30 weeks

10 weeks left to go. My bedroom is painted and Michael and I both got new matching dressers (cute, huh?). Now that I have my room updated and a little more organized I'm moving onto Maya's/baby's room. Today we bought a loft bed for Maya. The bedroom is the size of a shoe box so we are getting rid of her full size bed and went with an option that lets us go vertical, the crib will go under the loft bed. Now I just have to decide on fabric/paint for the girls room.

Nesting

So I'm majorly nesting right now, I only have about 2 months until the baby comes. I want to rip my house apart and put it back together, clean, organized with new paint, new decorations, new flooring etc. Since that isn't going to happen, to appease myself I bought some paint to paint my bedroom. Now, it has only been about 2 years since I painted it last, but I needed a change in there. So Michael takes a look at the paint and then looks at me as if I'm crazy and says, "you seriously think you have time for this? You have the temple celebration, you homeschool, you have a photography business, two blogs, you are doing about 5 appraisals a week, and you think that you have time to paint our bedroom?" My answer, "I'm nesting, can't you just let me nest before the baby comes?" His answer, "I guess I can let you, but I don't have to be happy about it."

Thanks baby for letting me nest, even if you aren't happy about it. Love you!

Candy Factory

My mom and two aunts were in town last weekend. While they were here we were able to go to Women's Conference down at BYU. My friend Nicol was kind enough to offer to watch my kids one of the days. What a fun mom she is, she organized a trip to the candy factory. Not only did she tote along her 3 kids, but my 3 kids as well. A few other friends and moms went along as well. My kids had a blast. Thanks Nicol!

Temple Celebration

Michael and I have been asked to be Stake Event Coordinators for a huge Cultural Event celebrating the opening of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It has been an enormous job for the last 2 months and we are down to our last month, which is going to be crazier than ever. The performance is May 30th! It involves 21 stakes (not beef stakes, but a way that our church organizes it's members) We are in charge of our stake in which about 300 youth are involved, some of them are singing and some are dancing. Luckily we have very talented dance directors, a wonderful choir director, and an amazing wardrobe director. Unfortunately a lot of things have been put on hold for the moment being, this blog included.

To find out more information on the Temple Celebration click here. I believe this celebration will be broadcasted to stake centers around the nation.

Aprils Homeschool Field trip

Our April field trip was a tour of the capitol building. I wasn't really that excited about this one, especially since our last field trip was so much fun. But, if you haven't ever taken a tour, I would recommend that you take one. It was very interesting for me as well as the kids.

The House of Representatives:
Did you know that for the state of Utah, they are only in session for 45 days? The representatives all have other jobs. Hmmm.... maybe I will run for office one day.

The Senate:
The desks are original to the capitol and were not replaced in the remodel.

The architecture and paintings were just beautiful! They better be, after 4 years and millions of dollars of renovation!

Michael's Birthday Cake

Michael's birthday was last month and I decided to try this recipe, mmm.... they are so good. Rich enough that you can only eat one.
