28 Weeks!

So i thought i should probably post some pictures of my pregnant belly. I cant believe i'm already in my third trimester! Its flown by. I only have two months left until our little angel arrives! I'm so excited. My stomach has kind of caught me off guard though! I feel like it grew over night. I find myself trying to squeeze into places i used to be able only to find out i cant suck in my stomach any more and usually get stuck! I also didnt realize how much i've been using my feet to pick things up until last Saturday i was doing laundry and had to bend over so many times! Its getting really annoying not being as limber as i usually am. While i was cleaning the house which wasnt even very messy i found myself kicking things to the middle of the room so i didnt have to pick up one thing at a time. I've also decided i miss my small belly because i cant reach anything! Being short in the first place kind of sucks because i always have to reach or get a stool to get reach higher things in the kitchen. Well its even worse. Because now i cant get very close to the counter because my belly gets in the way! I also cant just jump up onto the counter top to reach it either, So i've found out the stool had become one of my best friends! I cant wait for our little girl to come but i also cant wait to get back into shape so simple things are simple again! Here are some fun pictures!

I love vacations!

Chris and i have both had a pretty hard couple of weeks with work. I've had move ins and move outs for both complexes i manage so for two weeks the only day off i had was Sunday. Chris has been working 90 - 100 hours every two weeks because works picking up for him and on his days off he works at Alpine court doing all the landscaping. It was time we both needed a break.

We decided to go to Herniston where Chris' parents live. Chris used to be the 11 year old scout leader a few years ago and one of the boy was getting his eagle and chose chris to receive the mentor badge. At the court of honor the brought in this HUGE eagle. It was fun to see Chris sitting by it in the eagles nest. Chris said he was trying not to look at her in the eyes because he didnt want her to attack him. And when everyone would clap the eagle would get a little ski-dish and start ruffling up her feathers which freaked Chris out a bit. But it was really fun to see some of the kids Chris used to help with scouts.

Chris' parents both had the weekend off and decided i would be fun to take us to multnomah falls a few hours from their house. They were Gorgeous! It looked like one of those pre-installed backgrounds on your computer or in a calender. We hiked up to see a bunch of different water falls and then stopped to have a picnic.

We had such a good time with Chris' family and also celebrating chris' birthday. I officially made my first angel food cake! Its a tradition on the Hoskins family to make Angel food with chocolate frosting and M&Ms. I think its such i fun tradition!
