Last Post of the Pregnancy!

Being pregnant was a fun experience! I will admit it was the hardest thing I’ve done, you remember all the great things you use to do with your body that was so much easier before! For instance just getting up out of bed, I felt like a bowling ball I had to roll around to get up, also putting my shoes on… that one was really annoying for me, I remember this one time I put one of my boots on and then when I finally got them on there was a sock at the bottom, I literally think I stood there and cried! One thing I really missed when I was pregnant was that feeling of sleeping lying down all the way and even on my belly if I wanted to… I had the worst heart burn that I sat up all night, I remember waking up this one morning and my hips hurt so bad because I had slept Indian style the whole night. I also was so excited to feel my baby move for the first time, then when it finally came it was so hard to sleep and it was uncomfortable and the alien invasion was inside of you all the time and I will admit it creeped me out so bad sometimes I couldn’t look at my belly when I took a bath.

There was a few good things though, you always had cars waiting for you to cross, people opening doors for you and giving up their seat for the poor fat lady who couldn’t stand very long… Everyone is so understanding and extra sweet when they know that you have a human life you’re creating inside of you. Thinking about everything about being pregnant and how hard it is, I can come up with so many pro’s and con’s and complain and have the biggest list of all the tough and gross things a pregnant woman deals with but then why I type this I look down at my lap and I only need one pro to make everything go away and that is my dear sweet Hollynd Mae..

 

 

OcToBeR fUn!!

October is one of my favorite months of the year, my husband and I both have October birthdays... This year it was really fun because so much in our life has changed in a year! We had a new puppy, a great house and our sweet baby girl on the way. We had so much fun, on Cadens birthday he went duck hunting and we had a "How I Met Your Mother" marathon ( our favorite tv show!) Then for my birthday we went to church had a party at my parents. 

I know people probably make fun of us because we love our dog sooooooo MUCH! She is in a lot of pictures with us and we love taking her to fun things.

It's harder then you think trying to find a pregnant costume so i got a orange shirt and someone at the salon drew on the face for me. We girls at the salon have to much fun, it's nice when you can say you love your job!!

We have way too much fun!

    Caden and I are now officially proud home owners in Roy!! I'm so happy to be home with my family, moving away was one of the hardest things I've done.... I'm pretty sure we will stay home for a long time, I'm having so much fun and love living here too much. here is a little flash back of how our summer went!

                             Hazel is getting so big, we gave her her first bath she looks so sad.

Look how good she looks, so worth the torture.  

We finally learned how to make jam! Thanks to mama Earl we have a freezer full and it's so good!

 In july we went to the cutest bed and breakfast in huntsville. . It was such a nice little get away, it was so beautiful.

 We went to a fun resturant in huntsville too and it was so fun, it was outside and they had  a local band, so romantic!

      To end the summer we went to the Tremonton Rodeo and Fair, it was awesome! So sad that school has to start and the summer has to be over...

                           Caden wanted to practice his fathering skills haha I think he looks dang good with a stoller!

30 weeks!

How far along? 30 weeks.
Maternity clothes?? most definitely nothing fits me anymore, not gonna lie but I wear my pj's a little too much.
Stretch Marks? Yes they keep showing up more, I dont have any on my belly, but they are all over my sides on my hips.
Sleep? I can't wait to be normal again, lots of heartburn, and so many kicks from baby that I want to stay awake so I can feel them.
Movement? It's crazy! she has so much personality already it is so fun, but it's now to the point where I can see them out of the corner of my eye. I even felt hiccups for a little bit and that was so fun.
Food cravings? I don't really have food cravings anymore, but for some reason the smell of bacon makes me sick, and I usually love bacon..
Things you miss? I miss how easy things use to be like getting up out of the tub, also sitting normal without baby in my ribs.

finally to the third trimester!

                                We sent this picture to my sister on a mission.. She is gonna be soooo happy!

                      Here is the before picture!

old people play games too!

Last week Cado and I decided that our life needs to have alot more fun!! So last week we went bowling and we played in a arcade! It was so much fun :) Our limit was $4 per person for the arcade games and here is how many tickets we got!

    Caden did soooooo good he got 124 tickets! so he could get something cool...

          I only got 16 tickets, and for one swedish fish it was 15 tickets...

My name was crushurcandi (Crush Your Candy) and Caden chose the name Walter... I guess that has always been his bowling name. (boring!)

As you can tell Caden beat me like he did in all the games, however, this particular score came when I bowled normal and he bowled with his left hand.. sad day for me...

Valentines gift.

  For Valentines I decided to get Cado some tickets to the Bar Jay Wranglers. I know that he loves them when ever he goes to jackson hole, but I have never been to any of there shows.

 My mother go my dad some tickets too, so we made it a double date!

 Not gonna lie they were a little cheesy but they really new how to make you laugh. This picture is the band that performed before.

Also after saving and saving, Caden and I purchaced a new camera! It is really nice, so my pictures for the blog will look alot better thats for sure. :)

Big sisters adventure!

Sister Caralie Earl was called to the New York, Hill Cumorah Visitor Center mission in August of 2011. The five months flew by so fast and before we knew it we were taking the long trip to the Provo Mtc. Cara and I have always been so close, being only ten months apart we grew up almost as twins, with matching clothes and sharing bedrooms to sharing makeup and sharing clothes. I'm so excited for her she is just having the time of her life!

She was soooo nervous on the way there! She started saying " I can't do this! Turn around! I want to go home!" Then suddenly we pulled into the mtc and we saw these guys lining the curb

 She wasn't so nervous after seeing these good looking missionaries. Then suddenly she felt like she was suppose to be there and was bobbing her head and talking and laughing and having the time of her life and then we all felt comfort to leave and she was doing the right thing.

Then of course we had to comfort ourselves another way. This was the best bananna split I've ever had.. so good..

Christmas time!

We had the best first christmas ever! I decided to make a Christmas wreath and it turned out really great. We also put up our first christmas tree

For christmas eve we got matching pajamas. Go Cougars!!

Time to Redecorate!

Even though we live in this tiny one bedroom appartment I thought of some great ways to add a little flavor to our spice without breaking our contract to not paint.

I just bought some ribbion and used some double side tape and pins to put them up and it worked out really well, so far they are still up and great!
