Best in the West! KCF!!

I know the fair ended weeks ago, and I forgot I had these pictures. Wes and I went with our fabulous spunky friends Ashley and Martin Hayward. The fair was lots of fun. I had lots of great food and I love, love, love taking pictures of the animals. Another of my favorite things to do is to take pictures with Smokey the Bear. Only you can prevent Forest Fires, or start them. Hey, I'm only saying the truth. People start fires sometimes, just ask my husband how many times he set our BBQ on fire, not on purpose of course:)












I love going to the fair, especially when there are free concerts. Ashley and I went to see Boyz II Men. They first came out when I was in grade school, and I still love their music, even though there is only three in the group now. I love their dance moves. Same old school dancing!! What was even better was being stuck in the back near the food stands and not being able to see the stage. I know I'm short, and I tried my best to stand on my tiptoes and move forwards, but everytime I had the chance, some super tall man or woman would get their first. Ashley kept laughing at me. It was great!!

Time for the baby bump

Well, believe it or not my stomach has popped! I've been told my stomach won't show until four months maybe even six, but I can't suck it in any longer, baby Peanut is making his/her presence known. My students are all excited, touching my stomach and making kissing noises. My coworker keeps telling me to buy maternity clothes. I'm just in shock. It feels weird having one's stomach pertruding from the body. It's not that big from the looks of it, but it sure feels big to me.

Ain't nothing but a PEANUT!!!

Well, it has been almost a month since I was able to last update the blog, and alot has happened. I am 8 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Extremely tired, and hungry, only nothing sounds good to eat. I go to bed at 5pm, wake up at 7pm, then go back to bed at 9pm. My master's program has taken a back seat and my grades reflect it. I really dislike getting A minuses :). I had my first ultrasound this last Tuesday. I had to take a glucola test and wait for over an hour for the ultrasound, because two of the machines were broken and only one was working. It looks like a peanut right now, and my husband and friends have been calling it peanut for the last couple of days. I still try to go to the gym when I'm not sleeping, but I can't have my heart rate over 140 and that is especially hard for me because I feel like everytime I step on the treadmill, stairstepper or eliptical my heart rate goes straight 160. Yikes!!!

My husband has been studying hard for his engineers test. I know he'll do great. He is already a great provider, but with a baby on the way now, he wants his family to have more security. When he passes the test he'll get a pay raise and start saving for Peanut's college fund. I love how he keeps thinking ahead.

School has been going crazy. I have meetings almost everyday, and I am always working on my BTSA work. BTSA is a two year program that will help me get my clear credential to teach forever!!! Well, not forever, it has to renewed after so many years. Other than my hectic life, eveything is going great. I love my life and husband, my family and friends and continue to grow in my relationship with the Lord. I couldn't ask for a more blessed life.
