Baby Shower

I'm a little late with this post- the shower was on Dec. 14th. It was at Terri's cute house. She and Bianca threw it for me. They just went crazy throwing baby showers this month! It was loads of fun and everyone came- although I sadly don't have pictures of everyone. I love you all my lil' sumos!

Farewell Happy Sumo!

 

I will miss you....sometimes.

Progress...

 

So, we don't have any furniture yet. But, we did clean out this entire room (it used to be our storage room). We also painted, put up blinds, and added a new light fixture. Wow! It was so fun! Not really. But we have ordered our crib and dresser so we're on our way! You can't really tell from the picture, but the color is the perfect yellow. I don't know how we got so lucky on the first try.

Our Candyland Christmas Tree

 

So festive. Temple square.

 

Temple square. Very cold. Very fun. Garrit, me, my uncle Carlos with Lulu, Lacey, and my Grandma Christine.

 

Before

 

Ha ha...laugh it up. You're about to gain 30 pounds.

Running. Oh how I've missed you...

I can't wait to be able to really do this again. I mean, I guess I still run- if you call a slow, 3 minute jog in the middle of my walk- running. But, I'm signing up for Big Sur in April and I will run you Big Sur!

Very Lazy.

Well, I'm still in my pajamas and it's 5:30! Great! Garrit is camping and I am lazy! I finished "Love in the Time of Cholera" and wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Although, it was very good. Then, I watched various shows on food network and bravo. I then proceeded to think about the basic wardrobe staples recommended by Tim Gunn. And then...DUN-dun-dun...I remembered I was pregnant and live in a 900 square foot home. So, I decided to stop my internet shopping. Don't worry folks- I'm seriously considering jumping on the treadmill right now. So, don't feel too worried about me! And I also made a very delicious middle-eastern inspired salad for lunch. I was trying to copy "the health salad" from The Humus Place in NYC. So, I guess I'm not completely gone. This is a very long and ridiculous post.

Vegas, vegas, vegas.

 

Cool fall display at the Bellagio.

 

Fun time at O.

 

Yummy, yummy, yummy Lawry's dinner.

 

Garrit's favorite part of the trip...his two-hour bath!

Funny picture, funny man.

Well, I got caught up in all of my glitter-pumpkin glory and forgot to tell the blogging world about the fabulous night I spent with my two dear friends and David Sedaris. Last Monday, Terri, Bianca, and I made the long drive up to Salt Lake. After a lovely dinner at Red Rock- where none of us ate anything due to either a nasty stomach bug, rampant allergies, or a severe head-cold- we headed downtown and enjoyed the soft-spoken musings of David Sedaris. It was lot's of fun! He is absolutely hilarious...and a genius. Seriously, if you haven't read or listened to anything of his, it's time you did! "Me Talk Pretty One Day" is a hilarious book filled with short-stories about his life. Or, just download "Live at Carnegie Hall" from iTunes. Although, beware of his occasional use of profanity. Very funny. Love him.

Happy Halloween, Pumpkin!

 

 

I actually crafted. Crazy...but these babies turned out so cute. Notice I completed my project on an out-dated gossip magazine. And, I did it all on my miniature kitchen table. I try not to brag on my blog...but this time- I just can't help myself. My first craft project...glitter pumpkins. Aren't they adorable?

Remember when we all used to be friends you guys?

 

I guess since none of you have blogs, this post is pretty pointless. Still, I love and miss you all.

Cute

 

Indonesia or Vegas???

I really want to go here...

But, due to the fact that I'm almost seven months pregnant, I'll probably end up here...Vegas?

Yeah.

Sometimes my superficial-ness astounds me.

Cute new outfit I need to find...

Yikes!

Masks in Wal*Mart! Really freaky...don't know why we took a picture and definitely don't know why I'm posting it! Me, my mom, my sister-in-law Kamron, and my sister Kali. Wow.

Fall is the best.

Even though it can be very melancholy and full of changing and re-arranging, it makes the world seem so beautiful.

Indian Summer

Just a little BBQ in our backyard. This really is the perfect time of year. The weather is just beautiful. For some reason, I'm actually looking forward to fall/winter this year. It could just be because I love all the new fall shoes and I'm really excited for a new pair of boots.
