It's A.................................

..............................





We had our ultrasound today and everything looked great!! The baby is healthy so we couldn't be happier. and definatly my kid as the hands were constantly covering her/his face so people wouldn't look at her/him. :)

We decided we wanted this baby- our last- to be a surprise!! I held my ground, Ryan waivered a little, but I got my way and we have no clue what kind of baby we will be getting in August!

We told the doctor we didn't want to know and he said he wouldn't tell us. The first half of the ultrasound he referred to the baby as "him". I was thinking this was totally subconscious and was convinced it was a boy. The second half she started withe the "she's" So now I'm all sorts of confused.

We will see come August!! Any Guesses?

Floored!

We finally got floored! I am so excited. The 90's vinyl floor is gone.
There were no tears shed!!

We created a walkway from the front door to the kitchen and got rid of the dirtiest carpet ever!!
I am so happy with the end result!

Gimme A Break!!

We were all excited for Spring Break this year!! A whole week off from school... Okay so maybe I was dreading it just a little bit!

We decided(Ok I decided) that we were going to go somewere. Our first choice was Yellowstone
but it would still be too cold this time of year we headed off to the next best place...




Salt Lake City.
Yup you heard me right. And Yes you can be jealous. We went on "vacation" 40 minutes away from our house. We did the tourist thing and ended up having a great time.

The first day we toured the Mrs Field cookie Plant
and the Sweets Candy Factory.
After our sugar high leveled off we headed to Kennecott! It was a really big hole. :)
The kids loved to watch the huge dumptrucks and diggers working.
We had to have the stadard picture by the BIG tire.
Then back to the hotel for SWIMMING! Safety First :)


Friday we started the day off at The Living Planet Aquarium,
followed by a ride on Trax for our train obsessed nephew.
Wowza there are some "Special, Scary, Strange" people who ride trax.

We got off at the Clarke Planatarium were we checked out the sights and visited a few different planets
before watching a 3D movie. This is were I found out that popcorn and my nephew Bryce don't mix! Okay so Amber found out!! :) After another eventful ride on trax back to the cars.
We headed back to the hotel for more swimming.


Saturday we headed to Logan and took in the cheese factory, pepperidge farms, did a little (or a lot) or shopping and of course more swimming!
The dads were starting to get "swimmed out". I didn't know that was possible!

We headed home on sunday, It turned out to be a good break!!
