Since We've Been Home

Since We've Been Home

It has been so wonderful being home in Morgan. The girls are so happy with all there toys, and beds to sleep in. It truly was like Christmas Morning when we arrived they went around squealing look at this and look at that. I never knew how much we have until you live without it for four months. We are truly blessed or overindulgent one of the two. Since we have been home I dedicated myself to the yard for a week or so. It might not seem like it, but I weeded and planted a few things and weeded some more. I also have been getting the house ready for Baby Dean; Hurray, pregnancy is coming to an end. I am looking forward to having him in my arms instead of giving my heart burn and poking me in the ribs.
I really enjoyed going to the temple dedication and felt it a very unique experience to cancel church. I felt impressed to teach my children about the importance of the temple and so decided to take them down to Salt Lake so they could touch the temple and see the Christus. Makenna knew right what it was about and wanted to dress in her very best. It was adorable :) I told them that is where we get married and how special the temple is for us as a family to be together forever, very important with Jon being gone so long. They girls had a good time and then we stopped for ice cream afterwords which topped it all off.
This past weekend we headed down to Panquitch to visit my Dad and Kaycee who were working down there and to have a little down time. It was very beautiful and a fun vacation for the girls. I even did some 4-wheeling, as much as this belly would allow. Let's just say I wouldn't be sad if this baby came early ;)
Overall we are doing wonderful, Both the girls and I miss Jon a TON!!!!!! But I would rather be here than anywhere else and my family keeps me busy, I have done freezer corn and canned peaches with my Mom, painted a bench she gave me, and continue to have much much help. Thanks SOOOOO Much. We are looking forward to the next few weeks, hopefully I will get another post in before the baby comes!!

Last of Minnesota

Home From Summer Sales

It has been a long time since I updated the blog, but life has been busy. Since I last posted the girls and I attended Nicole's wedding down in Dallas where I got a pedicure, had a bachelorette party overnight, and did Nicole's hair for her wedding. It was so much fun, I haven't felt young like that in years. It was so fun just to be out with the girls. They got marride in the Dallas Temple which was beautiful then had a brief reception at a beautiful hotel. The trip was only over the weekend, but it was so nice to be with the family minus JON. I then came home to Minnesota where I started packing up to come home; we had a lot of fun activities including taking pictures at Lake Josephine and visiting the Butterfly exhibit with dad. Right before we left the office did the annual "Diving For Dollars" where they throw change into the pool and all the sales reps jump in and grab what they can. It is always fun to watch the guys bob up and down. This year dad treated us with ice cream. Thanks for sharing :) The next day my mom flew in and we took the journey home passing through Mount Rushmore yet again. I am now home and loving every minute of it. I only wish Jon were here to enjoy it with me. He will come the first of September, but is planning on doing the extension which could take him just about anywhere. I am due September 25 so he will have to be home by then. The baby has been moving lots and I am going to the Doctor on Monday after not having been for four months. I am sure everything is fine, but very excited to here a Doctor reassure me. Other than that life is simple and wonderful.
