Silly Nephews

For the past month or so, I've been tending my brother's three kids twice a week while my sis-in-law goes to work. They're pretty fun, and my three-year old nephew, Colton gets a kick out of my growing belly. (I don't know why, seeing as my sis-in-law had a baby 4 months ago). Anyway, yesterday, he stuffed a blanket in his shirt and said, "Look Janell! I have a baby in my tummy too!" I laughed pretty hard, and was glad I had my camera.

Rowley Family "Campout!"

Where we stayed. So...this would probably qualify our campout as a retreat..but it was stil really fun! And what's a retreat without the big hot tub on the deck? Don't worry pregnancy-worryiers. It was only like 80 degress, and the most I ever did was put my feet in. I enjoyed the huge jetted tub in the master bedroom... :) The kids were bigger fans than anyone!

Heber City Aero Museum - Part 1

Part of our retreat, we took all the little kids to see the airplanes and stuff at the airport in Heber City. It is an actual air museum. My nephew, Colton, especially loved it. He was running all around like an airplane making fighter plane noises.

Heber City Aero Museum - Part 2

Who knew you could have so much fun in Heber City? From stuffed skunks hanging out of airplanes, to cute kids having matching t-shirts. We surely had fun!

Doesn't anybody care...

Showers of Fun!

Darrell's mom and aunts threw me a shower this past weekend, and we were blessed to get a lot of wonderful stuff! We got a baby bath, a travel pack and play, a bouncer, and a lot of cool toys and books. It was so much fun! Grandma Rowley gave us cute Precious Moments bedding. It's Noah's Ark. Of course, in honor of our Girls Camps skit my fourth year...:) Another shot. Look at the cute stuffed animals we have so far! I love it!

34 Weeks.. EEK!

So, here I am with six weeks left to go. Pretty scary. And sorry about the lovely background..it was the only place I could find something high enough to take a picture with the self timer!

Welcome to the USU Trailor Park! #103

Welcome to the tour of our new home! We have moved up to the USU Trailor Court, and I love it! One of the fun things, if you can notice to the left of the door way is one of our 4 rose bushes! There is also a tomato plant hiding behind that rose bush. Enter door, look right,a nd you see our piano, table, and entrance to the kitchen. You also notice the amazing high chair which we saved from going to the dumpster yesterday, and will be fun for our baby! Also, my sewing maching on the table, which has already had much fun use! As you walk over to the piano, and turn around, this is what you see. Our couch, glider, and tree. Yay! Walk to the entrance of the kitchen, and you see our TV, bookshelf, and a box that still has yet to be unpacked. And my kitchen! This picture really doesn't do it justice...but I really do enjoy it! Don't you think it's pretty??

Trailor - Part 2

Next on our tour, we'll take you down the hallway. Sorry it's so dark, the wonderful rain clouds outside didn't help the lighting. Your first right when you enter the hallway, is the lighthouse themed bathroom. You can see the shower curtain reflected in my beautiful mirror. Door #2 on your right. Soon to be the baby's room . We are still getting stuff moved in, so you can just see the crib, changing table, folded up baby sleeper thing, and a tub that will one day be full of blankets, once I finish crocheting them. And the last doorway as you go, is our fun little bedroom! This is basically all there is to it. There are six drawers under the closets, so that's very nice. And sorry I couldn't get my pillow fort in the picture. I seriously sleep with six pillows every night. Ahhhh. I love being pregnant!

Ah, the summer heat and hair!

Sunday night, this is what my hair looked like... Ah, long pretty locks...hum..locks. Maybe Locks of Love would love my hair! :) Then comes Monday morning...

Snipping Time

We decided to cut two ponytails, to help the thickness factor. Here is the chopping of the first half. Snip, snip, snip, etc. The difference.. GASP! Now for ponytail number two.... And Walaa! We have little hair!

And then..

Right after the cut. Ah, fer funness! Now for some real fun!

Here is the finished/styled product! And the old hair. Ah, tender!

Here it is after a couple hours of settling. I am loving it!

30 and a half weeks!

Here is what you all want! Here I am at 30 weeks and 4 days. Only like nine and a half weeks left! But yes, it's sure fun!

Shower of Fun! :)

Some girls in our ward threw a dual baby shower for myself and another girl in my ward last week. It was way fun! As you can tell, teething toys are my favorite. Courtney Raines and I. The two September expectant sisters in my ward. I am due Sept. 5, and having a boy, because I'm cool like that. Courtney is due Sept. 18, and they are having a girl. How exciting! Opening presents. The best part...I mean...next to the delicious cheesecake square refreshments. Katie Richards and Amber Anderson. They were the official shower photographers. They are also two of my favorite girls in my ward!

Yay EFY!

I'm sure many of you are confused, when I say I was an EFY Counselor this year. Let me explain. They now have "stay-at-home" sessions of EFY, where the kids go to a local place to go to EFY. They come in the morning, and leave in the evening. They get counselors for these sessions based on volunteers. They allowed me to volunteer, even though I was married, because I got to go home every night and see my handsome husband. It was one of the greatest weeks of my life! Also, I was not the only married counselor at our session, so I didn't feel as awkward. Now being 7 months pregnant...that did get me a few weird looks on the first day! :) Some of the counselors after a song practice. Jeremy, Kirsten, Casey, James, Amy, Janell, Corinna, Sam the cool kid, Alisa, and Nicole. We loved being able to walk the kids to the parking lot every night. We were so cool! Dallin, Kirsten, Philip, Richard, Adam, Jamee, Janell, and Jeremy.

EFY Madness

Our Company, "Cursed with a Curse" at the Logan Stay-At-Home EFY. We had a pretty fun group of 14-15 year olds. I decided they are my favorite, because they claim they are coming to meet individuals of the opposite gender, but they're too shy to talk to them. It's great! My girls and I after an evening devotional on the quad. Pretty sure this was Games Night. Erin, Meagan, and Chiloe. Some of my fun girls. Monica, Myself and Chiloe. Monica, Kimberlee, and Kelli at the service Project. I'm not sure if Kimberlee was sad or proud of her broken crayon.

We the winners!

This is one of my co-counselors, Tommy, with our winning prize, Rupert the Cow. We won him, because our company had the most points or something. We seriously were shocked how this happened...but we were still excited! Go Cursed with a Curse! Co-Counselors Rule. Here we have myself, Tommy Reck (His whole name is William Clayton Thomas Reck) and Tiffany. Way fun people! Me and my girls! Ashley Ruff, Chiloe Alius, Pregnant Cute Counselor, Ashley Aldridge, Hannah Aldridge, Britney Belliston, Kimberlee Goodey, Kelli Rindlisbacher, and Monica Anderson!
