It's a boy!!!!!!!!! I am due around Feb. 25th. Apologies to those who I haven't called yet to share the news!
A bashful smile as I show off my stomach!



So 5 1/2 months along, Devin followed his determined wife up the mountain. Normally it is the other way around but I have been dying to hike Timp and the day before the weather was great. As you can see we ran into snow so we made it to Emerald Lake 61/2 miles hike up before we turned back. We had 2-3 more miles to the peak but the day was closing and my thighs were burning. The baby and I are doing great!


We had fun camping with the family, cheering on BYU on seats donated by Dad Wilkey, and celebrating Devin's Birthday. (Check out the cake, it tasted better than it looked.)

We made it back to Utah in the 2nd week of August. Mom and Dad Wilkey were soooo kind to let us move in for an entire month...wow they had to put up with a lot. However, they kept Devin busy with projects and I helped out a little here and there. The baby was then 3 months in the making and I was feeling great up until 5 pm:)


Uncle Jay gave great shooting lessons and then let us take his 4-wheelers for a spin! You should have heard mom Brock scream when I accelerated on the 4-wheeler. The men were rougher, looking at the above picture, and us girls were just as tough but still girls.


Devin was a popular one with the nieces and nephews at the Brock reunion, also in Montana. He did actually let them hold the rod.

We had another fun Wilkey reunion at Flying Cloud Ranch in Montana! We went on a fun scavenger hunt, completed a ropes course, and enjoyed family time.





Fun and important stops along our way through Montana. We sure love the Flynns! We loved being with Grandma Rose and watching the cousins ride beautifully!



Last minute activities before we left our second home in Indiana. Fishing...top of the list, Ropkey Armory Museum, and the Indiana Zoo! Those are petting sharks and Devin's face looks like the predator's next to him.

SORRY, NEW POSTS COMING SOON!

Last night we returned to Utah. We have been on the road for the last two weeks and haven't had access to the internet. The summer internship is completed. The managers at both Wabash and Westfield that Devin worked with were very pleased and felt he added value to the company with his work on Sustainability Practices and Emergency Recovery Plans. Janene also left a great impression after reforming the very disorganized motor pool rental system. It was a great summer, full of new opportunities.

We feel a little lost without another interstate to travel. Now we are trying to figure out how to be responsible and find new jobs, housing, and schooling details. We really enjoyed both family reunions in Montana. Hamilton and Wise river were beautiful when we could see through the smoke. We miss the rural areas and cool weather already. Family games, river running, 4wheeling, the 4-H fair, museum, and treasure hunting were all great. Most of all we just enjoyed seeing family after being away all summer. We also enjoyed seeing The Midwest, the Black hills, Mt Rushmore, amazing wildlife, and lots of bikers.

Last of all and most important of all! It is now public information that Janene is officially very pregnant! Sorry if we have not been able to contact you. We told the families officially in Montana. We don't have all the details yet, but the baby will likely be due in March very close to the due dates of Natalie, Heidi, and Jonelle! Janene is hoping for twins to Devin's dismay and neither of us are sure if a boy or girl would be best for the first round.

Love you all and we will keep you posted.

Can't sleep...too excited for tomorrow's day at King's Island in Cincinnati. Fast rides!

Rain...rain...go away! Come again some other day! We woke up to a thunder storm and rain.



We made it! We weren't sure if we liked roller coasters after our first ride where our heads literally went spinning. However, after taking some Ibuprofen, we had a blast! We also enjoyed the water park and the ice-skating show.


You have to check this out. This made front page news in Crawfordsville.
A tractor fell into the loosely covered hole at Wabash College.

Janene's first baseball game!

Looks good from the outside but you should smell the inside thanks to the dog that once lived here.
