So long scouts :-(

Well, my time with the wolf scouts of our ward is over. I know I can't physically do it anymore, but I'm still sad to say goodbye to them. We had some great times over the 2 or so years I was their wolf leader. These boys are amazing. They give me hope for the future. For being such little "men" they have strong testimonies and great optomism about life. I'm so glad I got to know them. They will make awesome missionaries some day. I will miss you.

Another maternity picture to check out

Here's another maternity shot that Kylie took...

My bare belly

As many of you know, my sister-in-law is a budding photographer. She has taken all of the great shots you see on my blog. She asked me last pregnancy to do a maternity shot. I was very hesitant and ended up not doing it. This time she convinced me to do it. I think part of the reason I agreed was because this is the last time I'll be pregnant, and wanted to capture the belly on "film". (This is only after numerous affirmations from Kylie that she can get rid of my many imperfections). I'll tell you, 4 pregnancies can really kill your body. Honestly, it's not a pretty site. Some day I'll have surgery to repair the damage...Hee hee!! Anyway, this is one she did with Delaney and I. When I get more, I'll share if it's not too revealing...Don't worry, Demi Moore and I will not have similar photos.

It's the BIG 33!!

Well, today is my 33rd birthday. Scott teases me and says I celebrate my birthday "month" which is almost true, but the actual day is still special. Today has been kind of a bummer so far, even though it's only 8:30 a.m. We were supposed to have our french doors installed this morning. The installer arrived and pointed out that Home Depot ordered the door swinging the wrong way. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come today. Scott is in class and I'm hanging out with Delaney and Natalie. Of course I plan on going somewhere fun for lunch...drive through of course. Maybe that will turn the day around.

Julie's Birthday

Thirty and still kickin!
