Ahhh, isn't she cute?


Ok, so what if I am getting a little excited. I had my big "healthy baby" ultrasound yesterday with the technitian. I love this picture the best, where she has her arm up to her head and she's facing down. She said everything looks great and when it comes to telling the gender, she doesn't guess. She is certain it is a girl. I know the dr. told us last month, but I only took that as a guess. Now that were sure, I can start painting. We will move rooms around next month.
Thanks to all who put in their comments on names. We are really leaning towards Brielle. There is a 4 year old girl in our ward with that name, but I asked her mom and she fine if we wanted to use it, too.
Tommorrow is a typical Saturday for us with all the hussell of raising kids. Soccer games for all 3 at 9am, piano recital at 4pm, and pictures with Skyler in his scout uniform, for the court of honor, at 5. Not to mention that Kevin and Caleb want to start a garden. Life is good when were happily involved in a good cause!

An Eagle in our midst


Schuyler is officially an Eagle Scout!! We are so proud of him. He will share his court of honor with friends and family on May 15th, (3 days before his 15th birthday) He has worked so hard and has had some great leaders help him along the way. For his eagle scout project he took picture of headstones at the Brigham city cemetary and downloaded them on to a CD where the city will now put them on the internet for others to look up their ancestors. You'd think after getting your Eagle you can relax and enjoy a few moments, but Schuyler is a doer. He is putting up posters today in fact for the sophomore class officer elections. Then he is studing for his learners permit next month, and this summer he has been hired as a camp counselor at the Bear Lake Scout Camp to assist in the aquadic department, helping scouts to recieve their swimming merit badge. He will be at camp for 9 weeks, coming home for the weekends (to do laundy and go to church). He is very excited to do that, especially with a few of his friends from school.

I am now 19 weeks along and finally looking more pregnant than fat. So lately we've been throwing around a lot of girl names. Since Mark has 15 nieces and I have 7, plus 2 more niecs born this summer, we have our work cut out for us. Mark is great at making lists then handing them to me so I can scratch out the ones I don't like. Here are a few we actually agree on. Give input:

Katherine
Summer
Paige
Brielle
Abigail
