Big News Day

I just started my third trimester.

Only 84 days left.

Its going to fly by.

One of our offers on a house got accepted.

So surreal.

Its newer so its more updated.

But still a blank canvas.

& right next to big parks and schools.

We are going on a much needed vacation tomorrow.

& we are going to play marbles

& have some awesome rest before baby comes

& plan the baby shower!

Look at things I have already bought

while scheming about this baby shower....

Oh yes I intend on buying more.

I take my glucose test tomorrow

(I don't know why I am excited about this)

I am not excited to get blood drawn again though.

Things are starting to look up.

Good News

I found a replacement camera.

I just need to remember how everything works.

& hopefully I will be able to upload the pictures.

<333

I deep cleaned the house.

& even dusted.

Life in Pictures

pregnancy trick #1

So I have all these cute dresses that are now too short.

& I was going to throw them all away and then I was like wait!

short dress now equals maternity shirt

Sometimes I think I am a genius.

(Note the cute flowers Franklin got for me *swoon*)

PS look how big I look in this picture. I feel as if I look bigger than I feel.

& I just ate a whole chipotle burrito so that may have added to it.

My Not So Secret Stash

Look what I made today.

Its a mason jar to hold all my sewing stuff.

& on top is a pin cushion.

:)

You just get a mason jar and cut out a circle

(bigger than the circle of the mason jar lid)

Then you kinda sew it like you would a pinwheel.

Then add some stuffing and finish sewing your pinwheel

and cinch it REAAAL tight and tie off.

at first I tried with hot glue... not so nice.

The Magic Continues

No I didn't get pregnant just so I could play this part.

But I do look pretty awesome.

Thanks Mandy for the pictures, wig, and awesome B-day present.

You da best!

A Very Harry Birthday

So my birthday was a day of just hanging out with Franklin

My mom took me to the antique store.

And after we hung out and laid around

we got all dressed up to go to the Harry Potter movie premiere!

We were Lupin and (pregnant) Tonks

Remember I don't have my camera so I have to wait for others to post picture before I can steal them

and blog them.

So more pictures to come.

Delayed Date Night

So here's the story...

My camera has pixels missing from the view screen

and so there are these huge black spots when I take a picture.

The warrantee ends today so I have to post mark it by today

To send it far far far away.

and be without a camera for God only knows how long.

So I went a little picture crazy last night.

my little guys.

DATE NIGHT:

Note: Why I have one burrito and Franklin has two will be explained.

Whats not sexy about burritos and strawberry shortcake?

You better believe I was dancing to Frank Sinatra in my not so sexy undies while I prepared this.

Thats marriage.

Ok so tell me if this has happened to you?

You are trying to surprise your significant other..

And you try to prepare everything for when they get home.

and you guesstimate the time.

But then they either come home too early and ruin everything

and catch you in your undies

Or you're sitting around for hours trying to preserve everything

eating half of your meal because you're too hungry to wait.

Yeah that was last night. At least it still looked pretty <3

The proof is in the pudding

This post is specifically for Lindsey.

Who did not believe my #13

on my preparing for 22 post 

If you can't remember it was my punk rock phase

This is my in your face face.

Book Shelf Bonanza

Ok so if you have ever been over to our house,

you know we have tons o' books.

So when we get our own home I was going to make Franklin make me built in bookcases

I love love love this around the door bookshelves.

& I feel as if it takes up little space because what else can you put on such a small wall behind a door?

<3<3 This is nice too I wonder if it would be too much in a darker wood.

<3 over the door again

I love books!

preparing for 22

22 Things about me

1. I slept on the couch on the night before my wedding.
2. I feel like I look stupid in hats.
3. Once when Franklin got home I pretended to clean so that it didn't look like I laid around all day I just picked up some stuff and said, "clean, clean, clean." He saw right through my act.
4. My dad use to give me money for good hits in softball.
5. I sang in choir in middle school.
6. Before moving to Arizona I thought it was going to be all sand like the Sahara desert.
7. I use to pretend I was a dog and ran around real fast on all fours.
8. When I grew up I wanted to be a contortionist & an archeologist.
9. I loved the six dollar western bacon cheeseburger
10. American Dad's Stan Smith is my dad and brother and mother.
11. I told my mom that I wanted to do cross country and she said that she didn't want me to travel across the country it was easier to not do it than to explain.
12. I was in a band called the catatonic cheerleaders... we didn't practice or meet.
13. I had my hard core punk phase.
14. I still have coloring books that I color in.
15. I played sports with the boys in elementary school. I was a tomboy but I was sad that the boys didn't like me as much as the girly girls.
16. Growing up I would watch my brother play video games for hours and hours... now I am married and watch my husband play video games for hours.
17. Dates & Numbers are important to me.
18. When I blew my first bubble (that I had been working on all day with my cousin Gina) I pulled my moms jacket to show her and she popped it. I cried.
19. I like when it rains at night and I can hear the thunder and rain when I am sleeping.
20. Franklin is my bug killer of the house. I can't deal with bugs, especially roaches.
21. I loved shopping for the first day of school and buying new folders and pens and pencils and clothes. 
22. My cousins and I used to create coke commercials and then practice them in my grandma's front yard then we would show them to the family.

The Button Jar Countdown

104 days until my due date
I was going to wait till 100 days
But I thought of this idea and its so easy I couldn't wait 4 more days...

The button jar countdown
pretty much is as it sounds like.

104 buttons for the 104 days I have left.

 I could be a hand model...

PS. Sorry about all my baby blanket/baby countdown/ baby posts.... when you're a pregnant woman for some reason its always on your mind & your always conscious of your little bump no matter how unreal it is. Thus, you get baby posts from me.

Great Aunts are Great

So I am sitting here with conditioner in my hair.

What to blog about?

That is the question.

Some of the best gifts are home-made gifts

Look what my great auntie anne made for little Daisy:

So cute! Look at that detail.

It would have taken me longer than a year to make this,

But she is knitting/crocheting extraordinaire

So it probably took her a few days to make.

I can't wait to use it!

A Kitchen Affair

I think this is the only week

that I wish it wasn't a long weekend.

Because everyone has it off,

& we can't see if our offer gets approved.

There were six other offers.

We are hopeful though.

I am already starting to make plans.

whether it is this house or not.

Big plans, especially for the kitchen <3

<33333 So I was originally thinking white cabinets with a dark wood floor

But I have a big crush on the grey.

If you love these pics I got all of them from this awesome blog called full house.

 I hope I am as cute and have a cute home after one kid let alone two sets of multiples.

Good luck girl.

I'll be blog stalking you.

The Second of July?

So we were scared out of our mind tonight

We heard huge bangs...

Then I sent Franklin out to investigate

and heard several small pops.

I thought he was getting shot.

HA. 

Who does fireworks on the second?

They were literally right behind our house. Even the dogs watched from the bed of the truck.

popcorn with benefits

It was nice to get out of the house tonight.

Today was a bummer day.

It was nice to get some free dinner from my parents

and peruse the mall with them.

I think this is the happiest I have been all day

with my seven dollar bag of zebra chocolate carmel popcorn.

Ha I love this picture it makes me smile.
