Daddy's Girl

Darla has always LOVED Erik, but I would say specifically the past couple weeks she has become 100% a Daddy's girl. She wants him to push the shopping cart, the swing, the stroller, get her out of her car seat, carry her, walk with her, read books with her etc. It has been wonderful to have Erik around so much to help with Darla since he is done with work until school starts back up on the 8th of Sept (two days before my due date of course). Having him around has also given me a little more time to rest which has been nice since I'm moving a little slower these days. We are loving this time together before the storm hits. . . and who knows when that will be. All I have to say is thank goodness for peanut butter toast and sugar free jell-o. Both have been life savers since I've had to change up my diet the past couple weeks. All is well. Don't worry, I will keep you posted.

Pretty Princess

Attempting to dry the sponge curlers.
No curls, but we had a lot of fun (she wanted me to take them out before they were completely dry).
Loves to try on Mom's shoes!
Got a little pink princess backpack from her friends and LOVES it!
She is too hilarious, too darling, too sweet, too smart, too clever, too silly, and such a little princess these days!

we hated saying good-bye!


The Starkies (some of our best friends) moved to this past week to Texas. We had a great time trying to spend as much time as possible together before they pulled out. Darla couldn't get enough of cute Elizabeth, Paige and Dallin. May be we can meet up in Utah during Christmas time - we'll have to! We love you guys!

Here I am 36 weeks pregnant. We found out the past couple days that I have gestational diabetes - which has thrown me (I'm not going to lie. Never thought I'd have to prick my own finger 4 times a day). Luckily I have continued to feel great so it's just surprising to receive news like that, especially being so close to the end. Now more than ever I just pray for a healthy delivery and baby. I know it's all going to be ok. Four weeks to go . . . we can make it!

Nunu and Grandpa

Just a few pictures of the fun we've been having so far with Erik's parents. Darla is constantly saying "Nunu! Grandpa!" to get/keep their attention. We are spoiled to have such wonderful Grandparents for Darla. More details to come of our adventures once they are on the road again. We love you!
