Last week my family went on a little summer vaycay to Lake Powell.
As much as I love maternity swimsuits and how flattering they are, I decided this was the only way I was going to take my weekly prego picture.
34 weeks down, 6 to go!

look what grew in my backyard!
A couple of weeks ago I noticed these pretty little flowers starting to bud in our backyard.
This morning I went outside and the flowers had turned into strawberries!
So I made pancakes to celebrate. And they were delicious.
33 weeks
This is definitely not my favorite picture.
I'm starting to feel frumpier and bigger by the day, but I guess that's what happens when you're 8 months pregnant!

the 'favoritest' hymn of all
Here's another article I wrote for LDS Living.
It's a poll/article where readers vote for their favorite hymn in the Hymn Book (so hard to pick!).
We already narrowed it down to 12 songs in Round 1, but you can still vote in Round 2.

this drives me crazy!
I don't know why, but it bugs me so bad when Daisy lays like this!
It looks so uncomfortable, but she does it all the time so it must not be.
On a different note, I like how she is lying half in and half out of the door.

to beard, or not to beard?
I wrote an article for LDS Living a few weeks ago and I thought I'd share it here.
It's on beards.
Facial hair is super trendy right now, and in my opinion, super awesome.
I guess people are really opinionated on the topic
(just read the comments at the bottom of the story,
or my inbox of personal hate mail).
What's your personal preference for facial hair? Yes, or no?

salt lake sunset
Johnny is loving our new camera.
Last night he tried it out at sunset and took these really pretty pictures of
the Salt Lake Valley and the Draper Temple.
Maybe I should learn how to use this awesome camera and stop using my
iPhone for everything. (But it's just too easy!)

omelets & sunsets
Little things that make me smile:
Johnny making omelets
Lucille, my pink bike
Summer sunsets (oh, I have missed these)
Walking around barefoot
Instagram (seriously, where have you been all my life?)

baby girl's book shower
Yesterday, my friends threw baby girl and me the cutest shower.
The theme was books and everyone brought their favorite book from childhood, or one their kids really like.
LOVE!
Now baby girl has a library full of amazing books.
I have the best friends ever; thank you for such a great day!
P.S. I've never noticed before, but don't you think Shel Silverstein looks exactly like Tobias from Arrested Development?!

good news/ bad news
Good news: my blood work came back and ...
yes, I CAN have an epidural. Woot woot!
This has been a huge stress to me. I am not tough, and the thought of having a baby without medicine makes me want to cry. So this is very good news.
The bad news: I've gained a little pregnancy weight.
The bad news: I've gained a little pregnancy weight.

My hair is clean
I find out the results of my blood work telling me whether or not I can have an epidural during labor (please be good news!)
It's June

memorial day surprise
We went to the cemetery to visit my dad and look what was there!
My aunt, uncle, and cousins made this flag that says "Kash, we love and miss you," and then they all signed it. They are awesome!
It makes me smile to know he is still loved.
a manly memorial day
This weekend was full of yard work. Thank you, Johnny, for knowing how to use axes, saws, and weed whackers, because I am too scared to touch them.
Haha I love this picture.

pat & jerold's cross-country adventure
P&J (aka Pat & Jerold) are on a new adventure. They bought this sweet fifth wheel trailer and are driving across the country. Hope they have fun and stay safe! We will miss you!
31 weeks
Baby girl is getting bigger by the day. I can tell because she is starting to lodge herself in my ribcage; it's awesome. Also, she got the hiccups for the first time. That's a crazy sensation!
I already feel bad for our other future kids because I don't think they aren't going to get the same attention as this one. I just don't see a weekly photo happening, or me playing classical music on my stomach, or the oohing and aahing every time I watch her kick. I think the first time is a novelty, and after that, it's like, "Oh yeah, I'm pregnant again." But I'd like to think we will be as starry-eyed with them all!

happy birthday, johnny!
Yesterday was Johnny's birthday!
He requested his favorite dessert, ice cream cake. Ten solid pounds of ice cream and Oreos (yes, that would be 10 pounds) means I will be eating cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And I have no problem with this. The baby is hungry, right?
Here were some of the day's highlights:
Crepes for breakfast
We saw a zebra
Zupas for dinner
Pirates of the Caribbean with the family
Ice cream cake
(Notice how most of these involve food?)

backyard zebra
Johnny and I are on an afternoon drive when we see this:
Someone has a zebra in their suburban backyard. It's pretty awesome, if you think about it. They bought it online and are going to raise it with their horses. They also had a baby emu and a goat. I'd say our afternoon was a success.
