Michelle, Stephanie, Rachel, Summer, and Katy (4 July babies and 1 September baby)

There are lots of pregnant girls at my work right now. Over the last few months we have had so much fun talking about all of the joys of pregnancy and upcoming motherhood! It seems like it was not long ago that we were all just finding out that each other was pregnant.
On Wednesday, we had a quadruple baby shower for the 4 girls who are all due in July! It was so much fun! We played a guessing game to see who could tell from our pictures whose belly was whose...and I couldn't even guess my own belly right! Each of us girls received diapers, wipes, a great lunch with dessert, and everyone at the office pitched in to give us each some cash to buy gifts. James and I are going to buy a swing with the gift money from Radiology Billing. Thank you all so much!!

Baby Shower!

Last Saturday, my mom and my sister Katie threw me a baby shower! It was such a beautiful day and everything turned out so nice. The food was great, the tables in the backyard looked great and the company was wonderful. Here are a few pictures to enjoy. I feel so blessed with all of the gifts we received. James and I are so lucky to have so much love and support from family and friends. Thank you to everyone! We really, really, really appreciate it!

3rd Anniversary!

Our 3rd Anniversary was on Wednesday, May 27th. For our anniversary, James wanted a tub of Laffy Taffy and I wanted a shopping spree in Park City. Sounds fair right??
Well, my favorite baby store, Carters, was having a 50-70% off sale that I couldn't pass up, and James is willing to let me spend on baby clothes when you can get khaki pants for $3.99.

We went up to Park City on Wednesday after work and stayed at the Peaks hotel until Friday. We just shopped, ate out, and hung out at the hotel (we couldn't miss the basketball games).
The last three years have flown by and I would not have wanted to spend that time with anyone else! James and I are trying to prepare ourselves for our lives to change in about 5 more weeks! You'll probably never read this, but I love you James!! You'll always be my favorite!

Memorial Day Weekend

We didn't really run, so don't let the picture fool you.

My nephew William is always so happy!

We had a lot of fun on Memorial Day weekend! On Saturday, I walked in the "Live wElle" 5k here in Springville with my family. I stole the 5k picture above from my sister's blog :). The race was a great event that honored the family of my parent's bishop and their ability to overcome challenges. The race went down my parents' street and as we passed their house both times, my mom and I thought we should just quit there and go in for a Pepsi. But we didn't and we finished the whole thing. James got to play some sand volleyball that morning, so he of course really enjoyed that. He didn't feel like getting up at 7:30 to walk with me. Why not James?
On Monday, we spent most of the day outside. We went up Diamond Fork Canyon and had a picnic lunch and went on a little hike. After that everyone rested and we had a bbq for dinner at my parents' house. It's so great that my family lives so close because we are really enjoying the barbeques and summer fun. After Memorial Day weekend we didn't want to go back to work. But we took our sun-burned faces back for two whole days and then took Thursday and Friday off to enjoy a little Anniversary vacation!

All Together in Utah

I know it's been a while since I have posted anything, so here are some new pictures to look at. At the end of April both of my brothers and their families were able to visit Utah for a little over a week and we were able to have the whole Farish family together before Jay left for Iraq. It was wonderful to be together and thanks to my sister-in-law, Lissa, we were able to get some good pictures of everyone. Also after the week of seeing what good babies our nephews are, James and I realized that our boy is probably bound to be the naughty one. Yikes! There can't be three good boys in a row.

More pictures....

30 weeks

Here are some updated pictures for those who are interested. We have made progress on the baby's room and we're excited that we only have about 10 weeks left until our little guy comes! We still need to get the wall decorations we ordered, a changing pad for the top of the dresser, and a rug, and then we're pretty close to being done with the baby room. We also recently got ourselves a new bedroom set and I think it's funny that James and I feel all grown up now that we have real furniture in our room. Other than working, doing things around the house, and watching Laker games, we have been enjoying some time with the Farish family that have come to visit Utah this week. I'll have to post some pictures of their visit later.

Getting Closer

26 Weeks

The baby room is in the works and I am getting bigger. Most days James reminds me that "the baby" is getting bigger. Thanks honey.
