Sleep Tight

Mark is amazing! Our crib showed up early one morning and within an hour of getting off work that night he had it all put together. He just couldn't wait! We are so excited to welcome our sweet little babe into our family and will keep you update on the progress of our nursery :)

Pumpkin Walk Project

Mark is AMAZING and a celebrity among my students. For one of his senior projects his class was in charge of getting the community more involved with Homecoming week. Our class had the opportunity to participate in the Pumpkin Walk (thanks to Mark) and we painted 11 red pumpkins (Fresno's football team) and 11 blue pumpkins (USU's football team), along with three refs and three coaches.

Big Blue, the USU cheerleaders, and some USU athletes came to our class and helped the students paint the pumpkins. It was honestly the best day of their lives and they had so much fun! Big Blue and the cheerleaders led my class in some cheers and we had one for them as well. Thanks Mark for making third grade the best year ever for these kids. You are the GREATEST!

The BIG NEWS!!

Surprise! We are having a BOY!!!! We are so excited we can't stop smiling!! We had our appointment at 4:00 pm today and everything looks great! There is no doubt that our little babe is a boy... we got a real good shot :)

After our appointment we celebrated with dinner at Chili's and bought "Little Junior" his first set of onesies and the softest blanket in the world! We just can't wait to meet this little man in March!

I have no idea!

Tomorrow is the big day! We are so excited to find out what we are having. I must be a little out of touch, because I really have no idea what our bun in the oven might be. I need to work on that mother's intuition thing...

I just have to say that Mark is going to be the best dad ever! I am so excited to meet our little babe in March and see Mark as a daddy... he is amazing!

Check back with us tomorrow for the big announcement!

Rockin out to Yellowcard!

The band!
Our little babe attended his/her first concert! We went to the Yellowcard concert at Romney Stadium a few weeks ago and it rocked!



Ladd and Mark just chillin... (we missed you Jaci)

Mel and Colby... the elementary teachers were staying up late and partying :)

My little sis, Chels, and her friend Casey...

Fall Adventures

We are crazy! Mark and I decided to "beef up" our food storage even more this year. So we canned like mad! We canned salsa, tomatoes, pears, peaches, peach syrup, and stocked our freezer with a quarter of a beef and forty pounds of chicken! WOW... that's all I can say is WOW... we are nuts :)






















A few weeks ago we went to the musical BIG at the Hale Center Theater and it was so GOOD! We loved it! After that we experienced the amazing IKEA! Mark claims that it was awful and took way too long, but I think he secretly liked it. :) That night we went with my cute cousin Nat, her boyfriend Bryce (no pics), and my brother Kyle to a REAL Salt Lake game and it was so fun. We had such a great weekend and love every chance we get to spend together, and with our families.

We are counting down!

Only five more weeks (ha ha ha) until we find out what we are having! We are so excited to find out what our little babe is and can't wait to meet him/her in March. Tell us what you think we are having by taking our poll...

Little Junior

We are so excited to be pregnant and meet our little bundle of joy! To answer some questions from everyone, our little babe is due March 14, 2009 and we will find out what we are having on October 28th!

I really don't have any mother's intuition so far as to the gender of our baby, but we both keep referring to him as Little Junior, so if it is a girl hopefully she won't feel bad.

I am now in my second trimester (13 weeks) and feeling much better. The first little while was rather rough, everything made me nauseous, including our freezer (weird, I know.) It usually sets in at night, but it is getting better :)

I just have to say that Mark is the best husband ever! He has taken such good care of me, and since I haven't felt much like cooking he has pitched in or got take out... what a babe! Thanks for sharing in our excitement, we are so blessed to have great family and friends.

Surprise!

Some have "nuts" and some don't... we will find out what ours has on October 28, 2008!

Due: March 14, 2009

Our Summer Adventures

What a great summer! We have been busy going to Star Valley, the Bar J Wranglers, the Motor Vu Drive In, hanging out with our families, firework shows, and much more. My favorite pics in this slide show are of Mark walking pigs with my family at the farm. What an amazing husband I have... good old Farmer Bubs!
