Time Flies!

Well, lets just say that it was a very busy month!! (But very good too!) Billy Graduated from BYU with his degree in business management at the end of April. I am so proud of him! He graduated on a friday, and started full time work on Monday. He is such a hard worker and takes such good care of the Baby and I. He is enjoying work and tries to find a few hours in every week to brush up on his new found love...golf.

Billy's favorite person to golf with is his Dad...this is beautiful Hobble Creek, one of Billy's favorites.

I had my High School dance concert at the end of April as well, and it was really busy, but so fun. (It did not help that it was scheduled for the same day as Billy's Graduation.) The girls did a great job and I am going to miss teaching them so much next year...but it is all for the best.


My little sister Kelsey got married which was a major highlight in the month! The whole thing was so beautiful and we are so excited to have Evan as a part of the family!! I wish I had pictures...but I don't. Kel was a georgeous bride! (I will work on getting some to post...but in the mean time check out Jake and Mandy's blog. I know they posted a few.)

I have also been working on a quilt for the baby's crib. I found this great fabric at IKEA that I could not resist. It has been a fun little project for me. I still need to figure out the rest of the bedding and room, but this is a start.


Things with our new house are moving along. Here are some pictures to show the progress. We are so excited!

This is our land at the beginning of May...I can't believe we own this dirt!

This is a picture of us with our hole a week and a half ago.

...and here is Billy with our new foundation just a few days ago. This little piture underneath shows our new address, and our name on the property. Hooray!

Well we get kicked out of our apartment next weekend and will be moving up to alpine for about two months while our house gets finished. We are really excited to be closer to our families, and they will be such a great help when the baby comes.

Speaking of baby...wow we are really going to have one. I only have 6 weeks left. I am getting a little nervous about the whole labor and delivery thing, so if you have any helpful hints or pointers please let me know. I am feeling a little bit squished...but I prefer this by far to being sick everyday.

Ice cream...the only thing keeping this baby alive...or maybe it's keeping me alive. :)

I will be finishing up teaching school this week, and I am really excited for summer so that I can really start to focus my whole attention on this baby. We are so excited for her to be in our lives...but sometimes I just can't believe that it will be real. This little moving person on the inside will really be on the outside...and will keep me up in the night much more than she does now. This week I had my family baby shower and it was so fun. It was at mom De Groot's house and we played games...including a game to help me name this baby...still undecided. Everyone was so generous and I can't imagine how I would ever get through the emotional let alone financial part of bringing a baby to earth without all of this great support. Thank you so much everyone!


This is Billy's sister Keri. She is due about a month after we are, and it has been so fun to share this pregnancy together! (Billy's younger sister Erin is also expecting...so the three of us have alot to talk about. Erin is in Arizona but will be spending some time here in the summer!)


Well, I wanted to give you a brief update on our lives...and let you know that we are still here. I am hoping with the summer I will have more time to write. Lets face it, I need to get lots of great parenting and hospital tips...so those posts are to come. Until then, thanks for checking back to our blog after more than a month of no posts. I really will get better at this!
