Sea world

Sea world has a program called salute our heroes. Basically every active duty service member and his family ( with military ID) get in free once a year. so we chose to go yesterday. It was a lot of fun. but very tireing. we were there till about 6 in the evening. here are some pics.

Kira and Tayvan's Visit

My friend Kira who I had not seen in 6 years came to visit from friday until today (Sunday). It was so great to see her. You would think after not seeing someone for that long it would be awkward at first but it wasnt at all it was as if we had last seen each other the day before. Well besides the fact that Tayvan is now 6 instead of 6 months. LOL

Tayvan loved playing with the dogs and they loved playing with him I didnt get any pics of them playing but we did catch tayvan putting his build a bear glasses on Goldie so we had to take a picture!! They arrived on friday night and left sunday. On saturday they went to the zoo with us. It was really nice to have their company. we are hoping to see them again soon. They want to come back to see lego land and sea world.

Valentines day at the zoo

Tony started my valentines day 5 days prior to valentines day. He said each day until V day i would either receive a gift or something telling me why he is in love with me. The first day I received a bouquet of roses 2ND day i received my massage along with a note telling me how much he appreciates me and all I do and for reminding him whats really important in life. The third day he took me to dinner and recreated how he proposed to me. The fourth day I received a bouquet of tulips. with a note that said You stand by me when you should leave. You love me when you should hate me. You take care of me when I should be alone. You will never understand how much that means to me and nothing in this world coul dever show you how much i love youbut floweres are a good start.I thought this was such a beautiful note it made me cry.

and for the last gift on V day we went to the zoo with a friend. The zoo was very special to me because even with all we were going through emotionally with Gabriel being sick in the hospital we took time out to take a short trip together to the zoo while Gabriel was in the Nicu. Although it wasn't a long trip It is evidence that even while going through the hardest thing we could ever imagine we still took time for each other and we kept each other strong.
I cant remember which night it was but one of the things he said made him fall in love with me was my occasional ditziness ( kinda embarrassing for me huh) He quoted my famous ditsy moment. "Is France in Paris??" any way he loves that about me so i guess my brain fart moments aren't that bad of a thing!!
Here are a few pics from the zoo and my beautiful flowers

only 22 days left

35 week pic

Im a lil behind but here is my 35 week pic. Its getting so close. I cant believe Cyrus will be here in 22 days!!! Im gonna miss being pregnant!!

My baby shower

My friend kelly threw me a baby shower today. It was a lot of fun. here is a picture of my beautiful hostess and some decorations.

Guess how big my belly is

My friends guessing how big they think my belly is. Kay won. My belly is 11 toilet paper squares around.

This was the guess the poop game. We were laughing at Michelle cuz she looked like she was eating it.

The cakes

My friend Kay made these cakes for the shower. The small one was made specifically for Tony so that he didnt feel left out. I thought that was sweet.

ohhh my aching back!!! i should have knocked on wood

I have either over done it or pregnancy is just catching up to me. everyone always asks how im feeling and I have always been able to say great!!! This surprised me considering how much bigger Cyrus is growing. I was just telling Tony's Dad the other night. "I dont know how my back isnt hurting yet." I should have knocked on wood because it is killing me tonight!! Im hoping it is just from all the work i have done today moving stuff around and what not. but if not im going to sit down and have a serious talk with my son about his weight!! Just kidding im glad he is growing big and healthy and my backache is just a reminder of how healthy he is!!

I believe nesting has official begun!!!

I have become increasingly more preoccupied with cleaning and getting things ready for Cyrus' arrival. but yesterday was ridiculous. the sister missionaries came and helped me clean the garage. It was extremely bad so it took most the day. we still had boxes in there from the move that we hadn't been through. I had wanted to rearrange the furniture that evening but unfortunately Lisa my neighbor couldn't come and help me with moving stuff until today so all night all I could do was go over in my head was what i wanted to do with furniture to make more room and how I wanted to rearrange Cyrus' room, and what else needed to be organized. I just couldn't get out of preparation mode. So needless to say I didn't get much sleep. I have to say though now that his room and the living room are arranged how I would like I am very happy. now I just have organizing to do. My friend Kira will be here on the 13Th and staying for a couple days so My goal is to have my house Cyrus ready so that I can just sit back and relax for the rest of my pregnancy.

Patriarchal blessing interview

I finally had my patriarchal blessing interview today. I could feel the spirit so strongly as he asked me the questions. It was wonderful. so anyway I now have my patriarchal blessing recommend. Now I just have to contact the patriarch to set up an appointment to see him. Im so excited!!
