2010 - My belly at 35 weeks pregnant!

Nany's maternity pictures (Avery)

Here are some shots from Avery's maternity pictures. They were done by Wendy from Val Photography. We LOVED how these turned out! :-)

Nany's most embarrassing moment to date.

So here I was, about 7 months pregnant sitting at Church on a beautiful fast and testimony meeting on a Sunday morning. I decided, kind of towards the end of the meeting, to get up and bear my testimony. I went up, bore my testimony and felt great. So as I was coming down from the pulpit - and all of this seemed to happen in slow motion - I hit something with my foot; I could not identify in my head what it was. I soon began to realize that I was falling, and there was nothing I could do! As I was falling sideways, I could sort of see and hear the whole congregation go "AHHHHH!" And I finally hit the floor. It turns out I tripped on the Primary children stool, that the 2nd counselor in the bishopric a.k.a. Zane Hanzon, had "moved" to the side after a Primary girl bore her testimony. So there I was on the floor, terribly confused, terribly embarrassed, and TERRIBLY scared for my baby. The High Council man tried to help me get up (and by then I'm sure I had flashed the entire bishopric), as Zane jumped out of his his seat. But I just wanted to crawl down the stairs. I didn't want to get up, I was too embarrassed! I said something like: Zane, did YOU move that??? I took it so personal! (silly pregnant hormones..) Then, as Zane was helping me down the stairs, I just waved at all 200 eyeballs that were on me, and said something like: I'm OK! (as I thought...and PLEASE stop staring at me with your worried faces!). Zane sat by me for the rest of the meeting, and I just didn't want to look at anyone! Or move! At the end of the meeting, some people came to check on me, and I even had a cute Mexican lady ask me if I had been "overcome by the Spirit" by the end of my testimony, because that is what it had looked like to her. Luckily, after I got home, I laid down and felt the baby move. We called the Dr. the next day, and everything looked good. :) Lesson of the story? Don't bear your testimony when you are pregnant! Just kidding.

Heidi's and Jessy's baby showers!

My cute cousin-in-law Heidi (Zane's cousin) had her baby shower for her baby boy. Her due date was a couple of days after mine, but she ended up being induced because her boy was so big...so we ended up having our babies on the same date!!! Her boy was born in the morning, and Avery in the afternoon. She had her baby shower at one of her sister-in-law's house (Aubree), so she made Heidi this REALLY cute baby blanket. I asked her to teach me how to make it, but instead she decided to MAKE me one and send it in the mail. What a doll!
My cute friend Jessy from Chile had a baby shower for her baby girl that was born around a month and a half before Avery. It was really fun to celebrate her!

Getting even closer!!!

JPMorgan Chase FA barbecue

We attended Zane's Financial Advisors (FA) barbecue at his manager's house in Farmington. It was our first time attending the event, since Zane was the most recent FA (and the youngest btw). It was an opportunity for me (Nany) to meet the advisors I didn't know and the wives. It was such a fun evening!
This is cute Hendrix Parkin. We commuted with them, and he kept making funny faces!
