Where have the weeks gone!?!

I was doing so good at keeping updated, but then a little thing called life happened. School is done, well has been done for two weeks now and we both pulled A's and B's (yes Caleb got a better gpa than I did, but his classes are easier!) After our finals were over we headed to Idaho for a little break and to visit family. Caleb took the xbox which entertained him, McCoy and Wes for most of the evenings. Roven did get out the guns to shoot and that made Caleb really happy. Wes made sure he was right there telling him that if he missed the target that he was a bad shot. Thank you Wes for your never failing honesty :)

Friday we headed to Poky for my nephew Carson's birthday party. They had the party at a gym type thing, so after messing around in a foam pit and the trampoline's for an hour, it was time for presents. After opening everyone's presents except for the one's from his parents, we gave him a little certificate. It said: Congratulations Carson, Barrett and Kord, you can redeem this certificate for one new cousin. Expires December 17. Yup, we are having a baby!! We still can't believe it, but neither could anyone else. I think we told everyone in St. George before my family knew, but I just wanted to tell them in person. So we kept the secret for 8 weeks and mom couldn't believe that I didn't tell her. I even started crying, what a baby!! Sure wish I could turn the water works off sometimes, but I really haven't been that bad. It was so good to finally tell everyone.

Saturday, Caleb and I went back to Poky to hang out with Aaron and Lynzi and watch their boys' little league games. After spending all day with them, I want to move home! Hopefully in the near future, we'll make our way up there. After the weekend, Caleb had sales training in Ogden for the Living Scriptures for his job for the summer. I let him take the car and convinced my mom to take me to Ogden in a few days when he was done.

After making it back to warm country, we had our first ultrasound appointment! We heard the heart beat and saw the little gummy bear hanging out down there. Caleb said he lost his breath when he heard the heart beat. Precious! I think I was in more pain at the moment than worrying about the heart beat. The tech was pushing so hard on my stomach, it was so uncomfortable. But looking back, how amazing it was to hear that heart beat of another human inside of me. We both think it's a boy. Caleb had a dream that the new born boy was talking to him, not very realistic but hey it was a boy. I just have a a really strong feeling that it is, and also taking a look at my family boys are definitely dominate. Only time will tell.

My days now are filled with a lot of free time since Caleb is gone from 9 to 9. I am determined to fill them with talent building projects. We had a lesson in relief society which motivated me to make good use of my time and put it to good use. I'm working on crocheting a blanket right now and hopefully a few baby blanket will be completed by the end of the summer. I need to do all my baby projects now while I still have time before fall semester and football starts :)

Family, Family and more Family!

Well since spring break, we've had family down here ever since! It's been so nice to see everyone and has made the weeks go by so fast.

For our spring break, my mom, her parents and my little brothers all came down to party with us. It wasn't too warm but compared to Idaho they were loving it! We spent the week doing everything it seemed like. McCoy and Wes spent the night with us the first night to give the grown-ups a break from all their cooped up energy from the long drive. They of course we're content with playing xbox with Caleb for the night which I didn't mind one bit. They loved having someone else besides each other to play with. We went out to Zion's National Park and hiked one of the easy hikes with everyone so even grandma and grandpa could join us. That night we stayed in the park. Mom, grandma and grandpa stayed in a hotel and we stayed.... in a tent! And boy was is cold. It probably got down to the 30s with the wind chill. Caleb and I could keep each other warm but we packed on the blankets on McCoy and Wes. Nevertheless, we all enjoyed our little camping adventure. Everyone spent a few more days here then had to head back to Idaho.

Caleb's grandma Liz brought his cousins down for 4 days just a couple weeks later. We took them up to the Dixie State rock to climb around on the rocks around there.

We are so thankful for our families and pray that we move closer to our family soon!
