Six Months Pregnant!

We took these pictures a couple weeks ago...at about 6 months pregnant! Basically, the only thing I wear these days are sweatpants! At my last Dr.'s appointment, we found out I was anemic and developed gestational hypertension (high blood pressure). I have NEVER had a problem with my blood pressure, so I was a little bummed! Apparently, there is a higher chance of preeclampsia with high blood pressure, so I am supposed to take it easy...Please don't put me on bed rest! I have an appointment tomorrow....



My belly is (obviously) bigger now, so I must take more pictures soon! My stomach is starting to itch a bit, too! Oh, I forgot to mention the hiccups our little one has been getting! I have felt her have the hiccups a few times! I am so excited to meet our baby girl! I just pray she is growing strong and healthy!

Dustin Surfing

I especially enjoy watching Dustin surf! I especially love when the tide is extremely low and I can walk almost out to the wave! This is my favorite little barrel picture!!


This is my next favorite picture...I snapped it just before the barrel began..oops!

Squaw Peak

Dustin and I took a drive up Squaw Peak! I hadn't showered for the day, so I refused to be in any pictures, but here are a few of him and the scenery!!



I love this picture--Dustin and Choco look like great pals!

Bon Fire at Upper Falls

What better way to kick off Grant's last days (before the MTC) than a little bon-fire? It was a mini family reunion with half the Roberts' kids! I absolutely love my family! I am grateful to have married a man who fits in so well and whom my sibligs can be proud of! Similarly, I am thankful that Colleen married a hard working, thoughtful man who can feel at ease with us!

We stopped at Colleen's work to pick up some crates for the fire! Chris, the little Boy Scout, started the fire!

My fantastic siblings! I love each and every one of my brothers and sisters! I was so happy to spend time with them!!

Choco loves his Unkie Wicky!! Choco loves to go hiking, skating and boating with him! Ricky has been vying for Choco to move up to Utah when the baby arrives...we might just grant that wish!

Dustin is perfect! I am so excited that we're starting a family together!

The kids! Chris looks so happy, huh? Colleen and Grant are always picture perfect!


I can't remember if this is Bridal Veil Falls, but I think it is. Pretty, huh?

Choco and his dad entering Upper Falls!

To be honest, Ricky and Colleen are Choco's favorite Aunt and Uncle. Now, don't take offense! It's just that he's spent the most time with them! Plus, his crazy Aunt Colleenie always riles him up, is playful with him and takes him on walks! I already told you why he loves Rick....do you remember the reasons?

Feed the Ducks!

While Dustin and I lived in Provo, we used to skate down (via bike path) to a little duck pond where we would rid ourselves of stale bread or cereal. We decided to visit the pond with Grant and Colleen! Choco loved being off of his leash, too!


I think this picture looks like a clothing add! This bridge goes over Provo River.


My FAVORITE little sister! Colleen is one of my best friends!!

Grant loved using up leftover Corn Flakes to lure the geese over....

Did I mention I LOVE Dustin? He is so stinking sweet, handsome and kind!!

What a pretty day!! Usually, this park is filled with Hispanic families, but the park was ALL ours on this day!! (I hate being the one closest to the camera...does anyone else feel that way, or is it just me?)

Is Dustin picking his little nose? I don't know why my computer is underlining things...

Why the sour face, Dusty?

Silver Lake

I prefer taking dirt roads as opposed to well-paved ones. One such road that we decided to take (while in Utah) was up to Silver Lake. After a special mid-day lunch break with Ricky (the working man), Dustin drove me, Colleen and Grant up to the "lake," which is actually a reservoir. This reservoir is usually filled with water, but when we came upon it, we were surprised to find it practically empty!! With hardly a point to document the lake, we "settled" on the changing leaves of fall!



These trees sparkled like glitter pom-poms! It was amazingly beautiful!



This is our little LOVE photo...see our hands? Cheesy...

Tibble Fork Lake

On our way back from Salt Lake, we chose to take the Alpine Loop, which runs past Tibble Fork Lake. Here are a few pictures:

I guess I had to be in every picture..... Isn't Dustin such a handsome man? I love him!!


Colleen is so pretty! I tried to have her hide my belly, but she scooted to the side at the last second.... mean, just mean!

I like the 'Broken Arrow' shirt that Grant is rockin'!

Alpine Loop

Elder Grant and Colleenie Bean!!

I'm pretty sure that EVERY picture (that I'm in) has someone gripping my big belly! :)

Except this one!! This is a little stream by the port-a-potty we HAD to stop and use...okay, I was the only one who used it....

This is Tibble Fork Lake, which is frozen in the wintertime. On the other side of the lake (out of photo) lies a 'bowl' in which sledding occurs throughout the winter!! In the summer/fall, you can fish in this lake!
