28 weeks down, 12 more to go!! Grow baby boy grow!

Happy Mother's Day!

I am so grateful for two wonderful mothers in my life who are such amazing examples!! I love them so much, and I'm so grateful for their selfless acts... and endless service!!

I hope I can be more like them... preferably by December 10 because that is when I am going to be a mom!! I am so excited to join the club and be a Mom, what an amazing blessing!! Baby Leavitt has been makin me so tired, and so nauseas, but I can't complain... I'm so blessed!

Happy Mother's Day!!

I have to admit, one of my "not so great traits" is the fact that I can get buried in a book... for a few days. It's similar to hibernating, when I pick up a good book, you might as well say good-bye to me for a few days (i'm not a very fast reader.) My latest "addiction" is this book, THE FIRM. Dixon has been begging me to read it for a long time now and I finally gave in. Oh my goodness, it is a huge page turner!!! I am happy to say that I am out of hibernation, but looking for my next good read...

I think my husband is glad to have me back;)

Quincy, California

This place is called Quincy, California. And this picture does not in any way do it justice. This past weekend, we went with Wade and Carolyn to Quincy for Dixon's great grandmother's funeral. It is absolutely gorgeous there, freezing in the winter, but gorgeous! I seriously contemplated about getting buried there... for a brief moment. It was such a great time to see the Leavitts, i've been going through some serious Leavitt family withdrawls... I haven't seen them since Christmas!!

Thank you Wade and Carolyn for letting us come with you guys... we sure had a good time with you.

PS I may or may not have gotten locked out of our hotel room and Dixon didn't hear me knocking so I sat down in front of the door with the ice bucket in hand and enjoyed my ice for ten... maybe fifteen minutes before Dixon figured out I was missing. Good times!

Mmmm

Fact: I LOVE pancakes... I could possibly eat them for every meal. I don't know what happened, but when I turned 15 I suddenly went crazy over pancakes. I love to eat them plain, with peanut butter on top, with syrup, with jam... with everything!!!

Rumor: Pancakes taste better when they are free

Fact: Pancakes taste TEN times better when they are FREE!!

Got to love free pancake day at IHOP last Tuesday, I almost wanted to ask for a second plate, but I exercised my self control! Pancakes make me happy. The End.

Our new favorite thing

By the looks of this picture, you would think that he doesn't really like his stroller...



...but I promise you he does. He LOVES it! And we love our walks!

You Know Something is Seriously Wrong With You When....

You go to a Cardio Sculpt class, and the pregnant lady standing next to you that looks like she is going to pop any day, is kicking your butt! I had to stop so many times to rest my arms (darn all those shoulder raises) and breathe, but she didn't stop once. Jillian Michaels (aka personal trainer from the biggest loser) has seriously let me down. Guess I got to build up more stamina. It gave me serious doubts about running my half marathon!

On a side note, we got a deer stuck in our gate today. You heard me correctly, A DEER, as in a little baby Bambi got stuck in our gate. Lyla was going nuts, runnin circles around it, barkin at it. We learned that Animal Contral is not open on Sunday (so thank goodness it was not a bear stuck in the gate!) With the help of our neighbor, Dixon managed to get it out! Thus adds to our adventures in little old Cedar City.

PS my choc chip cookies did not turn out today, which made me a tad on the ornery side. I have got to find a new recipe!!
