*****Anniversary*****


So the 23rd is our anniversary, along with about 300 other couples at BYU-I.... but we are excited to celebrate the 4 years that we have been married. It is hard to believe that we have know each other for almost 5 years and that we are already overwhelmed with blessings. Anyone who says marriage is easy is crazy or a push-over, but marriage is worth it. I had a crazy morning trying to get some things done in Rexburg and I wasn't so happy about carting Daniel along, but he was so fun to talk to and he is getting better at communicating which makes both of us happy! I love my boys and I love the life that we have worked hard at creating for our family. We can't wait to welcome our second child but we are pretty happy right now too. I am so proud of Daniel, my little helper and comic relief... even though it may seem like he is the constant sore in my side! And I am also proud of Mark, for the man he is, the man he is becoming and the Dad he wants to be. I am looking forward to this next year and at accomplishing new goals alongside Mark. We have not intending to make each other better people but I believe that the Lord has guided us and given us strength to overcome trials that have improved us as people regardless of the struggle. Maturity has been thrust upon us no matter how hard we struggled against it. I just want to say thank you to all of our friends and family who have been there to babysit, to visit with, to help us move and to support us. I also want to say thank you to Mark and Daniel for making my life meaningful and interesting. I love you.

Boy or Girl?

Just so you all know we will find out what we are having on May 4th! We had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and everything is looking good I just have low blood pressure so my body just needs to play a little catch-up but we are doin well and can't wait to find out what we are having. Any guesses?...honestly we would love another boy but it would be fun to experience having a girl. Also we are planning on attempting a vbac. Any suggestions? I have heard horror stories and good happy endings... so we are going to pray about it and decide later but we value the opinions of our friends and family.

FISHING!!!
















We are getting excited for this years fishing season so I thought I would post a few of my favorite pictures of our fishing quests.

I am so tired!

Do you ever have those times where you just want to sleep all day? That is how I feel 24/7! I am constantly not exciting enough for Daniel who just wants to wrestle, play baseball and run outside. I have my second Dr. appointment today so hopefully he can give me some energy info! Then after today I get to schedule my ultrasound!!! Things I will not miss when we have the baby and I am no longer pregnant....
1-low energy level
2-peeing in the middle of the night
3-not fitting into my underwear and clothes
4-sleeping on my back or side all the time
5-acne!!!...oh wait... that's right... I'll have that for the rest of my life.
I am almost 4 months now...well next week I will be. Time flies by with your second! That is one thing I have to look forward to. Any volunteers to come live with me and be my helper when this baby is born? HAHAHA....Just kidding. My parents are moving back to Rigby next month so I will have help, just not the middle of the night kind unless you count Mark. He has been getting up with Daniel every night since the first month of my pregnancy...lucky me! Now I just need to start slipping him pills so he can lactate and feed the baby too! hahaha, yuck... I just grossed myself out!
