Clint's obsession

So I wish more was going on with me so I could post more often! I am just BORING! I was looking through Clint's pictures because I am using his laptop and found these fishing pics from over Memorial Day. He went to the Boulder Mountains with his Dad and step brother, Bryan. The tour guides took tons of pictures, but I have yet to see any. They saw a few bears on the first night! I would have freaked out, but they all seemed to think it was pretty cool. Clint has told me that no one ever comments on his fish pictures I post. I think it's funny! I have to remind him blogging is a world for wives and girlfriends and moms - None of which care about fish. As mentioned before I am way too boring to have anything new to post about, so you all get stuck with the fish. Is there ever a shortage of fish pictures in the Romney household? Never. Anyway, here they are. :) 

Flowers

We have a bunch of lilies in our backyard and they are so pretty! I meant to post about our tulips we had a month ago, but I never got around to it. There are a few pictures of roses we have too, but I had just trimmed them down. There were a few still nice and pretty that I got a picture of. 

 

Clint hates taking pictures, but he was nice enough to snap this one really quick in the middle of some soccer game he was watching.

Mom Time!

My mom came out for the weekend and it was so much fun! We went shopping in Park City, and pretty much ran around all over town! Kelli, Kaylan, me and my mom all had a blast. I was so sad to see her go this afternoon. Thank you so much mom for coming out! 

 

Kelli and Me

 

Mom and Kaylan. Kaylan was soo tired after a long afternoon of shopping. :)

 

I got to ride in the back with Kaylan most of the time, so I took some pictures.  

As soon as she saw the camera, she stopped smiling and tried to eat the camera! I managed to get a few smiles.

My 4th weekend

Clint was out fishing and Aaron was away at Advanced Training, and so Kelli and I hung out all weekend long! I stayed at her place Thursday night, and Kaylan crawled for the firt time! It makes me want to have this kid soo bad hanging out with Kaylan so much. Kelli has a video on her blog of the crawling action. It was so much fun to see! We went to a breakfast Friday morning at my Grandma and Grandpa K's and then later had lunch with Grandma and Grandpa B. Then Friday and Saturday night Kelli and Kaylan stayed at my house. Cute little Kaylan was the first to test out my new crib! It was so much fun just hanging out! Kaylan is the perfect little baby, always smiling and laughing. I was terrible at taking picures, but here are a few from Clint's fishing excursion to the Bicknell/Boulder Mountain area. He had a really great time as well. 

 

This meadow is sooo pretty!!

 

This one measured exactly 20 inches. This was the biggest one he caught.  

He said he almost stepped right on this baby deer while hiking somewhere. It's so cute!

Anniversary Dinner

Last night we were going to go to this nice restaurant Clint picked out. We showed up only to find it was out of business. Instead there was this new Japanese/Sushi place. The just about 5 month pregnant grouch that I have turned into these days was not very happy. For one, I was starving to death. And second, I was not in the mood for Japanese food! Oh and I just thought of a third, sushi is not for pregos! Poor Clint. It was getting late and I was so hungry I just said, "Forget it. This will be fine." The food ended up being really good! After a few bites of Clint's soup & salad in my belly I was very pleasant to be around again. We had a fun time! To Clint: Sorry I was grumpy, but it's really not my fault. :) I love you!

Softball

So Clint is on a Murray City softball league with a few friends. It is pretty fun to go and watch. When I say watch, I really mean sit and talk with Kelli and all the other girlfriends/wives. :)It's pretty sad when one of them has to say, "Clint just made an awesome play you should cheer!" My friend Nicole took these pics and sent them over to me. Thanks! There is another pic with more of the girls, but I look horrible in it. So it won't be making it's way on here. Baby Kaylan is soooooooooooooo cute. Love that baby.

How time flies...

