Check it out...

So we had our first ultrasound today... so exciting! And the big news... We are having a GIRL!!!! We are so excited! We don't have a name yet, but are throwing a couple around. Here is a shortened video of our ultrasound... we seriously cut out like half of it. But it was so amazing and surreal to see... there is actually a tiny little baby girl in there... crazy but amazing! Enjoy...

Hmmm....

So, it has been a while... again. I am not very good at keeping this thing current and up to date. It has been busy since school started back up... plus being pregnant makes you exhausted...all the time! This picture is for my mother...



Me at 19 weeks. So almost half way there. We find out what it is going to be October 22nd. I can't wait... neither can my mom(she has a Carter's coupon that she is dying to use). :)

Its been a while....

Kenny and I are both working full time at APX and going to school, so life has been crazy. But we have managed to squeeze in some time for fun as well....

GOLFING WITH THE RIGBYS


erin and me







Fourth of July with the Rigbys-we grilled some burgers then went and watched the boys set off fire works. Tons of fun!




Kenny and Brian doing their thing...




Kenny stoked by the lights... :)

GRILLING- Kenny got a small grill for his birthday and since we grill at least once a week... he is getting to be quite the grill master. So yummy!

To the Mothers.....

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!

i know this is late, but that is what you get for taking a swig of rancid milk (you get sick and do not get to blog about you Mother and Mother-in-law until the day after).

We have not really gotten to spend a lot of time with Kenny's Mom since being married (thanks to the dang green card) but every time we do I am amazed by her. She is such a hard worker and awesome mother! She is always so kind, sweet, and willing to help. She cares so much about her kids and is always taking care of everything and everyone. She is an amazing mom. Plus, she raised Kenny and he is so absolutely fabulous and amazing...so clearly, an indicator

First of all, sorry about this picture mom. But i absolutely LOVE it!

But anyways, sometimes after i do something Kenny will tell my that it reminded him of my mom or that my mom would do it the same way. i love getting these comments. i truly aspire to be like my mother. she is such a good example to me with her constant service and care for others, her strong foundation in the gospel, and her steadfastness in standing for what is right. she is the most amazing women ever. she was my best friend all growing up. she is always there to just listen when i need to talk and give comforting advice. she knows just what to say and is usually right. she has always been there supporting and helping me feel like i can accomplish anything. i would not be the person i am today had it not been for her influence.

WE LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!

best sunday school comment ever...

Last Sunday, Kenny and I taught the Marriage and Family Development class at church. The lesson was on Family finance/budgetting. During the tithing portion of the lesson, one of the girls said the best sunday school comment ever! She was talking about how paying a full tithe does not necessary mean we will not have any monetary challenges. We are promised blessings if we pay a full tithe, but that does not necessarily mean those blessings will be monetary... the Lord will bless us through different means as He sees fit. Anyways, this was her comment....

Even when we pay a full tithe, the Lord is not going bail us out of sticky situations. He is not Obama... we are responsible for managing our own finances.

Well said!

Hello & Goodbye

So 2 Saturdays ago we bought a fish and all of the supplies from Petsmart.

Pretty blue.

Named him Cougar.

1 Saturday ago, he died after a two day struggle to get to and stay at the bottom of the tank (he would try to go down, get half way there then just float back up... it was sad to witness).

Saturday night after ice cream following the priesthood session of conference, we saw him...

Floating.

Belly up.

Non responsive to tapping and moving his bowl.

It was sad to see. It is always sad (for some)* when pets die (even though it was just a fish and had our landlord found out, we would have played the "but fish are not pets cards" real quick).

Here are pictures of the deceased....

*the see note section: others response to the death of the dear fish Cougar...Kenny- found it humorous and admitted to the desire of wanting to flush it on Friday....My mom, Aunt Jennifer, Chris, and Jessica- laughed hysterically without end....The Rigby's- offered to make me sushi

We (mostly, I) will miss you Cougar, you were fun to watch for the week.

My Wonderful Husband!

this is really late, but things have been rather busy. So Kenny bought me these flowers the day that i was sick... so sweet! Such an amazing guy... I am so lucky!

Thanks Kenny!
