The Best Two Years

On Saturday, March 24 we went over to my cousin's house for parties. I have three cousins that live in Henderson with their families (about 25 minutes away). In the photo: Troy, Adam, me, Brooke, Sarah, Jordan, and Emily. We celebrated Brooke's birthday and then Greg made his famous homemade pizza. It was a great time! FYI: Emily is due ten days before me.



On Sunday, March 25 we hung out with our friends, the Jolleys. Heather's due date was one month before mine, but the next morning she had her baby. So lucky. It's fun that our babies will be so close in age. Maybe that's why we had an immediate friendship.



On Monday, April 2 it was our 2 year anniversary. Since we were both on Spring Break we decided to do something outdoors. We went to Red Rock Canyon and went hiking. I got some pretty interesting looks seeing as how I'm almost eight months pregnant...


My attractive husband. . .


likes to show off!!


We went on two easy hikes and found a "waterfall", which was really a spring...



I was so proud of myself for doing the hikes with my belly. That night we went to Olive Garden for dinner and then went clothes shopping using one of my gift cards... even Greg had fun shopping.


On Thursday, April 5 we decided we wanted to go to a show since we probably won't be able to once our baby comes. We splurged and went to see 'Donny and Marie Osmond'. We knew it would be a clean show (and that is hard to find in Vegas). Even though we had never heard any of their music before, they did not disappoint. They were so good.


We bought the cheapest seats possible, but after we had been seated for about five minutes, an usher came up to us and asked if we wanted better seats for no charge. We said sure. He took us to the FRONT ROW. It was awesome! Even our little baby was going crazy! Donny danced on tables and sat on people's laps. Marie put on dark red lipstick and kissed men on their foreheads. I had no idea they were such a big deal!




'The Donny and Marie Show' is named the #1 Show in Vegas. Pretty awesome!



This picture is proof that Greg has gained a little weight... probably like 4 pounds. Take a look at that belly!!!


Happy Easter!!!



This Wednesday I'll be 35 weeks along. Our baby girl will be here next month!

Whitney's Wonderful Wedding

On Friday, March 2 my younger sister Whitney got married. They got married in the Manti Utah Temple. Although it was a cold day, she was in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. Here I am with Greg at their yummy wedding luncheon.



Here is Greg with some of my sisters: Cassidy and Bethany.



Classic Greg...



While participating in the wedding festivities, my sister Bethany announced that she was pregnant. That means that there are FIVE SISTERS pregnant at the same time. Pretty cool. We HAD to take a picture. I am in the front because I'm expecting my first, then my sister Ashley expecting her second, then Bethany expecting her third, Heather expecting her fourth, and then Sarah expecting her fifth. 1-2-3-4-5! Pretty cool.



This is a picture with my sisters and my mom (the bride had not arrived yet, so we're missing one sister).


Okay, so it is really cool that I am pregnant with so many sisters. Take a look at our bellies. The first belly you see is Bethany's...she due in November. Then you see Ashley due in July, then Sarah due in June, me due in May, and Heather due in April. We love showing off our large bellies!



Sisters together at last! Here I am with my sisters: Bethany, Ashley, and Heather. We're a little silly...


Another sisters picture: Ashley, Sarah, and me. Do any of us look alike?



Here I am with some of my siblings at the luncheon: Heather, Ashley, Justin, Cassidy, Bethany, and me. Looking at that salad makes me hungry...



Ashley and her daughter Cheyenne



All the bridesmaids had sashes that matched their shoes. This was no easy task...



Here we are at the reception. My parents pulled it off again! I guess my nephew Emery wanted to be in the picture too...


At the reception with Greg and Dad. It was a great time! We are so happy for Whitney and Adam and wish them the very best. Which of my three siblings will be next?



On our way back to Vegas we stopped by Grandpa and Grandma Gunderson's house (Greg's grandparents). We had some nice visits and delicious food!



Yesterday one of the Young Women in my ward got baptized along with her brother and parents. Today they were all confirmed in church. It was a special weekend. We even match!

February Favorites

At the beginning of this month (Feb. 1) we had the opportunity of attending a rally for Mitt Romney here in Vegas. We had never been to a rally before, so it was a really cool experience for us. They packed us all in like sardines and gave us stickers and a Romney poster. Here's our proof:



"Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!" Pretty catchy, don't you think?? (Sorry the picture is so blurry.)



