Doctor's Appointment

I went to the doctor's yesterday and everything looked great. We heard the heart beat again and we set the appointment for our ultrasound. We get to find out what we are having on January 19th and I am so excited. That is less than 3 weeks away!!! I just had to share this good news with everyone cause I am SO excited.

Catch Up!!!

I know that it has been a very long time since I have updated my blog. Sorry!!! I am now 16 weeks pregnant, I would have been 18 weeks but the doctor pushed me back 2 weeks. My new due date is June 17th. We are really excited and I am just starting to get a little belly. We can find out what we are having in about a month and I will let all of you know!
We had a great Thanksgiving and Christmas. We were able to go to both families for each holiday. I am now on Christmas break, since Friday the 19th, and I go back to school on January 5th. It will be a nice long break!!! I promise that I will try to be better about updating my blog. I hope you all had a great Christmas.

Go UTES!!!

So Utah beat BYU (we actually killed them)!!! We double their score, 48 to 24, and now we are still in the running for the BCS. Thanks to our MVP Max Hall (haha) we were able to get tons of interceptions. I am just so grateful that we don't have to share the title with BYU. It is ours and we deserve it! GO UTES

We are having a baby! I am 7 weeks and I am due on May 31st. We are so excited (now that Will is finally over the shock of it). I haven't been sick yet, just tired. It has kind of worked out perfect, because I will get out of school on May 29th. I can't believe that we will really be parents in 7 months. It will be the best thing ever!!!

Happy Birthday Abe!

Yesterday was Abe's 1st birthday. I can't believe that he is already a year old. He is getting so big and he is not even full grown yet. I never thought that I would say this, but I am so glad that we got him and I don't even remember how it was before he was here. Here are some pictures of him when he was a puppy and one that was taken a couple of weeks ago.

Lake Powell 2008

So we went to Lake Powell again at the end of September. This is our 4th year going and it is by far Will's favorite trip. Thank you Chad and Amanda!!! Will went from Tuesday to Monday, and then I went down on Thursday until Monday. I decided this year that I was not going to be afraid of the fish and I got in the water everyday. In past years I would only get in once or twice so everyone would leave me alone, but I was really brave this year. My parents and Aubree came down for their 1st time this year and it was so much fun. My mom and dad tried to wakeboard and they tubed.

Will is really good at wakeboarding and he tried his back flip again this year. He came really close but he over rotated on his landing. Maybe next year! He loves to jump and he gets a lot of air. I was able to wakeboard and I got in and out of the wake on both sides. I also tried to jump and I did it, but I fell pretty hard on my landing. I didn't try it again after that last fall. Will was also held the rope with his teeth. It was crazy!!!It was fun to be there with my family.

So You Think You Can Dance Concert

So I went to the "So You Think You Can Dance" concert on September 23rd and it was AWESOME!!! It was amazing. I went with my sister, Terah, Jory and Kristy. I loved to watch the show on TV and it was even better live. They did every one of my favorite dances. My favorite dance was "Bleeding Love" and it was so cool to see it live. I love American Idol, but after watching this concert I now love this show more. Oh , and by the way I now have dark hair if any one was wondering!

New School Year

It's official! A new school year has started. We started on Monday, August 18th. I have 21 students this year and that is a perfect size. Last year I had 25 students and it just seemed like whenever I would turn my back, I would have 3 kids getting into trouble. With 21, I feel like I am able to see and hear them all! Thank goodness that the first week is over now. My first graders were so tired by today and they all had blank stares. I am tired too, but it is also great to be back. I didn't realize how much I missed my kids until school started. I love my job and I am glad that I get to teach sweet little children every day!

Oregon

We went to Oregon for a family vacation and it was so fun!!! Every other year, my family goes on a big vacation together. We went for six days and Oregon was beautiful. As you can see from the picture, we had to wear sweatshirts a lot of the time cause it was colder than we were used too. I went down on Monday with my family and then Will flew down Wednesday night. I was so glad when he finally got there. I missed him so much, but he couldn't take that much work off because he had to have a school finished by August 18th. Abe went and stayed at Will's parents and he didn't even realize that we were gone.


It was really fun when we left because it was Terah's kids first time flying. Brooklyn rode by me and she was kind of nervous at first. As soon as we were ready to take off, she opened the window and she was so brave. She just laughed and kept watching out the window. She also kept wondering why we couldn't find their house. It was really fun and it was ten times better than having to drive it.
We went to so many fun places and like I said, it was BEAUTIFUL! We fed the seals, we saw a Sea Lion (see Chad and Amanda's blog to meet Eddie), we saw a whale, we played at the beach and we had a campfire on the beach. All in all, it was a relaxed vacation but we saw a ton. Here are some more pictures from our trip. Enjoy!

Aubree's Graduation

I can't believe it but my little sister is old enough to be graduated. I know that this post is a little late, but I completely forgot to put it on. She wore bright yellow shoes with her dress and that was the only way that we could find her. She looked so cute and it was a big day for her. Aubree is getting so old!!! She is going to SUU next year and she will be on their drill team. I am so proud of her and I love her so much.

Tonsils

So last Friday, the 18th, I had my tonsils taken out. I must say that it was a lot more painful than I expected. It has now been a week and I am still living on Loratab and popsicles. I got strep throat twice last year, once in December and again in May. It was horrible and so painful. I am slowly on my way to recovering but it has been a whole lot harder than I thought it would be. Thank goodness for Loratab!!!

Couple and Dog Pictures!

On Thursday we had "Couple and dog" pictures! Will would not call them family pictures. We had them taken by Katie who owns Absolute Bliss Photography. She is so amazing. We went to the International Peace Gardens. While we were there, they were taping High School Musical 3 and I actually saw Troy and Gabrielle. It was pretty cool!

The Wood Family

We were married on December 17, 2004 in the Salt Lake Temple. We have been married for 3 1/2 years. This past Christmas we got a dog and his name is Abe. He's a full bred boxer and he is so dang cute. In April of 2007 we bought a house in Eagle Mountain. I teach 1st grade at Lehi elementary and I have taught for 2 years. I love my kids, but thank goodness for summer vacation. Will works for Hogan & Associates doing construction. He is a foreman and he is currently building an elementary school in Eagle Mountain. He only works about 5 minutes from home. Life is crazy, but it's great!

A FEW MEMORIES!
