Baby Shower

My sweet friends Jen and Jill from my ward threw me a baby shower! I was so thankful!

This is me at Jen's house.

41 weeks pregnant. My mom measured my waist. It is 41 1/2" around.

Alan took me to lunch at Zupas, our favorite, cause I was going stir crazy!

39 weeks pregnant. 

37-38 weeks pregnant.

Dancing to Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors." The girls were super embarrassed!

Here we are the Gilbert Temple Open House! It was beautiful and the girls were soo excited they got to go inside! They even wanted to wear white. I was 8 months pregnant and it was really hot so I wasn't feeling my best, but I'm really glad we went!

Emma has been taking tennis lessons at the Marriot with her good friend/ neighbor Abby from our ward. 

Brooke has been taking ballet!

Emma's Poem

Emma won the 4th grade poetry contest and she got to read her poem at Barnes and Noble! She even got a trophy!

Water

Ripples on a sparkling lake,

It glistens so divine,

Ripples on a sparkling lake,

I wish it could be mine.

It ripples and glistens,

And shimmers and shines,

I wish the rippling lake,

Could be mine.

"Fairies Are Welcome"

Brooke made this after watching the Tinkerbell movies and it just warms my heart to no end!

50's Day

The girls had 50's Day and a Sock Hop. They were VERY excited about dressing up for this. 

Here's me at about 36 weeks. I know-- I look super tired!

Alan's company party

Here we are right before Alan's annual company party. I'm about 34 weeks along. 

It was fun to get dressed up and go out together. The food was great and we slow danced. :) Alan was even nominated for an award for being innovative. He didn't win but I was so proud of him!
