Happy Birthday Alec!

Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet boy Alec! This picture says it all, he is one happy kid. We love him so much and couldn't imagine our lives without him.

Our Little Miracle

On Friday, June 4, I went in for my first ultrasound. As we started the ultrasound my doctor could see I was pregnant but we could not see any baby. I held my breath as this was not the first time this had happened. My first pregnancy had been the same, my body thought I was pregnant but there was not a baby forming. With a heavy heart, I accepted the fate and we talked about how to proceed. My doctor of course wanted to check blood levels to see if they were going up like they should be.

That weekend Tony and I fasted and prayed that we would know how to proceed and that my body would be able to take care of what needed to happen. We also fasted for our doctor that she would be inspired in her care. We felt such peace and love and knew everything would be alright. As we waited for a phone call the following Tuesday, the doctor talked with me about my blood levels that they weren't conclusive in showing I would miscarry. I talked with her about concerns of being out of town and miscarrying. We decided to schedule a D&C so that my body would be able to heal quickly.

I got another phone call that day from the nurse telling me that the doctor really would like to do another ultrasound. I protested since we knew what was happening and I just didn't have the heart to see nothing there. The doctor insisted and so I went in trusting her judgement. As I lay there watching the screen, sure enough there was our little miracle baby, heart beating away. The doctor said, I knew that baby was in there.

I am so grateful to an inspired doctor and a loving Heavenly Father that knew this little baby was supposed to come to our home. I am due on January 17, 2 days after my birthday. We are so excited!

MS Bike Ride

Tony had the opportunity to ride the MS Bike Ride this year in support of our sister in law Ashley. Ashley was diagnosed with MS shortly after she had her son Logan. This was Tony's second 100 mile bike ride this year and he did fantastic! We were so proud of him and his accomplishment. Thank you to everyone that supported him in this race and Ashley!

Summer Jobs

For most of us when we think of summer during our teenage years, we think of our summer jobs. Most of us can say that we sure didn't want to make a career out of them. My first two summers were spent cleaning hotel rooms. I was horrible at it, why maybe it was the horific outfits I had to wear or the creepy men that lurked around. Anyway, Krista and Misty have really wanted a job but with the economy nothing is available. Yesterday, was the job fair for Lagoon. I don't think any teenager really wants to work at Lagoon but its a pretty much shoe in at least they thought.

I drove them to the Junior High where the job fair was being held as we turned the corner I could see the line. There had to be at least 4-500 people there. For Lagoon? It must be bad out there. Well 4 hours later and the line being cut off literally right behind them for consideration, they have a job! I am excited for them. Now when they are my age they can look back and laugh at the summer jobs. Yah for Lagoon!

Preference

We had the pleasure of chaperoning Preference at the Highschool on Saturday. Misty is on student council and they were in charge of the dance. We had a great time and when do we ever get a chance to dress up? I did feel old though.

Happy Valentines Day!

I sure love my sweetie. He gave me these beautiful flowers and necklace. It was a wonderful Valentine's Day!

My Man

So I know Tony will be totally embarrased but I just had to share his accomplishment. We have been doing weight watchers together since beginning of October and he has lost over 50 lbs. Crazy! Here is a before and a current photo.
I am so proud of him! For myself I too have lost around 50 lbs but that is since I had the baby does that count? Isn't Alec so cute in his BYU jersey? Go BYU!
