my baby sister had a baby!!!!

jp deep in thought (holy &^!@*, no turning back now!!!)


beautiful brittany with her beautiful baby, brecken skye lewis


the happy family. brittany sure as heck doesn't look like she's just pushed a nine pound munchkin out now does she? i always told myself at least brit could commiserate on the fat/gross/hell of pregnancy and labor, but whatever she does, brit does with style. i'm all alone here. :( now now, no consoling words please, it's the cold hard truth and there's no sugar coating my condition anymore. i'm large and in charge and i'm dealing with it. :)

congratulations brittles! you were amazing and i love you and your sweet little girl. can't wait for baby bulkley and baby lewis to meet!

i will not be in pictures due to my awesome condition of massive weight gain, but i had to prove to the world that i, yes hollie lynne anderson bulkley, slept on the floor at the reunion in idaho. there weren't too many options and i sucked it up and here's the proof.  we are sitting on my nice cozy bed in cristy's living room.  i'm trying to suck in and hide the arm problem, didn't work too well, but i tried.  the pioneers ain't got nothing on me!!!!!! 

i love you grandma!

my sweet, passionate, crazy, wonderful grandma passed away early this morning.  i love you grandma and will miss you so much.  

grandma marilyn and my dad at 5 months!  classic pic!

4 generations! me, dad, chase, grandma 

baseball fun!

chase's baseball coach got tickets for the twins to go to the owlz game.  they got autographs and had a blast.

noah, ethan, and chase, the cutest darn twins players i've ever seen!

chase even got to go down on the field and stand with a real-live owlz player.  pretty cool!

chase had a great season of baseball, he had great coaches, his best friend, and a loud cheering section (i didn't get thrown out of one game!).  he hit four home runs, or at least ran 4 home runs.  he got pretty cocky toward the end and would run the bases even when his coaches would tell him to stop!  he figured he could outrun his opponents, naughty boy!

hee hee

a picture's worth 1000 words. . .

okay, so i do have a couple of words to add. 34 pounds in 21 weeks! are you kidding me?

sugar and spice and DRAMA!!!!

food glorious food

i know all my loyal blog followers (read:2 people) have really been missing me and wondering why i've been such a slacker. well, friends, depression, pregnancy, exhaustion, and chub do not mix well with the blogosphere (at least where i'm concerned). soooo, i'm pregnant and living large! i can't stop myself so i need to prepare you all for the next time you see me. honest to goodness fact: at 14 weeks pregnant, i had already gained TWENTY ONE BIG ONES!!!!! so, i googled pregnancy weight gain and found out that my little fetus weighed about an ounce, and placenta weighed another ounce. so, let's do the math, 21 pounds minus 2 ounces = 20 pounds 14 ounces of PURE BLUBBER!!!! okay more math, if i've already been gaining about 10 pounds a month, we're looking at an 80+ pound adventure! sweet. bring on the stretch marks, cellulite, and self-confidence!!!! excuse me, i need to go eat! help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



p.s. the doctor tried to make me feel better by telling me i'm just getting old! sweet! the next post will be about wrinkles, gray hair, and memory loss, stay tuned. . .
