16 Weeks and Girl Fun!

16 weeks! I really am showing a lot more than this, camera's really don't do the bump justice. However, you can still see a small bump.

A couple of us girls on our way to a baby shower.

We were trying to see whose mouth is the biggest, and this was our method...

I'm pretty sure Traci won. I swear it was funnier being there in
person than just looking at these pictures :)

A normal picture... Shamaine, me, Traci, Brooke, and Katelyn.

The Princess Bride

I just recently watched The Princess Bride and it is, on my opinion, one of the best movies ever made. There are several different parts that are hilarious, however, one of my absolute favorite parts is in the end. It is when Prince Humperdinck comes in to find Westley still alive with Buttercup. The series of insults from Westley to Humperdinck are genius. See below...



Prince Humperdinck: First things first, to the death.
Westley: No. To the pain.
Prince Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase.
Westley: I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.
Prince Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me.
Westley: It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.
Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.
Westley: I wasn't finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.
Prince Humperdinck: And then my ears, I understand let's get on with it.
Westley: WRONG. Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.
Prince Humperdinck: I think your bluffing.
Westley: It's possible, Pig, I might be bluffing. It's conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, that I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand. But, then again... perhaps I have the strength after all.
[slowly rises and points sword directly at the prince]
Westley: DROP... YOUR... SWORD!

14 weeks

Well some people have wanted to see if I was showing at all. I know I'm starting to show but that is only because I can see more than everyone else can. However, in this picture I hardly look like I am showing (you can see my stomach is just sticking out a little bit, but not enough to point out that I was pregnant). I think I'll have to use a better outfit because my shirt doesn't allow me to show very much. This was my 14 week picture. Right now I am 15 weeks and I really have gotten bigger but I haven't taken the picture yet. Anyway, so this is me at 14 weeks!

So You Think You Can Dance

Well I know this post is a couple days overdue, BUT I had to post on my favorite show!!

This season is going to be INSANELY good!!! Last season was quite amazing but the first night of the top 20, pretty much everyone danced their little hearts out! Now a little disclaimer: I didn't see EVERY routine, but I saw most of them. Top performances for me were...

Chelsie and Mark (Contemporary): First of all, this girl is 18 and she is from Utah and went to UVU (my school!) and did a phenomenal job. I don't know much about this guy but he is a crazy dancer and danced this piece really well, too. PLUS, it was choreographed by Mia Michaels, who is just amazing herself! Anyway, they made it to the next round and I am happy about that!

Joshua and Katee (Hip Hop): I don't know how you can move the way that they did. I couldn't take my eyes off of their routine! They were both so in unison in their dancing with such quick and complicated movements! Nate said this one was his favorite and told me that I needed to make sure and vote for them. So I did. :)

Hip Hop and Contemporary are almost always my favorite routines, but these couples danced them SO well! I'm sure their routines are on you tube somewhere, or you can watch it on the SYTYCD web page, so do everything you can to watch this amazingness!!!

Finally some pictures!

So, it has been a while since we have posted any pictures. Here are a few from the past couple of months (in no particular order)!!

Nate and I with our niece Sarah at Zion's National Park! Nate was such a good uncle carrying Sarah the entire time! He's going to be such a great dad!

Part of our hike

The game we used to announce our pregnancy to Nate's family! It turned out so good!

This is my knee. The red mark is my sunburn. For some reason the sun decided to burn only one part of my body, my knee. Random!

Nate and I with a couple from his mission. They spoke French but the husband spoke a little bit of English. He like my African jewelry that I was wearing from Nate!

Nate and I at a BYU baseball game.

The Wright fam on a bus going to our hike at Zions.

Another picture of the Wright family at Zion's.

Girls night with my sisters-in-law Betsy, Candace, and Naomi. My niece Lauren came with us too! It was a lot of fun! They are such great girls!

A new pet peeve...

Right now I am at the UVSC library trying to print out my results for my assignments for my online classes. As I go to print these few pages (we're talking 5 MAYBE 6 pages) someone decides to print out hundreds of pages of pure research. It looks like it may be for a paper but seriously, the pile is now 3 inches high!!! There is NO WAY this person is going to go through all these pages. I'm not annoyed that this person is doing their homework, but I am annoyed that they couldn't tell the small section who shares this computer that they were printing a HUGE amount and if they need to print something, to do it then BEFORE the job gets started. Unfortunately, it is not a printer that can put a job on hold and let other smaller jobs print before the other one has to finish. SO LAME!!

Steel Magnolias

This morning Nate went to go play tennis with some friends and left before I was even awake! When I did finally wake up I turned on the TV and to my delight, Steel Magnolias was on and had just started! With Nate being gone, I thought this to be the perfect opportunity to watch it and to get a good cry in. Now, every girl knows that Steel Magnolias is one of the ultimate chick flicks ever made and that you would have to have a heart made of stone not to cry in it, right? Well my heart is made of cotton balls because I bawl every time I watch this movie. Anyway, to my displeasure, Nate came home just before the parts where things get sad. He sat down with me to watch the movie, and having never seen it before, he had no idea what was going on. However, Nate does know that I am a complete sucker for these kinds of movies and just knew that I would probably lose it at any time. You would think that he would give me my space during these sad times but instead he finds it to be complete entertainment. So, he decides to sit down next to me and when a sad part comes up, he just looks at me with my eyes super wide and full of tears, trying not to lose it in front of him. So once I realized that he was looking at me I just broke down crying and he would just laugh! Even worse, he would try to get me to talk during these moments where I'm trying to hold it together, and that too would get me to unleash. Needless to say, I did get a good cry in, but was sort of humiliated while doing it. At least I was able to entertain my husband while he endured the ultimate chick flick!
