Announcing. . . . . . . . . . .

If they following image doesn't give you a good enough hint, I don't know what else to say to help you:

That's right! Chris and I are expecting. We are 8 weeks along and our estimated due date is February 28th, 2010. Morning sickness isn't bad except for being really tired and I always need to have crackers readily available. Will keep you updated.

Has It Really Been Ten Years????

I just realized that I have not posted anything on our blog since our trip to Idaho last week. I attended my high school reunion in Challis last Saturday. Chris and I left on Friday afternoon. After what seemed like driving forever and quick stop in Pocatello for some food, we arrived at my parents' house on Friday night. Saturday morning, Chris went with my brothers and nephews to irrigate, while Katina's mom hosted a Mary Kay party. It was a great success. That afternoon, Katina and Chris went to see Katina's old high school friends, Katie and Royce. Katina hasn't seen them since before she got married. They have three adorable girls. After watching 6 year-old Tori beat Royce multiple times on the Wii, they visited for awhile. That night was the reunion. Katina graduated with 32 classmates; only 8 of them showed up that night. It was held in a very loud bar (typical for my class). It was fun to see what everyone has been doing with their life since graduation. Sunday they went to church before having a family dinner. We then arrived back home Sunday night. Katina has been very busy since then in meetings at school and Mary Kay on Tuesday night. Tomorrow we plan on going to the Pioneer Day parade. Will post about that soon after it happens rather than waiting a week.

Logan

On Friday, Chris and I decided to go to Logan to attend the temple. Neither one of us had to work. The temple is gorgeous, but not as pretty as the drive up there the outside of the temple

We did nothing on the 4th of July. We have discovered that most of the fun things in Utah take place the weekend before the Fourth.

The last two weeks

Hooray for being out of school! Katina's last day of school was on Thursday, July 2nd. The only thing that really happened that day was the 6th grade got into a food fight. Welcome to the future of America!

Chris and I have had a fun two weeks. Last weekend was Taylorsville Dayzz. One of the lead entertainers on Friday night was Jason Hewlett, a great impersonator. We staked out our places early in the evening. About 20 minutes before he was to come on, we noticed these clouds:

To add insult to injury, I had left my umbrella at home. About two minutes later, a giant wind, rain, and thunderstorm came. I was hiding out underneath a blanket while Chris was helping out taking chairs down that had blown over. It rained like this for 20 minutes. We ended up going onto the stage to wait it out. Once the storm had blown over, Jason Hewlett came on the stage. They only let him perform for 30 minutes before they called it quits. We felt angry that we didn't get to see his whole show that we decided to go to Ft. Herriman days on Saturday where Jason Hewlett was performing. This event was great and we got to see him in his entire performance plus the fireworks show. Here are some pictures of his performance. If you ever get the chance to see him, he is hilarious and well worth your time. I don't think I have laughed so hard in my entire life.
