Vegas Vacation!!!!!

Over Labor Day weekend Brian's parents so generously got us a hotel room at the New York New York! So of course we went to Vegas for the weekend! We left Logan with Brian's sister Shannon and hubby Matt (Thanks soooooo much!) and took off! We had a blast! The first night we went to one of my favorite restaurants, Lawry's Prime Rib, and it was so good! Brian got a huge cut of prime rib I think like 18oz and he ate the whole thing!!! Then we walked around the strip for just a little while, because I was so uncomfortable! We stopped and watched a few shows at the Bellagio (Which I'm such a dork but the fountains are my favorite part of Las Vegas!) and then we walked through the actual hotel.

It is so pretty inside and there's all kinds of cool displays. We got some fun pics! The next day we walked around the strip a little more, and Brian wanted to walk to the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel.
Well, we walked all the way there, only to decide that I was way too uncomfortable to wait for the elevator ride up to the top so we turned around and walked back. I swear that was more walking I've done in a long time.....especially being 34 weeks pregnant! Ya, I was in a ton of pain but we still had a really good time. We stopped to take a break from our endless walk down the strip one night and there was a professional sized firework that went off right across the street from us! It was super scary and almost knocked me into the fountain that I was sitting in front of! I think people got hurt too!




Oh, and the wind was insane, and blew over some of those big walls that they put up to gate the construction, and it knocked some lady down when it fell over! But luckily we weren't there when that happened! We saw the new bridge being built over the Hoover Dam which was really cool, but it's not done yet. And I think that's pretty much it! We had such a good time just getting away without Logan, although we missed him a TON! Thank you so much Mom and Dad Davis, and Shannon and Matt for making this trip possible!!! We love you guys!

I'm so thankful for my testimony!

This last week has made me so thankful for my testimony and has humbled me in so many ways. Brian just lost his job on Friday very unexpectedly, and I am just so thankful to know that even though it sucks right now, we will pull through this difficult time and be better and stronger when we're through this trial. I don't understand why we get some trials in life, but I truly know that if it weren't for my faith and knowledge of the gospel this trial would be so much harder to face and deal with. I am not sharing this with all of you to be worried or feel sorry for us, but to know that someone else is going through a difficult time too, and it's just so important that we rely on our testimonies and the Lord when we need him most. Rather than getting upset and thinking why is this happening to me, I have to try to think about the blessings and doors that will open because of this. Brian is very well qualified and has education that will get him a good job soon. I know we will be taken care of. And I am also working in the meantime and I'm totally still fine to work up until I'm due. So we will truly be fine through this. I just wanted to share with you that we are so blessed to have the knowledge of the gospel and the comfort of prayer. And I am also so thankful for all of my wonderful supportive friends who have always been there for me! You gals are awesome!

Moms shouldn't be allowed to get sick!

Okay, so I know I'm kind of a drama queen, but this is not dramatized at all! I seriously have been sick for like a week now! I have felt like crap almost every day. It started with me just feeling tired on Wednesday last week. I was just really uncomfortable because of the baby and all that stuff, but then on Friday I swear I started having like allergies. Or so I thought! It just got worse and by Sunday night I was miserable! I seriously slept almost all day on Sunday, and I still don't feel good. I woke up this morning with a super sore throat, and I even practically choked on my uvula (that hangy thing in the middle/back of your throat) when I tried to swallow some water. I finally decided that it's probably not just allergies or a cold, and it turns out I have a horrible sinus infection. It's HORRIBLE! I mean is it not enough that I'm already so uncomfortable and still a month away from m=having my baby, and that I still have to take care of my son and do all the things that moms have to do????? I guess not, because I have been so sick! But the good news is that I have some antibiotics that should take care of this, so I'm sure I'll be back to good in a few days. I swear though, it just shouldn't be allowed for moms to get sick!

Play Date!

I was desperately in need of some girlie time the other day....well, I think I'm pretty much always in need of girlie time, but anyway, I asked Emily (my sis in law) to come over. We had this wonderful plan of getting the kids down for naps after we ate and then having time to do pedicures on ourselves! Yeah, it was a great idea, but neither of the kids were really cooperating. Logan wouldn't go to sleep, and neither would Carson, but we kept trying to put Carson down for a nap. He got sooo mad, and cried so hard that his face was all red and puffy:( But I have to say it made for some really cute pictures! So here are a few shots of the two cousins being boys!! Oh and by the way, I got to do Emily's toes, and they looked SUPER CUTE!!! It was a TON of fun!

Logan's First Try at Coloring His Own Hair!

So Logan did something to his hair........
JUST KIDDING!!! I WOULD DIE!!!
Logan has been obsessed with hats lately, and he found this beanie that my Grandma Green made for me and it's soooooooo funny looking on him that I just had to snap a few pics! He's just too cute!

My Nasty thing update!!!

Okay, so I wrote about my nasty growth a week ago, and I went to the doctor, and I'm super happy to say that it's been removed! Apparently it was "a somewhat common pregnancy growth" and unfortunately I just grew it right in the middle of my chest! So it's nothing bad just freaking sick to look at!!! But here's the weird part. He said it had it's own blood vessel and so when he cut it off he had to cauterize the blood vessel otherwise it would just keep growing and bleeding! Freaky huh!!! There's also a chance it can grow back, but it's gone for now, and it just looks like someone put out their cigarette on my chest! But the black stuff should fade and it will just be a round scar. So I guess I'm still going to live! The picture above is what it looks like now, and it's still black from the doc burning my skin. It's no that bad at all, and it's a little swollen, but I'm sure it will look better in a few months!

Logan being cute!

This is just one of the millions of cute pictures of Logan being absolutely adorable. He's learned that when someone picks up a camera they tell you to "Say Cheese!!!" And smile at the camera, so this is Logan saying "Cheese" and smiling for the camera!
