I Can't Keep it a Secret any Longer...

We're having a BABY GIRL!!!


(I'm 20 weeks this Thurs. and due Aug. 12th)

Attempting to catch up...

Wow--I've been so horrible at blogging lately! I can't believe that I haven't posted anything since before Valentine's Day! I take lots of pictures but then I get busy and don't upload them. This is my feeble attempt to catch up...

Valentine's Day was pretty low-key this year. Our kids were sick so we didn't do much. We got take out from Panda Express on Sat. and then Sun. (the actual V-day) we just had a nice dinner at home. Caleb surprised me with chocolates when I came home from ward choir.

It's kind of a tradition that I make Caleb cinnamon rolls (his favorite) on V-day.

Caysja had a little V-day party with her preschool group. She LOVED it and carried the bag you see here around for days afterward.

My crafty friends and I got together and made these fun banners.

I told Caleb that all I wanted for Valentine's was to go to the ballet and see Sleeping Beauty. Well, since he wasn't too thrilled about going with me, we made a girl's night of it. Here I am with my good friends Britni, Kristy, Alissa and Joanna. It was beautiful.

Here are some of the dancers.
(Excuse the random people posing with them--it was the only way I could get a pic.)

Our weather has been perfect! My good friend Kristy and I decided to hike the trails at Thunderbird Conservation Park one day.

Our girls did great and made it all the way to the top! (The way down though was torture as Caysja was hot, tired, etc. and wouldn't stop whining about it...)

Crew loves to sit on Caleb's motorcycle

Caleb took Caysja on a little motorcycle ride all by herself. She had a blast!

My very crafty friends helped me with some fun sewing projects...

Crew got his second hair cut--this time by daddy

We've been trying to take advantage of the "culture passes" available at the library since we thought the program was ending April 1. Apparently now the program has been extended for another year--yeah!

Here we are the Taliesin West--Frank Lloyd Wright's school of Architecture in Scottsdale. It was pretty interesting, but not so fun for kids.

Whew! I think I'm pretty caught up now!
