Utah Baby Shower

My baby shower was such a blast!!  I had been looking forward to it for so long, and I was so happy when the day finally arrived!  Lizzie and Anna Lisa spoiled me so much and gave me such a sweet shower!  I'm so grateful for amazing friends who share in on our excitement of the twins!  We are so blessed!

The picture of me and Lizzie from the shower didn't turn out, so here's our bump picture from her shower!  

I love all these girls so much and I'm so grateful they all made it to my shower!  



Cali Baby Shower

My Cali baby shower was so much fun!  I had a lot of my Cali family make it and it was so great to catch up with everyone!  Jessi and Kayhryn threw it for me, but many other people helped out.  We are so grateful!  
The three of us were all pregnant!  Jessi was 25 weeks, I was 26 weeks, and Megan was somewhere at the end-she got induced the following week.  It's so fun to grow babies at the same time as others!!

San Diego Zoo

We had been planning on going to the San Diego Zoo for a while since Knotts was out of the question but going while pregnant wasn't the best idea-but I survived! The hills and sheer size of the zoo was pretty intense.  Poor Lance and Zander were sweet to go at my pace, but man-it made for a long day.    


Cali trip 2015

Here are a few pics from our Cali trip this year.  We decided to take the tent trailer in leu of having to pay for a hotel.  It worked out good and ended up being pretty comfortable.  We parked it on dad and Jessi's street for the majority of the trip and at the beach for a few nights.  We went to Carlsbad State Beach, which was cold and muggy but Zander didn't seem to mind and enjoyed himself.  While we were down there my sisters were so sweet to throw me a baby shower and it was great seeing people we don't  normally see while we're down there.  All in all, a successful trip!  Who knows the next time we'll get to Cali with the twins making their debut next month.  Hopefully their cuteness will solicit more visitors our way!  
Of course in Utah there is still snow up on the mountain tops in early June.  Go away, snow!
Z man at the park by Jessi's.  We tried to do all the exercises on the little path, but they were pretty lame.  
All my sons in one picture!  Love it!  
I love my Utahn turned Cali loving boy!  Although, I must say his driving still resembles that of Utah driving, making for a bit of road rage on his end....perhaps I'll do the driving while in Cali!  I learned in that aggressive environment and it doesn't phase me at all:) 
Family of three about to be five!  
Dark and gloomy--not too fun but they made the most of it!  
Our cute little tent trailer.

Jessi and I had to get a bump photo!  We've been wanting to be pregnant at the same time for a while now!  It's been so much fun!  

Zander goes to Greenwood

Zander's school year ended a week earlier than mine, and as a result he got to come and participate with some of Greenwood's end of year festivities.  Some of my third grade students took him under their wing and insisted he go to the day's activities with them.  It was so sweet!  
Here is Zander sitting with the third graders for the annual end of year kickball game between the teachers and 6th graders.  I was a little sad that I couldn't participate due to being pregnant, but I'll take the pregnancy over kickball anyday!  
Zander with his candy lot!  Confessions didn't disappoint.  
The AF fire department was so good to Greenwood by coming and spraying the students with their hoses!  It was a blast and so memorable!  
So cold!  
Sasha and Zander's aftermath from the spraying!  Don't they look cute?!
Cute kids!  It was such a fun year working at the same school Sasha attended.  Greenwood is so great!  As happy as I am to be home now, I will miss Greenwood terribly!  

Father and son camping

Lance and Zander attended the father/son camp out and had a blast!  They called to say goodnight sometime around 11:00 and boy were they wired!!  Laughing and just being crazy-it was really fun to see!  I'm so grateful that these two have each other!
