Texas Fair

I totally forgot that Justin and I went with some friends to the Texas State Fair a couple of weeks ago. I think they have the most fried food in the country at this little event. From fried Snickers candy bars, to fried Coke. You name something to fry and they will try. Justin and I tried the fried Snickers bar, Justin liked it, I did not. I think we all spent about 70-90 dollars just on food. When I think about this I kick myself because I probably could of had a really good steak for what we spent on Corn dogs, funnel cakes, drinks, and of course the variety of fried food. But as Justin always says "You cant put a price on fun"!

Sorry Brittany and Josh for the bad pictures.

Juno

Sorry for the really long overdue blog everyone. Unfortunately these past couple of months have been busy! We bought and moved into a new home, our Internet wasn't being installed for two months. Justin and I went out of town for two baby showers, one in Utah and one in Idaho. And to top it off my camera is not working properly.
Quick update I am 34 wks prego, and I feel like I am 4owks, I don't know if my skin is going to allow me to grow any bigger, but every time I say that it finds a way to. I don't really have any complaints about this stage just that Justin keeps having a melt down in the middle of the night. Every time I get up to pee, he turns over ( if he is awake) and says " Is everything ok"! Yes everything is ok if it wasn't I would be screaming and I would roll over and smack you to wake up and drive me to the hospital (jk).
Last weekend we went to a friends house for a Halloween party Justin and I dressed up as "Juno" and "Paulie Bleeker". I figured there are only so many options you can go as when you are pregnant for Halloween, and what better that a pregnant 15 year old and her track running babies daddy. It was allot of fun, MK sure can through a great party and we even one cutest couple award.
Happy Halloween everyone! I will really try and stay up on my blog, so please don't send me anymore threatening mail.

Baby Beau

Here are some pics of Beau inside my belly, he looks pretty interesting right now. He currently weighs 1pound 30z.
I currently just finished the end of the Twilight saga series "Breaking Dawn". Of course I loved it but I am sad that this is the end of my soap opera addiction of a book. I know Justin is happy to see it end, since I completely abandon him and leave him to fend for himself for 2 days (rough life).
He offered to take me shopping last Saturday when my book arrived that morning, just so I wouldn't start the book and ruin his Saturday. So I decided if he was offering to take me shopping he must be pretty desperate (and truly hates these books), so we went and got me some prego clothes.
Here is a list of things I am loving and hating currently during my pregnancy, I just though I would share more of my complaints.

Hate
1.) Chines Food
2.) Pinched nerve in my Back
3.) Maternity Clothes
4.) Constantly having to pee
5.) Gaining Weight

Love
1.) Anything chocolate
2.) Prego Yoga w/my friend Ash
3.) Feeling Beau move in my belly
4.) Twilight Saga is over so I can stop obsessing
5.) That I have great Prego friends to complain and coo with
about our babies.

*A note from Smitty:

Just in case anyone is wondering how I'm doing during the pregnancy... I'm holding in there. My basic duties remain the same: dishes, trash, scoop ice cream and mood swing damage control.

Current interests:
Vampire books (ha) but a good book to check out is "The Last Patriot," by Brad Thor;
Golf;
Getting my mind right for football season (I think Favre should just agree to play for 16 different teams this season playing every week for a different team, so we can all have a chance to throw something at him);
I am also currently training myself to become the worlds greatest SaaS (Google it) sales rep because I got a kid on the way and need to start stacking that paper.

A new man in my life

So it's official we are having a boy. I went in at 17 wks and my Dr. thought it was a boy, and today at 21 wks it was confirmed. Justin and I are both very excited, Smitty was ecstatic at the apt today when we saw the baby had a willie. When the doctor started the sonogram our baby was spread eagle so I asked right when she started if I was seeing what looked like boy parts and she said, "Ya that is definitely a boy". Everything is healthy and going well, I have very little complaints in the discomfort area. I am starting to get use to looking more round, though I still don't like this stage that I am in because people still are not quite sure if I am pregnant or just a little plump. My clothes are starting to get pretty tight but I cant fit into maternity yet so I just have to buy bigger sizes, and that is still a challenge. I am a cheap skate and don't want to spend money on something that for one is a bigger size and two I will only be able to wear for a couple of months. I have used the "Belly Band" a couple of times but they are so hot especially when it is 100+ degrees in Texas right now, and I am wearing 3 layers of clothing. So like I said not to many complaints I am just glad to have a pretty easy pregnancy thus far, hopefully I will have a easy birth, but most likely I wont get the best of both worlds.

Family Reunion part deaux

This is a good shot of some waves that they were about to run into.

Here's a pic of the gang in some rapids on the South Fork.
Smitty with the big kid's was able to go on the South Fork of the Payette River. My cousin Jared the one in front of Smitty, fell in Smit's lap on Staircase(big rapid) and then fell out of the boat. It was all good though.
Above Smitty in the red boat and my cousin Jared in the blue boat are catchin some good waves.


Here is Smitty in a Ducky that he loved so much when we were on the Salmon river a coulple of years ago, he decided he would do it again.






So We had a great couple of day's in Idaho. Justin said the South Fork was an amazing experience and he wanted to do it again. I only went on the family friendly waves since I was 4 months prego, maybe some day soon I will grow big arm muscles like Smitty(ha ha) so I can go on the South Fork with the big Kids.
I miss my family they are such a blast to be around hopefully some day soon we will live closer to everone, so that Justin and I can go on these trips more than once a year.

Family Reunion

Sorry everyone for the slow blogging, I have been busy. So here are some pics from my family reunion in Idaho.
This is a small portion of my family, but the only ones who went rafting that day. Did i mention that I was 4 months prego and white water rafting!
Smitty puttin air into the boat he looks like he is working hard but he's really not.
Not the best pic but it's of us gettin ready for a rapid, we look like a center for ants.
This is Smitty and I one the first run of the day, Smit's in front on the left, I am one person behind him and my dad was the guide on the back.

Memorial Day weekend

Sorry it's been so long since I have put up a new post about Smitty and I, but I have been busy and I have finally found some time to write a post.
This weekend has been a lot fun, Smitty's dad George came into town a.k.a (Dave). He took us to this awesome restaurant called Chamberlain's Steak and Chop House. It was so good, I definitely recommend it to any one who can afford it the only reason Smitty and I got to go was because it was on George's dime. Smitty and George also went golfing at Castle Hills golf course. The weather was over cast that day so my very "Mayo white" hubby decided he didn't need sun screen, and I will just leave it at that. It's always great when we can see family, We miss you all a ton.
Saturday Smitty and I went to Hurricane Harbor (it's a water park), it was a ton of fun. We got there early so we could try and beat most of the crowd that would be there that day, but every one else had the same idea. We went on almost every ride, Smitty got sunburned again (not surprised). So after a few wedges, weird people, and 5 hours later, we decided we were spent and headed home.
The rest of the weekend we are going to relax, BBQ, and maybe hit up the new Indiana Jones movie. I will definitely try and stay up on my blog, so every one can stop buggin me about how old my post's are.
