Rian's Striped Room

I have been planning on painting stripes in Rian's room for a long time now. Although I knew how much work it was going to be. I finally gave in one day and started taping. I taped and measured for hours. Only got 3/4 around the room. So the next day I had the day off as well, so as I continued on with the taping, John started painting the opposite wall. With a few hour breaks we finally finished. I love how it turned out. Rian really loves it too. Everyday she shows me the stripes on her wall.

We're Having a Baby!

Yes, it's true. Here comes number two! We are so excited!! I am due on March 17th, 2010. (St. Patrick's Day.) I have been dying to post this on here, but decided to wait until we had told our parents. I didn't want them finding out through my blog. So far everything is going well. I haven't been too sick, mostly I'm tired. I do have an ultrasound picture, but I'll have to scan it onto my computer first. So check back and I'll be sure to keep you updated. We probably won't know the sex of the baby until late October, early November. So if you have any premonitions about that, let me know. lol Rian seems to be excited. (as much as an almost 2 yr old can be.) She always pats my belly and says "baby!" Yes, I am already showing a ton. Kind of hard to keep it a secret when it's obvious!

So, I set out and found new maternity pants for work. Lucky for me old navy had a sale. Then (and this is awesome)...I went to walmart to find some white collared shirts for work. I picked out one style from the maternity section that I liked and bought two. Now at $12 I didn't really want to pay that much, but I was desperate for new shirts. After I checked out with my things and was walking to my car, I thought...I couldn't have been charged right...I got way more stuff than what I paid for. So when I checked out my receipt. My maternity shirts were "on sale" and rang up for $1.00 a piece. (i promise it even said, "you saved $11.00") and here I thought walmart doesn't have sales, just everyday low prices.

Anyway, enough ramblings of an already crazy pregnant person. Check back soon for pictures!

Happy 24th of July!!


Rian loved the sparklers. It was a little dangerous (for me) at times. She almost got me in the face with one. I was glad to see that she was not scared of them.




These next pictures are of some fireworks we did at our house. It was a lot of fun having family and friends come over for dessert and fireworks.









Snapshots from July


Who can resist a smile like that?


Rian is always doing funny stuff like this.


This picture I took at the Weber State Fireworks. Rian wanted to watch, but was scared, so she hid in my shoulder and peeked out to see all of the Fireworks.



Mom and Rian at the Fireworks.



I mostly liked Rian's hair in these two pictures. She looks so much like a toddler these days. I can't believe she will be two in a month!
