33 weeks

I'm now 33 weeks along---only less than 7 left. I'm still feeling pretty good, although have had a cold for the past 3 weeks, other than that I have a good amount of energy left! This pregnancy has gone by really fast, likely b/c Peyton keeps me hopping. We included a picture of the "bare belly" this time- hopefully it doesn't gross too many people out--yes my belly button has been sticking out for quite some time-it really creeps Jason out. :-) I feel like I've grown a lot in the last month, although am still told I look really small from most people. I don't really feel small as there isn't much room in there left and he likes to squish my lungs! We are all anxiously awaiting him and still don't have a name decided for him yet. Peyton keeps telling me my belly is getting really big, but that this is taking forever! He will be here before you know it--although we still don't know which state he will be born in yet!

Fun with tissue paper!

Peyton received this neat craft set from Neveya for her birthday. She (and Jason) had fun making this fish and (even better) its pretty much mess free!! Thanks Drotz family!! We miss them now that they have moved to Texas...but hopefully we'll get to go visit them!

Baby shower

My friends were so nice to throw me a baby shower...it was a lot of fun and we got some great presents! It was great to see everyone.

Peyton's new dress

A few pics of us getting ready for the baby shower- Peyton was very excited to be able to open presents for "her baby boy".

Puyallup Fair

Ready for a train ride

.....and a boat ride!

What cute baby pigs

Peyton really liked the pigs

Peyton had a fun time on the rides at the fair...as always the faster and higher they went for her the better. Peyton also decided that Grandpa Mike needed to get some sheep, pigs and cows for her to show at the fair!

Road trip to the Goldsworthys!

Peyton and the Goldsworthy clan- Joel- 3; Chole-6; Luke-4

Katie and I --we are both pregnant--Katie about 9 weeks; I have about 9 weeks left :-)

I was very impressed by the amazing cucumbers Katie grew!!! She should enter it in some sort of contest :-)

Peyton and I drove to the east-side of the state to visit Katie and the kids, while her hubby is still deployed. We always have a fun time with them and will miss them so much when we move. Katie has been one of my best friends now since we first moved here---but we always seem to stay in great touch no matter where life takes us!

Rodeo

This was Peyton's favorite part of the rodeo :-)

We always go to the Puyallup Fair rodeo...fun was had by all as you can see!!!

Meyer update

We have a lot of changes coming up in the next couple of months. Jason has now been medically retired from the Army due mainly to his herniated disks in back/neck, but a few other injuries as well. So we will be moving back to South Dakota which will be a big change for us all, but it will be good to be near family again. Jason will be applying to law school at University of South Dakota and I of course will be home with the kids for awhile. We will likely be moving towards the end of October and are putting our house on the market this weekend. So we will have lots going on in October/November--moving, selling our home, having a baby, getting out of the Army, Peyton is turning 4 (already!) and changing the life we've known out here for the past 8 years!! We will definitely miss our friends who have become our family most of all, so pray for smooth transitions for us in the next few months..and that I don't have the baby in the middle of Montana while driving back :-) We'll of course keep everyone posted and keep adding pics to the blog!
