The Little Things

It's the little things that make such a difference. Like my 7 year old niece lining up all the chairs in our living room today so that we could be an audience for her to show us the dance she has been learning and Stella trying to stuff her entire foot in her mouth. It's a great conversation and my husband doing the dishes. These are the simple things that make life sweet.

She's almost here!

Our little one is almost here and I can't wait to meet and see her.

My Belly is Growing...

Today I am 15 weeks pregnant and still can't believe it. Yeah! I have always wanted to be a mom and I can't believe that it's actually going to happen. We feel so blessed...

Honeymoon Pics

Turtle Farm, holding a baby sea turtle.

Jorge on this cute little rickety dock, the water as you can see was amazingly clear and warm.

We swam with the dolphins... so much fun.

Grand Cayman Island from the plane as we were flying in... glad we didn't miss it ;)

The happy couple on our way to the island.

Hello, hello, hello,

I'm back from sabatical ;) and ready to write. My blog name has changed to reflect my new status... we both will use the site. I hope to be more regular in my writing. After a long absence I have to say that so much goodness has happened to me over the last year since I have written that i can't begin to count/share all the blessings in my life. I'm sorry to not have been about the sharing of them. I'm not a great writer or really even a good writer so I hope this will help me to improve. I hope to go forward from here sharing all the while.

Five Dollars

I've entitled my entry 5 dollars because my sweet younger brother B-rad who lives several states away told me that he would pay me 5 dollars to update my blog. I won't really collect but I figured that if my family was resorting to bribes it must mean that it's time to update. This past weekend I took a trip to Cali to visit my brother B-rad in the OC and my sister Michelle in Catalina. The trip was incredible. The weather was spectacular, the company was excellent, and the ocean was amazing. We ate out at all my favorite restaurants and visited with some of my favorite people (sadly i'm never there long enough to visit all my favorite people). So the man to the left of me in the picture is my boyfriend, Jorge. He came with me on the trip. We both had credits on different airlines that we needed to use and so visiting and staying with family seemed like the most economical way to use it. For all the curious minds out there we have only been dating for a few months. We are in the same ward in Boise. He really is a great guy!

Mykalah's 4th Birthday

Once she figured out that she, as a girl, could play baseball then she was in her bathing suit in two seconds and read to play. Mykalah playing with her new toy, (yes, it's dark outside) at least it was warm.
Relieved when I explained that girls play baseball too.
Her comment to me, "But baseball is for boys and I'm a girl".
