Cyber Monday is coming soon

Hey everyone,

Garrett has asked me to pass this on. He wants to know if everyone could
put this banner on your blogs and facebook to help promote his Cyber
Monday website.

It will look like the banner on the right of this post.


All you have to do is add the code below on a new text gadget on the

Yay Month Four

I am a couple days away from being 4 months along. Everyone was right second trimester is way better than your first! I just got my weekly update of our baby. Our baby is a size of an apple with lots of developing happening.



On other baby news. Jenna just had a baby on Thursday. Gweneth Elise Crandall. She is beautiful. Everything with the c-section went perfect. I am going out there in a couple days to meet her. I'm so excited!! Check out the crandall blog to see pics of this little cutie.

The past couple months

I was talking to Jenna today and she said, Why don't you update your blog? My response was I haven't done anything lately. I have been eating a lot of fast food, felling sick, and sleeping. The past 2 weeks I have finally felt like myself again. Looking back the past two months have been such a blur or nothing. It feels good not to be sick.

The only really fun Halloween thing we have done was go pick out our pumpkins. It was fun. We went to a pumpkin patch and attached to it was a apple orchard. So we picked some apples too. They had the best Apple Cider ever too. I bought this huge thing of it and already drank it all. I don't think Garrett even had one class. sad thing is we haven't even craved them yet. I haven't even thought about Halloween other then today. I have been online seeing what fun thing we should do. So far I have come up with nothing. Maybe we will just rent movies and eat looks of fun things. I don't know. If anyone has any ideas on what to do in Utah let me know.
Another eventful thing happened on Tuesday. We received our first snow. Yeah that's right there was snow on the ground. It was so cold I thought I was going to die from frost bite. Now the highs have been in the 40's. Winter is here...

Update

Thank you for all the advice and congratulations. We are really excited. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I guess I have been really busy. To start off with I went down to AZ about 2 weeks ago. I didn't take any pic so sorry. It was so fun spending time with family and friends. We just hung out and ate whatever sounded remotely good to me. It was weird because I was still so tried and so sick. I stayed home a lot and took naps.

Then, I flew home Sunday the 4th and Garrett flew home that same day. He had been gone almost 3 weeks. (That's why I took off to AZ) It was his birthday that Sunday. We were both so tired and I was so sick so we didn't to a huge thing for him. I felt bad. We went to dinner, he opened some presents. I didn't even bake him a cake. I am a bad wife. Later that week part of his birthday was Thriller tickets. That was incredible. We had so much fun. Again no pic. I brought my camera but I had forgotten to put the memory card back in it. After that, Garrett stayed home for 1 week and 1/2. It was so fun having him around. He just left yesterday and gets back Sat. So this trip isn't too long.

Another exciting event that took place is we went to our first doctors appointment. Our Doctor is really cool. Everything is normal and I got a little pic. of our little peanut. After seeing the picture it made all my sickness worth it. It made it so real now. Before I felt I was just sick and gaining weight, but now after seeing the baby and hearing the little heart beat I m OK with it. Hopefully I wont stay sick for to much longer.

Glee

If any of you don't watch this TV show you should. I laugh so hard in it. Its about a Glee club and how they are trying to make it popular. Anyways, yesterdays show was hilarious. The sang and danced Beyonce, Single Ladies.

You have to watch it. The football team does the dance...

College Football

Well its official. I have really lost my husband. Yes, some wives are understanding what I am saying because they to know that college football has started again. When we were first married it was mind boggling to me when Garrett could sit on the couch all day and watch football. Now, 2 1/2 years down the road I get it. I think. I just make a party out of it. The guys bring there wives and we all have fun.

On a completely different subject, Swiss days was last weekend. I haven't had time to post my incredible finds yet. With school starting again, already I have been slacking on my blog. I was so proud of myself for posting so often. That week was fun. Jaime came into town to take care of some stuff for Swiss Days for Baby Laundry. It was a very fun and busy week. Here is what I have found.

McCall's mom makes these purses. They are wonderful.

Hope on the Range

The other night, I attended a charity event with some friends. It was for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. It was incredible. First, here is a little history about it. I just feel like everyone should know what they are doing here in Utah and how remarkable it is.

Huntsman Cancer Foundation's sole purpose is to fund the mission of Huntsman Cancer Institute: to understand cancer from its beginnings, to use that knowledge in the creation and improvement of cancer treatments, to relieve the suffering of cancer patients, and to provide education about cancer risk, prevention, and care.

My friend works for a diamond company that donated to this event, so she got a table, and that is how I got to go . The theme was "Hope on the Range," cowboy themed held at the Grand America Hotel. It was so fun. There were people there that I never thought I would meet. People were donating left and right. It was amazing to see. I think they raised in one night over $500,000. There were 2 auctions. One a silent one and the other with a real auctioneer. You know, talking all fast. That was pretty cool to see. I met some great people. I met Elder Ballard, and Elder Scott. It was neat to see them in a normal setting and helping out with this cause. Here are so pics from the night.




Yes, we got to take the sweet center pieces home.




This was the Auctioneer. I couldn't even understand him when he did his thing...





What is a cowboy theme without Rodeo Queens? The thing I found amazing about them is they were sporting all leather. Yes their entire dresses were made out of real leather. Can we say hot and sticky.





We make such cute cowgirls.

