GIRLS NIGHT!!!

So I'm a little late in writing about this (what's new?) Girls Night, but I wanted to wait until Sarah posted about it so I could get some of the pictures she took on her phone. Well, just over a week ago, Darren was having a Guys Night with a bunch of guys in the ward. They played games and went to see the new James Bond movie! I took this lovely opportunity to hang out with the girls! Sarah has been trying to get me and Bailey together to do pedicures forEVER and finally we were able to do it! Although our condo is amazingly fun... right... :) we decided to do the girls night at my parents house! We started off with some pistachio chicken salad (probably one of my favorite meals!) and then got on to pedicures. Sarah had a special kit that she was kind enough to share with us! After soaking our feet we put on an exfoliating masque which made our feet feel really cold! Naturally I had left the camera downstairs and I couldn't let this photo opp. pass me by so I went on an adventure! Since I had the masque on my feet I couldn't walk on the carpet... so I crawled. Not the easiest thing to do when you're pregnant and your feet can't touch the floor! But the girls got a good laugh out of it! This was the view I had when I returned:

Bailey's look explains it all!

Sarah kept trying to eat her feet... :)

Feet shot!

Ok so it's not the cutest picture, but you can see my belly nicely!

Washing the masque off

So after our feet were all exfoliated, we put on some amazing lotion stuff. Sarah, being the sweetheart she is, massaged my feet with it. I don't think my feet have ever felt so soft! After the amazing massage, we topped it off by painting our toe nails (I discovered that this too is no longer as easy as it used to be!). Once the pedicures were done, we headed downstairs. After gathering as much junk food as possible, we headed down to watch a movie in the theater! What a blast! Thanks Bailey and Sarah for the Girls Night! I had so much fun!

Oh yeah, see http://sarbear0616.blogspot.com/ for more pictures.

26 Weeks

Recognize this shirt? Fits a little differently from the last time you saw me in it huh??

Ok, I'm late AGAIN! But this time I have an excuse... our internet has been down since last Thursday morning. SO... this is a picture of me at 26 weeks (6.5 months), but now I am 27 weeks. My body couldn't have changed that much in just one week right?? :) Actually, that's probably wrong. However, I just looked at last months picture that I posted and I kind of look like I haven't grown that much. Well, IN PERSON you would notice the difference! Bailey (my younger sister) seems to think I get bigger every SINGLE day... and I agree with her! School is starting to get a little weird though... being that I'm not at any BYU school, I'm the ONLY pregnant person on campus. I'm finally to the point where I can't hide it under my fleece anymore. More and more people are realizing that I'm pregnant. I try to make sure I always have my wedding ring on so they don't think I'm just another teen pregnancy! :)

Things are going smoothly and I'm mostly feeling great. However, it's getting much harder to sleep and my back aches more and more every day! Luckily I have the best husband in the world! He gives me back massages whenever I ask and doesn't complain one bit! How did I get so lucky?!

Halloween Part II

It's Darren again! Since I finally got Brandi to start blogging, she took over as I expected so it has been a while since I have posted. This post is about the Halloween party we had down south with my brother and sister-in-law Cory and Lindsay and my parents. No fire alarms were set off this time! So you will notice that there are no pictures of Brandi in here. She was a really hot pirate but apparently she doesn't think that the pictures we got emphasized that so I was threatened that she would erase any post with pictures of her on it from that night...unfortunate. As you can tell all the costumes were thrown together very last minute but it was still fun. I wasn't sure when else I would use my Google stuff so I thought it would make a good Halloween costume; I made a pretty good (very accurate) software engineer. My dad was a Polynesian which brings him back to the days he spend living in Samoa as a young child. And Cory's outfit earned him an extra picture. His wife just had a baby so he was a pregnant lady this year. Wow. The last picture is of the cake that Lindsay made...yes, cake. As good as it was, it was kind of hard to stomach due to the incredible resemblance. Good work Lindsay!
