Oh My.... HAIL!!

We had a crazy storm this week that produced HUGE hail. As we were watching the news they kept saying we would be hit by ping pong ball sized hail, but OH NO it was BIGGER!! It was pretty intense. We were inside (of course), but it sounded like we were under attack- it was so loud on the roof.

Brent was daring enough to run outside so we could get close up pictures. Many of you have seen these pictures, but they are just AMAZING to me!

The kids thought they were  pretty cool to hold!

3" can you believe it!! 

nope, not snow, just hail

size compared to tennis ball!

Fish Tank Renewed

We found out a little early!!

IT'S A BOY!!

My doctor requested an ultrasound to make sure our due date was correct. I didn't know for sure if we would be able to tell the gender of the baby or not, but we did!! We don't have to wait another 4 weeks to find out now! We are so excited! Leila was wanting a little sister, but after she saw the ultrasound pictures she was excited to have another brother too!

Lately...

It's a Wonderful Life

It's been a long while since we last posted.  We had a great holiday season and also a fantastic Christmas break!  It was wonderful to see family again, especially both of our brothers who returned from their missions and my sister's family in Arizona whom we have not seen for nearly two years.  On our trip we logged over 3,000 miles, went from -31 to 65 degrees, traversed eight states, saw some of the country's most beautiful wonders, saw three new temples and even stranded ourselves in Show Low, Arizona (thankfully short-lived).  We are happy to be back home and in the swing of things, but will miss the beautiful mountain west and our families until next time!
