Belly Pics

Some people are really anxious to see the progression of my belly. So, with no further adieu, here are some pictures of my belly!

Weekend in Utah

We flew out to Utah over the weekend for Sam's cousin Zac's wedding reception as well as Colby's mission farewell. It was a fun time to spend with family. Here are some of the pictures...
My brother-in-law Jeff loves taking pictures of himself....

Morgan's Graduation Weekend

Ok this is like a month late but who really reads this blog anyway? We had a great weekend in Reno for Morgan's graduation from high school. She is so beautiful and so grown up! I can't believe it! Congratulations, Morgan! We had fun meeting Sarah's new boyfriend, Mike. He is a really nice guy and we all like him! Here are the pictures of the fun weekend!

Crazy Lips

My buddy Shane showed this one to me. Check it ou!

Fire in Our Backyard

When we came home from work yesterday there were about 5 helicopters above our house. One of them was on the ground in the park that we overlook from our balcony. Turns out there was a fire right in our backyard, but it only burned about an acre before it was extinguished.

Say hello to our baby!

Hi everyone! So this is what our baby looks like right now. Sam and I both think it's a boy but we aren't finding out. We had the ultrasound today and it was really cool- the baby kept on touching its face and squirming around. It was kicking it's legs like CRAZY! It's so neat to see that this actually is a little baby-our little baby inside of me. It makes it so much more real to see what it looks like!

Boy or Girl?

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!