Clint and I will be having our 3 year wedding anniversary on Wednesday, and I can't even believe it! When we met 4 years ago seems like just yesterday. Clint and his 5 room mates were standing in the hall of the singles ward one Sunday when I heard, Hey Lori Bolingbroke! They spotted me from the ward menu. (the ward directory with pics and phone numbers, hence the menu.) All of them were oh so cool and not shy in the flirting department. I thought it was pretty weird they new my name and I had never even seen them before. I had heard about these "dish boys" selling for the summer. I noticed in the very back of the group, quiet as a mouse, was Clint. One of his friends said, oh this is Clint. He caught my eye right away. We talked a few times, and one night we were at the same party. We sat and talked for about an hour until my date came and said I had to go. (I know I know.) Clint ended up getting my number and waiting 2 weeks to call me! He denies this, but it is the truth. I was on a date when he called, and I ran off to the bathroom and talked to him for 20 minutes. I was so happy he called me!!I told the guy I had to go, and went to hang out with Clint. We went bowling and it was so much fun! It is soo hilarious to me that Clint used to be so shy around me! He is so not shy! It is all just kinda history from there. There was not one day for the rest of that summer we didn't see each other. After summer was over he went off to Califoria, then Wyoming.. and after 9 months of long distance crap we got married! Oh I am so glad I met him! Now we are having a kid and everything. Crazy. :)

 

Our first picture ever taken together on Clint's phone.

 

YAYAYAYAY!

 

My U/S was this morning, and it was amazing! That little baby was moving all around. Clint got to hear the heart beat for the first time, and we got to see pretty much every little part of our baby! I can't even believe I have something alive inside of me. He was covering up his stuff, but the tech was able to get a good shot after a few tries and it is for sure a boy! She said she was just about 100% sure, even though she normally does not give percentages. I am sooo happy!!!! AHHHHH!!!! Clint already refers to him as his "lil fishin' buddy." We ate lunch together right after my appointment and Clint was deep in thought. I asked him what he was thinking about, and he said.... Fishing with the little guy! So cute. I think I am more excited than Clint though!

Zion National Park

Clint and I went to St. George to hang out with his family and we had such a fun time! We were gone for a whole week! We hung out by the pool, went shopping, ate tons of food, went to Zion National Park, and Clint and his step brother and dad went fishing! What a fun time. Fishing pictures will be coming hopefully soon. They caught some pretty cool fish. Here are just a few from Zion. I was horrible at taking pics the entire trip, and so my sister in law, Abbey, sent me these. Thanks Abbey!

 

Me, Clint, Abbey, Bryan, and Ayla. I am 4 months pregnant here, and Abbey is 7 months. Yay for babies!

Just for fun

My baby poll has been severely tampered with thanks to Clint, Clint's brother Reuben, and someone else I have no idea about. This is ruining all my fun! I still have a few weeks before I can find out for sure, but I am dying to know what the baby will be. I have done the wedding ring swinging strand of hair or whatever, and that says Girl. I have done the baby chinese prediction calendar and it says girl. The heart rate was 168 at 11 weeks and 155 at 13 weeks, and supposedly that is girl. Clint is dying to have a boy so that makes me think girl. Does anyone else have any other myths I could try? I know they are not accurate, but I still will try! All of you moms out there, look at this chinese calendar thingy and tell me if it was accurate for you! I'm just curious. :)

Did I marry an idiot???

This is my conversation with Clint last night.  

Me: Clint, I checked the poll from the blog today and it says that like over 70 people voted! What the heck? And it's mostly for a boy! I don't even have 70 blogging friends?  

Clint: Oh wow, that is crazy.  

Me: I know! I mean I think I have some blog stalkers, but why would they vote?  

Clint: Hmm, Weird.  

Me: I am linked up on facebook and myspace, so maybe I have friends checking it from there that I don't know about, or maybe people voted twice? I have no idea. 

Clint: (Huge smile) 

Me: What?  

Clint: Babe, I voted for a boy like 50 times and I was waiting for you to say something! (He was totally amused with himself.)  

Me: That isn't even funny. Why would you do that. 

Clint: Oh come on, It's funny!  

 Me: No it's not. Seriously. How Did you even have time to vote 50 times? Why would you want to do that? What is the point of a poll anyways?  

Clint: It took me like 2 seconds. Oh babe, it's funny.

Baby!

So I went in today for an appointment, and all is going great. We find out what the sex will be at my next appointment! Clint hopes it will be a boy, go figure, and I am undecided. I have always said I wanted a boy first, but now I don't think I care. Anyways, I made a poll so I can see what everyone thinks it will be! It's on the right hand side, right under the baby ticker.

Random pictures

This is me and my cute nephew, Drextin.

 

This is the crew hanging out at a Bee's game over the weekend in the luxury suite! It was very nice. :)

Woohoo!!!

We're having a baby! My Due date is November 16th. I feel great, not even different hardly at all. It's hard to even believe, really. We are so happy though!

