Baby Pictures

We had our ultrasound this week and got some 4d images of our little princess! Isn't she beautiful?! It is so neat how she already has a personality! We are absolutely in love!!

I had my first attempt at making a minky blanket today and I am so proud of how it turned out!! I read lots of blogs online that said it was very difficult, but after reading lots of tips I decided to give it a go! I have been working on rag quilts with Brent's mom and have been getting a lot more comfortable with the sewing machine. This just gets me excited to attempt more sewing projects in the future!!

20 Weeks!!

We are halfway there!!

It has been a little while and I really feel like my belly has started to pop this week!! Here are a couple pictures!

Yes... if you are wondering... my nails are neon... summer is winding down and I thought why not go out with a bang :)

Happy Summer!!

Happy Independence Day!!
I love this time of the year! We had a blast today grilling out and going to the fireworks up at Weber High! **Note** This delicious fruit pizza pictured below was devoured by 5 of us before the night was over. And I am pretty sure I ate half of it. :)



We got to go on our first bike ride of the summer this week and it was amazing! Isn't that a gorgeous backdrop to have when biking around your home??

Perfect Day

I have been terrible at posting since last week!! We have tons of pictures to post, but I just wanted to post a couple of the best day! I could never have imagined the day going any better. Knowing we are now an eternal family is the most incredible feeling. We had a photographer take some great pictures so hopefully soon we can have some better ones!

Delicious

Thank you Ann for getting me addicted. What you can't see in this picture of sugary goodness is the huge mess on my stove from when my pot was too small and it boiled over. A lot. Haha lesson learned! :)

Finally Here!

Well folks, summer has finally arrived (although it doesn't really feel like it outside)! Today was the last day of school and it is so bittersweet! With the paper chain hanging in our room for the past month and the dreams of laying poolside, I have been so excited for summer! But when 1:25 came today, I was so sad to see my babies leave! Here are a few things I am going to miss the most about not being with my kids everyday:

• Getting hugged a zillion times a day (I can probably have Brent help me with this one)
  
• Speech impediments (you totally fall in love with them)
• Dancing to Jailhouse Rock, Twist and Shout, and the Hokey Pokey
• Laughing at the funny things kids say
• Hearing about 20 times a day "Mom, I mean Mrs. Keller! I always call you Mom!"
• My kids being so excited about everything in my life that they want to share it!

Here is an example of the last one. During the last 5 minutes I was alone with my kids, I decided to let them in on a little secret. I told them I had a surprise for them, but that they would have to wait until they were second graders. After they realized my secret, they proceeded to throw their arms in the air and ran to every teacher outside (who all still didn't know) yelling, "Mrs. Keller is having a baby!!!"

Oh yeah... we are having a baby. :)

A picture says a thousand words...

Brent and I captured this photo at a stoplight on our way home from visiting the cemeteries for Memorial Day. It really seemed to capture the beauty of Memorial Day and being grateful for all those who have served for our freedom!!

This has been a pretty crazy week around our house... A week that has put life into perspective for us for sure! Brent's dad got into a car accident on Thursday night when he drove off of North Ogden Pass. After a late night at the Emergency Room and a stable spinal fracture he was released and we all were left a little in awe. After hearing his story, seeing where he drove off, seeing his car, and spending time with him, we have realized that we have truly seen a miracle. There are so many sad things that happen in the world and I 100% believe there were angels looking out for Brent's dad that night.

Life is crazy. There are decisions to be made every day. There is work, family, marriage, church, kids, animals, parents, siblings, co-workers, students, school, etc... I am sure the list could go on and on for some of us! At the end of the day though, what is really important? It makes me sad to think that sometimes it takes these extreme events for us to see what really matters that the end of the day!

I am so lucky to have amazing family and friends. If you are still reading this maybe take a minute and take the opportunity to remember to be grateful for all of the blessings in your own life!
