MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND

The "bump" at 11 weeks, not much growth yet but I'm already starting to feel like an elephant

Mother's Day was so fun this year, what with being a newly expectant mother and all. Jason spoiled me that weekend by not having work Friday and Saturday and taking me out on special dates both nights! We went to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner Friday night, Cubby's in Provo, and then a movie right after, Iron Man. Good movie, but I was stressed and anxious the whole time. I get really into movies apparently. Saturday morning Jason treated me to one of my favorite breakfast's, Kneader's french toast! Amazing! And just so everyone knows, mom's get French toast for free on Mother's Day. Bonus! We stood in line for about 30 minutes, but breakfast with my husband at a restaurant,  that never happens. The french toast is "all you can eat" be we each could only handle two slices, well one and a half for me. That stuff is like eating cake! Later I got some sun time at a pool with my friend that afternoon while Jason went into work for a couple of hours. When he got home we went to another movie! We usually wait for movies to get to the dollar theater before going to see them, we're never really in a rush to see the newest movies, but there are so many good movies coming out this month that we just have to see;) Anywho, we saw The Great Gatsby a movie I have been dying to see for almost a year, and the wait was worth it. Absolutely loved that movie.

Each night was ended with 100% fruit popsicles, conversation and foot rubs instead of tickles during an episode or two of The Office. Basically an awesome weekend spent entirely with Jason. Those kinds of weekends have been rare lately so it was such a treat. It was all I wanted to celebrate Mother's Day.

I'm already anticipating Mother's Day 2014 when we'll be holding the baby that made us parents.

LIFE LATELY ACCORDING TO MY IPHONE

 

  

Life lately has been sweet and busy. With school being out I am gone working all day from 8am-7pm. So all I've had time for are personal projects, practicing the piano, and spending as much time with Jason as possible because he usually works during the evenings. Most days he is gone by the time I get home.

The weather has been lovely, Jason has gotten plenty of daddy practice in lately with his nieces and nephews, he went on a shopping spree to Barnes and Noble, spoiled me rotten over Mothers Day weekend (pictures to come), and I've been craving comfort food.

Life really is sweet and busy right now. I've just been trying to enjoy and indulge in as much alone time I can get with Jason and I've been forgetting to blog and document. That's ok though. I know what is more important. I love sharing these days with you though so I'll try to be better. I've actually been remembering to take the camera with me when I go places and start drafting posts in advance. So keep in touch because the news will keep on coming.

BECAUSE IT'S 4AM AND I'M PROUD OF MY BROTHER

Recently I attended my third and hopefully last, sibling law school graduation. All three of my brother are attorneys and this is my brother Benny. I am so proud of him. He finished in December and has already passed the BAR exam! He managed to finish a three year program in two years and work two jobs, even though most recommend you don't work at all while attending law school. He is a total champ! I don't think we need any more attorneys in my family, but I am definitely proud of all my brothers for finishing law school. You'll notice in these pictures that he refuses to smile like a normal  person most of the time, however, I think there is one where he is smiling normally. It was probably unintended. Also notice, he has been growing his hair out for months and is super proud of it. It definitely made it easier to spot him out in a BYU graduation ceremony.

It's 4 am and I am not sleeping. When your husband is sick and tossing and turning all night it's hard not to stay up worried and feeling helpless. Maybe it's time to see the doctor?....
