"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Happy Anniversary to us!

We made it to number three! I can't believe how time is flying by! It seems like yesterday that we were living in St. George, in our cute little 400 sq. ft. house as newlyweds! I just wanted to say how greatful I am that I married my best friend!!


This was on our honeymoon in Sedona, Arizona. It's a beautiful place and if you ever get the chance to go, do it!!

The Simple Things!

All I can say is thank goodness for the small things in life that make grocery shopping so much easier!

23 weeks!

I couldn't resist! I was at Wal-mart and I saw these onsies. They were on sale for $2.00. You can't tell how small they really are but they are tiny! I can't believe Carly used to fit in something this small! I am getting way excited. Now that we know we are having a boy I started to paint his bedroom. I will take pictures when I get it done (which may not be until right before he comes!)
Here I am at about 23 weeks along. I feel A LOT bigger than what I look, believe me!!

Forming an Opinion!

I just thought i'd post this cute picture of Carly. She is really getting an opinion, a strong one! Chad was home watching Carly and when I got home she was wearing this. She picked it out of her drawer and wanted to wear it. She left the hood on her head the whole evening. She is a silly girl.
Also, today was the big ultrasound day at the Doctors. We are having a BOY. I am excited, but a little nervous. I'm so used to a girl that I can't picture myself with a boy. I really thought I was having another girl, just because I didn't think I'd get lucky enough to get one of each so soon! Chad is excited to have a little fishing buddy and someone who might actually care to talk about cars! Carly doesn't quite get it yet, but that's okay. :)

Guess what we're having?!


Here's where we find out. It was pretty easy for me to tell. It helped that he was cooperating. Let's hope he stays this well behaved :)




This shows a pretty good clip of his little face.
