Go Cougars!

Matt's sister and her husband were nice enough to share their BYU football tickets with us! It was so fun to spend time with family and get to watch BYU's victory over Washington!

Baby Shower!

This past week I drove down to CA with my friend Colette and her two boys. We went down because the best mom ever and the best sister ever threw me a baby shower. It was Dr. Seuss themed and adorable! They had tons of cute decorations like the...Horton Hears A Who diaper cake
Cat in the Hat raspberry shooters

Dr. Seuss cupcakes

Green Eggs and Ham deviled eggs
and more!

It was so much fun to see friends and family and feel so loved. I was definitely spoiled and loved every minute of it. Little baby Bos is going to be one stylin little girl as she got so many precious outfits that I cant wait for her to wear.

Here are a couple more pictures of the fun night!

Kerstin, me and Marie

My friend Crystal and our big bellies. She is due in a couple weeks with a girl too! We used to have minnie mouse parties together when we were three!My wonderful parents after a wonderful night!

Thanks to everyone who made that night so special!

Mom and Pop Bos

We were pleasantly surprised when Matthew's parents came into town last weekend. We were able to spend some much needed quality time with them by going on lots of car drives, playing games, eating good food and enjoying each other's company. They were our lifesaver and drove us around since we were still missing our car. We loved spending time with them and look forward to their next visit at Thanksgiving!

Lake Powell

Its that time of year again... the most wonderful time of the year. The time when my family gets together and spends a week on the shores of Lake Powell. Even though I wasn't able to wakeboard or ski this year, (due to the ever growing belly) it was a blast! I love spending so much time with family, floating in the water, riding in the boat, and relaxing. Matthew was able to get some big air and clear the wake, and I was the best cheerleader I could be. :)

Unfortunately we had to cut our vacation short to go back to work. Ughh. I cant wait till next year when we will have a little eight month old to chase after!

On the way home we broke down in Scipio and had to get our car towed. We also racked up a huge bill to fix the car! We are finding out what it is like to be without a car. Grocery shopping is a little more difficult. Here is Matt trying to find out what to do with a broken down car.

Elder Miller Enters the MTC

Little Josh went into the MTC July 28th to serve in the Costa Rica mission. He was so ready to go and showed up to the MTC with lots of friends there already. I think that helped soothe my mom's fears and helped in the departure. Which by the way, the curbside drop off is the way to go! Not as many tears, just like ripping off a band-aid. I am so proud of my little brother and am excited for all the experiences he will have in the next two years.

Baby Bump

Last Sunday Matthew took a couple pictures of my ever growing belly. It seems like it is already bigger than this, but I just thought I'd give you an update on my silhouette. Not much else has been going on besides work and creating fun projects for our baby girl!

Let Freedom Ring

This weekend we spent celebrating our Independence. We woke up early Saturday morning to watch the hot air balloons take off from Bulldog field. Unfortunately it was windy and only three balloons took off from the ground but it made for some great pictures when you have a talented photographer for a husband.
We rested a little and were able to go to Veterans Memorial Pool for a couple of hours and try to cure our bodies of the whiteness that Winter has caused.

To finish the day off right, we had a barbeque at the park and loved our day of spending time together and relaxing.

A Baby Surprise

This week was full of surprises! We found out the sex of our baby and Matthew got a promotion! Whoo hoo! To add to the list I thought I would surprise my mom on her birthday. I "lied" to her and told her I was finding out what we are having a couple days after we actually were. We found out on her birthday and I couldnt wait to tell her. The video pretty much explains it all, but we are so excited to start planning for a baby girl, coming this fall! We cant wait!

Draper Temple

Last Saturday we went to the Draper Temple. We are hoping to visit a new temple a month in Utah. Seeing as how there are so many, we will keep ourselves busy. Next month is Manti! We are hoping to see the Manti Pageant while we are down there.

The city of Draper surrounding the temple was beautiful and made us realize that Provo is, lets face it... kind of dumpy. I guess we were spoiled living in beautiful Lafayette for the past year that we quickly started making plans to live in a nicer area. hahah!

Matthew is the photographer of the family and is great at documenting our trips. However, that means you pretty much get pictures of just me. We are working on getting pictures together. Pretty soon, (not as soon as I would like) you will get an overload of pictures of our little baby! For now... here are a couple of pictures of our day in Draper.

Capturing the Tulips!

While its not the greatest picture, it is a picture of the two of us together!

Happy Anniversary

Two years ago, yesterday, Matthew and I were sealed in the Newport Beach Temple. We celebrated by going to dinner in Salt Lake on Saturday and touring the This Is The Place monument. On our actual anniversary we were able to go miniature golfing. Something we had never done as a couple. We are glad to finally check that one off our list. It has been so fun to look back on the past two years at all that we have accomplished and experienced together. I cannot imagine spending my life with a greater person. Matt is such a great husband and will be a great father.

That time is coming soon! We are expecting a baby on Nov. 4th! I am fifteen weeks along and slowly starting to feel better. They say the second trimester is the best! We are excited for what the future has in store as we share many more life experiences together.
