Oh summertime!

I have always dreamed of owning adirondack chairs and this spring my dream finally came true thanks to the contributions from many for my birthday :) Living in a cute, little old home made me think yellow would be perfect. Thanks Cost Plus for carrying such a lovely chair for me to lounge in in my backyard!

Feast your eyes upon these beauties:

The awesome outdoor pillows I scored from Tai Pan in Ogden to accent the chairs:

There are two chairs... so I welcome company at any time :)

My job = sperm investigator

This post is not for the queasy.

I recently experienced a patient coming into triage and informing me she believed her water had broken. One of the first questions I have to ask every patient is whether or not they have had sexual intercourse in the last 24 hours. This patient informed me that they had sex at 2 am that morning and that is when she believed her water had broken. This automatically made me jump to one conclusion...let me let you in on a basic labor & delivery fact:

Now I know how this particular patient ended up to be 9 months prego!!!!

Pregnant women surround my life!

I love being surrounded by pregnant women in my life, especially considering that most recently it was one of my favorite people and "sister". This is just a small preview of my time in San Diego.

Angela in all her glory at 9 months prego

Judah's darling room

What good taste she has


I just love the shoe collection Jerry started for Judah

**This sweet friend is the reason I spent 8 glorious days in San Diego, but unfortunately I missed Judah's "Birth"-day**

He is here (in Utah at least)

After 6.5 months of being separated

The cutest boy in camo

The happy couple behind Kaytee's FREE banner (you must love the perks of being a military wife!)

I cannot be any more proud or happy for Glendo's return. I love that I can now call Glendon on his cell phone and know he is only a four hour drive away. I am thrilled to have my favorite brother and friend back in the United States!!!!

Christmas in Boise...In January

Well after much convincing over Christmas in San Diego, I have finally taken the time to post some pictures of my Christmas decor in Boise. I must say I absolutely love the Christmas decorations we have collected, mainly consisting of lime green and hot pink!!!!

Our beautiful tree with snow right outside the window :)

This "Merry Christmas" sign captures our theme

My new addition to the tree this year

Cortney's handiwork (Stockings are my favorite part of Christmas)

Nothing says "Christmas" better than glittery trees!

Now you all can finally picture what my house looked like for the month of December in honor of the birth of Jesus!
