My Little Doll

We didn't feel so stared at today in church. I think because everyone's attention was riveted on Lorelei walking everywhere. I got many comments on her dress today. One lady asked me if my mom made it. Sadly, I can't even remember who gave it to me.

Also, I heard another comment this week about how I must be due soon because I can't get much bigger. LOL- this was even by a lady who just had a baby. So this Sunday I decided to be a trend setter and didn't wear a single piece of maternity clothing.- sorry, I was too tired after church to take a pic.

Enjoy some pictures of my little girl who is growing up so fast.




"I'm so cute"
She really doesn't look like me very much.

Family Fun

We are finding a lot of these little lizards. Finally something that eats bugs that is cute!! I much prefer looking at these than the spiders.


The kids discovered they could roll these rings around on the ground in big circles. They had so much fun chasing after them.



I've been trying to get a video of Lorelei walking. It has been difficult because every time I pull the camera out she stops what she's doing. Luckily I got one here- there's enough going on that she still walks :)

30 Weeks

We moved here with no groceries so here is the start of our food storage after one shopping trip. At the checkout lane, the cashier asked us if we were trying to stock up a bomb shelter. Frank laughed and said no. That was before he realized we had 2 carts- then he asked us if we knew something he didn't.

Today I am 30 weeks. Hopefully only 9ish weeks left, but that might be wishful thinking. So this morning before church I was thinking I look ok today. Well, this was our first Sunday in our tiny branch. About 40 English speaking and 25 Spanish speaking were there. We are all together for Sacrament meeting but not for the other adult meetings. Church was.... a little uncomfortable. We were kinda stared at for a few hours. They reminded me a little of vultures. old vultures. This branch is very old. Did I mention the old thing??

So one guy came up to us after church (yes an old guy) and introduced himself. He talked to Frank awhile and then said to me, "So when is this one coming?" I said, "end of November". He looked closer at my belly and exclaimed, "You're gonna be Huge!" uhh gee thanks.
-----remind myself, he's old, he's old, he's weird and old.

I took a picture of myself when I got home.

Rental House

I thought I'd put up a few pictures of the house.
kitchen



master bedroom- it's an odd room. I guess it was originally a salon extention to the house so it has a door to the outside. The bathroom part is pretty much just a closet.

Kitchen and family room

Family room from the hall.

Living room

View from living room


Hall
hall bathroom, again an odd design. back where the box is is another toilet and sink and a door into a bedroom.

The boys' room has two doors (sorry for the blurry picture)

same room


Sun room

And here are some pictures of the spiders that are all around the outside of the house. they are very large. I'm putting them up as links so I don't have to stare at spider pictures on my own blog.
and yes, that's a moth it has wrapped up ready to eat.
