5 years

My how time has flown! I cannot believe how much has happened in 5 years...a short recap- We both graduated with our Bachelors Degrees, had 2 kids and one on the way, bought a house, went back to school and in a week Dave will have his MBA and have had one great adventure after another! I am so glad to be married to my best friend, he is truly wonderful and I don't think I could live without him. We went out to dinner to celebrate and just sat and talked for an hour and a half, it made me miss those days ealry in marriage when we would do that all the time at dinner. I just love to be with Dave and am so happy to be his wife.

Although, there is one caveat to the night...we decided that we were not going to do gifts this year...so when I went to bed and found a little black box on my pillow, I was surprised! And in it was a pair of diamond earrings, I guess the joke was on him! I took him seriously when he said no presents!

Easter fun

Oh how I love spring time. Easter has been a lot more fun since the kids are older and are starting to get how things work. Our Easter Bunny comes on Saturday so that Sunday I tell the kids is all about the Resurrection. But that being said, Hailey was so excited to get up and have a basket waiting for her. We did the best egg hunt ever with my Aunt, you take 12 eggs and then your kid finds 12 eggs to take home. No fussing, no running or fighting and it is all equal! (Loved it. I am totally stealing this idea). And on that note Hailey wants to know where the Easter Bunny lives, can someone enlighten me on how to answer that one?

I am having....

After the poll it was 12 votes for a girl and 8 for a boy. I thought about waiting and not finding out the sex of the baby, you know the biggest surprise of your life! But in the end I just couldn't wait anymore! Honestly, with technology, why not take advantage of what God has blessed us with and do it! I really just wanted to know. Well, the stars have aligned and the guesses are correct. We are having another girl! My preminition was a girl and it was nice to have it confirmed. Dave and I were both hoping for a girl from the beginning, so happy that we got our wish! :) But the best part was to see all 4 chambers of the heart, spine, hands, feet, toes, stomach, kidneys, ....everything was where it is supposed to be! Feel so blessed to have a healthy one! (so far so good!)

pink or blue?

I just put up a poll on the side bar for you all to vote. I am going in tomorrow for an ultrasound to find out what we are having. I can't wait! So cast your vote, I will post tomorrow what baby #3 will be!!!

The latest news...

I always find it awkward to tell people that we are expecting, how do you bring that up in casual conversation? So I usually make Dave do it, or bring it up and try to blow it off. But here, I just post it. So for those of you who are fortunate to not be told face to face in one of those weird, Junior High confrontation coversations. We are pregnant. Done.

Once there was a snowman,snowman, snowman.

Hailey has so much fun living at Grandma and Papa's house. We put an offer in on a short sale home (it is a long shot and will take a LONG time before we actually move.) Hailey is so sad that we are looking at another house. She came to me crying and asked if she could live here forever, she never wants to move. And it's no wonder, they do the funnest stuff with her. Papa took her outside and built a snowman with her. He threw out his back getting that second snowball up on top, but he said it was all worth it.

Intentions of a Husband.

This first pic I discovered while I was uploading our most recent family pics. I didn't take this shot, it was Dave while he was doing the dishes. He left it on the camera for me to find. Which raises the question, why did he take a picture of a counter full of clean sippy cups? Was it to prove that he did the dishes? Was it documentation of a job completed? Was it a hint that we have too many sippies? Whatever the reason, I need not wonder, he totally redeemed himself! He told me to pack an overnight bag and make sure to pack a swimsuit. We dropped the kids off at his pre-arranged sitters and headed into SLC to the Melting Pot. That food is incredible! I had a coupon for free chocolate fondue and couldn't resist just eating the last bites with a spoon! Then we stayed overnight at a hotel. It was nice to not worry about crying in the middle of the night and to wake up whenever I wanted to. I slept in and then read my book for an hour! We soaked in the hot tub and had a great time together. So whatever his intentions were, I am madly in love with him! :)
