Fun Day!
Steve learned how to wake surf. He did a great job (and looked good doing it!).On Saturday following a grueling first week of school (yes, first graders can be described as grueling) Steve and I headed up to his sister's lake house in Huntsville, UT. We had a great time watching the Olympics, eating, resting, and boating. It was such a blast to spend one of our last weeks of summer with our fun family. We feel so lucky to have such a great relationship with our family and to have some of them so close by. (To those who live farther away...WE MISS YOU ALL THE TIME!!!)
Our sweet niece, Sopia, was sick and grumpy the whole trip. Luckily I got a shot of her not screaming. It was so sad!
Mason, Olivia, and Bella just being cute. Olivia had a chance to wake surf with her dad...so cool!
Blogger is having a rough time today, but our other cute niece and nephew were there. We love you Chloe and Parker!

Preggo Update
Things are still going well. The nausea, for the most part, has passed. In its place has come an undying hunger. Seriously I feel like I am starving most of the day. I guess it's got to be better than kneeling in front of the porcelain gods.
Here's a picture of me at 14 weeks. I feel like I'm growing huge, but others have told me that I don't even look pregnant yet. What do you think? I find myself standing with my belly pushed out so I can start to look like I've got something in there. (P.S. I recognize that this is a horrible picture, please forgive me!)
Steve, by the way, is trying to keep up with all of my eating. By the end of this I think he wants to look like he's growing a little one, too.

A Mess, Some Flowers, and a Little Beauty
I realize that I still haven't posted pictures of our new house. Steve and I have not been very good about the "finishing touches" that would make me proud to show it off. I did decide, however, to show a picture of what our house looks like the week before I have to go back to work:
I have to apologize to Steve every couple of hours and promise him that this particular mess will be gone soon (only to be replaced by other messes to be sure!).
One more thing for those gardeners out there. I have these flowers in my backyard that we decided to keep because we were pretty certain that they are not weeds. We thought they were hollyhocks, but really have no idea! Anyway, if you have any idea what they are let me know! If they are weeds I'll be sad because now they have about a one inch diameter at the bottom and are taller than Steve.
I will end this post with some of our beautiful views of Mount Timpanogos from our back door. We feel truly blessed to live in such a gorgeous place!

Another Update
Well, I realized that I haven't written anything of substance in a while so I figured I should probably get on that.
We are now living in Midway, UT and still trying to get settled in. We are a little slow at getting unpacked, but we do love our condo and the town. My mom and sister were able to come this last weekend to help us decorate a little bit, which was so nice! I'll wait to post pictures until I'm happy with the way it looks! Tonight, however, we were able to go to the cute Heber farmer's market. It was fun and quaint and here were our spoils:
Yummy fresh peaches that are sweeter than dessert. We bought ice cream to put them on but I don't think they are going to make it that long!!!
I went to the doctor today and was able to hear the heartbeat of our little "cinnamon bear" as my doctor called the baby. It was the coolest thing to be able to feel my own heartbeat at the same time the nurse was getting the sound of my baby's heartbeat. Wow, what a miracle!
The pregnancy seems to be going pretty well. I am starting to feel better (meaning being sick for fewer hours in the day) which makes me very happy. I didn't think I was having any weird cravings (or so I thought) until I realized how Steve was looking at me when I told him what I wanted for dinner tonight: breakfast sandwiches and corn. I guess it was a little strange.

Although I do have more interesting things to post about, I have kind of a one track mind right now. I'm trying to buy books for my classroom library and am having a hard time. I've been looking on EBay but I am always outbid (I guess I'm not aggressive enough!). I was wondering where any of you moms and dads or teachers buy affordable books for your kids/classrooms. I still need to go to Deseret Industries, but I'm open to suggestions!

Congratulations!
Great job on the guesses...I am pregnant! Yes, I get to enjoy all of those fun and lovely symptoms, but I take great consolation knowing there is a little person (more of an alien right now) growing inside of me. I am fairly early along, just in my 10th week, so it's still pretty early. We're still in kind of the "scary stage," but we wanted to let everyone else in on the joy we've been feeling for the past few weeks. What a blessing! Keep us in your thoughts for the next few weeks as I finish up my first trimester.
So for now my
