Go Cougars!!!!

GO BYU!!!! Well here in San Antonio I don't get to hear the pre-week banter between fans of both of the teams. So I thought I would post a few favorite pictures for all of you!


And my personal favorite....

Go Cougars!!!!!!!!!

its only going to get worse

What is it about a protruding belly that makes perfect strangers want to touch and talk? I didn't realize the baby bump came with a sign saying "ask me inappropriate questions" or "tell me your horror stories". Although I DO like receiving advise and parenting tips - just from someone whose opinions on the subject I actually trust OR whose name I actually know. And, I don't really feel like the register at a quilt shop is the proper place to talk birthing plans. Maybe its just me. Either way I should get used to it - it's only going to get worse.

Wish I was your BFF??

You will now. . . . I made this for a friend who recently had a baby. I was SO excited about it!!! Lucky for her, I work at a quilt shop and am often looking for excuses to try new techniques. Unluckily, I don't have time to make EVERYONE I love a quilt.

**stay warm baby S**

No Michael, I CAN'T wait til Christmas.

Yes, I love surprises. No, I don't like waiting.

(not for weezer that is)

Thank you Rivers. You are a musical genious.

busy busy busy

To say we've been busy is kindof an understatement. To sum up:

Michaels BFF from HS (grade school for that matter) came to visit- we did the usual tour . . . one more alamo pic to add to the collection!! (have I mentioned we LOVE visitors???)

Thanks Ryan Becky and Peyton for coming to stay with us . . . . and hooray for FINALLY getting to meet you!! Not long after I received a call from my costume-co boss. I used to work in the warehouse and they were SWAMPED with work and offered to fly me out to work "as soon as I want, for as long as I want" I couldn't resist the chance to see my fam and the job i miss so much. I worked crazy hours but had a blast. There are many things I've missed about my old job. . . . but I got a fill for just over two weeks! it was awesome!!! We even went to Witch-fest up at Gardner Village- Our personal theme of the year was 'troll witches'. so much fun!!!

**I'm the witch with the blue hair**

While in Utah I was also able to:
spend time with family, eat delicious food (which I didn't have to cook thank you mom and costa vida) see my friends BRAND new baby (which may have made me both very excited and very scared for my own)-



attend a dear friends wedding reception,

and stand for about twenty seconds in the snow!! (notice the beautiful fall leaves in the background . . . miss that)

It was a long time to be gone but me and my sweetie survived. I doubled the luggage I took- suitcases filled with apples, apple juice, 'fat-chick' clothes, and various other baby items (lucky for me, I have four older sisters who have all had babies and are very generous)

this years Halloween pumpkins:

very excited to get some actual trick-or-treaters since we're in a neighborhood now.

Happy Halloween!!

ugh

so, I thought the whole 'not being able to sleep' thing was supposed to happen AFTER the baby gets here?

not cool child. . . . not cool.

seriously mis-informed about pregnancy.

Ode to Alon Market

I love HEB. It's true. But why does the one closest to my house have to be the size of Rhode Island?

and it's not even the BIGGEST? why does heb plus think they need to take over the world?

Oh how I miss the 'simple' HEB's . . . I mean, who REALLY just picks up a couch along with their groceries anyway? so HEB at Alon market & blanco/west ave - I miss you. If it weren't for traffic and frozen products. . . . . . I would STILL bless you with my shopping presence.
