I am still alive... I think!

Hello to anyone who hasn't totally given up on me. I am still alive, just really, really busy, and really, really pregnant! My life has felt like a whirlwind lately, but I made myself a to-do list and update blog was one of the things on my list.

I am definitely in the "nesting" mode of pregnancy. I have organized most of the closets in my house, re-arranged my office, cleaned out the playroom to make room for the nursery, and many other crazy fanatical things.

We are very excited that warm weather is FINALLY here. We have spent as much time outside as possible. I don't know about any of you, but boy was that winter a long one. I really was about to pull my hair out!

This post is probably not going to make much sense, and I already feel like I am rambling, but I will let you know a few of the highlights of our lives.

* It is official. I and my doctor have no idea when this baby is coming. He keeps moving my date forward and it's freaking me out a little. As for right now we're shooting for the week of June 16. My original due date is July 1. We'll see when this little guy really decides to make his entrance. Speaking of the little guy, he has made himself nice and comfy right in my rib cage and nestled on my bladder. How sweet. It's a good thing I already love him, because sometimes I get a little bit ticked off! My sweet sister gave me 2 HUGE boxes of baby boy clothes. Aww how great it is to have such a great sister, and the blessings of sharing. Thanks Jaimie!

* The biking season has officially begun. I'm not sure how I feel about being 8 months pregnant and chasing my husband and two children all over the state for the next little while, but hey if he's happy I'm happy right? We had a fun trip to St. George. We were able to eat out, shop, and swim. I couldn't ask for more right?

* My dad got into an accident on his horse. He was practicing with Austin, my little brother, and the horse and cow collided. My dad crashed into the fence and then the horse landed on him. He broke his femur and hip. He was in the hospital for a few days and now is home recovering. That was quite a scare, but I'm glad he's going to be ok. We have spent some time up at my parents with him.

* We had a great Easter. It's a family tradition to go to Durke's families farm and to have a BBQ. They have a really cool orchard on their farm and the adults hide like 50 bags of candy, and then we have a little hunt. The kids love it, but I think the adults have more fun. We also played kickball and baseball out in the field. A good time was had by all. We love Easter in our family. Maybe because it's a sign of Spring, and that winter is on it's way out.

* We have been hiking quite a bit. The girls really like it and there are some really cool canyons down here with water falls and cool arches. It's really fun, and it's about the only exercise I get.

* I am the enrichment leader in my ward. Tough, but I guess someone has to do it! :) We just did a big ward party, and we did a County Fair theme. It turned out really fun, but it was a lot of work. We had all the typical fair games, cotton candy, popcorn, raffle tickets, dinner, the whole works. If any of you are looking for a fun ward activity, give me a call.

Anyhow, if you are interested in what's going on in my life and are still reading, thanks. I pledge now to do better at posting. It's one of those things if you put it off it seems like a really big thing. Here's a few pics. Have a good day.
