Pregnancy update...

Yes... only 10 days to go. We are definitely on the count down. I would be content having this baby...um let's say yesterday. I have actually been feeling pretty good until the last few days, and now I am definitely ready to have this baby. I will be patient and things will happen when they are supposed to, or when I actually get induced which I am also content with. All is well and we will keep you updated on any new exciting updates.

I am never a big fan of posting pregnancy pictures... probably because reality hurts. Eat your heart out!

Easter

"I believe that through His atoning sacrifice, the offering of His life on Calvary's Hill, He expiated the sins of mankind, relieving us from the burden of sin if we will forsake evil and follow Him. I believe in the reality and the power of His Resurrection. I believe in the grace of God made manifest through His sacrifice and redemption, and I believe that through His Atonement, without any price on our part, each of us is offered the gift of resurrection from the dead. I believe further that through that sacrifice there is extended to every man and woman, every son and daughter of God, the opportunity for eternal life and exaltation in our Father's kingdom, as we hearken to and obey His commandments. "

-President Gordon B. Hinckley

We had a great Easter. It is always good to reflect on the reason for Easter. We are grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and all that he has done for us. I think that this quote explains it perfect. Easter is a great holiday to be together with family and start to feel Spring coming soon.


We went to the Draper Park Easter egg hunt. Wow! It was a little ambitious to have it at 9:00 in the morning.. It was freezing. Addie enjoyed every minute of collecting the candy and Easter eggs. She has definitely caught on quick this year.

The egg decorating festivies... Addie loves anything that is messy. I have to admit that Mom and Dad enjoyed themselves too.

Addie's beautiful Easter dress. Good thing she is still excited about her new Easter dress considering that she wears a dress every day of her life.

I have been slacking on keeping the blog updated. On March 8, Jeremy ran the Moab 1/2 Marathon and did a great job. He completed it in 1:45! Go Jeremy. Awesome job, I wish I could have been there to cheer you on... sorry in my condition I was not willing to make the trek to Moab. You are such a great example to the family. Not only is he a great father, husband, and bread winner but he is very dedicated and determined to complete his personal goals. We love you!

The Adventures of Babysitting...

I had the opportunity to watch my cute niece Hailey for 4 days while my brother and his wife went to Hawaii. She was so much fun to have for a few days. She is really mellow and a really easy going little girl. Addie and Hailey had so much fun together; they played with playdough, Addie gave her a lesson on dress ups, and of course the Fish Aquarium. Hailey has been gone for a few days and Addie is still asking when Hailey is going to come back and have another sleepover. It is so fun to have cousins live so close and have so much fun together.

Getting Prepared

Time seems to be flying by. We only have about a month left before we have our new little arrival. We are so excited to have the spirit that a new born brings to our home. The miracle of birth is the closest we get to heaven. I feel that I am ready to be done being pregnant, but I don't know if I am ready for the dependency of a newborn. I know that I can handle a newborn, I just don't know if I can handle a newborn and a toddler. Every challenge we face continues to make us stronger. Pregnancy and birth is such a miracle, and we have been so blessed to be entrusted with these sweet spirits.




The nursery is still a work in progess, but it is coming along. I have finished my first quilt from start to finish. I am very proud, it is definitely noticeable that it is my first quilt. Practice makes perfect. I have really enjoyed putting the nursery together.

Valentine's...

I am a little delayed with my post. I just wanted to shout out to my amazing husband. He is the most dedicated, motivated, self-driven, and fun loving person I know. He always has a smile on his face... not to add the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. I love to watch him be a Dad, I love to see his tender side. He is an amazing father. Addie just adores him. He would do anything for anyone, especially for his family. Addie loves to play with her Dad. They have so much fun together. Jer I love you with all of my heart, I know Addie does too!
