Sooooooo...July has been amazingly busy! It has been a good busy though, and full of lots of fun.
Kale and I went to Thunder in the Valley in the Crowsnest Pass a couple weekends ago. I'll post pictures when I'm feeling up to it! It was a lot of fun. It gave us a good oppurtunity to hang out with a few members of Kale's family, and meet my new niece Pacey. We also invited our awesome friends Lindsey and Paige Collette. We always have fun when we are with them. Kale taught Lindsey how to ride, a quad and now he is dead set that he is buying one! We are grateful for Ruth and Tom, they let us camp in their yard and we had a lot of fun!
One day after returning home, I set out for Stake Girls Camp. It really was a blast! It was a little bit different being pregnant though. The outhouses really reeked...by the last day you could smell them from quite far away! *EWW* I think the girls had tonnes of fun! They decided to mix up the tents this year and not camp in wards. I think that it was a fantastic idea. I've never seen so many girls with so many new friends! It was fantastic.
On the pregnancy front, I am rapidly growing bigger. Haha, even at camp the girls could notice a difference from one day to the next. My favorite pair of jeans are becoming much tighter and will have to be packed away quite soon. Lor and my mom were laughing at me while I was trying to put them on one day. Apparently it's quite humorous to watch me grow out of my clothes. I am starting to love it more and more though. I don't mind getting bigger, and I really like my little belly.
Anyways, that is just a little update for the month of July. We find out what baby is next month and I'm SO excited to know. I heard the heartbeat at my last appointment and it was at 150. It was really fast! Everyone I know is having a boy so someone has to balance it out and have a girl right :) Haha, I can't wait to find out!!

Kale and I went down to Kalispell on Thursday to pick up the crib and dresser for the baby's room! We had a really good time together. Kalispell doesn't have much for shopping but we did stop by Target and they had some really cute maternity clothing and they also have a really nice Costco there to.
So then on Friday we decided that we should put it all together. We had to open it to make sure there were no huge gashes in the wood so once it was open there was no point in leaving it unassembled...haha. I do realize that this baby won't be here until December but we are REALLY excited :) Here are a few photos of us putting it all together and the finished product! The ones of just the furniture are a little dull and didn't come out great but the ones with the flash looked even worse :) Haha, enjoy!
Kale putting the screws into the dresser.
Me, vacuuming out the dust.
Very excited!!
A fuzzy picture of dresser.
I just couldn't get a not fuzzy one.
The crib!!
The crib, with the front rail folded down.
So, thats our furniture. After we set it up I was looking at it again on the internet and saw that it was now on sale! The crib was 50 dollars off and the dresser was 90 dollars off the original sale price! I was kind of upset but then my mom suggested that we call JC Penney and see if they would adjust the price they charged us to the sale price and they did!! YAY!! I couldn't have been more excited! So we decided to go ahead and buy the changing table that matched everything else since we got credited that 140 dollars.
I'm so excited to find out what the baby is so we can paint the room and get some gender specific things and make the nursery perfect :)

I had a great birthday today! It was fairly relaxed and it was very nice outside. I have no pictures because Kale's isn't the type to take pictures. I'm the picture taker in the family, therefore there are not as many pictures of me at any given occasion :)
I went out for lunch today with my family and we went to the restaurant at the golf course. It was beautiful! I've never been there before. It was so hot out that it was great to just sit in the sun and eat and chat. My mom cooked me a birthday dinner with my FAVORITE veggie marinated salad. Mmm, it was very good. I got some really nice gifts from my family, and my husband. I'm blessed to have people around me that care about me so much! Thanks guys :)
Not much else going on here this long weekend! It's supposed to be SO hot so I think maybe we might go to the beach once or twice :D I love the beach!
I can't believe its already the end of June. I'm really looking forward to July. Kale and I are going to the Stampede and to Thunder in the Valley. We also have Stake Girls Camp at the end of July and I'm really excited for that. It's my first time going as a leader so it will be a new experience.
Anyways, that is all of today's random thoughts....haha!

Kelsey's engaged! Nate proposed to her in Hawaii and they are getting married on October 3, 2008. Were all really excited, and excited to be planning another wedding. They are getting married in the Salt Lake City temple. I can't wait, it's going to be great!
I went to the Doctor yesterday, and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was really cool. I wish Kale could have been there. He didn't come because I thought that I was just being physically checked over. You could hear my heartbeat which was slow and then the baby's heartbeat which was so fast and then my stomach growled and it was really loud in the microphone...haha whoops! I suppose next time I should eat before I go. It made it really real for me. It's nice to hear that everything is okay and that the pregnancy is going well. Sometimes inbetween the doctors appointments and the ultrasounds I wonder if everything is going okay and hoping that it is. I can' wait until I can start to feel the baby move around. Then I can know that things are okay without having the doctor have to tell me!
I'm starting to get a little bit of a belly. I kind of like it! I don't feel fat or anything just pregnant. It's only my belly thats growing. Everything else is pretty much the same. Well almost everything haha...:) I'll post pictures as soon as I take some. Which should be soon since i'm starting to show! I ordered some maternity clothing from Shade clothing online, just a few basic t-shirts and Cami's to give me something to wear in case one day I just grow out of my clothes. Theres not much maternity shopping around Cranbrook so I thought i'd better get some basics until I can go somewhere else and do a little shopping :)

Hi! Thanks for coming to our blog. I think this will mostly be my (Kendra's) blog but whatever is going on with me is also going on with Kale, so his name is on here to! When my cousin Mindy started her blog a few weeks ago she tried to recruit many of us to join her in the blogging world. It's a nice way to let everyone close to you see what's going on. Now that everyone is grown up, getting married, having babies, and living all over the place it's a great way to see what is going on in every ones life. I must say, so far I'm addicted to making my blog "pretty"... ha ha! I think thats the design part of me coming out :)
Soooo ... here's the low down on our life as of now!
Kale and I are living in Cranbrook, B.C. and we really like it. It's beautiful here, and the people are really nice. I think I really am a big city girl but being able to get around town in under 5 minutes is also really great. We've been married for just over a year, and we're expecting our first baby in December and are so excited!
I'm currently just starting my 2nd trimester and couldn't be happier about that. It's been a long 6 weeks, that's for
sure. I've been pretty sick but it's starting to go away for the most part. I still feel sick occasionally but it's not near as frequent! I'm starting to actually look pregnant and can't wait to have a little belly....or a big belly for that matter :)
Anyways, thats all for now but i'll be updating my blog every time there's something to update!
Thanks for reading!
