This is what I look like when I'm pregnant

So it's offical. I'm totally pregnant and it's starting to show! So I'm 18 weeks and due October 25th. We aren't going to find out what we're having- we want to be surprised. We have not thought of any good names! If anyone has names they want to let us use, please let us know! I'm happy that I finally look pregnant and not like I ate too much for lunch.

Brody

Last night I had all the young women over to our house for our weekly activity. It was a lot of fun-especially for little Brody. I don't think I've ever see him play so hard in his whole life! I thought this was a funny picture of him resting between playtime with the girls- with his tongue out!

Jamaican me CRAZY!

There was no way I was going to write a blog about going to Jamaica without writing Jamaican me crazy. I think that's totally hilarious. Anyway, we just returned from Jason and Katrina's wedding in Jamaica. IT WAS AMAZING! We wished that our trip could have been a little bit longer, but we were able to do so many wonderful things on our short 4 day trip. We went sailing, snorkling, swimming in our infinity pool, and kayaking. Here are some pictures of the gorgeous place we stayed, Round Hill...





Ok so this place was obviously rediculously gorgeous. Look at that view from our room! We were so lucky to have been in such a beautiful setting.
Jason and Katrina were married on Saturday in the most beautiful setting looking out to the ocean. It makes us so happy to see two people who are so incredibly perfect for one another! Here are some pictures of the festivities...








We had a great time at the wedding and can't wait to go back to Jamaica again sometime soon!

This girl's got CAKE!

So I'm pretty sure by now that everyone knows that we are going to be parents! The due date is October 25th-I have yet to take pictures of my expanding profile, but once I do, I will post it. If anyone has any good ideas for exciting names that will sound good with our last name, please let us know!
Here's a funny story that I have to share. I drive a couple of my young women home after our activities every week. I love taking them home for two reasons: 1. I love being around them and learning more about them. 2. The conversations we have in the car are hilarious. Here is our conversation from last week....
Christian: "Marielle, I have something to tell you"
Marielle: "Okay..."
Christian: "Ever since you got pregnant, you got cake!"
Marielle: "What do you mean, 'I got cake?'
Christian: "Ya know, junk in the trunk!"
Marielle: "I still don't know what you are telling me!"
Christian: "Girl, you got a ghetto bootie!"
Marielle: "(Outraged) WHAT? A GHETTO BOOTIE! HOW RUDE! I DONT HAVE A GHETTO BOOTIE!"
Christian: "Yes you do. Girl, it's a good thing. Sam is going to want to walk behind you everywhere you go just so he can check out your bootie. He is going to like you so much more now that you got cake!"
Marielle: "Christian, that's not a good thing to have a ghetto bootie."
Christian: "Yes it is! Every girl wants a nice ghetto bootie"
Marielle: "No white girls wants a ghetto bootie. Period!"

So that was our conversation. It actually is pretty funny. These girls tell me exactly what they are thinking. Sam, how do you feel about ghetto bootie? I guess it comes with being pregnant!

Ashley & Kristo's Wedding

I went to Salt Lake City over the weekend to go to my cousin, Ashley's wedding in the Salt Lake Temple. Sam couldn't come so I stayed at his grandma's house with my sister, Janessa. We had a great time together! It is always so much fun to be with the McCombs family-congratulations Ashley & Kristo! You both seem to be perfect for one another!







Here is Janessa looking oh so hot!

Bored at Midnight

I can't believe I stayed up to finish this little experiment, and first video on YouTube. Friends sometimes ask why I don't play the guitar for them. The answer is because I look funny, just look at this video:

Park date with Brody

We love our dog, Brody. He is so hilarious and we always have a lot of fun when we take him to the park. Here are some pictures of our afternoon in the park. P.S. I love my canon camera...amazing.

Film Festival 2007

Tonight we went to a film festival in the city. We had a great time. Some of our favorites are here:




The above won for the best short film, and the below the best comedy. We shared a table with three of the guys who did this film. Very cool guys, and obviously creative. They took home a $3,000 check for this baby.

Happy Easter!

I love Easter. I love having a whole holiday dedicated to to atonement of our Savior and His resurrection. I just love it. We had a great Easter holiday! We dyed easter eggs on Saturday night with Jentri and Shane which was a lot of fun!
On Sunday we had Jeff, Harriet, Levi, Scott, Jentri, Shane, Keith and Ann over for dinner. We missed having Heather! We had a delicious dinner and dessert and we all ate too much but had a great time.
I hope everyone was able to reflect on our Savior's gift to us today. Here are pictures from our fun day!


Sam made some really grotesque eggs that he was very proud of!

Here is our table decorated so nicely for Easter! I love to decorate our table!

The Loving Tree

So I was driving home for lunch today and I saw this awesome tree that someone had decorated with hearts of all shapes and sizes. I thought it was cute so I took some pictures!

Spring is here!

So it seems like it is finally spring! Yesterday was 74 degrees outside and it was gorgeous! I'm so excited for nice weather!

San Diego

So...we went to San Diego last month for a weekend getaway trip and I'm just now posting the pictures. Not like anyone reads our blog except for our parents but whatever! We had a really great time visiting the San Diego zoo, Wild Animal Park, the temple, the beach, the museum of modern aty and lots of other fun places! We rented a car that was a little bigger (but not by much) than a Mini cooper. So what did Sam end up doing while on our trip? Buy a surfboard that just barely fit into our car. We were so smashed in that car and I have no idea how the board fit but we had a fantastic time! Here are some pictures!

Art, Brody, friends and the lovely weather weekend

We had a really great weekend! We bought a piece of art online and it's awesome! I really love it and it looks great on our wall. Shane came over and helped Sam frame it while Jentri and I watched. It was fun! Here they are hard at work...And here they are admiring the new art... We also had time to go sailing in the Bay this weekend. It was gorgeous and we had a lot of fun! I did get smacked in the head with the bar while sailing but I still managed to have a good time. Here are some adorable pictures of Brody. He is so funny!

I love how his eyes are closed on this one!

The weather was spectacular this weekend and we are grateful that the weather has finally warmed up! I'm excited for spring!

Presidents Day in Monterey!

We had a great President's Day weekend with our good friends, Jentri & Shane. It was Jentri's birthday so we all went down to Monterey and had a great weekend getaway! We went scuba diving, to the Monterey Aquarium, Camping and to Pacific Grove. It was a great time and we are grateful that we have friends who like us enough to want to spend an entire weekend with us! I had a great time with my camera and took some pictures that I really love....

Above you can see as Jentri hands over money to some people on the street who talked her into buying interesting bumper stickers that I know she will NEVER put on her car!
