We're having a.......

I'm always amazed at seeing the baby in the womb. Watching them move and seeing how much they are growing and developing.
Here is the profile of our SON. We are having a BOY!!!! I think we are both still in shock. We are so excited to welcome this new baby into our lives in December. He's already been such a blessing and I know he will continue to be.

A boy or a girl?

Tomorrow we find out if we will be adding a boy or a girl to our family. Life is good. Real good.

Family Time

Stranded at the gas pump

For my family's reunion last week we spent a few days up in Park City. As we were traveling home we needed to stop and gas up the car. We got off the freeway and saw a few gas stations but decided not to stop until the light came on.

Once the light came on we were going to go to a 7-11. But missed the turn so kept on driving until we got to a Phillips 66. After we had filled up we tried to start the car. Nothing. We've had this problem before with our car and it usually works after you pour coke on it. But we had no success.

Wes went back in and asked the checker if she had jumper cables. She did not. We were stranded at the gas pump. Unsure of what to do. Turns out right at the moment a gentleman was paying for somethings and he worked at the Goodyear right across the street. He came out and looked at our car and went to grab some tools from the shop. He came back with tools and a new connector for our battery. This sweet stranger took 30 minutes out of his day to come over and help us. He didn't have to but he did.

After replacing the connector the car did start. He told us we shouldn't have any more issues or trouble for a while. As he was leaving Wes tried to give him some money for his help and kindness. But he would not accept it.

We could have stopped at any gas station. But we ended up at this one. I know that this man was there at that time to help us. He was our angel at the gas station. It was because of his kindness and concern that we were no longer stranded at the gas pump. So, thank you kind sir. For helping me and my family. I will never forget the service you rendered to us.

Pool Hopping

This past week we've been spending time with my family.

The guys: Wes, Bruce and Matt

Koda decided to get in the swimming pool but he wasn't so sure about it.

The guys decided to have a diving contest in the pool.

Clutter

That's about how my life feels right now. Cluttered. I often find myself wondering about what's to come. Moving, packing, nursing school, adjustment, and a new baby. I told Wes 2 years ago that I would go anywhere we needed to so he could get his schooling done. And we are doing just that. It's been quite the adventure. And yet I've learned so much while on this journey that I wouldn't have learned if we had stayed in American Fork.

So when I have those days when I'm overwhelmed with what's to come I think about the things we've been blessed with. That's when it all makes it worthwhile. No matter how cluttered life seems to be.

Our Secret

We've been keeping a big secret for 4 months. I thought I would let Sophie share the big news. With a cute outfit made by yours truly.

Sophie is going to be a big sister! We are going to have another baby! Words can't express how grateful I am for this new life that will join our family in December.

She gets this from her Daddy, it's only done while concentrating really hard.
