Just some random things...

Abby fell asleep, and Bailey scooted in next to her, it was so cute :)

The cuties just playin'

Bailey holding a purse that is WAY too heavy for her, but she insisted!

Well, we are busy with the girls and Gavin is busy preparing to apply for Law Schools. He will be applying in December and January for about three different schools, so we are hoping to start next summer or fall.

I went in on Monday for my 35 week appointment, and I am about 50% effaced and almost to a 1. I am going in on this coming Monday again, so I hope things are progressing still. The doctor said I will probably go early again, so I'm hoping to go within two weeks or so! I am just feeling huge and awkward and I can't breathe and I keep bumping into things and I can't climb stairs and my husband keeps calling me Budah. I could go on and on :) Pregnancy is just not fun!

Here are some more pictures of our crazy girls, these two are TROUBLE together!

Another update

THe girlies being cute, look at Abby, she is carrying my older planner, I think she thinks she is an adult sometimes :)

I love these smiles!

The two cuties cuddling and watching a movie, I love it when they get along :)

Wow, things are busy right now. We are finally getting settled into our new place, but are still adjusting to it with the girls. We are loving all the open space and also love how it feels much cleaner :)

I am now 34 weeks and am having A LOT of contractions, man! If the last month is going to be like this everyday, I'm going to die! I feel like I have a beachball in my stomach and have accidently bumped the girls a few times with the belly :) Abby is excited for the baby, but I think Bailey has no clue and doesn't want to think about it. Abby is talking like an adult lately, and says things like "It is kind of delicious", and says "I'm three" to everyone she meets. Bailey is so cute and loves to copy everything big sister does, I love to just watch what she does during the day, and she is talking a lot now too! She says "I did it" all day long and says "thank you" and "I love you" a lot, it is cute :)

Gavin is busy with his last semester at BYU and we are looking forward to post BYU life, but will miss it here when it is over. He gets to work from 6:00-9:00 a.m. now, not 4:30-8:00, so that has made a big differene for him!

Quick Update

Wow, there is a lot going on in our little family right now! We just moved into a condo this past weekend (still in Provo :) so we can expand a bit for the new baby. We are loving it, but Gavin has started his final semester at BYU and is gone all the time now, so I have been trying to get things together around here. I am about a month to a month and a half away from having baby girl #3 and I feel like I can't get any bigger! I hope she comes early like Abby and Bailey did :) Anyway, we are loving our new place, it is much more spacious than our last place, but I do miss our old little house. Gavin is going to be applying within the next few weeks for Law School and that will determine where we end up within the next year.

We have finally decided on a name for the baby:
Hallie Clara Collier

The girls are busy as ever, which wears me out. I I love them so much and can't wait to have three girlies! We are blessed to have a bigger place to live for a little while.

I will post pictures soon of our new place, I don't know where the camera is!!

Gavin turns 27!!!!

Happy Birthday to Gavin! He turned 27 this Wednesday. He always has finals during his birthday week, and this year he had to take two finals, poor guy! He is very happy to be finished with this semester and will be starting his final semester at BYU this Fall!

We had a fun day after his tests were over :) His brother, Brian, was visiting this week and we all went to our favorite restaurant, Tucanos, for dinner that night. It is SOOOOO good, and we got Gavin's meal for FREE, even better!

We love you Gavin, thanks for being a great husband and father!


Here is a belly shot, courtesy of Brian, thanks bro :) Yes, it is getting massive! I have about 10 weeks to go, and it can't come faster!

Magazine Feature!

I'm so excited.....I just found out today that two of my products are going to be featured in the October 2010 issue of Do It Yourself Magazine!!!! They are doing an article about using felt in decorating, and they had me send over a pillow and a rosette flower arrangement for photographing a few weeks ago. I'm just excited :)

Fun Parenting Moments......

So Abby decided to swallow a nickle today, why she did it, we have no idea. She was acting like she was in pain after ingesting it, so we called Crappa (Grampa , AKA her Pediatrician), and decided to have an x-ray done to make sure it wasn't stuck somewhere. Sure enough, the x-ray shows the coin clear as day in her stomach. Luckily, it has passed through her little body smoothly and should arrive later :) Sometimes I just wonder what goes through her head when she decides to do these things. Ahhhhh, the stress of parenting :)

Hmmm, somebody is almost 2

Bailey is well known for her LOUD screams, the little stinker! She is starting to throw some pretty good tantrums lately, and I happened to get a picture of one. hehe


The girls also LOVE to wrestle their Daddy every night, and I love it because it wears them out just in time for bed :)

WARNING : LOTS OF PICTURES AHEAD!!!!

On Sunday, the 4th, we had a nice dinner at my Parent's and also took lots of family pictures. We took some in front of the Draper Temple, which is so beautiful! Then we headed back to my Parents to take more in their yard, which is also so pretty! The kids were going crazy by the end, but we were lucky to get some nice pictures with everybody!







My cute Parents, love you!!

4th of July Weekend Part 2

On Saturday, we started off the day with a breakfast with all my family up in Suncrest (by my parents house). It was really cold, but the food was great! We headed to Seven Peaks after that and spent most the day there. It was cute to see all the grand kids together, they had so much fun! Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us all there!


Me and my Sister, Mary, at the breakfast

The girls were freezing cold, but they loved the food :)


The whole group at Seven Peaks! Wow, our family is growing!!!!!!!

We watched fireworks that night in Riverton. Gavin and I love to go there for the fireworks and the carnival every summer. We both lived here in high school/middle school, so it is fun to come back to celebrate the 4th! We sat in front of my Dad's Pediatric office, which I think is the best seat to watch the fireworks. Poor Gavin broke his toe while we were walking around though. For some reason, there was a brick sitting in the middle of the sidewalk, and he stubbed his toe so hard and broke it. Poor guy!









Saturday was so fun, and we all came home completely exhausted, but it was a good exhaustion.
