24 Weeks

I am now 24 weeks prego. She is a squirmer and of course likes to wiggle when I'm going to sleep. Nate was making me laugh in the picture . We all had the flu last week and that seemed to shake the last little bit of nasuea out of me! I finally actually FEEL like doing things! (other than work of course) My friend Holly came over on Wednesday and we made bows... I kept going for like 3 more hours after she left and this is my haul.

I've also made a few baby quilts (a couple were almost done anyways) and a lap size quilt. It is starting to dawn on me that I'd better enjoy my independence as much as possible as Livi is quite capable of tending to herself so I can do all this stuff! I'm crossing my fingers for another good baby like her :)

Great Educational Website

There is a great educational website that Olivia LOVES to play. I thought I would pass it along. It is starfall.com. It has a ton of books they can read along with games and videos. She would play it all day if I let her! The sections start with the alphabet up to more complex stories. Good times for any child 3+!

Girls, Girls, Girls!

It's official.... After much begging and pleading Nate set me up with the ultra sound tech at the hospital last Wednesday. I drank some mountain dew to get the baby moving and it seemed to work. So we are having another girl! Olivia wants to name her Sally Lou-Who... I guess it's better than Cinderella (that's what she wanted to name my friend's baby). Sorry about the lack of pictures... The tech could not get any good profile shots but I don't care cause at least I know it's a girl! I was going to put a pic of my big belly on but I'm in my pjs and I'm too lazy to do it. To you all who voted boy on the poll---sorry, you were wrong!

Smith Family Reunion 2008

We just had our Smith Family Reunion with all of my family in Albion, ID. Some people from my parents ward bought an old college that has been empty for like 40-50 years and they are remodeling it to make it into a family reunion spot. They have one building done and it was great! We stayed in what used to be the men's dorm. There are something like 16 bedrooms. They totally gutted the whole building and only kept the hardwood floors so it was charming and old yet nice and clean and modern. Check it out more at albionreunions.com. Our Grammie (great Grammie to Olivia) rented a big blow up water slide for us to play on. It was a little to big and fast for Olivia so she figured out she could slide down the side with the steps. She kept at it even when the big boys were wildly sliding down the main side. We all had a blast!
