end of summer fun

so it hit me today that this was our last summer as a young married couple with no baby. i am so excited to have a little one but we can't be as spontaneous as we have been. i am glad we were able to enjoy ourselves, even though the anticipation is killing us. our baby is growing so fast and he is getting strong. there are times when i am sitting and it looks like he's trying to punch through my belly! i love it when he is active, but i am grateful he is not super active. :) we can't wait to have this sweet boy in our arms! only 13 more weeks of being prego!

well lets see to update you on our lives...

we have been staying busy with work and school and also enjoying our evenings together. we were able to go to a jack johnson concert because our friend dave had a couple tickets he wasn't using and was nice enough to think of us. we had so much fun! it was in an outdoor amphitheater in salt lake. you bring your own blankets and enjoy the show.
this wasn't jack but it was the band that played before. the set up
was fun though. we liked the screens so we could see

nick and i also went to the utah state fair with nick's brother dan and his friend linda. i mainly wanted to go because i wanted to try the deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (sounds like a heart attack on a stick, i know..) but ended up with funnel cake instead. i love funnel cake anyways so i wasn't too sad. there was lots of entertainment and displays. we saw lots of art and photography. even a sculpture made out of butter. it kind of made me sick. :) they had some tigers there. they were beautiful. but we couldn't see them really well to get a good picture, hence the picture of dan on nick's shoulders so he could see. i should have had him take the picture dang it!

kind of weird that we are making the same face...

last week i heard about this moonlight ride in sundance. it is a 45 minute roundtrip ride on the ski lift when the moon is out. i surprised nick and took him up there with some hot chocolate, treats, a blanket and an ipod. we had a lot of fun just talking and enjoying the ride! i think we went on the last day and i was bummed. i wanted to take some friends and family with us. maybe next year...



well thats all for today but i will post some belly pics soon. and hopefully figure out a way to put some ultrasound pics on here too...

How much fun is that??! You're smart to take advantage of pre-baby time! It takes a bit to figure out how to do things with a new baby! Once you get it all worked out, though, its really not so bad. I'm excited to see your bell pics. I think pregnant girls are super cute!

You guys are adorable! Seth and I have been thinking the same way and doing as much stuff as possible before our baby comes!

Garrett and Leslie said...
