I am a mother of boys!
We had our big ultrasound today, and it was pretty obvious that this baby is a boy. He looked so healthy and strong. The lady doing our ultrasound said he already had pretty defined muscles in his arms, calves, and legs. He was being really cute for us. He was curled up on his belly, but he kept stretching his arms up over his head.


Boys, Boys, Boys! I am going to be surrounded by boys. I don't think I would know what to do with a girl if I had one.  We are very excited to have Austin or Keeton, (Keaton) come into our lives!

We are moving! Jake accepted a job offer at Snow College to be their internal auditor. It was a hard decision for our family because we didn't want to move right now. We love it in Eagle Mountain. We love our neighbors and friends. We love Taylor's school. We just prayed about it a lot last week, and Jake and I went to the temple, and we felt good about it. This means that Jake will be home more. He won't have to drive an hour to and from work every day, and he won't have to work late every night. We feel like we are heading on a big adventure, because we don't know how everything is going to work out. We will be living with Jake's family at first, and hopefully we can get someone to rent or buy our house. It is all so crazy, and hard to believe that it is really happening. Life is an adventure, and it is so nice to have someone to go through it with. I love my husband and kids, and as long as we are together, everything will work out.
We went for a walk the other day, and the boys got really quiet. I didn't realize until we were home that they had fallen asleep. They must have been really tuckered out. This is a picture of Taylor and Tristan. They are best friends at his little preschool. I got to meet him at a BEAR (Be Excited About Reading) party the school put on.

Happy Birthday!!!
We celebrated Jake's 28th birthday, and James' 3rd last week. Jake wanted deep dish Chicago style pizza, bread sticks, Reeses' brownies, and to watch a football game for his birthday.
James wanted pasta for dinner. We had Alfredo and broccoli (he loved the broccoli). He also wanted to race cars at his party, so Jake and I made a home made race track from cardboard. The boys loved it.


The guys had a little war with some party favors. (Thanks for the package Sarah)
James wanted a cake cooked in an ice cream cone for his birthday.


We had a fun birthday week!

Toy Room Mural
I finally finished the mural I have been working on for months. It is my first one, and I think next time I will do something a little smaller scale. There is a lady in my ward who paints murals for people, and she helped me get started. I really appreciate her taking the time to teach me a few things. This is the boy's play room.
