I'm 35 weeks pregnant, the countdown is getting smaller and smaller. Life with one child-sweet Isabelle Grace is going so well right now. I couldn't be more grateful for such a great child. Isabelle and I have conversations all day long, she helps me with chores since "Olivia Claire is getting bigger in Mommy's tummy" as she says. Bending over is essentially non-existent, you can expect me to grimace every time I drop something. Sleeping is ok right now, baby likes to kick around for about 30 minutes when I first lie down but I sleep soundly through the night. Isabelle has adjusted well to her new twin bed and will still even take naps in it (YAY!). Having her potty-trained has made life so nice. She's super idependent about remembering to go on her own without reminders from me and she's always excited to share the news of what she left in the potty. :) She can't wait for preschool and asks about it daily. She'll start about the same time I have our baby in September.
I've done some nesting in preparation for our baby. Her room is ready to go, I've bought a handful of newborn diapers, of course not nearly enough. I've washed and folded all of my newborn clothes from Isabelle and and can't wait to have something so little to hold again. I often find myself rocking in the glider chair thinking about the weeks ahead with the many hours that will be spent in that chair with our new little bundle.
Aaron loves his job as an RN at Primary Children's. He successfully passed the NCLEX exam a couple weeks ago and is a huge load of relief for him and I. He has enjoyed not having any studies looming over his head and the ability to have true days off without those studies on the "to-do" list. I am grateful that he has a stable job right now that he enjoys and it is bringing joy to the families he helps in their critical care time of need.
I know this is more of a journal entry, but it is needed for me to remember these precious few weeks when life is harmonious and with balance. As my sister recently mentioned in her facebook status, life is surprisingly stable, dare I say it? Knock on wood!
Let the countdown continue...tick tock tick tock!
My older sister Emily (there's 3 siblings between us!) and her gorgeous family came for a visit this week to celebrate the marriage of my youngest sister. Can you tell we're related?
Isabelle got to know her North Carolinian-cousin Tristan. They are a year apart and he's a whole head taller than her, and I thought she was tall! They enjoyed running through the sprinklers together and running away from us.
Our farewell to the Schofield family before their cross-country journey back to Chapel Hill, NC. We are already planning a trip next summer to visit them, we loved spending time with them! 
My 6 siblings and I, all dressed up for Melissa's wedding dinner on the eve of her marriage. We aren't quite in age order, but can you figure out the age order? We all have complex's about looking younger than our age, There's 7 of us, the age order from L to R is: 3rd, 1st, 5th, 4th, 7th, 6th, 2nd. Now here's another question, can you name them all? 
Our new addition to our driveway. Our 2006 Honda Pilot EX-L. Soon to be Norton-ized with Utah Ute paraphernalia make no mistake. My favorite parts are the sunroof and the leather-nice!
Saying good-bye to our dear friend, our 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. We've had it since 2004 and put about 35,000 miles on it-oh no, I'm starting to sound like my Dad. Anyway, we put an ad on KSL.com at 3am for it, and it sold to the buyer that called at 8am. Yay for free classifieds!
A brief shot of my friend Kailee and I, both pregnant with our toddlers. Kailee delivered a few days after this a beautiful baby boy, unfortunately, I still have a few weeks left!
A side shot of our bellies-and Harper at the bottom stealing the show!
