A Cute Couple!

Baby Jump!

"Camera Shy"

Due to the Size of my Camera.. Matt isn't always a fan of me bringing it along snapping shots, so I like to choose my battles, and therefore this trip, I decided not to push the picture taking... This saves me lugging it around, and saves the Moments of an impatient husband, as i'm taking pics, or asking him to take them of me. :)

Today I took a trip by myself to "last chance" the where Nordstrom sends all there merchandise that doesn't sell, you really gotta spend some time diggin for those golden nuggets, cuz half the items look used 2 times over! Its a place where BRAND names sell for cheap, and women are vicious about getting at the new merch that gets put on the floor, plus the store is filled with parents who can't seem to control there kids(or have chosen to subject there pool children while they search for the best of the best), tantrums are happening allll over the store. Sooo I had to take the lonely road without Matt on the freeway(for some reason made me anxious this time)but I made it there and back, safe and sound.. and got to spend a couple hours shopping 8months prego, and wishing stuff still fit me pre pregnancy size. haha

The great thing about being a woman though, is that you can still shop for accessories and feel "almost" just as satisfied as buying cute clothing for the new spring/summer season!

I was able to purchase a couple cute things for the little one....a cute brown and cream elephant soft blankie, 2 useless stuffys which I couldn't resist(Jenaya we will have to make some colorful owls to accent these guys), a cream change pad cover, which feels AMAZING! Some baby burts bees products... EVERYTHING was half the price if not more then what you would get it for in Canada.. ahhh... to find deals, just fills my heart with Joy ;)

Thats it for tonight.. I'll see what I can do about gettin Matt on board with Picture taking in the next 3 days!!!

Hit or Miss

So there is this store.. called Cabela's! I have heard Matt talk about it alot amongst his buds regarding Hunting gear etc. Soooo they have one here and it was the debate whether or not I wanted to go and walk thru a store filled with Outdoor Stuff! Well this store wasn't just another Outdoorsy store, its the OUTDOOR OUTFITTER OF THE WORLD!

Needless to say, it was HUGE HIT, lots to look at, and a fun place for the whole family! I'd go back forsure :)

When you walk inside there is a stand where a lady is making Candied Almonds.. smells Amazing and Tastes even Better! They had tons landscape with every kinda stuffed(fake) animals you can imagine! They had an aquarium, where we got to see a LIVE fish feeding.

Canadian Geese were so tame and just chillin in front of the store, I felt right at home ;)

Matt loved looking at all the gear! It was pretty cool seeing him test out all the GUNS they had out in the open on display!

Lone Survivor

So Matt isn't much of a reader, (until you find him the right book I guess)... This book is my brother Mikes, and its goin through the family. Yesterday i'm pretty sure we said all of 2 words to eachother... "Goodmorning" & "Goodnight... he was so absorbed in this (war story) book after they took the "first shot" he didn't put it down, and HAD to finish it..(which just happend as i'm finishing this post). It was nice to see, but I will be happy to have him back today! :)

If your lookin for some alone time, and want your husband to be entertained while that happens.. get him this book...

As for me... An hour in the Sun & I Needed the rest of the day to re-coop! ;)

*We did enjoy CHIPOTLE for a late Dinner and a Movie to end the night, so I did still get some Matt Time after 12 hours of reading or so...

Phoenix-Day 1

First thing this morning, took me a lil longer to wake up .. not quite used to sleepin in a Queen Size Bed with this big belly of mine... This Breakfast gave us a great start of a day for our shopping trip to Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, & Ross, in which I realized its definatly going to be more about Matt this Trip, it was fun focusing on him, instead of being distracted by all the lovely things I could have for myself, the few trips to the change room wasn't quite the "dream" I had expected! PLUS, Matt is such a fun shopper when I'm not looking for myself, its alot quicker to... we were like power shoppers with a focus. I must say though I went through the Baby sections and secretly wish I knew what kinda baby we are having, everything is so much cheaper here, and sooooo much cuter then what we have available in Canada.

Pool time after our Morning of Shopping, Mattskis givin me a nice pose!

My Prego Self Tanning a much needed SUNLESS body, the baby loved it-for the record.

The floaty I got at "Dollar Tree" thinking it was adult size..... right...... didn't quite hold me above water.... there were some kids that came to the pool, so I was able to give it to them, after realizing it wouldn't work ;)

While we were at the pool, Matt thought I had lost a charm, it was right under my chair, BUT I wasn't wearing my Bracelet, and this was our First Visit to the pool. Its a Clip, (which i've been needing) I thought getting a charm in Phoenix would be a nice treat, but I just got 2 new ones for my Birthday and didn't want to be greedy... it always astonishes me how God Provides.

A delicious home made dinner to end off a Fabulous day!

Beginning of Something Special for Someone Special..

We've started our little baby room, still need the crib, and Matt has to build the wall to make it an official bedroom, but hey.. its a good start!

Sewing Saturday Success!

If it wasn't for this woman right here, I wouldn't know half of what I know today with cooking, baking, sewing etc..! Thanks for being such a great Teacher for me, & now Your Grandkids.. You a true Treasure Mom!!

Jenaya & Mikayla Pinning the Polkadot & Brown blanket (Mikayla did a great job Sewing this one) Both Girls did AWESOME with a little direction on tough spots, Jenaya Got the tougher pattern (flannelette & waffle material together, with folded over edges) She handled it like a Pro...

Finished Products!! Can't wait to Wrap my lil Bundle of JOY in EACH one! So fun having my Nieces grow up, able and willing to do creative projects together. I hope they always want to spend time with there Aunty like this! Bringing out the sewing machines brought back some good memories of when Shelley and I homeschooled!
