Boise & Graduation Pics

This past weekend, we went up to Boise because I mentioned to Danny that I'd like to go to the temple there before I get too large and uncomfortable. So we went and had a grand time!

Disregard the 'classy' bags in the middle there...

The Boise temple has just been newly renovated so it was really beautiful on the inside - lots of stained glass!

In addition to the temple, we also visited the Idaho State Capitol...

and the Botanical Gardens, which were so pretty!

In the rose garden

Also in the rose garden. I should have taken more pictures of the flowers - they were so pretty!

Danny with the Old Penitentiary in the background

And my fave, Danny standing in a meditation gazebo thing :)

We also ate at Idaho Pizza Company, which was really good! We had been lamenting lately about how much we miss good pizza. There are so many good pizza places in Logan, so we were glad that we were able to find a good place up here. Luckily, there is an Idaho Pizza Company here in Twin - our saving grace! :)

And here are some fun graduation pics that my brother Stuart took on my graduation day (May 4th, 2013).

This was taken at the request of my mom :)

Isn't he the cutest? :D

Here, Danny is explaining the laws of physics or something :P

My mother-in-law Mardee made these awesome signs to hold during the processional. And she and Danny made quite a racket with the cowbell!

Another baby update below!

37 Weeks

My belly is so big! I also got a haircut!

*Sorry if you are sick of these updates all the time - this is more for baby's sake and my sake so that I can remember all of this years from now :)*
How far along: 37 weeks
Total weight gain: +20 pounds 
Sleep: Okay - some nights are better than others :)
Best moment this week/month: Just being one week closer to seeing her! My doctor said if she is born at 40 weeks, she'll be 9 lbs...I'm not too excited about that, but Danny is, because he thinks smaller newborns are too fragile and he doesn't want to break her :P
Miss anything: Getting a full nights sleep, not having to worry about where the bathrooms are when we go places, just being comfortable generally speaking :P
Movement: Yes, not so much kicking, but just moving around. 
Food cravings: Nutella...and ice cream :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...
Gender: Girl!
Symptoms: weight gain, frequent bathroom trips
Wedding rings on or off: On
Mood: Excited - I can't believe she'll be here in less than a month
Looking forward to: Seeing her! I honestly can't believe that it's so soon that she'll be here.  

Now I'm on to the weekly appointments which is exciting! :)

Weeks 35-36

No picture this week - I kept forgetting to get a picture and by the time I really meant to do it [today, now at 36 weeks] it was too late :P. But here is an update on how things have been the past couple of weeks:

How far along: 36 weeks (as of today) - one month left, people!
Total weight gain: +17 pounds 
Sleep: Okay - I've been having a hard time with falling asleep lately. I've been getting restless legs so it's been difficult, but working through it.
Best moment this week/month: Getting the last of the baby stuff we need - it feels good to be a little more prepared! :D
Miss anything: Getting a full nights sleep, not having to worry about where the bathrooms are when we go places :P
Movement: Yes, not so much kicking, but just moving around. 
Food cravings: not really, but I've been eating a lot of Nutella lately
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...
Gender: Girl!! Still no name yet (and even if we did have one, we wouldn't tell, haha)
Symptoms: weight gain, stretch marks, less sleep
Wedding rings on or off: On
Mood: Excited - I can't believe she'll be here in a month!!
Looking forward to: Seeing her in 4 weeks!

Tonight, I finished a project I've been wanting to make for baby girl and it's so cute. I followed the instructions on this blog, The High Heeled Hostess. She has a lot of cute craft ideas and this one seemed pretty easy. Anyway, here's how it turned out:

In other festivities, we went to Twin Falls Western Days a couple of weeks ago, which was fun. They had a parade, which lasted a long while, but it was pretty good. They also had a festival-type thing at the park with booths, food, and carnival rides so we checked it out and enjoyed the live music that was going on. They said it's bigger than their 4th of July celebration, so I'm not sure what we'll be doing for that holiday...Western Days was good, but the 4th of July should be great, so we might go to Rupert for their festivities that day :P

We also went to the temple up here, which was really cool. It's fun to go through new temples! We're planning on going to the Boise temple this weekend. 

And lastly, even though we are only living here for 3-4 months, our ward here has given us a calling! We are in the nursery 2 Sundays a month. Since this ward is a family ward, they have a lot of kids. Danny really likes it because he gets to play with toys all day, which makes 1-4 church go by a lot faster. :)
