Happy Birthday Brennon!

Brennon Turned the big 25 Tuesday! I asked Brennon what he wanted for his birthday and all he wanted was he 9 layer cake that his grandma would make him. I knew this is what he was going to ask for, but I was hoping that he wouldn't! For the past two years that's the only thing that Brennon would want for his birthday, and I would never make it! The thing is about this cake is it is nine layers and it takes a lot of time to make! This year I was determined to make the cake for him no matter how long it would take! I had to get back up so I called Carli to come and help me. It was a lot of work, but we finally made the cake for Brennon. I told Carli that she saved our marriage because I didn't know how many more years Brennon could take not getting his 9 layer cake! :)

Brennon was so excited to come home and see his 9 Layer cake! Doesn't he look like a happy Birthday Boy!Brennon taking his fist bite of the Birthday Cake!Brennon was nice enough to share a piece of his cake with Brian!

Carli worked hard to make the cake for Brennon! She is so amazing! It turned out wonderful! Thank You Carli!
The layers of the cake! We only did 8! But Brennon said it tasted just as good!

.baby update.

Brennon & I went to the doctor yesterday and heard good news. I am dilated to a 2 and 60 percent effaced. I didn't know exactly what that meant. The doctor just said I was off to a good start, and that I probably won't go past the due date, June 12. I had to call my two expert sister-in-laws Carli & Tamra and my mom to explain everything to me. Brennon & I are excited but really nervous. I told the doctor that I was really nervous that the baby wasn't growing so he did an ultra sound for us. The baby is about 6.3 pounds and is doing great. He said she won't be a big baby. I mean look at her parents!

Couples Baby Shower!



Desiree & Kristyn were so awesome and gave Brennon & I a couples baby shower! It was so much fun to see all of the couples from our old ward and hang out with them! We played so many fun games and ate some of the best hamburgers thanks to TC.


Brennon, TC, and Steven were good sports and played the bottle game! They were each given a bottle filled with root beer and 2 minutes to see who would suck the most! It was so funny watching the boys! Brennon said that his jaw was killing him afterwards!


Brennon sucking really hard!

TC ended up winning!

GO D-BACKS!!!
















The other night Rusty and Carianne were nice enough to invite us to a D-Backs game to celebrate Amber's graduation. It was a happy and sad experience. Happy because we were at the game with Rusty and Carianne and that Amber had graduated from college. Sad because graduation only comes around once every four years or so. Oh yeah, and we were all sad that they lost, but it was a really fun game to watch.
















We had great seats!!! I have sat pretty much everywhere in the park, but I will say that behind home plate is the best. It gives you the awesome sensation that you are actually in the game.















Us having a blast with Rusty and Carianne. Amber is smiling so big because of the man sitting to the left of her (no, not me). He kept cracking amazingly funny jokes about Amber's belly. His funniest of the night was when we walked in to sit down he asked if Amber had to purchase two tickets...I know, hilarious.

My Baby Shower!



Brennon & I were so grateful for everyone who came to my baby shower! All of the wonderful gifts are going to help our family so much! We are blessed to have such caring friends that would go out of their way to help our family! Thank you everyone who came! We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends & family!

.Graduation.



Graduation was wonderful! It was so nice to see my cohort and congratulate everyone. I barely made it to graduation. Graduation started at 2:00 and we made it at 1:55. I just made it to the end of the line while the graduates were walking. It was fun to be in Flagstaff and enjoy the moment. I was telling Brennon that I thought I would never make it to today. I thought I was either going to die or quit. :) Brennon told me he was glad neither of those things happened. I looked so silly in my gown. My family told me I looked like a Sumo Wrestler with my big belly.
