THE HOUSE

So we closed on Friday but we are still waiting for everything to go through with the bank side of things. We are waiting for the sellers to settle. It seems like it is taking forever. Mark and I are going crazy! We have starting packing and cleaning. We are anxious to get in our own place. We are hoping everything will go smoothly, as it has so far. (knock on wood) We will for sure be moving on Saturday still. Thank you all those who can help! Ahhh!

A couple of weeks ago my mom threw me a shower for my friends. It went really well. Thank you for everyone who came. I love and appreciate you all. Garrett is going to love everything he got. Here are a few pics from the party...

Buying a house

So we have been trying to find a house before Garrett gets here and...We have finally found the one we can see ourselves in! There are 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, but piping for a second bathroom. It is a split level, has a one car garage and RV parking. It is in a circle. If everything goes well with the inspection on Monday Sept. 15th we will be closing on the house on Sept 25th. The house is in West Jordan, which will be nice, cause moving won't be too far. We are way excited and so nervous at the same time. A new house and a new baby! Hopefully neither of us will have a breakdown. So far we are doing ok. I figure if other people can do it we can do it too. We are excited for everyone to come see it.

Diaper Bag

This weekend Mark and I spent the weekend with his family up in Paradise. Mark went off with the boys and I stayed home with the girls. My mother in law, Jill, helped me for 2 days making Garrett a diaper bag. It turned out pretty good. So, Jill, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!! I for sure would not have been able to get very far without your help! As you could see when I tried to pin on half of the pattern to the material against the grainlines. Sorry it took me so long to make the bag. I think it took a total of like 13-14 hours. So sad. I will do better next time I sew something. Hopefully I won't need as much help, but I will probably need some help still. It was good to see everyone. Thanks for the great weekend. We love you guys!!

8 Months!

So I hit my 8 month mark! I am feeling the same as usual...sore back, feet and sometimes even stomach. The baby gets the hiccups around 2-3 times a day. It feels so weird. When I went to my last doctors appointment he had them when she checked the heartbeat. It was funny. Mark and I are getting so excited! Mark is going to be a great dad and I am so grateful for him. He has had a lot more experience with babies then me, since he is the oldest of 9. He is going to be a great help. Well more updates soon!
