The Latest

Life has been crazy lately! We moved a few weeks ago and have been getting settled ever since. We ended up moving to Sandy so that we can be closer to Josh's dental school. I really like the place so far....feels a lot more like home! We also were able to get the nursery set up, which is great. Here are a few pics of the new place...




Other than that....well i'm just 9 months pregs, no biggie :) Here is my final pregnancy pic (just over 36 weeks):

Lastly, i've had a few baby showers and they were fabulous! I got lots of great stuff for baby Beckett. My fab friends threw me one last month (blogged about that earlier), the Sharp family threw me one last week and then my side threw me one today. No pictures were taken at the Sharp shower but I did get a few from the other. It's crazy to think that the next time i'll be blogging is probably going to be after the baby is born. Nuts!!

33 weeks and a Baby Shower!

Wowzer....I am 33 weeks! I can't believe it but at the same time I still have 7 whole weeks to go. Sometimes I feel like it is an eternity and this guy will never get here! Here is my 33 week pic below, how round and tubby wubby I feel :)

Last week my friends threw me a baby shower....it was fabulous! They did a great job and we all had a great time. I got tons of awesome stuff for baby Beckett, my friends are the best. You must also check out the decor/food in the pictures. They had cute cupcakes, a legit cake (Katie is the new Cake Boss), a Beckett sign, diaper tower. Thanks again friends...love you all!

And the new news....we are moving! Due to Josh being accepted to dental school & us also being really sick of Utah County....we are getting the bejeebers out of here. We found a nice older house in Sandy and we'll be moving this weekend. It's a big relief that we were able to find a bigger, more open space for us....and to find it & settle in before the babe gets here. We are lucky ducks! The new place has its pros and cons but will definitely be a better place for us these next few years. Ya'll gotta stop by some time and say hi :)

March Happenings

The past few weeks have been full of new things and adventures. Last week we went up to Logan to see our new neice get blessed, Mazee Sharp. Below is a picture of her with some of the other girl cousins. Super cute.
The big update for us is that we found a new place to move and will be moving in about 2 weeks to Sandy. As soon as we found out Josh got accepted to the dental school in Riverton we knew we would prefer to move before the baby was born. Luckily we were able to find somewhere and we are very happy with it. I'm excited to move and settle in....and finally decorate the nursery!

Then March 8th, 2011.....Poppa Stapley turned 50! Yes, the big 5-0. Not gonna lie, we were a bit nervous about the festivities because he was a bit of a downer on his 40th birthday. But we did not fail, we celebrated whether he liked it or not. Us kids decorated his office with balloons & pictures of him growin up....oh they were awesome, and we embarassed him at work. Then we went to dinner on his birthday & Trevor wore a shirt with pictures of my dad on it from the 70's & 80's. We had his family bday party that weekend. My mom made cute cupcakes and awesome M&M's (if you look close you can see that some of them have a picture of my dads face on them-when we was younger. And others had 'Todd is 50!' on them). All in all, good time, good fun, and my dad had a good attitude about it-for the most part :)

Mission Accomplished!!! :)

Josh got accepted to Dental School!!!!!! Mission accomplished and we are beyond excited. Josh applied to a bunch of schools & got a interview last Friday to USN (College of Southern Nevada-they are opening up a new school in South Jordan). He was beyond prepared for his interview & rocked it. He got a call the next Thursday from the admissions committee & they offered him a spot for their Fall 2011 Inaugural Class.

We are so excited especially because we get to stay here in Utah. It would have been a good experience to go out of state, but i'd rather be close to family with the new baby on the way. I am so proud of Josh, he knew what he wanted and went for it full force. So....in 4 years we'll have a dentist in the family :)

House Projects

I love house projects, makes me feel accomplished once their done. We had a kitchen table that was pretty scuffed up and looking worn. Instead of trying to find a new one we decided to fix it up. Josh & I sanded all of the painted parts down (table legs & chairs) and then painted them a dark red to match our kitchen. It was a process but we are very satisfied with the ending product. What can I say, we're the next Mr. & Mrs. Martha Stewart....Here is how it turned out:

I also got my modge podge itch and completed the last item for baby's room. I bought & painted a shelf to match the colors in his room-then I modge podged his name. I guess if you didn't know what name we had decided on previously, the cat is now out of the bag :)

bic4good.com

So this week in the Sharp household my husband turned from a sweet man to a serial killer ;) joking, joking. He is still sexy.

Okay, so Josh heard about donations Bic was giving for everyone that shaved their head (bic4good.com). If you send in a picture of your head shaved they are donating $40 to Make A Wish Foundation, if you upload a video then they will donate $400. So Josh being Josh, he bic'd his head. Luckily he has a nice round noggin so he doesn't look bad.

But check it out....go donate!

29 Weeks

Here is the 29 week belly bump pic. I have to say, I feel a lot bigger than I look. I also have sympathy for those women with not a lot of torso room. I have a lot and am so thankful for that right now. I can't wait for our little man to come....its getting closer (May 10th) woo hoo! We have been getting all our supplies and getting more and more anxious to meet him!
