22 weeks and counting....

I have no further comment. You know who you are, and why I did this...

Not Your Typical Gift

My new favorite activity is to actually "window-shop" for baby things. Which is weird because I HATE window shopping and it's James' favorite thing to do, so I will only go with him if it's for "K" (who is a girl, I'll post more details later) Anyway, yesterday we were walking around Fashion Place Mall and decided to check out the new Nordstrom. We went straight to the baby section, and were introduced by the sales rep to something that I never would've dreamed of wanting, but all the sudden don't know how I could live with out. A fabulous baby sling.

Sounds silly but I guess they're WONDERFUL. Even another shopper in the department over heard our conversation and said she loved hers! So if you're looking for a cheap gift for all those pregnant people in your life check these out, you can get them off the internet for under $20. I was also told that the ones with adjustable straps are the best. Good luck!

Shake it, shake, shake it....

It's been a while since we've last posted, but as most of you know, we're going to be having a baby due August 28, 2009 (Robyne's b-day). Anyway, just wanted to post a quick update on how that's going. I haven't been sick at all, and other than the little bump and the heartbeats I'd probably be questioning the fact. I just felt it move on Saturday which was really crazy awesome! Then, even better, James felt a tiny little "thump" of a kick on Sunday. On Friday we get to finally find out if "it" is a he or a she, but for now and most likely until it's born it's still just baby "K".

Your mom's always your mom, no matter how old you get

My mom,

My best friend,

My calculator,

My peer mediator,

My cook,

My nurse,

My barber,

My shopper,

My mom100%

motherly at the core,

And lots more

Always looking out for me,

Molding me into who I want to be

Telling me to follow my dreams,

Even though the world is not what it seems

Always holding my hand along the way,

Even when we both turn old and gray

Special moments together,

For now, the past, and forever

We may get mad,

I may get very bad

We may fight,

All through the night

But in the end,

All is alright

Because I'll have,

My best friend,

Always in sight

You always give me everything,

Decking me out in fabulous bling

You rarely do anything for yourself,

You just give and give to everybody else

Truly, you don't have to buy anything at all,

What I have with you beats anything at the mall

When all my friends at school have gone away,

Here you will always stay

Love doesn't have to end,

When you are my best friend

So James had some spare time to kill and decided to upload some random pictures, but didn't want to tell anything about them I guess. So I'll try to give you a 411. The first one was taken at the top of Angel's Landing at Zions Ntnl. Park.

This one is from Bingham High's Centennial Celebration, even though you can't tell, it was pretty much just James being funny.

Finally, this was taken at Van's football game.

The End

Can you tell a difference?

Instead of 25 I choose 10 things about me (Tara)

1. I was a hopeless romantic and then I met James. I like to call him "a chick-flick guy" because he's the Landon in "A Walk to Remember"(after he straightens up of course), or the Westley in "The Princess Bride", and last but not least Gerry in "P.S. I Love You" (except alive).

2. I never want to graduate school. I've always done well so it helps my self esteem and I love learning new things.

3. I LOVE pre-school age kids, but babies scare me to death! I'm afraid to even hold a baby because I feel so awkward.

4. I love to read. However if I haven't read a novel in a long time, to get me back into things I always pick up a Jane Austin.

5. Before James I never took out my contacts every single night, used bar soap, or took many baths. I also had never eaten grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.

6. I hate being alone. I attribute it to being the oldest of five kids so there was always someone there.

7. I've always been envious of those that can draw, paint, and write. i.e. Ali, Tif, Laurel, and Linnea

8. I secretly want to be a 'skater/boarder' chick. But my fear of hurting myself and my lack of the ability to not conform seemed to always get in the way.

9. I have so many guilty pleasures that I'm beginning to think that guilty pleasures still exist because of me. i.e. Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus (there I said it!)

10. I have the best family anybody could ask for, definitely not perfect, but the best!
