Prego Belly

I know I have done terrible at taking pictures of my prego belly. I am rarely wearing anything besides my work outfit, and besides that I don't get dressed up too often. Tyler wanted to take a picture tonight, and this is what I was wearing:



Anyways, this is me and Bubba at 27 1/2 weeks (on August 24, 2010)

Household Changes

Tyler had a blast making some improvements to Mushu's cage, and Mushu loves it! He picked these real plants from outside our apartment building, and we are hoping that they continue to grow in the tank :) Plus, since the cage looks so cool now, we moved Mushu out to the front room!!



Tyler also found a cool forest picture online and he printed it out for the cage background. It is hilarious watching Mushu get used to it...he keeps jumping into the glass thinking that he can explore the new forest. haha



We have had a blast (and a lot of help) adding to our safari/rain forest themed baby room. Tyler's brother and sister-in-law gave us the awesome white tiger, we got the monkey's while in Oregon, and Tyler found his old parrot again. There is a lot of stuff in this little room, but it is really fun! Plus we got the set finished with the curtains on the window, and the bumper pads in the crib! Thanks Mom! :)

The firefighter blanket finishes off an awesome little boy's room!

OREGON!!!

Tyler and I were able to make a trip to AMAZING Oregon. It was sort of a graduation present, and we had an absolute blast! We went camping at Beverly Beach for a couple days (we took my awesome bro-in-law CJ), as well as crab fishing on the warf in Newport. I loved experimenting with my new camera, so this first picture is a panorama that I took of Yaquina Head lighthouse and Cobblestone Cove. I had the great opportunity to meet all of Tyler's family in Oregon too. I just loved them all!! P.S. I absolutely fell in love with our little nephew Benjamin. He is so stinkin adorable, but I didn't get any pictures of him :(





Here is Tyler showing off a couple of crabs that he caught on the warf.



Breaking the rules and picking up creatures at the tide pools. :)





We all had fun standing out in the water and having contests on who could stand there longest. I usually won, but I wimped out when I couldn't feel my feet anymore.



This is a really cool picture that Tyler took through the telescope thing that you pay to look through at the lighthouse. If you look closely, you can see the seals veggin' out.







The middle seal was my favorite. He had a cute head of hair and he was quite cranky. They were really fun to sit and watch. We went back a couple of times to see them.


These next couple pictures were taken in Newport at some little shops near the Aquarium. We had a blast taking funny pictures :)





We all got a HUGE kick out of this picture of Momma Little.




Dedication to our friend Stacy Grover...long live Keiko :) HAHA

Graduation

Graduation was July 23, and Daddy Little got to come and celebrate with us. We went to the banquet and then I ditched out on Commencement so I could sit with the men :) We listened to the Commencement speaker, Elder Richard Hinckley, speak to the graduates from the Snow building. Following that, I hopped in my cap and gown and received my diploma case. It was a great night and I got to take pictures with amazing family and friends :)
