This is the only picture we got out of the day. We went to a park before the BYU game and downed a chicken. We've become quite the fans of rotisserie chicken. Our little boy likes them too!

Day Trip to Salt Lake
Brandon and I took a day trip to Salt Lake on a Saturday and went to our first rugby games. We watched a couple of championship games, BYU being one of them, and are now fully converted to the sport. Wow...no pansies in this sport. Ouch!

High Adventure
Brandon and I went on such a pretty hike up above the Provo Temple the other day after the rain let up. Everything thing looked BEAUTIFUL up there!
This is Brandon holding onto a bush for dear life as he slid down this very steep hill of mud. Pretty funny!
Secret cave! ..it wasn't as scary as my face says it was.

Doing a little jig on a hill he climbed. :)
Brandon thought it would be a good idea to imitate all of my big-bellied poses, and I must say, he did a pretty good job. :) Silly boy.
What a fun little adventure we had!
Happy Feet
If you know me well at all, you probably know one of my trademarks...I always have less than silky smooth feet. In fact, many people goes as far as to call them "sad" or even "really gross". But as much as people think I should care...I just don't. I was named "the little indian girl" growing up, because I went everywhere barefoot, and my feet just never have recovered (and I still hate wearing shoes). Anyway...sometimes Brandon feels bad for my little cracked and dirty feet, so he takes matters into his own hands. This was one of those occasions. Needless to say...my feet were very grateful for my sweet husband.
Yes, this is a household scrubber...whatever works, I guess. It sure tickled like crazy!

Too Cute
Some people use Teddy Bears, Brandon uses my leg. I don't really know how this happened but I just had to take a picture when I looked down from where I was reading on the couch to see Brandon fast asleep snuggled up with my leg. I sure love that guy!
Girl's Weekend
Since the only time my best friends from high school see each other all together is pretty much at each of our weddings, we decided to have a long overdue girl's weekend. Nicole arranged it all and used her time-share to get us a very nice place to stay in Midway (so that I wouldn't have to travel far...thanks Nicole!). It was so much fun! It's amazing that we still get along so well, and maybe even better now that we're all married and settled. My favorite part of the weekend was piling onto one bed when we woke up in the morning and just talking and laughing for hours. What good friends I have!
My Trip Home To St. George
While Brandon was in Washington DC, I got to go to St. George and hang out with my family. It was soooo nice to catch up with everyone and actually see a little sunshine! My sweet mother and sisters threw me a Baby Shower while I was there. It was so fun, and I absolutely love the adorable things everyone got for our cute little boy! People are nice, I decided! 
My sister-in-law, Jamie, made these little sucker looking cakes (I know they have a name, but I have no idea what that name is). I thought they were so adorable.
Another exciting thing that happened while I was there was that my crazy sister, Amber, did the Ironman. Just when I thought she couldn't get any more hard-core....she just never ceases to amaze me. Never having done a single triathlon, she had about three weeks to train on a road bike and in the pool. She swam 2.4 miles, biked an insanely hard 112 mile bike course, and then ran a marathon with the temperature at about 93 degrees. She finished in 14 hours and I bawled when she came through. She is one dedicated girl and I love her to pieces!
Brandon surprised me in the middle of the night when he showed up in St. George, having just flown into Salt Lake that night. I was one happy little wife!!! He brought me roses for Mother's Day and some stuff from DC, and we got to spend all of Mother's Day together. We went to my mom's ward first, cause I sang in Sacrament meeting with my mom playing the piano (we don't get to do that together very much anymore), then we went to a different ward to listen to my friend, Colleen, speak, and then we spent the rest of the day visiting family. It was wonderful! I loved my trip home and I love my family!!!!
