Eight Months or 35 Weeks

This may be the last posting of my belly. At least I hope it is!! I've finally hit the uncomfortable stage where you get the shooting pains down your legs, charley horses, back aches, sore ribs, etc.

We think we would rather have a crying baby now than an uncomfortable Nancee. We may change our minds after it is too late.

Kayla looks ready for the baby to come too. Actually, I think she is hoping I have a treat for her.

The Yard Continued...

Here are a bunch of weeds in the backyard. They are all gone now and we hope to eventually terrace the ground by the cinderblock wall, add grass and extend our patio. Next, is a view from the same hill looking down at Troy and the back patio. He is practicing holding the baby (with Kayla).

Troy spent a lot of time making the front yard look nice. He even chopped down this tree (with a little help from the monsoon storm that already blew it sideways).

The most exciting part of working on the backyard was when I found this toad. Isn't it cute?

The Baby Shower

My sweet cousin threw us the greatest baby shower in July. The theme was frogs and ducks. Here are some cute decorations from the shower.

The food was amazing!!

This is the best picture we have of us opening gifts.

The Kayla Section

There always has to be a section dedicated to the dog (at least until the baby comes). Here is Kayla kissing Troy...


Kayla meeting her counsins...

31 Weeks or 7 Months

So I don't think any pregnant woman really likes to take pictures of her belly at the end. You just feel large and uncomfortable. Anyway, for those who have asked, I've decided to post some anyway.



This looks like a mug shot.



Supposedly my uterus is about the size of a basketball. Our little girl seems to think that is not large enough because she keeps kicking and pushing for more room (especially under the right rib).



I still can't believe that's me. By the way, does anyone know if you can run out of room on your blog??



And one more...

Swimming Pool

So we've had many requests for pictures of our pool. We just kept forgetting to take the camera outside with us. Finally we remembered, here it is. Now wasn't that worth the wait.


Troy is attempting to do a standing cannonball!!


The splash was bigger, I was just slow on the camera.

More Recent Random

So I realized that my last 2 random posts might have been a little confusing. The pictures were outdated, which would explain why I am not pregnant in any of them. We just didn't have any recent pictures, so I thought I would post old ones. Anyway, now we have some recent ones, so here ya go:




We finally got our dog Kayla back. This is how she likes to sleep. She seems to be enjoying the 100+ Arizona weather, but she is shedding like crazy. Her favorite hobby is to chase lizards in our backyard. A few weeks ago, we took her out for a walk and she got cactus needles stuck in her paw and mouth. Troy had to pull them out and Kayla even had tears in her eyes. It was so sad, but she is doing much better. Troy will make a good dad!!


Next we have Troy and one of the many lizards that lives on our property. Troy finds as much satisfaction in chasing lizards as Kayla does.
