The Latest Baby Bump

I didn't realize how big my belly looked until I looked at this picture that Brandon took yesterday. Something must be growing in there! Supposedly he should be gaining 1/2 lb a week now. Cute little guy! We sure like him. :)

Easter Saturday

Brandon left early this morning to give plasma and I woke up to find an easter egg hunt with 24 "I love you because..." notes inside easter eggs hidden all over the house. It was super cute. I decided Brandon needed an easter egg hunt too, so he got one when he got home. I love my husband!
After our hunts, we went to the Temple and then had a lovely Easter picnic on our floor since it was raining outside.
I'm not much of a candy girl, so my Easter egg hunt had notes instead of sweets in them.... but wow, did I want some of Brandon's Jelly Beans for some reason. Brandon found me on the bed opening all of his Easter eggs looking for the jelly beans and thought he needed to document it. He always finds it quite amusing when I go out of my norm. They were SO good!

Our Trip To Grand Junction

Brandon took all his finals on the first day of finals so that we could take a little trip to Grand Junction to visit his cute Grandma Johanson (He did amazing on his finals, by the way). We left on Monday and stayed with her until Thursday. We had so much fun listening to Grandma Jo tell stories about the family and helping her collect aluminum cans wherever we went. She is a very simple, frugal, kind and down-to-earth woman, and I like her a whole lot.

Brandon lived in Grand Junction from age 1 to 8, so we spent some of our time visiting all the places he remembers spending time. It was pretty cute to see him get so excited to climb his favorite tree at the park by his house and to go to the JUCO Stadium where he used to watch baseball games. We also visited his old library, Liberty Park, Graff's Dairy, his old church, elementary school, his grandpa's gravestone, and much more.

This is Brandon reminiscing his Tee Ball days on the same field he used to play on when he was a little tyke.
Us sitting in the dugout hiding from the rain (please excuse the scruffiness, I didn't get ready much while we were there....we were on vacation)
We decided to go visit Brandon's old next door neighbor, Lina and had fun listening to her tell us all about her health and every person she knows. :) Sweet lady. She is 87 years old.
Brandon couldn't leave Colorado without stopping at Highline Lake where he used to go waterski. The lake is tiny, but I'm sure it seemed much bigger to a 4 year old boy. It made him really happy to see this lake.

My Bigger Belly

My belly is still growing and jumping all around with our cute little nameless squirt inside. I'm not sure how far along I was when we took these, but I'm guessing around 30 weeks. I just absolutely love this little guy, and love feeling him squirm around and hiccup.
