I love grocery shopping!!!
Except for the time it takes.
And the long lines.
The drive to get to the store.
OH, and when the cashier tells you how much it actually costs.
BUT other than that I love grocery shopping.
Actually, I just love looking in the fridge after everything is put away and seeing all the options.
I love having so many fresh vegetables and fruit!

I have been really wanting smoothies lately.
I was so excited to get home and make one with my mangos, strawberries, raspberries, and bananas!
I got everything else in the blender and went to grab a banana. 
But they were ALL too green.
I would see one that was a nice Yellow and of course it was green on the other side.
I was so disappointed.
Hopefully tomorrow they will be yellow enough to eat.

Costco has PANDA EXPRESS Orange sauce.
If you haven't had their orange chicken, well lets just say you are missing out.
It is absolutely delicious.
I have never been so excited to make dinner!
This is going to probably be the first recipe I will not alter or change.
This is what we do on lazy Sundays.
These are Cody's feet.

Also, today someone's baler and tractor burned.
This is the guys' that the farm hires to bale their hay & straw.
If you click on the picture you will see that there is no rubber left on the tires.
Thank heavens no one was hurt.
If anyone thought farming wasn't dangerous, they are seriously mistaken.

It even has tasty, fun treats!!!

Cody and I LOVE music.
It especially helps the lonely nights seem less lonely.

It also makes me question my sanity as a child.
Why did I choose trumpet when I could have been creating music like THIS?!

Well its official.
Harvest in Burley has started.
I am hoping that at least one day this week Cody will be home before I go to sleep.
Eventually it will be over...
I only have to wait until mid to late November to have a husband back.
But at least we get yummy foods from farming, right?!
So it is worth it.

In other news, we have a new NEPHEW!
My sister had her baby on Saturday.
His name is Krew.
And we are thrilled to have a new member of our family. 
I can't wait to meet him!
Hopefully sometime soon.
I'm thinking a Utah trip is a must, not only for him but for all the fresh fish my mom put in Grandpa's freezer!!!

As for our little lady,
She is doing well.
She loves music and likes to dance around.
As of right now her legs are down.
I have observed that her favorite pass time is kicking my bladder.
I am assuming its a love tap.
Just her way of saying,
"Hi mom, so far I like you!"
Which means I have fooled her for this long.
I give her 14 years and she will realize that I was really just tricking her.
  That I am not perfect.
Hopefully by then I will have a new plan of attack and new skills in trickery to make her think she still likes me.
As for the time being, I am taking her kicking as liking me.
We'll see if that is how it is perceived in two years!

SHE MOVES!
A LOT!
I had another ultrasound to check her heart because it she was too little to be able to really determine if everything was developing correctly.
She would not stop moving the entire time!
She was waving at us.
While in 3D, she was sticking her tongue in and out!
It was the cutest thing!
I am so excited to meet her!

Oh, and she is still a girl.


This past week we got invited to go boating.
Cody LOVES the water!
I always give him a hard time that we don't play enough or that he doesn't like sports.
But he does, just different ones from me.
He is good at wake boarding.
And loves it.


If you can't tell, Cody is about to eat it. 



Do you like his nice farmers tan?
He is not just wearing a shirt.



We bought a crib last week also.
It is one thing to tell people I am having a baby.
Its another to be starting to get the room ready and buying the furniture.

 
My mom came to visit me for a few days before my sister has her baby next week.
We've talked about how I wanted to decorate her room for quite a while.
Owls.
I love owls!
So my mom made me this cute little blanket!

While she was here we decided to take advantage and do something crafty!
We made OWLS!
The colors for her room are brown, tan, pink, and green.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way they turned out!
They are amazing and I can't wait until I actually get everything set up and hang them.
