Memorial Day BBQ!!!....

Ben & Cal wrestling....

The Happy Couple....Just got engaged on Friday! ....Charley had to sneak into the photo!

Cousin Paul & Chelsea....Charley loved them right away....after she saw they had a dog! She thought Minnie was so fun!

Everyone thought it would be funny to make Charley lick Calvin....so they had to hold him down so she could do it! Afterward they wanted her to do it again, and Charley said "No, Calvin yucky!"

Charley loves Auntie Jordan!

The Cook!....Thanks Uncle Lloyd for the meat!

Making guacamole!...yumm

The mountain snow has been melting and made a little river that ran though Rock Canyon Park. So Ben took Charley for a little swim....they didn't last long because he said it was FREEZING!!!

It was a fun little BBQ, and we were so glad to have family around to share the day with!

My Buddy and Me!

Charley knows that every Friday she gets to play with her friend Paka! This last Friday they played in the sprinklers/hose. They had so much fun. We are gonna miss the Owans when they move!

taking it to the next level...

Not only does Charley think her pink puppy purse is a real dog....this past week, she thinks she is a real dog! She will crawl around and have us play "fetch" with her, and bark and lick us! Hopefully this little phase wont last too long!

What happended to my "Glow" I was supposed to get?

So I am 30-ish weeks. I'll be 31 on Friday.

This week has been miserable!!! I have allergies, so my nose is stuffed up all the time, and I am constantly blowing...even at night. I have itchy eyes, a headache and am sneezing 20 times a day...and I can't take anything! And I am sooo hot all the time. Charley was a winter baby, so I never really had to worry too much about being able to cool down, I just walked outside. ....Otherwise I feel great!...heehee! So my "pregnant glow" is being overshadowed by red eyes and a red nose!

My gaul bladder is doing better this time than last time. I think because I am actually planning dinners every week. My upstairs neighbor used to be a chef and told me about this cool website www.cookinglight.com. It has a lot of really healthy recipies and even tells you the nutrititonal values for each meal. Some meals I still have to adjust and make things even less fattning, but it has helped a lot.

In other news....We are moving!....but don't ask us where...we still have no idea. Because we are not students anymore, BYU is kicking us out! We could technically stay until after the baby is born, but we decided it would be better to move out before. Then I could actually unpack the baby stuff and get things washed, cleaned and set up for her to come. Poor thing, I feel like we are neglecting her, and she isn't even here yet. We have been so busy with school/graduation/family coming, my work (the end of the school year is always busy trying to tie up loose ends before summer), Ben's work, and now packing and looking for a place, I forget half the time I am even pregnant. We put in our 60 day notice, and have to be out mid June. We decided we are not going to buy yet. We want to rent and save up a little longer before we do, but most likely we will be moving up to Lehi area.

I think that's it!

A little Backwards

Most days Charley just sleeps in her clothes she is wearing that day when she takes her nap. But some days she feels the need to put her "jammies" on when she naps. Yesterday was one of those days.

She woke up from her nap and decided to change back into her clothes by herself. She strips all of her clothes off....runs to the bathroom to go (she is now pretty much potty trained, and will even do it by herself some of the time....most of the time I have to help her get on and off the toilet and makes sure she wipes and washes). She runs back into her room and comes out a few minutes latter yelling "Ta Da"looking like this...very proud of herself!...


If you can't tell her shirt in on inside out, her shorts are on backwards and her shoes are on the wrong feet. And when I went to fix her, I found her panties on backwards as well!

Here is an after picture...

Much better!

Happy Birthday Ben!!!....

Ben's Birthday was today! We went out to dinner and a movie last night with family. And today we spent the afternoon at a park at the ward picnic and tonight we are going to dinner with just our little family! It has been a great Birthday Weekend!

I have the GREATEST Husband! Love you!

The picture is of us before Charley was born, in Costa Rica before we went on the zip line tour!
