A BOY or a GIRL????

As most of you know, I am Pregnant! I am 19 weeks today! Almost half way there to have Baby Rauen. We are so excited! I'm due Sept 17th. This has really happened so fast. We figured that since I was on birth control for almost 7 years, it would take a long time to get pregnant, but lo and behold someone had different plans for us. So on the first try, first month, it happened!! So next week is the big ultra sound. I think once we find out what we are having everything will fall into place. I have been in denial about the whole thing, cause I can't believe it happened so fast! Now if only Sept could come faster. What do you think we will have.... A boy??? or a girl???

Fun in the Sun

We went to Hawaii on the spur of the moment at the begining of March. We have been to Hawaii 5 times now. I love those vacations, just pack your bag and run. We had so much fun in the sun. We also got to visit with our friends that live on Oahu. Isaiah and Jess are the best tour guides! We saw WHALES! We dug for CRABS! We had PINEAPPLE everyday! We even saw Dennis Quaid! We had SHAVED ICE almost everyday too! All in all it was a nice and relaxing week.

Blogging Tips

I've made it a goal to do better at my blog this year, but it don't think it's helped. We've been back from Hawaii for about a month and I haven't posted any pictures. Slacker! I know! I'm not really busy and have no excuse. I think I need tips on blogging. Maybe a blogging lesson. What to write about? What to say? I guess I've never been one to share my feelings, so that must be it. Any tips or give me a lesson on blogging would be very helpful. Please leave a comment. Throw me a rope and send help my way :) Pictures from Hawaii are on the way. Hold Please!

Christmas in March???? Huh???

Oh Christmas Tree.... Oh Christmas Tree.....I know your thinking it's too late for this, but I'm going to post it anyways. We each got so many presents. Too many to think of at this point. Look at all those presents under the tree!!!

My parents are on the left and Brandon's mom is on the right. They just loved their presents!! I love to see thier faces, they never have an idea of what they are getting. Until next Christmas!

Sleeping on the Couch!

Who is in trouble, and what did I do? You might be thinking Brandon and I got in a fight or something, but that's not the case. I've had a terrible head cold for the last couple of days, and I cough all night. So I have been kind enough to let my husband have the bed so he could get a good nights rest. He has been working 14 hour days, and I feel it's the least I could do. I think if I stay away from him for a few days, hopefully he won't get my sickness. I wish him luck! How many times have you slept on the couch? How many times has your spouse slept on the couch. Were you in trouble?

Brandon goes hunting

Isaiah from Hawaii visited his in laws here in Salem, UT, they are very gracious and always include us in their plans while they are here. They usually do something new and fun for both Isaiah and Brandon. Brandon is from San Francisco and didn't grow up hunting but he got a pheasant on the hunt. He was the first one to shoot a bird and shot several more with the Jensens' and Isaiah. Russ Jensen and his sons and his excellent hunting dog got all but one of the birds they paid to hunt! See how beautiful the color of these birds are. What a great experience he had. He had a very sore shoulder but he managed to grind through the pain to do this just once in his life, he will have great memories of this day.
