Baby Makes Three

So I have finally put some items for sale on my Etsy store. My sister-in-law Emily said she had a few people wanting to order so I thought I better set something up! My little models ( my niece Kate and Aubrey) look cute up there though.  It's nothing much but it was fun to see that 2 users added me to their favorites before I was even done posting last night! Although that may be about the only activity I get...there are a lot of stores out there. Anyway, just for fun...check it out.

BIG NEWS!

Ha! Nope, I ain't got nothing. But I can give you a little Red for your enjoyment...

Dear Red,
I noticed that Brother Wright is teaching a celestial marriage class this semester. I don't really want to be in the class as much as I want to be "in the class" if you know what I mean. How can I make sure I do so?
Celestial Aspirations

Dear Celestial,
Hm...yes, I think I know exactly what you mean and here is what I have to say: if you really want to be 'living' the class rather than just sitting in you need to get the ball rolling with some top notch dates. On a completely unrelated note, I am totally free this weekend...
If you want it here it is,
Red


Dear Red,
In a battle between Batman and Brigham Young who would stand victorious?
Comic-ly Curious

Dear CC,
First of all I can't think of any possible reason these two would ever come head to head but, nevertheless, if such an Armageddous event occurred then I'm pretty sure even Batman's mystical cape and super stealthy moves do not stand a chance against the power of God.
Holy Apostasy Batman,
Red

where'd summer go?

So, Kari has accused me of abandoning this blog for my own. Funny enough, I think I've just pretty much been lazy with both these past few months. You guys just have way more exciting stuff going on... I'm so excited for all the babies :) Anyway, to prove my loyalty, I'm posting these pictures here first... :)

A few weeks ago we did make it to another Brett Dennen show. He was actually opening for John Mayer. Colbie Caillat also opened, which was a nice surprise since I didn't even know until we got there. We took a quick weekend trip to Houston for the concert. It turned out to be a lot of fun. It kind of gave me the concert fever again though -- so now I have already planned a couple more shows... The next being Weezer in September. I've always wanted to see them live so I am super excited.
Here's a picture of us waiting for the show. My favorite part was that it was at an outside amphitheatre. It was a little warm, but a pretty night to enjoy a show.

Anyway, other than that... Doug and I have been super addicted to the Olympics these past few weeks. I'm totally bummed that those are over now. We also joined a gym - 24 hour Fitness (so we can work out around the clock... HA - yeah, right.) We've been several times now and I'm really enjoying it. It's actually my first time to commit to a gym membership and we actually paid for 2 years, so I'm trying to stay motivated. I'd really like to get in better shape and lose a few of the pounds that I've put on in the last few months. Never hurts to tone up a bit... We took these awful pictures so we can check out the "before" and "after" shots. If results are good... maybe you'll be privledged enough to see those. I'd say your chances are one in a million.

By the way... have any of you seen Stephanie lately? She is looking freaking hot.

Here's some pictures of us at dinner the other night when we got together with our local ladies... (Careful, my white legs may just blind you)






Anyway, I miss everyone -- Our April reunion already feels like it was FOREVER ago!! Can't wait until our next get-together!

We are having a baby ...

Well yesterday was a big day for us. My brother Max went into the MTC. I had flashbacks being in Provo and driving past the Raintree apts. Brad and I were so glad that we got to go with Max to the MTC. The little oreintation they do with the missionarys and family is so uplifting and afterwards I wanted to go on a mission then I remembered that I am not 21 anymore and oh yeah I have a husband and children. It was also neat because Brad went into the MTC 9 years ago almost to the date. He had a little PTSD about being back there. So as if that wasn't enough excitement for one day, we drove back home to go to our doctor's appt. I am 16 weeks along and we know what that means! Time to find out what we are having. The doctor noted that Brad was more nervous at this appointment than he is in the delivery room. Well I am pleased to annouce that after three little boys we are getting a little girl! It is hard to beleive and I think I need to go buy something pink or purple to get me in the right frame of mind. I have to apologize to Lizzy because I think she is the only one I have not told about being prego.... again. I am due on Feb. 5th. We are very excited. I will try to write more later because we went on vacation last month to North Carolina and I have a lot of fun pictures to share.

privacy!

We finally got our new plantation shutters installed today. I think they look fabulous, although it is a little strange after having no window coverings for 3 months now. It's great though, because I can tilt them open for lots of light, or leave them closed for maximum darkness. They even hinge open completely for cleaning or viewing ease. Here are a few pictures of our latest (and most expensive) home investment to date:

Ole!

Owen received his mission call today. He will be serving in the Mexico, Torreon mission (Spanish speaking of course) and will enter the Provo MTC on November 19th. We're so excited for him and know he will be a wonderful missionary. Soon he will be able to speak Spanish with Brett and Steve! Now he just has to find a job and be patient for the next 13 weeks.:)

Sarah - please forgive me...

My Dear , sweet Sarah: Sorry this is sooo late. I lost track of this month. Hope you had a great birthday! Love you!
