A few fun pics!

Any of you that went to my baby shower and helped out with this cute quilt...here's the final product! It turned out sooooo cute!


My dad painted this ugly yellow wall in the dining room. It looks so much better...thanks dad!


These pics are of Preston's room that we finished yesterday. It looks really cute!

Our day of exploring

It was hard to tell if Preston liked this waterpark. He never cracked a single smile. Brad and I were ready to run through though!




Also during our day of exploring we discovered this house for sale! In the description it said that it was 40,000 square feet! There was this huge gate with a guard's watchtower. It was seriously, I think, the biggest house I have ever seen!!

Almost unpacked

So, we have most of the downstairs unpacked. We've been hanging pictures. We're working on the upstairs now as well. It now feels like home. I'm not sure how Preston is handling it all. He seems to have hit the terrible two's early or something. He just wants to be held all the time and whines all day long. Maybe a tooth? Maybe the adjustment? We just don't know but it's not like him. He's always happier when we take him outside. He's always pointing at the door. We took him out exploring today. We found a really cool park just a few minutes away from our place. It has a little water park for kids that seems pretty fun! Preston is a little scared of it right now but I'm sure by next summer he'll be running around in it and having a good time. The water squirts up from the ground and stuff. They had big squirt guns and other sprinkler type things to run through. We'll have to post the pictures we took. Brad and I thought it was really cool!
It's really weird to not have any commitments like work or church callings. We just hang out at the house. I've been getting a little stir crazy, actually. Brad went to get some ice cream and we're going to play a game. We have no TV yet, which is really weird for us avid TV watchers!!! We've been watching movies though.
Brad talked to a guy from school that just finished his first year and i think that helped a lot. He is an LDS guy with 2 kids and one on the way and he said they got by just fine on the money alloted which made us feel better. He's also going to sell Brad some of his books which will save us money! YEAH! That's about all for now.

We made it!

Well, we are in our new home...so weird but so fun! Our parents drove down with us as well as Brad's brother, David. It was a fairly pleasant trip...Preston is such a good traveler. It was SOOO hot and humid when we got here. We got the truck unloaded and everyone was just dripping in sweat and very stinky.
The only downfall was this morning we woke up and the moving truck (that my parents were driving back to Utah) had been towed. Apparently we weren't allowed to park in a red zone in front of our garage...whoopsie. 385 dollars later we got it back. Yeah, you read that correctly...THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARS! What a rip. We're trying to just forget about it and go on.
Preston is really enjoying having more space to crawl around and explore! He is unstoppable that kid! We'll write more later. Just trying to get settled.

Family fun

We've been up in Salt Lake for Brad's family reunion with his Mom's side of the fam. It's been fun but oh so tiring for me. But, we're glad we can spend that time with family before we head out. I wish I could spend a little more time with my family. My brother, Matt, just moved to Idaho for the summer and Sam and his wife Piper work all day. My parents are going down with us as well as Brad's so that will be good.
Mom Clark had a surprise baby shower for me. I thought it was Tuesday. They kept it a good secret. I got some really cute girly clothes and bows...I love getting bows and dresses!! I can't wait to dress her up in them! She is kicking like crazy these days and it's so fun! Yesterday at church I could see her little foot move slowly across my belly! That's something I never experienced with Preston and I'm really enjoying it! I have to say though, I don't want to have this baby early but I will be really happy to feel like myself again. I just never feel all that great. Although some days are better than others. But I will be anxious to have my energy back. I'm gonna be hoppin' with two babies on my hands! I think it's gonna be a huge adjustment for me but I know it'll be all worth it.
It's so hard to believe we only have a couple more days in our little apartment. We are so going to miss our little neighborhood and network of friends, our ward and mostly being so close to family but we know this is the right thing to do for us right now. I will be glad when we get there and get settled and I can enjoy Brad for a few weeks before school starts. It'll be like a little vacation getting settled. We'll keep ya posted!

baby news

I had a doctor's appointment today. 32 weeks and counting and all is well. The baby weighs about 4 lbs 1 oz and her head is measuring 2 weeks ahead! All that means is that she's got a big head. It doesn't cause any problems, I guess. The doctor is very pleased with my progress. I've been able to keep my blood sugar down on just diet and no insulin, which is so great. She seemed to think I will have a normal delivery etc. We're excited about meeting her!
Still packin' and cleanin'. That's about all we do these days. We're off to stay with Brad's mom tomorrow until Sunday for a family reunion. I've been working on a scrapbook for Brad's grandma's 90th birthday. It's got pics of 3 generations of her family. We're excited to give it to her. It's been quite the job getting pictures from everyone, but we pulled it off. It turned out really cute.

Baby shower!!!!

YAY! I finally got some girly stuff!!! Yesterday my mom threw me a baby shower. We don't really have any family around so it was mostly friends from the ward and my mission. It was so much fun to actually get some girl clothes and blankies and such! I have such great friends! I was so excited to show Brad everything we got. Then I came home and packed it all away in a box! Yeah, we started to pack...blah! I think packing is the worst part of moving but it's always fun to put things away in a new house. I'm excited about that part but the packing part is just boring and tiring on my old bones.
Our Sister in law, Angie, had her baby yesterday. She was overdue and very ready for that little guy to be out. His name is Nathan Michael Clark weighing in at 7 lbs 3 oz. We can't figure out who he looks like. Brad's mom thinks he looks like her side. We'll see when he gets a little older. This is the tenth grandchild for Brad's Mom and Dad. That's big! Our little one will be number eleven!!!
Brad and I are still in disagreement about the name. Both of our Mom's have started calling her Hannah. That's their vote, as well as mine. I'm not sure if he really doesn't like the name or he's just trying to be difficult. :)
