Derek's an Elder

My little brother got ordained an Elder! I can't believe that Derek is putting in his papers. I never thought that this day would come, but I am so proud of him for being such a good kid and being not only worthy to go but actually wanting to go. I am gonna freak out when he actually gets his call! Derek we love you and are so Proud of you! I can't beleive that you are old enough to go on a mission!

Jazz Game

Colby has been dying to go to a Jazz game so instead of just talking about it we finally broke down and bought some tickets to Saturdays game. We were really looking forward to going and were excited when they won Thursdays game. But not only did the Jazz suck it up on Saturdays game (they couldn't even get within 20 points the whole last half) But Colby got sick this weekend and still insisted on going. It turned out to be pretty fun we had Jonny and his wife Lindsay come with us but I wish that Colby wouldn't have been sick and the Jazz would have won or at least played better :(

HOpPy EasTeR !

This Easter was really relaxed... We did color Easter eggs... I made Colby do it, and he was a good sport about it :) Even though it was kind of lame.. I felt like I had to do something to make it feel like a holiday! I got Colby 'YES MAN' the Jim Carey movie. It is pretty funny if you haven't seen it you should go get it. Colby go us tickets to see George Straight, Brad Paisley and some other concerts.. it was a package deal, so we are excited to go to those this summer (if summer ever comes). And although we didn't do Easter baskets for each other that doesn't mean that we missed out on the Easter candy :) I love Easter but most of all I love the Easter candy... Who can resist the Reese's eggs or the Cadbury mini eggs in the purple bag?! NOT me!! They are amazing, but why is it that every year they sell out and you can't find them? I went to Target like the day before Easter and it was a mad house... people were going crazy in the Easter isles it was like as bad as Christmas! I hope that in between gorging ourselves on Easter candy we remembered The real reason that we celebrate Easter! Oh how Thankful I am for the atonement! Seriously I would be a huge mess without the gospel!

Getting Closer...

So first of all, I finally got the results back from my cyst and I am completely fine... WAHOOO!! the Dr came in and said,"Would you like the good news or... the good news?" I was so excited but he scared me half to death. Usually when the Dr starts something off with, "Would you like the good news" it is followed by something not so good. So I guess my cyst is fine to just sit there for a while. and I will just keep watching it.

We also went to our last 4 week apt last Friday, which now means we start to go every 2 weeks.... that means that I am close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Don't get me wrong, I love having this little guy kicking away inside me. But I am so sick of being prego. I can't sleep and the Braxton Hicks contractions are kicking my trash! Sometimes I swear I am really going into labor! haha. But our little baby boy is now being compared to 4 oranges (in weight) and he is just gonna get bigger and bigger until he comes... so unfortunately so am I!

on the plus side, I also actually accomplished something that I set out to do this week. I painted the baby dresser :) and I finally feel like the room is somewhat coming together. Colby did a great job painting it a few weeks back. I came home and it was all done. He put big thick brown stripes on the wall which I completely love! He is the best! Getting the room ready and buying little outfits just makes us want him here! We can't wait to see what he looks like! I hope he has Colby's blue eyes, and hair line!! ha ha (no offense dad)!
