Six Down, Three to Go

I have had a few requests for a "side belly shot" so here you go! Here I am at 24 weeks. This is one of my outfits that I feel the most pregnant in. I have definitely started to pop out a lot more the past couple of weeks. I went to the grocery store yesterday and the cashier asked if I was going to have a girl. That was the first time a stranger has said anything to me about being pregnant! It made me happy. I can't believe how fast time is flying by. I still have a lot to do to get ready!

The Big Day

Today my youngest brother Scott entered the Missionary Training Center! He will be there for about three weeks before he leaves for Auckland. Now all four of us have been missionaries. Way to go Elder Snow! Return with Honor.

God Bless America

Last year we were in Arizona so this was our first 4th of July here in the Bay Area. We didn't really make plans or know what to do. Then I checked my email and found a reminder about a performance at the Oakland Temple. So I made Rex wear his red shirt and we went and listened to some patriotic music by a choir and orchestra of local church members. They put on a great show. My favorite part was watching how much the people in the audience were enjoying themselves. There were a few little boys in front of me conducting the orchestra from their seats. I also saw an elderly lady to my left tapping her fingers to the beat of her favorite songs. Music is so powerful! I love it!




If you have never been to the Oakland temple it is set on a hill with an awesome view. After the performance we joined the crowd and waited for the fireworks to begin. At first we could only see a bunch of smaller fireworks being set off from the neighborhoods below. After awhile bigger shows started at about 3 or 4 different locations that we could see. We were up so high that the fireworks seemed pretty far away but we still enjoyed them.

These aren't the best pictures of us but you can kind of see my belly in this picture. I have had some requests for a "side" belly shot. I will try to do that soon! Happy 4th of July!

Scott's Farewell

While I was in NV I got to see lots of family that were in town for Scott's farewell. He did a great job speaking in church about the joy and strength that the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring into our lives. He is going to be an AMAZING missionary!

What a handsome guy!

I had to include this last picture because it is so typical to see my mom multi-tasking. Here she is cooking Thai food and watering the grass at the same time. I love you Mom!

Another highlight of the trip is that my Grandma Snow just got back from her second mission to Baltimore, Maryland. It is great to have her back and as always we enjoyed some of her yummy food. She is such a great example to me.

Arizona Trip

Near the end of June Rex and I were able to fly to Arizona to go to his niece, Jenessa's wedding. She married a great guy named James, and Rex and I got to meet him for the first time the night before the wedding. They were married on Friday, June 26th, in the Mesa Temple.

Jenessa, James, and cousins!


The cake made by Rex's sister. Fancy, fancy!

My week-old niece Haleigh!

Rex and Jenessa. Congrats!

The day after the wedding Rex and his brothers woke up super early to go golfing. It is very rare that Rex gets to be together with his dad and brothers all at the same time since Trey lives in Georgia. They were roasting hot when they got home at 10 am but they had fun!

I left on Saturday night to make it to Boulder City for Scott's mission farewell on Sunday. Rex stayed in AZ until Monday morning and then flew back to Oakland to cram for his Podiatry board exam. It was a quick but fun (and hot) trip to Arizona! We love you Kimball family!
