ECLIPSE

Girls night out. We went and saw eclipse a couple nights ago. It was really good. Probably the best one yet. They must get more money each time because each movie gets better and better. A lot of action. I even think Garrett would enjoy it. Maybe not...

We ate at Zupas before we went. Yummy.

This is us after the movie. It was a sea of women exiting the theater. Look how happy we all are.

Diners, Drive-ins & Dives

Garrett and I have been really getting into the food network this summer. I watch that and Natgeo all the time. Anyways we have become a huge fan of this reality show. This guy whose name happens to be Guy Fieri, travels all around and finds these hole in the wall restaurants and does an entire segment on them to show why they are so good. Some of these places look amazing but, located in the most random places. We searched and found the places in Utah where he has been. Going out to dinner is so fun, but going out to dinner with a purpose and see how truly amazing it could be is even more fun. Its always fun to try new things. Here is the list for all the people in Utah:

1. Lone Star Taqueria: Holladay
2. Moochie Meatballs: Salt Lake
3. Pats BBQ: Salt Lake
4. Ruth's Diner: Salt Lake

There isn't a ton in Utah but that's enough to keep us busy for awhile.

So, our first place we went to was Lone Star. Their fish tacos were amazing. The restaurant atmosphere was so fun. People were drinking out of shoes well actually boots. The salsa, homemade chips, and guacamole were so good too. I highly recommend this place and I know I will be going back real soon.




If anyone knows any other restaurants that I need to try out here in Utah just let me know. Also, I found this website that has a list of all the places he has been. Click Here to go to it.

latest project

i just finished a project that i have needed to do. So the place where we moved into was perfect, except in the master bedroom they painted a wall bright RED. The problem is my bedding is green. So it would make my room look like Christmas all year long. I wasn't that into that idea so I decided to switch it up a bit. I have a slip cover thing for my headboard, with a matching bed skirt. So I decided to make a new slip cover, get a different bed skirt, and make a few pillows to make it all come together. This was really fun. I have really only sewn clothes over and over so making house decorations was a new and exciting thing for me. Here is how it turned out. . .

Summer Fun

well, our summer has started out with a bang. This past week and weekend was so much fun. we had Shalayne and Clayton visit us, we threw a birthday party/going away party for one of my best est friends, and celebrated Father's day with more family and friends. Scott and McCall came over and we had a Father's Day dinner. we had such a fun and exciting weekend. Wes was a champ through the whole thing. He even dropped one of his feedings at night. I'm loving life now. I only have to wake up once a night now. Whoo Hoo!!!

Here are some pics:

I love these little girls!

Here is Shealee and her hubby Juan. They are leaving us and moving down to St. George. I'm so sad. At least we travel through a lot when heading down to AZ, or to Cali. We will miss you guys!!!

Wes, discovered the little bugs above him at the party on his bouncer. He has never cared about them before. He was so happy and excited that he could see the them.

The party was so fun. I wish now I had more pictures of it. Oh well.

Wesley got to meet Shalayne and Clayton. Thanks for staying with us guys. we will take you anytime. :)

Here is a picture of all my boys. Duke is so funny with the baby. He has to be a close as possible to Wes at all times. Its so cute.

I'm feeling kinda left out...

So I just found out today that Stephanie Meyer has a new book out, The Short Life of Bree Tanner. I had no clue. Has anyone read it yet? I read some reviews and they were all mixed. I really don't even remember this Bree character, but was excited that she wrote something new. Just curious what you all thought t about it.

Fashionista

Wes went to his first fashion show last night. Our niece Morgan, got to be in Alyssa's Bridal Prom 2010 fashion show. She got to be part of a fashion camp for Alyssa's and part of it is being in several fashion shows between Utah and Vegas to help show off their new line of prom dresses. (Can we just say genius marketing for Alyssa's!) Morgan did such a fabulous job strutting her stuff on the catwalk. We are so proud of you Morgan.



Here is Morgan working it...






This is what he did the entire fashion show. I was nervous the music was to loud but I guess not.

Wesley's Nursey

Alright here is the finished product. I finally got to set up his nursery. Yay!! This was the first thing we did as soon as we got into our new place. Hopefully, these pictures will clear the air. When I describe what his room is I say, "I used oranges, tans, browns, and he has owls all over the place." The response I get is, "oh, so are you doing like a Hooters Themed room?" Here is the finished product of what I have been trying to describe:






This was the inspiration for it all. I forgot to take a picture of it before I did this post, and now Wes is asleep.

