Mason's Announcement



Mason is going to be a big brother some time around July 3rd!!


Here is a little list I compiled that might help explain my lack of blogging lately.


Some signs you are experiencing "morning sickness".


*Taken from the last 3 months of Rachel's life




  • Your favorite foods are no longer based on how they taste going down, but instead how they taste coming up. (Gushers make for surprisingly fruity vomit.)


  • If you make any sudden movement in bed your husband jumps because he thinks your going to throw up on him.


  • You make sure every patient's room at work is adequately stocked with emesis basins even though none of them are nauseous.


  • You throw up so violently you pee your pants on the bathroom floor.


  • You skip Thanksgiving dinner for fear of offending your in-laws by gagging as you pass Grandma's famous stuffing.


  • Your little boy thinks it's a game to lean over the toilet and make noises.

Stay tuned for some exciting catch-up posts to come this week.

Let it Snow

Scott and I have often talked about how Utah winters have gotten wimpier over the years. We both remember school and church being canceled and playing in snow piles taller than us. Well mother nature must have been offended by our comments and has been proving us wrong this winter. It has lived up to our all our winter memories and expectations. Scott and Mason have spent many nights out shoveling the driveway, just to have it covered again the next morning. The snow piles literally have been taller than Mason. It has been an absolute blast!! So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
