Surprise!

We are pleased to announce our newest addition coming due Oct. 8, 2011!

Our tiny peanut at 8 weeks! I still couldn't believe it until I saw it!


This is the 12 week shot. It was taken with a weaker ultrasound so it isn't as clear, but you can make out the eyes! It was hard to get a pic also because this little kid was flipping and kicking and moving all over the place!

We couldn't be more thrilled! I am 13 weeks tomorrow and feeling pretty good. Looking forward to not being so sleepy and finding out what we're having in a little over a month!

(Oh and Grandmas reading this, this is license for you to tell whomever you want!)

Becca Quote

I have to preface this quote with two things. 1) I told Becca earlier today that tomorrow we are going to St. George. 2) Becca LOVES the monkey Curious George.

Daddy - Becca we need to pack so we can go on a trip tomorrow.
Becca - (immediately in hysterics) But I want to go to George with mommy and daddy!
Daddy - We aren't going until tomorrow honey, we'll all go together!
Becca - But I want to see GEORGE!
Daddy - Becca, do you know what St. George is?

Oh I love that kid!

New Background

One of these days I will post V-day pics..but for now, enjoy the St. Patrick's day themed background. ;)

Prayer Quote

From Elder Nephi Jensen, President of the Canadian Mission:

True prayer is the soul of true religion. It distinguishes religion from superstition. As long as men pray from the heart with real faith they will retain some actual assurance of the existence of the true God.

(Elder Nephi Jensen, Conference Report, April 1920, Second Overflow Meeting 81.)

On another note: I know I need to post some more updates about the fam, it's just been busy lately! V-day pics and goings on coming soon!

Another Prayer Quote

I know I have been posting a lot of quotes lately, but if you recall one of my goals was to improve my personal prayer. So this was a good quote for me, and I really wanted to put it someplace I could find it easily.

From Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles:

Should you ever feel distanced from our Father, it could be for many reasons. Whatever the cause, as you continue to plead for help, He will guide you to do that which will restore your confidence that He is near. Pray even when you have no desire to pray. Sometimes, like a child, you may misbehave and feel you cannot approach your Father with a problem. That is when you most need to pray. Never feel you are too unworthy to pray.

(Elder Richard G. Scott, Conference Report, April 2007)

A Good Reminder

From President Thomas S. Monson, First Counselor in the First Presidency:

One day, each of us will run out of tomorrows. Let us not put off what is most important.

(President Thomas S. Monson, Conference Report, April 2003)

Becca Quote

This one was just too cute not to share. Becca has only thrown up once in her life, until last night...it's now two. I was not home when it happened, but Tyson was ready with a bowl etc. When she was done Becca asked: "What's that?" She really has no clue.

Tyson laughed a little and said "It's throw up. Are you okay?"

Becca's response? "Yeah, I'm fine."

She was done, had no clue what had happened, and didn't really care. I just love that girl. She makes me smile every day.