Back To School

Tomorrow is my first day back to school. I'm excited to get back into it. I have two semesters left and I am finally done. This semester I talking a lot of classes, but the ones I'm most excited about is my hat making class and my costuming class. It will be like Project Runway style. We will have to create amazing things out of whatever our teacher gives us. We will also learn how to reconstruct already made clothes. The best part, we will be designer costumes for a dance company in Salt Lake. Fun stuff!!

Oh ,wanted to give a shout out to Project Runway for FINALLY coming back on TV. Its on lifetime,Thursday nights. I Love this show.

The Sweetest Find

So Garrett has a favorite gas station where he loves buying his browns. Every time we go we past by this place called, Beyond Glaze. I have always wanted to go in and today we did. Oh my gosh. This place has the best donuts I have ever tasted. All I can say is WOW. We got a ton to try. Her are some to show you. Every donut starts as a glazed donut and then Beyond Glazed adds the toppings to it. In the picture there is a cherry chocolate, key lime pie, cookies and cream, and s'mores.

The Joy of Running

Liz's post a couple days ago inspired me to think about what I'm grateful. She made a list but I'm just going to say the ability to run. I love running. If any of you have seen the movie, "What Women Want," that is completely how I feel about it. It is away get away from everything. No one can contact you, you are just listening to whatever music you want as loud as you want. I live by a river and I run on it almost every day. I can't even tell you how peaceful it is and how much it clears my head or just makes me feel good. You are getting skinnier, you are outside in good weather, and when you get home you feel like you can do anything that comes your way that day.

I'm not excited for the winter months ahead, because I am to much of a baby to run in the snow. So its inside treadmill time again.

I am truly grateful that I can run.

Newport

What more could I have asked for last week? The entire Fuller clan went down to Newport for our annual Newport Beach Week. It was a blast. We ate, shopped, laid out, buggy boarded, body surfed, kayaked, and so much more. Here is a little recap.


What is a reunion without matching shirts??

Cute little Brookie

Thanks Mom and Dad for the Alaska gifts!

Our first day in Newport I was so excited to get down to the beach but Garrett was still so tired from driving until 3 am the night before. So I tried to make it difficult for him to fall back asleep. :-)
Crystal Cove is turning into my favorite beach. The shake shack is good.

Carrie and I with Maycee and Berlin.

We ventured back to our old home, Huntington Beach. I miss living there. It is so pretty.

One day we went down to Dana Point. It was more of a cove so you can rent Kayaks and things. we had so much fun. The waves were a little challenging to get through.

Our last night all the adults went out. We went out to Balboa and ate at this restaurant that overlooked the ocean. It was so pretty.

I loved last week. Now we are back, Garrett already flew out for the week and its back to reality for me. Till next year.

Sad Day

Well it was a sad day for me today. Brad and Jaime and there girls are moving back down to AZ. Brad has gotten into a Law School down in Phoenix. I'm really sad to see them go. I loved being so close and seeing them and their family on weekly bases. Thanks for always helping me when I was lonely while Garrett was gone. I don't know how I could of gotten through those first couple months without you guys. I love you, and will miss you so much.




I wanted to give Jaime a break so Brad and her could get some things done. I took Abbie and Lillie to this sweet river pond/splash pad thing. It was so fun. Then we met up with Scott and McCall and swam at their pool. Fun Summer day in the sun!

"T" for Ting Tings. Anytime the girls drive in my car they always want to listen to the Ting Tings. Their favorite song is "Thats not my name."

Them dancing...

Tonight we all went to Olive Garden as one last night together. Lucy spilt soda on her shirt so Brad gave her a napkin and this is was happened. She is bigger than me.

I'll miss you guys. Can't wait to visist you at Nana's!!!

Girls Weekend

As you could tell from my last post Rachel and Parker came to visit me this past weekend. It was perfect timing because Garrett was out traveling for work so we had a little girls weekend.

Our First night I took Rachel to mine a Garrett's favorite Mexican restaurant. Its called La Costa. If you live in Utah you have to try this place. Its in Sandy. Oh my gosh its the best!! We actually hit this up twice it was so good. :-)

Next day we went down to SL to eat and show up at the, "So you think you can dance" try outs. No we did not try out, we just hung around hoping to see something cool. And we did...

ITS RANDI!!!!!

Yes we met Randi and Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn wasn't in our pic. She saw her sister and ran over to see how she did while we were posing with Randi.

So later that day we went to Gateway to walk around. Do our headbands look familiar? We went into Forever and saw the same headband Randi was wearing. So we both bought one. I know we are big dorks!!!

We also went on lots of walks. This picture is in my dream neighborhood, Daybreak. It is gorgeous. Parker was sucha trooper through anything we did. Can I just say, Parker is the best baby I have ever met. He never cried. He would go down for bed like 8 or 9 ish, and wake up at 8:30. He was such a little dream baby.

Who could say no to that face? Look how cute he is.

We walked around Temple square. It was so pretty with all the flowers. I really have only gone when the Christmas lights are up. So it was so nice walking around and not being ice cold.

Duke is a little lover. Any chance he got he would lick Parker's face.

We had such a fun time. Thanks Rachel and Parker for coming and visiting me. I love you both.

I Love Visitors

Yay, Rachel and Parker are here. They flew in last night and are spending the rest of the week with me. Here is us posing on our first day of kindergarten. Weren't we so cute...