On Friday, Feb. 10 we attended the Henderson Symphony Orchestra Concert. Being married to Greg I have been to my share of symphonies and concerts. In fact...



On Valentine's Day we went to see the UNLV Symphony. They aren't half bad!



On Friday, Feb. 17 we went to see Judy Long's Photo Gallery. We assumed she was some famous and well known photographer. We thought that there would be a huge museum full of all of her artwork. When we got over there though, the gallery was in one tiny room and there were about ten photos. Haha! Pretty cool pictures though.



Since Greg has class late on Tuesday nights, we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day on Monday. When I got home from work Greg was dressed in his nice blue shirt and was slaving away in the kitchen. We decided that this Valentine's Day we wouldn't eat out, we'd eat at home. It was really nice and romantic.



Greg made homemade chicken noodle soup (one of my favorites), chicken cordon bleu, garlic mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, vegetables, fresh green salad and juice. Then we ate chocolates for dessert. Greg had the table decorated all fancy with candles. Such a thoughtful husband. After dinner we watched our wedding slide show and 'You've Got Mail'. We love each other very much.



Can you believe we've almost been married for two years? Crazy stuff.



Here I am at 25 weeks



26 weeks


27 weeks... one more trimester to go. In three months our baby girl will be here!

The Pregnant Lady

Here I am at 21 weeks. Take a look at how I've grown over the last few weeks. It is now quite obvious that I am growing a baby inside of me...


22 weeks along


23 weeks along


24.5 weeks along!!!


This weekend we celebrated Chinese New Year. Here we are in the Venetian by a dragon. The dragon cost a half million dollars to build. It even blows fire and steam. Pretty cool! Just in case you didn't know, it's the year of the dragon. Our baby will be strong, they say.


Here's a better view of the cool dragon.


Then we went to the Bellagio and checked out their Chinese New Year display. They had several different dragons. This one was my favorite.


This one was Greg's favorite. Happy Chinese New Year!!

Our Happy Travels

1. PROVO- The first place we went to during our Christmas Break was Provo, Utah. My sister Ashley and good friend Tania threw me a baby shower. Tania was kind enough to let us have the shower at her house. Me and Tania have quite a history. We met each other in 2002 as silly freshmen roommates at BYU.


Here we are at the shower talking about baby stuff. It was nice to see some old friends again.


Greg showed up at the very end of the shower. Do we look like we could be parents?



2. WEST JORDAN- This Christmas we spent it with the Burrs in West Jordan, Utah. On Tuesday, December 20 we went to Temple Square to see the beautiful Christmas lights. The climate was a little colder than the Vegas weather we are used to... In the photo: Dad, Mom, Rachel, Malerie, Greg, and me.



Having the time of our lives! In the picture: Malerie, Rachel, Greg, and me.


On Christmas Eve the girls got matching pajamas for Christmas morning. Here I am with: Malerie, Rachel, Aubry, and Mom. Aren't we so cute?



Merry Christmas from the Burr Family! In the back: Jesse, Aubry, Joel, me, and Greg. In the front: Rachel, Malerie, Mom, and Dad.



(Sorry this picture is out of order.) On Wednesday, December 21 we made Christmas chocolates. In this picture Malerie is helping me make the peanut butter chocolates. I may have eaten a little more than my share...


We got some awesome stuff for Christmas. Here's the gang: Jesse, Aubry, me, Greg, Rachel, and Malerie.


Here we are all dressed up for church on Christmas morning. Do I look pregnant or what?? I am 20 weeks along. Half way there. Merry Christmas!



3. HORSESHOE BEND- After Christmas we went to Idaho to visit my family. My sister Whitney is getting married in 2 months, so my mom threw us a combined Bridal Shower and Baby Shower. How do you do that? My mom totally pulled it off! We ate pizza and my mom made our favorite cookie cake. Everyone had a great time. It was a success.




In this picture you can see the back of Whitney and me opening presents at the Idaho Pizza Company. Fun times. Thanks mom! (unfortunately I didn't take many pictures while we were in Idaho...I guess it's time for some New Year's resolutions!!!)
