Happy Birthday Traci, Scotty and James!!!!

We have a lot of Birthdays in September. My sissy boo Traci's birthday is today, my big bro Scotty's is the 21st and Traci's hubby James' birthday is on the 22nd! WOW!

Here is a picture of Traci and her hubby James. Traci is a great big sister, I love that I get to talk to her almost every day. She gives me great advice about life, pregnancy, motherhood and everything imaginable. The thing I love most about Traci is she loves everyone, she does not judge and she will do anything for anyone. She is selfless and a great mother and wife! Happy Birthday Traci!!!

James is a great brother-in-law. He is one of the smartest people I know - he constantly helps everyone in the family with their math homework. I don't know what we did without James in the family! He also loves Wes and Claire unconditionally and is a great Father. Happy Birthday James!

Here is a picture of my Brother and I. Scotty Two Hotty! Need I say more? Scott is a great guy - I like to tease him that he stole all of the musical talent in the family. He is the most amazing drummer in the world. He also has a talent for making friends with everyone. He has more friends than anyone I know and I admire him for that. Scott is always up for a good time. I hope he has a fabulous birthday!

Growing Belly!

Wow! Only 4 weeks left in this pregnancy. I sure hope it goes by fast - I can't wait to meet Mr. Hendrix. Things have been moving along just fine, I feel so fortunate to have had an uncomplicated and healthy pregnancy. Sleeping at night has been a struggle. When I wake up to go pee (because his head is directly on my bladder) I then can't fall back asleep. I guess I am getting prepared for all of the long nights when he is born. I go to the doctor this coming Tuesday, then start my weekly appointments until he arrives! 'One has predicted that he will arrive on October 8th. I think that is a little too early and predict the 12th or 13th of October.

We should start a contest - post a comment on how much you think he will weigh and when he will arrive and the winner can come over and change all the poopy diapers! Ha ha I will reward the winner with something much better than that!

Go Bulldogs!

Mele, Tapa and Me


Al and Tapa (don't they look alike?)


Me and 'One (he can never be serious)

Over the weekend - we took a road trip! Yes, 7.5 months prego, we hit the road to Fresno, CA. Me, One, One's parents and his sister Mele headed West. The occasion? To watch One's little brother Tapa play football for Fresno State Bulldogs against UC Davis.

The drive was challenging, but we survived. We left Friday night and spent the night in Viva Las Vegas. We didn't get there until midnight so we missed all of the buffets - Dang It! One lost 20 bucks in Vegas, and I did not gamble. We got some rest and headed for Fresno on Saturday morning.

We arrived in Fresno around 4 PM, checked into our hotel and got ready for the game. The game was so so fun. We were on the 9th row, around the 30 yard line. Poor Tapa didn't get to play becasue he had Tonsilitis the week prior and missed a couple of practices. BUMMER! Oh well, Fresno kicked butt and the game was still a blast. You can see Tapa in the distance in the picture... #46. He will normally be in the rotation for Tight End and Full Back, plus play special teams.

Me and Mele

We decided to head home Sunday afternoon - in order to beat Labor Day traffic. The drive home didn't seem as bad. We drove mostly at night, so there was no traffic. We stopped in Mesquite to rest and eat. I lost 20 bucks gambling, so One and I are even. We finally made it home to Utah early Monday morning. We slept pretty much the whole entire day!