I found this dresser at DI. Such a great find after you refinish it!

Auntie Liz gave this to Wes. Cutiest night light ever! Thanks Liz.

Like Father Like Son

The other day I walked into our room and found Garrett like this...



Browse down to a few posts ago. and Wes is in the same position just on the ottoman. My boys are so cute. I love them!!!!!!

My first bath

This happened awhile ago but just got the pictures of the huge event for Wesley. Just kiding its just a bath but he hated it! He still hates getting them but doesn't cry so hard now. Maybe someday he will love them.

On to week 3

I have been a little busy with my new little guy to even think about my blog. He is such a good baby. I am so lucky. He has been sleeping at night about 3 to 4 hours, and with the help of Garrett I even get about a 6 hour stretch in there. I feel great and am loving being a mom. Here are some pictures we have taken of him recently.


He fell asleep like this. Newborns are so sleepy

Duke always tries to sit as close as possible to Wes

This week is going to be a little overwhelming. We are moving this coming Monday. I have been so stressed about this move. I have been trying to get my house in order but haven't really had any time or the energy to pack and organize. So i just worry about it instead. This past weekend Garrett and I did a lot. With his fabulous parents and sister with her kids coming, and having Scott and McCall here, I think we can pack up my house. I don't know what I would do if they weren't going to be here. Were staying in South Jordan so it isn't to far of a move. I'm so excited though. I have never set up a nursery for Wesley, which has been killing me inside. I can finally see all the fun stuff I got for his room all set up , and he wont be in our office in a bassinet anymore. I have been kinda obsessed with ksl while I was prego. I would always go on there look for deals on sweet pieces of furniture. I have a little collection of stuff i have gotten just sitting in my garage. i can;t wait to see it all in my house. Well, that is what has been going on around here. I will post pics of our new place as soon as I can. ;)

Wesley Wayne Fuller

Her is our sweet little boy. He was born 5-5-10 at 2:54 am. He is a Cinco De Maya baby (which is our Anniversary as well. 3 years! not planned to fall on that date) He weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 21 in. long. It was a pretty long couple days of labor. I went in Monday night to get everything started due to lack of response of my body. Then Tuesday, they started to Induce me. They broke my water and had pitocin going through me since about 3 am. I wasn't progressing at all really, so we were talking about maybe ending in a c-section. This was about 12noon. Well, 8 hours later I started responding, finally, and then a couple hours after that I got to start pushing. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours until this little beautiful boy was in my arms. Thankfully I was all for an epidural. I would have died being in labor for that long. Now looking back it wasn't really that bad. Seeing my little boy is the most priceless thing. I get teary eyed just thinking about him and realizing and how blessed Garrett and I are to have him in our family. I love him so much and can't wait to see where life takes us. Thank you to all our friends and family who have helped out. I have loved all your emails, text, and calls. We love you.

40 Weeks

Well if any has noticed my counter says, "Go Time!!" Ummm where is the baby, I'm due? Good news is I get induced on Tuesday so at least I know the end is near.
Garrett's parents came in yesterday so they have been hanging out with us. We went to the tulip festival today. Hoping walking around would make my body do something, but it didn't help. I did walk around all the gardens for 2 hours. Big accomplishment for me. I am dead tired now. I'm just sitting here and waiting for this baby to come out. I can't wait to see him and see what he looks like. Tonight Garrett was putting together all his fun toys. We set up his cute swing, bouncer chair, and making sure everything is ready around our house. I'm excited and am getting pretty impatient.

9 Months

I say to people that I am 9 months and they freak out like I'm going to pop any day. No, I am 36 weeks, well actually a day away from being 37 weeks. I can't believe I only have 3 weeks to go. I was looking at my little counter on my blog and can't believe my days are in the low 20's. That's just so crazy!!!!

Utah Shower

I just wanted to give a huge Thank You to my friend Jolynn who threw me a shower in Utah, and to all who came and supported me. That really meant a lot to me. Here are some pictures.



I scanned this in. She made all these. So crafty...

This little one was the life of the party. She was the only kid and she was lovin' it!!

Sorry my camera didn't take that great of pictures. I have been messing with the settings in my portfolio class and can't get it back to normal.
