The little things...

Growing up in a small town there were definitely things that I took for granted. Now that I have had a chance to experience city life for the first time, I can't wait to move back to Wyoming for good and enjoy all those little things I took for granted.

This morning I was hanging clothes out on our line to dry and it was amazing. Just the smell brought me back to being a little girl too small to even reach the line without my trusty stool! It was so quite and peaceful, the only place I get to enjoy that is in the bathroom when I lock the doors!

We have ONE stop light in our town, and it doesn't even run 24/7. 10pm-6am it turns into a stop sign! I knew every single person's middle name in my class when I was in school.

A few days ago I got pulled over by a highway patrol (bad momma!!!) and the guy was a father of one of my friends........it's completely unheard of to get away with something bad without someone you know finding out. You also have to make sure you aren't nasty and smelly before going to the store to get something because you will know the checker, the bagger, the manager and all of the people behind and infront of you!

I had forgotten how much I loved small town life, I can't wait to be able to buy a house and become a part of the communtiy that I love and will love until the day I die. I wish I could bring all of my friends here and show them how life really should be. The only people here in a hurry or are grouches are all tourists, and the locals just laugh at them anyway. It definitely helps you slow down and enjoy the little things.

Let's talk about....

Dogs. Lots of dogs.



First, there is my foo foo dog, the Gus-man. He is having a great time running around with my mom's 6 other dogs and my sister's dog. He has become one of the pack and I adore watching them all play together.

Have you ever heard the joke from Bill Engval about "When your porch roof crashes and kills more than 4 dogs.............you might be a redneck." Well, we(my parents anyway) are rednecks! Here are a few pictures of Jayda loving a few of the dogs!

She wore an....

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny green tie-dyed bikini! My family all thought I looked cute in my bikini and yes, I am brave enough to show it off to the world :)

Wyoming Fun!

Jayda has been having too much fun out here in the middle of no where! Grandma and Grandpa are definitely making sure she gets to experience everything I did as a child! Every day she gets to go outside and help with chorses. Like feeding the horses and dogs, checking on all the animals. She has a great time and really enjoys it every single day!

Helping mow the lawn with grandpa, LOL!!! (She didn't really, the mower was turned off but it sure was a cute picture!) And that is one of my parents 6 dogs!!

34 Weeks!

Well, after this week the baby has a GREAT chance of survival if born.....YAY!!! I get a weekly e-mail every time I turn a week in my pregnancy and I just love knowing what size he is and how he is developing. Right now he is apparently the size of a medium pineapple and about 5 lbs. I feel that way too, haha!!! I am still feeling pretty good even though I am almost done!





One of my best friends growing up is due just a few days after I am and today she had her baby shower! Here are some pictures of her (in red) who is due on July 23rd, and my other good friend who is due October 11th!! Aren't we all too cute?

Could it be?

Well, I got an amazingling wonderful e-mail a few days ago from my husband! He just put in a request chit for leave starting on the 6 or 7th of July!!!!!!!! It hasn't been approved yet (for those of you non-military gals, it's like a request form for the boss to either approve or deny) so I am trying not to get my hopes up but it's hard to not! He would fly straight out of Panama to Wyoming and then he would need to be back in San Diego to check into a temporary spot (until the ship returns in August) on the 29th of July. My due date is the 19th so depending on when the little guy decides to make his appearance, we might be back to San Diego early! I am really hoping and praying that he gets to be here, it really meant a lot to both of us that he was there for Jayda's birth. It's one of the most important days in a parent/babies life, I hope he gets to experience it with us!

33 Weeks

One more week down, 7 more to go! I am so excited to meet my little guy! And my ribs are DEFINITELY ready for him to be here already :)
