35 Weeks

Today my co-workers surprised me with a baby shower. I don't think I have ever been truly surprised like I was today. With zero suspicion going into it I turned about the color of my shirt while I processed what was going on. Job well done!

I am 35 weeks, but have had contractions quite a bit for the last 3 weeks so we'll see how much longer this kid decides to stay in. My last trip to L&D ended with 3 shots of Terbutaline and instructions to keep this kid cookin for at least 2 more weeks.

Catch up

I apologize for the pictureless post, I just needed to write down the last couple months so I could catch-up.

We spent Thanksgiving in Utah. It was a whirlwind trip but so much fun. We did a 5K run Thanksgiving Day, spent the holiday with extended family, saw My Fair Lady, went to a UofU football game, shopped at the outlets, bought new bedroom furniture and most importantly celebrated baby! Katie and my mom put on a great baby shower with lots of family and friends. Skyler and I are blessed to have such amazingly supportive family and friends.

December Skyler finished up his semester and now is half-way through law school, we celebrated with a trip to the horse races. I discovered I am terrible at picking horses (all mine lost), Skyler on the other hand did fairly well. We went to Palos Verdes and had a relaxing Christmas with the Sanders. Jocey and Dave were in town and we spent a lot of time watching movies, visiting with family and checking out christmas lights.

Christmas Eve I had to work so I missed a big dinner, but I did get to spend Christmas day with the whole Sanders clan. Even Skyler's great aunt was in town from Louisiana. We were spoiled with great food and company.

We have been suprised how fast the last couple of months have flown by, but are excited for 2012. We hope everyone had a great New Years and we will be better at keeping everyone updated on life. Hopefully I can track down some pics so our blog will have some color again!

Behold the Baby Bump

or lack thereof. I figured at 20 weeks I should document the belly, it's small but there.

May the force be with you

Skyler and I were pretty lame last year when it came to celebrating Halloween, so this year I decided to embrace my inner Claire Dunphy. We started off the season with a trip to the pumpkin patch and ended it with 2 parties, lots of candy, yummy food, and way too much wig wearing!

Friday we had some friends over for a night of treats, chatting, and Minute to Win It games. Unfortunately with 25 people we didnt get a great group picture of everyone in costume, but I did snag this one of Skyler teaching Savannah about blasters. She found them facinating!

(Our friend took some hilarious pics during Minute to Win It, so they might eventually make it to the blog.)

Saturday we spent the morning hiking and cooking chili for the ward Halloween party. We made sure to bring the camera and document our night.

Melis, Deb and I take our donut eating VERY seriously. I like to think we burned some calories while squatting to reach our treat.

Skyler and I decided to go with a Star Wars theme this year, so I finally got to test out brown hair.

Our trunk-or-treat decorating. If you look closely you might be able to see Darth Vadar in our pumpkin. Unfortunately we forgot to snag a picture of just Darth and by Monday night our friend was moldy and withered :(.

Needless to say, after 2 solid days of Halloweening we were a bit overloaded. I guess that means this year was a success! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Great way to spend a Saturday night.....
