Sorry still no pictures... but it's time for another update. So August has been a busy month.. i think the first weekend in August was the only weekend i've actually had some R and R time. One weekend we did our Ward camp out which was fun. It was funny to see which women in the ward liked camping and which ones didn't and the one's that compromised with their husbands by getting a camper trailer! At the Ward camp out.. Cory got a new calling: 2nd counselor in the Young Men's Presidency. we are both excited for his new calling.
After that, i spent almost a whole week in Orlando Florida... Before you all get so jealous.. I saw the airport, the hotel and the Convention Center that I worked in all week long for Melaleuca. It was a lot of work but it was fun. But i have to say it's nice to be home.
After working hard in Florida I went back to work and worked hard. Cory had a week off from work and so i took Friday off and we went to the Sayre Cabin in Island Park. Cory did some Fly Fishing with his brothers, and we walked around West Yellowstone and grabbed some ice cream, and then Cory's Brother made a great Dutch Oven roast, and dessert! We then had to leave, because Saturday morning Cory had his first responsibility with his new calling. we both helped out Saturday morning with the youth doing baptisms at the Idaho Falls Temple. It was so much fun! Later that same day we did our first MelaMasters Golf Tournament. It was a blast. We had golf carts, did 18 holes, had all you can have drinks and junk food, it was great. We even won a few prizes. They had a competition and Cory was a contender in the putting contest but got out beat at the end. on the second to last hol i won the longest putt, and won a gift card (7 feet 2 inches, was my put). It was the perfect most fun date in a long time that i've had with my husband! Te next day, we were slackers and instead of going to church drove to Utah to pick up my crib from my friend finally, and drive back all in once day.
So far that has been my busy August Month and it's not over yet! Tomorrow i go back to working hard at Melaleuca, have a baby appointment, Wednesday is Cory's Birthday (got to still wrap presents, make a cake, and clean house), oh and i am now an assistant coach for a Jr. High soccer girls team, and we have soccer practice four days out of the week plus two soccer games a week, and then this weekend the Sayre's are all going to Boise to visit Cory's grandparents for a couple of days!
August has been fun, but i can' wait for September and i hope it starts to slow down!

I'm a slacker
Sorry I haven't added a new post in forever.. but i do have a good excuse. The iphoto is not working on our computer so i can't load new pictures and i can't crop any pictures.. and i hate posting news without pictures... but here it goes anyway.... things to update:
Cory's dad did our ultrasound at week 16 and he said "I'll bet my next paycheck that it's a little girl".
Last weekend we went crazy and decided to do a weeks worth of stuff in two days- Cory bought a paint sprayer and stained the fence, and we painted our living room (FINALLY) and did an accent wall. Everyone really should come over. It use to be a light sage (but looked more light lime) but now it's a khaki color with a yellowish hue, and the accent wall is a medium brown. I promise it looks great and its way more refreshing to sit in the room.
Wed. Cory and i went in to see Dr. Oldroyd for our week 19 apt and they did an ultrasound. He says he's 90- 95% sure that we are having a girl. Good enough for me! two out of two ultrasounds showing a little girl.. So now we have to plan on drama and a cute little girl name, and finish buying baby stuff.
I believe that is all the updates. Again sorry this post is so lame and without photos. Hopefully i will be able to post some soon!

Week 16 check up!
Sorry no pictures. This was another routine check up... but I have a funny story to tell. So at Dr. Oldroyd's they make you bring in your own urine sample each time to come. Well last time I peed in the cup after breakfast, and apparently you are supposed to pee first thing in the morning before you eat; so you it doesn't mess up the blood sugar levels. I felt bad, so this time I was determined to do it right. Well the night before I put the urine cup on top of the toilet so that I wouldn't forget when I woke up. Well it worked... I woke up and I peed in the cup! I was so proud of myself. Well I had to get to work early , so I grabbed my cup of urine threw it in a purse, and went out the door. I got to work, and I was excitd to get a great parking spot; but then..... I grabbed my purse and it was soaking wet. The whole passengar seat was wet. I opened my purse up and yup, the lid to the cup was off and the te cup was empty. I HAD URINE ALL OVER MY SEAT! well... I had to re-fill it up, so i grabbed the purse and the cup and brought it to work. I drank a ton of water and re-filled it at work... Yea talk about embarrassing.
Needless to say, I had a successful urine sample to take to the doctor's office, but it was still post east breakfast. But everything checked out. They weighed me, and the nurse was proud of me because I'm finally starting to gain weight. I gained a wopping 4 lbs-- though I feel like I've gained much more. It took the doctor awhile to find the heart neat this time; probably because my blatter was still full from me dowing the water earler. But he found it.. 142 beats per minute. We are excited each time we hear good news. The doctor even pushed up my date to July 29th for our official ultrasound. He doesn't know that I am having my Father-in-Law give me one this weekened so I can maybe tell what we are having earlier. Wish us luck!

Carroll Family Reunion
Cory and I got almost a whole week off from work where we got to see not only my family, but a ton of cousins, and aunts and uncles and my grandparents from the Carroll side. It was so much fun. We bought a book on CD to help with the long 8 hour drive to the Heaton Ranch in Southern Utah. Once we got there, we went camping, played at some red sand dunes, went on a hike, did some spelunking (don't know the spelling), visited a graveyard with some family tombstones, went bowling, took tons of pictures, saw transformers, did some shopping, and went to a wedding reception. So needless to say it was a very busy week. I will have to say, that even though we did tons and tons of fun activities, it was just so nice to just be with my family. I didn't realize how much I miss my brother's famiy in Washington state. I met my nephew for the first time (he's 6 months) and got to see my niece for the second time ever (She's 2 1/2). It makes me want to go and visit my side more often. we went, we conquered, and now we are back to the work life!
