Stewart Falls!!

All summer, Karli and I have been planning on going on the Steward Falls hike. Well, we finally did it! And it was so much fun:) We met at Subway and had dinner and then embarked on our journey. I was the only one who hadn't been on it before and both Karli and Luis told me that it was a very easy hike. Practically like a nature walk. Haha they were wrong!! It wasn't bad, but it wasn't a nature walk! Haha we had fun and the falls were lovely.

Karli and Garret:)

The whole gang!

Garret decided it would be fun to run under the waterfall. I think he was kind of cold afterwords.

Haha...crazy man.

Back to School

School starts on Monday and I'm actually really excited. I've been going crazy being alone with nothing to do in this apartment all summer! I'm trying to finish up my GE's since I'm going to have to transfer to another school. I'm taking D&C, Survey of World Religions, some Political Science class, and then Independent Study I'm taking Physical Science and Humanities. I'm hoping it's not going to be too difficult, and that nothing goes wrong with the pregnancy to screw up school. Luis talked me into taking the political science class because it is one he wanted to take. It introduces different careers you can go into with a political science major. It overlaps 15 minutes with one of his other classes, and so he's going to show up 15 minutes late every class and sit with me. That should be fun:) Luis is taking a bunch of Political Science classes this semester and if everything goes ok, he's going to graduate in December. I'm so jealous haha. We'll see how our first week goes, I'm really excited to finally start doing something!

Baby Update

I am now 17 weeks pregnant and still not really showing. Luis and I can tell that I'm getting fatter but we're pretty much the only two. I had Luis take a profile picture of me a few days ago, and you can't tell I'm pregnant at all so I decided not to post it. But oh well. Haha the most exciting news this week is that we felt the baby kick on Monday! We were getting ready to have family home evening and I thought that I felt it kick so I told Luis. Amazingly, he could feel it too! The baby kept kicking me in the same spot hard! We were both tickled pink. Now that I know what it feels like, I can feel it kick more often, but Luis hasn't felt it, and it hasn't kicked as hard since then. We're both really excited, and it's fun to know that there really is a baby in there haha. We've been trying to get a lot of the big stuff that we need for the baby before school starts and so we've been going to a lot of garage sales and looking on KSL. My mom has helped us out a lot and she found us a car seat, swing, and a pack 'n play. Then we went last weekend with her and we found a baby carrier, bouncy seat, video monitor and a high chair for really cheap. She also gave us an old stroller that she's had for awhile. Luis and I were looking on KSL this week and we found a guy who was selling a matching crib, changing table, and a dresser all for $100 dollars. Luis and I were lucky enough to be the first people to call him and we went up and looked at it. It looked almost brand new and really good quality, so we bought it!! I feel like we've been so blessed to find all of this big stuff that we need for really cheap. I feel kind of weird buying baby stuff before I'm even showing, but I figure that we're going to be in school until December. Then we have to move because Luis graduates, and then January or February the baby is coming. So we just figured if we could find all this stuff for cheap now, then we won't have to stress about it later when we're trying to deal with school and move. We find out the sex of the baby in about 3 weeks and we are so excited. We both kind of want a girl because they're so cute and we can dress them up all adorable. I'd be more than happy with a boy too though because I loved having older brothers. We'll see though, I'm just excited to be a mom.

Fish Lake

Every year my dad and mom rent a cabin up at Fish Lake and our family spends a weekend relaxing, four-wheeling, and fishing!! I look forward to it every year. It's so much fun to just hang out and spend time with my family. Unfortunately, it rained a lot this year so me, Luis, Mandi, Nate, and Danae were the only ones who were able to go on a four-wheeler ride. Mandi was so excited to be reunited with her little viper haha. She was such a good sport. It had a hard time getting up the hills but as soon as we were at the top, she sure could cruise!!

Here we are in the middle of our four-wheeler ride. Fish lake is so beautiful:)

Nate and Danae, it was so fun to hang out with them again!

Niels being all gangsta.

Luis and I had so much fun fishing. My dad and Ken taught Luis how to worm a hook and to take the hook out of the fishes mouth. He's a real fisherman now!!

This is a picture of the fish I caught, I was pretty excited haha.

Shaylie was really cute, she kept telling me and Mandi to come downstairs and then she would chase after us and tickle us haha. We made a fort and then played a little dress-up.

We had so much fun!!

The only thing that I wanted to do while we were at Fish Lake was to go look at the Beavers. Finally on the last night me, Luis, Niels, Kayla and my mom made the trip to the beaver dam. Oh, and Sophie and Jazzie:D We saw a few beavers but I wasn't able to get a good picture of them because they were so far away. They were really cute though, and a lot smaller than I thought they would be. It was a lot of fun to relax and enjoy nature for a few days.

I'm so thankful for families:)
