Picture from last Ultra Sound

A few weeks I got a ultrasound in Provo. This place emails you the pictures and their server was down so I finally got them! Enjoy! I think I was 17 weeks then.









To end this post- I'm officially over half way done with this pregnancy! All downhill from here!

It's a BOY!!!!!

We are excited to announce that it is a boy! We are so excited to finally know what it is and can talk about it as a boy instead of an it! I thought for sure it was a girl but I think Bryson kinda thought it was a boy. One of my friends is due a few days after me and she found out what she was having and it made me not want to wait! So I decided to just go for it! The lady that did the ultra sound showed us the head, then the arm and then went down to the legs. As soon as she did this, we instantly knew it was a boy! He is not a shy one! I was worried that he would be in a bad position but thankfully he wasn't! I bought some ballons and made a poster to tell my students the good news! Most of them thought it would be a girl, so I gave treats to everyone who thought it was a boy! They were all pretty excited.

And of course I had to go to Build a Bear and get some boy clothes for our baby bear! They didn't have very cute baby clothes so I just got some regular ones!

Bryson was so excited to see all the new clothes....ha
This was last week after the temple. (18 weeks)
I love how maternity clothes make you look a lot bigger. Then you get in regular clothes and you just feel fat again. The joys! :)

Temple, Temple, Temple!!

We finally made it to the Draper Temple. It was so nice to finally go. It was beautiful and had such a great spirit to it! Every room was amazing and it felt so nice to be there with Bryson and his family. I love going to the temple and I wish I could go more often!

On the way to the temple, Bryson fell asleep holding my hand. I couldn't resist taking a picture. It was so funny because he kept the position after a let go.
This is the family after we went through. So nice!

Before we left. It was freezing!!
Bryson and I again. One last one in front of the temple! :)

Lindsey's Red Pants

To begin my story, let me tell you a little background info. My sister in law Lindsey bought some red skinny jeans. No one in the family really likes them. I guess we just haven't gotten into the new fashion. Her dad always is hiding him. He has put them up in high corners, underneath things and even taped them to the ceiling! The other week Bryson's parents went on a vacation and we watched over the kids, Lindsey was convinced that Keith had taken the pants with them. It was pretty funny. Anyway the night they came back we were all hanging out and watching the BYU basketball game (well the guys were). Amanda and I were talking and playing with her little girl when we decided it would be funny if we had Keith put on Lindsey's red pants. It didn't really take much convincing and it was hilarious! We were all laughing so hard, it was so worth it! Lindsey was gone with her friends that night and soon found the picture on Facebook of her dad in her pants! It made for a great night! Sorry and thanks Lindsey!

Basketball Games and Other fun!

We got to go to the Jazz game a couple weeks ago! It was a lot of fun. We decided that we still like BYU games better. A lot better environment. We sat next to a lady who had like 4 or 5 beers. I couldn't believe it! Anywho... Jazz won! Wahoo!

I think this picture was at 15 weeks.. Not the best of me but you can see our little bean growing!

BYU VS Utah game
We actually got there on time and got to see the pre show! It was so much fun!

Bryson and I at the game. Go Cougars!

Bryson insists on taking pictures with me in it.. not the best but what the heck!

After the game we met up with one of Bryson's mission buddies and his fiance. We went bowling and played air hockey. I didn't get any pictures of bowling but Bryson and I rocked! Unfortunately we tied.. oh well! Here is a picture of Bryson playing
Friday I went to dinner and a movie with a couple of the girls I work with. It was fun. I didn't get any pictures at dinner. We went to Olive Garden. Yummy! Then we went to Confessions of a Shopaholic. We laughed the whole time! The best part was we snuck milkshakes from Chadders in! So Good!!

Luke's Blessing- so we didn't really get a lot of pictures here. Bryson had to leave and teach our sunbeam class. Thanks hun! I was able stay and spend time with the family. Luke is getting so big!

My Class

I decided to download my picture from my camera and I guess I haven't done that in awhile because I had 91 photos.. oh well. I thought some of you may have find some of this interesting!

A couple weeks ago we took a field trip to the Space Center. It was fun to remember when I was their age and made the same trip.
This is some of my students while they are getting trained for their mission.
P. working hard at decoding!
I would be worried about this kid but he is my perfect student and apparently just relaxing! :)
Valentines Day.. do I need to say more? It was fun to see all the boys trying to sneak notes to girls that day. I have a feeling that this is the time where they all start to get funny about "going out"
I thought this box was awesome! A lot of hard work went into it
My students passing their valentines out!

This past Friday we had Nova graduation. N.O.V.A. stands for Nurturing, Opportunities, Values, and Accountability. Remember the Dare program... Nova is like Dare on steroids. ha. It covers a lot more material. We almost didnt' get to have graduation or even finish the program because of Lehi City budgets cuts (like the rest of our world). Our officer was great and offered to come on his own time to finish and our PTA stepped in and helped make graduation possible. Our school was the only school able to finish! Thanks Bart! The students learn so much for this program and I hope we can get it back next year!
Our students wrote essays on what NOVA is to them. They announced winners at graduation and was able to get a couple of things to remember. This is just one of the groups getting their awards.
