Today I am 37 weeks pregnant (wahoo...almost done) and I got to go to the doctor today. He checked me and I am dialted to 1 cm and am 80% effaced- that was GREAT news!!!! Then, he told me that he would schedule me to be induced on July 8th!!!!!! YIPPPPPY! I am so excited because if she doesn't come before then atleast I have a date to look forward too! I am SO ready to be done and to meet her :-)! I will keep everyone informed if she comes before the 8th- so keep checking back!
This week we also have lots of family in town, which is always fun! All of Jeff's siblings are all making the trek to San Antonio. It will be a fun weekend having everyone together. We will be spending lots of time in the water (swimming and the lake), but I mostly look forward to getting to know them all a little better (especially Jeff's oldest brother, Donny, and his family- because I haven't had ANY time to get to know them since we've been married). I love family reunions!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoy their summers!

Big Belly
Look at this belly! It is getting SOOOOO big! I can't believe it is almost over. These aren't the best pictures, but you can tell that I am getting way bigger-- my belly button is even starting to stick out! I look even bigger than normal in these pictures because I was ultra stuffed from Cheesecake Factory (yum... Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake). Only 4 more weeks!
Father's Day Fun
For Jeff's "first" Father's day I thought I would get him something that he could DO before the baby comes. So, I got him a bucket of balls to hit at the driving range and a round of golf (which he would never do by himself). I was so proud of myself for thinking of this idea without any help! So, tonight we did part #1 of the Father's Day gift. We went to the driving range tonight and hit some golf balls. It was so much fun! I even got to hit like 20 balls- and of course I did horrible. I decided that going to the driving range is one of the cheapest dates and it was SO much fun! I got some great pictures of Jeff working his golf magic :-)! Happy Father's Day, honey! You are going to be the greatest Dad!!!! I love you!
Isn't this picture so GREAT? What a handsome husband!!!
Isn't the sky gorgeous!
Enjoying our night!

Long Time
It has been such a long time since I have done a new post! I haven't even been busy, just lazy (and most woman who have been pregnant will back me up on that one because the last part of being pregnant is EXHAUSTING). Jeff and I do errands and projects around the house all day and then at night time I sit down to possibly start typing a cute new post and I can't even think, let alone make my fingers type!!!! But, I thought I would finally do a post updating everyone.
Pregnancy update---
I am now 35 weeks pregnant- WOOOHOOOO!!! Only 1 week to go and they wouldn't stop labor if it started (which I am really hoping it will start early!). My Mom and Grandma both had early babies (around 37 weeks), so I am hoping that I will follow in their footsteps. The baby moves like crazy. She doesn't turn a lot, but she kicks my side non-stop. I am so excited to meet her and to name her!!!
Just Us update---
It has been absolutely wonderful having Jeff around more often. He finally got all of his grades back and he did great this last semester! We are done with one whole year of law school, that means we are 1/3 of the way done! I couldn't be more proud of him. He has worked so hard and it is amazing that he was able to start law school only a year and 1/2 after his mission! We have be able to do some great projects around the house since he has been done with school. Jeff fixed the backyard that the dog has destroyed, we finished decorating most of the house, and he even helped convince me to start "learning" how to play the piano through Jon Schmidt's teaching book. I have known a little about music and note reading from playing instruments as a kid, but through this learning method (which is amazing) I can site read the simplified hymns- REALLY slowly of course, but I can play them none the less! In young womens there is not a leader or a girl who can play the piano for us to sing opening hymns on Sundays. I decided it would be my goal to learn to play atleast a couple of hymns for us to sing on Sundays! I am slowly progressing and it has been REALLY fun for me to learn a new skill!
We have also been helping people move! When I say we I mostly mean Jeff, since I can't do much! Jana and Chad (Jeff's sister and bro-in-law) moved into their beautiful home at the end of May. They had a week of being "homeless" between closing on their old house and then closing on their new house, so we had the great privilege of having them stay with us for a while. It was a lot of fun to hang out with them so much. Then Jeff got to help with all of the moving that never seemed to go smoothly. I wasn't able to do much, but I was really good at running little errands, picking up food, and taking the kids to the swimming pool! Then after that move our really good friend Cody Phillip's moved to San Antonio. He is doing an internship here for the summer. It has been fun having a friend around and he is great company for Jeff!!!
I love summer time!!! Swimming, great new movies (if you haven't seen Ironman you should totally see it!!!), and WATERMELON!!!
Anyway, that is about all for us! We hope everyone is having a terrific summer and we will keep you posted on the baby! Hopefully there will be a fun post with pictures soon :-)
