We're Having a....

BABY! That's right I'm due September 10th and we couldn't be more excited! I will be 12 weeks this Friday. Time has really started to fly by. I've been feeling pretty good for the most part, tired but very little morning sickness. For those of you that know my love for Dr. Pepper you'll be shocked to know I couldn't stand the sight of it for the first 10 weeks, but don't worry the love has come back and I drink responsibly!

It's the year of babies in my family! On my dad's side my cousin Liza had a girl in January, my cousin Christi is due in March with a boy we grew up playing house together and hanging out it'll fun to have babies close in age! On my Mom's side it's starts with Beth in April with a girl, my sister Emily with a girl in August, me obivously September 10th and my cousin Elizabeth September 16th we both don't know yet what we'll be blessed with. I will be happy either way boy or girl!

5 Years Ago Today

Dallan leaving to serve the Lord 5 years ago today

Today marks 5 years that Dallan left for mission. Boy has time flown. I remember the days leading up to his departure and the day he left, it felt like he was never coming home, fast forward two years and I remember waking up the morning after he returned home it felt like he never left. I’m so glad that Dallan served an honorable full time mission. I’m so happy to have been married to him for 2 years and 8 months with an eternity to go. He’s a wonderful husband and I’m so blessed to be his wife.

As a celebration we have tickets to Phantom tonight, The summer before he left he saw an Ad for it and he told me he wanted to take me. When I looked at the ad closer it was for summer 05 and we were bummed, but it's back and we're finally going!

I love You Dallan!

HOPE

I'm a "Nie Nie" follower I check her blog periodically and today she had the link to video about hope. It was lovely and her picture is even in it. Any way at the end of the video Elder Uchtdorf closes with statement that really touched me. I'm not going to elaborate I just wanted to share.

"For the love of the Son of God pierces ALL darkness, softens ALL sorrow and gladdens every heart"

Here's the link too

Camping

Dallan and I love camping we went on a spur of the moment trip last weekend. We decided to go at 10am Friday and left at 215. It was nice to be out of the heat and in the forest. We're going again this weekend with family, we're excited! Here are some pics from the weeekend.






So as we were fishing on the banks of the reservoir, there were canoers passing by every so often. It was the three of us Me, Dallan, and Jack (the black labradoodle). We saw this teenage girl coming up the res and we smiled and she smiled back and said "Is that a YELLOW lab?" Dallan and I both stood there still with smiles on our faces trying not to say um no he's a BLACK labradoodle! hahahahhahaha We said he's labradoodle and she said she has a yellow lab back at camp you could she realized what she said and was getting nervous and awkward! When she finally floated by it was silent for a second and then I asked...."Is that a yellow lab?" ahaha we laughed forever about it and still do!!!

4th of July

I love the 4th! Dallan's parents were out of town and they offered their pool to us and so we invited my family over for a swiming party bbq. We had a great time! The boys and I played a couple killer rounds of speed in the pool. My cousin Meredith is here for the summer and we've had ablast hanging out! I love holidays when all the family gets together! Amy Jordan and Turner went with us to see fireworks at Tempe Town Lake and that was my Fav! I LOVE LOVE LOVE fireworks! And the were grand! I plan on being in DC next 4th!
