29 weeks belly

Me and Megan at 29 and 30 weeks. I think Megan wears it better!

Everyone keeps telling me how small I look so I had to take a "my perspective" shot because to me I look rather big--and in this shirt, I really look like a watermellon is in there!

Who needs the zoo?

We went to Cabela's today and saw the fish and all the stuffed animals... Olivia loved every minute of it! Even the "ugly" fish. Who needs the zoo when you have a Cabelas?

Quiet Sunday Afternoon Activities with Grandpa

Yes, we are teaching our kids reverence on Sunday afternoon. For some reason these three kids can sound like 30 kids when they get together! (They were even starting to wind down a little) As a disclaimer, Grandpa started it! And yes, Olivia is wearing bright orange haloween socks with her pink outfit but her Great Grammie just got home from a long trip to CA and brought lots of gifts for the kids--also the reason Brooklyn has about 5 or 6 different pretties in her hair :)

Rain Rain GO AWAY!!!

It was time for the Womens Fitness Celebration 5k Saturday and I wasn't going to go but then my Grammie did not make it home from California in time so I took her spot. I have to say I could have done without the rain. Of course it rained the whole time (slowed down for a few minutes while I was using the restroom) and then as soon as we were done and in a nice warm restaurant the sun was shining. I thought I did pretty good for being 28 weeks prego--luckily my Mom likes to walk slow :)

Me, Holly, and Tess... really dry and still ok with waling in the pouring down rain.

Atleast I had my umbrella...

Where's the hot chocolate? My umbrella kept the top half of me dry but my pants were pretty soaked. Tess and I were talking about how our feet were a little wet as we stepped in a huge puddle in the grass at the park. That made for super wet feet.

Overall, it was fun but next year better be sunny!

Alien invades the Coburn house...

Oh wait... it was Olivia! She's pretty entertaining to watch dress herself. She is still learning that you can't pull it under your chin first and then the rest of your head. Especially when you have pretties in your hair :)

Yummy for my tummy!!!

Mmmmm.... Nothing like freshly baked chocolate cookies. This is the BEST recipe by far in my opinion. It was given to me at my bridal shower from Nate's friend Rock's mom--THANK YOU--best gift ever!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 ½ cups sugar
1 ½ cups brown sugar (packed)
1 cup butter
1 cup butter flavored Crisco shortening
4 eggs
¼ cup water
2 tsp vanilla
6 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
1 12oz. package milk chocolate chips

Cream sugars + shortening + butter. Blend in eggs until fluffy. (stop as soon as it looks fluffy!—trust me) Add water and vanilla then dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips and nuts (if desired—I haven’t ever desired them though). Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Let set on tray for a few minutes before moving to cooling rack.

This makes a TON of cookies (probably like 4-5 dozen if you do small ones…) I think I have already eaten about a dozen and I just cooked the last batch like 30 minutes ago… Delicious!

BSU Cheerleader in the Making...

Isn't she just the cutest! I just couldn't pass up the outfit--she had to have it! (she's not spoiled one bit) Her cousin Brooklyn has a matching outfit and it was so fun to watch them play. Even BYU fan Macey got into the Bronco spirit in her orange dress! Go Broncos!
