So unless Baby decides to come earlier (which he's not really showing any signs of), we're on the list to be induced this Tuesday (the 28th)! Nervous and excited...but mostly just excited!

Yep, Still Here...

My lack of blogging has not been due to any recent births...unfortunately. We're just waiting for the little guy to come. We've been trying to keep busy, but I think the last month is slow no matter what you do. But just for the record, I'm soooo done being pregnant and sooooooo ready to meet my baby!

June

Where has June gone? It has just flown by! It's been a very busy month for us. Here it is...

My sister-in-law was so nice to throw us a wonderful baby shower. It was a lot of fun and we're so grateful we were able to have so many friends and family members come. It was especially fun to have both my mom and Reed's mom there with us. Thanks for making the trip out to spend the weekend with us!

Reed's been feeling a little left out lately...

We had fun going to the Dinosaur Museum with Reed's parents and his brother and family at Thanksgiving PointWe celebrated 2 years of marital bliss

Then we spent last weekend in Rexburg, Idaho for our new little neice's blessing. We went up a few days early to spend time with my family and it was great. On Friday we got the grand tour of BYU-I and then went to my little brother, Bryant's, favorite spot in Rexburg-Beaver Dick Park. My crazy little brother Trae jumped into the freezing water...

On Saturday we drove up to Yellowstone. We saw lots of bison, a bear, and some elk. My favorite part was our little hike down to the Lower Falls of Yellowstone River. It was amazing!

And you all would have been very impressed to watch this pregnant woman make it back up that hill-without stopping even once!

It was a fun day-but don't bother going to Old Faithful if you're ever at Yellowstone. It's impressive that it does what it does, but it's pretty boring to watch.

And of course the blessing was wonderful. Barry did a great job and Bailey looked beautiful in Kristi's blessing dress. Thanks for the great weekend!

Now if we can just fly through July...

Bridal Veil Falls

This weekend we decided to hike Bridal Veil Falls. Saturday's weather was perfect! We first went and saw our nephew, James, play in his baseball game-he's a really good ball player! Then his family came with us to the falls. It ended up being more of a walk than a hike, but it was still a lot of fun!

Once we got home and downloaded these pictures, I realized we took this picture at the worst angle possible...
My poor shirt...I think I'll put it away until after Baby arrives...

And congrats to my hubby who earned Academic All-MPSF honors! What a stud.

Happy Birthday Bailey!

Congrats to my little sister and her hubby on the arrival of their brand new baby girl, Bailey! She was born on May 18 weighing in at 8 lbs 9 oz and 20.5 inches long! Mom and baby are home and doing well. We can't wait to meet her in June!

Stewart Falls

We are loving the warm weather we've been having here lately, so we decided to hike Stewart Falls yesterday. It was the perfect day for a hike! It was a pretty easy hike and it felt so good to be up in the mountains. The air was so fresh and it smelled so good up there! Here's a few pictures from our hike:

Once we got to the falls, we had a nice little picnic lunch! It was wonderful!

And a quick baby update, we started our 3rd trimester last week! I can't believe it! Reed has been busy finding us some good deals and we bought our travel system (thanks for your input!) and crib this week! The kid is a kicker and we love to watch him make momma's tummy move! Here's a picture from week 28:

And here's the back of the onsie Baby will be wearing to volleyball games next year-I'm so excited!
