Camping and Fun

A few weekends ago, I joined Allen and his family up at Fairview while they were deer hunting. I use the term "camping" loosely because we were actually staying at Art's cabin, which has running water and electricity (when the generator is running). I hadn't slept much that week so I spent the time catching up on some much needed R&R while the others did some hunting, four-wheeling, kayaking and fishing. I was boring and read a book. But I love being in the outdoors and especially love all the quaking aspen up at Fairview!

You can just barely see my baby bump in this picture if you look closely.

Don't worry... Allen doesn't usually look at me like this. This is his angry

face because he couldn't get the flag off of the four-wheeler.

UTAH- UTAH STATE GAME

Thursday night I went with mom, dad and Taylor to the first Ute football game of the season against Utah State. I've got to take advantage of the games before I get too big to go. It was already rather uncomfortable sitting in that chair all night long. But worth it to see the Utes win. Granted, I wish they'd won by a larger spread but we'll take what we can get with basically a brand new team.

I loved seeing all the little kids in their Ute gear. Can't wait to get Maddie in the little Ute football jersey I bought at a garage sale years ago and have been saving until now! It's bigger than I remembered... it will still be a while before it will fit.

 

Here's my little baby belly at 19 weeks. Sorry for the bad picture quality. Cell phone picture taken by myself in a mirror. Those never turn out too well.

And here's baby at 26 weeks. Don't think I'm wearing the same outfit because I don't have anything else to wear. It was for dramatic effect. And because nothing else was clean. I'm feeling way bigger than I did then but am constantly reminded of how far I have to go. Mostly that's a good thing, as I'm kind of in freak out mode. But I was looking at a friend's baby pictures today and was wishing that she were already here. Although, I think I'm going to miss the little "nudger's" presence (Twilight reference intended). She's really active and always lets me know she's still there, something I mostly don't mind. It does get a little uncomfortable at times but I think the Big Man knew that I'd need constant reassurance if I was gonna make it through this without too many major freak outs. I'll post more pictures in the weeks to come as I get as big as a house.
