New Do and 30 Weeks!

My mother-in-law absolutly loves the fact that I have had more hair-dos than any one she has ever known over the past 4 years. AND of course here comes another one!! I went to get my hair done while in Provo, I was highly recommended to go see this hairdresser who works out of her home, and only charges $45 for a cut and color. WOW!! I pay $35 in Indiana at my old hairdresser just for a cut- so I thought this was a steal!! IF anyone is looking for a new hairdresser in Provo area let me know because she was great!! I also wanted to post some 30 week pics...10 weeks to go!! YEAH!!!

Strawberry Festival

Once again Utah has come to amaze us at the fun things it offers! We went to the Strawberry Day's festival in Pleasant Grove (which is about a 20 minute drive) for the parade that they were doing. We thought Halle would enjoy it and she LOVED every minute of it!! She enjoyed the fire trucks blaring their siren down the road, the horses that all the cowgirls/boys were riding, and especially the Princesses!! They had like Miss. Utah, and Miss. Pleasant Grove...etc.. and she thought they were from some magical world. The last picture is of her trying to get one final glimpse of a float before it turned the corner. It was hotter than Hades out there but we had a blast- we are getting great use of our pool here and are SO grateful we got one! We also realized that our time in Utah is coming to an end, we only have 5 more weeks until we head back to B-town...and are super excited to get back!! Once we get back, that also means we have 4 weeks until little dude is due!! We are super excited to have him joining our family!! Also- check out my new tickers down at the bottom of the page!! SUPER CUTE

HELP PLEASE!!

This is a "call out" for help. WE REALLY NEED IT!! To this day we are referring to the boy in my tummy as little dude. Names just haven't been clicking for us, and we haven't found one that we really really like. SO- please reply and give us any and all little boys names that you can think of. It has gotten to the point that when we go to the grocery store, I try listening to what other moms are yelling to figure out what their kids names are. So- let's here em!!! Just so you know we aren't total slackers the only names that I like (I haven't run some of these past the D-man yet) but, I like: Kyler, Devon, Mitchell, Scout, and Jack. But please give me more names!!!

Book for Boys

Sorry it has taken awhile for the next blog to come but, as you all know we were a bit busy traveling in Texas. We did have a good time we got to see all the family and friends that one could possibly dream of seeing!! Anyway- I have been wanting to talk about this book that I just got Dustin for Father's Day. IT IS GREAT!! It was the perfect gift for a dad-to-be of a little boy. This book is great (and thanks to Amazon not too expensive!!) It has all sorts of handy things that older guys might need refreshing on, or boys might someday want to learn!! It covers everything...a few topics are- Making a battery, Rules of Soccer, Baseball's Most Valuable Players, Making a Go-Cart, Skipping Stones...and the list goes on and on and on. It is a super cute book with all sorts of information. I would highly suggest it to anyone, more specifically for a husband from a wife. IT reminds them of all of their (I guess you could say) "duties" to teach their sons. This book was also recomended for the teenager but I think that might be a bit dangerous. Try it out!!

Happy Father's Day

Well- we know that it is late, but wanted to let all the Father's in our lives know that we love them so much and appreciate everything they do for us. Especially Dustin and the hard work that he does so that Halle and I can have so much fun at home together!! We love you and wish you a Happy Father's Day!!

Recipe Sharing

Just a note- there is a link over on the side of recipes that I cook, just like a day-to-day journal. If you have any good recipes that you make please share and I will post them up. The reason why i did it is because I have had questions of what to make so... check it out!

Granddad Passes On

On Friday night at 5:45 my Granddad, Frank Martino passed on from this life. He was in Africa on vacation with his wife Meme and their two sons and wives when this event started happening. All of his sons were able to go to Africa and see him before it happened-so I am greatful for that. We will be traveling to Texas this week for the viewing and funeral, and then Halle and I will be staying to play for a little bit with my mom!! Thanks for all your love and support.
