Girl's Trip
I wanted to post some pictures of the trip Sadie and I took to visit my brother Glenden's family and my brother-in-law Chris' family in Utah, and go to my cousin Anna's Open house (she just got married recently) and see my parents and siblings in Idaho. Of course I forgot my camera, but here are some pictures Patty took and sent to me. :) (Oh and Chris, If you are reading this, feel free to send me the ones you took of Sadie with her cousins please! :) )
Sadie's cousins Aubrey and Naomi - 1 Month old. Sadie thought they were the cutest and silliest little girls! She loved watching and holding them! I did too. :)
We went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and saw the new movie about the life of Joseph Smith. It was really good. Terrible for an emotional pregnant lady like myself though. Sadie only disrupted the movie one time when Alvin died and they were holding his funeral, she started laughing because someone said the name Alvin in the movie and she must have been thinking of Alvin and the chipmunks movie we recently rented because she thought that was sooo funny and told me, Alvin isn't in this movie!
A windy day at Temple Square in Salt Lake
Since Patty didn't come with me on the rest of my trip I don't have pictures of anything else. :( But it was fun seeing cousins and family in Idaho. Sadie loves Grandma and Grandpa's house and all her Uncles. And her Aunt Mary too. Too bad Sadie got really sick the last day at Grandma and Grandpa's because Uncle Luke (2 years Sadie's senior) decided to take Sadie outside with some matches that he climbed on top of the fridge to get to and they sneeked outside to start fires (barefoot, I might add! And it just snowed the night before!) That night she started coughing really bad and had trouble breathing because the asthma kicked in too. Oh and she threw up a couple times the next morning. Is it just me or does she get sick every time we go to Idaho? Maybe she takes after her dad and is allergic to Idaho?....
As for the boys (Jason and Braden), they got along just fine without us. Nana and Papa watched Braden on Friday and Monday while Jason was at work, and Jason had Braden the rest of the time. Apparently Braden was a perfect angel. I decided I need more girls nights out, the boys dont need me anyway!

When "nesting" goes wrong... An unfortunate series of events
Remember how I said earlier that everything was getting organized, including the garage, pantry, and closets? Well, guess where everything ended up that had any worth, but that we didn't want? The back of our Tahoe. I didn't want to throw it away, so I was going to take it all to goodwill or DI. Sometime. So when I needed groceries last Saturday, I had forgotten about all the stuff in the back and there wasn't much room for the food. A bagger helped me take the groceries to the car and I quickly put everything as much to the side as I could so there would be room for the groceries and then I put the kids in the car while she put the groceries in the back. When I unpacked the car I noticed somehow I was shorted a gallon of milk. I called the grocery store and they said they would replace it if I brought my receipt. Didn't do it because it was kind of late and I didn't want to make another trip.
Fast forward to Wednesday. After a while I noticed the car was a little smelly and I thought, "Braden, you stink!" I also made a quick stop to the store to grab car fresheners. Potpourri sounded nice so I got that one.
Then yesterday, Thursday, Jason was working in San Francisco and couldn't drive the truck because it is too big to park anywhere out there. He took everything out of the car: carseats, purse, papers, AND everything out of the back. He told me there was a weird smell in the car, there must be pee in the carseat or something so I handed him the potpourri car freshener I bought to put in there.
Thursday evening I noticed, sitting in the pile of stuff that had been pulled out of the back of the car, the gallon of milk in a grocery bag! The whole garage smells TERRIBLE. The milk is separated and leaking into the grocery bag. I called Jason and asked him if he noticed he had taken the gallon of milk out of the back of the car and he said he hadn't but he can barely stand the smell of the Tahoe anymore. He thinks we might have to strip the carpet and seats out because it smells so bad. I guess the hot day just did it in yesterday because when he got back and I smelled it, woooow it was not good. I think the potpourri smell added to the stench so I took it out and sprayed Fabreze. I let it all air out for a little while this morning but its still pretty bad.
Anyone have any great odor eliminating methods?
Oh, and just for the record... I SWEAR I checked though everything in the back 10 times just in case the milk was back there and found nothing. Jason looked too... and he didn't even notice he pulled it out of the back yesterday! Who bags their milk anyway!

Top 10 signs of the last Trimester
1- My closet looks like a tornado hit it. Every day I try on 5 different shirts and 5 different pants until I find something that I feel like I don't look like a beached whale in. My hips are getting wider and my tummy bigger so its hard to find a shirt that my stomach doesn't hang out of and pants that both stay up and look cute. I'm so jealous of people like Jenni and Melanie that don't gain anywhere but in their stomach!
2- Everything is getting organized! I've gone through the garage and pantry, and the kids closets, next up is the office. (saving the best for last I guess)
3- Can't bend over anymore. Well, without looking totally ridiculous anyway. Jason doesn't understand why it is such a big deal - it doesn't seem like it should make that much difference in bending. But its not like babies are made of rubber!
4- Got all the baby clothes and bassinet out. Working on finding new furniture for Braden so I can steal his crib from him.
5- Can't sleep through the night without getting up going to the bathroom
6- The baby's kicks are getting much stronger. Sadie has been telling everyone about the baby's kicks she felt, she is so excited about her new sister.
7- I get winded so easily! Going up the stairs was no big deal but now, if I'm in a hurry and try to go fast, I breath like I just ran a race!
8- I'm started to get worried about what we are going to name this little one. I don't want to wait until they give us the birth papers like I did with Braden to decide on the name. Any suggestions?
9- Any food sounds good, anytime. Different from the first trimester when nothing sounds good, ever.
10- Not cold anymore. I'm usually the first one to say I'm cold normally, but my poor kids keep telling me lately "I'm cold! Mommy, I'm cold!" I just don't feel it. I have to ask Jason if it is really that cold. Well, usually he doesn't feel it either. Maybe it's his sympathy weight keeping him warm.
