A Growing Family

Keeping up on the blog is definitely not my strong point but I am setting a new goal to update it more often. The last few weeks have been awesome because my sister Rebecca and her family came up from Arizona to visit and we all had a week of family reunion fun! We went to the Zoo and had a party for Eli and Connor and went to my brothers school play, which was excellent. This week we where planning on a family vacation to Utah but did not make it because I have not been doing so well on car trips....which brings me to the our exciting news WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY!!!! we are very excited, Eli will be a great big brother. We found out way back before valentines day but have been getting insurance all figured out so I am finally going to go to the doctor next Tuesday at which point I will try to remember to post the due date!

Mitchell is officially a Certified teacher now and starting right after spring break he will be teaching night school classes in math to high school juniors and seniors at Skyview high school. I am so proud of my man! He passed his student teaching with flying colors and Enjoys working with everyone there. Several people had to put in extra effort to get his teacher certification before school starts up after spring break Thank you! He is going to start applying for jobs ASAP. I personally like the idea of Wyoming which has lots of outdoors recreation opportunities and is not too far away from family.
We are so excited for conference weekend the next six months or so are going to be quite fun and adventurous for our young family. I need all the inspiration I can get from conference. I have been praying for the speakers and cant wait for a weekend to spiritual uplifting without the tights and high heals! Also Sunday is Eli's 1st Birthday and I cant wait to open the shutterfly book I made him. It was so much fun to make it, and easy and looked fabulous! If the actual printed book turns out as cute as it looked when I sent it in to print I could be in trouble I think I will want to do them all the time!
Eli walks so well I cant keep up with him and wants to go play "aide" outside every ten min even when its very early very cold and very wet. He has thrown his first several tantrums usually because we wont take him outside. He is growing and learning and we love him
