Mommy your tummy's growing...

Yesterday we were able to watch the BYU game and we were super excited about it. Then they started to show Y mountain and the stadium and Brandon and I became very home sick. We do really like Michigan it just still doesn't feel like home. We were very excited that our team was able to win and looked good for the most part of it anyways. (Sigh)

I've been asked to post a picture of the "belly" so I decided to have my boys stand in with me. They thought it was fun, Porter kept saying, "boys can't have babies only girls can." With that being said I'm a little worried he's going to assume all girls are pregnant, hopefully not.
(Me in all of my preggo glory :)

Porter has also taken to the great outdoors, peeing in them that is. He will run outside the back door to pee on the bushes. At the park he just decides to pull down his pants wherever he is and go. Many of you might be thinking this sounds familiar, yes we went through this with Logan he's over it now so maybe Porter will be soon. I just don't get what's so great about it, it has to be a guy thing.

So I have a rant I just need to get it off of my chest. I know I've posted about what great garage sales there have been around here. Well I was proven to be wrong yesterday. I went to a garage sale that I had found on craigslist saying they had all girl stuff and were selling clothing for a dollar. So I drove out there, it was about 15 minutes away pulled up and sure enough tons and tons of girl stuff, I thought "yay, I can get a bunch of things for a dollar." Nothing was marked and there were no signs so I asked the lady in charge how much things were before I started making a pile. Her reply, "Well it depends these are all designer brands that I spent about $80.00 for so I probably would want like $40.00, then something like this (a baby hat you'd get in the hospital) would be a dollar." I was a little shocked thinking first off who in their right mind would spend $80.00 on a 3-6 month outfit. Do you not know what babies do? The clothes weren't anything spectacular, to an untrained eye they looked like something you'd find at baby gap or old navy. I was very frustrated. I wanted to tell her about the dynamics of having a garage sale is to get rid of stuff so you don't have to take it to the dump. If you make a dollar off of something you have no use for it's better than having to load it up in the car and dropping it off somewhere. Anyways, I left empty handed and frustrated with this woman. I then went to another garage sale and found a little dress for $2.oo and made a little girl cry for taking it. What a day.


Random, Brandon blowing out his 27 candles.

You look adorable. I am jealous. I looked like a fat cow- swollen and round. Happy birthday to Brandon. Still older than me.

You do look cute, and so do the boys. Your rant is justified, that is not a true yardsale. On the random last post you did not make 27 candles very easy to blow out. Good job.

What the heck $40 for an outfit. I also would have been very angry after a yard sale experience like that. Some people just really think their junk is worth a lot. Anyway you look really cute. It is cute for a little boy to pee outside wherever he is, but he will grow out of it before it become disturbing. Have to love little boys!

You look adorable! And $40 for a used outfit? I wouldn't even pay that much to begin with. There are tons of great garage sales here in Provo - the only problem is EVERYONE is on the lookout for great stuff so if you don't get there first everything good has already been taken.

First of all.... you look adorable!!! Second... Peeing in the bushes has NEVER and will NEVER end with the boys of my family. Third.... my favorite part of your whole blog entry is that you made a little girl cry for buying her dress for $2.00!! HA!!
