Baby, Wedding, & Friends Oh My!

So we have had a half busy week. The start of it was relatively slow, mostly anticipating the weekend. One cute moment was when Levi discovered some stickers and was putting them all over himself and Justin. The two were really having fun! The second cute Levi moment is that Levi has learned some new songs. My mom and I like the soundtrack to 'Momma Mia', and actually have always been ABBA fans. So since Levi is usually in the car when we listen to this music, he has started singing it too. His favorites are Super Trooper and Momma Mia. He regularly requests these and will sing the chorus to both. It is adorable!

On Thursday morning I went up to Wilsonville with my mom for a dental appointment only to have it cut short and we headed home after being there only 20 minutes. We then decided to do some shopping and went to Wal-Mart and some other places. In the afternoon I had another ultrasound for Hazel. This one was great! We got some more 3-D shots and I think she looks just like Levi did, only with a bigger forehead (from her mom). We also got to hear her breathe and see her opened eyes moving which was really cool! That evening I went to a girls night. It was just four of us, but it is still nice to get together and chat. It is interesting to see where everyone is at in their lives now. Three out of the four were divorced, two of us had re-married (only I had married the same man! Yea for me!). The fourth was still happily married after almost five years. Three of us had one or more kids and were stay-at-home moms. It is just interesting to look at our paths a few years ago and now.

Friday was BUSY! I went to garage sales in the morning with my mom, and packed for the weekend while Levi napped. Then when he woke up and Justin was home, we headed to a park to meet some friends that were visiting from out of town. We only see them once a year, so it is always a priority when they visit. However we did have to cut the fun short because we had to carpool with my parents up to Portland for my cousins wedding events. So off we went to check in at our hotel and then head to a rehearsal dinner at my Uncle's home. That night I don't think anyone in that hotel room slept well... except my dad who seemed to sleep through any and everything.

Saturday morning we were up and off to the temple for my cousin's sealing. Afterward we sat through over an hour and a half of pictures (longest photo session I've ever had, including my own). We then went to Olive Garden for lunch, a great reward post-photos. I really wish we had an Olive Garden closer (although then we would really be broke). Then came relaxing somewhat for Justin and I as he sat and watched football while Levi and I slept. Following that was the ring ceremony, reception, and then we headed home. It was a long day, I'm sure for everyone. Except a couple break-downs around nap time for Levi, he was a *SUPER TROOPER* through it all. We even had our hotel right by an expensive car dealer so I got a picture with an Orange Lamborghini and my mom next to a black Lotus. We also stopped at a dahlia farm and took some photos. We got some great family pictures, and I even got a belly shot for those wanting it. Keep in mind I am only 6 months pregnant, and I do tend to do most of my growing in the last month and a half.

Sunday should have been more relaxing but my stomach didn't agree and I ending up losing my lunch a couple times. You would think I would be past all this by now! But we were still able to have a good day and share it with family. I did learn that the complex Justin and I were looking at is going to have an opening at the end of October, so in a week or so I can put in my application (I have to wait for the tenant to actually put in there 30-day notice), and hopefully Justin and I will be accepted and able to move!

We are doing well, and we hope you all are too!
