Where'd they go??

Well, it is official! I can no longer see my feet! I realized this last night, although...they have probably been missing for a week or so. Fortunately, the cankles that I have by the end of the day are not that pleasing to look at anyway! Last week, I thought..."Wow, this whole 8 month pregnant thing is not that bad." Well, this week I feel like an elephant and everything that I do takes about 4 times as long because usually I have to get up and move somewhere to do it! Only 5 weeks left...I hope!! My bladder is not going to make it much longer! I've started crossing my legs when other people sneeze, just in case I pee my pants!!

On another note...
Travis and I are really enjoying being in our new ward. There are tons of very amusing kids around and we have fun activities! We went to a corn maze on Tuesday and I made it through without giving birth or having to run out into the corn to go potty! Yea for me!! Tomorrow night we are going to a barbecue at a fish farm where people can fish if they want. And in two weeks there is a "craft night" where I can learn to be crafty...I can't be a housewife and stay-at-home mom and not learn to be crafty...right?

Hope all is well with the world out there! We love you all!!

Sadie Mae

Well, we dug out an old digital camera because our newer one is still missing in action. I wanted to post some pictures of our new dog, whom I am going to say nice things about even though she just chewed up my camping chair that was sitting in the back yard! I usually take an hour or so to sit and read outside so that she is not alone. I read and she gets her belly rubbed...it's a win-win! Needless to say, she did get her hour long belly scratch because I didn't notice the missing fabric until I got up! The mama was not happy!!

Anyway, here are some pictures of our normally sweet girl. She is such a silly dog! She loves jumping very high, but is not so graceful on the way down! She loves her belly rubbed and will practically give herself a concussion plopping on her back so you can rub it! She is spoiled...but she doesn't think so now that she spends 24/7 outside...well, almost 24/7! :)

The Final Roadtrip!!

Travis and I went on a southern Idaho road trip as our last as irresponsible non-parents! Southern Idaho is VERY dry! It's not too often that you get to see tumbleweed caught inside dust devils!!

We went to Crater of the Moon National Monument. It was very interesting and the wind was blowing so hard that I rarely got hot...which is good for me! I've been having hot flashes since the beginning of my pregnancy!!



We even hiked up "Inferno Cone" and Travis didn't even have to push me! He did pester me all the way to the top though. There was a great view from the top...even if I didn't appreciate it until I caught my breath! It's steeper than it looks!! We went climbing through some caves! The temperature was great! It was nice and cool and I didn't even get stuck climbing out!


We also went to Bruneau State Park and spent some time at the observatory and looked at the stars through one of those huge telescopes. It was really cool! The following day, we went on a 2 1/2 hour trainride up near Horseshoe Bend, ID. It was pretty boring...We did see some of the rafters on the Payette River tip over though! It's the little things that count!

We had a lot of fun! It was nice to get away! Now onto the next chapter of our life...PARENTHOOD! AHHHHHHHH!!!
