Yay, we have renters!!!

Today we signed contracts with a family to rent our house! We are so excited that everything is falling into place - and so quickly. We will be moving July 22nd (as long as we get the place we are trying for). Now it is on to packing and cleaning and...

Thank you all for the prayers and good wishes!

We Are Moving!!!

So, my hubby was offered a job yesterday way up north and we decided to go for it! We Are Moving!!! We are excited, nervous, anxious and overwhelmed with everything we need to get done. But, we are ready for a new adventure.

I think our biggest challenge will be our house. We can't sell it for what we owe. So, we will have to rent it out for now.

So, if anybody is interested in renting our house, or if you know anybody who wants to move into this area, PLEASE let us know!!! The sooner the better.

Jakobi and Schon are excited, but they are really going to miss all their friends at church, school and our neighborhood. (We live in a very friendly neighborhood with lots of children!)

Well, off I go to start decluttering, cleaning and packing! Wish me luck!

A Great Inspiring Message

Okay, so a while ago I said I love inspiring messages. Well, that is still true. I love the Mormon Messages videos. If you have not seen "My New Life" you have to see it! I need reminders like this to really keep in mind the true meaning of life - Love, Family, Life!

You can watch it on her blog Here.

Or on Mormon Messages Here.

Here is a quick quote from Stephanie...

"I view my role now as more Divine, as something more, not just a mother who wakes up and makes her kids food. And it's a mother who enriches and teaches about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But it's a priveledge and I see it more as a priveledge than anything."

It is a priveledge to be a mother. It is challenging to be a mother. A mother of any kind. It is a Divine calling - Mother, Aunt, Grandma, Teacher. If I can remember this, day by day, it will make those mornings easier when I wake up just to make my kids food!

I hope that I will continually improve on enriching and teaching my children the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I want them to have the sweet peace that the Spirit brings. We all need this Spirit in our lives - more and more each day. God does love each one of us. He will show us this love if we are open to it.

Is it ONE, TWO, or POSSIBLY....


At the first of the year I announced that I had two goals... One of them was to gain weight... By being pregnant. Well, I am definitely pregnant (hopefully I won't regret announcing this to the world, I am only about 7 weeks along!). I am working on the gaining weight part, but it is proving difficult since everything smells and makes me nauseous, i.e. morning sickness!

But, the biggest questions when one gets pregnant these days, at least in my family, is whether it is ONE, TWO, or POSSIBLY...... Okay, so our ultra-sound this morning showed only ONE fetus! (These are not actually my ultra sound pictures, but I thought that a few pictures here would be nice!)


We are very excited and it is nice to get that first question of ours answered. Our whole family crowded into the tiny exam room and we all got to see our growing baby and hear his/her heartbeat.

Now onto our next questions... Is it a boy or girl? What will we name her/him? I guess we will have to continue being patient while our baby grows!

Our due date is December 21st. Just in time for Christmas and taxes!!!
