Griffin's 24!!

On August 5th we all met over at my moms house to celebrate Lindsay and Griffin's Birthday. My mom made enchiladas for dinner and had delicious cupcakes for dessert. Then we opened gifts, Lindsay got lotion, a candle, and pink pants. Griffin got a gift card to Uinta Golf!

Next we celebrated Anniversaries.

Lindsay and Zach's is on August 6th, and ours is on August 24th so my parents gave us a Willow Tree Statue. Lindsay and Zach got 2 little girl statues. We got a mom who is pregnant with the dad by her side statue. I love it!!

On Griffin's actual Birthday August 11th, We met at my parents and I gave him his gifts. He got an orange puma shirt, and some cupcakes!! We went to dinner with his family to Dickey's BBQ Pit, then over to his families for more gifts! He got a couple shirts, money, Texas Road House gc, and a cookie.

He sure had a good birthday. It went by way fast, I can't believe that he is 24!! 

I love you Griff and am so happy that I have been there with you for so many of your Special Birthdays!!

Jori's Endowment Night

One of my Best Friends Jori was able to get endowed on August 2nd in the Jordan River Temple. It was such a special night for her!! Her family and friends were there to support her and enjoy this amazing night with her. After the endowment we went to Mimi's Cafe for some dinner and dessert.

Congrats girl!! I am so happy for you :)

My First Baby Shower!!

On July 28th my cute friend Lara through me my first baby shower!! It was SO well done and SO much fun. She completely spoiled us. She had a yummy lunch and some super fun games for us to play.

One of the games was a candy bar game, not like the diaper one, you have to match certain candies to a pregnancy term... for instance, epidural was Life Savers!! So cute!

We also played "Who knows Mommy the best" my mom won. It was so fun to see some of the answers.

Present time!!!

We sure made a haul. Everyone was so generous!!

We got lots of cute outfits, Binky's, sippy cups, burp rags, diapers, wipes, bows, towel, lotion, baby wash, and a mattress!! Thank you to everyone!!! Everything will be used lots and lots!!!

Hand made towel with a hood from Dayna!!! So Cute!!!

This is a super cute Car Seat cover from my friend Court!! Holy Moly we love it!

Love little Beau Man.

Not only did Lara throw such an amazing shower she gave me lots and lots of gifts!!!! Loved it all.

My mother in law is giving us our Crib Mattress she wrote a cute coupon good for one mattress!!

What a fun day I am so excited for everything we got and can't wait to use it. Such a great first shower.

July 24th

For July 24th we went to my parents for a yummy steak dinner. We all just hung out until it got dark and then headed out to light some fireworks. My parents had bought some fun ones to watch. Laryssa was having a blast helping Grandpa set up and light the fireworks. After watching the fireworks with my family we went over to Griffin's parents to hang out for a bit.

It was a fun Holiday that went way to fast!!

30 Week Maternity Photos

July 25th my sister took our Maternity Photos. Didn't she do such a good job?!! I love how they turned out. We went to Day Break Lake and took quite a few pictures. I can not believe how fast this pregnancy is going by... It just amazes me!! SO many people said that it goes slow especially the last trimester.. They lied haha!! She is going to be here in 57 days. Oh my goodness... We are still trying to find time to get everything ready for her arrival. We did figure out our insurance issue!! Wahoo thank goodness. What a relief off my shoulders, I was getting really nervous but now Blake is covered as well as me!! We got on Griffin's work insurance, which is really good!! I am also staying on my parents insurance as a secondary, that way I am double covered and maybe with both they will cover a lot of the bills!! Fingers crossed. We had a ultra sound last week to see where my placenta was sitting, on our 18 week appointment my placenta was sitting a bit low which could result in a C section, but last week we checked and it had moved!! Also during the ultra sound we were able to see our little one!! Her face was so precious, she was doing a kissy face with her lips. Love her!!

How far along? Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks... Holy Moly!!

Total weight gain: Last week at the Dr. I had gained 19 pounds.

Maternity clothes? I have been wearing a few things of maternity, but usually I wear leggings with a baggy shirt.

Sleep: I want to sleep all the time!! When I do finally get the time to sleep, or at night, I can not get comfy.. I have a pillow for my head, my back, and a body pillow for my knees. I wake up lots to toss and turn.

Stretch marks? I haven't had any and really hope I don't get any!!

Miss Anything? Sea food, Sushi, my old clothes, and energy.

Best moment this week: I would have to say seeing her lips making a kissy face at me and Griff!!

Movement: She is quite the mover. She loves to push her feet by my ribs, and wiggle her bum around haha!! She is so sweet trying to find more room in my belly.

Gender: A little Girl. We were able to have one last check at the ultra sound last week :)

Food cravings: Nothing that I can think of. I still love fruit, cereal, and juice. I have been wanting sea food!

Anything making you queasy or sick: At night when I get heart burn it makes me really sick!!

Labor Signs: My doctor told me that I might get braxton hicks these last few weeks... I am not looking forward to that.

Symptoms: I have to go to the bathroom a lot, heart burn, sleepy, and pressure on my hips.

Belly Button in or out? In my sisters words, I am almost done, my belly button has almost all the way popped. I don't really know how much more it can pop though because it is already an outtie.

Wedding rings on or off? It still fits. :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: I am a little bit of everything haha. I think I am more happy then moody, but when people say or do dumb things it can put me in a bad mood!!

Husband this week: I don't think it has hit him yet that she is going to be here in 8 weeks. He is beyond excited for her to get here, but he doesn't realize how fast these weeks are going to go!

Looking forward to: Getting her room junked out, cleaned up, and put together!! We still need to buy furniture for her and I think we are getting her crib this week :D I can't wait!!

Baby Size: Tomorrow she will be... Week 32: Squash Average size: 15.2- 16.7 inches, 2.5-3.8 lb.

Names: Blakelee Marie Bland

Golf Tourney!!

Griff had a great opportunity to go play in a Tournament in Washington July 13 and 14. This year he signed up for the Golf Channel Armature Tour. He was so excited to play here at Cambers Bay!

It was a 2 day tournament which he loved!! His brother Devin is in Washington for a couple months with rotations so Griff stayed with him. Dev went with Griff on the tournament to caddie for him and take pictures! Thanks Dev!!

This Golf Course was like none that he had ever played on before, he said that the bunkers we way deep and there was fog all over the course. He really loved it.

Griff did such a good job, He took 2nd place!!!

They gave him a $300 gift card to go buy golf stuff!!

It also qualified him for Nationals in Florida. I am so proud of him. He has really stepped up and made golf a priority this year, he is so good!! I am a little wishy washy about Nationals.. so is he. We are not sure if he will be going.. first of all it is in Florida (pricey), and secondly It is the 2nd week of September and we are Due October 2nd.. So if for any reason I was so to early he would miss it! We will have to play it by ear.

I could not be more happy for him. He was looking forward to this tourney for a long time and he did so well!! Good job babe!

Not to mention on July 21st Griff played in Clearlinks Golf tourney. This is his team and they took 1st!!! Yay!! He got more gift cards to buy more golf stuff. He sure had a fun shopping spree buying lots of great things!! Good work Griffy you are a great golfer.
