Nursery!!

Well last night we finally got the rest of the furniture for the baby's room so it is now complete...well almost, we have a few more things to put up on the walls but overall it's done!

I must say Tim worked really hard in here and did all the painting and put up all the cute vinyl animals that my friend Ashley made for us. Tim also put all the furniture together and all of this without me having to "nag" him! Tim got me the rocking chair for my birthday.



Here is the proof that Tim did the work (with some help from Matt)!

Fire Man Tim


At work today we had the pleasure of hosting the firefighters from the West Valley Police Department. They showed us their software as well as all of their toys. Here is a picture of me driving the firetruck. I am actually not driving it but I got to sit there. I also held the hose. That was not as easy as it looks.

French Friends



We recently had a visit from some friends from my mission in France. Their names are Magloire and Darlene. They came to the States on vacation last month. I am really glad that they stopped by. I asked them what they wanted to do during the day and Darlene said that she wanted to see the Great Salt Lake and I wanted to take them to the Box Elder County Rodeo in Tremonton that night. What is more American than the Great Salt Lake and a rodeo???


I decided to go out to Antalope Island on the way up to Tremonton. It was about 15 minutes and $9.00 out of our way and when we got there we could hardly open our car doors without passing out from the smell. We eventually made it out to take some pictures and then we shook the bugs off and climbed back into the car. Unfortunatly, we did not shake all of the flies. Jasmine was pretty sick after our small adventure.


Later that night while at the rodeo some of Jasmine's relatives thought that it would be nice to have the rodeo clown announce to the arena that they Magloire and Darlene were in the crowd attending their first rodeo all the way from Africa and France. Poor Magloire thought that the rodeo clown was calling him down to the arena (because he couldn't understand) so he refused to stand up. He was quite embarassed. I think that they had a good time and so did we. Here are some pictures to prove it.

7 More Days At Most

Well I am officially sick of Jasmine...being pregnant. She is getting on my nerves day in and day out. Just kidding everyone. She has been a magnificent pregnant lady. She is staying very active with Matthew and I.


I wanted to write a quick blurb and let you all know that Jasmine and I went to the doctor today for her last appointment before her due date on Sept. 6. Good news, the doctor said that we are going to have our baby at least by next Tuesday. We set an appointment for her to be induced that day so if she doesn't come by choice we are going to force her out.


We will post baby news as it comes in...


This is the last pregnancy picture of Jasmine that I am going to post. This is her at 39 weeks and 3 days along, or should I say a-wide!!!!!!!

I should be sleeping!!!!

So it's a little after 5 in the morning and I've been up for awhile laying in bed feeling frustrated that i can't sleep because my mind is racing!! On average I get up about 3-4 times a night to go to the bathroom or switch positions because I feel like my hip is going to detach itself from my body, sounds awesome, I know!
Tim and I went to a birthing class yesterday (this is probably why I can't sleep) and to be honest it kinda freaked me out. I thought it would be a really good experience for Tim and I to get ready for the baby but half way through the class when we were dismissed for a lunch break I was highly considering not going back for the second half. Tim was trying to make me feel better and tell me I was tough and I could do this but I'm feeling like a pansy right now. Where's a stork when you need one?! OK I'm done being a baby!
The nursery still isn't ready, we finally got the crib and set it up but we are still waiting for the dresser and rocking chair that we ordered to come in, we're quite the procrastinators. At least she has a bed and the Tim painted the room and it turned out really cute, I'll get pictures posted of that later, I'm too lazy at this unearthly hour to walk back upstairs to get the camera!
Well I feel tired again so I'm going to try to go back to sleep!
Only one official week left! (we'll say two as I know this baby isn't coming on time!)

Baby Shower



Jasmine recently had her first baby shower. If you were not invited it is because Jasmine asked that you not be. I told you all that she has been more mean since she swelled up. No it was very nice of my sister and my mom to celebrate our baby girl with a nice party. We thank everyone for all the nice stuff that we received. We also thank you in advance for the gifts that you still need to go out and buy. Jasmine has been doing really good. The baby is healthy and growing and we are busy getting things ready for her arrival. My brother and his wife are expecting as well and that is why there is a pink and a blue diaper cake. They shared their shower.

Lagoon Day!!!!!!





We were blessed to be able to go to Lagoon a couple of weekends ago. I was blessed but I think Jasmine was being punished. Since she became prego she really has not been able to enjoy the finer things in life such as Lagoon. She was able to get into the park and watch us ride rides. She was a good sport. She brought her book The Host by the acclaimed author, and Jasmine's new idol Stephenie Meyer. I think that she read over half the book. Her sister Jessy was also there and she is pregnant as well so while they compared belly sizes Matt and I had a lot of fun.


Matt was really happy to be able to go on all of the big kid rides. The only one that he would not I mean could not go on was the Rocket. He was a couple inches too small. I was suprised to find out that he could go on the rest. His first ride of the day was the White Roller Coaster. He was scared out of his mind. After the ride was over he said, "that ride just gave me a heart attack". He also went on the new ride called Wicked!!! He thought that it was pretty wicked. He and I had front seats on the Collosus. He took that ride better than the White Roller Coaster. At the end of the night we asked which ride he liked the most and he said the White Roller Coaster. We went on it 2x.


We had a fun time. I might have to take him to Frightmares. I love Lagoon.
