Welcome to our family sweetheart!

Oh, how we love you so....

(we sure make 'em cute, don't we?)

March 24th....I can't wait!!

Yep, that's right....we're having another girl! To say that we're surprised would be a huge understatement. See....about 5 weeks ago we had an ultrasound and were pretty sure we saw something "down there". We have been racking our brains for the perfect boy name and just when we decided for sure, this baby threw us for a loop! Now we'll be racking our brains for the perfect girl name. One that's sweet but not too sweet, one that will fit her throughout her entire life, one that she'll never be ashamed of, and one the actually means something to her and gives her something to live up to. Naming babies is so hard!

Introducing....

We just wanted to introduce all of you to the newest addition to our family. We are beyond excited and still in shock a little bit! I am 10 weeks along today and not feeling so great, but that's okay. Our due date is March 21, 2010...which seems forever away but will come before we even know it!

Our one and only camping trip of 2009

We went camping and had a great time! It was so nice to get away for a little bit and enjoy each other. Emily LOVED everything to do with camping...the creek, the fire, the tin foil dinners, the s'mores, and mostly...the tent. She thought sleeping in a tent was the best thing ever and wants to do it every night now. (Which is tempting because she hasn't slept that great in weeks!)

Days off are the best!!

Things Geoff gets to do when he has a Saturday off...

Sleeps past 4:30 am

Enjoys some scrumptious dutch oven cooking

Watches basketball...even though the Cavs lost

Sits on his rear-end for most of the day

Oh...and he has a blast at the park....

Can't you just feel the glee gushing out of him?? Days off are the best!!

Memorial Day weekend

Our holiday weekend began with a quick drive up to Rexburg for the baptism of Benny, our sweet sister-in-law's little brother. Benny has been through some tough things and is now permanently living with Russ and Amber. How proud we are of Benny for making such an important decision to be baptized! I love baptisms! The spirit is so strong and I always come away from them wanting to be a better person.

On Monday we had a great time spending it with family. The Meredith family has a tradition of visiting Jeanie's grave and then heading over to Tastee-Treat for some yummy ice cream. I love this tradition!
Afterwards, we enjoyed a BBQ with the entire family....except Rex & Jeigh :(. Emily had so much fun playing with her cousins!!

Emily's new "eyes"

These are Emily's new eyes. She absolutely loves them! And I love that she calls them "eyes"!
