Surprise!
Surprise all- we are going to have a baby! Total shocker I know- trust me we were surprised ourselves! I still don't think that it has really sunk in, but wow! We are 9 weeks along- so not terribly far- but we are so excited that we can't wait any longer. Our families all know and others have been finding out too! I have been really sick the last little bit- hopefully it won't last long! Anyways- crazy how life works out! We have been really blessed this year. We were thinking of it, in 13 months we have gone from no kids to 2! We are so grateful for our birthmom and for her courage to place her baby. Any one that has placed a baby is an angel and we cherish and love any and all! What lessons in love and selflessness they can teach all of us!

Things have been so crazy this last little while! I have been on two trips, celebrated two birthdays, and life just keeps on getting crazier!This blog is going to be long- enjoy! This last weekend we were in Star Valley visiting Jon's family. They always have a big candy drop on this weekend. It is fun to see all of the little kids running around trying to get the candy. This year, they had the kids wear plastic helmets so that they wouldn't get hurt!
Here is the air plane that drops the candy!
Dad and Gabe trying to get some candy!
After it's all over!
Gabe enjoying his spoils!
Gabe loved this basketball hoop that my parents gave to him!
He had a great birthday, and loved every minute of it!
There is so much to say about this trip! I have a ton more pictures too! Anyways- Nauvoo was awesome, the spirit that you could feel there was amazing. I loved the pageant. It was incredible- you could literally feel the past pioneers right there with you! I loved seeing all of the sights, Carthage was neat too! That is for sure one trip that I would love to take my family on! Thanks mom!

Fourth of July fun
The 4th of July is one of my favortie holidays! I can't believe that it has come and gone already! Our day started out crazy like usual, we went to breakfast with my parents over at the DATC. Then we waited for the parade and water fight! This year Jon filled two of our horse water containers- over 200 gallons of water just for the water fight! I think that guys in our family live for this! My favorite part is at night. I love the BBQ, homemade ice cream, and fireworks. It always brings back great memories of past holidays!
Gabe was getting pretty restless waiting for the parade to start. He's lookin' cool with dads sunglasses on!
At the BBQ that night, my parents had made these foam swords- Gabe loved watching the battles, but I don't think he wanted to get too close!
This is the closest to a swimming pool Gabe has ever gotten to on his own! I was pretty excited, maybe next time we can get him in it!

TAGGED!
5 Random or Embarrassing things about me huh?!
1. I am totally weird about MY pillow! No one else can touch it or lay on it,not even for 1 second, or else I consider it contaminated! It totally grosses me out! So when I travel with my pillow, either I hold it or I bring extra clean pillow cases that aren't dirty!(Not even Jon can lay on it!)
2.When I was going in for my first knee surgery, ya know you're in your gown, and you are already embarrassed. I had this physicians assistant or something come in and start asking me medical questions. He asked me if I was physically active and I looked at him with complete disgust and said, NO! He was totally embarrassed and my parents were laughing at me! He then explained "no, not sexually active, do you get out and exercise?" I was quickly embarrassed and caught on to what was being said. But c'mon, with songs out there like Lets get physical and stuff, who wouldn't be confused by the worlds double meaning?!
3.I have this secret desire to pull my long hair through my shirt sleeve and raise my hand just to see peoples reaction. Just like the good old days in 6th grade! "It's a jungle down here" ( I hope some of you appreciate that, along with crayon ball fights!) Anyways- the 4th of July might be a good time to test my hairy armpit! What do ya think?!
4.I used to moon people a lot growing up! I don't know why I thought it was so funny, but I think that I have scarred my siblings for life! J/k, it probably would if I did it now though! But don't worry, I am way past that phase in my life now. Or am I?
5.And finally, I am a face picker! I know it is gross, but I think that it is even grosser to have nasty white heads all over your face. I stand in the bathroom every night on my tippy-toes for what could be 30 minutes, at times just to make sure my face is free of nastiness!
On that final note, I tag Holli S, Karissa, Sundee, and Lindsay K. Have fun!
