17 Weeks...dun dun dun

Hey guys! So, I finally got a picture taken...it's not all that exciting to me..but I hope y'all like it! This is me at 17 weeks. We get our big ultrasound in 3 weeks...but I'm still unsure whether or not I want to find out. We'll see what happens the day of, eh? I felt squishy move on Saturday. It was super weird, but exciting at the same time!

I love the hospital.

So, I got to go to the doctor again today, and we got to hear Squisy's heartbeat again. The doctor said it was a perfect heartbeat. Hello, why wouldn't it be!? :) Anyway, then, I had to go to the beloved lab to do a screening test, and we all know that drawing blood is my favorite past time. I was pretty not-excited to go. So, I get back there, and I tell the girl, "I'm a really big wimp, So I might either throw up, or pass out in here." (cause I almost passed out last time) So, what does she do? She sits me in this huge comfortable chair, that reclines, and lets me get comfy. Then she brings me a can of this fabulous can of pineapple juice (which is the best) and is very kind to me. Needless to say, she made my day.

More pics of my cute niece.

So, guys, I really will get some more pictures, once I get back to work, and I have a cable to connect pictures from my camera. But here are some my sister-in-law sent me :) Enjoy the cute lil' Hayley Jade!

Our First Glimpse of Baby!

We went in for my 12 week appointment this week. (a.k.a. my first appointment) The only reason they really do an ultrasound is to see how many babies are in your tummy,(there is only one) and we also got to hear the heartbeat. It was pretty awesome! I don't think I've seen Darrell smile that big for a REALLY long time. It was awesome.

Facial Profile

Here is another picture from our first ultrasound. It was pretty exciting. The baby was looking right at us, and as I was looking at this picture last night, it sort of looked like StrongBad to me...but I'm a little strange too :)

Yay for Babies!

Hey everyone! So, this picture is of my ADORABLE niece, Hayley Jade Rowley, whom happens to be now almost 2 months old. Isn't she adorable? So why the need for cute picture? It comes with an announcement! We love announcements!! The Announcement is: (drum roll) I'm pregnant! Pretty crazy, it is true. And for all of you people who are saying, "Wow, that was fast" or "They didn't waste anytime." SHAME ON YOU! We originally weren't planning on having kids for about 2 years, but we know this is what the Lord has planned for us right now. We're so very excited! I'm due on Septemeber 5, 2007, which puts me right now (Feb. 1) 9 weeks along! I'll try to keep this place updated! I love you all!

Cool People!

So, I had to get a picture with some of Peter Brienholt's band, since David Tolk was the pianist. While we were waiting in the foyer, we took pictures of other cool people as well. Zann and Amber Anderson, and Kerry and Alison Bayles. USU rocks, it's true!

Crown Making with the Zamberson's!

So, Friday night after we went to the Peter Brienholt concert, we went to Zann and Amber Anderson's (The Zamberson's) and had a great evening. We made crowns, made brownies, and watched The Princess Bride! It was awesome...I think Darrell was a bit bitter about his pink crown, that I made for him :)

Christmas in Richfield!!

Christmas was so much fun this year! We got pajamas, and of course, the nieces and nephews were as cute as ever!

We love Kate Felt!

So, Kacey and I had this great time visiting Kate last month. So, letting Will take my camera wasn't too bad....for a minute. The guy went crazy! That man should be a photographer. Great people skills!

Visiting the Kate!

So, way back in December, Kacey and I went to Ogden to watch the beautiful Kate in her Christmas Program. When we got out of the performance, we were waiting for her, and thinking, "we don't know anybody." But then we remembered Will Felt was going to be there....needless to say, it didn't take us long to find him!

Our New Neighbors

So, yesterday, as Darrell is driving me home from work, he says, "We have a new neighbor." and I'm thinking, "Great, another single guy just like the guy who lives downstairs." So I ask him, "Just one?" He replies, "I don't know. I just noticed the lights on. So, we go to meet our new neighbor, and I'm praying it's a couple, not a single guy.

When we knock on the door, a young man answers, and I see he's in a suit, and I think, "he's been at work." Until he moves, and I see his name tag, "Elder Bennett." We have the Elders as neighbors! His companion came out and met us too, and we said we just wanted to meet our new neighbors.

Elder Burnham was so excited, and exclaimed, "You guys are the coolest neighbors ever! We need more neighbors like you!"

It was pretty funny...so instead of 1 single guy....we have two single guys.

Now our fourplex population: Men: 4 - Women: 1

This was totally random..enjoy!

KIWI

And who said Kiwis couldn't fly?

Studying for my final

Who Will Teach?

Whom shall we trust to carry a child

On Through the learner's quest?

Who will have care for the daring or mild,

Glorified or oppressed?

Oh, not the judge,

Nor indolent friend,

No teachers we'll make of these.

But passionate minds,

Willing to bend

To see what the child sees.

These are the ones with burning desire

To take us beyond our reach.

These are the ones who truly aspire

To give and to care - to teach.

-Dr. Scott L. Hunsaker

Cute Nieces!

This would be Karen and Ellie at Karen's birthday party. They are princesses. Even ask them. They'll tell ya! :)

And my new neice, Hayley Jade Rowley, born Dec. 12! So precious!

Christmas Decorating!

For FHE, we got our tree set up! Complete with the beautiful lighthouse ornaments that my mother-in-law gave me for my birthday. I've included a few, so you can all see a preview of them!

Thanksgiving Day Fun!

I wish you could see the face of this cat...he was totally pretty much awesome! He was my favorite. His name was Cosmo. (Yes, like the BYU mascot!)

Football madness! This is about the best picture I could find.

Mount Rushmore, SD

Crazy in-laws. They're fun! You should all find some! This was pretty amazing, I must say. Pictures are pretty cool, but in real life, you're like, "WOAH!"

Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln. So exciting. Great men!
