Did someone say Fatty?

I can't hardly wait until January 1st!

I must confess: I'm a hypocrite! I hated that my sisters, Jamie & Brittany, did not take more pictures of their baby bump, and here I am 25 weeks prego taking my first pictures. It's not that I don't love finally looking pregnant... I've just been tired, sick, busy, lazy, etc.

As you can see, I've been busy packing on the pounds. I don't feel bad about gaining as much weight as possible, even though little Bradley only weighs 1.5 pounds and is about 13 inches tall. As I see it, he needs all the swimming room I can give him if I don't want to get kicked as often. He also needs all the room he can get if he's going to grow up to be like his handsome dad.

Chillin wit da Boyz!

Last weekend Garrett & I got to chil wit da boyz! My brother David and his friends, Dylan & Mike, come up to Utah to watch the BYU game. We love when they visit- even if they seem crammed in our "little, brown shack", as Steven & Kylie have come to call it. It is very entertaining to watch them get ready each night before hittin up "P" town; lots of cologne, looking in the mirror, and wardrobe changes.

I would have to say that my favorite part about having my brother visit is seeing Garrett act like a high school kid. He fits right in; I love it. They talk and watch sports all weekend, eat more food for breakfast then I can possibly cook, and get into (a little too much) playing Saturday morning flag football. Not to mention their enthusiasm at the game! We sure are going to miss their visits when David is on his mission.

Big Gorilla

Talk about a self esteem killer...We went to the Africa Wild Animal Park in San Diego and they put these diagrams up there to show the public just how big gorillas are. I am sure it makes a cute picture for families to send there little kids up next to the Diagram to take home and show their friends. So when we get there and everyone is like "hey Garrett go stand next to the Gorilla diagram" and everyone realizes that Big G is as big as a Gorilla, the Zoo has a new attraction. Now we've got Asians running over trying to take pictures of this giant American man who is as big as a Gorilla. It is a good thing I am confident with who I am because that could have been a tough moment for me.:) so I found a new acronym... Big G now stands for Big Gorilla.

California Beach House

We went down to Oceanside with Brooke's Family and stayed right on the beach it was awesome! Here are some pictures from our room.

Well I guess it is time to start a blog since everyone and their dog is whining that we don't have one. I knew we were cool but I never knew other people cared about our "latest updates". Well if anything this will give us an excuse to take more pictures and show everyone how bald I am getting. Life is great in Provo. Brooke is 5 months prego with the future little Bradley Garrett Rose (We decided to name him after My best friend Brad who passed away while I was on my mission) and is starting to feel better. She was really sick for a long time and finally is starting to feel better. I am starting my last semester at BYU... Thats right... You heard it correctly, I am actually going to graduate and {hold the applause} going to get my master degree after graduation as well! This statement mostly invoked laughter instead of applause from my side of the family when I first brought it up to them because I am not the studious type to say the least. To put it quite frankly, I would rather go to a Celiene Dion concert and follow it up with a 6 hour marathon of women chatting about those dumb Vampire books than sitting through a 5o minute lecture on Statistics. So when I told them that I wanted to get my masters they were stunned. I think I shocked myself even. It has been a fun couple of semesters and we are hoping to get into UNLV's MPA program in January. (Dont worry Ryan, I already told my Dad I will wear a BYU shirt every day to school for two years until I graduate). Brooke is my sugar mamma and is still working hard at Calorimetry Sciences a TA Company... They make Calorimeters, scientific instruments that measure degrees... just google it. :) She pretty much runs the company and keeps everyone in line. She has been absolutely amazing through this pregnancy and we are so excited to have a baby. It will probably be the toughest baby in the world because of all of our "opinions" we have on how to raise your kids. :) I hear the phrase "just wait till you have your own kids" more than anything else now. I am afraid they are going to be little hellians. I am cool with them being ADD kids as long as they are not smart-alick punks like me. Anyway... We took some fun trips this summer and had some time to just relax so here are some pictures of pre prego Disneyland.
