fair share of Krispy Kream donuts and they are WONDERFUL!! My favorites are the original glazed, sprinkle and cream filled. I know it's sooo bad for me, but the watermelon balances it out right?! Poor Seth isn’t thrilled about the donut cravings because he is trying to lose the sympathy weight he’s put on. However, he has been all too happy to buy the watermelon as it's one of his favorites too!

Our Garden

I love having a garden! I’ve tried small gardens for the past few years, but nothing has amounted from them. We had our first garden in Palo Alto, it consisted of three potted tomato plants, which our neighbors some how thought were theirs and stole!!! I know who takes potted tomato plants! The second attempt was at the little blue house where everything died from lack of sun (the only open space for a garden was too shady I guess). And now we have two garden boxes that seem to be getting plenty of sun, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Warning: for some reason our pictures are coming out grainy, (it’s probably a user error, but I think its time for a new camera, especially before Champ comes) so hopefully you can figure out what each picture is.

First pick of the Season! I let it get a little big, but it was still great. We grilled it and had it with our hamburgers. It's a zucchini just in case you couldn't tell. :)


The tomato plants are doing well, but it will be a little bit before anything is ready to pick. There's nothing like home grown tomatoes, I love them!!
I can't wait to pick the squash! I think I'm going to harvest them small. I love baby veggies!
The rest of the garden is doing well; let’s hope I don't accidentally kill it. :)

Kylie Ray










I just found these pics today and had to post them! It's from the first time Kylie spent the night with us at the little blue house. It was a great little sleep over, except I didn't get any sleep, I was so worried I would squish her or wake her up (she likes to sleep right next to you so she can play with your hair, and I had very short hair at the time.) Seth, on the other hand slept the whole night. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of Abby’s first sleep over with us, but we had tons of fun with her too. Abby stayed with us for two weeks and by then end of the stay we felt like we had a good taste of what it was like to be parents. We love all our nieces and nephews, even the ones we don't get to see very often.
