Bathroom

 When we first moved into our condo two and a half year ago... we painted our bathroom yellow. There were some days that I loved how bright it is... others not so much. We've been meaning to paint it for a while and apparently my nesting stage of pregnancy hit because we went to town this weekend! Not only did we paint the bathroom grey, we re-caulked our tub, mopped the floors, cleaned out closets, cleaned our Easton's dresser, vacummed, did laundry and all the little things around the house like dishes and organizing. We still need to clean our cars out... but after this weekend I may be exhausted until after delivery!


Before...

After....

Casey picked the color both times. This time around it was called "notre dame gray". I think that in itself made it the right color. I don't think the pictures really do it justice, but we really do love our new gray bathroom.

Friday night we went to dinner and then Gardner's Village with Jody, Mindy and the girls.

There have been a handful of nights in my life where I may not be doing anything particularily fascinating... but for some reason everything is just perfect. On the way home from Gardner's Village, Casey and I both felt like this was just one of those nights.

The night started out with us being SUPER tired... actually questioning whether or not we were up to going in the first place. The traffic to Draper was awful and kinda put us in bad moods. It took about 30 seconds after we go to the restaurant and the look on these adorable faces to change that:



Happy 4th Birthday Alivia!!



Ava raced to meet us at the door when we got to the restaurant.



After dinner we went to Witchapalooza. It was a blast. The girls were running around super excited to see all the witches, the shops had the most adorable clothes, the weather was perfect, Casey was being his usual adorable self, and it was just really nice to walk around and have fun with everyone.

PREGNANT much?!

Casey and I both feel very fortunate to be able to spend time with these precious girls! We love them so much!

St. George

Two weeks ago we went to St. George with Rich and Michele, Matthew and my parents. Rich, Michele and my parents had tickets to see Aladdin at the Tuahcahn so the rest of us just came along for the ride.

We had a really good time. We went to the pool, went shopping, the boys went golfing, went to dinner and my favorite part of the trip ended up being when we played card games. Then my parents surprised us with tickets to go see Hairspray on Saturday night.

Don't mind me looking like I'm 500 pounds in this picture!!

On the way home we found this fun cafe in Beaver, Utah. Felt like we went back in time!

I might be baby hungry... but isn't he so CUTE!?

So this is kind of a long post about a simple mattress topper... but let's be real, SLEEP is like the most important thing to like everyone.

A few months ago I was having pretty bad back pain. I know back pain in pregnancy is common but I just didn't think the very center of my back was being that affected by my pregnancy at like 20 weeks. It got so bad that some days I would come home from work and put a heating pad on my back. I'm sure the cold I had for like a month didn't help.

So one day Casey and I found ourselves debating over getting a mattress topper.... for like an hour. Really... we probably haven't talked over any other purchase we've ever made for that long before. We knew it would be over $100 and if we didn't like it... that's a lot of money for us right now down the drain. I found out that these were on sale at Costco and after an hour of sitting in our living room debating (this may be partly because Casey was trying to avoid having to to Costco)... we went and picked one up.

BEST DECISION EVER

Since we got it, my back pain has totally gone away (hopefully i'm not jinxing myself right now) and we absolutely LOVE IT. We've had it over two months and still every night when we get in bed we are so happy because it is just that comfortable!

SUPER BONUS: since I've known Casey he has gotten migraines. We've learned in the last few years that the way he sleeps with his pillows can make or break his headaches. Also sleeping in... he's been pretty afraid of sleeping in cause maybe that was why he would sometimes wake up with migraines. He would get them at least twice a month and always on weekends... super bummer. Since we've had this matrress topper... he's been migraine free, regardless of sleeping in! (again...hopefully i'm not jinxing it right now). But seriously?! If we knew that getting this would in the least help with his migraines, we would have done this years ago!!

So THANK-YOU, novaform blue gel mattress topper thingy... you are awesome.

Family closeby

No pictures for this.... but just wanted to post that I'm pretty happy about the Hansen's living in Provo. In just the few weeks they've been here, I've been able to see them so much more. Cole always makes me laugh and I'm hoping eventually Livia won't be so shy around me :)

I'm also happy Matthew is here now too... he's living at the Riviera where I also lived my sophomore year. Good Luck with school bro!

Sleep

Saw this on Facebook, and nothing could explain the last month better. Besides waking up at midnight to pee everynight, I wake up every morning at about 4:15 am and can't fall back asleep until like 6 am. But then when my alarm goes off at 7:30 am, I want to throw my phone across the room so I can sleep longer. Seriously?
