Bathing suits just don't fit me like the used to...... :)
Holly took this of me on our Cache Valley Geneology trip. Wonderful fun, especially with Dustin along. ----I have less than 2 months left! Yay!

The bravest woman on Earth!

I took NateNate to church with me for the first time a week ago. Look at him in his little suit! Darling!

He moved and he grooved and he screeched and he grunted, but we lasted all through sacrament meeting. I was pleased. The secret? A few candies, a few snuggles, and a few squiggly toys. Oh! And the patience of Job. :)

A big belly and a courageous (or foolish) heart! :)

More energy than fireworks...

Nate's mom had her baby on July 1rst. So Mike and I have had the little scoundrel for the past 5 days. He has been sooooooo gooooood!!! That is until yesterday when his manic side began to show it's hyperactive and high pitched colors. There was no slowing him down.

Here is our little NateNate trying to sneak off the porch....which he NEVER does anymore unless he is manic. Our little naughtybody is indomitable!

Tiramisu

Marie came to visit for the first time in 2 years. I think during that entire time one of our staple pieces of conversation revolved around Tiramisu. Ah, what would our friendship be without that delectable custardy creamy heaven.

So, we made all these plans revolving around our tiramisu, but when the end of our visit came, we were so full we couldn't eat AND Marie even forgot to take her portion home. Guess our friendship had something else to hang on.....pasta. :)

Here we are.

There's somethin' in there!

My belly has been getting bigger for a while now--and I'm pretty sure I haven't been able to eat all that I truly want. For Heaven's Sake, I can't even eat my favorite ice cream!!! :)
I'm hoping this is proof that there is somethin' in my belly! :) And SHE is one healthy gal!

This was taken when I was about 18 week along or so. I am now 22 weeks-in my 5th month. Still moving and grooving. :)

It has been forever since I posted. Hopefully I can be a little more consistent...

Mike and I had a great Christmas. My highlights :

1. Forgotten Carols. I had seen it before, but it was Mike's first time. Great music and I loved that my man participated at the end, being completely out of his venue.

2. Ashley moved in and made us a delectable turkey Christmas Eve Dinner.

3. My Favorite! The picture above shows Mike and I at Festival of Trees with my class. I was busy keeping Trent happy while Mike strolled Cassie around. Cass absolutely adores Mike and it was so fun to see Mike interracting easily with my difficult and lovely kids!

Here is Mike and Cassie. Cassie LOVES boys in general, but no one makes her smile more than Mike!

Timpanogas

So pretty. Mike and I climbed Timpanogas up to the caves not too long ago. And we didn't die. I think I was pretty close a couple times. It's so steep. About 3 miles round trip.

It was fun going up but a lot more fun coming down. I decided that I must have burned so many calories that I don't need to exersize for a month. Wouldn't that be great? Exersize once a month and it did the trick? :)
