Big News

I am such a slacker, I know. I haven't been very good about updating our blog but I have really good reasons:
#1--I have been so busy for the past few weeks that I really haven't known if my head was screwed on straight. I'm coordinating a dinner for 240 people in a couple weeks and I've been trying to figure that out, I started trying to potty train Jonathan, and life is just busy and it's all my fault.

#2--Family visits and my husband out of town mean that all routine stops or at least gets seriously messed with. It's a bad habit but it's true. Hyrum is my motivation to get things done and we're so thankful for that.
#3--I've been battling morning sickness. Nut #3--Almond, will be joining our family around October 28th. (If your confused about the nut thing I'll explain later.) I hope the baby comes early enough that I can dress it up in our pumpkin costume I made for Jonathan for Halloween. I'm not out of the woods yet but I am feeling much better and even managed to run on Monday morning. Hopefully that will become more regular again.

So in the last month I finished my tree skirt after 15 months of working on it. Then I realized that since we'll be in NY for Christmas, I won't get to use it this year. I am all caught up on my blocks of the month. I finished a little receiving blanket for the baby. I've gotten started on a couple more sewing projects and we're working on our summer vacation plans. We also planted tomatoes, twice, carrots, garlic, and beans in our garden. We're excited about that.

The weather has gotten nicer so we've been spending our afternoons at the park with friends which is always nice. Last weekend we celebrated Easter by listening to General Conference. We realized that we have to figure out something different because we didn't get a whole lot out of it with our kids around. We're looking forward to reading it and listening to it later. Listening to the Prophet and apostles and other Church officers was sure a great way to remember the Savior and his sacrifice.

Life is good. It is really busy but we are doing well. We really excited about our new little one. We are slowly making steps to make sure that our home is big enough for all of us.
