Friends and Pregnancy

Makayla has a best friend who lives right across the street from us. Every single day she has to play with her friend Brynlee. I just had to do a post of them playing dress up. Brynlee is such a girlie girl and always had bracelets on and loves playing dress up and all the girlie things girls do, and Makayla is more of a tomboy. She loves playing with dolls and dress up when she has friends around, but when she is at home by herself she is all about playing baseball, basketball and wrestling with her dad (with the exception of dance, she is obsessed with dance and has been in dance for a year now) So it is so fun to watch her be girlie with her friends. We are so lucky to have such great neighbors and to have a best friend for Makayla right across the street.

I think this is my first and only "pregnancy" picture I've taken with this pregnancy, I don't get dolled up very often to want a pic of myself done. (not that I'm very dolled up in this pic anyways haha)

This is my week 36 belly. My pregnancy has been going pretty darn good, other than the normal aches and pains that are associated with most women's pregnancy's it has been so so so much better than my pregnancy with Makayla. I have some back pain, but some days its not too bad where with makayla everyday no matter if I relaxed or worked i was in constant pain, so just that has been nice. I'm still sleeping pretty awesome!! Some nights I'm uncomfortable and cant sleep, but thats prob only once a week the rest of the week i sleep like a baby with the occasional waking up to pee. I still have energy for the most part, some days are very difficult though depending on what I've done that day, but I am happy. I am sooooo ready for Robby to be here. I cant wait to hold him. I do feel extremely crowded in my belly (I don't remember feeling that way with makayla) and he kicks my ribs so much that I feel like they are constantly bruised. I'm hoping he will make his entrance at 38 weeks, so here's to hope!!!

Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My!

This past weekend we went to the zoo and had a blast. Makayla just loves animals so watching her was so cute. I didn't take many pictures in fact I don't take many pictures these days at all, but here are a couple cute one's I got.

Rob and Makayla watching the Giraffe's.

hehe look at that little toosh! She has the cutest bum =)

For FHE on Monday night we also went rollerskating with some friends of ours and their kids. Our friends have 3 kids and one of them is Makayla's best friend. We bought matching roller skates for the little girls and they loved skating! My friend is pregnant too so her and I didn't get to skate but it was still fun for everyone!

they were so cute !!

This little girl is growing up so much and is such a joy to our family!

Thanksgiving 2011

We had a fun and not so fun thanksgiving this year =) It was so great being with family and Makayla loves being at grandma and grandpa Sorensen's house, but that is what made it not so fun too. She loves being there so much that every night she woke up screaming for hours waking everyone in the house up because she wanted to turn all the lights on in the house and play and when she doesn't get what she wants, she will scream for hours!!

During the day she was a happy girl though and had tons of fun playing with all the dogs and being out.

One of the days we took her around downtown and walked around main st. She had a ton of fun (the left pic is of here in a dog kennel at my sisters work)

We had girl time and painted our toes

My 2 best friends came over and we pulled out my old barbies to let makayla play with them. Can you tell we had more fun playing with them then makayla hehe

Makayla loves her Auntie!

and we got to visit Lacey while she was working (she works at a pet store). She love going in there because she gets to hold all the animals. This time she was loving the bunnies!

Rough and Tough

These two are so silly! How I love watching them wrestle

Halloween Time!

I LOVE Halloween! This year I haven't been as much into Halloween as every other year, but that doesn't mean I dont love it! Who doesn't like tons of candy, cute kids in costumes and fun activities! We went to the pumpkin patch this year as always and it was so much fun!

It was also our wards Halloween party and like usual it did not disappoint! Our ward is seriously amazing!!! They go all out for our Halloween party's. This year they had everything plus more. They had pony rides, train rides, bounce houses, bull riding, rock climbing wall, swings that fly in the air, bounce slides, cotton candy and snow cones etc...yeah like I said its amazing! The ward puts it on for all the neighborhood too so its huge and its a chili cook off too. We have been so blessed to live in such an incredible neighborhood and ward.

Here are some pictures of our party and the pumpkin patch

Makayla got her arms panted!

Isn't she so cute as little red riding hood!

Mexican Cruise

My parents are addicted to cruising, so they decided to take the whole family on one (minus the grand kids) unfortunately Rob got a new job recently so was not able to come with us which was extremely hard for me to be away from him and Makayla for a whole week, but it was still a blast. We now know why my parents are addicted and everyone is planning another cruise for next year!

there is so much to do on the ship. From endless all day and night buffets, to comedy clubs, to karaoke, to all the funny shows, dance clubs and swimming it was just non stop fun. One of the highlights was watching my brothers do Karaoke, it was hilarious and got everyone pumped up. Someone even wanted to get a pic with my oldest brother. They're famous now haha

We took some family pictures (so sad we're missing my husband) =(

It was so awesome to be surrounded by only water!

There were 2 formal dinners and this one was taken on our first formal night. The dinners were amazing! Everything is free so you can order multiple appetizers, Entrees and desserts and that's exactly what we did every single night!

This is me trying Escargot (snail!) it actually wasn't too bad, but just the thought of eating a snail grosses me out! I also tried alligator, shark, and frog legs. Sick I know but since they were all free I thought I try them just to say I've had it before.

This was a church in Puerto Vallarta. It was very pretty there although I didn't get many pictures

Here is us in Cabo San Lucas. Everyone did the zip lines (except for me cuz I'm pregnant) and we all went snorkeling!

me and my beautiful mom

The people who made the whole trip happen! Thanks mom and dad for an amazing time and experience.

us 2 girls

I'm so blessed to have such an amazing family.

just one of those days

Today I've been hearing a lot of this.....

and its been making me feel a lot like this...

I think I'm letting my pregnancy hormones get to me lately and i don't feel like I've had the patience I used to have. Maybe tomorrow I'll hear a lot less tantrums (and let me tell you that girl of mine sure knows how to scream LOUD) and hopefully I can start feeling myself again. Until then I'm counting down the minutes until Rob gets home so I can lock my door, take a bath and have some alone time.
