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.
