So I did not have to take the dog with us after all. My mother-in-law called the morning that I was leaving and said that she would take care of it while we were away. It was so nice of her to do that for us. We had an enjoyable weekend in St.George it was our last getaway before Jason starts his new job and before the baby comes. 

The boys had fun camping and I met them at the condo and they were able to clean themselves off in the pool. Yes swimming, it was a beautiful day. The next day we went up to Zion's and took the bus tour through the park and got out at various spots for hiking. It rained off and on, so the boys complained that there feet were cold, but they had to step in every puddle they came across. 

Spring Break!

We are having a fun spring break, so far!  We started out by having a fabulous relaxing weekend watching general conference. The talks were so inspiring. It made us feel so grateful for all that we have. My favorite talk was by Elder Holland on the Atonement. 

The boys have had two Easter egg hunts this week. The first was across the street from my in- laws, an annual Easter egg hunt from our old ward. The other was with our ward at a nearby park. The weather was beautiful both days. The boys even got a little sun burned! 

I also forgot to mention that 2 weekends ago while visiting my parents and siblings, I was talked into getting a dog! My sister Julie mentioned before we went down that her friends had a dog that they wanted to give to us. I wasn't sure I wanted the responsibility, being 5 weeks away from having a baby! But the boys wanted him sooo badly and he is a really good dog, I decided to bring him home. His name is Ron. We thought of changing it, but the boys were sure that we could not, so it is still Ron or as they call him Ron Ron or Ronny. 

Jason left this morning to Zion's to take the boys camping. They went with Grandpa Abbott in his big truck. They were so excited, I was also excited for them and also for me, I get a day to myself. I will be meeting up with them tomorrow in St. George. And yes I am taking the dog, wish me luck on our first trip with the dog.

March Update!

I had my baby shower a few days ago. It was soo nice, lots of great desserts, a very cool diaper cake, and many friends. I am so grateful for those who had a hand in putting it together. I could not have asked for anything more. I received so many cute clothes, quilts , hair bows and two very sheik wipes containers. It is a blessing being surrounded by so many talented people that can create such fun things for little girls!  Oh, and I also received new bedding, which I was totally surprised. I had picked it out and mentioned it to Rachelle, but to my surprise family and friends purchased it for us and I already have it in her room. I will have to post pics later of the shower and baby's room when it is done.

A belly shot for my sister Tracy!

Cade and Josh also finished up their first season of basketball. It was a lot of fun watching them play they really enjoyed it. They looked forward to every practice and game! Josh ended the season with fun treats and a medallion his coaches gave him. Cade ended with a swim party at his coaches house (thanks Troy and Deidra), with pizza, cake and trophies.

Cade also lost his two front teeth this month. He was very excited about it. One tooth had been dangling for awhile and Cade would not let any of us touch it. We went over to Jon and Rachelle's one evening and after talking to his Uncle Jon for a couple minutes Cade let him pull it right out!  We still don't know what he said to him.
