Our own family reunion

Well it has taken me a while to get this post written, it seems these last few weeks have been really busy and I've been pretty tired. I finally had a little bit of time, and remembered I still haven't written this post, so here I am. A few weeks ago my family had a family reunion in Minnesota. Unfortunately because I'm so close to being due we were not able to attend. I think both Brandon and I just kind of forgot about it since we weren't going until my family started mentioning their travel plans. At this point Brandon and I got pretty depressed that we were going to miss out on such a fun family time, so we decided to have our own little family reunion of sorts and do things we don't normally do. We made sure to take a lot of pictures to document and help us remember this special week we had to spend time together before everything changes. (FYI this is a very picture intensive post)

Sunday: We went on a walk (which we do normally do). We wore the t-shirts made for the family reunion. Afterwards I convinced Brandon to paint my toenails, so nice of him. And it just so happens someone came over that night to talk with Brandon so we asked him to take a few pictures for us, a little awkward to ask him to take pictures of Brandon painting my toenails but he was pretty cool about it.

Our family logo is in the bottom left, we think we were pretty clever! (In case you can't read it: Bun-in-the-oven.com, Boise Bickmore Bakery, Brandon, Andrea, Baby)

  

Monday: We had FHE, we got a Papa Murphy's pizza (which ended up being dinner for the entire week), then we finished reading Banana Split.

Tuesday: We decided to take another relaxing day and played video games (this is something we do often, but we enjoyed it).

This is what happens when I'm having a hard time winning.

Wednesday: We went and played miniature golf at Wahooz. The course was a little lame and it was pretty crowded so we felt a little rushed, but it was still fun. Since it didn't take as long as we thought it would we decided to get a little frozen yogurt afterwards, always a fun treat!

Thursday: We planned to go play disc (frisbee) golf, but when we got there and found it extremely crowded, I decided I didn't want to be rushed, especially since I was going to have to change my normal throwing position, to make sure I didn't twist too much. So we ended up throwing a frisbee back and forth, which was fun.

Friday: We went to the Cheesecake Factory which was pretty good. I think Brandon's favorite part was the cheesecake, he has mentioned going back and getting some a few times. Since we went to a little bit earlier of a dinner we were able to not spend too much since that restuarant is normally pretty pricey. Afterwards we red boxed "Captain America" which was pretty good. (Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of this night)

Saturday: A few ladies in our ward threw me a baby shower. The pictures they took are not the most flattering, but I guess that's to be expected being 35 weeks along. It was super nice of them to throw the shower for me and I got a lot of really cute things for our little girl. (Don't worry there was more than just one girl there, I just didn't want to overload you all with pictures)

This cake was hand made by one of my visiting teachers, it was so cute. The inside was made up of purple and green layers of cake.

This little girl is either going to love Giraffe's like her mommy or absolutely hate them.

Overall it was a pretty good week. I'm glad we were able to have a good time, and make some good memories even though we missed out on the family reunion.
