The weekend mostly

So it's been a while since our last blog, and plenty has happened I'm just so enjoying the nursery that i find myself up there all day. Tony and I will just sit in there and enjoy it, it's so nice and put together, being in there gives us the feeling we're in a new house. Tony and our family help did an amazing job!! It looks so good it almost doesn't look like it belongs in this place! Once we finish getting everything up on the wall, we'll take lots of pictures so you can see it for yourself.
So Tony survived his first week of school!! I'll let him tell more about that if he'd like.
We had a mostly enjoyable weekend, Sat we attempted to go to the BYU game, but the weatherman neglected to mention that it was going to be a hundred degrees!! So after hiking up to Tony's parents seats(they gave us their tickets as they were up at the spruces camping)which are WAY up there, great seats!!! But way up there. We made a very comfy seat for me, and smuggled in two bottles of water. By the end of the first quarter I was wading in my own sweat, as I figure it being 9 months pregnant in 100 degree heat, I must of been running over 200 degrees!!!JK but I was so so so so soooooooooo hot!!!! But because I'm such a loveing devoted wife(who LOVES football)and knows how important BYU football is to my husband, I just kept chugging water which i finished both bottles about halfway into the 2nd quarter, and by then you probably could have made hot chocolate with it. About 5 mins before the half we decided it was just too hot, I was starting to feel a bit whoozy, and with great sadness we left the game. We did grab a cold bottle of water on the way out though. The good news is the trafic was so good we got home about halfway into the 3rd quarter, and watched the rest of the game, in our air conditioned house. Tony did get too frustrated to watch end of the 3rd though, started cleaning the house, but came back when they started doing better in the 4th. I felt so bad we had to leave early, but I've never felt so miserable in my life, but at least I tried. Then on Sun we went up to the Spruces to join Tony's family for the day, it was sooo nice and cool!! It felt really good! Until it started down pouring right as our lovely dinner feast was done cooking, the kids fled to the trailer, and they guys put out the awning, and put up a canopy, and we made it work and the food was as always delicious!! Then we bagged the cobbler and everyone crammed into the trailer and we did gifts for Tony's dad, our brother in law Derek, and my birthdays. After Tony's mom scrounged up some cookies and ice cream. The cutest thing was our little 2 year old neice who loved being out in the rain and playing in the puddles!! Tony got a picture on his phone so we'll have to see if we can get that, she was sooo cute in her little rain coat! Mon my parents came down and my dad and Tony got the doors painted and put back up, Tony finished the window, put up the blinds and our cute purple curtains, with butterfly tie backs. my mom helped with the laundry and cleaning everything in her sight ;) jk mostly dusting and organizing things, but it helped alot. Then we all went to wal mart and target and got the last few things needed for Elizabeth(that i didn't order online earlier) like a diaper pail and bath tub, and bottles. And once the changing pad and cover, and baskets i ordered online get here the nursery will be complete!!! Oh and yesterday we went and picked up the rocking chair we got from The Wood Connection and had them stain to match the crib. It turned out perfect!!! It's the most comfortable rocking chair in the world!! I love it!!! It was my mother's day, anniversary, and birthday present.(as it wasn't cheap) Well I think I've caught you up! Only two more days til my birthday!!!:)
