34 weeks

Last time I talked to my dad he said "so what do you look like now?" This post is for him. Zach took a few pictures of me today next to the crib.

Pretty big, huh dad?

Ben's birthday card

Goodbye Chavezs!

So this morning we went to the greatest place on earth for all you can eat french toast. The first plate was so big, nobody even went back for seconds.

(kinda a dreary and rainy day as you can tell)

We were saying one last goodbye to Ben and Jessica before they move to Washington. Ben just recently accepted a job position with Boeing... go Ben!! He's going to be doing something nerdy with airplanes. Right Jessica? Anyways, we have really enjoyed spending so much time with them since we moved down here, but they have been here long enough and it is time to move on. As everyone hopes to do after BYU and Provo.

Good luck in Washington!!

Really late Christmas post

Hi everyone. So this is a really late post, but I guess it is better late than never. Zach and I have been going non-stop since we came back from Boise. I have been picking up a few extra shifts at work and Zach has started another semester at BYU. So as you can imagine, we are very busy. So here is a quick recap of our Christmas adventure.

Every year for Christmas, Zach and I pick one big gift that we would both really like and get it for 'us'. This year we decided to get a digital SLR camera. He likes the idea of a new toy to play with and I like the end product... pictures. I thought we would be able to share, but I guess I was wrong. :)



So we took this new camera to Boise for Christmas and got a lot of great pictures. I have just picked a few to share.

Here are the sugar cookies that Zach has been craving all year...



and here is what happens when Levi (Zach's brother) gets a hold of the cookies...



We also took a bunch of family photos while we were home. Here's a few...



Shayna, me, and Kasha (Zach's sisters)






Zach's family






Zach's dad is rarely serious... he was on a wrestling mask kick while we were there!









Taylor, me, and Ryan (my brothers)






My family, including Grandparents from San Diego





Zach and I (my dad took the picture and evidently he struggles a bit to get it centered and straight)








Here is Frank (the Glynn's dog). He played one of the wise men in the Christmas play this year. :) Not really!


Santa came this Christmas Eve as usual... this year played by my Grandpa Lee.


This is my Grandma opening a gift from Santa during the Christmas gift exchange. She had absolutely no idea what it was, and my brother nearly peed his pants laughing.


My mom also threw a baby shower for me while we were back home. Here are two really special gifts from my Grandparents. My Grandpa graduated from Annapolis and was a captain in the Navy. And then my Grandma gave me my dad's baby quilt made by his Great-Grandma. So now our little boy will have a crib quilt made by his great, great, great-grandma... WOW!

December already?

Isn't it strange how time goes by so quickly when you are having so much fun. Zach and I are loving it here in Provo. There is never a dull moment, except for the two evenings a week that I have to work... but even that is exciting. Even though we love it here, we are so excited to visit home for Christmas. We even have a list of all the things we want to do in Boise. The only thing Zach added to the list was "eat sugar cookies". I guess he is deprived here in Utah.

I wanted to give a special congratulations to two of our very best friends here in Provo, Ben and Jessica. They just found out that they are having a little baby girl. She is going to be such a beauty. Secretly I am planning the marriage of our first borns. But only time will tell. :)

Our Thanksgiving weekend

We had such a great Thanksgiving with the Rigby's and the Chavez's. We spent Thanksgiving afternoon in Provo where we had a wonderful feast. Then we spent the weekend in Park City. It was our first time in Park City and we had a blast. We ate way too much junk food, and by the end of the weekend I was begging for anything BUT a turkey sandwich.


Our Thanksgiving feast!

Zach picking the turkey clean! (My father would be so proud)


Our fun stroll around historic Park City, Utah.

By the end of the trip we were exhausted. Endless nights of playing dice until Brett finally won a game, Wii extravaganza, shopping, and movies, movies, movies. Zach and I will never forget our first Thanksgiving away from home.

After Halloween update

I know it is a little while after Halloween, but I wanted to give everyone an after Halloween update from our household. On Halloween day, Zach received a package from his Dad in Boise. Little did he know that this package would hold something so wonderful, so magnificent, that it would literally take over. For the past few weeks, I have struggled with this thing to no avail. He simple cannot take it off!


The mask has taken over his body...

While he sleeps, eats...


...and showers.


Thanks Jeff!!