It happened

 

I am not much of a reader. When I do get reading a good book, It's alright. Not my favorite past time by any means. I hadn't read anything since 2002, the year I graduated! 6 years ago! I would rather do so many things besides sit and read. That said........ My mother in law, Bonnie, was the first to tell me about this crazy vampire book. She would go on about some beautiful vampire, Edward. It made me laugh at how funny she can be sometimes. She told me I had to read it. I didn't really put much thought into it from there. A few months ago, we went to St. George to buy a car. We stayed with my in laws. Ron was reading twilight by the pool one morning! He said he just had to see what this Bonnie talk was all about. I thought hmmmm. Interesting. So after that I heard from quite a few different people about this amazing series. Still, not much thought from me. Tuesday of this week, my visiting teacher came over. She has been telling me I have got to read this series, along with the others. This time, she just brought it over for me to read. I thanked her, and told her I would read it. That night, Clint was watching some play off game, so I decided I would do as I said and start reading. I read 2 chapters, and decided I was pretty tired and headed to bed. It seemed like it was an alright book. I didn't read any more on Wednesday. Clint and I had a busy day, and there was no time to read. I was too tired by the time I went to bed at 10 to even think about reading. Thursday after work, I started reading again. I didn't realize the time, but around 10:00 I realized I was almost halfway through! It's over 500 pages! This was not normal for me. It used to take me ages to finish a book, back when I used to read them. I kept reading until midnight!!!! I was going to bring the book with me to work Friday, hoping it would be slow so I could keep reading. I forgot to bring it, and couldn't wait to start when I got home. I read again last night until midnight! I could barely keep my eyes open, and decided I better sleep. I woke up this morning at 8:30 thinking about the book. I can sleep in. I usually always sleep in on the weekends. I am talking like 11-12ish! Why was I up at 8:30??? Not important, I figured I am up I might as well read. So I finished the book this morning. The whole book in 4 sittings?? What is wrong with me! It is sooooo good! Everyone has to read this book! It's all I can do not to call my visiting teacher right now and return this book so I can get the next one and start right now! What has come over me?

UPDATE

So that weird looking thing below is a white lined sphinx hummingbird moth. I emailed an expert! In case anyone cares. :)

Hummingbird, Butterfly, or Moth??

Clint was watering the yard, when I noticed this little insect looking thing on the flowers! Before I knew it, there were 3 of them flying around. I had to get some pictures, because they looked so cute! I have never seen such a thing. I meant to google what it was, but haven't had the time. Check them out!

Clint's hard work

So my wonderful husband, Clint, did some yard work! He worked very hard to brick around the front of the house, trim down the roses, weed, trim down bushes, plant some raspberry starts (THANK YOU GRANDMA!), plant some more flower bulbs, and rip out dead bushes! Unfortunately, we lost a few bushes last year when we were not allowed to use any water for a month! We still need to find some more bushes to planT in their place, but all in all it looks amazing!

I was feeling rather lazy after my last post, and felt the need to prove I am not always this way! We go on TONS of fishing/camping trips and I have tons of pictures as proof! Way too many to post. All of these fish were caught by yours truly. Clint does not like to be slowed down by me, so I even had to learn how to get them off the hooks by myself and everything. I only need him every once in a while. :)

Last Saturday

The weather last Saturday was AMAZING, and so Clint decided he would go fishing. Utah has no places to fish, according to him.. So he drove all the way to the Green River in Wyoming. This is a favorite fishing spot for him, and I realize with warm weather comes many fishing trips. He took a few pictures, including one of a moose! I would die if I ever came that close to a Moose. I was in no mood to wake up at 6:30 in the morning, drive 3 plus hours, and hike in waders in a cold river all day and come home at 11:00 at night. Instead, I stayed at home and did NOTHING. All day, that's right. Nothing. I woke up around 10, watched tv for a few hours.. took a nap. Let's see, around 5 ish I decided I better take Gunner out in the yard and pay fetch. I was embarrased to see everyone in my neighborhood out and about enjoying the lovely day! (Mind you, I had NO makeup on and looked a mess.) My friendly neighbor, Katie, even stopped by to talk for a while. Sorry Katie I looked scary! I was trying not to look her in the eye the whole time. She did inform me that the new gas station down the road has frozen yogurt cones, so I did make a drive to get me one. What a day. Anywho, here are the pictures from Clint.

Anyone else bored??
