Catching Up...

So...do you want to see what we have been up to lately? (Besides trying not to count down the days till this little girl is supposed to be born?) Well here you go! Lot's and lot's of random pics :)
Azuree decided she wanted to try on some of mommy's...clothes ha ha :)
We went swimming at the Cedar City aquatic center and Azuree had a BLAST! She could play in the water forever if we let her. She's the same with bath's. She love's the water!
Azuree really enjoyed this pudding!
This is a pic of Azuree pointing to the blob of pudding that she *somehow managed to get on the ceiling. Unfortunately I only got a video of the actual blob, so you'll just have to trust me that it was there.
Aaaaawww :)
One night Kiley brought home a ferret that he found wandering around his work and, needless to say, Azuree loved him! This is her watching him in his carrier that we kept him in.

I don't know why, but I think this outfit typifies childhood! Pink sweats, a very large shirt, mommy's beanie, and a balloon. Doesn't it just make you want to be a kid again?!
Showing Bug the ferret.
We took lot's of videos of our ferret friend, but unfortunately I think this is the only picture that we took of him. Now he is living with Kiley's brother and his wife. Hope they are enjoying him! He sure is a cute little guy :)
We made daddy some cookies one day before he came home from work :)
We took a trip to Hurricane and took some pic's at Grandma Jepson's house.
They are putting it up for sale now so we wanted to be sure to have a picture of it.
We went on a short little hike...
Whoa! Big belly!

 
Can you see Kiley and Owen way up there? Ya, they were that high! Crazy boys!
 

My camera has really great zooming abilities...
Azuree playing with Uncle Travis...
"A person's a person, no matter how small..." hee hee
I think this picture was my 35 week picture...
This was the first time that she has ever fallen asleep anywhere other than her bed or a crib!
 Azuree is my big helper! This is her helping me pack for our trip up north. She helped pack all the important things like her stuffed animals Jerry, Bug, Bear & Bunny!

We took a trip up north to have a baby shower for Christian's wife, Melanie. I was in charge of a lot of it and here's just a few things that I put together for it...
These were the invitations. They say "Guess Whooo's Having A Boy!"
These were treat bags filled with kettle corn (yummmm!).
Natalie did these fun decorations! They were so cute!
Thanks to everyone who helped out with the shower! I hope everyone had a good time. We love you Melanie and can't wait to meet Christian Jr! ;)

A few more random pics...
 Our St. Patricks day breakfast! Green scrambled eggs and green french toast...YUM!
 Azuree has definitely been working on her "cheeser" a lot lately! Isn't she just so cute?! :)
 Kiley had a birthday yesterday! Happy 27th Babe!
 Azuree was trying so hard to blow out the candles the whole time we were lighting them. It was so cute :)
 
 She was finally able to help Daddy blow out the candles and she loved it :)
Presents!
 He got some new shirts and ties...nothing too exciting.... Happy Birthday Kiley! I love you!
My 38 weeks and 4 days picture! It's almost time! Wahoo, we can't wait to meet this little girly!

Baby Bump, Tile & Toddler Bed

Time seems to be flying by so fast! Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks along!! Sometimes when I think about having two kids...my head hurts. No not really, I couldn't be more excited to be the mother of two little girls! :) We are all getting more and more excited for little sis' to arrive!
Baby "Bump" ~ 32 weeks
We love projects around here! When I say "love" I mean that there always seems to be an endless supply of them to do. Here is our most recent project (the one that kept us up till 2 a.m. last night)!! 
We have been wanting to transform this empty room downstairs into a little laundry room/kitchenette area. So a week or two ago we finally decided to start laying the tile!
Here are the before & after's...
Laying the first tiles...
Azuree loves helping her daddy! :)
If you ever tile, make sure to sit down and decide exactly how you want it to be laid *before you start tiling! I don't know if you can even tell, but part way through tiling we decided to change how we were going to do the outer border tiles. Luckily we hadn't laid very many and pulling them up wasn't too hard...
Before grouting...
And after!
Oh my goodness, seeing it all done gives me warm fuzzies! My wonderful husband did such an amazing job! He worked so hard on this for hours and hours and I know that he is *thrilled to have it finished as well :) Now we get to work on finishing the walls and cupboards! I can't wait till it's all completely finished...
And I don't remember if I ever posted about our bathroom tiling project...so if I did sorry, but here are the pics again. And even though it doesn't look like it in the pics, I did most of the tiling in the bathroom :)
 We finished this project in...I think December...
 Here is another one of my most recent projects. With the new baby coming we thought it was a good time to get Azuree settled in her new room with...a big girl toddler bed!  Yes, she is now sleeping in a TODDLER BED! (The crib can't be occupied when little sis' get's here, right?) Azuree is growing up so fast, I can't believe it! And it only took us about a week of trying before she was sleeping through the night in her new bed. I was very surprised that she adjusted as well as she did. Except I still have to put her in the crib if I want her to ever take a nap during the day...which she has decided that she's not going to take daily naps anymore anyways, so usually I just put her in the crib for quiet time *hoping that she'll fall asleep.
Here's her new room before...
And after a little paint.
Obviously the room is nowhere near finished yet. I still need to figure out what I'm going to put on the walls and all that fun stuff. :)
 And, of course, she is still adjusting and every now and then we find her like this... :)
 Random pic of Cub after playing in the snow :)
 Azuree and I went sledding with Uncle Christian and Aunt Melanie! Azuree had fun the fist time she went down the hill but then she got so cold that she didn't want to do it anymore. But it was fun while she lasted :)
Our good friend Aaron came down to spend a weekend! We went bowling and had loads of fun hanging out with him :)
 Sorry about the angle of this pic. Standing up takes so much effort these days ;)
 Yes, my belly is bigger than a bowling ball!
Boxes...gotta love em :)
 
 My two most favorite people in the entire world! I love them so much!
Until next time...ADIOS!
