fellow co-workers...

On Monday my girlfriends got together for lunch, which we try to do at least once a month, but this month we were all able to make it! YEAH! I worked with these ladies right after Mark and I got married for about a year and a half and we have stayed in touch!! This month was a special month because Cindy is getting married next week and then five out of the seven of us are pregnant! And we are hoping Holly is next to make the announcement! :) So we have babies due in January, March, April, and May!
me, Holly, Kate, Jenny, Cindy, Cortney, and Heidi
I love you girls!

**Attention**

Hello everyone! I just wanted to make you aware that I have less than 100 days left in my pregnancy!! I am really excited and just wanted to share, hee hee! Also I have put on the side of my blog all of my growing pictures because I am now at 26 weeks! Hope everyone is doing great!

Thought this was interesting! I have always wondered...

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MARK!

Today is a special day at our house because it is Mark's 30th birthday! I am always giving him a hard time by telling him that he is officially old!! hee hee But I hope he knows that I love him anyway! I want to let everyone know what a WONDERFUL husband and dad he is. He puts up with a lot from Tanner and I, but mostly me! He works hard, long hours and still comes home with a smile on his face. I truly appreciate all that he does for our family! And I am very grateful for his strength and testimony in the gospel! We Love You, Mark!

adventure...

Today I made bread all by myself!! That is without any help (except Tanner) especially without my mother-in-law...but luckily she is only a phone call away! Thanks to her wonderful teaching abilities I was able to have the confidence to do it! And I think they turned out rather nice...now I just hope they taste okay ha ha

think BLUE!!

IT'S A BOY! 100% sure because we got a between the legs shot first thing! Tanner didn't believe it at first and even told the lady doing the ultra sound that she was wrong because it was a girl. So after a lot of convincing he kind of accepted it and by the end kept telling Mark, "I guess you were right dad!" "But I wanted a baby sister." So I think he is starting to come to terms with it now and is really excited to start picking out names!

my camera is acting up and so this is the clearest picture I could get, sorry...

my two boys

pre-school has started...

Tanner had two big things happen to him today and one was pre-school! He was so excited to see Ms. Janet again and didn't have a problem saying bye...not that he does anyway. He likes it when I leave him places but I try not get offended :)
here he is before we leave...

had to show off his backpack...

My little boy is growing up a little to fast and learning a lot way to quickly! But we love him all the same!

I just want you all to know how lucky you are that I am willing to put these pictures on the internet...so please don't laugh or be in shock!! (even though I am...hee hee)

labor day fun!

First we started our day out with mom teaching me how to make bread!! Which was tons of fun! and I also realized how easy it really is....so I have no more excuses to why I can't make homemade bread! Then we went out shooting (clay pigeons) and had fun until is started raining and then we had to come home.

15 weeks along (it has been couple of weeks...sorry...I am now 17 weeks)

up at grandma's for the 24th of July...we didn't bring his swimming suit so he borrowed from Amber...hee hee. I put this on especially for mark! It drives him crazy that he was wearing pick shorts, but he wasn't there so he didn't really have a say!
