Update!

So this last month has kinda flown by. It has been a very fun month, full of birthdays, holidays and family fun stuff! Well, to start at the top, Miss and Joel had Korbin's 1st birthday party on March 20th, I need to learn how to put the video that I have of him on the blog,he is so funny! Missy's birthday on March 30th, ( miss this is your golden year!) I decided to fill her request of a 4 layered cake! I have never done this before, but it was really fun to try to do something new. I have to say I was actually impressed on how it came out! We celebrated Scott, Grandma and Grandpa B's birthday on conference weekend and my Mom's birthday just this last week. I have now made a cake 4 weeks in a row. It is actually getting really fun! Yesterday was Ethan's 3rd birthday (wish we could be there! love you buddy!) and next week is Gina's birthday, so more fun to come! Happy Birthday Everyone!!!

Easter was very nice. Keith surprised me with a cute new (maternity) Easter dress that will be really nice for the summer. He is so thoughtful and such a sweetheart. Love you honey! We went to my parents for the annual Easter egg hunt on sunday. It is so fun to watch the kids (my mom and dad are so cute with the grandkids. I am so excited this will be #9 for them.) It reminds me of being at my Grandparents. I love Easter. I think it is definitely one of my favorite holidays! Plus we always have the great Easter Ham dinner. Thanks Mom and Miss for making all the yummy stuff.

It has been so cool to be able to feel the baby more and more. Keith has been able to feel him a lot better the bigger he gets. We love all these cool firsts. The doctor says he is growing really well and right on schedule.I have officially graduated to maternity pants this last week. I was hoping for a couple more weeks, oh well, the stretch band is definitely more comfy now that when I sit down the baby kicks the waistband. He is funny, apparently he needs his space! We get to have the 24-25 week 3D ultrasound this Tuesday. I will try to figure out how to put those pics on here as well. :)

New things that are going on are: We were released from our gospel doctrine teaching after almost 2 years and they put me in as 2nd counselor in the Primary, which is actually just nursery, we have a total of 4 kids in nursery and 1 in primary. So it is pretty small. Also they put Keith in as the 2nd counselor in the Elder's Quorum. He is really enjoying it so far. We have a really great ward and are so grateful to be here.

Keith is finishing up his Junior year at USU. It is super hectic right now with the last week in sight. So many tests and projects to finish up that I haven't seen much of him. I am thankful that he is such a hard worker. We haven't heard much on the internship front because of all the economic cut backs, but we have been really fortunate that he has been offered to head up a couple of projects at the school for a professor/Dr. that he has been working with on a previous project. He has just started one of the jobs on top of the one that he is finishing up right now and school, so things have been really busy but we feel really lucky for him to even have a job.

I will try to post sooner so they are not so long and far apart. And the pics I promised. Hope everybody is enjoying the great weather, I am so ready for some warm!

I think we need some pics!! by the way, I am going to call Melissa. I just work til six and then am rushing to eat, work on projects, or moving stuff. By the time I remember to call I worry about interrupting her family time! I will probably call AFTER the move, when I have no job and loads of free time!

Fun to see an update, glad you guys finally got released from Gospel Doctrine that is a hard calling (not that I would know Paul always taught for us!) It was Paul's idea to put you there in the first place so you can blame it on him!

Heather! That is so awesome you are having a boy and 24 weeks along! I'm right behind you, and yes, we are having a boy too! That's pretty cool. Too bad we don't live closer-then our boys could be friends. Maybe one day. Will you live in CV long term? We hope to return there when we are done here. We love it there. You are awesome! Love ya.

Yeah you should post some pregnancy pictures. These are memories you can't go back on. And it's awesome when you think you are at your biggest ever and then the next week you are even bigger. It really makes you appropriate the week before. I'm so excited we are having babies together. I'm glad I have you to help me through all this and you can tell me what I have to look forward to!
